  • Finally found exactly what I’ve been searching for.

    I’ve been searching for a podcast that isn’t 4 hours long and that has real-life application with topics to make me a better man. Mike nails it with a simple and vulnerable approach. He breaks down topics into easy-to-digest nuggets of gold. I look forward weekly to each episode.

  • Value of Podcast is Far Beyond What’s Described

    Out of the many podcasts by men for men (primarily), Mike invests in himself and his craft, specializing and then diversifying his experience and knowledge to serve more human beings. He is not pitching “self-improvement, “ “sales,”” diets” “bio- hacking “ or “body composition” - he is a Holistic teacher and husband and father who is LIVING THE PATH, ever-evolving and remaining humble and persistent in his pursuit of service.

    I highly recommend his work and encourage you to share this podcast ... more

  • Mike’s heart comes right through.

    Mike connects in a way I’ve never seen from a podcast. The feeling of support I feel just listening to these episodes is incredible. Such relevant topics in things that cut deep to what matters most in our lives. Powerful perspectives and always walk away from every episode with a new tool in my belt. Thanks for these conversations Mike.
