Rise Together Podcast

On this final day of June, we’re celebrating this final day of Pride Month with a look back at three of our favorite conversations from trailblazing voices in the LGBTQ community. Amit Paley, the executive director and CEO of The Trevor Project is doing life-saving work leading the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ young people. Rosemary Ketchum made history when she became the first transgender person elected to a public office in West Virginia. Jeffrey Marsh is a non-binary rights activist, speaker, and author who is best known for making inspirational videos that...

Happy Father’s Day! Enjoy this conversation between not only Dave and his father, but also Dave and his children, as they talk about what it means to be a great dad.

Imma keep some healthy space from social for a bit and am bringing it on email. Feels right, and actually a little more personal, tbh. We’re basically one-way pen pals when you follow this link and drop your email here. —> mrdaveh...

This week Dave has a conversation with the hosts of HER BEST DAD EVER, Markay Fairley and Hector Gabriel. They’re two girl dads who know we can’t do this fatherhood thing on our own and want to champion, encourage, and celebrate fellow girl dads to be her best dad ever. They’re building a global community where girl dads can feel seen and supported on their fatherhood journey by having honest conversations, listening with open hearts, and sharing what we’re learning with other girl dads.

A native of Hungary, Dr. Edith Eger was a teenager in 1944 when she and her family were sent to Auschwitz during WWII. Despite overwhelming odds, Edith survived the Holocaust and ultimately came to the US with her husband where she went on to graduate with a Ph.D. from the University of Texas and became an eminent psychologist. Today, she maintains a busy clinical practice and lectures around the world — including amazing interviews with Oprah, Brene Brown, and more. 

Today, we’re fortunate to have her joined by her extraordinary daughter, child psychologist Dr. Marianne Engle, who co-au...

This week’s solo episode finds Dave diving into a conversation about the blessings of not knowing how things are going to turn out. For so many of us, our dreams, relationships or identities take turns we could have never expected, especially when we make big leaps into new spaces. But, in so many cases, it was not knowing how things were going to go that gave us permission to start the journey in the first place. Had insight into how some of our dreams were ultimately destined to die, we would have kept ourselves from fully living to av...

This week's guest on Rise Together is an incredibly inspiring individual. Ryan Blair is a serial entrepreneur and New York Times bestseller, who established his first company at age twenty-one and has since created and actively invested in multiple start-ups. As the CEO of ViSalus, he took the company from start-up to more than $1.6 billion in cumulative sales and was named Ernst & Young's 2012 Entrepreneur of the Year. His first book, Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain, was a number one New York Times bestseller, with the enticing subtitle, “The incredible story of a gang member who became a multimillionaire CE...

This week's guest on Rise Together needs no introduction, but let'd do it. Lisa Bilyeu is cofounder of the billion-dollar company Quest Nutrition and cofounder and President of Impact Theory. She is the host of Women of Impact, a show featuring women who have overcome incredible hardship to achieve massive success. Her mission is to empower all women to become the heroes of their own lives.

This is a super special week on Rise Together because our interviewee is...Dave Hollis!

Today's bonus episode is a continuation of last week's conversation between Heidi and Dave, where the end of their conversation was interrupted by the urgency to get to an airport. This last piece felt important enough to drop it into the feed this week to finish the thought. There's something as humans that ends up happening when we venture into a new space where something in the environment is different than it was before. That self-doubt, the negative voices that live inside of us, start chirping as we get closer to the event. Sometimes outside voices join that chorus...

This week on Rise Together Dave is joined by his partner, fitness and personal development expert and influencer, Heidi Powell! 

Dave reflects on his journey of slowing down, stepping back, and prioritizing himself - the work that was necessary for him to continue taking steps toward becoming a more whole human being - and he and Heidi have a raw, real relationship conversation about the impact that his journey had on her. Don't miss this episode!

This week on Rise Together, Dave is talking about regret. If you are someone who has let regrets overwhelm or even hijack your mental wellbeing, Dave invites you to try and see regret through a different lens. What if a regret was a resource, that if you were able to tap into it, could afford you the learning and the growth and the agency to have a richer, fuller experience.

Rarely will you regret a spontaneous decision to be intentional in spending time with the people that you love. And if there's someone who hasn't reached out...

Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to another episode of Rise Together with Dave Hollis! This week Dave has the one and only Jeff Lerner on the show.

In November 2008 during "the Great Recession" Jeff Lerner found himself at rock bottom. A former professional piano player Jeff found himself nursing an injured wrist, evicted from his apartment, being divorced by his wife, struggling with depression, and owing creditors almost half a million dollars from a failed restaurant venture. 

Fast forward to now and Jeff is a 3 time INC 5000 CEO with over $100 million in sales to his name w...

Here is one from the archives. An amazing and very important conversation with Jeffrey Marsh.

Ladies, Gentleman and Non-Binary folks, today we have a pretty special episode of Rise Together. Dave has a thoughtful, enlightening and informative discussion with non-binary activist, author and social media superstar, Jeffrey Marsh. They talk about how as humans, there is so much more that unites us rather than divides us and how they have dedicated their lives to stopping people from drowning in self hatred, and to instead accept all parts of themselves and understand that there is nothing wrong with...

If you’re struggling with mental health or substances and need help, I hope there’s something in this that gives you the courage to ask for it. Getting help has been one of the most incredible experiences of my entire life, and has transformed any shame I’d carried into incredible power. I found an incredible resource in CAST Centers and my friend Coach Mike Bayer. He’s an incredible support and has an amazing team at castcenters.com (not a freaking ad) ready to help you take a step towards freedom. If not him and his team, please, I...

Have you ever been in a season where there are more questions than answers? Us too. Today Dave comes to you from his patio of peace talking about this period in his life that looks exactly like that, and how he is working through it, reconnecting with himself and his purpose and putting effort into the things that ground him and bring him joy. If you're in a period of questions, hopefully this episode of Rise Together will give you some inspiration of how to keep working through it.

We wanted to start out on this new journey by having an open, honest, forgiving, uncomfortable, but above all hopeful conversation about race. In order to do that, and without centering ourselves in the narrative, we asked Dr. Ed Barron, a Diversity and Leadership consultant and Chair of the department of Leadership and Organizational Psychology at Azusa Pacific University, to appear on the show, which he graciously accepted. In this episode we get into it, from the way white supremacy robs all of...

Last week, Built Through Courage was released and it is among the proudest professional achievements of my life. I wrote this book to help you understand that you were placed here for a specific purpose, but that unlocking that purpose is something that takes an abundance of courage. Beyond courage, it also requires having a candid, honest handle on where you are and a very clear vision of where you’re going so that you can practically understand what it’s going to take to get there. You can buy the book today anywhere books are sold, and if you...
