In 2004, Michael Sandler undertook a 5000 mile, 40 day, solo, unsupported bike ride to raise awareness around learning disabilities. In this candid, heart-warming interview, find out how to find the strength to continue when the going gets tough in life. Jessica Lee here your mysteriously absent co-host, who’s actually here today and Michael’s typically loving wife. Don’t worry, Michael’s not on holiday, he’s right here on the line with me, but today we’ve planned a special treat for you. And today I’ll be turning the tables on Michael and interviewing him as a guest on Inspire Nation. You might know Michael sandler as the uber positive host of inspire nation. You might think that he was born this way, but truthfully speaking, though he did came into this world with some admirable traits, he had to work pretty hard at becoming the man I so admire today. Now as Michael’s wife, you might think that I’ve heard his stories a million times by now – it’s true I have, but amazingly I’ve never tired of hearing them.

Today we have a very authentic and heart-felt guest, I’d call him a bridge, between languages, cultures and ancient wisdom and the modern world. He’s a master, a student of the Toltec tradition, perhaps you could even call him a warrior, though not in the traditional terms. And he’s a Nagwal, but I’ll him share about that. His name is don Miguel Ruiz Jr. Don Miguel Ruiz JR, is the author of two very special books, The Five Levels of Attachment: Toltec Wisdom for the Modern World, and Living a Life of Awareness, Toltec Wisdom for the Modern World. You may be familiar with his father, who’s written some of the most beautiful spiritual books such as The Four agreements: A guide to Personal Freedom.   At the age of 14, don Miguel Ruiz Jr. apprenticed to his father don Miguel Sr. and his grandmother, a faith healer, Madre Sarita. From that early age, he was called upon to translate Madre Sarita's prayers, lectures and workshops from Spanish into English. In this way, through constant repetition and review, he lear

Today we have two very harmonic guests Dr. Eben Alexander and Karen Knewell, who will be talking with us about frequency, healing, and acoustic meditation. ---Dr. Eben Alexander, Best-Selling Author of Proof of Heaven and as seen on Oprah!--- I’ve been extremely intrigued by the power of sound and meditation to help us train the mind and to heal. Not to geek out too much, but I’ve been fascinated by how different sounds make us feel better, relax, or increase our focus, whether that’s Tibetan singing bowls, chants, particularly Om, or binaural or warbling sounds. Today we’ll talk about all of these and how sound can be a gateway for greater health, for empowerment, focus (and attention) and in a sense, for transcendence, or at least to quiet our minds. We’ll also be talking about a bonus meditation you can find on our Inspire Nation show, a sacred acoustics sample, offered by Karen Newell and Dr. Eben Alexander. As for our guests, Dr. Eben Alexander (seen on Oprah) has been on our show before, he’s the run-aw

Do you ever feel like you’re not in control of your food, but your food is control of you? You know, when you have that one chip, or one bite of ice cream, or a simple little chicken wing, and suddenly, you’ve plowed through an entire bag, box or pint? And perhaps without even knowing it! If so, then you’re not alone, and do we have the show for you! We’ll be talking with Mark Schaztker, award-winning food journalist and author of The Dorito Effect: The surprising new truth about food and flavor. Today we’re going to talk about an explosion of flavor, and how it’s downright killing us! We’ll talk about why our flavor’s been in charge, what’s happened to our food supply-and why our great-grandma wouldn’t recognize the food of today. We’ll discuss what I call franken-foods or why a chicken’s no longer a chicken, and why no matter how we try, loosing weight almost seems impossible. Most importantly, we’ll discuss what we can do to make simple changes today, right away, that will make huge impacts in our health,

Do you know what do Bill Gates, Charles Schwab, Warren Buffet, Steven Spielberg, Michael Jordan, Julia Roberts, Facebooks Mark Zuckenberg (facebook) Twitter’s Jack Dorsey (twitter), Google’s Larry Page (and maybe even Obama) have in common? They’re all introverts. And believe it or not, so am I, but I’m getting ahead of myself. Today we’ll be talking with a very extroverted introvert. Her name is Beth Beelow, she’s a life coach best know as the Introvert Entrepreneur and is the author of “Insight: Reflections on the Gifts of Being an Introvert” and the forthcoming book “The Introvert Entrepreneur: Amplify Your Strengths and Create Success on Your Own Terms.

Today we’re going to talk about working to live, instead of living to work, and about taking our own life adventure, or what I call Vagabonding 101. I want to know how we can all get into it, what’s the simplest way to start, and if we really need to wait till we have that nest egg, or are retired to be able to afford to travel

Be motivated and inspired with this incredible interview with an ultra-running legend. Lisa Smith-Batchen has done the Badwater Quad.

Hi everyone, this is Michael Sandler, your host on inspire nation. Today we have a very simple, yet powerful inspirational and motivational meditation to help you recharge and feel at your best! This is a meditation I used years ago to literally help save my life. I fell in a hiking accident, shattering my hip and femur, and was stuck in a freezing cold creek, bleeding out internally. I stopped breathing, and had a near-death experience, but that’s something for another day. But when I came back I needed to find a way to keep breathing until rescue crews could get to me. And so I did this meditation which I’d used in different ways for years. Thankfully I was well-versed at it, and it worked. You can do this meditation sitting upright, or laying down. Or even broken on the rocks. Technically, you can do it driving as well, but I rarely recommend meditating and driving together, and I wouldn’t recommend it here. You can do this meditation any time of the day, all you need is a few quiet moments, and a place to

We all know thoughts create things, and that changing our thoughts can change our reality. We've known it since Napoleon Hill and Think and Grow Rich. But while people have written hundreds of books on it over the last 30-50 years, none of them address the core belief...or how to change our beliefs! Kimberly Heart, ultra-successful career coach to Fortune 500 and 100 CEO's, top exec's, and entrepreneurs does just that, diving into our subconscious and how to rewire our hearts our minds, and our lives! This is a talk about changing yourself to attract everything you desire into your life. Whether that’s healthier relationships, a better job, the love of your life, greater happiness, everything all starts on the inside. So she shows you how to recognize and begin the process of change…AND how to do it without needing a cosmic hit with a 2x4. In our society we hold up people who martyr themselves for change, she talks about how kind, gentle, and loving change can be for yourself, and that it doesn’t require pain
