Mighty Pursuit Podcast

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.  Whether society...

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 announced that he ha...

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 most cl...

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 dangerous if you’re strong. Told ...

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 and watc...

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 than a halluc...

The Body Keeps the Score.

The book was published twelve years ago. And yet here we are — it’s 2026, and it’s still sitting on bestseller lists week after week. Not just in psychology. Across all categories.

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.

Chances are, you’ve encountered it. Maybe you’ve read i...

What you’re about to watch has taken eight years to make. Research began in 2018, as we started studying disciplines that almost never speak to each other.

Today, we’ll walk through eleven separate scientific fields. Collectively, they span 134 years of modern research — though the roots of their findings stretch back thousands of years. Within each field are serious scientists who have u...

Everywhere online, you see the extremes.

On one side is the trad-wife trend, painting a flawless picture of family life: dad works, mom stays home, everything is harmonious. A supposed return to how things “always were.” But that picture was a myth. It never truly existed.

In reaction came the backlash. The rise of the girlboss. Women told their value is measured only in ambition, career, and relentless independence. Another rigid ...

76.4% of Americans are living with at least one chronic disease.

Cancer. Heart disease. Diabetes. Autoimmune disorders. The list goes on. And if you’re living with one of these, you know how devastating it can be — the fatigue, the pain, the emotional toll. Chronic illness reshapes the quality of life in ways most people never see.

What’s hard to ignore is how rapidly this has escalated. Over the last 60 years, chronic disease has ...

Aging women are worthless. That’s the message culture keeps sending.

Of course, no one says it outright. 

That would be too crude. Too impolite. So instead, it’s communicated through all the little social cues — who gets attention, who gets opportunities, who gets centered, and who gets quietly passed over.

And over time, you start to feel it in your own life. The compliments come less often. The interest shifts. The male gaze does...

You know the moment. A conversation starts small, almost harmless. And suddenly it’s spiraling. Your reaction feels bigger than the moment. Your partner’s response feels completely disproportionate. And somewhere in the middle of it, you’re wondering: How did we get here again?

Because this isn’t the first time. You’ve had this fight before — maybe with this partner, maybe with someone else. Different details. Same tension. Differe...

There are a small number of people in the world who could flip a switch tomorrow and affect billions of lives.

They sit at the very top of their fields. The people many of us look at and think, if only I could have a sliver of their success.

And when those people need help, they don’t go further into the spotlight. They go to one individual quietly working behind the scenes.

Which raises a simple question: what does someone at that...

In 1999, the CEOs of America’s 11 largest food companies gathered for a private meeting. Coca-Cola. Kraft. Nabisco. General Mills. Direct competitors, sitting at the same table.

They weren’t there to talk profits or market share. They were there to confront the growing evidence that their products were making people sick — fueling addiction and chronic disease on a scale comparable to cigarettes.

By the end of that meeting, they ma...

Maybe you’ve heard people talk about hearing God’s voice or feeling a higher presence — and your first reaction is to roll your eyes. Or maybe you’ve had a moment like that yourself but never known what to make of it. You’re skeptical, but curious.

The truth is, this topic makes people uncomfortable. It’s loaded with religious baggage and often framed as anti-intellectual. But what if — scientifically — it’s real?

That’s why we sat...

Thousands of voices are telling you how to do modern dating and relationships.

Scroll through your feed and anyone with charisma and a microphone can become a relationship expert. Maybe you’ve grown disillusioned with those voices. You’ve tried to follow the advice, but still struggled in your own relationship — or wondered what, if anything, you can actually trust.

And the opportunity to speak into this moment is massive. Because ...

Penn Badgley has spent most of his life being watched — the star of two of the more successful TV shows in recent history: Gossip Girl and You.

And in these last five years, You became a cultural phenomenon. People fell in love with Joe Goldberg, and before that, Dan Humphrey. But what few knew what was happening in Penn’s real life while all of this was going on.

Behind the scenes, he was going through an existential crisis that f...

You’ll spend roughly a third of your life asleep — more than 200,000 hours in another world. The dream world.

Every night, your body lies still while your mind builds entire realities: places, people, and moments that feel as real as waking life. And yet, most of us forget almost everything we experience there.

Maybe you shrug off dreams as random noise. Maybe they terrify you — the nightmares, the paralysis, the strange symbols th...
