What if the systems that shape our lives were built and governed by the people who actually use them?

In this episode of My Life Now, we talk with Rhett Mikols about Humanity Interface, a developing platform designed to connect multiple sectors into a people-driven ecosystem.

The vision behind Humanity Interface is to empower individuals, reduce manipulation in modern systems, and create tools that help communities collaborate around real-world solutions.

In this conversation we discuss:

• The problem Humanity Interface is trying to solve

• What a “We The People ecosystem” actually means

• How technology can empower individuals instead of controlling them

• The challenges of building a new kind of platform

• How people can get involved and support the project

When doctors said, “There’s nothing more we can do,” LeAnn Wheeler refused to accept that as the final verdict.

After multiple procedures, a failed bypass, and being labeled a “no-option” cardiac patient, LeAnn discovered Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) — a non-invasive, FDA-approved, Medicare-covered therapy that has existed for decades but remains largely unknown in the United States.

In this powerful conversation, we discuss:

• What it feels like to be told you’re out of options
• The science behind angiogenesis and how the body can grow new blood vessels
• Lipoprotein(a) and the hidden genetic risk most patients are never tested for
• Why EECP is widely used internationally but underutilized in America
• What patients need to know if they’re searching for real answers

LeAnn now works to bring awareness and access to EECP through Thrive ECP, helping others avoid the devastating moment she experienced.
