When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self.

What if I told you that the biggest thing standing between you and your goals isn’t your skill, your talent, or even your resources... but your belief? Let’s be real—most of us don’t struggle with setting goals. We struggle with believing they’re possible. We tell ourselves, “I’ll believe it when I see it.” But here’s the truth: you’ll see it when you believe it. Today, we’re going to break down why your belief system is the most powerful tool you have, and more importantly, how to shift it to work in your favor. By the time we’re done, you’re going to walk away with a mindset shift and a game plan that’ll help you start believing before you achieve. -- SHOW NOTES & LINKS: Join The Forge!

Today, we’re diving into a powerful and ancient concept—the Refiner’s Fire . Now, if you’ve been with me for past episodes, you know that we’ve talked a lot about how struggle isn’t just something to survive—it’s something to harness . Whether it was in the episode on overcoming fear or building resilience, we’ve seen time and again that the challenges we face are shaping us into stronger, more capable individuals. But today, we’re going even deeper. Because the Refiner’s Fire isn’t just about making it through difficulty—it’s about being transformed by it. It’s about using life’s most intense moments to burn away what’s unnecessary and reveal something more pure, more refined, and more powerful than before. So if you’re in a season of struggle, if you feel like you’re being tested, if January 2025 was the longest January of your life, if you’re wondering how to find purpose in the pain—this episode is for you.

Let me ask you something—when was the last time you truly paused ? Not just took a day off, but really stepped away from the noise, disconnected, and gave yourself the space to breathe and reset? If you’re like most people, the answer is probably ‘I can’t remember.’ Well, today, we’re talking about the ultimate power move in a world obsessed with hustle—retreating. And no, it’s not running away. It’s about finding the clarity and strength you need to come back even stronger. Retreating is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. In a world of constant hustle, hitting pause is the ultimate power move. It doesn’t mean you’ve got to take a month off, it could mean taking an afternoon for yourself outside, in your favorite chair with a cup of coffee, using your favorite patriotic mug. In today’s episode, we’re diving into the six powerful reasons why taking a retreat is essential for your health, well-being, and personal growth. We’ll explore how stepping away from the grind can help you reset mentally, physically, and emotionally—so you can come back stronger, more focused, and ready to take on whatever life throws your way. -- SHOW NOTES/LINKS: Join The Forge!

What if I told you that the secret to unlocking your greatest potential lies in ancient wisdom from feudal Japan–and that you can use it to master the four key areas in your life? This four-tiered class system consists of the archetypes of Warrior, Farmer, Artisan, and Merchant and they perfectly tie into the FIRE framework of Fitness, Intellect, Relationships, and Energy. In today’s episode, I’m going to introduce you to these archetypes, explain how they directly relate to the FIRE framework, and how combining them provides a practical and powerful tool for achieving growth in all areas of life. -- SHOW NOTES/LINKS: Join The Forge!

How many times have you played a video game and gotten super frustrated to the point that you felt like throwing the controller? Did you give up and throw it? Did you quit the game in your frustrated state, or did you take a breath and press on until you beat the level or the game entirely? Our emotions are great indicators for us being at a crossroads and they offer us a point in time where we get to actively choose how we want to move forward. You see lots of stickers and shirts out there that say things like, “Be nice” or “Happiness is attractive”, but you know what I find attractive? People who know what true anger feels like and they take that anger and make something amazing from it. People who have been beaten into the dirt, they stand up, dust themselves off and come back stronger from the challenges they face. Those are my people. In today’s episode, I’m going to talk about those emotions that foster our dark energy, how we can use our dark energy to do amazing things, and some reasons why you should consider this approach the next time you’re experiencing so-called negative emotions.

Success is something that we all have to define for ourselves. We need to take a step back from what we’re doing, look at the road we are on, and ask ourselves if it will lead us to what we ultimately believe success to be. However, we need to identify the things that would keep us on the right track or throw us off course. In today’s episode, I will share three questions that will help you stay aligned in your definition of success so you can make adjustments or maybe even start a different path altogether. -- SHOW NOTES/LINKS: Join The Forge!
