The Tsunami Effect with Eric Mitchell: How to Unleash the Life You’re Meant to Live

Over 20 years ago, I met Eric Mitchell when he came to train myself and my fellow Krav Maga instructors in speed and agility. From the very start, Eric’s uplifting spirit, contagious energy, and inspiring outlook left a lasting impact.

Since then, Eric has dedicated his life to coaching aspiring young athletes to not only become faster, but to live fuller, more meaningful lives. Now, he's entering an exciting new chapter, finishing his first book The Tsunami Effect and launching a coaching program designed to help people transform from the inside out.


In this powerful conversation, Eric shares his personal journey of transformation — and the lessons he's learned about believing in yourself, setting meaningful goals, and showing up fully for the life you're meant to live.


This is the kind of conversation I dreamed of having when I first envisioned this podcast: a conversation filled with hope, heart, and practical wisdom for wherever you are on your path.


May this episode inspire you to reconnect with your deepest vision — the one that calls to you from your heart.

About the Podcast

Thought Experiment Called Life
A podcast for multi-passionate creatives forging nontraditional life paths.
This is a podcast for multi-passionate creatives forging nontraditional life paths.
I’ve never neatly fit into any niche, neither do many people, and neither does this podcast. This is a space for the multi-passionate person—the individual who looks at the world with glittering eyes despite the challenges of a multifaceted life. It’s for those seeking inspiration from positive, unconventional lives and hoping to glean lessons to guide their own path. It’s for those who trust that the right message will find them at the right time, no matter how unrelated it may seem.
This is a space for the existential mind and the open heart—those who understand the power of sharing stories to remind others they’re not alone.

I’ve lived many lives in my time here on Earth, and this podcast dives into a plethora of topics, including (but not limited to):
- Living and thriving with Lyme disease (and autoimmune disease).
- Pursuing your purpose in a world that celebrates conformity.
- Staying mentally healthy as a neurodivergent person in an insane world.
- The power and beauty of plant medicine and nourishing nutrition.
- Why learning self-defense is the ultimate self-care (especially for women)
- The magic of jiu-jitsu: a roadmap to growth and success in every area of life.
- Building healthy relationships—romantic and platonic.
- And perhaps most exciting of all, hearing real stories from multi-passionate individuals living fulfilling, unconventional lives.

This space exists to bring you inspiration, tools, resources, and proof that the call in your heart is there for a reason. I’m excited to walk this path with you.

The wild heart in me bows to the wild heart in you.
