In this episode, we’re joined by Jason Fricka—military veteran, family man, and host of the “Everyday Elevations” podcast. We dive into some real discussions about why being vulnerable isn’t a weakness, but actually a strength.

Jason opens up about his journey of raising a young family and how he’s managed to find the good even in tough times. We also chat about the importance of counting your wins, no matter how small, and how changing your mindset can make all the difference.

We also discuss Jason’s podcast, “Everyday Elevations”, how it started as a way to keep himself accountable, but it’s grown into something that’s helping a lot of other people as well. This is a fantastic conversation with plenty of takeaways. Tune in for some inspiration, actionable steps and some dudes being vulnerable about being vulnerable.

We are back from a short hiatus of recording and publishing consistently and damn it feel good to be back on the show. We needed to take some time away to focus on work, business, family and life to make sure we are always putting out great content for you guys that is valuable and informative.

The podcast is definitely an animal the likes to eat time and energy, luckily we have plenty of energy and aren’t afraid to feed it. This podcast is our creative outlet outside the profession of pharmacy and an opportunity to learn about aspects of health and wellness many may never encounter. We also use it as a resource for anyone looking for a lighthouse and have had great success connecting people dealing with cancer, mental health issues, chronic diseases and other aspects of life many men deal with, so they can feel heard and supported.

While we were gone we found a partner that we feel provides an excellent product in the health and wellness space. Canary is a company that makes gummies that cover niche areas of health. We have fallen in love with their sleep promoting Nighttime Nourisher when has ingredients that promote natural melatonin release and promote relaxation, the Nighttime Nourisher can be a fantastic addition to anyone’s nighttime routine.
