Timestamped Show Notes:

06:50 – METAL.MEN is who we are, that’s the website. That’s what we are. We’re a men’s group of inspiration, adventure, brotherhood, so let’s dig in on our interesting group of guys.

24:35 – In the METAL MEN group, guys come to us often looking for help with something they’re looking for help with. You know, career advice, or you’ve hit a plateau in what you’re doing, or you want to find out what next. You are just looking for something, right? But guys that stick around stay for the Brotherhood. That is what you’re talking about, the human connection. Being in a space where meeting guys who are very similar to the way you look at things, but from many different backgrounds.

44:00 – I don’t ride motorcycles anymore, the one in 600 but this is actually a specific thing. This is about commuting to work as you get in a sort of ongoing route that you get used to, and you start relaxing, which you should never do, do not become complacent, right? If there was an accident and you survive, the odds are you are going to ride a different way afterwards. How are you going to manage that risk? Sometimes you just have to accept there is a risk, and it’s part of life, right? The fifth thing that we have out of the eight is our BROTHERHOOD. Successful MEN need other successful men. We come from a community and metal of heart centeredness. METAL is completely independent. We are not affiliated with any publishing, religious, political, etc. We are an independent community.

1:05:40 – The answer to that is actually brotherhood and community. It’s about connecting with guys who’ve been very successful or are on the way to being very successful, who can then lean in and just be with you because they’re in the same place. Choosing conscious Brotherhood is different than just meeting guys when you’re out in the world. If you’ve got kids, you meet the friends, you meet your kids, friends, and fathers. What do you have in common? Likely not very much, but you’ve got your kids in common, and so you’ll end up in this kind of hinterland of having these men, male relationships around you. You don’t really have anything in common, and you couldn’t really say, well, you know, I’m in a really dark depression because my dream came true six weeks ago.

01:20:59 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I think I can sum up what you’re talking about in terms of sort of a personal development frame, which is you, you seem to be a perfect example of a guy who knows himself more. Now, when you were a kid, you didn’t know yourself then, and there are lessons that you go through to know yourself better. The secret to happiness in your late 40s, early 50s and onwards is knowing yourself, and it’s finding your purpose and understanding where your weaknesses are. Impulse control, if you come from a family where you have addiction in the family, just be aware that may well be integrated into your DNA and in a way that you could fall off that wagon pretty quick. Just be conscious of it, that is a thing. Know yourself.

The Podcast For Veterinarians, Equine, and Beyond:

Welcome to a new and unique episode with podcast hosts John Ryan and Ryan Murphy, co-founders of a new podcast called Valeo Mentis. John Ryan, is a Senior Equine Specialist impacting large animal veterinarian needs with 19+ years of experience. Ryan Murphy brings us a background in finance and veterinary sales as well. They discuss their podcast’s focus on the equine veterinary industry. They aim to address challenges such as mental health, work-life balance, and the attrition rate among our valued veterinarian doctors.

Scott shares his experience in podcasting, emphasizing the importance of high-quality content and audience engagement. They also discuss potential monetization strategies and the value of building a loyal email list. The discussion centers on monetizing a podcast ethically, with suggestions including implementing a paywall, using affiliate links, and maintaining a supportive community. Scott shared experiences of accidentally gaining clients organically through this show and emphasized the importance of clear disclosure for affiliate links. They all highlighted the need for community building and shared insights on using AI for editing. They also hit on the importance of aligning monetization strategies with a podcast show’s mission.

Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:

1. Understanding the big challenges and tenure impacts, attrition rates, in the veterinary industry.
2. Setting boundaries, prioritizing personal time, feeling less alone, for the big picture of “work/personal life balance”.
3. Setting goals and future plans in podcasting for Valeo Mentis and beyond.

Who & What is Valeo Mentis?

Valeo Mentis is a podcast dedicated to connecting people within the veterinary community through meaningful stories, insights, and resources. The title itself, Valeo Mentis, is derived from Latin, where “Valeo” means “to be strong” or “to thrive,” and “Mentis” refers to the “mind” or “spirit.” Put together, it translates roughly to “thriving minds” or “strengthening the mind.”

The podcast’s goal is to nurture the mental and emotional well-being of veterinarians, veterinary professionals, and anyone involved in the animal care world. By sharing real stories, practical advice, and personal journeys, Valeo Mentis aims to create a supportive, connected community that helps people grow both personally and professionally. It’s about encouraging collaboration, sharing wisdom, and fostering a space where listeners can find inspiration, comfort, and valuable knowledge—ultimately thriving in the challenging but rewarding world of veterinary medicine.

Timestamped Show Notes:

22:00 – I always remind people, guess where most people start their podcasts, is it in the garage, in their bedroom? No it’s the closet, it’s about finding that smaller room, less chance of an echo, less noise reverberation off of the walls. If you have clothing hang in there, you push it to the sides, again, extra sound matting, and especially if you don’t have an upgraded microphone yet.

28:15 –We talk to equine veterinarians all day long and we wear a lot of different hats in the roles that we have, and half the time, I feel like we’re almost a little bit like therapists. People just want to talk, and they want to talk through their issues. So we spend a lot of time just listening to people kind of talk about what’s going on and what the challenges are. There’s a really unfortunate phenomenon in our large animal industry, people come into it straight out of school, and they wind up leaving in a few years and going to a small animal or doing something completely different. So there’s this attrition rate on an already anemic level, the supply of veterinarians is hurting. There has always been mental health issues going on as well. Citizens do not realize how challenging the long hours are, late nights in the dark, etc.

33:00 – So there’s so many ways to access this wealth of knowledge or entertainment. If you’re somebody who’s spending all day in a car, no matter what you’re doing, whether you’re a veterinarian or a salesperson, and you’re not using that time to better yourself, either personally or professionally, you are missing a great opportunity to grow.

45:20 – There are “consultants” out there being recommended in some of the veterinary world, supposedly helping all of these veterinarians. Claiming they know how to grow their business and grow their sales. You have to do your due diligence, especially as doctors trying to understand entrepreneurship to grow and maintain a business while loving the clients’ animals.

50:00 – I actually had one veterinarian in Idaho who who did that after we had that profitability conversation. He took me out to breakfast, he bought breakfast for me, and he said, I just wanted to thank you. He said, I did what you said. I didn’t do it as extreme as you suggested, but I started making that move. I’m doing incrementally over time. He’s like, I am making more money. I’m working less hours, and the customers that I do have, that I’ve kept, are so much happier with me.

01:17:40 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

Ryan Murphy’s Final Words: I think listening to people’s stories is quite impactful, especially when you can relate to those stories, even people outside of the industry. Like John said before, it’s about community. So not feeling alone. That’s a big thing in the industry, and so I think that’s where I want them to end up, and I want them to hopefully build a community through our podcast. Valeo means to thrive, so it means mental health, but it means smeone who’s thriving in mental health.  In one other word, significance, significance to the people that you love, or just significance in affecting change in the world. So I think if you boil life down, the purpose for us all, is significance.

John Ryan’s Final Words: It’s the fact that you’re not alone, and you don’t have to be alone in all of this. You might be struggling, but we ant you to know that you’re not alone.  So it’s the root word for us, it’s about Valor, so trength, and Mentis is about the Mind.

40:00 – I went 20 minutes up into the mountains above Lake Lure, there is an HVAC contractor up there, Ridgeline Heating and Cooling. All of the local citizens just started working with him, and he turned his entire business into a giant Donation Center. So I drove up there, and it was so inspiring. I mean they have you just pull up to the front of the business and that’s where local fellow citizens pull in, and it’s like going shopping.

Timestamped Show Notes:

03:45 – Brad has always been like a big brother to me. He has been in my wedding. He’s just been a mentor and someone that I’ve always looked up to. Just in his character, his discipline, and the way that he carries himself in all facets of his life. Including you, we’re products of personal development. It’s something that I eat, sleep, breathe, and my life is a direct reflection of the time and attention and resources that I’ve invested into my mindset. 

17:15 – We have an idea, we have a mental model, of what we aspire to be. But, you know, I think the beauty part is the process. It’s the learning, it’s the getting better.

21:55 – There are little incantations, little things that I’ve learned over the process of the last three years of mentorship with him. That has really taken me to another level. I couldn’t say that prior to working with Paul Martinelli.

30:20 – It’s controlled, you know you get better two different ways. You could just go full throttle, with with no responsibility, or you can allow the law of process to take effect and you can get a little bit better and feel a little more comfortable over time. Do it in a healthy way. I think one way is, and I’m living proof of that, is rushing things, which is more prone to bad things happening.

40:30 – The thing is, the human programming or as human beings, we get addicted to emotions, to the way that we are supposed to feel. If you don’t think you’re addicted, give me this smartphone for a week. Get your hand off of that device, take that away for a month and see how you feel.

50:00 – Let’s talk about that 12-year-old little boy inside. That’s really the voice that holds me back, it’s that inner child? I was obedient. I set out on my journey, I went to massage school, and then I’m riding a bicycle. I road eight and a half miles, every single day from Allentown to Hellertown. To go help build my family business. We grew that business 1,000% in four and a half years, even through a worldwide pandemic. I hold a citation from the US House of Representatives and the US House of Senate, I became the most influential man in Lehigh Valley Style.

01:15:45 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

What I realized after I came home is that the bicycle that I road is a metaphor for a successful, meaningful, and purposeful life. What I mean is, the first thing you have is the handlebars. Those are decisions, our decisions create our destiny, one degree to the left or to the right of my handlebars, I’m ending up in a completely different destination. So you got to make good decisions.

The next is the frame of the bicycle. That’s my mental and physical well-being, my mental and physical health. One crack on my bike frame, I’m on the side of the road watching everybody else go through life. So you’ve got to take care of your mental and physical health.

The next is your pedals. Those are our desires. The stronger my vibrational frequency of my desires, the more power I’m going to put to my pedals and the further I’m going to go in life. So what do you want?

The next is the chain. Those are my daily actions. Those have to be in alignment with my desires. It’s like me saying I want to lose weight and be financially free. If my daily actions are not in alignment, I’m not going anywhere.

Next is the gears. Successful people know when to switch gears at the appropriate time. The gear that I’m in now is in the gear that I’m in with my clients or with my family, you got to know when to switch gears. You have to have the foresight to see what’s coming down the road of life so you can get in the appropriate gear and maximize your efforts.

The next is the wheel. That’s my support system. At any given time, during that 500 mile ride, all 230 pounds of me was on one spoke. In life, you’re going to have to rely on a handful of people. So make sure you have a good strong support system around you.

The next is the tires. The front ones filled with inspiration, the back ones filled with motivation. Now on that ride, I had to check and fill my tires daily. Because if you ever tried to ride a bike on flat tires, it makes it really hard to do. So you got to find something that inspires and motivates you on a daily basis.

The next is a seat, you are going to have to support yourself. There may come a time where you’re the only person that believes in your dream, you’re gonna have to support yourself, how are you doing that? How are you talking to yourself? Nobody’s going to believe in your dreams like you believe in your dreams, You have to support yourself.

Lastly, my favorite is the brakes. Everything in the universe is subject to the law of rhythm. Sun goes up, sun comes down, tide goes out, tide comes in. Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, everything is subject to the law of rhythm. Sometimes you’re grinding up a hill. Sometimes you have got momentum and you’re coasting down on those downhills. Don’t forget to use your brakes, slow down, take in the views and enjoy the ride. We get so fixated on getting to the destination that we completely miss the entire journey. Life is so beautiful at eight miles an hour. So keep pedaling.

Timestamped Show Notes:

05:20 – I really wish I had been introduced to this 20 years ago as it would have saved me a lot of suffering. I suffer from a condition called tinnitus and it is a ringing in the ear. I maintain that condition and it was caused by eight years in the US Army, 

12:00 – One of the things I try to get across the people every time I talked to them is that they need to guard their hearing. Some of the concussive sounds that I have heard in the Army with no hearing protection on the market would have helped or would have protected it to that degree. Did you know that I get letters every single week from dentists who are working on teeth and they were getting negative impacts from how the drills are resonating.

23:10 – I love most music, we all love to listen to whatever type of music it is we listen to. That is really the whole reason that we did Melody Clouds and put it together the way that we did. Once I was able to figure out, okay, this is how binaural beats work. Let’s find out what other problems that binaural beats will help solve. 

32:30 – The way that we’ve done it is I put all the binaural beats in a solfeggio and the guided meditations in one section. People who like binaural beats, they like the guided meditations and solfeggio has worked for them as well. They’re familiar with it, and they know how that works. Now, the one thing I did was, add images, all of the images in Melody Clouds are award winning art and award winning photography. 

45:15 – That is our philosophy as well, because in the next month or two, we will have 8000 episodes of old time radio. So this is how that ties in. Instead of you sitting in front of a TV and watching a story, those radio programs, this required imagination, this will require you to think and visualize it yourself. So rather than being overwhelmed by all the visual and the sounds from a VR headset, which is becoming a problem, and it’s the opposite of relaxation for people.

01:00:05 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

When someone sincerely asks me for help, I try very hard to be present for that and to do what I can to further someone else’s goals. I do that because of the negativity that sometimes surrounds projects that I wanted, the people that are closest to us oftentimes are the ones that are the are naysayers. Don’t do this because other people are doing it. I look back at some very good advice that I was given. Every restaurant in the United States has a hamburger on the menu. That doesn’t stop McDonald’s, Burger King, In N Out, and Five Guys, along with other hamburger only restaurants. The bottom line, what I would say to people, is you don’t hear no, don’t ever hear no, hear not now, you’re not yet ready. But don’t hear no. If you want to do something, do it, do that thing, and do it well. Do it in the best way you possibly can. That’s what we really try to do with Melody Clouds. We stand on that.

Timestamped Show Notes:

08:30 – When it comes to our Lehigh Valley, PA region, there’s not enough personal and professional development here locally, like you said, I’ve traveled everywhere, California, Florida, Texas, we know social groups and masterminds. 

10:20 – I’ll tell you , it always surprised me when I speak at more local events and not the big stages. Like you said, traveling all over the country, no matter where you’re doing it, no matter if it’s New York City, or if it’s going to be here in the Lehigh Valley, wherever it is. So many people are hungry for it. I believe that everybody knows the truth deep inside, but either busy has beat them, or life has beat them down, or they’re on autopilot doing things. But when we hear the truth, we all stop for a second, we all pause.

22:00 – It changes the intent and how you see things, I promise you, and you’re talking to a guy who is a convicted felon, I did four years in the Feds, a high school dropout, I was a drug addict on every single level. I’ve done every single drug known to man, I had zero discipline, I had a mindset where I did whatever the fuck I wanted. I didn’t care who I hurt, I didn’t care what I did. There was zero discipline. Now, in this evolution, for people to understand where real personal growth comes from, with your family, with your relationships, with your finances, with your health, with everything… it’s discipline!

29:15 – Brother when I came in here, I put my phone over on the table. You know what I mean? It’s because it’s that thing, that mobile tech, you got to be disciplined to not look at it. Discipline is everything. Like I can’t say it enough and I can’t talk about it enough, DISCIPLINE.

39:25 – What you mentioned too, was intentional evaluation process. As we get older, many people stop evaluating themselves. I mean, you work in a job, you’re gonna have an annual review. But those numbers are already circled. How about we get to circle our own numbers and be intentional. So once a month I call it get my life together Saturday. I sit down with a cup of coffee, a cigar, and maybe really nice drink. Then I put down the different roles that I play as a versus overall as me, Andre, but also as a husband, as a father, I have four kids, believe me, I’ll have four different ratings. Okay, as a leader, and you could go whatever role that you value, put it down on a scale of one to ten. My rating is on a scale of one to ten. 

45:00 – So I think one of the challenges of being a coach is we try to coach at home, and they don’t need a coach, like I experienced this with my daughter, Wes knows my kids. This is what I have on my phone at 9:15, and it says discipline equals freedom. Make a list for tomorrow goes off every night at nine o’clock. So like, this is where discipline comes into play. The gift in the curse with what we do, we coach people, we give people direction, we tell them what they need. Then we go home…

53:30 – DALE: Yeah, they need to be present, just like we were talking about be present where you are present. Like I to have quite a few friends who just had the most amazing dads. Like there’s nothing more important to them than their family and their kids. Not just that they’re proactively raising their children and teaching them. Here’s what it means to be an entrepreneur at 10, 11, 12. If you do this, I’ll give you a reward. So they understand reward systems, they understand then once they start doing those things, they get a reward, but how good they feel on the other side is a huge reward in itself too. So they’re just teaching them all these different things in life that I learned, but I didn’t necessarily learn from one person. 

59:00 – One in 400 trillion or it’s 400 trillion to one. Each of us, you yourself are that one in 400 trillion chance to come into existence. When I heard that statistic, I immediately was woken up, just think about that. Just the thought of that is happening, why do you exist on this earth, why are you walking around. Each of us are a 400 trillion to one chance of creation. That’s it. When you think about that, it’s like each of us won the lottery of life. So you know how special you are right now?! 

01:07:00 – I’m a man of faith, I don’t hide that. I think it’s very important, not so much being religious, but I’m spiritual. I heard the voice of God and he said, Wes, I’m all the father that you’ll ever need. I’m all the father that you’ll ever need, bro. When you put expectations on human beings, they will let you down a lot. So he said, I’m all the man that you’ll ever need. Just FYI, we’re setting a fucking date for this Men Of Mindset night again bros. I’m coming back!

01:13:00 – I mean, I think that’s part of growth, though. The theme of tonight was Men and Mindset, right? Mindset is just the key word. This event them just popped in my head, so I was just like, I’m just gonna stick it on the calendar invite and I’m still gonna stick by it. I’m feeling it.

01:27:00 – The Final, Final, Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

• In the immortal words of the man who stole my fucking jacket from Skateway, DISCIPLINE. ~ Brad Modrich

Timestamped Show Notes:

05:00 – I finally ended up taking a leave of absence and then ended up leaving, I was an Illinois State Trooper and I ended up leaving because of fitness businesses that I had not the one I have now a different fitness business, I started, but it really took off. But, you know, throughout that I also even when I was a police officer, I was super interested in fitness. I was bodybuilding and powerlifting even when I was a police officer, as a police officer, I got as heavy as like 235 pounds as a power lifter, and I’d get down to 175 pounds for a bodybuilding competition.

13:15 – I think that if we’re coming in a couple different ways. From a department perspective, you know, obviously, like you said, unscripted, my thoughts go to leadership. Leadership is incredibly important in companies, in police departments, in anything. 

22:25 – Even though fitness has been in my kind of personal DNA, when I was a state trooper, I started a little supplement company. I thought, if I can just make enough money to pay for my own protein powder, I’ll be happy. So you know, we call it a side hustle now, but here was the thing, there was there was no internet then. So I placed little classified ads in the back of bodybuilding magazines like Flex Magazine, Ironman, and it was a toll free number and I couldn’t even answer the phone because I was a police officer working. So when I got the call they would have to leave a message.

33:00 – Why are we letting ourselves, and we’re capable of so much, go down that emotionally depressed path? How do we catch them sooner? How do we get them in-line sooner to help themselves? – It’s a great question. I think that part of the reason, I’ll give this quote, “For every complex problem, there’s an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.” Since it is a complex question, I’ll try not to just turn it into one thing, you know, do it reductionist. I’ll say this, I think that part of the answer is, if you have worked with people at all in the addiction space, it’s not always rational, because in my head when I was 32, I was rational but like what is going on here?

40:00 – There’s so much to focus on, and it’s more than just take personal responsibility and just buck up man. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and do this, except that we are in this incredibly obesogenic environment. By obesogenic, your listeners probably know what it means. But to me, it just means that all things external and internal that drive the overconsumption of ultra-processed food. The simple fact that ultra-processed food is addictive, which is also obesogenic. 

51:00 – One of the elements of emotional fitness is self-awareness. When you have more self-awareness, you are more conscious. What happens is, you go catastrophic, or you don’t go catastrophic. For example, if I had an argument with my spouse or my significant other, I’d say well, I guess we’re gonna end up divorced, I’ll be homeless, alone, living under a bridge penniless, nobody will ever love me ever again. Now I know, I’m exaggerating. But I think your listeners will all get that we all do that, to some extent, if something is really the thing that lights us up quick. What if something’s become what we call a conditioned, automated response. Conditioned as in like Pavlov’s dogs.

01:07:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

Honestly, it’s the reason I transitioned out of supplements. I sold a supplement company and I went all in on llcu. Because I started thinking about what were the what were the positive things that people were saying about me. And to me with regard to the supplements, hey, thanks for the great prices, the fast shipping, the protein that helped me get ready for the thing that whatever the thing was, and I went, I literally went, this was back in 9798, I went, I have got so much more in me than that. And on the back of my tombstone, I don’t want thanks for the fast shipping. Thanks for the, you know, the low prices. Thanks for that. I said, I want to really have done everything I can to help people transform truly transform from the inside out and have their lives be bettered not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, spiritually, in ways that transcend not only their life, but that they can then share with and help the next generation and the next generation and the next so. And so that’s why I’m so passionate about making sure people understand what they’re facing what’s going on. Because I want them to win, I really want them to win. And they can if they have the information and the support and the system. So I mean, that’s not really a pretty simple, you know, answer, but it really is all about helping people to be their best selves and have that transcend. I’ve got grandkids now, Scott. So I see my kids with their kids. Yeah, we were just there this weekend, we were in Dallas visiting and seeing the grandkids. I can’t tell you how important it is and how special it is for me to see, you know, the influence?

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

03:30 – It was it was actually super fun. So the conferences were both in this old engine building factory that had been refurbished into like a venue for events. And so they have all of the old. Like the cranes in there and stuff. I mean, obviously, they’re not moving it or using it. But yeah, you go in and they had a big screen down all the way at the end of the room. And they had speakers rooms upstairs. And anyway, it was it was very, very cool, then you a lot of the people that they had at the event, were some of the people that were kind of pushing the state of the art forward in JavaScript. And so and some of them I knew already, some of them we’d had on like JavaScript Jabber, which is our big podcast on JavaScript. And so yeah, so just meeting up with him in person, you know, getting to know him shaking hands. I recorded a handful of interviews.

10:00 – The difference is, and it’s kind of the same thing that I did with Microsoft for five or six years, is if you go as a speaker or influencer, it’s a different thing. If you’re going as an attendee, sometimes even some of the conferences just going as a speaker, it’s different than going as an influencer. If you’re one of the people that they go out of their way to get to the conference, then a lot of times, they’ll pull out all the stops.

19:30 – The other version of that is none of these technologies standstill. None of them do. So even if you’re working in a place that is hey, we’re going to stick on the version we’re at, we’re gonna use the technology we know. You find all kinds of opportunities learning the next thing in the technology you’re already an expert in. Maybe you want to go with indie game development, which is one area that I want to branch into. It’s super popular, and there’s a ton of stuff going on, and it’s getting easier. So if that’s an area of interest for you, by all means, if you want to move into management, then you’re talking about project management, people management and helping them do essentially what I’m doing just one on one.

22:20 – The video game standing in for real life for military applications, you know, where maybe you replicate a cockpit, or combat situations where you’re carrying a weapon and things like that. With AR and VR opening it up, you don’t even see the gun, you carry the prop, that is a game controller. But going beyond that, like office professionals these days, a lot of the stuff that they’re doing, the interactive stuff that they’re learning, that’s all being done with game development technology. They’re using Unity, which is an engine for building video games. So from there, it’s not just watch a video and then click on the right answers in the quiz anymore, which is what I did in a past corporate life. But now it’s literally you’re working through a work function, or you’re documenting and outlining some process that you have to do at work

31:20 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

The way that I got into the conference thing in the first place, was I had a listener to one of the shows, who wanted to have a Ruby track at a conference that he was helping organize. So he set it all up, they got us to come out, I actually lined up for a bunch of my friends to come out as speakers. We went up to Vancouver and while I was there, there was another podcast called .NET.

So .NET is Microsoft’s technology stack. They were doing a series on agile development. It’s a methodology, it’s a set of principles for running a team. They asked me to join the panel, because I had a different take on things because I came from a different background. So I joined the panel got to know the guys that ran that show. It turned out that they were the ones that wound up one of those guys who ended up organizing the podcast setup at the Microsoft events. So sometimes it works to get to know the people directly involved. But sometimes it helps just to get to know people and empower people who eventually introduce you to those people.

Learn To Advocate For Yourself with “I Am The One” Author, Viki Zarkin:

Viki Zarkin is the only person alive with this aggressive form of Stage 4 metastatic cancer for over 11 years. She was diagnosed in her 40’s when her doctor first told her to go home and get her affairs in order. At the time, she had two small children at home and was running her husband’s dental practice. Viki spent the next several years fighting for her life, advocating for herself and navigating through the healthcare world, and following her gut. Now,

“I really am the luckiest girl around. But I just happen to have Cancer.” ~ Viki Zarkin

Viki is a beacon of hope as a national motivational speaker, coach, and author of I Am the One. She inspires women to change the way we have been programmed to think and emphasizes the importance of starting with young women on how to believe in themselves, challenge the status quo, find their voices, and listen to their hearts. Viki’s can-do attitude inspires people to think differently in their everyday lives; by applying her unique thought process, deals can be made in a boardroom just as easily as they can help people through their cancer battle.

Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:

1. Understanding Metastatic Cancer

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

09:40 – I’m wholeheartedly aligned with you. I understand where you’re going with that. Do you know that women’s healthcare today has been cut back so severely that we don’t get any of the same procedures afforded us even as much as five years ago?!

20:00 – So find the professionals get the second, third or fourth opinion till you find the professional to your point, who is the different color crayon in the box that DOES care to do their own analysis, their own research. They do exist and I’ve now met lots of them, and I do mean a lot. I left in the middle of the night, after my mammogram, in a hospital gown flying open, as my mother and my husband wheeled me down the hall running for our lives!

30:20 – It comes back to your advocacy for yourself, do it for yourself, and so on. If it’s you just make it organic, I’m not talking about food, I’m just talking about your life choices can become organic, and you make it matter.

37:10 – You don’t necessarily have to listen to me. But when you do have a near death experience, it does give you insight, it truly does something that no others have. When you learn, when you drop into the abyss, and you personally are responsible for lifting yourself out. How can you not share that knowledge with others? How can you not be responsible for the other lives and the knowledge that you now have been given by God? I don’t say it in a religious tone, I say it in a spiritual tone. Because it’s a gift and it’s what you do with that gift.

42:55 – So I think that we want to clarify that a little space. Because not everybody has to be an adrenaline junkie to submit to faith or to risk or to not be scared. Just because you choose not to break every bone in your body doesn’t mean you were scared to do that. But what it does mean to you, then choose your poison. Don’t go through life without risk, find whatever that risk might be to you. Like I said, for somebody, it could be overcoming an agoraphobic condition, it could be literally stepping that foot out the door.

56:30 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

I have this really crazy motto that I made up. I like models. When I first got sick, I said it came through, it was born out of truth. It was born out of my own honesty. What I said was, you know, I really am the luckiest girl around. But I just happen to have Cancer. That’s it. Why? Why does one have to take from the other? All right. I’m just me and all of the parts of me. I’m very lucky to be who I am.

Burned Bridges Lead To Better Roads:

Shari Sanahi is the author of the book, “Burned Bridges Leads To Better Roads: A Survivor’s Method To Risk-Taking Through Radical Change.”

Shari is a first-generation Guyanese-American author born in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and currently resides in Los Angeles, California. She has spent most of her life teaching others about Guyana’s location and culture to those who cross her path. Guyana, a country located in South America, is comprised of 6 different races: Indigenous, East Indian, African, Portuguese, European and Chinese.

She was published in the zine from New Zealand titled “Phantom Billstickers, which can be purchased on Amazon.

Quote: “Some people choose to suffer for greatness, and some choose to suffer because they feel greatness escapes them.”

SPECIAL Timing Note: We originally recorded this episode in October 2021. Thank you in advance as we catch up on episode releases since our host, Scott Mulvaney, started returning from his time off to finish writing and self-publishing his inspirational first book, “So You Want To Be A Hotshot” on Amazon.

Shari’s Bio Continued:

Shari obtained a B.A. in Biology from Stockton University in 2011. In 2008, she took on an immense love for boxing and padwork training. In 2012, Shari began her training at Commando Krav Maga and Diamond Mixed Martial Arts Academy, a Muay Thai, Krav Maga, and Jiu-Jitsu studio located in Philadelphia.
When she moved to Los Angeles, she later became a boxing instructor at Title Boxing. Before taking an initial cross country road trip which she completed in 3 days, Shari obtained her 200-hour Power Yoga certification from Grace and Glory Yoga, located in New Jersey, in 2017.

After getting an initial taste of Los Angeles, she fell so in-love with the city that she decided to take a one-way-flight with no set place to stay to truly find her way after taking a break for one month. This journey had to be undertaken to complete her first book, which would lay the groundwork and foundation she had been searching for all of her life. Trauma and a difficult upbringing created a pretty unsteady foundation. Her recently published book creates a road map that got her onto better roads, and she hopes to help people from all walks of life walk on better roads as a result of reading her book.

Along with yoga and boxing, she was able to complete two 10-day Vipassana meditation retreats at S.N. Goenka’s meditation center in Shelburne Falls, MA. These modalities helped her to understand the importance of discipline that helped to create this book, and also were modalities which helped her to heal emotionally and physically.

Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:

1. Take Risks!
2. No Risks = No Story!
3. There is no one foot in and one foot out.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

06:50 – I took the gift of being all or nothing to say, you know what, it’s not a bad trait. It’s not some people call you got to be more great or, you’re too black and white. It’s don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater, all these different things, but some people you have, there’s a certain wiring for a reason.

23:00 – Oh, from the outside looking in, or I’m very much the same. I like real, because I’ve been through so much in my life. So what I like to hear those stories of like rags to riches or so for me, it’s a viewer. I also like to know what made people tick, because how could you, how can I put this I myself, but I’m doing things I don’t want to be upset about stuff. I want to be like, it’s music, it’s with movies, like I want something real and passionate. Whoa, that was so heavy. You can’t fake that. So it’s feeling and seeing how I feel, just because it’s how I really felt some type of way to write the book.

31:30 – I’m gonna give you a very surface fact. So at 12 years old, I was already smoking cigarettes, at 13 years old I was already drinking and liked going and hanging out with friends.  You know, going into parents liquor cabinets, and let’s take this gin, blah-blah-blah. At 14 years old, okay, this person or not found marijuana, so we’re gonna smoke formaldehyde too.

42:35 – What are you willing to suffer? I was willing to, I rather suffered. We all have pain, right? I say some choose to suffer for greatness and some people choose to suffer because they feel great. This is escape. So I said, listen, this thing’s gonna hurt. I don’t know what the hell I’m doing. I don’t know how I’m going to figure it out. But I would rather suffer this pain. That’s where the risk taking comes in, no risk, no story, no all-in, no story.

55:20 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

Well, it’s like I said, it’s just one step at a time realizing that everybody’s on different timelines. Regardless of where you were on your journey, it’s just everybody goes through the phase to see beyond the surface. So people see me too, okay. So you just happen to be right there. So seeing beyond the surface, understanding that we’re all connected, we all have a brain and a heart, we’ve all been through things. But you don’t have to stick their turn, the trauma worked through, I gave a lot of tools in the book to work through to turn that coal into a diamond.

Then maybe it’s on an author, maybe it’s it’s a singer, maybe you’re a CEO of your own company, whatever it is, there’s so many different dynamics as to how to convert that diamond. But you just have to keep working and you can’t let hard work scare you. You just got to know that it’s really not about the level of intelligence, it’s about how bad do you want something? How bad do you want to change your life? You really have to be sold on that idea. Like, if I give up, is the regret of giving up worth it? Wondering what could have been if I don’t do this work.

You know, like I mentioned, I stopped drinking for four years, clearly this way of life isn’t serving me anymore. I said, if I don’t do this, if I don’t make the sacrifice, what’s the other reality going to look like? What’s that going to make me stuck with? There is a level of dramatics with it. But you have to feel that I wasn’t a cold hearted person writing, I had to feel a level of discomfort and I’m tired of this entirety this way. I had to feel to the depths of my beat with every fiber of my being and wouldn’t that when you don’t drink, you’re going to feel and it’s not always going to feel nice, you know, especially with my history and things like that.

But I was like, you know what, I would rather endure this pain than that kind of pain, that’s picking pains. What’s your pain point? Then saying and realizing that there’s never mistakes, there’s just lessons and to just keep having faith in yourself. Knowing that there’s a greater picture, the details are one thing like all the evidence that we both got to do. Those are the little details, but keep going back to all of that little stuff to get to the bigger picture. Who are you helping before you leave this world? Whose life can you change before you leave this world? What do you know and how can you show somebody? What could really be done? Maybe they don’t have anybody else that can bring that out of them? That’s what it’s about.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:00 – I have been involved with a lot of training academies, training the people that we hire, I’ve done several. You get to week three or so and you start to learn that people’s personalities are the ones that are going to actually stick around and graduate. A bunch of them get nicknames and that nickname for sure follows them to their first assignment. A lot of times, you know, quite a ways through their career.

20:00 – The first time I have ever went on an airplane was there were fires are burning in Florida in 1998. And we flew, we went to Florida, in all parts of Florida, northern Florida and Flagler County there. And we got our R&R in Florida. So a whole bunch of you know, 21 year old kids, you know, going to check it out places we never been Cocoa Beach and mandatory days, days off. You go to the south Daytona. No, we were up in the middle of the state, though. We made it to Daytona. We did. We rented a car and went to we rented a t top trans-am. Anybody here ever heard of a car company called Pontiac,

31:20 – on those tragic events, and you know, we’re kind of talking, you know, about, like you said, people that are closest, how hard it is for them. And when I would use it as a training tool, and this is a great discussion, just for everybody listening out there. And if you haven’t seen the movie, I definitely recommend recommend it as just a way to honor those, those guys that are no longer with us, but but it’s the human factors, right. Like you mentioned, there’s, there’s policies, and there’s procedures, and then there’s science, right, there’s the weather that we can’t always predict. But really, we specialize and when we’re training people, you know, we can’t control all those other factors. But we’re trying to teach people the human factors.

40:00 – In reference to Situational Awareness, a lot of times I try to recognize when things aren’t going like they should. Or if somebody needs help in a certain area, I’m kind of that for them, but who’s watching my back? So that’s her, she’s seeing the whole picture.

50:00 – I post a lot about fitness because like you, it’s just kind of over time, that’s kind of what I became known for. At work, that was part of my passion, that’s just who I am. So that’s the business side of it, the podcasting, and even the business side with VenturAthlete. I actually started first programming for our teams that I worked with are paid, hand crews, trying to come up with something that we can do at work that would still allow us to work. Because you can go hardcore on a lot of this programming that you can find online nowadays.

01:02:00 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

At this point, what I would like to be known for and what I would like to pass on even to my sons that they would be known for, and I kind of got it just in three little little short blurbs. It’s to Stay Hungry, to Be Humble, and to Do Hard-Work. You’re never going to reach the pinnacle. You’re never going to get to the top of the ladder. Staying hungry all the time, but doing it in a way that has humility and not arrogance. That means you can help other people and then doing the hard work recognizing when there’s hard work and not passing it up to let somebody else handle it. But you get in there and do the hard work and so that’s what I would drop on the audience. I hope it’s helpful to you and thank you so much Scott for having me on the show.

The post 2022 Kickoff with your Host, Scott Mulvaney appeared first on LIVETHEFUEL.

Enjoy This August 2021 Book Launch Throwback Episode:

I took a big break during 2021 to ensure we could finish launching my first book, “So You Want To Be A Hotshot” and well, we did it! This podcast episode was originally a Facebook LIVE video on my personal feed there during our book launch day. So please listen in with my editor and publisher partner, Hilary and I celebrate and discuss lessons learned. With 20+ years in the digital marketing trenches, J . Hill Marketing & Creative Services is the expert. Period. Here is Hilary’s bio below.

Quote: You OWE it to your book to take time and not rush it!

~ Hilary Jastram

I am the founder of J. Hil Creative, a marketing agency specializing in premier copywriting, editing, and book editing for Fortune 500 brands and the “one-percent” superstar entrepreneurs. Bookmark Publishing House, a division of J. Hil Creative, was born out of necessity when the inquiries I put out to help authors publish their masterpieces gained traction. Now, it is Bookmark that demands most of my time–and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Authors who come to me get a genuine assessment of what they need to do to reach the book publishing finish line. I am qualified to teach them as this is a road I have traveled myself.

It’s important that an author works with an editor who has been in the book writing trenches–who is an author themselves. So the process is one of not just empathy but sympathy. When I tell authors I understand their confusion and overwhelm, their fear of releasing their book baby into the world, I absolutely mean it. This is why I love being a book coach so much! There is nothing like being witness to a writer’s strength growing in ways that surprise even them. I tell myself every day that I have the best job on the planet.

Since 2016, Bookmark has helped over 100 authors everywhere get published! That’s a number I’m pretty proud of. I attribute our success to my incredible team of experts ranging from proofers, formatters, designers, marketers, copywriters, and editors.

Another one of my labors of love is the Go Book Yourself podcast that allows authors to master writing, marketing, and publishing one byte at a time. It’s my hope that this podcast will provide peace of mind through the sharing of relevant and road-tested tips, tricks, and industry insights, so authors can gain the confidence they need to move forward on the steps to publication.

As you are about to learn, there’s no feeling like becoming an author in the entire world. Wearing the crown of authorhood belongs solely to you. Nothing can ever take it away. And in my eyes, nothing can ever beat it.

Although my time is dedicated mainly to Bookmark, I am available for copywriting, publishing, and marketing consultations. Please reach out using the Contact option on the menu at the top of the page. I can’t wait to speak with you soon!

Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:

1. Be patient with the process, even a Hotshot can struggle.
2. Stay inspired to ensure your motivation to the end.
3. Partner with the right professional to push you to the finish line

00:30 – Introduction

10:25 – I have to stay sane and married. So I’m gonna make a command decision right now to do those things. I admired your dedication. I admired your focus, and you came back to it. So some people don’t come back to it. I don’t know why this is.

17:10 – You already had that commitment. I think he was robbed but what stuck out for me and what I just kind of chuckled over and I really enjoyed watching you get into and wade around in… You fully immersed yourself in the total geekiness of living as a minimalist. That that was joyful for me.

22:30 – So I do mention that in the book. There’s already been a movie about the Granite Mountain Hotshots who passed away June 30, 2013. I got to serve alongside of them with my crew Pleasant Valley Hotshots in 2010, 2011, on different fires. Then, unfortunately, when I stepped away from the profession, they ended up passing away. 19 of the 20 men lost their lives on the Yarnell Hill fire on June 30, 2013 trying to protect the town of Yarnell outside of Prescott, Arizona.

30:35 – It’s not you, it’s me. I think my line was, man I was such a douche, I think my line was, was like, listen, I can be gone for a month at a time or two months at a time. It’s not fair to you or I to take those matters of the heart like that so lightly. Honestly, deep down, I didn’t want to. I didn’t want to risk my heart, I was shut down. I saw people on my crew struggling, being engaged, being married, worrying about people cheating on you while you’re gone. So I was like, dude, this is only for like, sometimes four to six weeks. I can’t imagine people in the military what they go through. It took a lot of years of work to pull my head out of my ass after this.

40:00 – Well, I’ll tell you what I think what you’re doing here is right. So when you take on a book, it used to be, I’m going to write a book and that’s going to be the focus. I’m going to write a book and then I’m going to do this, then I’m going to do this, and I’m going to do this, once you’ve done “this”, you launch a multi-prong campaign. That is exactly what you should be doing. So if there’s anything that I want people to take away today, it is to wrap your mind around the fact that you’re not just an author, you are a marketer, you will be whether you’re self-publishing, going with the publisher or a traditional publisher, whatever the case is. You will be expected to come to the table as a marketer.

Our Final Words of the Show:

If you can’t sell your own book… Alright. So my friends, my family, my followers, please help push this out there. Now again, all profits go to charity, I’m not messing around. It tells you right an Amazon. It’s literally on the back of the book. I started my own foundation, that was one of the things that happened because of writing the book. I want to be able to make sure and guarantee people that money is going to charity.

FUEL Foundations is legit 501-C3 nonprofit that I registered over a year ago. I didn’t plan on doing it until writing the book because then I realized, wait a minute, what if certain firefighting benefiting communities or charities either go defunct, or all of a sudden get shady. I need to ensure that people’s money is being put in the right hands. If I only aligned with one charity on the book, well, then I can’t help others. So this is one way that we can literally ensure that this book’s success can be benefiting multiple organizations for years to come!

The post Stop Living Out of Reaction with Love Strategist PJ Dixon Returns appeared first on LIVETHEFUEL.

Ryan and scott dig deep into some hot topics around victimization, entitlement, ptsd, and his book, tip of the spear:

The inspiring true story of a US Special Forces soldier who was medically retired after stepping on an IED, and his incredible return to active duty and combat.

Sergeant First Class (SFC) Ryan Hendrickson is a determined, and courageous soldier — a Green Beret clearing the way for his twelve-man team while conducting combat operations against the Taliban. As the “tip of the spear,” his role is to ensure the route taken by U.S. and Afghan troops are free of IEDs — improvised explosive devices. Many soldiers do not survive their last step; those who do often lose at least one limb.

While rescuing an Afghan soldier outside a mud-hut compound in 2010 — knowing that he was in “uncleared” territory — Ryan stepped on an IED with his right foot. The device exploded, leaving his foot dangling at the end of his leg.

American soldiers losing a limb is an all-too-common occurrence. But what makes Ryan’s story different is that after undergoing two dozen surgeries and a tortuous rehabilitation, he was medically retired but fought to return to active duty. Multiple skin grafts to his leg and right foot successfully reattached his lower leg, and he was aided in his recovery by wearing a new prosthetic device known as an IDEO (Intrepid Dynamic Exoskeletal Orthosis). Once he passed a series of crucial physical tests, Ryan was able to rejoin the Green Berets within a year and physically perform his duties, redeploying to Afghanistan in March 2012.

In 2016, he volunteered to return to Afghanistan with Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group. During a firefight with the Taliban, he risked his life under heavy enemy fire to rescue three Afghan soldiers cut off from friendly forces and return the bodies of two dead Afghan soldiers under the ethos that “no one gets left behind.” For his heroic efforts on the battlefield, SFC Ryan Hendrickson was awarded a Silver Star, the nation’s third-highest award for valor.

An engaging and harrowing account, Tip of the Spear tells the amazing story of one Green Beret’s indomitable spirit.

00:30 – Introduction

09:50 – Yes, well, overmanned career fields in the Air Force. They were doing a direct transfer over to the army if you wanted to, and I was going through a very big change in my life, the divorce and I just, I escaped. Yeah, went to the recruiter and went infantry and just went to my house and locked the door and shut the lights off. 

20:00 – So it was kinda, I guess kind of the place that I was at when I actually opened up my keyboard and, or my laptop and started typing was, it was weird because when I went back and kind of read what I had wrote, I couldn’t believe like I was pouring that kind of stuff out and I was jumping all over the place. From what I dealt with what just incidents in Afghanistan to, then I would wake up at night, and oh, man, let me it was like my body was forcing out all this shit that bothered me all the way back from when I was a kid to you name it. And I would just type it in typing and typing and type it in. 

30:00 – Because see, we got to have, in my opinion, just my opinion alone, we have an issue with victimization. And America. I see it everywhere. Everyone’s a victim, I can’t because of this, I can’t because I grew up like this. I can’t because this is handed this isn’t and we have entitlement. I am owed this. I am. So I deserve. And we have all of this. And my, in basically in the book, it details out my, my falling into the victimization mindset into that pit, barely, barely climbing myself out of the pit taking control of my life again, owning my circumstances is not because, you know, I grew up dirt poor, it’s not because you know, I stepped on an IED, or any of the number of things that happen. Those are all those are all just speed bumps in life. 

40:00 – It’s because you grew up like this, this isn’t your fault, or no, no, it’s, it’s okay. You’re just, you’re because you’re part of this group, or you’re part of this group or you grew up like this or you are, it’s okay. It’s not your fault is bullshit, like accountability, we have lost 100%, we have lost the ability to hold ourselves accountable for our own mistakes. It is always somebody else’s fault. It is always, I mean, we’re going through it right now. And I’m not going to get political on here. But watch the news.                                                               

50:00 – So in my opinion, PTSD is real. It definitely is and there are people that suffer from it. You don’t have to be a soldier to suffer from it. A lot of traumatic incidents out there. But PTSD is so publicized now, that it’s almost like it feeds into more PTSD cases. That’s just my opinion, I’m not necessarily saying people are faking it. What I’m saying is, is that people maybe have some sort of issues with natural life, like, Hey, man, I have issues with the Humvee that blew up in front of me. 

01:31:45 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

My biggest message that I have is remember Victimization and choosing to be a victim of circumstances is, again, I just said it’s a choice. You don’t have to live that way you can control the way you think and the way things affect you. And definitely it is a prison. But again, it’s the only prison in the world that you can willfully leave whenever you’re ready to. But I highly, highly recommend, you know, don’t fall into that mindset, into that pit, into that trap of victimization, because you don’t have to, but it’s very hard to get out of once you’re in.

Wheelchair Life to the Exoskeleton, Human Robotics Lifestyle:

I began my exoskeleton pilot certification in 2007 at the age of 18. In 2010, I was introduced to the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC) where a team of engineers and computer scientists had developed MINA, their first paraplegic mobility device or exoskeleton. Over the last decade, we have worked together to develop hardware capable of mimicking the human gate and necessary software to drive it. We are currently weeks away from testing our 4th iteration exoskeleton, QUIX, as a part of our participation in Toyota’s Mobility Unlimited Challenge after we compete in the 2020 Cybathlon later this year. It has been an honor to witness the advances in technology and evolution of handicap sports. In response to witnessing these miraculous achievements, I have spent the past 13 years of my life pushing the limits of the wheelchair that certified me for this opportunity. What I thought would ruin my life has given me more than I ever could have earned on my own two feet.

Quote: How many stairs?

Mark Daniel, Pilot

Designer, evaluator, and user representative, Mark was born and raised in Pensacola. As a young adult, he graduated high school early and pursued a career in ironwork. First going to trade school for diesel mechanics, then learning how to weld and fabricate. In 2007, at eighteen years old, Mark started his career and began planning his next steps. Working long hours in risky conditions was exciting at first, but after five months the work took its toll. He fell asleep driving home, flipping his SUV several times, and awoke in the ICU of a local hospital. After learning of his paralysis, he set out to regain his independence.

In 2010 Mark evaluated IHMC’s first iteration exoskeleton, and again in 2013 for the second. In February 2016 he rejoined the team as a research intern to evaluate the third iteration and prepare for the Cybathlon. Mark placed second in the Cybathlon, winning the silver medal. Since the Cybathlon he has taken on the American Discovery Trail, which covers 4,834 miles from the Atlantic coast in Delaware to the Pacific in San Francisco.

Top 3 Hot Point Takeaways:

1. What it takes to relearn a new way of the young adult life.
2. Learning the teamwork to create something to help others with.
3. Remember to leave behind your worries to create a more positive future.

00:30 – Introduction

11:45 – Accidents come along. From the outside looking in, even in my position at the moment, looking at the situation that I was in, it seems like a huge detriment for me. 18-years-old, just starting my adult life, then for the accident to happen, have to restart and figure it all out all over again. But you know, I’m 31 now, it’ll be 13 years in October, and, and really, looking back at the situation, it couldn’t have come at a better time. I say that at 18 years old, I figured out my life, I had a career plan, I was on that plan, and I was moving forward. But I mean, really looking at the experiences up till then I grew up riding dirt bikes, go-karts, four-wheelers, skateboards, bicycles, running through the woods, fishing, hunting, you know, the good, healthy, youthful adrenaline life.

20:00 – In 2010 and I met all of the engineers and everybody working on the project. There were so many different engineers, interns, and all that have worked on the project in and out, but we really just have an awesome team here. I’ve been graced to work with them all really, I mean, all the people that I work with here, there’s Tyson in the glasses there on the right, Peter on the left, and that’s Jeremy. All these people that I’ve known for so long and the opportunity to spend time with, and they have taught me so much. We’ve really just worked together so hard to come this far. I’m just really grateful for all these people, especially the team that we have now. They’re working super hard.

30:45 – I turned 18-years-old, and I spent five months of my adult life learning, really getting into the rungs of adult life. I’m not putting myself up there like a martyr. But that was all taken away from me, and it’s really taken me up to this point to where I feel comfortable. I’m happy enough with my own abilities that I can share more with other people. It took so long for me to really accept the fact that this is where I’m going to stay in my best role. Which is to help make sure that other people don’t have to suffer from some of the ways that I did.

40:00 – Over the past 10 years here at ihmc, to get to the version that we’re at now with the exoskeleton, and as grateful as I am for that. I’m looking still looking toward the future and there are so many things going on right now. We are coming out with QUIX, we’ll be done with that, and I’ll be walking hopefully within the next couple of weeks

46:15 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

There’s so much that you can leave behind for people. But really, the biggest thing is, leave behind your worries about yourself and your own. You know what you think you’re not capable of. Anytime you think you’re not capable of something, remember that you’re always capable of going out there and failing and trying. You’d rather do that than look back and realize that I could have done this, but I never tried.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:00 – I tell them that in my marriage, I was a workaholic. I focused on work single-mindedly. When we are overly focused, and a lot of men do that, we just ignore all the other areas. Very quickly, all those areas, start to deteriorate, including our relationships, health, and our friendships. They all need our attention. That’s the point because our life is exactly that, it is everything is intertwined. It’s just like our body. It’s a feedback system. When we smile, we feel good. So it’s a feedback loop.

19:45 – You know, like the very first one I think I started with is people actually come into a relationship not to give, but to get.

25:45 – Just a quick reminder, I am very big on this tip that I mentioned before, which is being missed by many. The value of having to have enough space is very important. The other thing is actually making sure that you have those daily intimate moments. Hugging, kissing, holding hands, these are all important and I recommend to them on a daily basis.

30:00 – Another thing is being creative, really looking for ways to maybe scan your laptop and then go work outside for a few hours.

41:00 – For me, the important part of coaching is accepting the person as they are. I’m not there to change them, if a guy feels happy by being addicted to porn, that’s not necessarily my job to change him and to try to improve him in a way that I see things. Going back to your original question about the system that I use. My general idea is that I pursue using that system by setting goals and going into specifics about each goal that is to help the person achieve what they want. So for example, let’s say a guy is addicted to porn, and at the same time, he wants better results in his career. I might think that these are both areas that we need to work on. He might think that he only needs to work on the career thing and if he wants that, I will help him with the career thing. I won’t even engage in porn addiction because, again, it’s not my job to “fix” people.

51:00 – Fail Forward, there is, this is one good statement. The general idea is to be able to start with the very worst version of what you want. But as long as it works, if it works, it’s fine. Like, start with a draft.

53:25 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

We talked about all those different life areas, life zones, and relationship is one of them. So for example, if you spent eight hours working every day, so we spent eight hours on your career, the area of your career, you can’t put any hours into your relationship. I mean, maybe you need to put some hours into the relationship area as well. It requires work it requires being intentional, it requires conscious effort, just like your work does. This is very important to understand because people have this, as the Iranian belief that they already know how to make relationships work. As if by default, they know it, and they are often wrong. So they think that their relationship will be great. Even if they don’t, it doesn’t really need any work and I think that’s the main issue with our relationships today. They do require quite a lot of effort and if we ignore them, they tend to deteriorate. So like, try to use the same approach as you use it with your work. You read books, like in your profession, your career, your business, or whatever, read a book about relationships, and don’t just read it, but also apply it.

00:30 – Introduction

08:45 – Yoga is really beneficial if it’s done very actively as well. But this is the other side of yoga, if you talk about introspection, that’s exactly where this Slow Yoga fits. It’s a kind of going inward to look more inside your internal space to let the body breathe and to express itself.

14:30 – That guilt of I need to be doing more because there’s always more to be done. Because your job never ends. They’ll say there’s always something to do. At times it is a self-imposed feeling of actually I should be doing something.

20:00 – It is about developing that self-awareness to realize, how am I feeling at any given point, and then allowing yourself some time to walk around the house, walk around kind of clear the air. Somehow go for a walk if you can, if it’s your allotted daily walk, then go right now.

30:00 – Relating to pescatarian or in Su’s case vegetarian… So it’s cool. I respect it. I tell people that listen, if you find something that works with your biology, your gut health, and you live a healthy, sustainable high energy life, then great!

40:00 – Sometimes you have to go and not get so caught up with all of that, because life doesn’t work like that. So it’s kind of naming it as well to everybody knows this is a transition period, you know, things might look a bit different for now. Then we have to come together and reconnect. Same with clients. If we’re online, and we never used to be online, maybe now we need to reconnect on what’s okay, what’s not okay.

50:00 – Canceling of our prior course that I run with my husband, notifying everyone that they’re all off while they’ve all been up for it, that was hard. But they’ve all got on board and the new course that I’ve just finished, that was for a college that I’m not working for anymore. A couple of those really strong students did really struggle, so that was harder. That was definitely harder because the lesson isn’t for us all to just meet up, it’s also how to meet yourself, where you meet yourself, and then try to come out with what you’re familiar with, your comfort zones.

59:59 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

Know that you have worth and that you are worth it. Basically, you’re worth having a life, you’re worthy of having a life that is lived on your terms, you’re worthy of being you, the real you. Do not let anybody sway you differently or persuade you that you’re not worth it. Because you are!

Our Final Words of the Show:

This is more relevant to the times we find ourselves in with respect to Corona and the adversity people are facing rather than our work directly, although there are interrelations between peak performance and flow and stoicism, I’m a huge fan of stoic philosophy it’s incredible as Tim Ferriss calls an operating system for life and decision making. There’s a quote that is potentially relevant to a lot of people right now, which is that what obstructs the path becomes the path that I’ve always found incredibly helpful to remember. Another way to put it is that Ryan Holiday uses as one of the titles of his books is the obstacles away. In other words, what it is that we’re facing is the thing that we’re supposed to be facing. So it’s just a matter of learning how to perceive it as positively as possible and then do our absolute best in the face of it.

This is a special reconnection session with Trey Downes of Your Superior Self Podcast:

In this episode, Trey Downes returns and we discuss lifestyle choices, starting with diet. This is a jointly released podcast that he also shared on his own show back in February 2020. You can listen to me back on his show Your Superior Self on podcast episodes Scott is a repeat guest and you can listen to him back on episode #39. Visit https://www.yoursuperiorself.com

Quote: There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self. – Ernest Hemmingway 

A super-condensed version of Trey’s story:

3 years ago I was silently working in my career. Not really wanting anything different. It’s funny, I’m not sure if the term is “woke” or “awaken”, however; I became conscious of a burning need to be more. I can’t really explain why, maybe its related to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, maybe I climbed the pyramid, and the last piece of the puzzle of the American Dream was self-actualization. Anyway, I started searching for external things to make me feel like I was growing. I started the podcast because I thought that I could grow it quickly and become rich and famous. I became “that guy” looking for sponsorships and quick ways to earn a buck for the podcast, to show that I was successful. I busted my ass and nearly lost everything, because of the need to prove myself.

To make a long story short, I became aware of what I truly am, a source of higher consciousness. I became aware that “I” was creating goals, and those goals would never end. I would continue killing myself for the rest of my life trying to crush these goals that weren’t “real”. I mean “real” in the sense of fulfillment. The goals could produce physical rewards, but none would ever fill that bucket.

The real reward is NOW. Right now. This sec. Can you be in this moment, with your body and mind, and just be. Can you create enough silence in your mind to hear your true self? My true self wants to be heard. The universe is helping me prepare my message. The podcast is my tool for growth.

The podcast is teaching me how to be in the moment with some pretty righteous people from all walks of life. It’s hard. To give yourself fully to someone you don’t know, and to have an authentic conversation, where you show the other person who you truly are. No judging, just connection, and flow. These are some of the best conversations I’ve ever had. I really hope you enjoy them. There is no particular order, just find one that you like and binge the rest.

Life is not about how much you obtain, it’s about how much you learn.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:00 – He’s like, why don’t we take the scallops entree, the salmon entree, and my favorite, is the octopus tentacle because they roast it, it’s amazing. So why don’t we just put all three on a plate? I’m like, dude, you’re talking my language, load it up. He’s like, no sides, and I said you’re damn right.

20:00 – Obviously FAT A Documentary explains all of that around healthy fats. I wish Game Changers would have explained that better because fats are needed even in a vegan and vegetarian lifestyle. I don’t eat fruit, let me clarify this. There are two pieces of fruit that I eat and they are fatty fruits, avocados, and olives. They’re healthy fats. So they’re not a sugar bomb from Mother Nature.

30:00 – I’ve interviewed the biologists on that too. Again, they don’t talk about this stuff in the Game Changers movie. They keep saying well plant-based proteins are just as good. Well no they are not, it’s not biologically the same. I’ve interviewed the experts, so sorry, this lack of science points drive me nuts. When people just throw the surface level info out there and they don’t back any of it up. They just move on to the next subject.

40:00 – That’s how we got this all started doing this month, two months, three months in crowdfunding fundraising. By pretty much two-three weeks, it was open longer, but I mean, we were ready to rip the lid off for like a good 60 to 90 days. Then as soon as they had enough money, he started hiring the film crew and getting everything in motion for FATDOC.

50:00 – Think about it, if you go back 50 years, just think about how much sugar we actually had in our lifestyle back then. Look at the level of manufactured foods and preserved foods we have today on the shelves in a grocery store. The way my dad brought me up, it was simple eggs and bacon every day. My dad’s now Type II Diabetic, he’s overweight, and he’s on diabetes drugs because he’s forgotten these things.

59:45 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

Beer is basically all grains, liquid grains. If I drink now, it’s distilled grains, Bourbons and Scotches. So I’m actually not kidding you there. Drinking beer is totally inflammatory. That’s why you see another increase in obesity. Why do you think a lot of heavy heavy beer drinkers might look like they’re pregnant? Now if you drink bourbons and scotches, they are still toxins. Thanks to the distillation process that is used to create and turn grains into alcohol, it removes all of the inflammatory impurities. But yes, you’re still basically straight drinking a sterile poison if that makes sense. Because it’s how the body looks at it anyway.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:00 – I found myself having to deal with the fallout of that alone. Then as it came out that he was a compulsive liar and all this other nonsense, I actually ended up miscarrying the baby. So then that was like a whole new emotional depth that I hit. There was a point where I considered ending it all, I was literally seconds away from stepping out in front of a taxi to just because it was the only way I could think of to end my pain.

20:00 – I have people whose parents gave them everything growing up, except their time. People who came from nothing, they got plenty of time but gained negative money beliefs. So we all have challenges that we have to face. They show up differently from one another and I think as a society we need to stop judging each other. Whether you were from the good side of the tracks or you were from the bad side of the tracks or you’re this religion or your this political affiliation. When we strip it all away, we all have the same funnel, mental challenges, and stresses with fears that we have to overcome if we choose to do the work.

30:00 – So some of the things that I like to recommend to people like if they’re not able to work with a coach, such as myself, is to actually go through the process of offloading.

40:00 – Ultimately, pain is our greatest catalyst for change. Sometimes it takes the painful moments, for me, it was more so the miscarriage for me that triggered it but also the infinite possibility with my ex to say, you know what, I don’t want this type of relationship.

50:00 – So maybe the virtual thing is the way to go. The Limitless League is probably the one that most people join.

01:01:40 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

We are all here for a reason. I think that the most important part of a self-development and self-healing journey is figuring out what that reason is. It’s going to be a little bit different than your why. I look at it as what is the legacy or what is your purpose in life. Because that gives meaning to everything else that you do. It makes decisions easier to make. It makes it easier to get out of bed in the morning. It makes Monday mornings more fun to look forward to. If life was a road trip, what is your ultimate destination? Like when you are on your deathbed, where do you want to have arrived? Because that’s going to give intention and meaning along with energy and light to everything that you do.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

14:50 – I typically get the airfare and hotel covered. I wind up paying for the food for events.

19:00 – Yes and no, the part that’s the no is the fact that it involves effort, right? It’s easy to say, and it’s hard to do. Sometimes you really don’t know what the right thing to do is? For example, I got a blister, but I’m not an expert. There are other experts out there that I can go talk to, there are solutions. There are ways to figure out what’s going on. If you’re in an industry like podcasting, it’s still pretty young. So sometimes there are people out there and sometimes there is nobody out there.

21:00 – Marathon training. At one point, my wife was frustrated because I went running at a time she wanted me to be doing something else. So we had a conversation about it. She’s like, yeah, you need to keep running. So we worked it out. So then I was running longer and longer, my Saturday was running 16 miles. So then I did it and I completed the marathon.

25:00 – So let’s look at the book, right? I’ve been talking about it. Do I get the book do I not? What’s gonna happen? I finally said you know what, if I put some money behind it, it’ll force me to do something with it. That was my switch flip for me.

28:00 – You also did something a little crazy beforehand to get yourself ready for the marathon. Something called 75 hard. It was pretty viral online. Your journey on the 75 Hard was not easy. Yeah, I think all told I did like 120 Hard after the restarts.

34:03 – I had a month and a half’s worth of money in the bank. I just told my wife, look, if we run out of money and we can’t pay the mortgage, then I’ll go take a job. I’ll do a job search simultaneous with my client search and it just worked out. We never ran out of money.

40:00 – I don’t know why I didn’t do it sooner, but eventually, I got around to changing my tweet to If you’re finding me for the first time, go listen to the podcasts. At that point, the other thing that had happened was all of my defenders came out. So when things first went down, I had a few people come to me privately and say, look, I’m with you, but I can’t get involved.

50:00 – In this case, being quiet was actually the right course of action. A lot of these other folks came out, but it also made me feel better because I realized that I had all these people in my corner? I wasn’t alone dealing with this, which made a big difference too.

55:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

So I’ve kind of been joking that I kind of accidentally found my way into podcasting, and I kind of accidentally found my way into being a software developer too. But what it really boiled down to was I found the things that I really, naturally enjoyed and felt like I could succeed at. I guess if there’s just one thought over the last, what 13-14 years that I’ve been either programming or podcasting is that every time I try and do something that’s not who I am, you know whether it’s not standing up for something I believe in or not going after something that I really want, or not trying to build something that matters. I’m not happy, right?

So if there’s one real message that I can put out there to people, it’s hey, go out there and take a chance on the thing that you love. See if you can make it work. Because in a lot of cases, what happens is, you take a couple of steps into the darkness, and then you realize there’s a whole path leading up the mountain to where you want to end up

I don’t know if that works for everybody. But it seems like most of the people that do extraordinary things, that’s kind of where they end up, they find that place where they belong, they find that thing that really lights up their spirit. Then they go and do it. They stay true to themselves while they do it, and it pays off. I don’t know how to put that more eloquently. But that’s kind of where I’m at.

What is a Narcissist, Narcissism, and a Public Service Announcement to Free Debbie from Domestic Abuse and Violence:

Debbie’s own words are below. We want to preface this by saying if we exceed our campaign goal, we will work together to make a donation to a Women’s Shelter, Community Center, or Transitional Housing to be named at a later date. Thank you in advance, your Campaign Advocate ~ Scott Mulvaney. Now here are Debbie’s current life transparency words:

I’m a victim of domestic violence, and I’ve now learned there’s nowhere to turn. With your help, I can avoid being a casualty.

Like most women, I never thought I would be here. Yet I am, I’m living with emotional and verbal abuse, worrying if each day it will turn to physical.

It started slowly. The first time he threatened me, I wrote it off as a mistake. The next time, I blamed myself. Then, I declared it would be the “last time.” It wasn’t. After a while, I stopped bothering to make excuses. The abuse started to feel normal. Recently, things have gotten worse, it’s bad enough now that I have realized I need to run or I will die this way.

He’s a functional alcoholic, who fires off insults and gaslights my every move. While he doesn’t remember what he’s said or done the night before he denies it ever happens and blames it on me. He’s threatened to lock me out, has drawn a fist and aimed it at my face and told me to get the hell out, and take nothing. Everything, to his way of thinking, belongs to him. 30 minutes too long at the grocery and I’ve been with a ‘boyfriend’, and that sets off another round of insults. Nothing is my business, (I’m his wife right?) his health, his finances, nothing. Nothing is shared by him. He has to know the details of every penny I spend. His tossing a beloved pet across the room triggered my breaking point.

I would just leave but I cannot afford to leave everything behind. As a woman of a certain age, it’s hard to recoup financially to be able to start over. Although I have contributed to our household, as well as furniture and household goods that I purchased myself, he says I have no right them. Not even my personal clothes. I have pets that I love and do not want to abandon. I need to escape.

I work, but paying medical bills from a recent surgery has left my coffers drained. (He is my husband, but refuses to pay my medical expenses) He pays toward rent and utilities, part but not full, but the rest of everything is on me. This campaign is to help me get the resources I need to leave quickly and safely, with the goal of raising funds by March 15, 2020.

I’m tired y’all, really tired. I’m scared if I don’t get out now, I won’t, at least not whole anyway.  I hate airing my “dirty laundry” but what I’ve been told is that I’m deserving of help, and this is not my shame, it’s his. I’m asking for help to restart my life where I can live peacefully and without fear.

~ Debbie

Here is the breakdown of the minimum of what I need from the $7300 minimum:

$3K upfront to attorney

$3K for 3 months of living, rent, and utility expenses

$800 movers (can’t lift anything myself due to recent shoulder surgery)

$500 running money

Top 3 Hot Point Takeaways:

1. Develop a supportive circle of trust
2. Create the escape plan
3. Work with law enforcement

10:00: Geeking out about Wildfire, Wildland Firefighting, the fire seasons, and more.

20:00: Cal-Fire exists because California is so prone to wildfires because they are so big, they are so exposed, they are so dry, and they’re so heavily populated. That’s why they have such a huge budget and they literally call it Cal-Fire and California manages most of the wildfires themselves, with an impressive Air Force too.

30:00: You want us to go climb the highest peak on the planet? I mean, it’s like for sure. It’s an endurance feat and all that, but it’s not exploratory. It’s not really a wilderness experience. Whereas we spent the whole summer in the Pakistani Karakoram, for climbing an uncommon 7000-meter peak.

40:00: We want to buy real stuff from real people. We want to see people utilizing it authentically and well especially when you got some of your documentaries, some of your stories to share too.

The importance of being bold, being safe, and being smart. Think about what you do and the influence you have on those around you. To just be working on creating the kind of world that we want to live in. It’s kind of that simple. So that’s what I would love to encourage to the listeners.

If you’re constantly watching drama TV, listening to the negative news networks, standing around the water cooler if you’re at the job and listen to that person bitch and moan every single day about how their life sucks, or their wife sucks or their boyfriend sucks, etc, etc, etc. That is all, negative flow man, that’s negative energy, so cut that crap out!

Maybe you’re not ready to go to the gym yet, even though you set that goal on New Year’s Eve, right? Oh man, I said I would go New Year’s Eve. Oh well get over it. Try again tomorrow! Give yourself a break. Take a deep breath, make your lists, check them twice, and all that fun stuff.

00:30: Introduction

10:15: What are those moments where you’re triggered positively and negatively knowing that it can actually help with your connection. It can inform you with how you tell it. Hey, look, this is just not as a situation or a good environment for me. I noticed that I do this and then you are the partner, or anyone you’re talking to can say.

18:45: I say this all the time. In a world of nuance, we’re governed by binary systems. So it’s either this or that. What happens is people are either seen as trolls or politically correct.

30:20:  If you don’t have the ability to choose courage over comfort, we’re going to be in a tricky place where we’re not saying what we mean. We don’t want to offend someone.

39:00: It happens on all ends of the spectrum. It’s not when people bring that privilege, it’s not to shame you at least I don’t do it to shame anyone. It’s more for the point that this is the reality for some people. It just happens.

47:25: Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

It’s about getting to the point where everybody’s growing together. That’s one thing that I could wish for everybody, as soon as you can get out of that negative mindset and find a positive energy. We’re still going to get beat up day in day out, let’s be real. When you got that tribe around you, man, that energy that you get to hold each other accountable to and keep that positive growth on alignment. That’s exciting!

Timestamped Show Notes:

• 00:30 Introduction
• 11:24 I have got the Hotshots book that’s going to benefit my new FUEL Foundations. I’ve got the annual fallen firefighters workout that we do in the F13 Performance, and more. All of this is now benefiting the foundation and then obviously the foundation will be able to give back as we see fit. I now even moved our Jordan Creek Singletrack projects under that because I’ve been paying out of my pocket forever and I still will. However, we need a foundation to build support and positive charitable growth.
• 10:30 I’m not taking any profit. Let’s be real here, one thing I’ve learned in this self-publishing school mastermind group and learn from other authors, is that you’re not going to become rich. It’s just a passion project to give back.
• 20:00 My wife calls me on my shit and loves to quote Joe Rogan.
• 23:28 As we continue to grow and succeed, you will attract the haters along with the lovers. You have got to sort through the mess, keep rolling with it, keep punching through it, and keep taking that imperfect action.
• 28:30 Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

You have got to figure out your day. You have got to figure out what fires you up. Maybe you have a side hustle in you. Maybe you have a business in you that you’ve always wanted to kind of play around with.

You know what, life is short. If you don’t like your job, or your career, CHANGE IT! It might not happen in six months or two years, but at least you will have something going on that helps you feel free. Find that free time that fires you up. If anything, I find too many things to fire me up these days.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [00:30] Introduction
• [10:00] I served on that Horseshoe Fire alongside the Granite Mountain Hotshots and the Pleasant Valley Hotshots, my crew.
• [14:00] I realized, wait a minute, it’s about the power of community. I’ve been on countless charities, I’ve been on boards, I’ve done fundraising events, I’ve done countless charity bike rides. So clearly, I love charity work and I love giving back. I love volunteerism, but I can only do so much by myself. So that’s what inspired me to write the book but also to create the foundation.
• [20:00] I can’t outsource writing my book. I’m not going to outsource this voice on this microphone because I am your host and I am Living The Fuel. So I just need a little bit of time freedom. I need you guys to be patient with me, so thank you in advance. I know I’m not really asking permission because it is my show. However, please feel free to get back to me, email me, message me, I’m open for feedback. In the meantime, keep sharing the show. I want to see if the show actually grows over the next month without new shows coming out. I’ve never done this is kind of break aka retreat, so it will be interesting to see the results.
• [22:00] The firefighting world deserves them along with our fans of firefighters. So I want to make sure people can buy them. The proceeds are going to help get FUEL Foundations off the ground. More importantly, I have to get this done, the charity must get established.
• [26:00] Final Words

Final Words:

Again, feel free to reach out to me during the sabbatical, I’m not going anywhere. We are committed to get this book done guys. We’re getting it out there, so stay tuned!

Thanks for listening. Thanks for helping us celebrate our 300th show with me. Thank you for letting me go solo in your ears, and be honest, be transparent, be vulnerable. I hope this impacts you and maybe another friend, a colleague, a family member in a positive way too.

Please share, let me know. Your voice matters. Thanks for tuning in. Remember, we’re here to “FUEL Your Health, your Business and your Lifestyle. Yes, you too can definitely LIVE THE FUEL!

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [00:30] Introduction
• [10:00] If your mind isn’t in it, you’re not going to get the results. With motivational interviewing, you have to do a lot with people that come in and kind of gauge where they’re at. Especially working out, it’s mental as much as it is physical.
• [20:00] In reference to Blind, RP, I can see maybe three to five feet in front of me on a good day. The other big characteristic of RP is what we call tunnel vision. So it’s like looking through a straw, you don’t have any peripheral vision, you can’t see on the side. I can’t see directly above me or underneath me.
• [30:35] I think the reason why psychological pharmaceutical drugs get a bad name is that general physicians are handing them out like candy. They don’t really understand what is good for what and for how long and the dosage.
• [41:00] I’m what you call a licensed professional counselor in turn. So you know how doctors when they pass boards, they become an intern, and then they become a resident. The same thing goes for mental health counselors, which I don’t think a lot of people understand. Not everyone can just be a legitimate licensed professional counselor.
• [52:00] When I have phone consultations, sometimes at the end, I disclose that I’m blind. Sometimes I’ll just let them show up to their first session, and then they find out. I’m never really hesitant about that. I know once you come in with that first training session with me, you’re fucking coming back, because I’m a damn good trainer!
• [01:06:00] In bodybuilding and fitness modeling, nobody got there by being lazy. I’m taking some time off to really grow. I need to grow in certain parts of my body, mostly my legs. I’m a tall girl, I have giraffe legs.
• [01:10:00] I think the most I ever deadlifted as I was training for a show, for bodybuilding, was like 185 lbs. That was the most I ever deadlifted. Now for my first day, the other week, I did three sets of three reps at 250 lbs.
• [01:29:00] Final Words

Final Words:

“Find Your Why”

It’s three words, find your why I think for anything in life. This goes for whether it’s your fitness, your career, friendships that you’re maintaining or if you’re thinking about cutting off a relationship. This also goes for if you’re taking the leap of faith and starting a new business venture. Just anything in general, I think you should always find your why. That’s going to give you the answers that you’re looking for and help dictate your decisions moving forward.

Pop-Tarts suck, Wilderness 101 is no joke, and the FATDOC film review with Brian Strauser:

Brian Strauser of the Strauser Project returns to discuss his Wilderness 101 race training and his review of the new release of the FATDOC aka FAT: a documentary film release from Vinnie Tortorich, Peter Pardini, and Serena Scott Thomas.

The Strauser Project is stepping up for the younger generation and others, blazing out a trail for others to follow. Brian is a guy with tremendous heart and wears his emotions on his sleeve… along with a few tattoos too!

Quote: Pop-Tarts Suck – Brian Strauser

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. Wilderness 101 aka the W101 Race is Insane!
2. Watch the FAT: a documentary film aka FATDOC
3. Pop-Tarts Suck!

[spp-tweet tweet=”Pop-Tarts Suck! discussing W101 Ultra Race and film review of the #FATDOC #StrauserProject @vinnietortorich You Too Can LIVETHEFUEL! @livethefuel “]

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] You can’t even explain this to people that haven’t experienced the Wilderness 101 and actually have done it or been there. It was amazing the amount of climbing just to get up to the top of that day.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] I think a Specialized fat bike came in and it was like 13 hours or there’s like 12 hours and 50 some minutes. He comes rolling in on his fat bike and that’s just insanity!
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] Most people that don’t race or haven’t put themselves through this type of thing, don’t understand that getting sweaty is a challenge. What people don’t understand is when you’re wet and your equipment is rubbing back and forth on your legs, you might as well have 100 grit sandpaper. You’ll get Rashed beyond belief or bleed in places just like runners have happened, where their nipples are bleeding just from their shirt rubbing.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] The government and these people are supposed to be watching after us and taking care of us. Like everything else, it’s more about the money and all the bullshit. Ever since I had this little girl, as a baby and watching her grow up, I now get more involved with the worrying about the types of stuff that I’m putting in her mouth.
• [spp-timestamp time=”50:00″] So much of it goes back to diet, that’s what fuels us, it’s what makes us what we are. If you’re not putting the right things in and instead of putting chemicals and all of the sprays and the stuff that goes into manufactured foods.
• [spp-timestamp time=”54:00″] It’s hard to wrap your brain around it and think that some guy is trying to screw you over by selling me a pop-tart, well that can’t be that bad. Well, it is that bad, Pop-Tarts Suck!
• [spp-timestamp time=”56:00″] Final Words

Final Words:

The biggest thing I would say to anybody is to keep an open mind. This has been an awesome ride ever since I met you a number of years ago. I think it’s been three to four years ago now. Ever since I went out and suffered in the woods and it was a little bit of comfort there too. While I was standing underneath that bridge, watching you pull up in the middle of the W101 and knowing that I just put you through that pain and suffering. Part of that was pretty exciting. But the one thing that all of this stuff has kind of done for me is open my eyes to just being more open to different things. You know, I never was into this type of stuff. I’ve now read more books in the past four years than I probably read in the past 40.

It’s been a blast. You know, anybody watching in this stuff, check out this FATDOC, it was a great story. I told my wife as soon as I watched it and said something to her. I don’t care if I gotta put my family in a car, go to Staten Island to visit with one of her family members, I’ll put it on in my truck so nobody can get away from it. They’re just gonna listen to it because it’s amazing information that’s out there now. Somebody can definitely get something from it. It’s not stuff that I would have been following in the past and it’s definitely things that I’ve been opened up to more recently. It’s just been a great ride to learn all this stuff.

Crowdfunding the new Delta Shovel with Badass Shovels, Susan Pieper of DMOS Collective:

DMOS began as a passion project back home in Wyoming after watching my son break shovel after shovel trying to build kicker jumps in our backyard. Many years and countless hard lessons later, we’ve managed to get enough things right to have a serious impact on people, professions and industries that we respect the hell out of.

So as we continue to grow and understand our own potential every day, we appreciate you taking the time to get to know us a little more also.

Quote: “No excuses. No worries. No regrets. No fear. Go all in.”

DMOS MISSION

We are driven to bring manufacturing back to the United States, creating jobs, stable communities and a lighter footprint on our planet.

DMOS VISION

We elevate the art of digging through our innovative designs.

Top 3 Promises:

1. We promise to make the ordinary extraordinary.

3. If you don’t love DMOS, we’ll give you your money back.

[spp-tweet tweet=”Get your Delta Shovel and support the Kickstarter! You Too Can LIVETHEFUEL! @DMOSCollective “]

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”05:25″] Do you just get tired of snapping shovels which I’ve done for years?
• [spp-timestamp time=”08:55″] DMOS got started by building the perfect what we call the kicker tool. We got our start in snow really innovating from plastic snow shovels into purpose-built aircraft, aluminum, badass tools that were perfect for building a kicker and then your shovel the OG Alpha really was a foray into a broader market, which was people aren’t don’t just need a kicker tool, they need a driveway shovel, and then they need a truck shovel.
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:15″] You just have to prove upon yourself your own inventions before your competitors do and DMOS, so far, has no real competition in what we do well. Which is, we make the best hands down shovels that are purpose-built for I would say any vehicle-based work because of the telescoping into locking shaft.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] I was actually a navigator last year with a driver and DMOS was a sponsor of the Rebelle but the vehicle was not quite fully DMOS. So this year, we are fully DMOS, it’s Team DMOS.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] Then I realized, wait a minute, she’s redoing the old school military stuff. So that is why we really created the Delta Shovel tool.
• [spp-timestamp time=”41:00″] So my son went to the Free World Junior Freeride World Tour in Kappl, Austria. He’s 17 now, so this is the senior year. I was super proud of him at the Beartooth Basin because I saw him really charge it at the beginning of the run, which is off the cornice, he backed up about 20 feet, and he charged it.
• [spp-timestamp time=”56:00″] Final Words

Final Words:

I think it is the single all-encompassing thought is. Do something that matters and do it well!

Succeed through the power of Quitting today, so let’s Quit Quickly!:

Dr. Stanley G. Robertson grew up in a project building on the south side of Chicago. He pleaded temporary insanity and joined the Marine Corps; then trained as a lawyer and earned a doctorate in business. Jack Canfield, the creator of Chicken Soup for the Soul, calls Dr. Stan the coolest person he knows; and predicts that Dr. Stan’s new book Quit will be a bestseller.

Dr. Stan has come to be known as “the quit doctor” because of his relentless determination to heal the world of the stigma and shame associated with the concept of quitting. He is an author, coach, and speaker.

A professional football player quit during halftime. A military commander quit his troops to be with his family. People who quit are often ridiculed and shamed because we are a hyper-performance-based society where “quit” is a dirty word.

But without the ability to quit, it is impossible to achieve success. No one knows this better than Dr. Stan. He quit the Marine Corps and earned a law degree, and quit being a thief and earned a doctorate.

There are countless situations of everyday individuals who struggle over the decision to quit because of the emotional stigma associated with the concept.

But the notion that “winners never quit” is a myth. The truth is that winners quit all the time. Michael Jordan quit baseball and won a 3-peat; Thomas Jefferson quit Great Britain and started America; The Rock quit wrestling and became an action star; Arnold Schwarzenegger quit being an action star and became a governor.

Dr. Stan has come to be known as “the quit doctor” because of his relentless determination to heal the world of the stigma and shame associated with the concept of quitting. He is an author, coach, and speaker.

Top 4 Hot Points – Stan’s Steps to Q.U.I.T.:

1. Quit Quickly
2. Understand the Negative Emotions
3. Initiate New Goals
4. Transform Your Behavior

[spp-tweet tweet=”It’s time to Quit quickly to succeed in Health, Business, and in Life with Dr. Stan Robertson! @livethefuel “]

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] She said I quit. Okay, so quitting is good. This is the point. Quitting is a good thing. Quitting frees you, it’s how we’re locked into the cycle. Why should you continue swimming? This is not a priority. This is not at the top of my list, so I’m, pushing it down on the list.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] My point is that now if she finally gave up the relationship, she gave up the business. She was overweight. She had been fat-shamed and all this stuff, not just by her but in general, others. Then she lost all the weight after she left him for good, to rebuild herself.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] If you do a lot of things and you quit a lot of things, the more things you quit, the faster you’re going to get to where you’re trying to go. So people who are okay with quitting, people who are okay with making mistakes, they’re going to get there a lot faster than the person who says I can’t make this mistake.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] What are you going to do next? How do you get from point A to point B? There is a process that you go through, there are some steps that you should engage in. There are four steps to help you through this.
• [spp-timestamp time=”50:00″] Those guys recognize that if they are going to be successful, they need to know when to give up something and reposition themselves. Quit if you’re doing it because you just don’t like the thing and you don’t enjoy it anymore. Quit, if you’re doing it because you’re not good at it. If you’re doing it because life circumstances dictate that you do something different, then great, quit. These are all good reasons to give up things.
• [spp-timestamp time=”01:02:30″] Final Words

Final Words:

There’s one thing and it relates to this concept of quitting and that is that one of the things that I encourage people to do is create for themselves a quick list. So a quick list is just something that you can commit to. It is for where things go that you can give up in your life that are no longer serving you. For example, you just decide that these don’t work for me or you don’t want to do it anymore, it’s a dead end. If it’s not giving you any good return for your investment, whatever the issue is, create this list and call it your quit list. Take that list to identify the areas in your life where you need to purge and then figure out what things you can give up to make yourself better so that you can get to your goals and your success a lot faster.

Final Words:

I know the big thing that I want for the people who I get the privilege of being in their world, is, I want you to know that whatever it is you’re struggling with, for me, it was both my health, it was competence, it was thinking that no man would ever want to marry me if he knew I was so broken, right? So broken.

Anything that it is that you want to create for you, for your body, for your life, for your health, it is absolutely possible! However, you have got to have that dog eat determination and faith that you can heal, that you can move through this. A big part of that is going to be you’re above all of it, it’s going to be your belief that you can succeed at it. So just like he and I were talking about in entrepreneurship, you have to have that dogged determination you have to keep that focus in the faith and let go of the how we get so stuck on the how. You don’t need to know that how you just need to know that come hell or high water, you are doing this damn it! When you keep that front and center, whatever you’re struggling with in your relationships in your life and your money in your heart and your health, all of that can be overcome and I am living proof of that.

The post 279: The Being Badass Healthy Lifestyle appeared first on LIVETHEFUEL.

MMA Fighter Turned Trainer, Coach, and Mindset Buff, Welcome Clifford Starks:

I graduated in Kinesiology in 2005 and became a personal trainer. I also became a professional fighter in 2009-2017. It has always been more than just transforming the body though, the mind and spirit play key factors to one’s success. Which I definitely learned through my journey as a fighter and a coach. I have been honored to be given the opportunity to work with many clients on their mind, body, and spirit. Helping other’s live happier more fulfilled lives.

Quote: The opportunities are in the obstacles. – Clifford Starks

I realized just how important the mind was in the process of accomplishing any real success. I became extremely fascinated with psychology also had my personal life experience to pull from as well. I am always learning and growing. I love the saying if knowledge was all it took everyone would have 6 packs and be Millionaires. Knowledge is good to have, but applied knowledge is better, so I continue to take action. To grow as a person and a leader is the same as health, you never stop.

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. Lessons learned from MMA Fighting
2. Training and Coaching others
3. Your Mindset and Your Story

Final Words:

What it all comes down to is that there’s greatness in you. Simply put, sometimes you have to put in the energy to really see it there. Sometimes, you have difficult times, and all of those difficult times, all of those hard pressure moments, are all life lessons. It’s all part of the story that you’re going to be able to tell somebody at the end of the day. So make it your best one and make it a great one. Go all in on your story. Because no one else is going to have yours.

Influencers Mentioned:

• Jim Rohn Quote: “You Are The Average of the Five People You Spend the Most Time With.”

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] In order to crush the bad, we have to look it directly in the face. With that being said, it is important to build a solid base and your solid base are the people you do hang around with. That’s the reset button that will teach you to go right into your default. I can hang out with five people who are in crappy situations who are down. I feel so strong in my abilities, I think so strong in my belief in self, that I could bring them up.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] My first thing is I love them. I empathize and I love because the one thing I’ve seen is people will fight for what they love. You know, I swear, everyone that’s gone through a process, it’s because someone they loved, they’ve either disappointed or they didn’t.
• [spp-timestamp time=”32:00″] I say the opportunities are in the obstacles. There are going to be obstacles in life, that’s just the way it goes. There is no perfect road and you have to live on an imperfect road.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] It all starts with the internal. So it’s not to say that you don’t feel things, it’s not to say that negative comments don’t hurt. It is to say you get to choose how you’re going to perceive it. You get to choose how you move forward.
• [spp-timestamp time=”53:00″] So when I coach people, I have a really high percentage of people who are successful. It really does start with love. It starts with that because when you love them, it gives them permission to love themselves. There are times when it’s hard for people to love themselves because they’re either shamed or they feel like they can’t do it. They feel like failures and they don’t love themselves enough.

The Strauser Project Returns on the Bakers Dozen Race, Wilderness 101 Training Updates, and The Struggle is Real gang!

Brian Strauser of the Strauser Project returns to discuss his Wilderness 101 race training. He recently attended the Leesburg Bakers Dozen mountain biking race in Virginia.

Quote: Keep a perspective out there, keep your head up, and when shit happens, know you can get around it. ~ Brian Strauser

Brian Strauser of The Strauser Project is stepping up for the younger generation and others, blazing out a trail for others to follow. Brian is a guy with tremendous heart and wears his emotions on his sleeve… along with a few tattoos too!

• Brian’s first podcast Super Dad Strauser Project episode 017

Final Words:

It’s it’s all about perspective to me. I wrap myself around all the right people, I was just at John Dilgen’s this past weekend I put a custom cap door in our buddy John Dilgens home. John is a young man in more pain than I could ever possibly understand. So to sit here and bitch about the fact that my knee hurts and I gotta walk a little bit weird, it just doesn’t seem right to me.

So I just try to keep my head in the right place and like you said before, just keep doing what I do. Just tweak it in the way that is necessary. I like to keep a good perspective on what you got. I think I had something similar before that so many people are so upset about some of the most trivial bullshit in their life and sit around just making it miserable for their spouses for their kids. They don’t even have a grasp on what they truly have.

I try to live by knowing what I got. I’m an extremely happy man and share that gratitude all the time. I try to give back to as many people as I can because it’s just the way I think it should be. So keep a perspective out there, keep your head up and when shit happens, know you can get around it.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] The struggle is real and I’m just trying to imagine the struggle of people in that town trying to keep that community together. Especially when all of that started going down. Even after many people decided to get the hell out of dodge but there was still a few people who just never left.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] I was doing all of that biking just to become healthier. It was something I loved ever since I was a little kid and I did some cross country stuff. A lot of those guys are lean, mean, fighting machine super fast and it’s a short race.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] I still did 40 some miles you know, that’s where the mental comes in. Super bummed when I got pulled and I was still able to ride. I just wasn’t keeping the pace.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] GoPro, I love the fact that you tied what can be considered a very expensive purchase, for you and your sister, to very important things that are tied to passion.
• [spp-timestamp time=”50:00″] That was my worst race ever. I had every possible mechanical bullshit problem go wrong. I had a mechanical on every lap, it was beyond frustrating.

Final Words:

I’ll tell you what, the lesson that I would carry because I’m sure I have we have a lot of entrepreneurs listening, right. So and whether they’re that no matter what they’re trying to do in their life, or you’re trying to do in your life, I guarantee you 100% success, that you will reach everything that you want if you just don’t quit.

When my students come to me and say I need advice, I’m going to start a business, we sit down and we look at it like belts. In six months you can’t give up on this because you’re only a blue belt. What does your business goal look like when you’re a brown belt? What are we going to call a brown belt? What are we going to call a black belt? So I asked my people, where are you on your 10-year plan?

• [spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] I’ve got a guy who just tested for fifth-degree black belt. He’s seventy years old. He can’t do what everybody else can do. But he is out there. He works out about 10 hours a week in my school. Everybody thinks martial arts is for kids. However, two-thirds of my students are adults.
• [spp-timestamp time=”21:30″] Explain for the listeners who don’t know what a kata is. I’ll let the master here explain what it’s like. A prearranged sequence of moves that teach, it transmits the moves forward in time. So if I teach you the Kata, it will have all the moves of that system, the blocks, the kicks, the punches, the traps, the sweeps, all of those things.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] As we kept moving along, we have realized that the real problem here is not the video, it’s not getting results. Having traffic or your website’s terrible? We started expanding our services into all of these other areas. So we could serve the client because the video wasn’t the issue.
• [spp-timestamp time=”41:00″] That’s a really important day when I started saying that to people. Putting my big boy pants on and saying, that is not actually in our wheelhouse. We could do it. But it’s not what I want to do. Here’s somebody else who can do it far better than I can, so go there.

Father, Husband, Entrepreneur, Coach, and Author. Welcome, Pat Rigsby:

I guess if I were going to sum it up in 5 words, those would be the five. But I’m going to share a little more in hopes that my journey can be of a little help to you in your own.

I’m a 46-year-old guy that has built his share of successes from the ground up…and more importantly, have a beautiful wife, two incredible boys and a business that allows me to spend most of my time with them along with family and friends.

Quote:

If you do what you said you were going to do each day, then you will get what you said you were going to get.

In the past decade, I’ve built over a dozen businesses as a CEO and Co-Owner, with five becoming million dollar or multi-million dollar ventures. Two of those businesses, Athletic Revolution and Fitness Revolution, have been multiple time winners on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 with each being the #1 franchise for its respective market. Another business, Fitness Consulting Group, was a multiple time honoree on the Inc. 5000, placing as high as #580 on the list of fastest growing businesses in the U.S. I’ve also been a Best-Selling Author 6 times over, presented in front of thousands of entrepreneurs and been featured in Entrepreneur, Men’s Health, USA Today and on hundreds of other media outlets.

“When it comes to sales, I’ve personally sold as many as 116 franchises in a single year and been the strategist and copywriter for over 10 million dollars in online sales from my own businesses and millions more in sales for my clients.”

In the fitness industry alone, my coaching & consulting clients have been featured in places like Men’s Health, USA Today, Men’s Fitness, Shape, Women’s Health, Huffington Post and on ABC, CBS, NBC and pretty much any other media outlet you can think of. They’ve built some of the most successful businesses and brands in every corner of the industry. Everything from local business and supplement companies to online businesses, certification organizations. They even became best-selling authors. In fact, many (if not most) of the experts providing business coaching in the fitness industry have been my clients, customers or franchisees.

And the best part of this? I’ve been able to do all of these things and more while working from home, coaching my kids in baseball and soccer and enjoying a type of entrepreneurial lifestyle I would have never thought possible just a few short years ago.

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. Entrepreneurial Teams
2. Lifestyle Balance
3. PANS & PANDAS Awareness

Final Words:

If you’re in the entrepreneurial world or even if you’re just somebody who wants to be a high achiever in your career, listen in. Professional and personal success aren’t mutually exclusive things you can have them both but you’re probably not going to have them both by accident. You need to plan and you need to make sure that you are moving towards those goals each and every day. If you do that, you can be pretty amazed about what you can accomplish.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] It’s great now with social media because we get such quick feedback. When I started in the business world, you were going to do more direct mail for marketing. Spending a lot of money and waiting for a pretty significant amount of time for feedback.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] It allows them to stay pretty close to what they consider their wheelhouse and still do what they need to do, from a business standpoint. They have the type of business that they set out to have when they started in the first place.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] It’s not only your time, but it’s your fulfillment from what you’re doing. Getting caught up having to be the guy doing all the podcast editing and all the other stuff, and then all of a sudden the podcast gets to be a lot less fun for the host. I’m just a big believer in doing the things that are not only my best financial ROI but also the best fulfillment of me spending my team too.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] Alex’s PANS. Alex has kind of a milder, case. I look at the infectious triggers that are so common. It’s really scary because it’s often misdiagnosed.
• [spp-timestamp time=”51:00″] This is kind of a two-fold challenge. I think a lot of autoimmune conditions kind of operate this way. But I wouldn’t profess to be an expert on any of it. We’ve got to kind of put out the fire. You have to get his immune system to calm back down. Then it just gets back to prevention. Good gut health is crucial. Just making sure that the body is operating the way it’s supposed to. It’s not just always having to deal with the ramifications of sugars or grains but also a lot of the processed stuff.

The post 269: Fitness Entrepreneur Lifestyle, PANS & PANDAS appeared first on LIVETHEFUEL.

Today’s Lifestyle Podcast is with Michael Giannulis, a Goat Rancher, Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Participant, Duodenal Switch Surgery Recipient, Turned Marketing Entrepreneur.

Michael Giannulis (Gee-uh-NEW-liss – kind of like “Gee, a new list” because after all, he’s in marketing!) has overcome the odds and loves to share that story to inspire others. Mike especially thrives on connecting with entrepreneurs to motivate them to “do big things” in the world.

Quote: Life rewards those who take action, not those who take notes. – Michael Giannulis

Mike’s story begins in an average family where he had to work for everything he had. He started “at the bottom” and worked his way into the American Dream. In fact, Mike dropped out of high school, went back to get his degree and even went to college… ending up on a popular reality TV show. As a guy who started his working life stocking shelves on the overnight shift at a giant retailer, Mike has seen the spectrum.

FUEL FANS: onlyonemike.com/livethefuel

Now Mike grows and scales companies, using real-world experience to make this happen. His most recent company is on track to do $40 million in gross revenues. He is a serial entrepreneur who develops systems to help other entrepreneurs run multiple companies without having to be there.

In 2012 Mike appeared on the ABC television show Extreme Weight Loss, losing 255 pounds. He has overcome a stutter. He has gone from the bottom of the corporate ladder to the top of the mountain… and he loves helping others do the same.

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. Healthy Lifestyle Choices
2. Extreme Weight Loss Gained Back
3. Success Is Not A Straight Line

• Duodenal Switch writeup from The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) – https://asmbs.org/patients/bariatric-surgery-procedures#bpd

Final Words:

If there’s anything that I’m proof of, its that success is not a straight line. There are ups and downs, zigzags and turnarounds. Everything is a continuation of where you came from, and where you’re trying to go. So I would say for people that are out there, whether it’s your business or your health, or whatever it is you’re trying to focus on, just know that it’s going to be a process.

I believe in that a lot, just look for feedback. The funny thing about feedback that I tell people all the time is that feedback usually comes in the form of a problem, a complaint or an issue. That’s how feedback comes to us.

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”05:00″] We bought 500 dairy goats. Not only that, they were all pregnant. They were all set to have kids and in about the same month!
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:30″] There’s always someone else that comes up to me after and says, just so you know, you were not a goat farmer, you were a goat rancher. Farmers deal with crops and ranchers deal with animals.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] Well, I don’t want to go out and eat chicken and broccoli, I could do that at home for four bucks. So then you are like, well, I want to get the chicken marsala. I mean, you want to get like the fancy thing. That’s my problem, I controlled it to an extent. I gained back all of the weight after the show ended.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] I connect with people that are very big, like 100 plus pounds overweight. There’s not a lot of people that have been there and gone through that. I tell people you’re not going to do this by waking up at 5 am on a random Monday. Then try to run three miles, hitting the gym and drinking your egg protein shake. The human body can’t make that much of a leap. The bridge has to be very small so you will be able to walk it. After all, I lost 255 pounds and that was over 12 months.
• [spp-timestamp time=”39:40″] I really want to make sure that I’m around for a long time for my future kids. Being fat from the age of four means that I never made a conscious choice to be overweight. My mom and my family cared for me a lot. My mom worked all of the time so she was never home. She was a single mom so I grew up with my grandparents. My grandma was from Alabama and she stated that we fry everything. Everything was just fried, fried, fried.
• [spp-timestamp time=”46:00″] I think even now, being a business owner, I’ve gotten to the point where I like the business behind business. I’m getting better at creating ideas and putting together teams to build those ideas into reality. I’ve enjoyed that a lot more than the operational side. I enjoy solving problems.

I’ve been ripping the lid off here this year, we’ve got my first book coming out soon, a little story of some of the lessons I learned from the Hotshot Wildland Firefighting world. So that’ll be coming out when I can get it there. I’m still finishing editing on that, so that’s taken longer than I expected.

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”04:00″] We’re not all hardcore skiers, it’s all about that deep, fluffy, amazingly powdery snow. That was the theme of our wedding, it was hey guys, let’s go have an adventure. Let’s do some heliskiing. Let’s rock out and have a good time.
• [spp-timestamp time=”09:30″] We rocked out some serious old school and amazing onesie ski suits. Mine was three different shades of purple and blue. I’m quite proud of it and I’m not getting rid of it. I spent $150US on eBay for that bad boy and it is in mint condition.
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:45″] So we went skiing for a couple of days after heliski and then we had a Snowcat skiing trip booked, which was awesome! Normally they’re actually using them to groom the ski slopes or open up remote mountain roads, but they actually mount big metal boxes on the back of them and so you can carry people. So instead of flying you into the backcountry like we did the first week. We had them drive us up into the backcountry in and around where they were based in a remote part of British Columbia.
• [spp-timestamp time=”15:30″] Luckily my lung and rib muscles held up and I was able to do a lot of crazy stuff. I was not at my full physical fitness level but still pulled everything off that I could. Now that I’m back, it’s time to do some riding because I got some training ahead. Come this July I’ll be doing my first 100-mile mountain biking race of all things, the Wilderness 101 aka W101.
• [spp-timestamp time=”17:00″] The wedding ring I bout is a black zirconium, wrapped in elk antler bone, inlayed with a ring of brown teak wood. I got this from manlybands.com

One, just as a heads up for future info coming up, I’m going to meet with the Fit Chick, Selene Yeager of Bicycling Magazine. Selene is one of those chicks that I’ve known for many, many years as long as I’ve been in the Lehigh Valley.

I thought of this as we were talking day and I would say, “GET OUT OF YOUR OWN HEAD”. That’s my big comment for today, “GET OUT OF YOUR OWN HEAD. We sit around and worry about the 10,000 things going wrong. Take the steps and do the two things you know you can do right. Don’t engulf yourself in all of the bullshit that’s going on. There’s so much of it. Trust me. I could talk for 10 podcasts in a row about some of the stuff I got going on.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”09:30″] Black Ice Adventures. This was a bad one, I laid off the gas and was going to go through it pretty mellow. When I hit it, my truck disappeared literally the ass started coming around. In my pickup, Steve’s both arms went, one grabbed the console, the next one is out the window. I got the infamous Willie’s in my stomach.
• [spp-timestamp time=”15:00″] This day being a like a chronic reader and whatever, I still am yet to figure out 100%. Anybody looks at overweight people and thinks they have a weight problem, an eating problem, whatever. Quite often it’s not. That’s not the problem. That’s the solution to their problems.
• [spp-timestamp time=”18:30″] Along came this event called the Wilderness 101. When I first started reading about this I thought you had to be a special kind of idiot to even consider this. A long long time ago when I was hardcore, it might have been as far as 10 years ago, it was a Leesburg Bakers Dozen Race.
• [spp-timestamp time=”25:00″] Sharing the right stories, maybe they could click with some people, clearly, that clicked with him. He just needed a goal.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] Wilderness 101 continued. I know exactly the first hill and every one thereafter for the next 40 some miles. I have a much better understanding as to the type of training that needs to be involved.

Living All Natural Requires Hard Work. Staying Alive In A Toxic World Is Even Harder. Learn About Toxins Impact On Your Gut Health and Much More:

Wade T. Lightheart, the host of the AWESOME Health Podcast, is a 3-time All Natural

National Bodybuilding Champion, advisor to the American Anti-Cancer Institute and

Director of Education at BiOptimizers Nutrition, one of the world’s most innovative

nutritional supplement companies. He is also the author of several books including

the best-selling books, “Staying Alive in a Toxic World” and “The Wealthy Backpacker.”

The AWESOME Health Podcast is a big part of his mission to help others fix their digestion and transform their health with the daily practice of positive principles,

rituals and optimizers.

Finally Live With Awesome Health. – Wade Lightheart

Few alive have traveled farther or crusaded harder on behalf of helping individuals

transform their digestive health, wellness and overall lives than Wade T. Lightheart.

After competing in Mr. Universe and his health failing him following a competition

victory, Wade began to search for answers. In the process, he learned so much about

what makes digestion work, along with other principles that form what he calls the

AWESOME Health system. Wade’s journey into vegetarianism and bodybuilding took

his health to new heights, empowering him to help others with a unique perspective.

Wade also serves as an advisor to the American Anti-Cancer Institute and is the

Co-Founder and Director of Education at BiOptimizers, a digestive health company.

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. Cut Sugar, Grains, and Toxins
2. Bodybuilding Diets Can Trigger Gut Health Issues
3. Rebuild Healthy Gut Bacteria

Final Words:

First, I think if you’re listening to the podcast, you probably have an interest in health and performance and being the next level you wouldn’t be otherwise you’d be watching something distracting. So first I want to honor that.

Second I want to say is be willing to experiment, be willing to take steps you can always on to nowadays you can usually find someone that’s already been down that pathway that you want to experiment with and you can see if that works for you. I think that’s a great tool.

Third, always keep learning because the game keeps changing all the time.

Then the final piece I would say is don’t underestimate the power of fixing your digestive system. My business partner is a ketogenic guy, I’m a vegetarian, we’re both as far off the spectrum of mutual formats or dietary choices. We’re dietary agnostic, and what I mean by that is that I think that everybody should choose the diet that works for their lifestyle, their genetics, and epigenetics. Remain flexible enough that they’re willing to spend a bit of time experimenting with other things in order to see if there’s something they might be able to add from some other perspective as opposed to narrowly attacking other people because they’re doing something that’s right for them, which I think is so asinine.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] The good news is if you’re not happy with where things have led you to this point, all you have to realize is that you need to take yourself and the seed of potential and plug it into a different environment.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:45″] What’s interesting is almost every person that I’ve interviewed, has produced something really cool or has gone through some sort of extreme challenge or transformation in their home life.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] There is significant evidence that we’ve got major issues right now. For example, 12% of the hospital visits right now are related to gastrointestinal illness.
• [spp-timestamp time=”39:30″] I think the Surgeon General said that 90% of the illnesses that are being treated in hospital today’s are actually lifestyle-related illnesses. The problem is that the environment is so toxic to that person and that person is so poorly educated in fact, he’s indoctrinated into beliefs that were guaranteed at this dysfunctional level of health or certainly what they’re capable of. Plus, that there’s almost no hope for that individual unless they want to make radical statements and follow people who are willing to go out and fail and try these other things and come back and say, hey, look, here’s what I learned about this, try and avoid this.
• [spp-timestamp time=”52:30″] In order for me to overcome my physical challenges, I had to correct my gastrointestinal system. I had created inflammation following a bodybuilding type diet.

Are you Chasing Your Dreams? Listen in to learn some value around committing to a Healthy Lifestyle Balance and much more!

Aimee J., the host of the Chasing Dreams Podcast, has a unique background that enables her to speak from a perspective rarely seen in others. What began as a career in computer engineering, soon made its way into law, and ultimately, it ended up in contract management. However, Aimee’s deep love for pop culture and desire to help others finally found a way to merge into the form of podcasting and public speaking.

Quote: I would rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not.” – Lucille Ball

With the firm belief that everyone should live without regrets, Aimee set out to inspire people to make moves, take chances, and chase their dreams. To achieve this, Aimee created the Chasing Dreams Podcast, which highlights people each week who have achieved their dreams by taking chances and delves into how the lessons learned by guests can be applied by anyone listening.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:30″] There’s something about being in an energy zone, though, that makes you feel like you can do anything.
• [spp-timestamp time=”15:40″] I do see that’s an excellent segway, so that’s an extra talking point about flow state. That was an external thing that impacted you. You have to allow the love for the grace.
• [spp-timestamp time=”23:20″] Shout out to the blind blogger himself, Maxwell Ivy. He called me out on a post I posted from the hospital. Max basically said, I know you’re the health and fitness guy, but I think this is a great example of how you might not have been listening or paying attention to your body.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] We’re not giving our audiences and our listeners enough credit. They would probably say, hey, help yourself first. Let’s become Selfless and not selfish.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] Entrepreneurs are influencers who work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, right? That’s what they need to do. I don’t recommend it for everybody. There was an influencer recently on the Chasing Dreams Podcast. After blogging daily, four or five months ago, she did a special post and called it quits. She took a break because her mental health was suffering from that level of dedication.
• [spp-timestamp time=”57:45″] If you change your perspective every now and then, you’ll find that if you change your perspective, you change your life.

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. Nutrition: what you put in is what you get out.
2. Rest and Recovery: your body and mind heal the most at night.
3. Self-Care: be your own Inner Physician, take accountability for your health.

Final Words:

My final public service announcement is if you know tall, lean athletes, don’t scare them with this, but make sure they’re aware of blebs and what a Spontaneous Pneumothorax. A partially collapsed lung is no joke. I did find out from a good friend of mine, that her son’s girlfriend last year was finishing a softball tournament championship and the same exact injury happened to her because she was a tall, lanky, lean athlete.

Now granted, I’m 41, so they’re not expecting this type of stuff. I guess that’s the fun of me being a health and fitness junkie, is I could survive a lung collapse better than most but you can still get injured. So again, last part of the big picture message here. Take care of yourself. Focus on self-care, what you put in is what you get out regarding nutrition. It’s important but also proper rest, and recovery, along with proper mindset, stress relief, and bringing the cortisol levels down.

I was pulling out all the stops and I’m still pulling out all the stops so I can bounce back as fast and as healthy as possible.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”02:00″] How the injury happened and what went down to trigger this 35% collapsed lung.
• [spp-timestamp time=”05:20″] During the holiday transition, the back rib was out of alignment, so I was not able to breathe properly. Especially during fitness activities. I got sent into a few occasional fits of aggressive coughing. Back in 2010 or 2011, I did the same thing while firefighting. I did see a chiropractor then and they put the rib back into alignment a few days later with none of this aftermath. I was fine, no major fits of coughing back then. So I never triggered the spontaneous pneumothorax aka the blebs that collapsed my lung.
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] CrossFit community shoutouts to the #SYRArmy of SYR CrossFit and the #AdorationNation from CrossFit Adoration
• [spp-timestamp time=”16:00″] I just did yoga that Friday, January 18th, before going for the X-ray. I think I’m going to zip in, grab this X-ray and then go meet Dr. Megan Cannon Ph.D. because I was going to record a new podcast that we’re going to air this month. So I think I’m just walking in walking out, grab an X-ray and they’ll send it over to Dr. Robin Kaplan of East Penn Chiropractic.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:10″] Scott passes the f*ck out?! I’ve never had this severe of an injury or trauma. I’ve had my shoulder rebuilt twice back in 1999 and again in 2007. That is all outpatient stuff. I’ve never been hospitalized.
• [spp-timestamp time=”29:55″] Surgery was Wednesday, January 23rd, scored a new chest tube that day to help the healing process. I also got to enjoy a breathing tube for surgery, not cool. The next 24 hours gave me a rough throat, scratchy, and thirsty as hell once they take that thing out. So Thursday was so much fun for day 1 of post-surgery recovery.
• [spp-timestamp time=”31:30″] Garbage Hospital Nutrition. I did eat the hospital food but it took some work. They tried serving me things like stuffed shells and french toast. I was like, dude, I’m here to heal and recover and get out healthy, I do not need inflammatory foods. I’m not here for you to make me feel rewarded, like when you’re trying to give me dessert for breakfast. Sorry guys. French toast is death, stuffed shells are death. There is ZERO nutritional value in all of that stuff. Focus on what you FUEL your body with. What you put in is what you get out. I told them eggs and bacon every morning if you bring me lunch/dinner it is a clean protein with no sauces. I also had my fiance bringing my stuff in, I got bone broth rolling daily.

[spp-tweet tweet=”Set your day up around YOU, rather than being subject to other people’s wants, needs, and demands! LIVETHEFUEL! @theginnishow “]

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. Embrace Your True Self
2. Speak With Truth and Transparency
3. Embrace Public Speaking With Intimacy and Confidence

Final Words:

I think 2019 for me, as we discussed, was a year that I’m really committing to being very productive with my time. I mean one key factor from that learning from The Mastery Journal is setting up my morning routine. I guess that’s really been lacking for me in the last year because I’ve kind of been I’ve jumped into this business. That was kind of my priority. From the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep, that was what I live, breathe, and slipped my business.

I did notice over time, that your energy levels aren’t the highest. You are probably not getting that full round happiness that you want in the other aspects of life as well. So I think in 2019, if there’s any kind of wisdom that I could leave you with or any kind of tips, I would reverse engineer what makes you happy. It’s not just about work, it’s got to incorporate your loved ones, your friends, your health things that mean a lot to you.

What does happiness look like for you and then work back from that because I think that’s what’s helped me with my morning routine and helps me be more productive with my time. I’d just be really pragmatic about that and be non-negotiable. These are things that I want to do in the morning for me, set your day up around you rather than being subject to other people’s wants and needs and demand. So I think that’s what I could leave you, it’s really about figuring out what makes you happy and then work back from that.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”07:25″] The Hump Day Crew and Rise Up Radio. I was also on LA Talk Radio for a brief stint. Then I started my own personal podcasting journey, I had three podcasts, The Monday, The Daily Ginni and The Ginni Show, but I’ve just put it put it all under one umbrella. Now being The Ginni Show and incorporating the other two podcasts I had, it just made sense to me to kind of make it a bit more of a documentary of my journey rather than fragments of it.
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:50″] At the time I was studying theater and performing arts. So I didn’t have a fear of public speaking. I knew as soon as I got behind the mic, I would be on a whole different level of intimate and a whole different level of connection. Because when I opened the mic, I wasn’t playing a character or reading a script I was being made.
• [spp-timestamp time=”21:22″] I’m curious to know Scott, you mentioned that you grew up in quite a conservative closed up type of environment. What do you think it was about you and your experiences that you kind of felt like, how did you develop such openness or being open-minded?
• [spp-timestamp time=”29:30″] Even though it was a bit scary at the time, I had that fear, how will I be judged. The other side of it was that everyone knows that I don’t have to tell anyone, anything. I guess it also filters out who is supportive and who is not.
• [spp-timestamp time=”43:18″] You hav got this gratitude, look at what it’s created for you, look at all the impact that you’ve been able to have on the kids’ life and future kids. The grace that you’re creating for yourself, and that you’re passing on to others. It’s totally amazing. And I think you’ve created quite a flow of abundance for yourself as a result, because you’re giving the key thing to giving and gratitude, gratitude, actually, the starting point, but the key thing that what you’re doing and being of service is you’re giving and being of service without an expectation or attachment. You’re doing it purely because you’re a good dude. And you want to help this guy out?

Today’s New Guest Co-Host Discusses Healthy Lifestyle, Ra The Sun God, Blue Blocker Glasses, The Light Diet, Avoiding EMF, and Reminds Us To Have Faith:

“Matt Maruca is a student, entrepreneur, and teacher of optimal human health, and the Founder of Ra Optics, his first company to share information and create products that teach people to build health in the modern world. Ra Optics is focused specifically on Blue Light Blocking Glasses to protect our sleep/wake cycle, melatonin, repair quality, mitochondria, energy levels, and health from toxic artificial lighting. He travels and has met with some of the leading researchers of quantum biology. He is 19 years old.”

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”02:00″] How Matt and Scott met and Ra the Sun God, and the old cartoon ThunderCats.
• [spp-timestamp time=”05:00″] Financial freedom and stability. Finding neurosurgeon, Dr. Jack Kruse at 19 years of age.
• [spp-timestamp time=”07:00″] It became so obvious after reading a few Silicon Valley books, going back to the entrepreneurship, like a Lean Startup by Eric Ries. The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss. How do I run my own business from anywhere in the world?
• [spp-timestamp time=”15:00″] Fabrication and taco’s inspired entrepreneurship.
• [spp-timestamp time=”17:00″] Plastics, polymers, anti-glare, anti-reflective coating. Making Blue Blocker glasses.
• [spp-timestamp time=”25:00″] How Matt learned about the Egyptian Sun God Ra through Jack Kruse. Proper sun exposure, becoming supercharged, and digging into understanding natural light vs artificial light.
• [spp-timestamp time=”29:00″] Understanding natural light’s impact on our eye health, melatonin, healthy sleep, and more. Plus Matt digs into his past health issues as a youth, including gas, bloating, headaches, hormones, and more.
• [spp-timestamp time=”33:00″] Relating firefighting, inversions in the atmosphere, and temperature shifts to inflammation in the human body.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] It always seems to go back from the macro levels to the micro level. The whole story comes together when I was trying to use diet to fix issues in my health, which is really relating to our fundamental mitochondrial.
• [spp-timestamp time=”44:00″] I basically tell people is imagine that you took your car and you open up the hood and you pour tar all over the engine.
• [spp-timestamp time=”54:00″] In the world of the gadgets and all these things, and I didn’t know that I didn’t realize just how big of a deal that is. But now seeing my little brother and his friends, and how much time they spend on their devices, and all my adult friends too. [spp-timestamp time=”59:00″] The Romans knew about sun and health. They had solariums where they could sun themselves and built their houses open to the sky. Likewise, this was common for a long time architecture to lead in more natural lighting. Eventually, with the advent of artificial lighting, people believe that it had the same impact as far as our bodies because they didn’t know about the health impacts they just thought lighting was lighting.
• [spp-timestamp time=”01:19:00″] Once I started loading up on seafood, good quality spring water, and morning sun exposure, I was able to start absorbing more sunlight in tanning and getting a really nice color of my skin. So we can change our biology anyway. Avoid manmade EMF. So basically avoid manmade EMF.

Final Words:

I’ll probably keep it with the Thanksgiving theme, just end it with something simple, give more than you get. You know there’s something special that happens… (Brian gets emotional here…)

You know something special happens when you have the opportunity to do that kind of stuff. This year I probably made triple the amount of money I made last year with my side hustle and some things I’ve started doing with my carpentry, my skillset, and my level of commitment to taking care of my family. The money I made doesn’t mean shit to me.

Time To Burn Your Couch with LionHeart Radio’s Rick Alexander!

Rick is a writer, speaker and performance coach. He’s also the author of Burn Your Couch available on Amazon! As an ex-special operations veteran and ultra-endurance athlete, Rick crafts content to help lead people through adversity and into a life of meaning. You can hear his ideas on his podcast LionHeart Radio which air’s Monday through Friday or by picking up a copy of his debut book, Burn Your Couch. (BurnYourCouch.com)

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:10″] Introduction and a regular co-host shout out to Dr. Megan Cannon, Sports Psychologist for getting Rick and Scott introduced. Plus Scott knocks Rick’s bio intro and killed it!
• [spp-timestamp time=”04:00″] It’s interesting because if you let the wrong thing get into the driver’s seat when you’re going through your life, it’s going to make you miserable. It goes back to that classic quote like how are you supposed to move forward if you’re always living behind or something like that. It’s one of these is something different manifestations of that quote, but it’s is so true.
• [spp-timestamp time=”06:24″] Why do you have to go back? If you served, then you have that honor and that respect. You can move on to start a whole new chapter.
• [spp-timestamp time=”08:00″] Three of the most top psychologically strenuous things that you can go through in your life.
• [spp-timestamp time=”14:00″] That’s the thing, an existential crisis we’ve made that you literally ignore your call to adventure and you continue to do the things that you think you’re supposed to do or you have all these obligations that are essentially self-imposed, right?
• [spp-timestamp time=”18:00″] If you’re really growth minded, that kind of a lifestyle is rough, and I don’t wish it on anybody, because it means you got to leave relationships, leave jobs and you leave states. If you’re going to honor the process of what growth really requires, that means that you are going to grow away from certain things that are really comfortable in it and that you might enjoy.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:45″] I think that it’s entirely possible to find people that you’re going to grow with. It’s just way harder.
• [spp-timestamp time=”22:52″] One of the mindset shifts for me that it was a literal life changer was focusing on what you do want vs you don’t want. Something that’s really changed my life so you know, I don’t want to go broke is much different than I want to make six figures this year, right?
• [spp-timestamp time=”25:20″] Preconceived notions and ideas. Cognitive researchers believe that you don’t know about 95% of what goes on in your own brain.
• [spp-timestamp time=”27:00″] Writing is a process where there’s not a lot of validation.
• [spp-timestamp time=”31:20″] We’re in a culture of doers, so you just keep doing, and doing, the path just keeps getting further and further away from where you really want to be at times.
• [spp-timestamp time=”33:29″] You need to protect your energy, you can end up somewhere miserable, burnt out and exhausted. Then you’re going to hate what you’re doing because I’ve literally gone down that road of hustle.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” … “One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” ~ Carl Jung

• [spp-timestamp time=”37:00″] History of LionHeart. We had all CrossFit athletes that we sponsored, which is why we started the show.
• [spp-timestamp time=”42:52″] I found the beauty in life which is outside of rigidity.
• [spp-timestamp time=”44:04″] It’s serendipitous. The morning coffee podcast episodes on LionHeart.
• [spp-timestamp time=”46:00″] I kept denying that call to adventure and because of that, I delayed what I really wanted to be doing in this world by years. It was painful and if I really fought to get that out there. Burn Your Coach was released a year ago, it was essentially the idea behind that which is a lot of what we’re talking about. Most people mistake being comfortable for being happy and those two things just aren’t the same.
• [spp-timestamp time=”47:51″] Who are the people you’re surrounding yourself with? Who are the inner circles that you’re allowing your manifestation to take with? Setting big hairy audacious goals normally does not come from the old circles of influence, they come from the new circles of influence that you’re allowing into your life.
• [spp-timestamp time=”48:11″] I got out of the military at 12 years. Everybody said you got to do eight more years. The only thing I could think about is eight years to do a job that you’re unhappy with when you know there’s an entire life you want to be doing.
• [spp-timestamp time=”50:39″] I just finished recording the audiobook literally yesterday. It’s a ridiculous process.
• [spp-timestamp time=”51:23″] There are some great books like former Navy SEAL guys or stories of Navy SEAL’s. Check out Fearless about former SEAL, Adam Brown.
• [spp-timestamp time=”52:33″] I wanted to be a rock star my whole life. I spent a couple years playing in the music industry and we were huge but we had like a local song on the radio and we opened for some bands that I liked.
• [spp-timestamp time=”54:00″] How can we achieve more? Do the thing that you feel called to do in the world. It will be the biggest performance hack you could ever imagine.
• [spp-timestamp time=”55:24″] Final Words

Final Words:

I’m going to close it with a Carl Young quote. It wasn’t the quote I gave you at the beginning of the show:

“Until you make the subconscious conscious, it’s going to rule your life and you’re going to call it fate.”

I think there’s no more worthy ideal than figuring out who you really want to be in what you really are. I know I’ve been talking about it throughout this whole show.

Until you do that, everything else won’t matter. You’ll put your energy in the wrong place, you’ll be in the wrong relationship, you’ll do the wrong job and not necessarily every single aspect.

<h1><strong>A Special Holiday Part II Podcast for Calvin The Coonhound Beating Cancer:</strong></h1>

<strong> </strong>

Tune in for a special holiday podcast catching you up on our ailing Calvin The Coonhound. Calvin is our English Redtick Coonhound, 10 years old, battled Cancer, became a tripod, and now has been battling partial renal failure from the tripod leg amputation surgery to save his life from Cancer. Listen in for my transparency and updates into our personal lives and love for Calvin.

<strong> </strong>

<h2><strong>On This Episode You Will Hear:</strong></h2>

<ul>

  <li>[spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction. This is a special edition, I decided that with the power of Thanksgiving here in the USA, I’d thought I’d break up our normal content and add in a couple of solo episodes, which are very few and far between on this show since founding in September 2016.</li>

  <li>[spp-timestamp time=”00:53″] For the past eight years I’ve had the honor and privileged to be able to go up to the Harlem in northern New York City and there’s a strong population of less fortunate people. There’s a wonderful woman there by the name of Mary Lanning and she helps give back for the past 47 years making 2000+ meals, which this year we did 2500 hot meals going to the streets to give back. Go listen to that episode 232 to learn a little bit more. There was another powerful organization we got to work with on Wednesday before Thanksgiving, which was the Tunnel 2 Towers program. That’s an amazing organization giving back to people whether it be military, police, fire, first founders, etc. This whole program was started thanks to the Stephen Siller Foundation, which was named after a New York City fallen firefighter who died in the 911 World Trade Center Towers collapse. So again, check out Episode 232.</li>

  <li>[spp-timestamp time=”02:35″] I think we should be good to our fellow man, no matter what day or week or month it is. But this episode is especially targeted to a very special member of our family, Calvin The Coonhound. That’s my dog, and not just my dog, it’s actually my fiancé’s dog. It was really her dog for five years before I met her and then the past five years that we’ve been building our relationship together. Obviously Calvin became, we’ll call it my son, as well, since we don’t have human children. Calvin is our child. I never would have called him that until the tragic experiences that we’ve been going through this past month.</li>

  <li>I wanted to do a podcast to reflect on that because I think I underestimate sometimes the impact of people, individuals and yes, even animals on our lives. That’s what I wanted this episode to really do for you all, was to get you guys to pause and reflect. So I thought what the heck let me share some personal components out of my life for you all because isn’t that what podcasting is all about?! We should be getting more intimate, I should be letting you guys deeper into my life. I mean, over the past 200+ shows, I know I’ve definitely softened things up and let you guys in on my little romantic adventures and how basically my head was up by butt as I was fighting to fall in love with my now fiancé. So for those of you haven’t followed on social media, Calvin has not been having a good go the past couple months.</li>

  <li>[spp-timestamp time=”04:46″] For the past few years he’s been an amazing companion I loved taking him mountain biking and Kristen my fiancé was worried that as he was getting older, I might be overworking him. I ride pretty fast as a mountain biker, I’ve done a few races over the years, I don’t like to go slow. So Calvin likes to run with me and he’s happy to get after it with me so that’s why he and I have our own special bond which is different than hers, ha-ha!</li>

  <li>[spp-timestamp time=”05:38″] She took him to the park couple of months ago where he loves to be typical Calvin, he sprints across one of the baseball fields or soccer fields and he does this weird dipping of his shoulder and then just slides into the grass. Then he rolls over and just likes to rub his hair in the grass, it’s a dog thing. I sometimes I feel like as human beings we should take a page from their book and learn how simple life can be for happiness. So maybe next time its wintertime maybe when you’re in the snow, drop that shoulder and just roll around through the snow.</li>

  <li>Anyway, he goes to do this and all of a sudden Kristen said he just let out this god awful YELP and did not want to get up. He’s a pretty tough dude. Now granted he’s as we’re recording this here in November 2018, a 10-year-old dog. So if this whole math in dog years is accurate, that is 70-years-old, supposedly it’s a seven to one ratio. So she was worried because he’s a 90-95 pound Coonhound and granted my fiancé does a lot of CrossFit, we lift a lot of weights and she’s a strong girl, but she was wasn’t if she was able to get them back to the car.</li>

  <li>[spp-timestamp time=”08:27″] So yes, ladies and gentlemen, Calvin The Coonhound has Cancer. So this was a huge shock to us. I love to try and maintain that high energy, glass is half full. My fiancé, being the educated doctor, she is a bit of a realist. I guess you reach a point where you know too much and it’s really hard for her to battle that and fight the fact that it could be this bad. So she can’t stop thinking about that. Let me tell you the past month and a half, I was getting frustrated. My patience was pushed to the limits, at times, I had to catch myself, I thought I was being a little bit of a dick.</li>

  <li>I just know too much just like she knows too much from the medical world. I know too much from the natural wellness, healthy energy, the Psychology front, etc. I’m just pushing her to understand that Calvin needs us to be 100% positive. I know things don’t look good. When people are not doing well it doesn’t pay to hang around them and then be the woe is me companion. Sorry guys, this is not how I roll, so I took this full speed ahead for Calvin. I don’t know if it helped him or not but obviously the Cancer was real.</li>

  <li>[spp-timestamp time=”12:16″] We can always make more money, that’s a little business life lesson. If you’re looking for something else that will give you an excuse to work hard for your clients or for your customers, go spend the money because you’re going to want to get after it! So anyway, $3000 already invested into that orthoscopic and biopsy, we were going stay committed.</li>

  <li>Calvin loves us, he gets fed better than I do sometimes. I pass him my grass fed steak. He’s more important, as our child, so anyway, let’s fast forward. We got labs coming back, we’re stressed out, and he’s on pain relievers now. I know those are not good for him. I’m anti-pharmaceutical, I’m anti-drug, we were trying herbal remedies too, and pain relieving oils just to try to cut back on any drugs. We tried it all man I mean, this is a major commitment.</li>

  <li>[spp-timestamp time=”14:08″] We finally get the test back it does confirm that this cancer did not metastasize. We can move forward with amputation so the game plan is set and the only day they can give us that works as soon as possible is the day that Kristen is flying out of town to Kentucky for a Horse Event. So she was not looking forward to that.I take the day off from any business activities, I didn’t care, it was all about Calvin that day and back to lifestyle balance. Sometimes you got to unplug man, just focus on what matters. They took the leg, the shoulder, the scapula, everything, to make sure there’s no chance of any Cancer left behind. All to make him into a true tripod pup.</li>

  <li>[spp-timestamp time=”15:27″] Fast forward to this recording time, he’s hobbling around like crazy but before I go full Fast Forward, he started having more problems. That’s right, I think we’re upwards of over $4000 now, probably closer to five, and that’s right, dollars US. Between the pharmaceuticals, the pain treatments, the IV treatments, the surgery, the earlier orthoscopic procedure, Calvin’s health has us committed.</li>

  <li>We see this weird discoloration proceeding from the front of his body to the back of his body, down to his hind leg. We find out we should probably bring him back in and get some blood work done. Well sure enough now we’ve got renal failure on the list! So for those of you who don’t understand renal failure, renal relates to your urinary system, your bladder, and in this case, your kidneys. This is the system that helps remove toxins from the body. We tied this new issue to the pharmaceuticals, we just think he was getting too much due to all of his procedures.</li>

  <li>[spp-timestamp time=”17:27″] I mean this is this is getting deep, Kristen’s not doing well. Her stress, her emotion is manifesting into me. I am I’m doing my best guys, I’m trying to stay positive. I’m trying to stay ahead of the front and you know I talked about on the show about how your mindset is everything. Life’s challenges are meant to test you, well let me tell you this test was blowing me away and I was not ready for it.</li>

  <li>[spp-timestamp time=”18:07″] We pull out all the stops again. We started running IV treatments to hydrate him and help get fluids to start flushing the urinary and kidney system. We were just trying to help kick start the kidneys, hoping to reverse the supposedly irreversible renal failure. So now at that point it’s still not looking good. We do an update of blood panel, we get him back to the surgical center for the next two days. Running those IV’s with full 24-hour monitoring and updated blood work again.</li>

  <li>[spp-timestamp time=”19:44″] Our new game plan, we’re doing IV’s a couple times a day and he’s going to be peeing his butt off but we got to help flush his system. We also try to see if this is going to help with us switching out and reducing his medications.</li>

  <li>So let’s fast forward to Thanksgiving. I’ll just sum up, the blood work is reversing, it is slowly starting to climb and improve. It’s not perfect yet, he’s showing more energy, he’s going outside on his own. I’ve also built him his own handmade ramp, it’s in my Instagram history @scottwmulvaney. I literally built a massive wooden ramp with special carpet tiles and anti-skid taping on it. So now when you walk out the back of our house there’s no human steps, there’s a ramp to help him get into the yard. That’s right, I’m handy!</li>

  <li>[spp-timestamp time=”21:26″] Let me sum up the financials. I believe we’re at a maximum of money invested in Calvin #, I think we’re at a new grand total of $8000. That’s right, count it, 8000 US dollars! I still can’t fathom that guys.</li>

  <li>Part of that was a donation to the surgeon’s favorite zoo. The surgeon who did the procedure, this is the power of amazing people ladies and gentlemen, he does not like charging his fellow veterinary doctors for their own loved animals. So if he’s working on a major procedure like ours which should have cost us a hell of a lot more, he preferred to donate his time. That was a three hour procedure and he did not charge us, so we only paid for that day which was the veterinary facility. A shout out to Dr. Guy DeNardo and PennRidge Veterinary in Perkasie, PA!</li>

• [spp-timestamp time=”01:45″] In the USA, we have Thanksgiving. So about eight years ago, I stumbled across a wonderful woman by the name of Mary landing in New York City. This was after my first year of firefighting after I left the corporate space.
• [spp-timestamp time=”03:06″] StreetCorner Gourmets has been going on for 47 years. I just finished my fire season, she loved hearing that story. I said, I’ll be back and give me your contact information. I’m going to come up and I’m gonna volunteer with you, your family, and these people you gather every year to create such a powerful impact.

Baltimore Resident, Blue Collar Influencer, Inspiring Your Superior Self:

Host of Your Superior Self, Trey Downes is a thirty-something-year-old dad of three living in the suburbs of Baltimore, MD. His wife, Marisa, is a labor and delivery nurse and together they are striving, like most working-class families, to find happiness and balance.

Growing up in a small town in Delaware, Trey recounted the working-class culture cycle: You are a union worker for the same company your father worked for and your grandfather worked for before him. You clock in and out for 30 years, going through the motions until you retire.

Trey discovered that he was in the majority among his peers and launched YYS with a mission to break that cycle, successfully cultivating an inspirational community for people looking for a path to self-growth. The concept behind YSS pays tribute to Trey’s favorite author, Ernest Hemingway, and his infamous quote:

“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men.

True nobility lies in being superior to your former self.”

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”03:00″] Hardcore History with Dan Carlin.
• [spp-timestamp time=”08:40″] Does today’s generation have that type of commitment? It’s always what is owed to me.
• [spp-timestamp time=”12:25″] Airwalk shoes and Jnco jeans.
• [spp-timestamp time=”15:30″] Wrestlers, the Briscoe Brothers
• [spp-timestamp time=”19:31″] I am trying to reach like the blue collar workers, the blue collar entrepreneurs.
• [spp-timestamp time=”24:47″] Reading physics book as a blue collar guy. He’s on the treadmill right now. He’s on cruise control. I’m like, Look, man, we are the creators of our own success. Wake up to it.
• [spp-timestamp time=”33:15″] I think people don’t understand the power of getting a properly tailored dress shirt.
• [spp-timestamp time=”35:48″] Quote, Live Life To The Fullest by Ernest Hemingway. I actually want to know what is the moment in his life that inspired that quote.
• [spp-timestamp time=”42:44″] If I could do this, I can do anything.
• [spp-timestamp time=”46:08″] So what was your breaking point? What was your Ernest Hemingway moment? What was your reasoning for saying, you know what I’m done?
• [spp-timestamp time=”54:07″] That’s the goal, right? To build ourselves into person that we want to be on any day, we could fall back any day. But you have to keep the strength inside of you, you have to keep the passion. You have to keep the disciplines that you do every day to keep pushing you and building yourself into that role that you want to be in or that person that you want to be.
• [spp-timestamp time=”57:34″] That helps you understand a little more about how I set out balance in my life. I didn’t know these things, back to your point, right? I had to put in all these different reps.
• [spp-timestamp time=”59:50″] Dog walkers making $100,000 per year, blue collar?!
• [spp-timestamp time=”01:06:07″] 30 more years? 25 more years? A freakin retirement clock on my phone that lets you know what I’m gonna retire like, Are you kidding me?
• [spp-timestamp time=”01:15:15″] Final Words

Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better. – Jim Rohn

Final Words:

I want to say to you the listener, that it doesn’t matter what it is that you’re thinking about right now, whether it’s business or personal fitness, or investing or being a father or spouse, all it takes is one action one step into that direction.

Opportunities will open up that you never thought that maybe might have been there. Like, for me, it was I didn’t think that was would be a podcaster, I had a dream that I wanted to make a difference in the world. I wanted to voice my opinions about self growth and self betterment. I just took one step, I went to Google and YouTube, searched how to be a podcaster and I learned how to put a show together and a website and now I’m over here talking to Scott getting after it about self betterment, self growth.

So don’t be afraid to take that step and don’t hesitate because the more time that you take, the less opportunity to get better or faster it’s you know, you’re you’re losing time and I the biggest regret that I have is is not starting sooner so that’s that’s pretty much it man like just get after it.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”02:12″] Talk about surrounding yourself with powerful influencers.
• [spp-timestamp time=”04:08″] So that’s a pain in the butt.
• [spp-timestamp time=”07:30″] We have several personas throughout our journey, and we realized your name doesn’t change.
• [spp-timestamp time=”09:17″] You have a new journal coming out soon.
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:20″] I feel like so many of us know what to do. But we don’t create the space to actually do it. That’s a psychologist in me.
• [spp-timestamp time=”17:33″] We gotta pause on that. Yeah, there’s always a way to figure it out, that’s a mindset piece, not everybody hearing this has that yet.
• [spp-timestamp time=”18:40″] I had to put it in my calendar, I had to rearrange my priorities. I had to put it in so it had a slot and and then I would do it because I knew once I had a plan I would execute.
• [spp-timestamp time=”22:31″] What I love about the network marketing world, too, is that it could really just be 15 minutes or an hour a day. It doesn’t have to be 12 hours a day. It really is just intentional time because they say a 1% shift will take you in a completely new direction and a half an hour a day, 15 minutes a day.
• [spp-timestamp time=”25:30″] So the particular activating system is a part of your brain, that’s basically like your filter. We hear and we consume like 70,000 things throughout the day. Well, our brain can’t handle all of that. So there’s a filter that decides what’s most important to you.
• [spp-timestamp time=”27:21″] My mindset was different than where I am today. So things are seen and looked at differently. I do understand manifestation in a more scientific way. So I’m intrigued to see how you would respond to that.
• [spp-timestamp time=”29:54″] I mean, even the Bible talks about the power of the tongue and taking your thoughts captive. There’s a lot of things that I’m like, oh, I learned about this in church the whole time. I just never realized it was the same thing.
• [spp-timestamp time=”32:12″] You created space in your life and you physically made a space to have a prayer closet.
• [spp-timestamp time=”33:53″] Denise’s seven domains. When I studied psychology, we called them the six or seven domains of life. So I’m intrigued to see how you’re going to label these out.
• [spp-timestamp time=”42:24″] I think a lot of times people will tell me that they’re striving for balance. You’re going to flow in and out.
• [spp-timestamp time=”44:47″] The bodybuilding competition. I’ve always worked out and I’ve been interested in that. I feel like that really taught me how to eat because before, I was eating out. So that taught me how to cook nutritious food, eat whole foods and in moderation, still have my treat every once in a while. The habits are so strong now that it’s not hard. I’m still drinking like a gallon of water a day.
• [spp-timestamp time=”46:58″] You have your dream life goal, you have affirmations, visualizations connected to that goal, because it goes from our head to our heart. We’re not just going to say it but we need to believe it. Then we go into our action items. The dream life action items. What can I do for this goal today, then I added dream relationship action and dream health action.
• [spp-timestamp time=”53:10″] A 1% change will take you somewhere completely different.
• [spp-timestamp time=”54:00″] Final Words

I love where I am, AND I know where I am going. – Quote

If You Can Believe It, You Can Achieve It! Our Theme with Today’s LIVE Guest Co-Host, Jeremy Motivates:

Jeremy Vermeulen is a husband, father, youth basketball coach, motivational speaker and author. His talks focus on the topics of happiness, overcoming adversity, believing in yourself, positivity and leadership.

He has always been someone who has found joy in helping people realize that life is so much more than what is right in front of them. In the winter of 2012, Jeremy jumped at the opportunity to volunteer as a youth basketball coach for a non-profit organization and live out a lifelong dream of coaching. This is where his passion to help others really started to shine. Then, in 2015 after overcoming a one and a half year battle with depression Jeremy’s passion became a burning desire fueled by a single notion that “If you believe it, you can achieve it!” Since then his mission has been to take his message from the basketball court and share it with the masses.

Jeremy’s belief that personal growth and development a long with hard work can help you achieve the life you desire; it is what drives him to continuously learn new methods and techniques that can be used to enhance not only his life but also the lives of others as well.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”04:14″] Independent youth facilities and organizations, basketball seasons, reinforcing all these positive things. Reinforce that if you make a mistake, it’s all right, you’re going to make a mistake. But get back up, get back with the team, keep doing what you’re doing.
• [spp-timestamp time=”08:26″] I don’t let any kid ever feel like they are the weak link, I identify which kids are strong and what skills, etc. Some kids maybe have two to three good skills.
• [spp-timestamp time=”11:27″] Most of my speaking when I go out to youth organizations, or even mental health facilities, like outpatient mental health facilities, I’m telling them about my story. I’m telling them how I fought back against those things.
• [spp-timestamp time=”14:35″] Embrace your fears.
• [spp-timestamp time=”16:50″] Initially, I’d hit a pause. Life will get in the way, you know, family things, whatever it may be.
• [spp-timestamp time=”19:22″] Setting a definitive ultimate goal. At the end of the year, you gotta have it completed. Draw a hard line in the sand.
• [spp-timestamp time=”24:08″] I look at life as a journey. We all have one. We’re all living that journey every day. Mine was trying to find happiness through some of the adversity that I had faced.
• [spp-timestamp time=”28:25″] There is nothing that I wouldn’t do for my kids. There’s nothing that I wouldn’t sacrifice for them. There are sacrifices I’m making in my life, to give them a better life, not to say that I had a bad life, but something different than I had.
• [spp-timestamp time=”33:00″] How can I take care of my kids if I’m mentally drained.

• [spp-timestamp time=”41:49″] I got depressed. I hit a depression wall.
• [spp-timestamp time=”44:50″] Doing some personal development and self-education.
• [spp-timestamp time=”47:55″] You try and deal with the stress. But you forget about the emotional portion. That’s really what broke me because you have two choices. I feel you have two choices. When it comes to stress and emotions. You can either address them and deal with them, or you can let them build up and you’ll break.
• [spp-timestamp time=”51:00″] Two years to get past the change the shame component.
• [spp-timestamp time=”52:56″] Putting in the reps, you had to start putting in the healing reps.
• [spp-timestamp time=”56:32″] Jim Rohn left a lot huge footprint in the world. Yeah, and then I found Eric Thomas.

Masculinity vs Femininity, Burnout Continued, Leaking Energy, and More on Today’s Healthy Lifestyle Podcast.

Masculinity and Femininity Defined: Possession of the qualities traditionally associated with men.

“handsome, muscled, and driven, he’s a prime example of masculinity”

synonyms: virility, manliness, maleness, machismo, vigor, strength, muscularity, ruggedness, robustness; informaltestosterone

“he’s the picture of masculinity”

Femininity Defined: The quality of being female; womanliness.

synonyms: womanliness, feminineness, womanly qualities, feminine qualities

“she was a woman truly comfortable with her femininity”

Burnout Defined: A physical or mental collapse caused by overwork or stress. Special note, high-level professionals often reach points of burnout. Let’s focus on Awarenesstoday and learn more to address this stressful lifestyle impact.

Danielle is a mission driven, corporate ladder climber turned spiritual entrepreneur. She is now a Personal Development & Leadership Coach and Spiritual Mentor for high-performing, over-achieving, heart-centered women. Danielle helps her clients learn how to operate most effectively as leaders in a way that alleviates burn out and aligns with their core values. Her mission is to help change makers ground into their truth, discover how to use ALL of their gifting to amplify their zone of genius, and live fully expressed lives both professionally and personally while making their greatest impact.

Travis is an ex-corporate ladder climber in the advertising technology space turned catalyst for change in the way the world identifies with and experiences masculinity. Achieving and performing were all that mattered in my twenties until the point where after getting the promotions and making the money, I kept coming back to feeling completely empty. All my intentions and energy were focused on consuming more things external to myself to build up my identity. A lack of having a father figure my entire life has taken me on this journey of untangling myself from the social pressures we feel as men to be a certain way, to prove our manhood. Taking down the masks socially and emotionally has been my path to freedom, natural expression, and purpose. I’ve built a community for men to do the same and it’s called The Drop. As an embodiment coach and a current Wim Hof Instructor in training my focus is to create a path for men that will allow them to cultivate the way of being and discipline to carry out a life of depth and purpose.

Dear Billie Author, PTSD Spokesman, Ben Miller:

Today’s new guest co-host is a multi-author, with his most recent project, Dear Billie. We’re trying to help Ben get the word out there on his Kickstarter launch for this book.

Ben Miller was born and raised in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania, graduating Nazareth High School in Nazareth, PA in 1993. Immediately after high school, he enlisted in the US Navy and attended boot camp in Orlando, FL. Miller was then trained in Naval Intelligence and granted security clearance two levels above Top Secret with an additional compartment.

While working overseas with Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron Two (VQ-2) during the Bosnian War, Miller began suffering crippling attacks that military doctors were unable to explain. Miller was transported back to America and based on his exemplary record, he was awarded an early Honorable Discharge. It was later determined by a team of doctors with the Department of Veterans Affairs that Miller suffered from Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia and PTSD, which were both deemed service-connected.

Miller elected to pursue a college degree at Lock Haven University, where he also joined the Kappa Delta Rho fraternity. He graduated in 2001 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications and a Minor in Journalism. It would be four more years and a series of personal tragedies, before Miller began his literary career as a columnist with Exit Zero, a weekly magazine based in Cape May, NJ.

His initial writings were primarily historical in nature, though he also penned the occasional feature story and editorial. In 2008, Miller set his sights on a higher goal, when he created ‘Donate My Weight’, a campaign to use weight loss as a means to raise donations for food banks across America. He appeared on NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX news segments all over the country, along with a series of radio interviews and appearances on the 10! Show, Good Day Philadelphia and the Rachael Ray Show.

In July of 2009, Exit Zero Publishing released Miller’s first book, The First Resort, a hardcover coffee table book that profiles America’s first resort town, Cape May, NJ. The book features 300 full-color pages and details the city’s history from 1609 to 2009, accentuated with over 500 pictures. The First Resort has been well received by critics, historians and fans of Cape May from around the world, selling out of its initial printing after only a few months. The Philadelphia Inquirer named it one of the ‘Top 10 Coffee Table Books of 2009’.

Miller’s second book, In the Land of Exit Zero, was released in 2011. It’s a children’s book focusing on Cape May’s history and all the book’s illustrations are original oil paintings that were commissioned by the publisher. Cape May Moments is Miller’s third book about the region’s history and is currently being edited by the publisher.

As Miller’s disabilities worsened with each passing year, Panic Disorder and PTSD grew into generalized anxiety disorder and depression. Meanwhile, unexpected physical challenges arose, and Miller was diagnosed with severe spinal problems, Meniere’s Disease and the autoimmune disorder, Rheumatoid Arthritis.

A husband and father of five, Miller continues to push back against his struggles and currently sees several private doctors on a regular basis, along with doctors from the VA. He is “Medically Retired” due to his disabilities and rated 100% disabled by the VA and Social Security. Nonetheless, Miller refuses to acquiesce to his conditions and give up living as productive a life as possible.

He is an avid volunteer with fundraising for families in need and non-profit organizations in the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania and in Cape May, NJ. Miller has also voluntered his services to curate three critically-acclaimed museum exhibits for the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts and is scheduled to open his fourth next Spring. For his volunteerism efforts, Miller has received citations and proclamations from the New Jersey Legislature, Senate of Pennsylvania, United States Senate, and the Department of Defense.

Miller’s newest book, Dear Billie – Salvation in the Poconos, is the telling of his personal story from a “top performer with unlimited potential” in the world of Naval Intelligence, to a man who struggles to lead any semblance of a normal life. This book digs deep into Miller’s past and opens doors that had been long locked away in his mind, sharing aspects of his life and faith to remind people that even in the most profound disappointments and personal suffering, there is always hope for a brighter future.

Relationship Minimalism, Part II, After Episode 189:

Have you looked at each Relationship imprinting your life for the future? Today we follow up on a two-part theme around Minimalism with our regular co-host for 2018, Travis Roznos. Travis returns as a follow up to last months, episode 189, to dig deeper into the minimalist actions involving the different Relationship imprints on our lives.

Travis is an ex-corporate ladder climber in the advertising technology space turned catalyst for change in the way the world identifies with and experiences masculinity. Achieving and performing were all that mattered in my twenties until the point where after getting the promotions and making the money, I kept coming back to feeling completely empty. All my intentions and energy were focused on consuming more things external to myself to build up my identity. A lack of having a father figure my entire life has taken me on this journey of untangling myself from the social pressures we feel as men to be a certain way, to prove our manhood. Taking down the masks socially and emotionally has been my path to freedom, natural expression, and purpose. I’ve built a community for men to do the same and it’s called The Drop. As an embodiment coach and a current Wim Hof Instructor in training my focus is to create a path for men that will allow them to cultivate the way of being and discipline to carry out a life of depth and purpose.

Nate lives by a simple mantra of Live What You Teach. In order to truly live and have the life that you want, it’s about taking the small, simple steps, every single day.

If it’s truly something that you want in your life that you don’t currently have right now, make sure you are clear on why it matters so you’ll actually go out and do it on the days that you don’t feel like it. There are always going to be those days that you don’t want to go out and train, you won’t want to send a message to your wife because you had an argument the night before, or you’ll want to yell at your kids even know it’s not what you really want.

Remember WHAT you want and WHY it matters and DO the work every single day.

Trim the relationships that don’t serve you. There are people out there that don’t serve their own space.

Final Words:

Bobby: A man’s mind, once it’s opened up, you can’t go back. Everything we speak about and you promote, once you dive into that, there’s not really a going back. When you dive deeper into your mind, deeper into your physical, deeper into your emotional side, it’s hard to turn back. Be uncomfortable, try new things, just get out there and do you! Whether you love your career or not, the career can provide the lifestyle.

Kim: It’s that idea of the LEAP and the net will appear. Find what it takes to get inspired so you can share. There’s nothing worse than holding back from life and just trying. Go towards an open door, go toward an opportunity. Every time Kim has gone toward an opportunity with all of her heart, it has either taught her something or opened another door. Kim encourages everyone from her 8month old niece, to her 4-year-old nephew to the 31-year-old peer who’s listening, to the 65-year-old mother/father/grandparent to not stop looking for those open doors and moving through them. As soon as you stop moving, you’ll feel stagnancy within you and around you. That is the opposite of vitality. Find the opening, keep moving, and continue to be inspired!

Your Latest Lifestyle Co-Host: An Ultramarathon Endurance Runner, Author of The Legacy Code, Creator of the R.I.C.H Man Experience:

Armando Cruz is a husband, father, adventurer, best-selling author, ultramarathon endurance runner, lifestyle physical therapist, and legacy coach.

Armando helps growth-minded, married men live happier, more connected, and more fulfilled lives. He does this with his immersive coaching program that helps men show up powerfully in their marriage, in their health, in their business, and in their purpose. Armando’s unique approach helps strip away the clutter both internally and externally that is stopping men from showing up daily as the greatest and grandest version of who they are for themselves, their family, and their legacy.

Armando has climbed mountains, run over 50 miles in a day in swamps filled with snakes and alligators, has lived out of his car, and has rollerbladed and surfed in hurricanes but his biggest adventure has been fatherhood.

He is the best selling author of “The Legacy Code: Modern Man’s Guide To Escape Obscurity & Live A Life Unleashed”, the creator of the Cleanse & Renewal Program, the Modern Man Virtual Summit, and the R.I.C.H. Man Experience. He is the co-owner of Cruz Country Fitness & Physical Therapy with his wife, Christian.

He is the proud dad of three amazing children and has been married for 11 years to his beautiful wife, Christian. He and his family reside in sunny Miami, Florida.

If you treat an individual as he is, he will remain how he is. But if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.” – Goethe

Final Words:

BE CURIOUS…

If you are curious, you never stop searching, you never stop seeking what’s around the next corner. Armando is not saying this from the perspective that you are not happy where you are.

Be curious to be excited, to immerse yourself in life and you will see that it will take you a lot further. Too many people try and force things. But if you are curious about what is around the next corner, it is not because you are going to gain something, it is because it is there. That in it of itself, that discovery in and of itself, will be an asset to your life!

From his Twenties to the Thirties, Happy Birthday Inspiration with Travis Roznos:

Our newest regular co-host, Travis Roznos, has returned to discuss some Birthday Inspiration. He’s left his twenties and entered his thirties. We often discuss the impact that this podcast has on the Gen-X and the Millennials. Today, we get to dig deeper into that and its’ relativity. Welcome back Travis Roznos!

Travis is an ex-corporate ladder climber within the advertising technology space turned catalyst for change in the way the world identifies with and experiences masculinity. Achieving and performing were all that mattered in my twenties until the point where after getting the promotions and making the money, I kept coming back to feeling completely empty. All my intentions and energy were focused on consuming more of things external to myself to build up my identity. A lack of having a father figure my entire life has taken me on this journey of untangling myself from the social pressures we feel as men to be a certain way, to prove our manhood. Taking down the masks socially and emotionally has been my path to freedom, natural expression, and purpose. I’ve built a community for men to do the same and it’s called The Drop. As an embodiment coach and a current Wim Hof Instructor in training my focus is creating a path for men that will allow them to cultivate the way of being and discipline to carry out a life of depth and purpose.

• Travis first aired on episode 137: Wim Hof Inspired Purpose Through Masculine Practice with Travis Roznos
• We then aired him again on ep 150: Time to Build Identity Capital with Travis Roznos.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”01:20″] Travis’ unique methodolgies, ice cold water, and more.
• [spp-timestamp time=”02:00″] Tap into your inner strength down to the cellular level.
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:30″] Dating apps.
• [spp-timestamp time=”28:00″] 80% of a workshop can be breath focused.
• [spp-timestamp time=”36:30″] Shoutout to Scott’s former PVIHC firefighting brother, Dalton Lasater. His story, may he rest in peace.
• [spp-timestamp time=”49:00″] Are the millennial’s actually lost or misdirected?!

Final Words:

Summing up the twenties is about being aware that you are in a chaotic time. Most people are, the more aware you are of that chaos, find some ways to slow that down.

1. Mentorship is number one on that assist list.
2. Breathwork is the second most important.

You can completely maintain control of your state if you dig into what is available to you.

[spp-optin]Embracing The Joy of Intimacy with Rabbi Manis Friedman as our latest Co-Host:

World-renowned author, counselor, lecturer and philosopher, Rabbi Manis Friedman uses ancient wisdom and modern wit as he captivates audiences around the country and the world. He hosts his own critically acclaimed cable television series, Torah Forum with Manis Friedman, syndicated throughout North America. Over 150,000 copies of his provocative yet entertaining tapes, both audio and video have been sold.

Rabbi Friedman’s first book, Doesn’t Anyone Blush Anymore? published by Harper San Francisco in 1990, was widely praised and is currently in its fourth printing.

Rabbi Friedman was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1946 and immigrated with his family to the United States in 1950. He received his rabbinic ordination from the Rabbinical College of Canada in 1969.

When he takes the podium, Rabbi Manis Friedman enthuses each of his listeners with a sense of purpose and definite direction. Perhaps his greatest gift of all is his balance of compassion and wisdom.

Get Unplugged From Devices, Social Media and Plugging Into Suicide Awareness with Today’s Millennial Co-Host:

Why do people walk and text? Every Like and Share he got, he would take 5 minutes away from his phone…

Jonathan Clark has an extensive background in dealing with clients and building networks throughout the community. Jonathan just finished his bachelor’s degree at Le Moyne for Marketing. Prior to Le Moyne, Jonathan spent 6 years in the manufacturing industry. He has held positions from shipping/receiving, buyer, and ended his career as a Manufacturing Manager. As a Buyer and Manufacturing Manager, he developed key skills to communicate with vendors, review contracts, and negotiate deals. This experience has led Jonathan to be very good at networking with companies, building a clientele list, and developing relationships with his colleagues.

Jonathan’s drive and passion are truly unbelievable and he continues to push himself further every day. He has publicly said “Set goals for yourself and be sure to stick to pursuing those goals every day. Embrace change, network, and always believe in your own potential”. Jonathan hopes to get his degree and continue building his network and developing relationships with the community.

• [spp-timestamp time=”01:02:30″] Final Words

We sometimes get so invested in our phones, we forget to look up and start a conversation. One day is the goal, the goal to step away from the phone. – Jonathan Clark of UnpluggedCNY

[spp-tweet tweet=”No matter what happens, you cannot let it defeat you. Once it defeats you, that’s it. @UnpluggedCNY “]

The powerful buildup to our normal Final Words:

When you lose somebody so close to you the first time and it becomes something unexpected… and you really don’t understand the why or how it happens or the method behind it… You start to doubt yourself. With what Jonathan, his siblings, and his family went through, it is tragic.

When Jonathan got back to Syracuse, he was in this cloud. He really didn’t know what he was doing, he didn’t know who he was. He still had to continue on with his schooling, it was his last year to finish his degree, more specifically, his last semester.

If life teaches you anything, it teaches you how to deal with troubles. It teaches you how to deal with things that will come up that you have no control over. Jonathan thinks the key to dealing with those things that happen, is to understand that those things are not only going to happen to you, but to people as well. You cannot let those things burden you or bring you down. It’s easy to give up and that’s the hardest thing to understand. It’s so easy to just say no, I’m not going to do this, I’m giving up.

This biggest thing Jonathan learned in that time period and that his family now knows… is that no matter what happens, your family is going to be there. No matter what happens, you cannot let it defeat you. Once it defeats you, that’s it. You have to fight! Jonathan will never stop fighting, he will never stop giving up. He will always push and he will always make himself better each and every day.

Final Words:

If Jonathan can speak to any entrepreneur or future business owner, you are going to deal with situations that you’re not familiar with. You are going to have people come and join your team and are going to leave you because of personal issues. They’re going to leave you because they don’t like the way you run things. They are going to leave you because you’re the boss but they don’t believe in your message.

The most important thing that you have to understand, is that it (your message) comes from your heart. What makes it grow, is from your heart. The passion that you have drives the success of your business. That is all that will drive you to be successful. You can’t give up, you lose a purpose, you gain another.

Jonathan Will Never Stop Fighting!

Your Wim Hof Inspired, Ice Cold, Co-Host of Masculine:

I’m an ex-corporate ladder climber within the advertising technology space turned catalyst for change in the way the world identifies with and experiences masculinity. Achieving and performing were all that mattered in my twenties until the point where after getting the promotions and making the money, I kept coming back to feeling completely empty. All my intentions and energy were focused on consuming more of things external to myself to build up my identity. A lack of having a father figure my entire life has taken me on this journey of untangling myself from the social pressures we feel as men to be a certain way, to prove our manhood. Taking down the masks socially and emotionally has been my path to freedom, natural expression, and purpose. I’ve built a community for men to do the same and it’s called The Drop. As an embodiment coach and a current Wim Hof Instructor in training, my focus is creating a path for men that will allow them to cultivate the way of being and discipline to carry out a life of depth and purpose.

Anna’s Final Words:

I like performing, I like entertaining, and I like feeding people. I like making people laugh and I like feeding people. That’s really what it comes down to. Whenever I am able to have those opportunities to do that, I’m a happy person. Everything else is just part of the journey.

When we talked about the negative stuff coming up, that was really powerful. I feel like that is where the meat of all of this is. If we were all just skipping stones, jumping from one success to the next success, we aren’t learning anything from that journey. There’s that quote from therapy, “If it makes you make it hysterical, it’s historical.”

Unwrapping Karen’s Ageless Passions Story and How She Found Her Passion Again:

On my 44th birthday, I had a low moment. I looked back on my life and thought about the moments of joy. Barefoot water skiing was one of those moments and I just wanted to try experiencing that feeling once more. I tried barefooting the day before and could not even get my feet on the water. So that day, I resigned myself to the belief that it was all over–I’d never be able to experience that passion again. I was filled with regret. Why hadn’t I pursued my passion back when I had the youthful body and energy?

That same year, an unexpected mentor popped into my life via the TODAY show–a 66-year-old barefooter. Judy Myers invited me to Florida, where I met Keith St. Onge, the 2-time World Barefoot Champion. Not only did I barefoot again, I ended up competing for the first time at 45 and wrote a book with the champion— which was endorsed by Tom Ziglar (son of Zig Ziglar), Dan Miller, and Dave Ramsey.

I have trained with the top barefoot water skiers IN THE WORLD. At the age of 50, I can barefoot backward on one foot with my hands in the air. I don’t say this to brag–I share this because as a teenager, I couldn’t even fathom being able to do such advanced tricks on the water.

I love to see others living their passions and enjoying life. As a Passion Test Facilitator, I love teaching the simple steps to “Unwrapping YOUR passion”.

Don’t wait for permission. Don’t wait for perfect. The key is to take action. Act on your dreams. Act on your vision. Let’s work on that, together.

We spend the day with our guests, enjoying conversation, companionship, laughs, family histories, and the happy, eager attentions of our own children and grandchildren.

We eat together—turkey, all the go-withs, and enough homemade sweet potato pies to have seconds. And thirds. And take-homes (wherever Home is.)

Final Words:

Do the exercise! Add up the totality of all your monthly payments. Put those in a financial calculator, compounded at an 8, 9, or 10%. Then look at how much money you’d be worth at the end of your 10, 20, 30, or 40 years IF you would pay yourself and invest that money instead of paying the banks.

It can be so simple and so revealing. We don’t understand what we are giving up and how we are sabotaging our financial futures and robbing ourselves of that financial freedom that we all want. Don’t be victims of good marketing.
