Shared with permission from The Get Obsessed With Living Your Best Life Podcast - hosted by Julie Lokun.

This week, I’m excited to share a powerful conversation from my podcasting colleague and business bestie, Julie Lokun, host of Get Obsessed With Your Life. Julie sits down with Jim Kwik, the world’s leading brain coach and author of the bestselling book Limitless.

Jim has trained visionaries like Oprah Winfrey, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates — and in this episode, he breaks down how you can learn faster, remember more, and reprogram your brain for success in an increasingly AI-driven world.

Together, Julie and Jim explore:

• Why belief drives behavior — and how upgrading your internal “software” changes your outcomes

• How to cultivate curiosity as a business superpower

• What it really means to blend AI + HI (Human Intelligence)

• Jim’s proven methods for improving memory, learning speed, and cognitive flexibility

• The mindset shift: “Be a thermostat, not a thermometer” — lead the energy, don’t just react to it

This episode is more than a conversation — it’s a roadmap for unlocking your potential in work, creativity, and life.

• Your brain is your greatest business asset — train it intentionally.

• Curiosity fuels adaptability and innovation, especially in the age of AI.

• Your beliefs set the limits of your behavior — change your thoughts, change your outcomes.

• AI should amplify your strengths, not replace them.

• Mental clarity and focus are skills — and you can learn them.

Jim Kwik is a world-renowned brain coach, speaker, and founder of Kwik Learning. Known for his groundbreaking work in accelerated learning, memory, and mindset mastery, he has trained CEOs, celebrities, and global leaders. He is the author of Limitless and the Limitless Expanded Edition.

With the increasing number of huge industrial mills across the country, one of the most essential parts of our food system is also being industrialized: flour. Kevin Morse, CEO and co-founder of Cairnspring Mills, talks about his mission to bring organic flour into the mainstream market and the important role of community-rooted mills in achieving that goal. He joins Corinna Bellizzi to share how regenerative farming practices, healthy farmer relations, and sustainable food manufacturing are keys to producing nutrient-rich flour and bringing value back to local grain communities. Kevin also sheds light on how smallholder farmers are facing their toughest times right now due to the commodity system, trade wars, and the rapid corporate takeover.

About Our Guest: As CEO and co-founder of Cairnspring Mills, Kevin Morse taps into his deep experience as a farmer, economic development leader, conservationist and community builder and applies his can-do spirit to build the mill from the ground up. Kevin recognized that building a new regional grain milling business would bring value back to the community and farmers and was a critical part of revitalizing the local food system. An incorrigible optimist deeply rooted in the beautiful Skagit Valley, Kevin is an outdoorsman, avid fisherman and an Italian who loves to cook and bake.

In this powerful solo episode, Corinna Bellizzi challenges listeners to rethink what it means to protect free speech in a polarized world. Drawing from her own experience as a sustainability scholar at Prescott College and from her earlier conversation with author Tony Brasunas, she connects freedom of inquiry to the future of environmental and social regeneration.

From the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination to the silencing of academic voices, Corinna reveals how fear and division erode the very foundations of democracy — and how mindful speech, empathy, and courage can help restore them. This isn’t just about politics. It’s about the future of care — for people, for the planet, and for truth itself.

About Guest:
Madeleine Hamann is a PhD oceanographer turned regenerative entrepreneur and co-founder of PACHA, a company reimagining bread through sprouted, sourdough buckwheat loaves and tortillas. After years studying climate change, Maddie realized that knowledge alone wouldn’t solve the crisis — action would. She left academia to build a business that nourishes both people and planet, leveraging the healthy-eating market to accelerate farmers’ transitions to regenerative agriculture. Drawing on her diverse background in civil engineering, ocean science, project management, and creative production, Maddie scaled PACHA from a homegrown idea to six-figure monthly revenue in under a year. A self-described “renaissance woman,” she brings systems thinking, adaptability, and a deep sense of purpose to every project she touches. Maddie’s work embodies the belief that true sustainability starts at the intersection of food, community, and ecological regeneration.

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, are so widespread today that it is present in the soil, air, food, and water. Since they are hidden in almost all kinds of everyday products, the PFAS crisis in the United States will only get worse – unless we do something about it. Corinna Bellizzi sits down with Rachel Frazin, an energy and environment reporter at The Hill, who talks about her new book that tackles how these “forever chemicals” are damaging numerous communities across the country. Rachel breaks down the most common diseases caused by PFAS exposure, from birth defects to fertility issues. She also shares how huge waves of changes are being made to address this crisis, and how everyday people can join the movement.

About Guest:

Rachel Frazin covers energy and environment policy for The Hill: that’s everything from climate change to gasoline prices to toxic chemicals to renewable and fossil energy. She is originally from South Florida, and she studied journalism and political science at (the very cold) Northwestern University. Previously, her work has appeared in the Chicago Sun-Times, The Daily Beast, the Tampa Bay Times, and The Palm Beach Post. She is the co-author of the new book "Poisoning the Well: How Forever Chemicals Contaminated America."
