How we organize our day, the tasks we do at night, our bedtime routine, and our bedding all impact the quality of our sleep. We all know a person (or two or three) who brag about being able to run on 3-4 hours of sleep… but why? For Susana Saeliu, sleep is the foundation of her day… and for good reasons! "If I get a good night's sleep, I perform best the next day and I want to be the best version of myself every day," she says. Do you agree? Susana is an adrenaline junkie, but she also values rest and relaxation. As an entrepreneur, car racing enthusiast, and EDM fan, she's no stranger to a fast-paced life of excitement. Though, to be able to keep up with such a demanding life, you need high-quality sleep and bedding that's perfect for you. Thus, Pluto Pillow, the first and only custom sleep pillow that's crafted to your body stats, how you sleep, and what you like, was born.

His dream came to fruition, but at a price he never imagined he'd have to pay. During his time traveling the world, he landed in Zimbabwe playing professional men's soccer.

When it seems like your life is falling apart, what do you rely on? For many, it's hope, yet half of Americans experience hopelessness.

The pandemic, political disagreements, war… there are so many sources of separation and loneliness in the world. That's why, now more than ever, we must shed light on the importance of human connection, attunement, and cultivating presence within ourselves as well as with others. Meaningful connection is an innate, primal need from the time we're born to the time we return to the dirt of the Earth. When we find that connection, we enter a flow state and even our brain waves become synchronized. Imagine the immense change and growth we could experience if we put more energy into connecting with ourselves and one another! Dr. Edward Bodkin and Ashley Pallathra have co-authored the insightful book, Missing Each Other, that delves into the idea that learning about yourself makes it easier to connect with others. Listen in as they share glorious pieces of wisdom about self-awareness, human connection, and attunement.

Andrea Owen is a life-coach who helps high-achieving women let go of perfectionism, control, and isolation and choose courage and confidence instead. She is known for her signature platform, "Your Kick-Ass Life", which began in 2008 as a blog on all things women's empowerment, before expanding it into a suite of educational tools such as podcasts and books. Andrea is the author of 52 Ways to Live a Kick-Ass Life (2013), How to Stop Feeling Like Sh*t (2018), and, most recently, Make Some Noise: Speak Your Mind and Own Your Strength (2021). Listen in as Andrea talks about the anger that motivated her to write Make Some Noise—driven by her belief that there is still so much to do in the realm of women's empowerment in the 2020s, and that true change begins when women gain the courage to make some noise at the individual level. She also gives her thoughts on what men can do to contribute to this cultural shift and why different lived experiences between males and females can actually serve as a bridge rather than a divide towards equality.

When actress Noel Elie was diagnosed with Lyme disease, she decided not to rely on mainstream medicine but instead opted to utilize alternative treatment modalities, beginning with plant therapy. For Noel, her very first introduction to plant medicine through microdosing psilocybin and ayahuasca served as an amazing gateway into her journey toward holistic healing. "I don't look at it as being defiant; I look at it as being curious," says Noel, speaking on her decision to look the other way despite her doctors' advice at the outset of her diagnosis. Noel describes the painful letting-go process that followed when she realized that she and her husband had to find a new home after testing the house for mold, and how this process helped her become more intentional about her health and possessions. Finally, Noel touches on the power of intuition and how to surrender yourself to it when faced with a decision.

Joe Percoco is the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Titan, which he refers to as "a premier investment firm, but for everyone." Titan is Joe's response to Wall Street's reputation for catering almost exclusively to the ultra-wealthy. His team is dedicated to the long-term growth of investors' capital by following their "time-tested investment philosophy: identifying the rare species of stocks known as "compounders" and holding on tight." Listen in as Joe offers some high-level wisdom on the world of finance and why it's crucial to think like an owner instead of a gambler in the investment world. Asked about the necessity of risk in the investment world, Joe refers to the well-known saying: "Ships weren't meant to stay in the harbor." Hard-earned cash is not meant to be stuffed under your bed. Anybody who wants to grow their wealth has to take risks in the market. In fact, adopting this attitude toward investing forges a mindset that sees opportunity even in a downturn in the economy. It is a mindset that gets you to say, "Let's deploy every ship we've got ashore, because this is an amazing time to buy and invest." Joe also explains Titan's unique vision-mission as an investment firm and his expectations for the future of the industry.
