Interview with Chris Marshall
Chris and Michael met in the summer of 2018 at a networking referral event, and it was not an accident. Michael was searching for the "last plateau" of his recovery/reinvention after 369 Days, and through Chris, Michael has lost over 25 pounds since July of 2018.
Chris talks about health and wellness, and 3 challenges that are happening:
1. Our food is not what it used to be, due to our soil not being what it used to be
2. We are stressed, and stress levels keep increasing and doesn't ease up. Studies show that 79% of people surveyed indicate they are stressed 24/7!
3. We live in a toxic world (chemicals that we take in via air, what we drink, what we eat, what we see and hear)
Does your 2019 plans include a healthier lifestyle, with less stress ? It should! We can help.

Interview with Benjamin Brandt
Benjamin discusses retirement planning, and how it's important for us to "rehearse retirement" because what we think retirement will look and feel like, and how it will ACTUALLY feel are often two different worlds.
Short vacations are not a break. You need at least 15 days to completely refresh from work.
You can listen to Benjamin on his Retirement Starts Today podcast.
