If you think hunger is just about food, this story will change your mind. Jim Weiss, founder of Real Chemistry, shares how his drive for success masked a deeper hunger that no amount of achievement could satisfy.

Why Listen to This Episode:

  • Learn the difference between productive drive and destructive patterns
  • Discover practical mind-body tools that actually work for busy executives
  • See how addressing physical hunger unlocks deeper emotional work
  • Understand how loss can transform leadership

Meet Jim Weiss: Jim is founder of Real Chemistry, a leading medical marketing agency. After losing his wife Audra to cancer and facing his own health struggles, Jim discovered that sustainable success requires addressing both physical and emotional hunger through practical resilience practices.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why high achievers often seek validation through food, work, and substances
  • How mind-body practices become accessible after physical hunger is managed
  • The connection between personal resilience and professional productivity
  • Why "putting the phone down" is crucial for preventing modern burnout


On the Deeper Hunger: "There's a deeper hunger that doesn't get addressed more directly. Is it hunger for acceptance or love or recognition? So where do you look for it? 'Wow, this tequila tastes really good.'" - Jim Weiss
