How to Rewire Your Brain and Culture with Experiential Neuroscience | Ep 41 | Fountain of Vitality

August 13, 2023. Thayne Martin had a seizure mid-swim and sank to the bottom of his pool. He woke up alive at the bottom, and the bitter, angry version of him did not come back up with him. Twenty plus years of professional therapy had helped him talk about the damage. It had not rewritten it. What finally did was a $100 bill handed to a stranger named Carla at a Carl's Jr. counter, and the wave of love it set off between his heart and his brain the moment he let it go.

August 13, 2023. Thayne Martin had a seizure mid-swim and sank to the bottom of his pool. He woke up alive at the bottom, and the bitter, angry version of him did not come back up with him. Twenty plus years of professional therapy had helped him talk about the damage. It had not rewritten it. What finally did was a $100 bill handed to a stranger named Carla at a Carl's Jr. counter, and the wave of love it set off between his heart and his brain the moment he let it go.

In this episode of Fountain of Vitality, host LaMont Leavitt sits down with Thayne Martin, CEO and Founder of It's Pure Love, to unpack the experiential neuroscience method Thayne built after that near-death experience reset his life. Thayne explains why talk therapy stops short of healing, how gratitude shuts down the amygdala in real time, and the five psychological techniques that rewrite the emotional operating system of individuals and organizations. He also walks through the AI culture diagnostic behind his work, a model reading 1,200 NLP signals across a company's communication to surface burnout, psychological safety, and executive capacity before any survey would. If you have ever wondered why talking about your patterns has not changed them, or why your company's culture survey keeps saying things are fine when they are not, this conversation lays out a different path. One that updates the body, not just the mind.

The Adaptive Advantage: Leading Through Personal and Professional Shifts | Ep 52 | Fountain of Vitality

Shelli Netko was on a family vacation at Disneyland when her husband had a sudden heart attack and died in front of her, leaving her to raise five children alone. She calls what came next power grieving, thirty minutes in a closet to fall apart, then back out to keep the family running. Nineteen years later, that same discipline built a coaching practice, a publishing house, and a philosophy for surviving whatever blindsides a life without warning. In this episode of Fountain of Vitality, host LaMont Leavitt sits down with Shelli Netko, Founder of Heart-to-Heart Collective Publishing, to unpack the power grieving method she built after her husband's death, why leaders quietly let their health and relationships slide while chasing growth, and how trusting intuition over an endless pro and con list can point a person toward the next right move.

Cancer Survivor Tips on Pushing Positively Through Life's journey | Ep 18 | Fountain of Vitality

What happens when cancer strikes three times before age 50 and you survive every encounter? Michael Hanahan, CRO of innoviHealth, reveals how paper route entrepreneurship earning 25 cents daily evolved into advertising career building campaigns for Coca-Cola and American Cancer Society. His father's seven heart attacks taught a glass-half-full mentality through countless ICU visits, vegetable juicing eliminated lung cancer spots in 11 weeks when doctors expected death sentences, and melanoma diagnosis arrived the night before selling his company in New York. In this episode of Fountain of Vitality, host LaMont Leavitt explores getting thrown out of World Trade Center's 84th floor three weeks before 9/11, watching jets fly into towers from Atlanta while airplanes disappeared from skies, and chairing Utah's American Cancer Society board predicting his own cancer recurrence. Hanahan discusses centrifugal juicers extracting vitamins without digestive breakdown, wheatgrass shots equaling bushels of vegetables in mineral content, and why prevention through screenings beats every treatment.
