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). Season 5 started in 2025 and the show is currently listened to in 94 countries and 920 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.

About our guests: Dana Pemberton and Colleen Robinson bring partnership to a whole new level in their life changing work together. Vastly different in many ways, they deliver their own brand of magic to groups, companies, and individuals they work with across North America.
Colleen’s experience as a Chinese Medicine Practitioner, fascination with the intersection between science and spirituality, and focus on healing combines with Dana’s “boots on the ground” approach based on a lifetime of martial arts training and several decades of coaching. Together, their focus is to help their clients find and clear the old patterns that are holding them back, and replace them with simple applicable concepts.
Dana and Colleen thanks for sharing your many gifs with the world, the people you serve and for being our guests on Life’s Essential Ingredients – welcome to the show.
