CEO of Public Sq. Michael Seifert joins us on this episode of Brace4Impact to discuss his ever expanding business, which seeks to help consumers find companies whose mission statements line up with their personal beliefs. 

As more consumers have been forced into dealing with monopolies like Amazon, Uber, major streaming services, banks and other necessities, PublicSq in unique, in that it shows which companies still stand by certain values. 

It also gives citizens an alternative to corporations that rake in massive profits and invest them into highly politicized or WOKE projects with poor financial return. 

Using the recent collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and its Woke investing that helped bring it to its knees as an example, Michael explains how people can reverse gears and take back personal power through their hard earned dollars. 

He discusses the blowback that’s occurred in his life since he launched the company, his continued disruption of the current marketplace where he thinks the future of American commerce is headed from here. 

It was educational, futuristic, hopeful, but most importantly -- it’s an innovative idea that is much needed in the United States today.

Author, journalist, writer and my former colleague at Fox News Hollie McKay joins us on this episode of Brace4Impact, to discuss potential fixes and accountability for the opioid and Fentanyl crisis, her experiences reporting abroad for many years, and how the personal story of just one person can change the world. 

Hollie, who is now an independent journalist, has reported from Afghanistan, Ukraine, parts of Europe and other locations abroad, to tell the stories of downtrodden people who’ve been trampled by tyranny, yet who still found a way to recover some semblance of normalcy and happiness in their lives. 

She also discusses why people are leaving bigger media companies and how these organizations may soon become dinosaurs, as internet podcasting and online posting becomes king. 

She genuinely cares about making life better for those who have suffered, by telling their stories in a compelling and honest way to inspire others all over the world. Truly, one of the best in the business and a great ally to have in your corner when you’re facing insurmountable odds. 

We fit so much info into just a half hour of talking and she delivered her thoughts completely unvarnished. Something that can’t be said for many in this business. 

I recommend keeping an eye on her work because no matter where she is reporting from, or who she is doing it for -- her stories always seemed to stand head and shoulders above the rest, reminding me of a simpler time in media that we badly need to get back to. 

Enjoy and always remember what one can do when they are simply armed with the power of belief.

Tyler Todt is a life coach, former professional poker player and banker, father, fitness guru and author who is one of the most positive voices on social media today. 

He has found a method to bounce back from addiction to raise his biological and adopted children with walks out in the sun, minimal sugar, and real life interactions which are seeming to fade from the world today. 

Ty goes into what people can do to help their depression, their personal health, their mental well-being, while also sharing the secrets of his success -- as he is now posting daily photos of his wife and family living life to the fullest. 

We also discuss what motivated him to turn his life around, what parts of his faith played a role in his comeback, and how just because you’ve hit bottom, doesn’t mean it is the end. In Tyler’s case, and in the case of millions of others, it’s only the beginning. 

If you’re looking for an example of hope and perseverance, look no further. You have arrived.
