Their entire company and product is rooted in intention, movement, community, and beliefs. They have a passion for bringing awareness to the toxic expectations placed on women in the fitness industry, as well as the often overshadowed, yet pivotal roles women play in business and entrepreneurship.

Timestamped Show Notes:

05:15 – How do we give them the tools to go from unconsciously working out, like mindlessly exercising, it’s the hammering away on the treadmill, while you’re watching an episode of Oprah. Hitting the machines and not really dropping into your body or really experiencing movement. How do you actually learn how to mindfully move your body from the intention of wanting to care for your body, not from the intention of wanting to change the way you look? So you can get external validation and feel good about yourself? Right. So that’s kind of how we got to here!

10:40 – I also think that if you surround yourself with people who are all stuck in the same toxic mindset, then you end up complaining and circulating in that mindset. It’s interesting to me, one of the things that we discovered early on about community was, it is one of the greatest predictors to overall longevity. In fact, I think it was Wendy Suzuki is a neuroscientist that said that it was the number one predictor of longevity is the amount of positive connections you have with other people.

14:30 – I feel like this is something I’ve become really aware of. It’s funny because Katie was the one who came up with this intention as the business was, how do we change people? How do we bring awareness to this toxic weight loss culture we’re stuck in, which is like, do this crash diet, do this workout, do this whatever, and you’ll lose weight and you’ll feel better about yourself. We just said it like a little bit ago, you’ll lose weight, but you won’t feel better about yourself.

23:30 – The goal is just to get people rallied up and consistent. We go over these topics of intention, movement, beliefs, community with them and really dive deep into them. It really changes a lot of people’s lives. What’s really interesting to me about these challenges, is that when people come together in a community, and one person is willing to raise their hand and share, like, Hey, I’m really struggling with this.

34:15 – I think people struggle with that. But again, I think this comes down to that self-worth and I think where we can really differentiate ourselves as a brand is that WeShape isn’t focused on body transformation, losing weight, and all this different stuff. We’re trying to bring to someone’s attention that hey, look at all the magazines and all the internet stuff everything is basically making you feel shitty about yourself. We’re shaping a new way, we’re trying to change the way we’re approaching us. All that stuff out there is making you feel shitty so that you buy their stuff.

40:45 – The mindset work, the psychological work, that is something that we personally have to take accountability for. You have to have a personal accountability and investment yourself.

58:00 – I want them to stop getting stuck in these toxic weight loss cycles. Stop getting stuck in these exercise programs and diets and all this crap and start learning how to appreciate themselves. Teach them to connect with themselves and show up with better intentions and lean into a community who can support them through that.

59:20 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I think what I want to stand for is just showing people that it starts with their opinion of themselves. What you believe about yourself, is what you will do with your life. If you believe that you’re worthless, and you know you’re a failure, and you can’t do all of these things, then there you go. That’s the life that you’re gonna end up creating for yourself. You can believe whatever you want. So you can believe and see all of these positive things about yourself. You can keep training that belief and holding that belief as truth and fortifying that belief through your actions to build it into truth. So that will become your life. It’s just your choice what you want to believe.

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

09:50 – That’s what happened and you know, I just got super inspired and moved out to Southern California and LA when I was 21 years young. I was excited to be in LA, the palm trees, that healthy living lifestyle, all that California has to offer. But when you’re 21 years old and you’re 3000 miles from home, you’re not a fit guy. You have very little professional skills to offer the world. Honestly, that plastic capital, the world is really a better place vibe.

19:35 – That’s human nature to its core. I would say back in the day of 2012, when our brand came to existence, I guess my official franchise, it was the wild wild west. So there was structure there, but not nearly the amount of support and paint by numbers playbook and SOP’s and whatnot that we have today. So I wouldn’t say it was a different timeframe, to your point I found the playbook. Although I did make some edits and tweaks along the way.

30:20 – With that support system, technically, then you’re even more successful. Right? And if you’re coming in as if you didn’t have the system, your mindsets there, you are ready to put in the long hours, the intensity, build your team, build the business, build the brand, build your clientele, and you have a system. Oh, my God, the world could be your oyster, so to speak. It’s rocket fuel!

43:00 – We’re extremely challenging here in 2023. I mean, we’ve had our best year in years for 2022, we’ve just awarded it will be 50 franchise locations this year, our franchise, the brand, the energy is off the charts, our franchise partner locations are the most successful they’ve ever been. So to your point, sometimes you got to go through the mess, and sometimes you got to go through hell to get to heaven.

50:00 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

I think for me the legacy that I want to leave and when people look at me and you know, talk about me and the impact with my connection with them, is I want them to leave with the thought of this guy may be better. I think, generally speaking, as time will continue on, I’ll continue to get more granular on that vision and be able to clarify it even more. But where I’m at right now, from a fitness perspective, from a leadership perspective, a business coach, consultant perspective, really what I’ve tried to do over the last 10 to 15 years in my career, is just leave it better than I found it to add value to people, and help them along the way. Help them have that mindset, because I connected with this guy, because I connected with this organization, because I rubbed shoulders, I’m better off for it. Now I have a duty, obligation, and responsibility to do the same thing for others.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:30 – I’ve actually played around with different processes, I’ve done dehydrate, like, basically hydrated than dehydrated down to the time of my show. It’s been so tight that I’ve tried to lick the water off my toothbrush on that Friday before the show. I know that there are ways of not cutting your water, like this last show, that I did it for.

20:00 – If you actually know what your body fat percent is, that will also play into getting that number into you. A lot of the times I’ll find that people are not as active, they’re not as conditioned. That’s a big key in deciding where your calories are, the more conditioned you are changes that process.

27:30 – So let’s talk about the muscle, if you don’t strength train your muscles, it’s just like going you’re not using it. It’s going to slowly decrease in strength in size. So it’s a muscle that changes size. So the bigger it is, the stronger can be the more blood flow to the to the muscle you get and that it’s hungry. So if you look at my body fat and my muscle, it is a certain percent. You can take somebody else with the same weight, but just a different composition, and maybe they have less muscle mass. I will require more calories, because my I have more muscle to feed. So if you just kind of let that go, you’ll see, like my own BMR is so low. I don’t want to just eat 1200 calories. If you get to increase your muscle size, you’ll also see a correlation with your BMR to go like going up very nice.

38:00 – I’m putting out another book. Actually, my nine year old daughter’s gonna help me write it because I want to help parents with their kids nutrition. She’s nine and she’s very passionate about writing, and eating healthy. All of my kids are but they’re still kids. But you know, we’re still teaching them to look at the labels that you need to know.

55:00 – Digging in to shopping tips and nutrition as we close out the show.

01:03:55 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

I talk about act as if… , and you need to finish that act as if, you know, I was put into a couple of different situations where I didn’t think I didn’t want to land there. But I was there and now I had two decisions I either needed to just kind of feel bad for myself and just kind of like, alright, just throw in the towel, or I need to act as if I know what I’m doing and just get out. That was my point of acting as if we’re going to be in situations where you feel unfit. You’re going to be in a situation where you don’t feel like you’re fit enough to start eating healthy. Or you’re not in the right spot to start taking care of yourself or even to just do some activity. You’ll always feel that way. There’s not going to be a perfect time but you need to act as if that you give a damn, you’re going to need to act as if you can do it. Even though you might not be able to, and that’s my biggest message. It is if you start acting, you’ll start believing, you’ll start doing, and then you’ll be able to celebrate all your accomplishments.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

09:25 – I know a lot of people overthink it, and then because they overthink it, they end up really stalled with paralysis by analysis. So I’ve got to do this, go do that, I haven’t got time for this. I’m gonna, you know, start next month and I think that’s it is very simple and the thing that I think people want to do before anything, and I’ve been doing it since I was a junior bodybuilder, sort of 16-17 years old and I’ve been I’m 52 now. So I’ve been doing it for all my life pretty consistently, I’m a little bit of an anomaly. But I think for the average person that hasn’t done that consistently for years and years and years, then really, the most important thing that you need to focus on is creating a habit, where you’re gonna fit some kind of activity, or movement into your life. I’ve not actually met any people that have not been able to create a habit of cleaning their teeth, at least in the morning, and when they get up and before they go to bed in an evening.

20:30 – For whatever reason, everybody is obsessed, relationships break down for it, everything is really driven about people’s desire for money, what they think money is going to give them.

31:00 – We’ve got a pretty decent process and we’re predominantly business to business. So we work with a lot of gyms trainers, we we have a small part which is direct to consumer, but predominantly, it’s going into clubs. Most of that gives us the ability to plan out a little bit further than people who kind of want to just purchase things immediately.

35:00 – I never thought I’d ever get into unofficially designing my own space. I mean, to be fair, actually, I love the fact you guys actually do design services, which is super cool.

40:00 – You got yoga combined with spinning, boxing, etc. So you got to think of how you’re going to really differentiate yourself. There’s a lot of ways that you can do that, obviously. But a lot of people react to the simple things, I used to be a boxer, and I like boxing, and I know some friends do too, etc. So I’m going to open a boxing gym but then what.

48:22 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

I’ll just remind them of what I said at the beginning. I suppose you think that there’ll be a time where you’ll figure out how to make health and fitness important in your life. I’ve interviewed probably two or three-hundred very successful people in all areas, not just fitness, but in many different areas in business and I think consistently the one thing that that really separates those from anyone else is just finding where that fits into your life. But putting it before everything else in your hierarchy of things to do, stick fitness at the top. I think if you can make that a habit then you’ll find that dealing with all the other stuff that life throws at you on a regular basis including preventing yourself from getting totally destroyed from whatever pandemic happens and everything else that is out there, you won’t go far wrong.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:00 – I never really took a lot of Tylenol, Aspirin, Advil, and all these brand names of anti-inflammatories that we all just take for granted. The fact that we just keep pumping them down our gullets is not okay. It throws everything off, as you know, 70% of our immune system is in our gut. Our body is dependent on the proper healthy gut biome alignment and the body has to be able to handle anything that comes.

21:30 – The most successful people out there can attest, if you’re not embracing change, or remaining open to the influence of possible change for growth, you’re not going to grow because you’re just staying stagnant. It’s like people are going to the MD day after day or week after week getting the same diagnosis. Then it becomes well, we haven’t tried this yet, so let’s try this drug and then let’s try that other drug, etc, etc.

30:00 – The wholistic side is definitely a big part of my business and brand because I believe healing is not just in one area. Chiropractic can’t heal everything. It definitely sets the body up for better healing, it can set up the process to happen more optimally than without chiropractic. But there’s also the nutritional factor and there is the physical factor the fitness and then definitely there’s the mental game where everything happens. First, your mindset and then the spiritual comes in as well. So just being able to be aware of that healing and living holistically unhealthy optimally has a lot of different spectrums to it.

44:00 – I like that broken wing concept. It’s something that I guess it’s a habit, but the mind is so powerful. It’s whatever you say and think that’s what’s going to happen and especially with your body. I always say when I’m talking in my workshops, there are different areas, your cells are always listening, your whole body, your muscles, to whatever you say.

52:50 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

Just thinking about Life, you know, holistically, taking it all in and letting it flow. Things have come to you and I believe in that the more that we allow our bodies to heal and you’re able to let down resistance, we’re able to think more clearly and set clear intentions. Really take care of ourselves in a radical type of way unapologetically. Things will just flow better and we don’t have to work as hard to chase as much or worry as much. Life wants to kind of flow for us and to us, so we have to set ourselves up for that.

False Healthy Halo Co-Host Education:

Today’s episode is a return of certified nutritionist, Erin Sparrold, CN, MET of Mind of the Athlete. Erin returns to catch up on health, nutrition, but most importantly to talk more on this “False Healthy Halo” we’ve been creating overtop of our health and nutritional goals. A reminder, Erin Sparrold is a sports nutritionist with a passion for improving the health and performance of athletes. She has over 20 years of nutrition coaching experience.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

056: Scoring Some Align Therapy with Aaron Alexander

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 17:00:00 +0000

Align Therapy in Your Life

A practice not thought about enough is how we move. If we took the time to analyze how we move we would probably uncover the root causes to most of our joint pain and inflammation. Helping people align their everyday movements is Aaron Alexander a movement coach from Align Therapy. Aaron has literally made courses about movement in our everyday life, such as chopping carrots, getting out of the car and sitting in a chair. Aligning these simple movements would improve your quality of life. Aaron is also a fellow Podcaster with the Align Therapy Podcast.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”01:36″] Dr. Jack Kruse and transitioning from Oregon to California
[spp-timestamp time=”04:56″] The brand Align Therapy and how it came about
[spp-timestamp time=”06:41″] The Power of Podcasting. Aaron has had his podcast for 2 years. He is now approaching 100k downloads per month. When he started his show his numbers were pretty low but after being a guest on other shows his numbers began to pick up.
[spp-timestamp time=”11:04″] Aaron has created courses around literally getting out of a car properly. He is creating a series of videos about the most effective ways to inhabit their bodies. The course should be about in April’17
[spp-timestamp time=”12:24″] It’s the consistency that makes the difference
[spp-timestamp time=”14:41″] It takes time to reprogram. It is a long game. Pulling the best practices from various different worlds, whether it’s CrossFit, Yoga or Martial Arts they all have something valuable to offer. If we can pull from all that and instilling those practices into our daily movement, it will eventually become who we are. Too often we get wrapped up in the quick fix. The way to get past that quick fix is to make it fun and the way to do that is to create activities around it.
[spp-timestamp time=”18:40″] Foam Rolling for mobility and recovery. Making sure your metabolic fire is always running.
[spp-timestamp time=”21:55″] We all have to be open until we have tried it. Give your body that space to step away from your habits.
[spp-timestamp time=”25:04″] Your environment and sleep is key. We always take from the cup but never take the time to ask how to fill it back up.
[spp-timestamp time=”28:38″] Look to the successful. When Aaron is looking at someone’s health, he is looking at the structure organisation around their joints, their skin quality, the elasticity of their tissue, how much they smile, their eye contact and how they relate to people in a social environment, all that is health and it is all things successful people are doing. What are they doing that could be applied to normal life?
[spp-timestamp time=”31:09″] Cycling and paying attention to you posture.
[spp-timestamp time=”36:33″] The effect of dance, art and the curse of handwriting on your creativity.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:04″] Who are you, where are you. The use of standing desks. It’s not about sitting or standing it is about the quality of the way you are sitting or standing.
[spp-timestamp time=”45:21″] Focusing on your mobility. Create a ceremony and an anchor around your sleep or the other things you want to get good at.

051: Your Mitochondria & Biohacking with Dr. Jack Kruse

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 20 Feb 2017 17:00:00 +0000

Mitochondria with a Neurosurgeon Co-Host:

It’s time to take it back and reconnect to nature. Remove ourselves from our devices and take care of one of the most important surface areas on our bodies. Our eyes. Opening our eyes to a whole new world is today’s co-host, Dr. Jack Kruse. Jack is a Neurosurgeon and an optimal health educator. Jack goes beyond Biohacking to Mito-hacking and looks at Mitochondria and health at a quantum perspective. This episode will give you a new found light of your surroundings.

On This Mitochonria Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”02:22″] How health works from a quantum perspective, utilizing light, water, and magnetism. What you will learn from Jacks blog is that food and exercise are not even critical components, there are things that are way more fundamental that drive the process. Jack started with the Quilt Document. He teaches us the power and essential necessity of health Mitochondria in our bodies. When Jack started the blog in 2011, he started with relatively simple things which let to him increasing the content in 2013. That’s when people began really getting interested in what he was saying. Most people thought he was crazy when he started. Light, Water, and Magnetism are the three things that you need to link back to in your own life to understand where you are making the mistakes.
[spp-timestamp time=”06:13″] Jack has gone past Biohacking, he labels himself as a Mito-hacker to focus on the importance of our Mitochondria. Jack use’s a car analogy to describe the difference between Biohacking and Mito-hacking.
[spp-timestamp time=”09:31″] Melatonin is made in your eyes first before your brain.
[spp-timestamp time=”11:36″] Jack is wearing blue light blocking glasses during the interview to protect his eyes and Mitochondria health. The four surfaces of the body that are important to protect are the eyes, skin, gut and lung surface. The single most important is your eyes. Your eyes drive all growth and metabolism pathways in the brain through the central retinal pathway.
[spp-timestamp time=”14:51″] We regenerate Melanopsin Receptors during the day when we are awake.
[spp-timestamp time=”19:25″] Every protein in your body is a hydrated semi-conductor. Albert Szent-Györgyi discovered this in the 1940’s. The key to life is in an electron.
[spp-timestamp time=”23:10″] It took Jack years to implement the knowledge he acquired to finally connecting the dots. Diet and exercise was not working for Jack. He was getting bigger and decided to think about it differently. Jack to a trip to Italy to see Michelangelo’s David. He looked up at him and that was the moment he realized the key was Circadian Biology. After a ton of research, Jack stood up in front of his family and said he was going to lose weight by eating more and exercising less, just by controlling his environment better. He done that for three months and he lost 77lbs. He continued on and in the first year, he lost 133lbs total.
[spp-timestamp time=”29:34″] If you want to improve your sleep, the number one thing you can do is go camping. When camping you are around trees that are making huge amounts of oxygen also you are around infra-red light from the fire, which also helps your mitochondria. Your mitochondria is destroyed by light frequencies.
[spp-timestamp time=”34:31″] Training indoors under blue light is counter intuitive to your workout. Blue light negatively impacts your Mitochondria and a whole lot more.
[spp-timestamp time=”35:40″] The retina in your eye lets about 1% of UV light through. It filters the light down as we need very little to run.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] When Jack met Ruben Salinas and the Stanford glove
[spp-timestamp time=”45:32″] Grounding. We need that connection with nature.
[spp-timestamp time=”48:26″] Your environment is more important than the fuel you put in. The only fuel that is critical is DHA. The fastest way to hurt some is through their eyes.
[spp-timestamp time=”52:25″] Your devices have 50% more blue light than the sun does. Ophthalmologist only look at the eye as a camera. It turns out it is an actually a clock. It’s an eye clock, a circadian clock.
[spp-timestamp time=”57:30″] Jack site is jammed pack full of information.
[spp-timestamp time=”1:00:38″] The word Doctor is originally an agent noun of the Latin verb docēre [dɔˈkeːrɛ] ‘to teach’. and Doctors today have strayed from that.
[spp-timestamp time=”1:04:04″] The Quantlet and it’s launch.
[spp-timestamp time=”1:08:17″] Final Words

Reconnect with nature. We are animals that are built to connect to the surface of this planet and the sun. That’s what drives every single program in you. You have a Doctor in you that was put there by mother nature. That Doctor is all your bodies semiconductors. All you have got to do is get out of the way of your beliefs, culture, society, civilization, friends and family. Block a lot of that. Once you become aware of that and get out of the way, reconnect with nature and watch the doctor inside of you perform what it is capable of.

050: A Healthy 50th Podcast with Mind of the Athlete

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 17 Feb 2017 17:00:00 +0000

50th Podcast with 2 Co-Hosts!

Welcome to our 50th podcast of LIVETHEFUEL. For this milestone Episode, we are joined by Dr. Megan Cannon and Erin Sparrold of Mind of the Athlete. This episode is about taking the time to be more aware of the people around us and to start inflicting positive change in our lives and the people around us. Start making the complex, simple. We bring back Dr. Megan and Erin to take the mental and nutritional standpoints and help you cultivate your positive change.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”02:31″] Re-Building a healthy body image from a mental and nutritional standpoint.
[spp-timestamp time=”05:29″] Helping people understand the benefits and the power of food, is hugely important. Knowledge is power and unfortunately, right now in the media, there is so much negative information surrounding food and nutrition. There is so much pressure put on people and negative messaging that people do not understand the positive powers food has to help you build your health.
[spp-timestamp time=”08:00″] Body Image. You have to work with the body you have got. We are given these visual ideas of what we think our bodies should look like. But that does not always match up with the reality of our own biology.
[spp-timestamp time=”11:08″] Perceptual body image.
[spp-timestamp time=”14:14″] The image that we are holding ourselves to is not a healthy way to live day to day. People that compete in body sculpting, bodybuilding and physique competitions do not live like that 100% of the time.
[spp-timestamp time=”16:54″] You can’t sustain a high level of performance consistently, you have to let your body and mind rest. That’s why there are training cycles.
[spp-timestamp time=”18:00″] How you talk to the down curve. You need to have other things, other goals and not be setting your whole identity around one pillar. Having a sole focus is never healthy because the come-down from achieving that focus or goal can be really hard.
[spp-timestamp time=”19:55″] Why people struggle to handle the transition from the journey to the destination
[spp-timestamp time=”21:46″] Being aware and noticing behavioral changes. Don’t be scared to check in with people to see how they are doing. It gives the person who requires the help an outlet to talk.
[spp-timestamp time=”24:41″] Having the dialog, being honest with each other. It helps normalize the down after competing.
[spp-timestamp time=”26:02″] Holding ourselves accountable to be more aware of what’s actually happening with the people in our lives.
[spp-timestamp time=”29:25″] Listen for the things that people are doing right and tell them that’s awesome. Build on the positive stuff people are doing rather than the things they are not doing right. Those small lifting moments helps build the positive habits in others. Those little bits of encouragement can be very powerful.
[spp-timestamp time=”31:53″] It’s not the massive things we need to try and change, it’s the small things. Take 5 minutes to check in with someone. You have no idea the impact it will make on them.
[spp-timestamp time=”33:26″] Simple things we could be doing right now.
[spp-timestamp time=”35:42″] It’s the simple things. We need to be taking complex things from our lives and start breaking them down into very simple steps.
[spp-timestamp time=”38:22″] Final Words of our 50th Podcast

044: Silicon Valley, Cancer, Paleo, Sleep with Kevin Cottrell

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 27 Jan 2017 17:00:00 +0000

Sleep focused, Paleo fed co-hosting:

The key to fitness, health and wellness are sleep. With poor sleep comes poor foundations. With poor foundations, we cannot build. Everything will come crashing down. People through time have worn a lack of sleep, due to hustle and getting stuff done, as a badge of honor. It’s time to put to bed that misconception with Episode 44 and our co-host Kevin Cottrell of fitfluentialradio.com and the HealthCast Now Podcast. Kevin found out the hard way. Through poor lifestyle and environmental choices, Kevin developed a Melanoma Cancer. Although he was a fit guy, his fitness was built upon a foundation of poor sleep. Kevin made critical lifestyle choices and is now healthier than ever. This episode is about the importance of sleep and lifestyle choices.

[spp-tweet tweet=”Light, Water, Magnetism, #Fat Kevin to #Fit Kevin #biohacker @kevincottrell @LIVETHEFUEL “]

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”01:22″] Kevin left College in the 80’s, he went back to where he grew up in the Palo Alto area. Kevin got involved in a number of startups in the 90’s, he was the typical Biz Dev Executive working 80-90 hours, traveling excessively, not getting enough sleep but he worked out every day. He thought he was on track. Then came the late 90’s into 2001 and the Dot Com crash. He had stock options on a startup that went public. The shares went from $100 a share to $1 a share in 60 days. An inner layer of stress started to form. Kevin was a guy, during that period of his life that thought sleep was overrated. As long as he kept working out things would be OK. Moving forward to the summer of 2006, Kevin had a mole removed, just a straight forward procedure. He gets a calling saying he needs an emergency procedure to remove some skin from his neck as he has a pretty serious Melanoma (Type of Skin Cancer).
[spp-timestamp time=”03:55″] One of the things Kevin got really good at as an Executive was when lots of drama and chaos comes up, Leadership and Executives fall into one of two camps, they are either a problem solver or you are part of the problem and chaos. Kevin had developed quite a good reputation as a problem solver so he began systematically asking questions at the Doctors office about the problem. He kept a level head despite the stress surging through his body.
[spp-timestamp time=”06:02″] At the point in time Kevin had the Cancer, he had the belief the Cancer was to do with family history but he came to find out since then it was much more to do with his lifestyle that put him at risk than it was any family history.
[spp-timestamp time=”07:33″] In 2009 Kevin was known as ‘Fat Kevin’. Now he wasn’t obese, but he looked obese. He was heavier and started to trend towards type 2 diabetes. This was from following the conventional advice from the Doctors. He was back to working out at four in the morning five times a week. He wasn’t getting enough sleep and was starting to move towards a different direction from a lifestyle stand point. He knew something was not right still. After listing to a Podcast about the Paleo Diet, Kevin knew he had to start looking into it. It wasn’t about the diet he was interested in, it was the lifestyle concept. A Doctor Friend, Dr. Jack Kruse, challenged him to go look at the incidents of melanoma and look at the further you are from the equator are the incidents. Kevin started to change his lifestyle. He began to focus on sleep and getting a healthy dose of sunlight. What happened was he got really healthy. His blood marker ratings went from a 6 to less than 1. He dramatically reduced the inflammation in his body. All by changing his environment and his lifestyle.

“Here’s a great before/after picture. First (left) was 2009. Right 2016. FYI, the weight difference is less than 10 lbs showing massive inflammation.” Do you sleep enough?!

[spp-timestamp time=”13:38″] Key Bio Markers, BUN to Creatinine Ratio, Blood Marker for Inflammation. Vitamin D levels. If you are in an environment where you have way too much blue light, you are indoors way too much, you can take Vitamin D Supplements or even Sun outside and remarkably our bodies do not react.
[spp-timestamp time=”16:28″] Kevin takes fewer supplements now. He concentrates on core lifestyle changes. Getting out and getting sunlight. Anchoring his Circadian rhythm.
[spp-timestamp time=”19:52″] Sleep is something we do have control over. The fastest way to wreck yourself is not to get enough sleep but also hormonally wack yourself by not sleeping correctly based on the light cycle.
[spp-timestamp time=”22:00″] Melatonin Production. Coincidences of low Melatonin and chronic diseases. Stop playing Russian Roulette with sleep. You can whack your Melatonin in a number of different ways. The first is not sleeping enough and not sleeping at the right times.
[spp-timestamp time=”24:50″] Your body needs to recover. Building a building or building a house. If your light/dark cycle and Circadian rhythm is out, you should be working our less, it is the quickest way to burnout. True health and wellness is built on the foundation of good sleep and good nutrition.
[spp-timestamp time=”33:12″] Focus on your foundation. Be clean. Eat real food that is nutrient dense. But if you are having problems focusing on the circadian alignment. Do some of the non-intuitive things, take a look at some of your lifestyle choices, are you poisoning yourself with blue light at night or are you falling asleep with the TV on in the bedroom or are your blood markers showing you have massive inflammation, focus on that then come back and look at your workouts. Workout less more is not better.
[spp-timestamp time=”35:41 “]Quality over quantity and less is more. Audit your light/dark cycle and sleep.
[spp-timestamp time=”37:39″] Inflammation is a fire going on in your body. FitFluential is re-framing the dialog so they can help people be their own health advocates.
[spp-timestamp time=”41:44″] Optimization and longevity
[spp-timestamp time=”42:41″] Don’t depend on healthcare, rebuild your foundations. Start surrounding yourself with knowledge.
[spp-timestamp time=”47:09″] Final Words @fitfluential on LIVETHEFUEL

Terms and Meanings

Circadian:
A circadian rhythm /sɜːrˈkeɪdiən/ is any biological process that displays an endogenous, entrainable oscillation of about 24 hours. These 24-hour rhythms are driven by a circadian clock, and they have been widely observed in plants, animals, fungi, and cyanobacteria.
Epigenetics:
The study of changes in organisms caused by modification of gene expression rather than alteration of the genetic code itself.
Melanoma:
A type of skin cancer that can spread to other organs in the body
Blood Marker for Inflammation:
If you have inflammation in a part of your body then extra protein is often released from the site of inflammation and circulates in the bloodstream. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and plasma viscosity (PV)blood tests are commonly used to detect this increase in protein
BUN Creatinine Ratio:
BUN/creatinine is the ratio between blood urea nitrogen (BUN), a waste product in the blood from protein metabolism, and creatinine. This ratio is used to help determine if kidney function is impaired due to a damaged or diseased kidneys or another factor outside of the kidneys.
Key Biomarkers:
Biomarkers are key molecular or cellular events that link a specific environmental exposure to a health outcome

People Mentioned

Final Words

Effects on our lifestyle and our environment on the epigenetics side are the switches that you turn on or off. This is not only for health and wellness but also the dark side meaning, chronic diseases, and potentially early death. You should be focusing on optimizing our lifestyle and environment. In other words, we are not going to be optimized if we are inadvertently destroying our foundation.

Don’t fall prey to the argument of, I am going to just eat more healthy or exercise more because if the foundations are destroyed it is not going to work. Focus on sleep, focus on a circadian optimization plan, which is the light/dark cycle and eliminating the things that get you off track.

Final Words on Balance

Right now Erin and Dr. Megan Cannon of Mind of the Athlete are working hard to bring about some change in how people approach their bodies and their health. They are starting a program and launching a group that is meeting at Mind of the Athlete, starting January 9th 2017 called BALANCE. It is all about approaching your body image and your nutrition from a healthy place to build health. More than focusing on trying to lose weight. A lot of people miss the boat trying to make the number on the scale smaller. They make themselves much less healthy. Sometimes they just don’t know how to do it well.

[spp-timestamp time=”02:19″] What people are freaking out about this new year. We all want and make the same goals in the New Year, Lose weight and get our financials in order.
[spp-timestamp time=”02:50″] New Year resolutions. 75% of people who set New Year’s resolutions give up within the first 30 days. People don’t spend enough time on who they are and what make’s them tick, and function every single day. It is something that is key to health and finance.

[spp-timestamp time=”11:09″] Budgeting and saving for a trip to Italy. Booking trips with Google Flights. Setting up a saving’s account for just travel.
[spp-timestamp time=”12:53″] If there are important things in your life you want to pay for, set up an account and have your money automatically transferred to your account. Even if it is only 2% or 3%. Cut out what does not matter to you and reallocate it to other areas of your life.
[spp-timestamp time=”14:52″] Prioritization. It is really easy to get distracted.
[spp-timestamp time=”16:41″] Digit and other apps
[spp-timestamp time=”18:56″] The power of your success is down to the power of your network. Also discussing using tax refunds properly

[spp-timestamp time=”26:53″] Emergency funds and added expenses funds.

Be more intentional. You can do anything in the world that you want. But you can’t have everything. Your savings are important. Look at your expenses, does what your spending align with your values and goals? If it doesn’t start to make a few tweaks so that it does.

033: The Secret Life of Fat Author Dr. Sylvia Tara PhD

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 19 Dec 2016 17:00:00 +0000

Fat… Understand It, Know It, Beat It:

Knowledge is power and a lot of us certainly have not been educated when it comes to understanding Fat. On this episode, we talk with Dr. Sylvia Tara. Sylvia holds a PhD in biochemistry from the University of California at San Diego and an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. She was a consultant with McKinsey & Company and has worked at some of the world’s largest biotechnology companies. She lives in the Los Angeles, California area. Sylvia is now the author of The Secret Life of Fat. The book brings together years of research to reveal its’ true identity… as an endocrine organ. The right amount, is critical to our health.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”02:17″] What got Dr. Sylvia into Biochemistry and more specifically into Fat
[spp-timestamp time=”04:06″] We think of this as excess calories from overeating which triggers it to be stored for later use. We have too much and we must get it off right away. We actually need to stop living the “Low Fat’s” lifestyle and get back to Healthy Fats. It is actually an endocrine organ, meaning it is producing hormones that are releasing into our bloodstream. Our bodies depend on those hormones for so many things. These cells keep our immune system, along with our bones strong. Even our brain size is linked to healthy fats.
[spp-timestamp time=”05:54″] The hormone that your fat produces and distributes is called Adiponectin. It helps guide it back to your fat tissue through your blood stream. It helps clear the blood of Triglycerides and also toxins.
[spp-timestamp time=”07:41″] Visceral fats, Nutritional Cleansing, fasting and sending your organs on vacation
[spp-timestamp time=”12:53″] Intermittent fasting
[spp-timestamp time=”16:34″] What is a calorie
[spp-timestamp time=”19:43″] Know your fat and understand it
[spp-timestamp time=”21:44″] Fat is an obsession, it’s a dirty word. The four letter word “Diet”
[spp-timestamp time=”24:50″] Position on liposuction
[spp-timestamp time=”25:58″] We are all born with a certain amount of stable fat cells.
[spp-timestamp time=”26:45″] Obesity. Our bodies are good at adapting to the environment. Our stem cells can even create fat cells in the absence of food.
[spp-timestamp time=”28:16″] You are not just shrinking a reserve of calories, you are shrinking an organ. Leptin is a hormone that your fat cells produce. It’s the “Master Hormone” That Regulates Body Weight and is tied to a lot of your major organs including your brain.
[spp-timestamp time=”30:16″] #NSNG
[spp-timestamp time=”35:10″] Human Growth Hormone. The body creates it’s own HGH, Dr. Sylvia shares examples of when it is naturally produced.
[spp-timestamp time=”37:06″] The benefits of fasting, detoxing and your body cleaning itself out
[spp-timestamp time=”37:48″] The Grain Brain
[spp-timestamp time=”39:50″] Understanding your body vs diets
[spp-timestamp time=”41:34″] Looking to lose 10lb’s in the next 24 hours. A free give away on Dr. Sylvia’s website
[spp-timestamp time=”43:06″] Take the time to understand what this is and what it actually does for your body. Weight loss is really hard. There is not a quick fix, it’s about a new lifestyle.
[spp-timestamp time=”44:33″] Using chocolate as a reward during a fasting period.
[spp-timestamp time=”46:22″] Willpower. It’s like a battery, you have to put in the reps to keep it charged.
[spp-timestamp time=”48:07″] A traditional MD or the average everyday Doctor does not know anything about nutrition.
[spp-timestamp time=”52:24″] There is no cookie cutter solution. We are all different.
[spp-timestamp time=”53:42″] Your ab’s are not made in the gym, they are made in the kitchen
[spp-timestamp time=”57:02″] Put in the reps, hone your craft
[spp-timestamp time=”58:30″] Kristy Jo Hunt. Throwing out the scales. Using archaic BMI readings
[spp-timestamp time=”01:01:40″] Final Words

Final Words

Empower yourself. Fat control may seem elusive, and it might seem like you have tried things but failed. The more you know, the more you can manage your fat. Knowledge is power. Fat is not what you think it is. It’s not just a reserve of excess calories. It’s not something you have to get rid of at all costs. You can have fat and be healthy. More importantly, you have to understand your fat. You have to understand it is an organ. It’s not just sitting there. You have to know how to work with it and not against it if you’re really want to manage your fat.

Final Words

When any of us go through those dark times, we go through those struggles, which inevitably happen to us. They get thrown at us, we get curve balls and the most important thing to remember is it is not permanent. Right now you may be stuck at this moment. It may appear to last forever, and you can’t see the end of the tunnel, but it is there.

When we go through things, when there are those struggles, it’s that awareness, that ability to see that there is another side of this. It’s not permanent. You can get help. You can get resources. You can get out of it with the aid of others, companies, podcasts, etc.

Final Words on NSNG

We make way to much of this. The weight loss industry is a multi-billion dollar industry, and we are over thinking it. Cut out the Sugars and Grains (NSNG). Make that your foundation, just tweak everything else to suit your body. Then move a little and do some exercise.

This is all simple stuff. We all make far too much of it. Don’t over think things. Especially Women, because they are very hard on themselves if they “Cheat” or “Fall off the wagon.” We all get knocked off once in a while. You just got to get back on.

004: Physical Therapy Startups with Travis Robbins MSPT, CSCS, FAAOMPT

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 12 Sep 2016 14:00:00 +0000

Today, we are onsite with the Physical Therapy Startup man himself, Travis Robbins. He’s one of the well-known physical therapists in the Greater Lehigh Valley of Eastern Pennsylvania. Robbins is the right guy in this show because he can help you understand why therapeutic exercise along with functional training are the cornerstones of good health and lifestyle. All while showing us the trials and tribulations of starting up a business.

Physical therapists examine their clients and develop an actionable plan of care that restores function, promotes movement, reduces pain and prevents disability. They work with a patient, family members, and other healthcare providers to make sure goals of the plan of care are carried out, and the patient outcomes are optimal. Part of their work is to ensure that there is balance in health, business, and lifestyle.

As it always, this is a great entertaining conversation show packed with great ideas and content that you can translate into your life, in order to FUEL your internal fire. Tune in and enjoy your dose of LIVETHEFUEL.

Today’s Physical Therapy Co-host

Travis Robbins is the co-owner of Robbins Rehabilitation and the proud father of four children Macy, Harrison and Cade, Delaney. He was born in Upstate New York and grew up milking cows on his parent’s dairy milking farm. Just like other children growing up in American ‘not affluent’ neighborhoods, Travis participated in sports like baseball, basketball, and football.

Travis holds Master of Science Degree in Physical Therapy from Ithaca College. He developed the passion of pursuing further studies in physical therapy after a lot of injuries while basketball, football and playing baseball in high school and university.

In 2003, he left his position as a clinical director of a large corporate physical therapy center to start Robbins Rehabilitation. This center is based in Allentown, Pennsylvania and has highly trained and experienced physical therapists. However, they have also opened other offices,now totaling five different locations, all committed to the word “better”. They have better therapists who guarantee better results. All of this means that their clients have a better experience.

In this episode you’ll hear:

[01:02] When did they start Robbins Rehabilitation? The struggles that Travis has encountered and where the motivation came from. How he manages to move forward despite many challenges.
[10:14] It is not a lack of resources but the lack of resourcefulness, and this is what makes many people get stuck or want to quit in what they do.
[12:02] Why an employee’s mentality is dangerous? How you break this mold.
[18:02] Getting recommendations by your medical practitioner; is it legal?
[22:19] The power of freedom of thought and decision. How Travis and his team are getting that message out there in their marketing. How do they get clients despite the strong competition out there?
[27:02] What do the physical therapists and PTA’s do. How can you become one of them or what qualifications are needed?
[34:14] The importance of scalability in business building.
[37:00] What Travis and his team are doing differently that sets them above their competitors.
[41:11] No matter what industry you are in or whatever you are doing right now, look at what other industries are doing and get the motivation and experiences from them.

And Much Much More

Travis started Robbins Rehabilitation together with his twin brother, Todd Robbins, in 2003. They had some money saved up, which they used to open a small center in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He got the motivation and the financial support from his wife. In fact, Travis reveals that through everything that he has done or screwed up, his wife has always been there for him.

You have to put part of yourself (not your entire self) into anything you are doing to achieve success. When you run into obstacles, if you are still around, you have to find a way around it. You have to become more resourceful.

Travis and I also discussed a little bit about employee’s mentality vs an entrepreneur’s mentality. People are always going to direct you to do what they’re doing right. They will always discourage you from doing what your heart desires. They will tell you that you can’t manage or succeed. You need to break the mold. I mean people who get out, can create change and new beginnings.

We also touched a little bit about the freedom of thought and decision nowadays, which I think too many people are afraid of. There are several physical therapists and physical therapy businesses out there, the competition for clients or patients in this sense, is very high. Travis revealed that they go after the 93 % of patients who don’t get a prescription from their medical practitioners, and use various marketing strategies to reach them.

Another thing that we discussed in this episode is scalability. If you want to build something that is successful, you have got to figure out your system. And part of the system has to be scalability. So if you are interested in that, then read The E-Myth by Michael Gerber.

Finally, I have a small request

Since this is my brand new show, I’ve got zero clout in the world right now. It takes a lot of work to bring something like this to fruition.

002: Living the Startup Life with Steve Boerner and David Gritz

Scott Mulvaney — Sun, 04 Sep 2016 18:00:00 +0000

Since this only our 2nd startup show, I decided to mix things up and go out live and in person. So no home studio for this episode, we’re mobile! We are live and onsite with Steve Boerner and David Gritz in their Hatch House Ventures, Bethlehem, PA location. So yes, not one, but two co-hosts for this episode. To my right and next to me is Steve Boerner and to his right is David Gritz.

We review different successful morning routines. Steve discusses his visual practice vs David discussing his spreadsheet style that clicks better with his own processes. You can’t just picture yourself in a Lamborghini and it just happens, you own one. This goal setting takes daily practice that builds to annual success. Steve highly recommends the physical documentation process of your goals.

Today’s Startup Co-Host(s)

David I met through what else, our love of networking professionally. David Gritz is an entrepreneur, real estate investor, public speaker, and marketing expert. He serves as the vice-President of Hatch House Ventures. David joined the company after leaving an influential corporate position in the IT space. In the past three years that he has worked for Hatch House Ventures, he has bought, sold, and rented out over 15 properties with revenues nearing $1M annually. His mandate is to search and acquire future Hatch House locations. He has also helped run a successful Kickstarter campaign for a high impact exercise mat called Perfect Burpee. That same Kickstarter project was how we first worked together. He wanted to run a fitness gala to promote his startup Kickstarter. I love the Kickstarter campaigns and I never thought I’d actually get involved in one. It just so happened that they had already run a gala event up in Boston and then they needed to run one here in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. Since then we’ve been helping each out through mutual projects, networking events, and even helping to further motivate me to launch this Podcast.

Steve Boerner serves as the President and founder of Hatch House Ventures. He founded the company in November 2014, taking him around seven months to plan and execute. Steve is a serial entrepreneur who knows how to get and sustain success. He left the corporate world in 2013 after working for four years at Fortune 500 company. He also runs a consulting company called Gen-Y Consultants, which focuses on helping individuals and businesses market to millennials. Steve also works as an Adjunct Professor of Practice at the Horn School of Entrepreneurship at the University of Delaware.

Steve Boerner and David Gritz together run this exciting startup support project known as Hatch House Ventures. Did you know you can actually live among other startups to grow your community, networking, and overall supportive surroundings to launch a more successful business. We are working together, hit it off right and working together to support and promote their startup community.

As you can see, these two gentlemen are truly committed to taking their Virtual Incubator Network nationwide. As usual, this is a great insightful conversation packed with content and great ideas you can translate into your life to FUEL your internal fire.

“We are the average of the five people we spend the most time with”, Jim Rohn

As someone who has been a serial entrepreneur, Steve Boerner is someone who is definitely trying to make a mark in this newer generation of startups. During our session, we moved from the morning routines right into the power of manifesting your future success.

You are truly the product of the five people you spend the most time with. Jim Rohn was a powerful mentor and this is just one of his famous quotes that we discussed.

The three of us get into some major differences between them that they’ve learned to use as a way to feed off of each others strengths vs weaknesses. Part of this lesson that we discuss also centers around how we all need to adapt to different learners. As professionals and even personally in our relationships we must recognize how people learn from us differently. A popular method to study is recognizing individuals differences with the VAK or Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic Learning Styles.

Use social media to your advantage. Control how you exist online and in business by pushing your own controlled content out over your own social media channels. Make sure you exist in the right way. LinkedIn is a great professional platform for just that, whether you’re an individual professional, a small business, or a major company.

Currently Hatch House has a network of 4 locations that are startup accelerators and incubators, as they do overlap right now. They do admit that they seem their niche in the industry pushing them more towards the accelerator business model. Bethlehem’s flagship location is one of the few locations that has the live in component. Not all Hatch Houses support the community residential model. This Lehigh Valley based location receives applications from all over the world for people to come stay here and work here for 12 months. The network here helps provide resources for professional networking, funding sources, and more.

They’ve since scaled their model into a licensing model to partner with higher education institutions so that these larger institutions can plug into the Hatch House resources while plugging in a working startup support model to their own campus offerings.

Open your circle of influence with Hatch House. A different spin on networking and growing your international connections from within a safe community of like-minded professionals. “It’s the only thing, nothing exists without that”.

For our startup residents, we look at their businesses to help them with their numbers, planning for employee growth, helping coach them on better hiring practices. They encourage collision within the house and online virtually between their Hatch House communities.

If you’re doing this right, everyone should have the best practices, be building lists, the best books, the best podcasts, the best network connections to fall back on and more.

Next steps are entrepreneurship courses, new services for the University customers, and a new book coming soon! Final notes from Steve and David. David leaves us with one core word, which is “Discipline”. Applying discipline in business, refine things into a process, you’ll get a more predictable outcome. Health can be improved through discipline through nutrition, exercise and the lifestyle you build within your network. Steve leaves us with the value of building “Habits”. We’re programmed to build habits. Your startup work must involve creating bulletproof consistency without even thinking about it. But it takes daily commitment to ensuring those tasks and activities build into those successful habits.

LIVETHEFUEL is an online audio podcast hosted by myself of course. Part of my goal(s) is to help share the stories, lessons, and knowledge attained from the struggles and life successes of my co-hosts aka guests. These are highly active people from all walks of life, including the people from the fitness profession like coaches and gym owners. We’ll also be focusing on startups, entrepreneurs, Internet marketers, along with all of our diverse health professionals and some fellow adrenaline junkies along the way. These people not only standout in their professions, they also have the confidence to live life with more adventure and take the necessary risks with rewards to build an epic lifestyle!

The primary goal of these episodes is to FUEL your internal fire while helping you realize that LIFE IS SHORT! I also share practical steps and tools, including strategies, smartphone apps, audiobooks, websites, stories and training courses that will support you in every step you make to improve your life. So go after your dreams and conquer that next, supposedly, unattainable goal!
