When life throws you lemons, make a honey-sweetened cocktail. That's essentially what Jack Espy did when the pandemic erased his real estate finance job offer right after graduating from USC in 2020. Rather than despairing, Jack asked himself a simple yet profound question: "What if it did work?"

This entrepreneurial spark led Jack to transform his passion for mixology into Spirited Hive, a rapidly growing canned cocktail company that uses honey as its distinctive sweetener. Jack's timing couldn't have been better – he recognized the emerging "better-for-you" category in the beverage alcohol space before it became mainstream, positioning his brand perfectly as consumers increasingly sought quality ingredients even in their alcoholic beverages. Within just a few years, Spirited Hive secured partnerships with major sports teams and expanded across multiple states, becoming the official RTD partner for venues nationwide.

But Jack's vision doesn't stop there. He's now launching Strive, a non-alcoholic functional beverage designed to support health and wellness while providing hydration through a delicious soda alternative. By housing both brands under one parent company, Jack has created an efficient business structure that allows for shared resources while maintaining distinct brand identities targeting different consumer needs. His strategic approach to market entry – focusing initially on Nashville, San Diego, and South Florida before expanding – demonstrates his thoughtful growth mindset.

What makes Jack's story particularly compelling is his authenticity as a founder. In an era when celebrity-backed beverage brands are becoming increasingly common, Jack represents a new wave of founder-led brands built on genuine stories and passion. His journey reminds us that sometimes life's unexpected detours lead to our greatest opportunities – if only we have the courage to ask, "What if it did work?" and take that first step.

What happens when a physician decides healthcare needs a complete overhaul? Dr. Angie Abu-Talib, National Director of Quality and Education for 500 hospitals, has created something extraordinary with WholeMed—a revolutionary approach addressing the fundamental flaws in modern medicine.

The problem with today's healthcare isn't just about hurried appointments or disconnected specialists. As Dr. Angie reveals in this candid conversation, we're trapped in a system that medicates symptoms while ignoring root causes. "I admitted a 35-year-old with 16 medications," she shares, highlighting the unsustainable approach dominating treatment of chronic conditions. Meanwhile, doctors themselves are burning out at alarming rates, creating a healthcare crisis from both sides.

Dr. Angie's eight-week transformation program represents a radical departure from conventional treatment models. Based on neuroplasticity science showing it takes precisely eight weeks to physically restructure the brain, her approach begins with something unexpected—a dopamine detox. By addressing our addiction to constant stimulation (from social media scrolling to nightly wine), patients create the foundation for genuine healing. But what truly sets her method apart is the integration of purpose alongside mind and body healing.

"People think success equals happiness, but it's finding your purpose that leads to happiness and then success," Dr. Angie explains, identifying what she calls "destination addiction"—the false belief that "I'll be happy when..." This insight transforms patients who achieve their physical health goals only to discover they're still unfulfilled. By addressing all three pillars—mind, body, and purpose—WholeMed creates sustainable transformation where conventional medicine has failed.

Ready to experience healthcare that actually heals instead of just managing symptoms? Visit wholemedmethod.com to schedule a 15-minute introductory call and discover how this physician-backed approach could transform your relationship with health forever.

How much would you endure to save your life and your child's? Mary Lyn Hammer takes us on an extraordinary journey through the medical wilderness of Lyme disease, revealing the devastating reality of this widely misunderstood condition.

After being bitten by a tick during a business conference, Mary Lynn spent six and a half years suffering through debilitating symptoms while doctors repeatedly missed her diagnosis. The disease struck during her pregnancy, passing to her unborn daughter and setting them both on a path of chronic illness. From extreme skier to someone who couldn't walk up stairs, Mary Lyn watched her vibrant life fade away despite visiting countless medical professionals.

When finally diagnosed, she faced a treatment ordeal that would challenge the strongest spirit. With a six-figure medical debt accumulating and her daughter showing cognitive challenges, Mary Lyn refused to accept conventional wisdom about chronic Lyme. Her turning point came through discovering the role of biofilms in protecting the bacteria from treatment – a breakthrough that eventually led to complete recovery for both mother and daughter.

The revelation that Lyme disease can be sexually transmitted and passed in utero reveals why entire families often suffer without understanding why. Through years of research and personal experimentation, Mary Lynn developed a comprehensive three-phase protocol that has condensed recovery time from years to just months. Her approach addresses not just the bacterial infection but the complex immune dysfunction and detoxification challenges that make Lyme so difficult to overcome.

Today, Mary Lyn's daughter is 24, a college graduate thriving without limitations. Through her platform Champion for Life and her book "Over My Dead Body," Mary Lynn is bringing hope to countless sufferers who've been told their condition is untreatable or imaginary. If you or someone you love is battling unexplained chronic symptoms, her story might hold the answers you've been seeking.
