    Season 6 Episode #1 Mitch Weisburgh is coming from Larchmont, New York (inform, inspire, & transform)

    You can find Mitch via his website https://www.mindshiftingwithmitch.com

    About our guest: For over four decades, Mitch has been at the intersection of education, technology, and learning transformation, helping individuals, educators, and organizations rethink how we learn, teach, and grow.

    Mitch is the creator of the Mind Shifting Method — a neuroscience-backed system helping high-achievers, coaches, and transformational leaders move beyond mindset alone to rewire their emotional operating systems for sustainable resilience, clarity, and self-trust. Mitch works at the root level, so resilience, creativity, and powerful leadership become automatic, not exhausting. When individuals stop fighting their own brain, growth stops feeling like survival — and starts feeling like freedom.

    Mitch has authored several books with his most recent release this past November - Conflict and Collaboration. A review of Mitch’s book said the following – “Reading this book is like immersing yourself in a practical and deeply human guide on how to transform conflicts into opportunities for growth and collaboration. It’s a work that challenges us to rethink our reactions and always seek the constructive side of human encounters and disagreements.”

    Mitch, thanks for sharing your many gifts with people all over the world, thanks for continuing to challenge yourself to learn, grow and teach. Thanks for being our guest on Life’s Essential Ingredients – Welcome BACK to the Show!

    TOTD – “You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible. “

  • Season 5 Episode #26 Dr. Fawad Mian is Caring for Others on Their Personal Life Journey!
    Dec 17 2025

    Send us a text

    C4 Leaders – the ONLY nonprofit to utilize the pizza making process to create space for our companions to be seen, heard, and loved. We work with businesses, sports teams, hospitals, churches…anyone looking to RISE TOGETHER. We also write children’s books and use the most amazing handmade, hand-tossed, sourdough pizza to bring out the best in each other. Please check out c4leaders.org to support our important work.

    Season 5 Episode #26 Dr. Fawad Mian is coming from Denville, New Jersey (inform, inspire, & transform)

    You can find Dr. Mian via his website prolohealing.com or advocareneurowellnessmd.com

    About our guest: Dr. Mian is not just a physician—he is someone who’s lived the very pain he now helps others overcome. Dr. Mian is a board-certified neurologist and regenerative medicine specialist, working with active adults 55+ who are tired of being told that pills, surgery, or “just living with it” are their only options.

    After years of dealing with chronic pain and facing a future of invasive procedures, he chose a different path—and discovered what traditional medicine often misses: that the body can heal, when given the right tools and support. Dr. Mian’s expertise is in helping high-performing individuals reclaim their strength, mobility, and freedom through precision diagnostics, regenerative therapies like PRP and stem cells, and custom movement protocols.

    Dr. Mian’s approach is deeply personal, because he knows what it’s like to be dismissed, misdiagnosed, and stuck. That’s why he treats the whole person—not just the symptom—and guides his patients with the same care he’d offer his own family.

    One motto at Dr. Mian’s clinic is, we don’t just mask pain—we resolve it. Because healing isn’t a hope. It’s a plan.

    Dr. Mian, thanks for sharing your many gifts and talents with people all over the world, thank you for seeking alternatives that help people who live with chronic pain, thank you for having the courage to write your book (Getting to Pain Free…#1 best seller on Amazon) and thanks for being our guest on Life’s Essential Ingredients, welcome to the show.

    TOTD – At the end of life, most of us will find that we have felt most filled up by the challenges and successful struggles for mastery, creativity, and full expression of our dharma in the world. Fulfillment happens not in retreat from the world, but in advance – and profound engagement.” Stephen Cope
