Mighty Pursuit Podcast

Mighty Pursuit helps you take your life back in a world making it harder to live well. The podcast explores what that means across the full human experience — mind, body, and spirit. Through long-form conversations with leading scientists, doctors, spiritual thinkers, authors, public figures, culture-shapers, and guests with powerful stories, we make sense of the forces of modern life and the deeper questions humans have always carried. We approach each topic through a mix of science, spirituality, history, and lived experience — because living well is too complex for one lens, one expert, one ideology, or one take.

Exercise is one of the few things nearly everyone agrees we should do. And yet, most people still hate or dislike doing it.

We usually interpret that resistance as a personal failure. If you do not want to wake up early, drive to a gym, and lift heavy objects under bright lights, you must be lazy, undisciplined, or insufficiently committed to your health.

Dr. Daniel Lieberman believes we have the problem completely backward.

Something strange happens in the weeks before death.

Patients often begin seeing loved ones who have already died. They say someone is in the room. They describe being visited. And again and again, they repeat some version of the same phrase:

“I’m going home.”

This is not just anecdotal. In one Hospice Buffalo study, 88.1% of dying patients reported a deathbed vision. That finding echoes research from nearly fifty...

141 million.

That’s how many people have watched an extraordinary story unfold in Utah over the last six months.

Two friends, Chandler and Josh, met a homeless man named Trevor. Then they did something almost no one else would do: they invited him to live in their home. A home without locks on the bedroom doors.

When we first came across the story, we had a lot of questions. In an age where almost everything is documented onl...

We’re living through a strange reversal.

Ten years ago, the body positivity movement was everywhere. The message was simple: your appearance is not the center of who you are. Stop objectifying women. Stop treating beauty as their greatest value. Celebrate bodies instead of ranking them.

And yet, somehow, the conversation has completely flipped.

Beauty is no longer just something to possess. It has become something to leverage...

Something massive has changed.

Over the last two decades, billions of people stopped praying.

The numbers reflect it from every angle. Religious affiliation has fallen. Daily prayer has declined. And for the first time in recent history, an entire generation is coming of age without inheriting a ritual human beings have carried across cultures for thousands of years.

This episode investigates what happens when one of humanity's old...

On January 18, 2003, Vinney Tolman was found dead in the bathroom of a restaurant.

By the time medics discovered him, he had likely been there for close to an hour. And here's the most interesting part: they placed him in a body bag.

As they were taking him away, a rookie medic decided to check him one more time. Against all odds, Vinney came back to life.

But the real story isn’t just that he died. It’s what he says ha...

We’re living through a boredom epidemic. Sexual boredom, that is.

More women are reporting low sexual desire than ever before. Many Gen Z women are stepping away from sex altogether, and in long-term relationships, the number of women who want frequent sex often declines with each passing year.

If you’re living inside this dynamic, it can be deeply frustrating on both sides. A...

What if the source of your greatest pain is also someone close to you?

A parent. A sibling. A partner. Someone you didn’t just love, but needed.

Maybe the pain was obvious. Yelling. Fear. A house where your body knew something was about to happen before anything even started.

Or maybe it was harder to name. No screaming or violence. Just the suffocating pressure to become who someone else needed you to be. Reading the room an...

Every night, there is something happening inside your body that is either quietly protecting you or quietly working against you.

And the hardest part is that you may not feel the difference right away. You wake up. You go through your day. You might even think you’re fine. But underneath the surface, your brain, immune system, heart, metabolism, and emotional regulation are all being shaped by the quality of your sleep.

Let's get this out of the way: we’re not here to play with your emotions.

If you clicked because you’ve lost someone, we know what this topic carries. And if you clicked because you don’t trust the title, good. A claim this personal should never be accepted at face value.

To be as clear as possible: this episode is not built on religion. Not Christianity, Islam, Hinduism or Buddhis,. Not any holy book. And it&rsqu...

After a full year of being told AI was going to wipe out jobs, the collapse hasn’t happened.

At least not yet.

Unemployment hasn’t spiked. Most people still have their roles. On the surface, the economy looks familiar.

And that creates a strange tension. You’ve heard the warnings. You’ve felt the fear. But now you may be wondering if this is just another cycle of exaggerated tech panic. Maybe AI is like emai...

Think about the last time you felt invisible.

Maybe it was at work. Or in a social setting. Or while you were doing something for someone who barely noticed you were there.

For a lot of people, life starts to feel transactional. You’re treated well when you’re useful. Acknowledged when you’re needed. And quietly overlooked when you’re not. Maybe you’ve had the realization that many of your relationship...

You think you’re in control of your life. But most of the time, your emotions are making the decisions for you. You snap and immediately regret it. You shut down even though you wanted to say more. You feel overwhelmed, defensive, or numb — and don’t fully understand why.

All throughout the day, you have moments where a feeling takes over before you can even think. And over time, those moments add up. The way you ...

In the entire existence of our company, we've never made a public statement about politics.

Not because it wasn't relevant to what we do. We are a company focused on wellbeing — mentally, physically, and spiritually. And the way we engage with politics has a profound impact on all three. 

It shapes whether people live in fear or in hope.  Whether they relate to each other through love or through hate.&...

Everyone knows someone who has been touched by cancer — a parent, a friend, a colleague. Maybe it's even you. And for most of us, the story we've inherited about cancer is this: it's an older person's disease, something that happens to people who didn't take care of themselves, something that — if you do the right things — you can largely avoid.

But that story is fracturing.

In November 2024, James Van Der Beek an...

We're living in the era of sexual freedom or at least, that's the story we were told. Have sex whenever you want, with whoever you want, as much as you want. As long as there's consent, you're fine. That became the new moral baseline, and many of us embraced it. We swiped, experimented and called it empowerment. 

But privately, the results haven't always matched the promise.

If you're a woman, you may have felt that tension mo...

Masculinity has become radioactive.

It’s one of the most polarizing forces in modern culture. Families fracture over it, politics feeds on it and entire online ecosystems monetize it. And no one seems to agree on what it is anymore.

If you’re a woman, you may feel fatigue from patterns that don’t seem to change. And if you’re a man, you may feel disoriented. Pulled between two extremes. Told you’re dan...

Everywhere you turned in 2025, it was the same headline.

AI will replace 50% of jobs. 70% of jobs. White-collar work won’t survive the decade. If not now, then soon.

You were told your industry might disappear. Your skillset might expire. Your role might be automated. Even if you tried to brush it off, it still created a quiet kind of fear. Is my job safe? Is this overblown? Am I about to become irrelevant?

So now you wait an...

For the last sixty years, psychedelics have been in exile. After the cultural fallout of the 1960s, serious research shut down. Funding evaporated, careers were quietly derailed and what had once been a legitimate scientific inquiry was pushed to the margins. 

Labeled reckless, irresponsible, even dangerous.

And most of us inherited that conclusion without ever examining it. Psychedelics were party drugs— nothing more th...

It has become one of the bestselling books of the modern era. And it didn’t just contribute to the trauma conversation — it defined how an entire generation understands it.
