Have you ever experienced anxiety or depression? ...Yeah, we have, too.

*Startling statistics show a recent surge in mental health disease, particularly in younger populations. According to the CDC, Suicide is now...
- The #1 leading cause of death for 14 to 15 year olds.
- The #2 leading cause of death in  15 to 19 year olds, and...
- As of 2021, the #2 leading cause of death in 20 to 34 year olds.

Deana Cook is a Nurse Practitioner (MSN, ANP-BC) with over 20 years experience in the medical field and, more recently, has shifted her professional focus from oncology to health promotion and disease prevention. She joins Kristine and Ryan in this episode to discuss her creative projects that have opened up the conversation about mental health and physical wellness, among many other topics.

In 2022, Deana wrote and published a groundbreaking children's book about anxiety and mental health, using her two famous & adorable French Bulldogs as main characters. Her first book, "Why is Ruby Barking" poignantly teaches kids (and adults) the importance of mental health awareness, self-love, and social support. Her second book, "We Want to Keep Playing," educates kids about how to take care of their physical health and well-being during cold/flu season.

Topics Discussed:
- All about the pups, Bella & Ruby, of course. :)
- Mental health challenges facing children, adolescents & adults alike.
- How kids are using Deana's books to open up about their mental health.
- How diet is a sneaky instigator of anxiety, along with ways to cope.
- The surprising new research around gut health & its links to mental health disease.
- The spiritual importance of facing our patterns & becoming conscious.
- And much more!

French Bulldogs have become the most popular dog breed in the US, bumping the Labrador Retriever out of the #1 slot for the first time in 31 years. While French Bulldogs are adorable and funny, there are also questions about their health.

French bulldogs are one of a kind with their large bat ears and even-keel disposition, it is no wonder they are now the most popular dog breed in the US. The Frenchie is playful, alert, adaptable and is irresistibly adorable. The French bulldog resembles a small bulldog with the exception of the breed trademark - their tall, large, erect ears, lovingly called bat ears. They have a large, square head, with heavy wrinkles leading to a short nose. They are known for their compact, muscular bodies underneath a smooth coat. Frenchies are dogs of only a few words, as they are not known to bark very much, but they do make great watch dogs as they are always alert. French bulldogs are known to be great in many family situations as well as with companion animals as they are easy going and usually do not need much exercise. This breed is very popular in cities as they are good apartment dogs as well.

IN THIS EPISODE: 

Chris Huffman was the founder and CEO of Black Gold Group, a $50m services business for big-oil clients in rural Alaska. In 2016 he lost everything when oil crashed, and had to figure out how to rebuild with a wife and three kids. 

Business concepts in this episode: 

• Buy a backpack sprayer and use paid ads to get some mosquito-spray service contracts.
• Flip books from thrift stores and craigslist using Amazon's FBA scanning app. 
• Buy trucks in Oregon and sell them in California. 
• Buy some land (owner finance) and plant Peonies. Sell them to wedding planners. 
• Chris started an email marketing business with Kendall in 2018 (grew to 15 retainer clients and went out of business. Pricing to customers was too low). 
• Airbnb's are great businesses in niche markets for a busy hustler. Consider renting, partnering, or owner financing if you don't have enough cash to go for it. Here's Chris's first airbnb, and here's his latest. 
• Rent a bulldozer and go work as a firefighting contractor for thousands per day.
• Dustin provided broadcasting services (live) for fire updates by the government. It also makes huge day rates. (Find a niche, and charge for it!)
• Breeding French Bull Dogs and selling them as puppies for thousands each. 
• Flipping NFTs.
• And more...
