Life's Essential Ingredients
Life’s Essential Ingredients is spinoff of C4 Leaders, a California based non-profit who uses PIZZA to guide all people in RISING TOGETHER. The show is hosted by two best friends who were college roommates at the University of San Francisco – (Jeff with a Mike). Just launched Season 6 with the show currently listened to in 114 countries and 1081 cities.
The educational and entertaining show takes a deep, yet humorous look at life’s essential ingredients. The hosts engage in interesting conversation with some of the world’s best leaders, authors, athletes, musicians, chefs, architects, moms, dads, brothers, sisters, comedians, CEOs, coaches, professors, teachers, and many, many, more industries and professions.
The goal of the show is to have the guest highlight their life’s essential ingredients and for the listener to add an ingredient or two to their life recipe.
The hosts create space for the guest to be the star of the show and provide an incredible platform to highlight their life, their business, their passion, and most importantly, their gift they share with the world.
Our listeners are diverse and 9% are 18-24, 18% 25-29, 13% 30-34, 18% 35-44, 18% 45-54, and 55+ 24%.

Season 5 Episode #26 Dr. Fawad Mian is coming from Denville, New Jersey (inform, inspire, & transform)
You can find Dr. Mian via his website prolohealing.com or advocareneurowellnessmd.com
About our guest: Dr. Mian is not just a physician—he is someone who’s lived the very pain he now helps others overcome. Dr. Mian is a board-certified neurologist and regenerative medicine specialist, working with active adults 55+ who are tired of being told that pills, surgery, or “just living with it” are their only options.
After years of dealing with chronic pain and facing a future of invasive procedures, he chose a different path—and discovered what traditional medicine often misses: that the body can heal, when given the right tools and support. Dr. Mian’s expertise is in helping high-performing individuals reclaim their strength, mobility, and freedom through precision diagnostics, regenerative therapies like PRP and stem cells, and custom movement protocols.
Dr. Mian’s approach is deeply personal, because he knows what it’s like to be dismissed, misdiagnosed, and stuck. That’s why he treats the whole person—not just the symptom—and guides his patients with the same care he’d offer his own family.
One motto at Dr. Mian’s clinic is, we don’t just mask pain—we resolve it. Because healing isn’t a hope. It’s a plan.
Dr. Mian, thanks for sharing your many gifts and talents with people all over the world, thank you for seeking alternatives that help people who live with chronic pain, thank you for having the courage to write your book (Getting to Pain Free…#1 best seller on Amazon) and thanks for being our guest on Life’s Essential Ingredients, welcome to the show.
TOTD – “At the end of life, most of us will find that we have felt most filled up by the challenges and successful struggles for mastery, creativity, and full expression of our dharma in the world. Fulfillment happens not in retreat from the world, but in advance – and profound engagement.” Stephen Cope
