The Truly Amazing Life With Aaron Kennard

Veteran and director of sierra club outdoors Stacy Bare describes what makes life truly amazing to him, and it's mainly about loving community and the outdoors.  "I get to go outside every day and I get to help other people go outside every day and that makes me thrilled to get up every morning." Stacy suffered post traumatic stress, depression, mild traumatic brain-injury after getting out of the military.     This forceful statement from a friend helped him find his way out of the struggles "come climb with me, commit suicide, or go back into the military.  I'm tired of hearing it." Being outdoors with a supporting community helped pull Stacy out of his challenges.  Now he is living in his dream job of being in the outdoors with a community and helping others like he was helped. Here's an insight into why a loving community is so helpful for Stacy: "That's the challenge right?  We're like 'I've got to have this amazing life'.  And it's true, life is really amazing, bu

On this episode I interview my friend Debbie Sarfati Steinbock who is a certified holistic health counselor and I'm looking forward to sharing her stories with you.  It's cool to hear her explain the evolution of learning she experienced as she went through two very extreme and very different physical health challenges. Here's one of the key takeaways from Debbie: "Start somewhere. Every part of our life is all connected. Sometimes we get crippled by the shear volume of the things we may see we need to change in our health, or our relationships, or our career or whatever it is. And one of the things I've learned is if we start with one, its kind of a domino effect, they're all interrelated in one way or another." Listen in on how she came to learn that…her story is intriguing and we can learn a lot.   Some book recommendations from Debbie: Loved Wayne Dyer's: There is a spiritual solution to every problem Kitchen Table Wisdom - Rachael Naomi Renin 

I was so fascinated talking to Michael!  What a joyous soul to be around. I don't think there's anything that could get this happy man down.   You've got to hear his story in this interview!!   His attitude is absolutely inspiring. Talk about going through the ringer...if anyone can show us the way to deal with challenges and setbacks, it is Michael.  He smiles through it all!

Guatemalan Entrepreneur Joaquin Cordero's passion for life is infectious. But he hasn't always been so full of life.  He's had his dark moments, which he shares with us, and what he learned from them. He also shares some hilarious stories (should be horrifying, but the way he shares is just too funny) of getting thousands of bees stinging him while dangling from a rope on a cliff. Listen in!  Joaquin is a joy to talk to and I think this interview will lift your spirits. It will certainly remind you that if you're not taking risks, you're not living.  And being comfortable is WAY overrated and is not what brings happiness. A couple highlights from the episode "Attitude is 10% of what happens and 90% how you decide.  That was a eureka moment for me when I realized that." And sometimes living very uncomfortable and very dark moments in your life, when you get out of them and you look back, it’s a positive thing. He also shared this amazing quote from Janet Rand: RISKS To laugh is to

My guest today is Mateo Tabatabaiy who has a unique and interesting story about his path to a truly amazing life from an unsettled youth, to a passion driving moment that led him on a quest to become Don Juan Demarco, and multiple inspiring moments of enlightenment.   He is young, and he is wise beyond his years.  And his happiness and contentment with life are contagious.   I'm excited to introduce you to him, listen in now as he talks about discovering why he is here...

The circumstances she has faced in her life may sound like a bad country song...but yet through it all she smiles even bigger and finds even greater joy and meaning in life. We would all do well to learn from Ganel-Lyn.    Listen in as she tells of overcoming an autoimmune disease, multiple rounds of chemo, years of struggling to have kids, and that's just the beginning. If you are going through anything hard right now, you need to listen to this conversation.  It will give you a fresh perspective and I believe fill you with hope.
