Coach. Podcaster. COACHCASTER.

A lot of great entrepreneurs get their start with an idea while in college, however not many of them go on to serve our country and run a business at the same time! Nick Bare, former first lieutenant and Airborne Ranger in the US Army, shares with us his biggest struggles of starting and scaling Bare Performance Nutrition and how it has grown into a multiple seven-figure company.

Does this type of experience, the Ever Forward Coach mentorship, sound like what has been missing in terms of getting your BIG idea established? We would love to learn more about your passion and what you want to offer to the world! Please connect with us by emailing Chase directly at chase@everforwardcoach.com to learn more about the mentorship, coaching, and consulting services available through EF Coach.

Have you ever thought about meditation as something only level 5000 yoga instructors or Buddhist monks practice? Today's guest, Ariel Garten (@ariels_musings), is here to enlighten us all about not just best practices when it comes to meditation but also the true science behind what goes in our brain and the myriad of benefits it can bring our everyday lives!

Ariel is a co-founder of Muse: the brain sensing headband. Muse is the award-winning headband that makes meditation easier. During guided exercises, Muse senses your brain activity and sends that information to your phone or tablet, giving you real time audio feedback to help take the guesswork out of meditation.

Ariel studied neuroscience at the University of Toronto and worked in labs at Toronto’s Krembil Neuroscience Centre researching Parkinson’s disease and hippocampal neurogenesis. No mere science nerd, Ariel is a fashion designer whose clothing opened Toronto Fashion Week in '03, and has had her work displayed at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Ariel’s uncommon combination of science and art is integral to the design of Muse and to InteraXon’s unique approach to brain sensing technology. Ariel was also a therapist in private practice.

Ariel and her team are merging technology, neuroscience, art and design. As well as her full time position at Muse, Ariel keynotes around the world on technology, mindfulness and entrepreneurship and supports and advises a variety of start-ups.

Powerhouse connector, real estate industry leader and transformational coach Adam Hergenrother takes a no-holds barred approach to eliminating mediocrity and rebuilding a life of success.

Time to "translate complex concepts into leverage for your goals" with Sam Miller! Sam shares not only how bringing more attention to possible hormone imbalances may be negatively affecting your goals, but also his varying path of jobs and credentials that led him to his current endeavors. Like so many of us, finding our calling, our passion, our niche in the health and fitness industry can be daunting. But once you figure out what you don't want to do it makes finding what you do want much more possible!

Sam's company, Oracle, was created when he was working with one of his clients. The client, Chris, was fond of the term and began using it as a nickname for Sam due to his ability to rely on him to explain complex science, training, and nutritional concepts. This is when Oracle Athletic Science and Oracle Training & Nutrition were conceived.

Find Sam on Instagram @sammillerscience or visit https://www.OracleFitness.com to learn more about his coaching and training programs.

Thom King is not your typical CEO. Part chief executive officer, part personal development wonk, and part biohacker info geek, Thom is a self-confessed serial entrepreneur.

While his favorite book list contains many success-oriented and personal-development classics, the classic definition of achieving success (e.g. make a lot of money) is not what inspires or motivates King. He follows more of a “you aren’t doing well unless you’re also doing some good” line of thinking. King’s company has been built around the simple principle of “do the right thing.”

Founded by King in 1999, Stevia Brands Inc. is one of the largest importers, manufacturers and distributors of clean-label sweetening systems and natural sweeteners.

She can be heard in promo campaigns for TGIT on ABC, Nickelodeon, Fox Sports, Cartoon Network, and The Tennis Channel, plus hundreds of TV and radio spots.
