The Risen Fallen Podcast
We ALL fall down, together we rise. Whether you’re going through dark days, or have dealt with them in the past, or perhaps maybe they have impacted someone you love, we have all been impacted by mental health struggles in some way, shape or form. No matter what it is that you are going through, life can and will get better for you. We have all felt that same feeling of being alone in this world, when the lights are all out, and nobody else is awake and all we have is the voice in our head. The feeling that even with our friends, family, coworkers, teammates, bosses, coaches, and peers around us, that we are alone in this fight, and in this world. THAT SPECIFIC FEELING IS WHAT CONNECTS US ALL. We are together alone. Not only will it get “better” but I truly believe you can find the greatness that resides within you, and that you’ll spread it to others as well. I find it interesting to speak with business owners, hard workers, and inspiring people about the challenges they have faced and how they‘ve overcome them. Based out of Vancouver, I find it important to speak about some of the difficult things in life, and to encourage others to feel happier and spread the love!

How do you build self-trust and create lasting change in your life? It begins by keeping promises to yourself, developing daily discipline, and asking a powerful question: “What do I need to give to get what I want?”
In this episode of the Risen Fallen Podcast, we explore how the principle of “equivalent exchange” applies to personal development, mental health, fitness, relationships, career growth, and fin...
Most of life isn’t about getting the thing — it’s about learning how to maintain it.
In this episode of the Risen Fallen Podcast, we talks about why relationships, fitness, mental health, home ownership, work, and personal growth all require constant attention. Getting in shape is one thing. Staying in shape is another. Finding a relationship is one thing. Learnin...
It’s easy to go through a difficult season and start believing that season is who you are.
You’re not just “out of shape.” You’re in a season where your habits have changed. You’re not just “bad with money.” You’re dealing with financial circumstances that can be improved. You’re not permanently stuck, broken, lazy, or incapable just because that’s how life feels ri...
What does it actually mean to be a good father?
In this episode of The Risen Fallen Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Binyamin Rothstein, family physician, father of eight, and author of A Real Man's Guide to Becoming a Terrific Dad, for a conversation about fatherhood, parenting, family, and the responsibility men have to truly show up for their children.
We talk about what children really ne...
Sometimes the hardest part isn’t doing everything — it’s simply showing up.
In this episode of The Risen Fallen Podcast, I talk about why running one block is better than never leaving the couch, why action can create motivation, and how that same idea applies to the people we love.
The people in our lives don’t always need us at our best. They don’t always ne...
Most of life isn’t made up of huge breakthroughs, perfect routines, or life-changing moments — it’s made up of ordinary days.
In this episode of The Risen Fallen Podcast, I talk about why learning to make the boring days your best days can completely change the way you approach your health, mindset, and life.
I also get into my own tendency...
In this episode of The Risen Fallen Podcast, Mark sits down with bestselling author and certified mindfulness instructor Aaron Hendon for a deep conversation about mental health, purpose, and reclaiming control over where we place our attention.
We explore how easily life can become driven by stress, distraction, fear, and outside expectations—and why mindfulness is about far ...
We are more digitally connected than ever, yet more people feel isolated, lonely, and disconnected from real human relationships.
In this episode, I talk about why so many adults no longer have a true community outside of work and home. Whether it is a jiu-jitsu gym, church, art club, running group, sports team, fishing group, or regular gym, we all need somewhere we can consistent...
In this episode of The Risen Fallen Podcast, I talk about what it really means to advocate for yourself in everyday life.
Whether it is asking for better treatment at work, communicating your needs in a relationship, addressing tension in a friendship, or pushing for answers in healthcare, too many people stay silent and expect others to understand what they are feeling.
That silence ofte...
Mike Smith joins me to talk about ADHD, sobriety, addiction recovery, and learning how to adapt when life does not go according to plan.
After recently reaching one year sober, Mike shares what recovery has taught him about discipline, identity, mental health, and facing hardship without falling back into old habits. We also discuss the recovery-focused app he is developing to connect people with helpfu...
In this episode of The Risen Fallen Podcast, I sit down with Corporal Brad Savage, an RCMP officer who speaks openly and honestly about mental health, PTSD, trauma, and the realities that come with serving in law enforcement.
Brad brings a powerful perspective on what it means to carry the weight of the job, the importance of speaking up, and why mental health conversations matter — especially for...
We often think peace will come once life finally calms down — once the pressure lifts, the bills are paid, the relationship is easier, work slows down, or the season changes.
But if peace depends on having no problems, peace will always be temporary.
In this episode, I talk about why peace is not the absence of problems, but the ability to stay grounded in the middle of them. Real ...
In this episode of The Risen Fallen Podcast, I talk about the idea that love and peace are not things we simply find — they are things we build.
We live in a world where everything feels replaceable. Don’t like something? Upgrade it. Order something new. Swipe to the next person. Find a better job. Move to a better house. Chase the next version of life.
But that mindset can slowly train us to treat people, commitments...
In this episode of The Risen Fallen Podcast, I talk about the difference between overthinking and avoidance. Sometimes we convince ourselves we are planning, processing, or waiting for clarity, when really we are avoiding the action we already know we need to take.
I break down how overthinking can become a form of procrastination, why clarity often comes after movement, and how fear disguises itself as wisdom. Whether it’s ...
In this episode, I talk about why words are not violence, and why being offended should not give us permission to lose control of ourselves.
After seeing people react violently to things said online, protests, opinions, and disagreements, I wanted to dig into what it says about us when someone else’s words can pull us so far out of character.
This episode is about emotional discipline, personal responsibility, ego, judgment...
People love to talk about dopamine like it’s the enemy.
Dopamine addiction. Dopamine detox. Cheap dopamine. Instant gratification. Chasing the high.
And while there is truth to all of that, I think we sometimes miss the bigger picture.
Dopamine is not automatically bad. It is your body’s natural reward system. The real issue is not that we like feeling good — it’s what behaviours we are rewarding.
In thi...
In this episode of the Risen Fallen Podcast, I talk about the trap of constantly waiting for a breakthrough.
A lot of us want the perfect plan, the big moment, the emotional shift, the viral post, or the sudden burst of motivation that finally changes everything. But most real growth does not happen that way.
Real change usually happens in the boring, repetitive, quiet work that nobody sees.
It happens when you keep showing up w...
After shoulder surgery, I’ve been working with my physiotherapist on rebuilding my range of motion, strength, and confidence. But during one of our conversations, he said something that hit way deeper than just physical rehab.
He talked about the importance of building confidence in the range of motion I already have before trying to force more. In other words, my nervous system needs to learn tha...
In this episode of the Risen Fallen Podcast, Mark Henriksen talks about what it means to keep moving forward when life breaks down.
Using the analogy of a broken-down vehicle, Mark explores the idea that if it’s got wheels, it can still roll forward — even if you have to push it.
Whether you’re struggling in business, fitness, relationships, addiction, mental health, or ...
Mikail Maillet returns to the Risen Fallen Podcast for a powerful conversation about the mind, presence, purpose, meditation, martial arts philosophy, and personal freedom.
