"What we instill in our children will be the foundation upon which they build their future." — Steve Maraboli

Today’s guest, Jen Cohen, has built her entire life around bold action — and she’s here to help you do the same.

Jen is a bestselling author, top-ranked podcast host, and speaker who’s become a force in the worlds of wellness, business, and high performance.

Her viral TEDx talk, The Secret to Getting Anything You Want in Life, has inspired 5M+ viewers.

Her latest book, Bigger, Better, Bolder, is a rallying cry for anyone tired of holding themselves back.

From selling companies for millions to working with brands like Nike and P&G, to sitting down with icons like Tony Robbins, Mark Cuban, and Matthew McConaughey, Jen has made boldness her superpower — and shows others how to unlock theirs.

And yes… she once got a date with Keanu Reeves. You’ll hear the full story in this episode 😉

We’ll also go through:

In this episode:

• The #1 habit to transform your life.

• How to rewire your brain for massive action.

• Why most people stay stuck in a rut.

• How to raise healthy, strong, and resilient kids.
