Truth Tastes Funny with Hersh Rephun

How do we stay sane, survive, and thrive in today’s world? On the Truth Tastes Funny podcast, writer/comedian Hersh Rephun explores the absurdity of life’s challenges, while engaging with experts who’ve dedicated themselves to finding serious solutions.

TRUTH TASTES FUNNY is inspired by Hersh's personal development journey through Peak Performance, Meditation, and Quantum Consciousness, and is a companion podcast to YES, BRAND, which focuses on the Personal aspect of Personal Branding.

What links these two shows is the fact that no matter the role your play in life or business, or the absurdity of the situation in which you find yourself, you must EMBRACE THE TRUTH in order to SELL THE TRUTH!

Wisdom Beyond Weights: Delving into Chris Terza...
Chris Terzakos is an entrepreneur, self-healing coach, and the author of three books: Hernia Without Surgery, Natural Testosterone After 60 and Belonging to Yourself. As he tells Hersh in their conversation, he was spurred to write the books after rejecting commonly held beliefs about medical and health challenges. Chris has been an active athlete for most of his life. Chris’ passion for health and fitness started early in life. From adolescence into adulthood, he faced many ongoing ups and downs and adversities, he often wondered why it had to be this way. After losing loved ones and several relationships, Chris finally realized that he needed a shift that would change the relationship he had with himself. Chris shares these experiences in his book: Belonging To Yourself. Today, he dedicates his life to self-healing and self-growth by connecting to his own natural wisdom, being open to learning, and connecting genuinely with others with the intention of improving their lives. Chris was born and raised in New York City and spent over 40 years in leadership roles helping and mentoring people in the business world associated with unions and organizing their members. He has worked on several high-profile projects building airport terminals and the largest casino in the United States. Chris’ presence in the construction field made a significant impact in the related businesses and people’s lives.

Decorated Army Veteran Jeff Frazier's Mission: ...
Jeff is a decorated Army veteran, a husband and the father of ten beautiful children. He is the founder (now board member) of a $1B+ global clinical research technology company and has served as a founder or leader within several Haiti based NGOs that have driven measurable progress in Haiti. Jeff’s first experience working in Haiti was fighting child trafficking. This experience was so deeply moving that he decided to relocate his family to Florida, learn to speak Haitian Creole and more fully commit his time and attention to serving Haiti’s most vulnerable and forgotten people. His team has worked alongside Haiti’s non-governmental organizations, faith leaders and community stakeholders to fund, manage, and contribute to projects in reforestation, water and food security, education and infrastructure deployment aimed at improving the quality of life for the neediest Haitian communities. During a large food distribution mission, Jeff was kidnapped by a Haitian gang and held for 43 torturous days. This experience served to further his resolve to help Haitians rescue themselves from the ruthless gangs holding them captive and provide them with the tools to maintain their freedoms.
