David Steingard, CEO and Co-Founder of Laughing Man Coffee and the Laughing Man Foundation. Today’s conversation is all about the expansion of LM Studios. Trace talks with David about the expansion, the why behind it, “ALL BE HAPPY” as an ethos, the deeper root of why us humans struggle to connect like we use to and perhaps how the studio, through telling stories can bridge that gap.

A conversation about ego, entrepreneurship, life pursuits, holding ideas and swinging for the fences. A real conversation about business, friendship and not always getting it right but putting your best foot forward will never leave you regretful.

Today on the pod, is Mr Jules Horn. Athlete, model and breath coach.

Jules was famously tapped by none other than Karl Lagerfeld himself as one of Chanel’s leading men and has shot for Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, countless brands, ads, covers and was mentored by the ever prolific Brue Webber, one of the worlds most respected photographers.

Jules is un unassuming kind of guy, an observer, solftly spoken thinker. Trace and Jules talk ego, finding value, the constant internal re-evaluation of things in his life, relationships, how we treat our body, family and friends, and how we approach work.

A lot of this conversation is more about the man not the model and the strugle, plus the truths and revelations along tyhe way that have shaped him, from faith to his fiance. With over 184k instgram followers he isn’t shy about showing himself both physically and mentally but the heartbeat of the guy to is live sincerly and to help others.

Enjoy the conversation with Jules Horn

Fabio Kotinda returns to the podcast to talk about minimalism. We open the discussion up around our reactions to life occurrences, friendships and relationships, how we treat others, journaling, healthy boundaries with people, practicing compassion for others but also for ourselves. We talk about our direction in life and where we focus our attention. It's one of those episodes that are fun and relatable in some way or another.
