Ep 199 - How Medical Missions Change Lives with Partners for Global Health

Fri, 28 Nov 2025 17:01:18 -0800

Have you ever wondered what happens when people step outside their comfort zone to bring healing and hope across borders?

Sometimes the most life-changing moments happen far from home, not just for those receiving care, but for those giving it.

In this episode, I sit down with Brita Zuehlke, Christopher Kendall, Lisa Garcia, and Dr. Dan Omire-Mayor from Partners 4 Global Health, Inc. (P4GH), a nonprofit that provides medical care, equipment, and support to communities in need around the world.

They share real stories from their mission trips to places like Guanaja and Honduras, what inspired them to serve, and how these experiences have shaped their lives and faith. It’s a heartfelt look at what it means to make a difference, one person at a time.

From small villages in Central America to lasting friendships built along the way, this conversation reminds us that compassion knows no borders. Listen now to be inspired by their journey and maybe even discover how you can be part of something bigger.

Fri, 27 Jun 2025 10:11:03 -0700

What does healing look like when your identity straddles cultures? How do we address mental health in a community taught to stay silent? What if redefining wellness means confronting intergenerational wounds—together?

Soo Jin Lee is a licensed therapist, Executive Director of Yellow Chair Collective, and co-founder of Entwine Community.

Linda Yoon is the founder of Yellow Chair Collective and a fellow co-founder of Entwine.

Both have been recognized by NPR, PBS, CBS, and more for their groundbreaking work in Asian American mental health.

Ep 194 - Breaking The Stigma Around Men's Mental Health

Thu, 29 May 2025 15:53:17 -0700

What does healing look like when men are finally allowed to speak?

In this powerful episode, we bring together four incredible voices—Leo Xia, Michael Huynh, Jackson Xia, and Noel Garcia, who are each reshaping the conversation around men’s mental health, identity, and healing within Asian and Asian American communities.

Thu, 15 May 2025 15:22:48 -0700

What if your gym felt more like a community than cold, standalone machines? In this episode, I sit down with Coach Josh Graves, founder of Fitness on Fire, to unpack what it takes to build a fitness business that lasts—and why community might be the most important muscle you build.

We talk about how Josh and his wife Haydee took a leap of faith in 2015, opening a gym not just for physical activity and exercise, but for connection, growth, and belonging.

Fitness on Fire just celebrated 10 years and is more than a gym—it’s a life-supporting ecosystem.

📍 Tune in as we cover:

How Coach Josh turned 6,000 square feet into a community-powered wellness hub
Why most gyms fail—and how he built one that thrives
The biggest challenges new fitness entrepreneurs face (and how to push through)
Why self-development is fitness—and how the Blue Zones back that up
His favorite client transformations, what he’d tell his past self, and what’s next

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to turn passion into purpose, or how fitness can fuel more than just the body, this one’s for you.

Fri, 02 May 2025 10:33:15 -0700

Could rethinking your food storage change your health and the planet? In this episode, I sit down with Jordan Grieg, Co-Owner and Co-Operator of Ambrosia, and Grae Maisenbacher from the marketing team, to dive into how a simple family tradition turned into a powerful movement for sustainability, reducing food waste, and reimagining everyday choices.

Chuck shares how he overcame food addiction, the key moments that kept him on track, advice for those struggling with weight, and the surprising truths behind the fast food industry.

Instructions:

1. Blend all the ingredients together until smooth. If still grainy, add a little more water.

2. Chill before using.

Broccoli Salad Ingredients:

2 heads broccoli

2 medium sweet potatoes

1 red onion

2 medium carrots

1 medium apple

1 cup cooked farro

Smokey tofu “mayo” dressing (see above)

Instructions: 1. Cut broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. *

2. Dice onion, carrots, and apple into 1⁄4” pieces.

3. Dice sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Boil until fork tender, drain well, and roast to get some color in a 425 F oven (15-20 minutes).

4. Toast 1⁄2 cup of farro in a dry pan until fragrant. Add 1 1⁄2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, fluff with a fork, and then cover for another 5-10 minutes.

5. Toss all the ingredients in the creamy dressing and chill before serving.

*If you prefer your broccoli not as raw tasting, blanch for 1 minute in hot water then shock in ice. Trim off the more fibrous outer portion of the stem and make sure to chop up and include this portion in your salad. Note: preparing this a day ahead optimizes the nutrient punch of many of these ingredients. The sweet potatoes and farro will develop more resistant starch content and the broccoli will contain more of the amazing health-promoting compound, sulforaphane.

Ep 166 - What Is Regenerative & Sustainable Farming with Farmer Bob Jones

Wed, 31 Jan 2024 12:00:49 -0800

What exactly does it mean to grow vegetables regeneratively? How can farming be a force for good, not just in the food industry but for the planet as a whole?

In this episode, I chatted with Bob Jones, the co-owner and CEO of The Chef's Garden in Huron Ohio. We talked about the roots of their family-owned and operated vegetable farm, their commitment to regenerative practices, and the exciting future they envision.

Bob Jones, CEO of The Chef's Garden in Ohio, spearheads a family-owned vegetable farm with a regenerative approach. Their mission is clear: "To grow exceptional vegetables, care for each other and the land, and inspire a vegetable-forward future." With a lifelong dedication to sustainable farming, Bob, alongside his brother Farmer Lee, has learned from the land and their visionary father, Bob Sr. The farm prioritizes healthy soil, plants, people, and the planet.

Throughout our conversation, we touch on key topics, such as the difference between organic and regenerative practices in the farming industry. Bob simplifies the implications of regenerative farming, offering insights into its future direction. We also explore the challenges of shrinking land for vegetable cultivation and what's driving this concerning trend.

In 2024, they're not just sticking to the classics – Bob gives us a sneak peek into the farm's experiments with new plant species. Join us in cultivating a deeper understanding of what it means to grow good food for a better future.
