For Brock Holyoak, success starts with one person: the one looking back at you in the mirror. In this episode, Brock sits down to talk about discipline, resilience, business, health, fatherhood, and the mindset behind his philosophy, "Build the Mother F*cker in the Mirror." After more than 25 years of building companies, losing and rebuilding, transforming his health, and raising a family, Brock has come to believe that the most important thing a person can build is not a company, a bank account, or even a stronger body — it's themselves… This idea is also at the center of his upcoming book, UNF*CK YOURSELF, which explores the contrast between living a life filled with experiences and reaching the end weighed down by regret. Through blunt humor, hard-earned lessons, and a distinctly blue-collar perspective, Brock challenges people to stop waiting for motivation and start taking responsibility for the life they want to create. This discussion covers: ● Why discipline matters more than motivation. ● What losing everything taught Brock about starting over. ● How physical health can influence confidence, leadership, and performance. ● Why success in business means little if the rest of your life is falling apart. Brock is an entrepreneur, speaker, author, and founder of NuFit, a HIIT-based fitness platform. He is also the CEO of Oakmont Industries and the creator of the Blue Collar Built movement, which speaks directly to tradesmen, builders, fathers, entrepreneurs, and self-made people who are seeking practical ways to become stronger in their health, work, and personal lives.

In this episode, we connect with Jenn Pinkerton to discuss how emotional trauma can shape the way we connect, communicate, and respond in our closest relationships. As a psychotherapist, sexologist, connection expert, founder, and PhD candidate, Jenn brings a trauma-informed perspective to understanding why people can appear confident and successful on the outside – while still struggling with conflict, intimacy, vulnerability, or disconnection behind the scenes… Jenn works with individuals, couples, and families to identify the deeper patterns influencing their relationships. Rather than looking only at communication problems or compatibility, her approach explores how past experiences, attachment, emotional conditioning, and unconscious responses can affect the way people give and receive love, handle conflict, and protect themselves from vulnerability. This conversation explores: ● How unresolved trauma can influence adult relationships. ● Why the same conflicts and emotional patterns often repeat. ● The connection between attachment, vulnerability, and intimacy. ● How independence, control, and high standards can create distance. Jenn is the founder of Pinkerton Psychotherapy and host of the REDHEADREVEAL® Podcast, where she explores relationships, sexuality, intimacy, attachment, and personal growth. Through psychotherapy, relationship intensives, workshops, and education, she helps people better understand how their stories shape their present-day connections and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Most technology is designed to help us move faster, work harder, or optimize performance. But what if it could also help us better understand our emotions, relationships, and inner lives? In this conversation, Lyle Maxson discusses the future of human-centered AI and the idea of technology that understands the person using it at a much deeper level. As the founder and CEO of ABOVE Technologies, Lyle is building a wearable AI platform that uses real-time voice transcription and contextual data to help users reflect on their emotional state, relationships, and patterns of daily life. Tune in to learn about: ● What Lyle means by "Reflective AI." ● How wearable technology could support greater self-awareness. ● Why voice can reveal important context about emotion and mental state. ● How AI may influence the way we understand ourselves and our relationships. ABOVE is Lyle's latest venture in a career spent exploring the boundaries between technology and human experience. His previous work has included immersive entertainment, VR, biofeedback, digital therapeutics, education, and spatial computing. Across those projects, he has focused on a consistent question: how can new technology enhance human connection rather than pull us further away from it? That philosophy has taken him from large-scale immersive experiences to voice-driven biofeedback and AI-powered wellness tools. His work has also been presented on international stages, and his ideas around ethical, human-centered technology have appeared in outlets including BBC and Rolling Stone.

Passing down a business is about far more than ownership, legal documents, or financial planning. It can also raise difficult questions about identity, family dynamics, leadership, legacy, and what life looks like after the transition. In this episode, Elizabeth Ledoux and Andrea Carpenter join us to discuss how family and founder-led businesses can approach succession with greater clarity and intention. Together, they explore why successful transitions depend not only on having the right structure in place, but also on preparing the people involved for what comes next… This conversation explores: ● Why family business transitions often become complicated. ● How owners can prepare emotionally for stepping away. ● The challenges next-generation leaders face when taking over. ● How family relationships can influence succession decisions. Elizabeth founded The Transition Strategists more than 30 years ago after seeing how often business owners reached the point of transition without being fully prepared for life afterward. A former petroleum engineer turned entrepreneur, she developed the Transition Roadmap Developer and co-authored It's a Journey, a guide focused on creating thoughtful, intentional business transitions. Andrea serves as President of The Transition Strategists and brings the perspective of a successor herself. Her work focuses on what she calls Transition 3.0 — a relationship-first approach to helping owners, families, and next-generation leaders navigate succession together. She also created Your Next Gen Friend, a community and podcast exploring identity, wealth, family business, and the unique pressures that can come with inheriting a legacy.
