Reena loves a story, and she‘s fascinated by the people behind them. She loves to bring stories to life. Her appetite for storytelling has taken her from the Jerry Springer Show to the legal drama of the courtroom. From influential players to reality stars, nothing is censored here. Reena interviews people whose stories haven‘t been told, at least not through her unique lens, and then gets daddy‘s advice afterward like a good daughter does. Whether you have daddy issues or a father who‘s inspired your path, you will be able to tap into my daddy‘s wisdom, wit, and humor at the end of every episode. My daddy has been a guiding light my whole life and there‘s not much he doesn‘t know, as an entrepreneur for forty-plus years, a husband, a loyal son, and my number one supporter. He has learned lots of life lessons along the way and is here to share them with you. It‘s time to reminisce and reflect on the conversations you‘d like to have with your daddy and learn from mine. Come share in some good old-fashioned family bonding and help us up our wisdom rating. There is wisdom from four generations and I’m addressing what happens from childhood to adulthood!

Dr. JC Doornick “Dragon” comes from a fascinating life and family history full of pioneers in the entertainment industry and professional athletes. Later in life becoming a servant to the people as a Doctor of Chiropractic and Cofounder of a worldwide Humanitarian relief organization serving the third world with health, education, housing and food. Receiving awards such as the Humanitarian of the Year. What most would consider a privileged life, it came with a dark side connected with substance abuse, divorce and abandonment.

With the help and guidance of some key mentors “Angels” and a voracious hunger for self discovery and personal growth, he experienced a physical, mental and financial breakthrough losing 80 lbs, reclaiming his health. Tapping into a Lifestyle Transformation and Coaching company he transformed his mind and started living his life around the things that mattered most. He and his soul mate and wife Mieke went on to build an international Virtual Health Transformation and Lifestyle Coaching company that serves the USA and parts of Asia which helped them create a 7 figure income from home and leave their 9-5 jobs to live their lives around the things that matter most.
Dragon frequently takes the stage and speaks to live audiences upwards of 11,000. With their two sons and adopted daughter “Duckie” they travel the world creating memories and seeking adventure and experiences. This life transformation gave RISE TO THE DRAGON, a once considered mythical creature that the world spoke of yet can’t prove ever existed.
