Matt Gagnon is a rule-breaking mindset coach with a mission statement to, “Live With a Courageous Heart.” The TEDx keynote speaker is a bulletproof optimist, and is our latest guest on American Real.
Matt quickly dives into his story and his work, discussing different levels of transformation, saying, “I am always in a state of transformation. Transformation is growth.” Matt’s father was his best friend, and after his death, Matt sought out friends that aligned with his values, especially strong male friends. Many lessons came out of that experience, including there is no perfect moment to take a leap of faith in yourself.
The conversation flowed into his struggle with Addison’s disease and narcolepsy, overcoming adversity, and hitting rock bottom. Matt discussed the joy in generosity, the ability to receive, as well as his GoFundMe campaign. In addition, he touches on what he refers to as his five key supply lines; sleep, eating healthy, fitness, family/community, and prayer.
We also cover:
- Matt’s career in retail leadership. His developing and training of great talent.
- Serving people. Unhealthy serving (trying to rescue vs. be a servant-leader).
- When are you going to show up bigger in life?
- The purpose behind serving. Is it because you feel needed, or, is it because it’s driven by purpose?
- Our opportunity to create, influence or destroy our own paths.
- Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey - will you answer the call?
- Wanting to be rescued was the most difficult event he had to overcome.
- Matt’s typical day.
- Matt contribution to the book, Coach Wisdom, available on Amazon.
- Music. “Every life needs a soundtrack.”
- Matt’s passion of vinyl records.
- Embracing singing.
- Matt’s call to his 20-year-old self.
- Matt Gagnon’s legacy.

This week, American Real uncovers the meaning of "Kindfulness" as described by this week's guest, Aditya Shahi, who explains that the quickest way to happiness and fulfillment is to perform small acts of kindness. "This idea of being mindful, actually is a step of being more human." In the business world, the idea of mindfulness is being embraced. Aditya provides tools and examples of how to incorporate mindfulness into your daily life and what benefits it provides, while encouraging:
-Reconnecting with old friends.
-Being more mindful and appreciative when talking to family members.
-Value relationships, more than you value your ego.
-If there is conflict, take a step back, and don't be reactive in the moment.
In addition, Aditya discusses a new app called Black Lotus that helps people form new habits and perform random acts of kindness: https://iamblacklotus.com/

This week on American Real our guest is John Solak. John and I sat down for a two hour interview that we decided to split into two parts. In Part 1, John describes himself as a product of the 60’s and how as a young man he became interested in Urban Renewal, which was created at the time by MIT. He says this was the time period when the United States wanted to change the inner cities by introducing highways and “busting up” ethnic neighborhoods for political gain. He speaks about his activism and the importance of having colorful figures as leaders, describing many of them over the generations.
In addition, John expresses his opinion on a number of topics including the mob, big business, immigration, health care, government, creativity, the elite and much more. By the end of Part 1, John opens up about why his activism is important in order to hold those in power accountable, and says that he and others would be out of business if there was a track record of success.

If you’re not familiar with Evan Carmichael, he is out to solve the world’s biggest problem; getting people to #Believe in themselves. This is our second interview with Evan who believes in entrepreneurs and has dedicated his entire career to serving them. He has a hit YouTube channel, does a 3-month inspirational tour across 22 cities in America, and is intentional and mythical about his entire brand.
Evan says, “You’re the BEST in the world… at something. But chances are it’s not what your parents want you to do. It’s not what you went to school for.”
Evan and I discuss his Top 10 Rules, his definition of goals, the pillow test and much, much more. He’s also getting ready to launch his latest book, Built To Serve, and discusses some of the content in our interview.
And speaking of books, I am on a mission to help people find #Conviction within themselves by writing their very own book. If you’ve thought about writing a bestseller, but need some accountability and a boost getting started, I want to help. Join me and Andre Haykal, Jr. for an interactive incubator course to birth your own book. Don’t let another year slip by. Check out the link in the show notes for more details.

EPISODE #125 | CONGRESS IS CALLING | GEORGE PHILLIPS
Welcome to episode 125 of American Real, and the final interview of 2019. It’s been an amazing year, and I sincerely thank you for your support.
On this week’s show, we bring you George Phillips, educator, historian and a 2020 candidate for US Congress. George challenged my listening skills as his knowledge of American history, and his insight on current events and issues are vast and wide. This is not George’s first run at US Congress, but he explains why he feels he’s the right person for the job, and why now may just be his time. In addition to politics, we discussed George’s work for the Jack Kemp Foundation, Reclaim New York and his family’s working class roots. Much of this episode feels as if George brings us directly into a history book.
And speaking of books, have you thought about writing your own book to express your passion and grow your authority? Join me and Andre Haykal Jr. for an interactive incubator course to birth your own book. Check out the link in the show notes below for details.

EPISODE #124 | FROM THE WHEELCHAIR TO THE NFL
Welcome to episode 124 of American Real, where this week we bring you the inspirational story of Leroy Collins.
Leroy says, “In life, you are going to face many challenges. Challenges that are going to to make you want to give up. Challenges that are even going to question your existence. We must remember challenges are supposed to make us stronger, make us wiser.”
In 1982, at the age of six, while playing outdoors with his younger brother, Ernie and his cousins, the unthinkable happened. Ernie ran into the street and Leroy tried to stop him from being hit by a U-Haul style truck, but it was too late. Ernie was hit first and then Leroy. The impact was hard and direct, as Leroy was tossed into the air before being run over by the truck which dragged him for a block and a half. The tragic story and Leroy’s survival is nothing less than a miracle, and it’s all documented in his newly released book, The Running Back: True Story From The Wheelchair To The NFL.
And speaking of books, have you thought about writing your very own best seller? If you have, but don’t know how to get started I want to help. Join me and Andre Haykal Jr stating January 1, 2020 for an interactive incubator course to birth your own book. Check out the link below for details.
