Voices With Vigor: Men Who Matter

Susan Baumgaertel · February 1, 2026

Three men changing how we think about health and success…

A healthcare finance expert who once climbed mountains and built furniture by hand.

A mental health architect who survived 21 graduate school rejections to become an Emmy-nominated media personality.

A hypnotherapist whose journey led him from creating holograms to helping high-performers unlock their potential.

What binds these three men together isn’t obvious at first glance… ✨

But look deeper, and you’ll find threads of resilience, innovation, and a shared commitment to healing…

Whether it’s healthcare systems, human minds, or limiting beliefs.

This is where Voices With Vigor (VWV) nurtures space for transformative dialogue…

A monthly forum where real conversations replace conventional wisdom.

VWV gathers extraordinary individuals from varied fields of expertise…

Each bringing insights shaped by personal experience, professional mastery, and genuine compassion.

Together, we discover the threads that unite us:

The courage to redefine systems, the strength to embrace complexity, and the grace to hold space for transformative change. 🌱

I’m honored to amplify three extraordinary men who are revolutionizing how we think about healthcare, wellness, and what it means to truly matter.

In a world of quick fixes and surface-level networking…

These three conversations offer something radically different:

Depth, authenticity, and transformative wisdom. 💫

Here’s what’s coming up this “Men Who Matter” week:

☕ Tuesday, February 24 (1-2 pm PT): Afternoon Coffee with Preston Alexander

From medical devices to healthcare transformation, Preston’s journey reveals how passion drives purpose.

As co-founder and CEO of Forward Slash/Health, he’s revolutionizing healthcare finance while empowering physicians to reclaim control of their practices.

We’ll explore his entrepreneurial evolution, his mission to put doctors back in the driver’s seat, and how Forward Slash/CFO is bringing clarity to healthcare’s financial chaos.

🍵 Wednesday, February 25 (5-6 pm PT): Evening Tea with Michael Mantell

Michael’s five-decade journey from rejected graduate student to Emmy-nominated psychology expert shows how persistence transforms into purpose.

This seasoned mental health professional has helped countless individuals “disturb themselves less” through rational emotive behavior coaching.

We’ll discuss his remarkable career spanning police psychology to media appearances, his approach to resilient mindset building, and how “the link is what you think” guides his transformative work.

☕ Thursday, February 26 (9-10 am PT): Morning Coffee with Mark Siegel

From holograms to hypnotherapy, Mark embodies the power of reinvention and authentic influence.

This Master NLP Trainer and creator of “Influence with Integrity” helps high-performers break free from old stories and step into their true potential.

We’ll explore his fascinating entrepreneurial journey, his innovative approach to identity engineering, and how he guides leaders to become “the signal that no one else can replicate”.

Taking part in the Voices With Vigor series has been an absolute delight from start to finish. Susan’s organisation, planning and promoting of my episode was faultless. The live show was wonderful. It felt very much like talking to a friend and having a really insightful conversation. I felt at ease and relaxed with Susan’s warmth and kindness, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. — Lucy W. (UK)

Each conversation promises authenticity over personas, wisdom over platitudes…

Stories that reveal how vulnerability becomes strength and how purpose drives performance.

You’ll hear from men who understand both the science and the struggle, with opportunities to engage through thoughtful questions.

➡️ REGISTER for these live, free, virtual events… and explore the individual landing pages for more details.

Join me for these illuminating conversations.

Let’s move beyond surface-level success stories… 🌟

And discover what happens when purpose meets passion, wisdom embraces innovation, and transformation touches every aspect of life.

P.S. You will find these conversations differ from standard business or success talks. Each serves as an invitation to rethink systems, authenticity, and what truly mattering means in health and wellness. Do not miss this opportunity for genuine insight. 💞
