Why should we put an end to single use plastic water bottles? Rich ‘Raz’ Razgaitis explains! KEY TAKEAWAYS: Facing divorce after 17 years Trying to save marriage and business after 15 years Fighting for life in the hospital YouTubing your way to an Ironman Sobering how quickly things can change Growing up in Ohio It’s never one thing, it’s many things Why kindness and contempt The #1 fear of executives What do you do when you want to restore, but the other person doesn’t want to Keep showing up Why should we all have a lifeverse MEDM (Make every day matter) The 4 buckets of life Letting big goals pull you forward The power of micro-goals Macro-movements are made up fo micro-moments Single use plastic is the new environmental cigarette QUOTE “The downfall of my marriage wasn’t one thing or ten things, it was a thousand things.” - Rich Razgaitis “The one attribute that led to a successful marriage was kindness. The one attribute that led to divorce was contempt.” - Rich “Raz” Razgaitis “Keep showing up to the things that matter in your life.” -Rich Razgaitis “I was trying to save my company and my marriage at the same time and thought I could pull it off.” - Rich Razgaitis PEOPLE MENTIONED Ken Wimberly John Gottman Zack Bush Ryland Engelhart EPISODE RESOURCES Flowater Follow on Twitter, Insta, Facebook The Big Book ABOUT THE GUEST Fueled by his vision to leave a better environment for his children and the next generation, Rich ‘Raz’ Razgaitis is tackling a problem most people don’t even know they have: toxic drinking water. As Co-Founder & CEO of FloWater, the world’s most advanced water refill station and member of the Inc. 500 list, Raz is combining this vision with his 20+ years of leadership & tech experience to deliver a product that keeps 2.38 plastic water bottles from reaching our landfills and oceans every second (130 million to date). With a purpose-driven mission, partners like Google, Airbnb, Vayner Media & Hilton, and $15 million in funding from Bluewater, it’s safe to say they’re just getting started. When Raz isn’t ridding our planet of plastic waste, you’ll find the self-described “water dude” helping prison inmates change their lives by partnering with Defy Ventures, running his way through beautiful Colorado, or filling his most important role yet - dad to his two teenage daughters.

Are you wondering what it's like to watch porn with your partner? Vanessa and Xander Marin explain how to! I’m a fan of sex. So is my wife. But I wish we were more insync. I go to bed early. She goes to bed late. I work during the day when she’s ready to play. Sound familiar? When Tatyana and I are turned on at the exact same moment, it’s fireworks, and it’s also rare. Let me be honest, lately our sex life has been bonkers. It’s been passionate, fun and sexy as hell (this is after 14 years together). In the past decade, there have been many times when I felt “This is probably the best it’ll ever be.” How ignorant of me. To think I knew everything. To think we’d explored the depths of our marriage to it’s fullest extent, to think I had somehow mastered sex. WTF. Boy was I wrong. The last couple years I’ve been learning about things that prove the proves -- I know what I don’t know (I’ve heard about Tantra, but what the hell is it), but mostly, most stuff I don’t know what I don’t know (Wait...what did just say, this is the first time I’m hearing about this!) The latter happens so often, I’m both frustrated by it (because I feel ignorant) and inspired by it (because there’s so much I can do). So...in the spirit of constant and never ending improvement, let’s talk about sex. Let’s talk about it, because when sex is amazing, your marriage is better, and that is at the core of being a great dad to your kids. Happy dad, happy mom, happy kids. So without further ado, here’s a little preview to what’s covered in my chat with the sex expert Vanessa Marin and her husband Xander… Dealing with mismatched sex drives Who’s supposed to initiate? How can we bring adventure into the bedroom? The impact of porn (and how much could be good for you) And lots more… Enjoy the show! And if you dig it, please leave a rating/review -- it means the world to our team, and our guests. QUOTE "Every single couple has mismatched sex drives. There's not a single couple out there where both partners want sex at the same time or way." - Vanessa Marin "There is no such thing as being universally good at sex." - Vanessa Marin PEOPLE MENTIONED Vanessa Marin Xander Marin EPISODE RESOURCES VM Theraphy Insta , Facebook, Twitter ABOUT OUR GUESTS Vanessa is a licensed psychotherapist with bachelor’s degrees in human sexuality and sociology from Brown University, a master’s degree in counseling psychology, and two decades of experience working with thousands of couples. Xander is an ex-consultant who left the corporate world because he was so inspired by Vanessa’s mission to help couples transform their relationships. His practical experience and down-to-earth nature will help set you at ease. Their relationship has been their best teacher, and they feel deeply honored to share the lessons they’ve learned (and continue to learn!) with other couples.

What can we learning about falling on our face in front of others, and how this makes us better dads Developing thick skin How comedy trains you for parenting How to talk openly about family, while protecting their privacy QUOTE “I try to nurture my kids and help them find what they love. I’m not going to force my kid to play baseball if he doesn't want to play baseball.” -Erik Rivera “Communication is key when you’re a parent. I don't remember my father and I having long deep conversations on the couch. So being an example to my kids and continuing that cycle aren't good.” -Erik Rivera PEOPLE MENTIONED Eva Longoria Jay Leno Mal Hall Pee Wee Herman EPISODE RESOURCES ErikRivera.com Follow on Twitter, Insta, Facebook Erik Rivera Super White Ricky & Cricket Chappelle Father’s Day Live ABOUT THE GUEST Writer, comedian, actor and producer ERIK RIVERA isn’t just on his way to becoming the next big name in comedy; he’s also quickly making a name for himself in Hollywood. Not only is the part Puerto Rican/part Guatemalan comic’s comedy special, "Erik Rivera: Super White,” currently streaming on HBO Max, but he also just sold an animated comedy called "Ricky & Cricket" -- about a down on his luck Mexican-American actor, who starts taking control of his life with the help of Cricket, a brash, foul-mouthed guardian angel from the east side of heaven—to Amazon Studios (Erik developed the show with Mr. Iglesias writer-producers Peter Murrieta and Isaac Gonzalez).
