  • Mistakes are universal, but so are comebacks w/ Emily O Brien
    Jan 5 2023

    Former Convict, current social entrepreneur and founder of Come Back Snacks. 

    After serving a four-year sentence for drug smuggling, Emily O'Brien left prison with more than a kernel of an idea.

    While incarcerated Emily quickly noticed sharing food brought people together, helped people heal and share their stories. 
     
    Using humour, quality ingredients, and flavours inspired by the very ones made inside prison, Comeback Snacks attempts to remove stigmas associated with having a conviction. 
    The company gives prior offenders the opportunity to gain confidence in moving on and moving away from reoffending.

    In this episode of Break Things, Emily takes us through the myriad of hurdles she has had to cross in her fight for redemption.

  • What is Masculinity w/ Eliot
    Dec 15 2022
    Eliot Marshall is a prolific competitor as a professional mixed martial artist (MMA) and a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Amal Easton. Coming through the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu belt system, Eliot became the first American to earn IBJJF Pan American titles as a blue, purple, and brown belt.


    While climbing the ranks of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Eliot entered the world of mixed martial arts in 2006, eventually competing in TUF and then signing with the UFC, the most prestigious MMA promotion in the world. In 2011, after a few ups and downs with his MMA career, Marshall decided to hang up his gloves and open training centers across the mile-high city of Denver, Colorado, formally named Easton Training Center along with his coach Amal Easton.


    It wasn’t long before Marshall went on to further success as an entrepreneur, Podcast host, and world-class speaker, trainer, and author. He teaches industry leaders, teams, and individuals how to outsmart, outlast, and outperform their competition and achieve record-breaking success.

    In this episode, Eliot shares his own misconception of masculinity that led him on a journey to find his power as a fighter, father, and husband and redefining masculinity through love and boundaries.
