Art Eddy and Ryan Hamilton welcome Cheyenne Bostock, a devoted father, God-fearing man, passionate life & relationship expert and best-selling author of "Food, Sex And Peace Of Mind: What A Woman Needs To Know To Keep A Man" and his latest book, "Break Every Chain". Cheyenne is originally from Brooklyn, NY, graduated from St. Anthony high school in Jersey City, NJ where he played basketball on a 2x back-to-back State Championship winning team (01-02). He went on to study business and psychology at Texas Wesleyan University, earning a Bachelor's degree in 2008. Cheyenne created "AskCheyB" while living in a homeless shelter in 2011. While going through a bad break up, and experiencing financial setbacks of his own, he found a way to channel that unwanted negative energy and turn it into something positive. Through coaching other people, Cheyenne was able to see the value in being selfless and helping others. Each individual he coached made him feel better about who he was and where he was in life. This was the strength he needed to build the right relationships, form the right partnerships and get himself out of the homeless shelter for good. After opening up a free channel for relationship advice, the demand grew so high that Cheyenne decided to turn his passion into a source of income. Cheyenne spent each day reading books on self-help, psychology, social media marketing, branding, advertising, etc and figured out a way to do exactly what he loved, which was motivate and inspire others, and make a living in the process. Within two years time, Cheyenne as been able to establish a loyal following of over 100,000 people via his various social media sites and has helped improve the lives of thousands. Cheyenne gives advice on life, business and love to help encourage those who are afraid, in doubt or even in despair to feel a sense of hope. Today, Cheyenne is a highly sought after Life & Relationship Expert, motivational speaker and best selling author who travels the U.S. speaking to audiences looking for motivation and inspiration.

With the launch of his company, Chris sought to make a man's transition into fatherhood easier, but along the way started a movement and lifestyle born from the idea that fatherhood doesn't have to be complicated or un-cool. After the birth of the first of his three children, Pegula noticed that most diaper bags and accessories sold at retail stores were designed with women's sense of style in mind. Instead of carrying his baby-stuff around in a gym bag or backpack, Pegula created Diaper Dude for dads. The Diaper Dude brand appeals to image-conscious men everywhere looking for ease of use by merging hip styles with functionality. As today's dads are more involved than ever, dads can easily access the essentials: diapers, bottles, clothes or wipes and toys without taking off the bag! The product's popularity continues to be enormous and keeps Chris on the move. Since the launch of Diaper Dude, Chris has emerged as a lifestyle expert on all things family, parenting and partner related. From helping a man understand what his wife is going through while pregnant, maintaining a great marriage, staying connected to your wife and kids while traveling on business, Pegula understands the everyday challenges and expectations of being a terrific husband and father, and uses humor and creativity in juggling the everyday chaos that accompanies his family-man lifestyle.
