Matt Hermes

Season 2 of The Return to Authenticity podcast has arrived!  

Season 2 starts off with guest, Matt Hermes.  Matt’s story is incredibly inspiring as he shares how he faced and ultimately overcame challenge after challenge, including financial devastation with the 2008 real estate market crash, loss of his home in a short sale and near homelessness, and the severe chronic illness of two of his three children.  Through it all, Matt had to come to grips and deal with the fact that he had become a functioning alcoholic to cope with stress, and it was time for a change - his marriage, his family and his very life depended on it.

Tune in and hear how he did it!

Josh Painter

RTA Episode 39!

What a great conversation with Josh Painter.  Josh is a chill, California guy with an easy way about him, and an incredible story of rising to the occasion again and again.  He has continually said yes, and then figured out how to make it happen.  It began with an major curve ball at age 17 when he got his high school girlfriend pregnant and then figured out how to make a living to support his soon-to-be new wife and new baby. After burning out in the grinder of a job as a corrections officer, Josh dove into the real estate industry to allow himself the time and opportunity to make more money to support his family.  The real estate crash in 2008 took Josh down, as it did so many others, yet he stayed in it and fought his way back out, overcoming bankruptcy, a divorce and the loss of his home to foreclosure.  Josh rose from that bottom to grow his real estate business to a seven figure valuation and is now the author of the book, "Best Version Ever - Discover the Magic of Becoming Extraordinary" and leads a mastermind event called "Your Best Version Ever - Live".  

Tune in to hear Josh’s inspiring story!

Mike DeSanti

Welcome to Return to Authenticity Episode 38!  

Meet Mike DeSanti.  Mike grew up in a close-knit, Italian family in New Jersey, where he played sports at a high level and life was comfortable, predictable, and stable.  In a few short weeks, life changed dramatically as Mike suffered an injury that put him on the sports sideline indefinitely just as his brother moved away to college and his parents announced they were getting a divorce.  As a teenager, Mike retreated into his own psyche and lived outdoors for a year while studying classic writers and ancient teachings.  

After a chance trip to the American West, he discovered the beauty of Montana and decided to attend the University of Montana regardless of major!   After college he went into business and experienced great success, only to see his health and well-being decline.  He made the decision to pivot and return to his heart and authentic self.  Now a published author of “New Man Emerging”, a 1:1 coach, and men’s retreat leader in the mountains of Montana that stole his heart so many years before.  

Tune in to hear Mike’s awesome story and learn the lessons he’s learned along the way!

Kase Knochenhauer

Here we go with RTA episode 37!

Joining me in the studio today is  Kase Knockenhauer.  You're going to enjoy hearing the colorful and varied background Kase brings to the show.  His willingness to try new things that interest him and being willing to fail, learn, pivot and grow are matched by his belief that some things aren't meant to be and ego must be kept in check to prevent hanging on to ventures that simply don't serve you.  

Kase grew up on the shores of Lake Michigan and initially wanted to become an engineer until he learned how detail oriented engineers had to be!  Real estate came next and after trying the brokerage business he learned that it wasn't his cup of tea - investing and flipping was, so he made a pivot and his real estate business has exploded.  His business ventures have also included purchasing and selling a commercial airline fuselage, a 42’ school bus, an ambulance, a tank, over 14 cubic yards of winter beanies, and over $900k in imported classic Land Rover Defenders. 

Kase shares his willingness to try new things with the idea that making money in business should also be fun, while not making bets so big you can’t sleep at night. 

Tune in to enjoy Kase’s awesome story!

Greg Westgate

Here we go with RTA episode 33! 

Meet Greg Westgate.  Greg grew up playing in the woods around his Michigan home, exploring, being in nature and working on a family farm. He decided at the young age of 13 that he was going to join the military, inspired by an uncle in the US Marine Corps.  The Corps wasn't his destiny, however, and he continued to run into mentors that guided him away from heavy op tempo and deployment branches based on his being married.  He landed in the US Air Force as a mental health counselor and medic - not the military career he dreamed of, and perhaps the exact one he needed and needed him.  He was active duty from 2008-2012. Greg struggled with a lack of purpose in the years following the military where he missed the structure and formality of it. He experienced many low points in the following years as he struggled to find purpose.  

Greg began buying and renovating houses and then flipping them for a profit to make a living, while his wife worked as a nurse and Greg stayed home with their two kids (at the time).  He began learning how to build knives, and dove into the craft, reading all the books he could find on the subject and experimenting in his shop.  Greg describes finding the craft of making knives like drawing breath for the first time, and after years of honing his craft, he learned that he could make money selling knives.  

Greg’s knives have reached the next level, as they have been featured on the “Gear Section” of NYTimes best selling author, Jack Carr’s, “Danger Close” podcast.  He’s been commissioned to build his knives for several high profile military clients and events that will be disclosed in the near future, and he’s busier than ever working in alignment with the talents he’s been blessed with, crafting custom knives at home with his family around him.  

Check out Greg’s Instagram page @westofthe_gate to see pics of his knives and DM him for more info.  

Tune in and hear how Greg navigated through the ups and downs to find his true calling!

Chase shares a transparent story of life's challenges and how he pivoted around those challenges.  After growing up outside of Chicago, Chase joined the Navy with a dream of going to  BUD/S to become a SEAL.  A roadblock prevented that from happening, and Chase began planning for life after the Navy, opening a CrossFit gym and becoming a personal fitness coach once his four year commitment to the Navy concluded.

Spencer Mozingo

On today's episode, we sit down with Spencer Mozingo. 

When the terrorist attacks occurred on September 11, 2001, Spencer was in the 9th grade.  Four years later upon graduation, he was entering the US Marine Corps to join the fight in the GWOT.  On his third combat tour, a pressure detonated IED would physically change Spencer forever, and he resolved to approach that change as another step in his lifelong journey of transformation and growth, with plenty of challenge to be overcome along the way.  

Spencer's new mission is another version of service to his family, his community and the community of warriors he walks among.  

This is an episode you're sure to enjoy and be inspired by!

Dr. Michael Norman

Episode 19 is a story that's hard to get your head around.

After graduating medical school and beginning his medical practice in 1992, Dr Michael Norman took a side job practicing medicine at another clinic during his off hours to supplement his family’s income. He had no idea that clinic was actually a front for the Russian mob!

Dr. Norman captures a story seemingly ripped from the pages of a Hollywood script in his book titled: “Unbridled Grace: A True Story About the Power of Choice.”

You'll love his amazing and inspiring story of how he simultaneously faced off against a Russian crime syndicate and the unlimited resources of the US Justice Department!

Tune in and learn how he did it!

Kevin Demmons

Tune in to hear from our guest, Kevin Demmons.

Kevin grew up in Maine, living in a traumatic and often violent household. He stopped living at home with his parents beginning at the age of 8. He continued to overcome the odds; get knocked down and get back up again. Kevin refused to be defined and limited by the tough life he was born into.

Years after further stress and trauma from military tours served in a combat zone, Kevin began to recognize and consider a super power of sorts: The idea of Post Traumatic Growth and how it can propel us forward, rather than be a disorder that pulls us down.

He now brings that message and the tools to overcome to individuals and groups as a motivational speaker and personal development coach.

Be sure to tune in to hear Kevin’s inspiring story!

Jamie Gruber

Meet Jamie Gruber. Jamie was crushing his corporate career in the insurance industry, climbing the corporate ladder for over 20 years, moving his family back and forth across the country in pursuit of the “next rung” on the ladder, and earning a multiple six figure income doing so. Yet despite outward appearances, Jamie was feeling more empty with every step up. Something was amiss. A long solo card ride across the country provided Jamie the silence and time to think that he needed to come to some major conclusions.

Jamie is now a real estate investor, founder of a multi-family real estate networking & investor group, creator of the Emerge and Ascend leadership masterminds and Ambassador and spokesperson for the GoBundance mastermind. He’s a public speaker, a performance coach, and the host of the Tribe of Millionaires podcast. And yes, it’s true, he’s another diehard Buffalo Bills football fan!

Tune in to hear this great conversation with Jamie and hear the wisdom he shares in how he made his bold pivot.

Enjoy!

Kute was destined to take over his iconic father’s hugely successful ministry leading tens of thousands of followers in hundreds of churches across West Africa.

After winning a chance lottery at a green card, Kute shared the news with his father that he would not be taking over his ministry, but instead would pursue his dreams alone in the US. This hero's journey was about to begin!

Kute is now an inspirational speaker and member of the Transformational Leadership Council, a select group of one hundred of the world’s foremost authorities in the personal development industry. He is host of the podcast, “SoulTalk with Kute Blackson” where he shares practical wisdom on how to live your most authentic life, and he is author of the book, “The Magic of Surrender.

Mike grew up in Northern California in a Catholic family as the oldest of 4 boys.

Life changed for Mike when he was a senior in high school and the terrorist attacks on 9/11 happened. He immediately enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and served for 4 years including 2 combat tours. After his military service, Mike found himself struggling with combat stress while trying to find purpose and meaning in the world. He faced a critical decision that would determine if his relationship with his father could be repaired or would be lost forever.

This interview with Kimberly Kesting was a blast! Hear Kimberly’s story of growing up in New England and competing as a scholarship athlete on a collegiate rowing team.

Hear how she set about changing her life’s course and finding her way back to energy, excitement and those “post-row glows”!

Dennis Morolda

An awesome episode chopping it up with Dennis Morolda, a great leader and role model committed to building young men and providing them the tools to grow and thrive.   Growing up in New Jersey, Dennis faced bullying and trauma that shaped his childhood and early career decisions. He went to college where he pursued a degree in education and and quickly moved from the classroom to the administration side of education.

This experience gave him great insight into what was lacking in the approach to building up strong young men and Dennis built his own program he called Building Men to fill the gap.  Despite the impact it was having, the administration told him to shut it down and focus on standardized test scores.  Something had to give and Dennis decided to leave the comforts of a high paying job, benefits and a retirement plan to pursue  his hero's journey of bringing his program to the world. Building Men has become a podcast, as well as 1:1 and 1:many coaching  programs where Dennis and his brother Anthony are focused on helping men become the most extraordinary version of themselves mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically.  

It hasn't been easy and Dennis has battled through various setbacks in pivoting toward his authentic self and his passion and commitment for making a true difference in the lives of others.  You'll be amazed and inspired when you hear his awesome story!

As an adult, he spent 13 years as a police officer with the Toronto PD until he felt the job was consuming him and feeding aspects of his life that were not sustainable. He had to consider a courageous move into uncharted water and an inspiring new life of service.

This is an episode you’ll want to be buckled up for.

Enjoy!

Rick Alexander

Rick Alexander was in the Navy for 12 years, serving in special operations the entire time as a special operations combat medic and BUD/S instructor. He'd reached the goals he'd set for himself to be among a small group Navy's most elite special operators.

Still, the voice inside him was nudging him that there was more. He was hearing a call to new adventures outside the Navy - something that would require a bold leap into the unknown. Hear Rick's story of making that leap, where he is now an author, speaker, personal development coach, and PhD candidate studying the intersection of mythology, psychology, and spirituality in the human quest to find meaning.

Rick is also an avid endurance athlete having run over 200 miles in body armor in one punishing event, among many other ultra-marathon suffer-fests he's completed. And he still reserves the right to drop punishment on you as the Chief Growth Operator for The Special Forces Experience (thespecialforcesexperience.com), a multi-day, post-traumatic growth experience for men that takes place in Northern Ontario, Canada and the Pacific NW, USA.

Rick hosts a podcast called A Thousand Names for God that can be found on Spotify, iTunes and more.

His books "Burn Your Couch" and "Ambitious Heroes and Heartache", his lecture series and other content can be found on his website: https://rickalexander.com.
