31:45 – I mean, that’s not a good way to do it, but it works. But then it’s something as simple as, Hey, make an FAQ section, right? What are frequently asked questions because you’re adding keyword content into your site that directly aligns with your brand, and, to your point, directly aligns with common customer complaints, questions, etc. You can still have that, but then, to your point, have the interactive model now available too for people who want to interact with something so they don’t want to click click and then go and read, great. Have the Chatgpt supported feature too, so you have it physically in there, but then you have the automated interaction component as well.

48:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I would say, look at anything you’re doing. Look at all the wasted time. Look at something you could do more efficiently and find the right tool for it. You’d be shocked. Like one of the things we ran into an issue with recently is YouTube thumbnails are really important. Like, it’s one of the number one things that if you don’t have a good thumbnail, your CTR, your click through, rates gonna be terrible. So we actually went out and found a software. It’s an AI software called upscale any image, and it takes a terrible, low resolution image, and using AI, it scales it up and fixes the resolution. That’s a game changer. So look at things you’re doing. Look at just for image resolution, right? Just for image resolution, not for video. There is other software for video, but I’ve used a couple, and they’re not that good yet. So look at what you’re doing, and look at where you could do it better, and look where you need help, and look where you can get more efficient. You don’t have to do it the hard way. You know, work smarter, not harder. And I think there’s a lot of the right AI tools out there for that.

37:20 – This is where the story gets even better. So we were working with a small publisher. Then I get messages from people, hey, is your book sold out? I’m like, Whoa, that’s incredible. I’m now getting messages from people, your book is out of print. I’m like, what my book is out of print? You just launched it. So here’s what I find out my publisher. Things weren’t going so hot for the publisher, but they didn’t publicly share that, and apparently they went out of business on the day my book launched, and nobody could get my book, and I had to find another publisher that was willing to pick the book up, which actually ended up being a better it ended up being a better opportunity for us, because it was a much bigger publisher. But that was wild man like trying to recover from that.

55:30 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

The thing that really made me look at it is my kids. Because one of the biggest things that has been an issue now is, we seem to forget that there’s two genders on planet Earth. It’s not Baskin Robbins man. There’s not 37 different ones. And I think when I looked at the way it’s a threat to kids, is the thing that made me look at like, how am I gonna feel if I didn’t stand up for my kids? And I think that’s what it came down to is whether people like me or don’t like me. I really don’t care. But I can look my kids in the face every day and say, you know what, your dad’s trying to make this world better for you. Because he wants you to have a world like he grew up in. I think that’s what we need to be continuing to forward, it is what you’re doing, creating this world to be better for your kids. I think when we’re not looking at it that way, man, you gotta really take a hard look in the mirror.

Scott Mulvaney — Thu, 26 Oct 2023 15:30:00 +0000

How Do You Break Through The Noise Today? Digging Deeper Into Podcasting and Digital Marketing with Tom Schwab:

Have you ever thought your digital marketing might actually be hurting your business? That you are not “breaking through the noise”, you are just adding to it? Perhaps you are not “one funnel away”. Maybe that funnel is stopping the big fish you want. Our guest today has a refreshingly new view.

Quote: “Big fish don’t swim through funnels and whales don’t click”

Tom Schwab asks you to consider that you are just One Conversation Away. That’s his experience and that data working with over 700 leading brands as the Chief Evangelist Officer at Interview Valet. If you want a rich life and a profitable business, Tom believes you are just One Conversation Away.

Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:

Strength in Podcasting and Digital Content.
Sharing is Caring for Digital Marketing.

Timestamped Show Notes:

10:30 – So it’s interesting, I mean, there’s a lot of problems in the world today. But there is no better time to be alive, right?! Think about it, we can create in the way that’s easiest for us. For me, it’s the same way, over podcasts, I can talk. But you know, writing a blog, that’s a homework assignment, but we can talk and then we can repurpose it either with technology or the people helping us and make blogs out of it, make videos out of it, etc. You know, I always say if I talk for 45 minutes, my team can find like two minutes of genius in there.

21:15 – I have gone through a few microphones and always want to sound better. If you talk you want the good quality, right? In podcasting, we must take pride in our audio quality.

29:45 – There’s a great marketing phrase out there, you’re just one funnel away. I also think it’s the biggest lie out there, because what works for small transactions does not work for high ticket relationship sales? Everybody keeps saying, oh, you’re just one funnel away. Tell me Scott, the best things in your life, right, does your wife come through a funnel? Ha!

34:00 – Well, I had a client that came to me and I said, well, why do you want to do podcast interview marketing? I loved his answer. He was a high level consultant. He said, because he thinks most of digital marketing today is the equivalent of advertising above urinals.

40:00 – Even if it’s all automated and a funnel, it doesn’t matter because you’re wasting their time. It’s like, why don’t you get five leads and five customers? That’s one of the things I love about podcasting. Somebody’s listening to you. You’re either their guy or you’re not. If you are great, then they reach out to you and ask how can we work together. They self select, but if you’re not a good fit for him, then fine, but let’s figure that out early on. Because at the end of the day, we don’t need more leads, we need more need more sales.

52:00 – For example, we just mentioned Sopranos. There was a seasonality to it. Each season can change in the theme, so you’re not locked in. So this season, we can talk about health this season, or we talked about business. So as different things come up, you can focus on it.

01:15:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

The thing that’s on my heart right now is we all know something that is ordinary to us and is amazing to other people, right? Through our lives, through our experiences, through our mistakes, we’ve learned things. We are blessed to be a blessing. So I believe that we’ve got a responsibility to share that with other people. What they do with it is up to them. But you know, I used to be able to say, well, if I got up to the pearly gates, and and they say, you were taught all these things, well, how come you didn’t teach somebody else that I could say, well, you don’t understand. I live in southwest Michigan. There’s nobody around me to teach it to, and that’s not true. Now with technologies, the podcast hosts, as a podcast guest, writing blogs, writing books, whatever it is, what’s ordinary is amazing to others. We’re blessed to be a blessing. In your own way, I would encourage you to share what you have learned with other people, because it will help them and it will help remind you of what you’ve learned along the way.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

04:30 – So at Devchat.tv, we had podcasts, and it was just a podcast network as the focus. So what we were doing is we were releasing shows in a number of different areas. JavaScript is something that I think a lot of people have heard about if you’ve been on the web. We had shows on Ruby, React is JavaScript for the web. So we have shows about all kinds of stuff like that. I’m looking, at this point, pulling together a couple of shows and putting out products now and that’s where the rebrand came in. So some of the new shows are going to be on game development and then the products are going to center around Front-End Web Development, game development, machine learning, security, stuff like that. Those, those are the the areas where, like it or not, I mean, that’s where things are growing. So effectively, the rebrand came into play when I went through a period in 2019, where the not so nice people on Twitter decided they wanted my business to crash and burn.

10:00 – Ultimately that was the other thing, a lot of the questions I get are, how do I advance? How do I move out? How do I move ahead? My answer is mostly you got to do stuff that people aren’t doing. So that’s consistent learning, consistent practice, consistent growth, meeting other people. It is building your network beyond your local community, making contributions to the community, putting content out there, if you’re doing those kinds of things, that’s where the growth is. So that’s where my focus has been now is, I’m gonna give you content to level up your technical skills. That’s kind of obvious to most people in the development space, and to people who think about the development space for about half a minute.

20:00 – Initially, I hired my executive assistant or virtual assistant, she’s in Philippines, by the way, which is a great source for that. I would just hand her tasks that needed to be done. She at this point succeeded, so we’ve hired somebody else to help her. If there’s something she can’t figure out how to do, or she knows that I already know how to do, then I’ll record a video and I’ll send it over. But probably half of the stuff she does, at this point is stuff that she has determined will get us toward our goals. So she just takes the lead on a lot of that. At this point, what we’re doing now is we’re getting clear on our strategic plan. We are documenting, so now she’s building checklists, this is how we do this.

25:50 – The other piece of this is, is that I’m intending to do that, I already named the areas I was focused in, but I’m intending to do courses on a premium basis for those. So they’re not just courses so much as they’re, hey, here’s your weekly training! It’s 10 minute videos, you get two of them a week. So if you want to stay up on the technology area, that’s what we’re doing. Then the same thing with a lot of the career and soft skills education too.

30:45 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

What I found is that mostly, it’s just that consistent effort, right? There’s something to be said, for planning ahead. So where do I want to end up? What are some of the intermediate steps? Maybe look a year out or three months out, what are kind of the time horizons that I like to plan for? So what do I deliver every day? For 90 days, to be well on track for that.

Then the other thing we talked a little bit about, just getting cancelled on Twitter and stuff like that. The other thing is, is that you really do have to figure out who you are and where you want to end up. Because at the end of the day, I was coasting at that point. I mean, I had a $300,000 business, but I was coasting. I was going to the conferences and sure, I’d find new sponsors. I’d show up, I was having fun, but I wasn’t reaching the potential that I wanted, that I knew I could reach, but I was comfortable. So it’s a blessing when you have a hardship that forces you to rethink things. Just be really clear about where you want to end up. Where are you going? What is this about? Then that consistent effort will start getting you to where you’re most focused.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

07:45 – I think what my passion and purpose, to answer your question, is that I went from being an elite athlete to, fatigued, tired, depressed, gained 30 pounds overnight, just lost everything I had as an athlete and I felt like it was overnight. But it wasn’t and so that’s kind of my purpose now. Educating that what happened to me could happen to you. Let’s stop it now before you ignore it five years later, and end up me years later, still can’t do that.

13:45 – That’s what I did when I wrote my book, it was more for my own therapy session. But what were my red flags that happened for probably the 10 years before my breakdown? That happened in March 2013 that led me to that day it worked up so I wasn’t aware of it so I had to go back in time till like high school and go back. Where are these things happening that I was so oblivious to? So that is kind of a task I give everyone I work with is like let’s go back and see what are your stressors you know, what are things that are triggers for you that activate that stress response and you know, we know we know that acute stress is good beneficial, but when it comes like non-stop but just never turns off that when it gets to be trouble for our bodies.

20:00 – So what would you say if I just filled you with macronutrients with vitamins and minerals and everything you need, instead of a pill. You know, get it from your food and it’s hard, I take ton of supplements, but it’s hard to get that from your food. But ideally, it’s food. I read Michael Pollan’s book forever go, and he has the best thing like food. You can read the ingredients list that your great grandmother had in her house

30:00 – When I have people on my show. It’s like, what’s your Why? What’s your drive and, you know, follow your passion, your purpose, and I feel like my purpose of going through eight years of health imbalances that I had, is so I help other people avoid going through what I have had and so it’s finding out why so for me to help other people what I’ve decided is, you know, I can’t solicit people but just you want them to come to you when they’re ready for help because being a functional practitioner now and focusing that as my main business is health coaching, being health detective is really investigating with functional labs and nutritional therapy and quarterly now together to create an individualized protocol to transform, rebuild, repair the whole you.

39:30 – I learned years ago that it does a lot of that stuff doesn’t get through your stomach acid so if it doesn’t like I use a megaspore for base probiotic that can actually bypass acidic that’s supposed to prevent you know the bad things were going through and so it certain things might not even get into your small intestine, large intestine, so it is quality, a lot of that stuff.

44:30 – I went over my hormone panel and my hormones right down at the bottom of the line that you should, and I was like, oh, man, I’m pretty good. That means I could be better and don’t settle for just how you are now that you could even be so much more energetic and happier and thriving. We all can be so much more. So why do we just settle for this, there’s so much more we can do.

50:00 – I just did labs as it just went through and I did this other lab and I keep testing people, you know, encouraging people to do lab testing. Because I didn’t know as I said, what my microbiome is about. I did a pathogen test, and it’s not good. So I might feel like I’m thriving and my immune system is super strong. But I know some people that got coronavirus, and we’re sick for two weeks and they’re active, they’re fit, they’re not overweight, but why did they get really sick from it?

58:41 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I just think take ownership of your health for your body. You’ve got one body, you know, you do it for your car, you take your car in for repair, oil, lube change, you get new tires, getting alignment, etc. So why don’t we invest the amount of money we do on our cars to our own bodies? I don’t get it.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

05:00 – This isn’t a brag, it’s a functionality statement, you have a choice to stay functional! We all have a choice to find purpose and function for your family, for your friends, and yes, even for your business and your professional life. So if you allow all this negative energy to come in, you’re only hurting yourself.

09:00 – I’m hanging with you guys in my garage where I’m normally sweating, or teaching myself how to run new electrical or install radiant heaters or put my new workbench in or hang skis up. These aren’t the reasons why I decided to record the show here in the garage. I didn’t know how to do any of this. I mean, this is five years and I’m really proud of this.

10:00 – Learning how to install these Rubbermaid FastTrack systems, I need to buy stock in this frickin company guys. All my tools are hung on these FastTracks, all of our bikes right here behind me, there are the shelves over there, etc. So these are all things you guys need to not look at me as an example, look at yourself, what can we do now to teach ourselves new things, to become bigger and better than we were before. If you allow yourself to be paralyzed by fear, or by what’s going to possibly happen in the world, you’re not going to get anywhere.

13:40 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I’ll sum it all up, take positive action, and move forward. Stop holding yourselves back. Get innovative, get creative, and you too can create some positive change in this world. Because again, this pandemic will blow through and we’re going to have a big problem with our economy. We need to recover and if you’re not going to help do that, you’re just gonna be in the way. I’m one of those people that’s going to move forward and move people forward with me. We need to because this economy is going to be thrashed after all of this, so join me!

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.

Skiing Lungs Gratitude for #FUELUP Friday

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 31 Jan 2020 12:00:00 +0000

Today’s FUEL Up Friday Podcast Hits on Healthy Gratitude, Skiing Lifestyle, and Lung Health Recovery:

Top 3 Hot Point Takeaways:

Gratitude for a Healthy Lifestyle
Appreciation to keep skiing at high altitudes
Lung Health Recovery from a Spontaneous Pneumothorax

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30: Introduction

05:00: Because jackasses like me will probably want to haul ass down it and try and be a professional ski racer because I like to go fast. Well, let me tell you, you don’t want to go fast on this one.

10:00: There are all kinds of health impacts on your eyes and staring at a computer screen too long is a negative one. I’ve got three screens right here. I rock blue blocker glasses in the evening but luckily it’s still daylight outside right now.

15:00: I hinted about lung health, right, like getting outside and breathing the air. I realized, oh my god, this is the one year anniversary this week of my collapsed lung adventure.

20:00: Then in 2019 we were busy launching FUEL Foundations, my new nonprofit that the book will also benefit. It’s like all of these things are just happening and we’ve got to roll with it. But you also have to pause and slow down and appreciate it while sharing the gratitude message.

24:00: Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

Summing this whole piece of the podcast up, which is the gratitude, right, having the connections and the ability to reconnect with people and get back on the snow or on a bike or whatever, and just enjoy quality time with people. You know, besides the fact again, over all of this, we got to spend time with my wife’s parents, who are also retired and had that house out in Colorado, and it gives us a less cost reduction on our vacation planning.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[00:30] Introduction
[10:40] The ultimate efficiency enhancers you have to figure it out. But I’m with you. When I moved to Plancorp, about four and a half years ago, the biggest life-changing move I made was time-blocking. Nobody can touch my morning. My mornings are sacred. I put big blocks on my calendar. I said do not book meetings, and it allows me in, the best thing you can do is just try not to open an email.
[20:00] I sit down and I write and I unload. I don’t always know what I’m going to write in advance. So I mentioned when I wrote 5000 words, I said, I wonder if I could turn this into a book. I just kept going and naturally, that part was really natural to me, because I write frequently now.
[33:00] You can go get a lot of investment advice online for super cheap, the thing we do is we just make sure people don’t get killed on their taxes and get your tax projections. You do that through eliminating surprises in a simple tax projection as a business owner. You might find that you can accelerate income or expenses, or the salary you have. Stay below that net investment, income tax and all the planning work that goes into that. That’s a big reason to outsource that so you can focus on your business.
[40:00] I come from parents of doctors, so maybe I’m biased. Generally, you go to a professional expert, you go to the attorney. Generally, if you go to someone, you should trust that the advice is not in anyone’s interest, but making your financial life better.
[51:55] Final Words

Final Words:

I think a lot of people just want to make sure they’re doing the right thing. Money can seem complicated but it just doesn’t have to be. Life is very complicated and you’re trying to find ways to simplify it. Don’t let it be something that you put to the side because it seems complicated. There’s a lot of great resources out there, not just my own that are helping simplify it.

The internet has done wonderful things, podcasts like this have done wonderful things in making these issues more approachable. So I really encourage you to try to, if there’s something you’ve been putting off, like your finances. That one thing you can probably think of, go ahead and just do that take care of it now because the benefit from it will compound over time.

271: Forefront Goals and Your Attention To Detail

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 10 May 2019 12:00:00 +0000

Improve Your Attention to Detail, Set Goals in the Forefront, Discussing StrengthsFinder, and More:

Chris Denny is a researcher, trainer, consultant, and business owner. When he is not running a business or spending time with his family, he is researching attention to detail or helping others become more detail-oriented.

Chris delivers training workshops and seminars for companies and government organizations and conducts one on one coaching for high-value employees. Attention To Detail training is available via online courses.

*Goals must be out on the forefront to target them. – Chris Denny

The seed of Attention To Detail Solutions started in 2010 when Chris had an employee who was technically strong and generally valuable, aside from his low attention to detail. After searching for a book or training and finding nothing that would help, Chris started to create something that could help. He had inadvertently found a passion and after 6 years of exhaustive research, hundreds of surveys, and dozens of interviews, Chris emerged with the Attention To Detail Training™ system.

Since 2008, Chris has owned a marketing agency that is now largely operated by a small staff who allow him to focus mainly on consulting, training, and research. His training and speaking style is personal and interactive with a great deal of open discussion to ensure participants are fully engaged and getting maximum value for the time they spend in Attention To Detail Training™ workshops and seminars.

Top 3 Hot Points:

Contrastive
Analytical
Additive

*Goals must be out on the forefront to target them.

Final Words:

You always have to have the goal and it must be set out there. Whether it’s a place, a time, or an objective. The details are what take you there properly, efficiently, and successfully. I always like to make sure people understand that the two are not mutually exclusive in conversation or in reality correlation. You need one with the other in order to achieve it successfully. The big picture here is make sure you keep that in mind. However you do it, with whatever system you use, planners, whiteboards or whatever.

Influencers Mentioned:

StrengthsFinder now CliftonStrengths at GallupStrengthsCenter.com

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
[spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] That’s the point, that’s where some of the stress comes from, people worrying about the same things.
[spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] The other part of that is that it’s very systemized. That’s where contrast of attention to detail is why the big fast food chains can be run by 16 year olds. So you end up having these billion dollar organizations that are largely operated by kids.
[spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] The whole theme behind StrengthsFinder is you could be spinning your wheels, trying to fix a weakness that you have, or you could channel most of your energy into the your natural strengths.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] Typically, the person who I hear from is one of three people. It’s the talent development person, like the director of talent development. Second, it could be a VP level influencer. Third, it is a receptionist or an admin that is tasked with helping improve the company.

264: Attack Work-Life Balance and ATTCK Marketing

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 12 Apr 2019 14:00:00 +0000

Today we discuss Work-Life Balance with the ATTCK Marketing man himself, Dennis Plucinik!

Dennis Plucinik, ATTCK’s founder, started his company with the goal of doing things right. He’d spent years in the digital advertising world, where work and personal life blend into one and “work hard, play hard together” means never leaving the office—and having colleagues for drinking buddies. He found himself wondering if a company with a different kind of work culture could succeed. An environment free from stressful deadlines, late nights, weekends, and the myriad other reasons why great people quit their jobs.

Quote: “If you like doing what you do, then you never work a day.”

Dennis wanted to create a workplace where tasks get done during work hours only, and where employees don’t feel guilty for leaving at 6 PM. ATTCK takes on the projects that Dennis and the ATTCK team feel are best suited for them—projects that bring in more than just money.

Top 3 Hot Points:

A new way of organizational structure.
Healthy lifestyle commitments and beating opioid addiction.
Work-Life Balance, like what you do.

[spp-tweet tweet=”How do you attack your own Work-Life balance?! ATTCK Your Marketing too! @DennisPlucinik “]

Final Words:

How are people approaching their life? What do they want to get out of it? What I’m trying to do is just to be happy with the decisions that I make. I think that’s an important set of principles to live by. So, you know, if you understand yourself, you understand things that make you happy, and what you really want out of it. For me, that’s surrounding myself with people who produce great work. I absolutely love what I do. I think that’s also very important to know.

It sometimes doesn’t feel like work, right? But that’s like the old cliche, it doesn’t feel like work. If you like doing what you do, then you never work a day. It’s not totally true, things get very difficult on hard days. If you find something that you’re absolutely passionate about, it’ll drive you through. It’ll carry you through those hard times. So find something that you love doing and be passionate about it. It’s not easy to do. It took me a long time to be able to do this.

It’s worth it in the end.

Resources:

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
[spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] It’s a very sort of flat organizational structure. So it’s meant to say a couple of things. Everybody here supports each other equally. When you’re focused on one person, the whole company is focused on that one person. It’s a little deep. That literally was the theory before we built this. I love it. It’s very creative!
[spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] If I’m not sure about something or not confident I can carry it through, I won’t do it. I don’t gamble, I don’t play blackjack or anything else. I think I gambled with the surgery I had, I most likely didn’t need in the end. Turns out I didn’t need it. But I couldn’t gamble and did it anyway. I didn’t want this to come up 10 years later and say, oh we actually didn’t get everything and now you’re gonna die. I just didn’t want to gamble that. So that’s sort of my MO, I’ve got to be certain about what I’m doing.
[spp-timestamp time=”29:30″] I had some pretty serious neuropathy, which is nerve damage to your extremities, incredibly painful. The only solution was a couple of solutions that are not really perfect. The long and short of it is that as a result of the surgery, I ended up getting very quick addicted to opioids like within two weeks. So I have a really close experience with that and it’s very scary. It was effective but it’s incredibly addictive. I can see how it’s such a huge epidemic because you can have easy access to that stuff.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] People who tie working success to the quantity of hours, I’m against it. There’s quality versus quantity. Right? We have very specific ways of tracking progress and development projects. We get really nerdy on this idea. We use a system to track basically hours efficiency and call it a Velocity of Tracks that Delta. What you estimated your time would take versus what it would actually take.

Top 3 Hot Points:

Attend the Growth Now Movement LIVE event.

Final Words:

First of all, I appreciate you having me on your show. To everybody listening, the reality is this, wherever you are in life right now, that’s exactly where you’re supposed to be.

I think sometimes we often think we were supposed to be something different than we are. But we’re not. You are exactly who you’re supposed to be. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. If you want to make the future better, you have to make choices to get better, right? You have to take that first step towards growth, you have to take that first step towards the goal because you’re not going to get that goal overnight!

All that matters is really the journey and so what I say to everybody is it doesn’t matter where you come from, and it doesn’t even matter where you are right now, what matters are the decisions you’re making today to move forward. Whether that’s going to live events, as we talked about, whether that’s listening to this podcast. Whatever it is, you’re making the right choice right now. So step forward into the person you’re supposed to be!

Influencers Mentioned:

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
[spp-timestamp time=”06:00″] I knew I was just gonna throw myself to the wolves. I kind of do that to myself all the time. I started podcasting two and a half years ago and I had no idea what I was doing. I didn’t do the proper amount of research.
[spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] I might do a little bit more of that, like bringing people on to actually coach me because I’m very very coachable. I’m willing to learn and get better and I know I’m not the best.
[spp-timestamp time=”14:30″] I tell everybody that comes to me and says, I want to start a show, so I ask them why. I want to grow an audience in Melbourne, for example. The first thing we need to realize is that 80% of these shows are doing less than 100 downloads an episode and that’s okay.
[spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] There are events out west that you could buy a ticket and get refunded when you get there like it’s a reward to show up but if you don’t show up, you don’t your money back. I also know when companies do that they’re going to then sell me something else. The cool part about my event is I’m not selling anything from the stage. It’s literally come in and you’ll make a big impact on your life. There are celebrity speakers like Fabio Viviani and Sarah Centrella. I feel blessed with the relationships that I’ve built that I can now give what I’ve been able to do over the last two and a half years to other people and make those connections.
[spp-timestamp time=”25:00″] Just because you speak on stages, doesn’t mean you can’t learn from the other people speaking on stages. I speak all over the country, it’s usually on podcasting, relationship building, or whatever. I go to more events than probably most people. What I do differently is actually take action afterward.
[spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] Justin Kavanaugh is the business consultant and coach. The guy is known as a top-five speed and performance coach in the country. He trains guys to get ready for the NFL combine, top-five like that.
[spp-timestamp time=”35:45″] This is what I say about Lewis Howes. He is the master of branding. His live event is what I’m modeling after because I really believe in finding the master or you find a master to follow their model. His LIVE event is bonkers, it’s an amazing event it’s game-changing. I’ve been there every year, he’s high energy and it’s high energy. Dude I watched him, if you want to talk about the business side of things, last year make $200,000 in an hour because he sold 1000 tickets for $200 each, live on stage within 20 minutes.
[spp-timestamp time=”41:00″] Top five things to grow your audience. I think number two on the list is you have to get in front of podcasters. You do that by getting on shows and getting in front of the right audience.
[spp-timestamp time=”46:30″] Even before Top Chef, Fabio became a millionaire and lost it all. Then he was building as well again. If you’re a legit millionaire, that means you have legit meaning, you actually have a good head on your shoulders. You can always make it back.
[spp-timestamp time=”52:44″] A question I get all the time and I don’t alway’s get the opportunity to ask other people, is where do you see podcasts going?
[spp-timestamp time=”01:11:00″] That’s why I’m holding my event in Reading, PA, just like my podcast is live, it gets played everywhere. I can have it in Philly or I can have it in New York City and sell more tickets doing that. However, I’m holding it in Reading because I want to make an impact here in Reading for the city.

Top 3 Hot Points:

Embrace Your True Self
Speak With Truth and Transparency
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?

233: Our Calvin The Coonhound Battles Cancer

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 26 Nov 2018 17:00:00 +0000

A Special Holiday Part II Podcast for Calvin The Coonhound Beating Cancer:

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.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[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.

[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.

[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.

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.

[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!

[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.

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.

[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.

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.

[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.

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.

[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.

[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.

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.

[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.

[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.

[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.

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!

[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.

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!

Final Words:

People need to realize that health is personalized. Everybody is a little different, don’t be too dogmatic about it. Don’t be like oh I’m a Vegan so everyone else has to be a Vegan. Or, I’m a Carnivore so everyone else has to be a Carnivore.

There are definitely certain principles that apply to everybody. For example, eating process sugar is bad for you! There IS a lot of diversity and customization available, so you want to be aware of that.

Knowledge is power, so the smarter you are about your health, the more healthy you’re going to be. The more you take control of this, the better it is going to be. The reason Socrates was considered to be the wisest man in the world was that he knew his limitations. He knew himself. “Know Self”

Everyone in this audience as a voice that needs to be shared with the world. Harry doesn’t want you to wait 25 years to find yours. Many things and forms of advice were offered to Harry and they didn’t work because he kept listening to other people’s voices.

It took an aha moment, a near-death experience in Thailand, for him to realize the valuable point of… “Crap! I Don’t Want to Die with My Voice Inside of Me!”. So he challenges you to make a decision, that today, is the day you decide to not let your voice die inside of you.

The Story of how he was able to save his swimming pool company, River Pools, from the economic crash of 2008 has been featured in multiple books, publications, and stories around the world. It is also the inspiration for his newest book, “They Ask, You Answer,” which was dubbed the #1 marketing book to read in 2017 by Mashable.

Final Words:

Getting back to business… The ones who attend speaking events, hear the new teaching/principle/technique… then say, that may have worked for them but it wouldn’t work in our business… they are the ones that FAIL.

The ones that say, “is it possible that this applies to me”, are the ones that will succeed. If we go through life in that mindset, we will be dramatically more successful, we will be a sponge, and we are going to be fulfilled as well. We are going to be changing and evolving all the time, that’s a wonderful thing!

Marcus’ challenge to you, the listener, is to always go with that mindset that “Is It Possible That This Applies to Me” and he promises that great results will occur!

Your pure vitamins educational co-host returns to talk about life with the addition of a B-12 launch and what’s up with olive oil vitamins?! Welcome back to our show for a 3-peat, Andy Schreiber of Pure Vitamins Club! A reminder he has helped co-host our show back on episodes 024 and 057!

Some quick background on PVC, unfortunately, most vitamin companies take the kitchen sink approach to making a vitamin. They throw in everything, along with fillers like sugar, grains, preservatives, and even silica. You know what silica is? Sand!

Yeah, that’s right, sand. You know what they say to that? LEAVE THE SAND AT THE BEACH!

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 28 Apr 2017 14:00:00 +0000

Your Paleo Cardiologist Co-Host:

We talk with a powerful new co-host today on wheat consumption issues, nutrition, leaky gut, the use of vaccines, and of course The Paleo Cardiologist book from Dr. Jack Wolfson.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”03:00″] Connecting on life and living in Arizona, sharing our joint experiences.
[spp-timestamp time=”04:50″] Jack and his wife met in 2004, he was working in a large Cardiology practice. His wife is a doctor of chiropractic and causation who opened up his eyes to other worlds of health. This led to him leaving the big medical group in 2012 for a bigger purpose, launching The Drs Wolfson and eventually him writing The Paleo Cardiologist book.
[spp-timestamp time=”05:35″] Standing Desks.
[spp-timestamp time=”06:10″] MD’s relating to DC’s. Mentioning how Vinnie Tortorich isn’t a supporter of Doctor’s of Chiropractic. Jack helps us clarify what “real doctors” can truly do in different situations.
[spp-timestamp time=”08:20″] Scott finds his trust of chiropractic care in 2008 training for the Marine Corp Marathon in Washington DC.
[spp-timestamp time=”11:15″] The average MD, a medical doctor is not taught anything about nutrition.
[spp-timestamp time=”12:50″] Taking issue with the 300 MD’s and Ph.D.’s that wrote the references he includes at the end of his book, The Paleo Cardiologist.
[spp-timestamp time=”15:45″] We’re talking about who lives the best, who lives the longest, who has the lowest risk of heart attack and stroke.
[spp-timestamp time=”19:20″] Referencing the NSNG lifestyle, Vinnie Tortorich and how he’s surviving Leukemia Cancer by reducing sugar consumption.
[spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] Whatever the diet book, everyone is going to be anti-sugar these days. It’s hard to get people off the sugar, all we can do is give them the information. What people do with the information is their choice. They’re not hearing the truth in the typical medical establishment. Doctors are not spending the time to speak to people, they’re not educated to speak to people, they’re kind of down on the whole process of nutrition.
[spp-timestamp time=”23:10″] Sharing our mutual love of mountain biking. Even as a Cardiologist, all he can do is call 911 in the case of an emergency.
[spp-timestamp time=”25:00″] Get out of the gym, get outside, hike, bike, do squats with your bodyweight, lunges, pushups, etc.
[spp-timestamp time=”26:00″] Trail running, thin soled shoes, we both read the Born to Run book.
[spp-timestamp time=”27:45″] Jack doesn’t wear shoes in his office and sells healthy duck fat.
[spp-timestamp time=”28:08″] He first learned about Leaky Gut in 2005 and never heard of it during his 10 years in school.
[spp-timestamp time=”29:00″] Test kits for leaky gut and more for using the Wheat Zoomer. Also chatting on Wheat Belly and the Grain Brain books.
[spp-timestamp time=”32:45″] Are sprouted ancient grains healthier than wonder bread. Don’t guess, get tested.
[spp-timestamp time=”33:50″] The human body is an amazing and powerful machine.
[spp-timestamp time=”34:07″] Referencing Dr. Jack Kruse and mitochondrial health. Both Jack’s actually spoke together at an event in June 2016 in Vermont.
[spp-timestamp time=”36:00″] Jack Kruse brings heavy science to the Paleo lifestyle. Dr. Jack Wolfson tests people’s cellular levels of Omega 3′, Vegans are extremely deficient in Omega 3’s. Clearly, this is linked to all disease as well.
[spp-timestamp time=”37:20″] Follow the wisdom of our ancestors.
[spp-timestamp time=”37:37″] Mentioning Dr. Joe Dispenza and my recent event attendance learning about the quantum law.
[spp-timestamp time=”38:00″] The Quantlet device from Dr. Jack Kruse.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] Our bodies natural response to problems is inflammation. We need to put the fire out by finding what the caused the fire. It’s all about causation.
[spp-timestamp time=”41:00″] Kevin Cottrell and Jack Wolfson speaking at PALEOfx.
[spp-timestamp time=”44:00″] If you’re Mediterranean, just do it without the chemicals and you’ll make a huge difference.
[spp-timestamp time=”48:10″] People are not getting the answers from their average MD.
[spp-timestamp time=”48:20″] The use of statin drugs vs finding the 0% category. Jack shows all of the medical data on statins in The Paleo Cardiologist book.
[spp-timestamp time=”49:10″] Jack clarifies for me that his 300 References from medical professionals in his book, means that he has referenced their studies that support his studies and the book. If you’re insulting Jack and The Paleo Cardiologist, then you’re insulting the 300 other medical journals he has researched too.
[spp-timestamp time=”50:05″] Mentioning Nina Teicholz and The Big Fat Surprise book.
[spp-timestamp time=”53:00″] Give the gift of health and education.
[spp-timestamp time=”55:00″] Clarifying where to get started for accomplishing your own blood testing. Referencing the Wheat Zoomer, looking at Leaky Gut, where your inflammation is at, etc.
[spp-timestamp time=”57:20″] It’s nice to not have a family history, but genetic changes can happen, referencing epigenetics.
[spp-timestamp time=”01:00:30″] Jack’s high-level focal points to improve our health are the nutrition, sleep, the sunshine, and reducing stress.
[spp-timestamp time=”01:03:20″] Final Words

Unfortunately, Sugar is the most addictive thing in the world. – Dr. Jack Wolfson

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.
[spp-timestamp time=”50:37″] Final Words

052: Resist Average, THRIVE, and Tommy Baker Fitness

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 24 Feb 2017 17:00:00 +0000

Resist Average Co-Hosting Today:

Why wait? There is always going to be an excuse if you just don’t start. First give yourself permission to start, then have a clear vision, add accountability and reflection to that and you you will move quickly along your journey to that vision. Today’s Co-Host has applied this to his podcast and to his latest book which will be released late March’17. Tommy Baker of Tommy Baker Fitness.com and Resist Average Academy.com is a fellow Thrive16′ attendee and fitness buff. Using his platforms that he has built, he inspires and motivates people with fitness to act as catalyst for massive transformation in other areas of life.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”01:20″] Tommy’s first true passion in life was fitness. It was his first foray into personal development. He wanted to use fitness as a tool to learn more about himself. As Tommy evolved his fitness brand and his two retail gyms, he started to broadcast the message, fitness was just the starting point and can be a catalyst for mass transformation in other areas of life. Half of his audience got the message the other half was just there for fitness, so now Tommy is separating the two apart and relaunching.
[spp-timestamp time=”04:40″] Tommy has a book coming out late March.
[spp-timestamp time=”05:49″] Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic Learning Styles (VAK). Tommy in 2015, had read through 55 books. Once he got to 35 books he was not effectively digesting and implementing what he had read. He was just in consumption mode. He has since shifted his focus to only reading 15 to 20 books a year, reading the physical book and listening to the audio book version. Tommy had chosen to not move on until he had implemented something from each book into his life or business. This is what Tommy calls 365 degree learning. Going deeper, instead of wider.
[spp-timestamp time=”10:21″] Document the moments that make you pause.
[spp-timestamp time=”14:08″] Using voice notes on Evernote as a journal.
[spp-timestamp time=”16:22″] The power of Accountability Partners.
[spp-timestamp time=”18:49″] Give yourself permission to say yes to yourself to make the commitment. Once you have done that, things just start happening and you will figure the rest of the stuff out along the way. The inspiration and the passion that you are looking for are always on the other side of action.
[spp-timestamp time=”21:20″] When Tommy started his Resist Average podcast, he went back and listened to the very first episodes of some of the current best podcasters. He came to the realization that they really were not that good. It immediately took the pressure off him, knowing where those top podcasters are now. He took a deep breath and said, “They started somewhere look at where they are now, I have just got to get started!”
[spp-timestamp time=”22:41″] We all start somewhere. The most important thing is taking action.
[spp-timestamp time=”23:34″] There are countless resources of accountability. A fan of Tommy’s, unknowingly, kept him accountable throughout the writing of the book.
[spp-timestamp time=”25:37″] Using vision boards. Vision boards are environmental triggers. It’s great to have big visions but you also have to keep in mind, what can you do today to take you a little closer to that goal.
[spp-timestamp time=”29:07″] Go to the places that you love and that inspire you. For Tommy it is being outside. The more you can sprinkle these into your week the more on fire you will feel.
[spp-timestamp time=”38:03″] Tommy got into CrossFit in 2007. It’s all about trying new things and experiences. Scott in 2010 thanks to Wildland Firefighting.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:02″] Constantly variable.
[spp-timestamp time=”43:35″] You have to find out what works, pace it and don’t be afraid to change it up.
[spp-timestamp time=”46:49″] Being objective with our goals. Having self awareness is huge but it is difficult to have it on your own. It is important to surround yourself with people that will ask great questions, hold you accountable and give you the power of perspective.
[spp-timestamp time=”49:38″] We no longer allow ourselves to be bored. At a moments lull we pull out our phones. Take moments throughout your day to just think. Reflection is as important to Tommy as action because if we are taking action but don’t take the time to reflect we could go in the wrong direction. Reflection gives us time to pivot and adjust. Tommy does daily reflection, Sunday reflection and quarterly reflection exercises to allow himself to see where he is at.

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

009: ReLaunch your life with Joel Boggess

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 26 Sep 2016 14:30:00 +0000

Today’s co-host is somebody I met recently at #MAPCON 2016 (Mid-Atlantic Podcast Conference). This gentleman is a podcaster, host of the popular Relaunch show, author of Finding Your Voice, as well as a public speaker, and has been involved in broadcasting for over 27 years; he is Joel Boggess.

Joel’s show, focuses on that one thing that created that turning point in his guest’s life.

At the age of five, Joel fell off a 30ft high bridge. He ending up in a three-week coma as a result. Part of his ReLaunch involved him getting into Karate, eventually reaching black belt and even teaching Karate.

On This Episode You Will Hear and ReLaunch:

[spp-timestamp time=”1:46″] 27 years behind the mic

Final Words

Doing is the new planning. You could spend hours, days, weeks putting together a business plan or a personal growth plan. In the end, you could have something that resembles something that looks like a small house. But you know what? That still does not do anything regarding accomplishing your end goals. That will definitely not move the needle in your bank account or your health and fitness lifestyle. It’s not going to move the needle in general. “Do” something today vs just planning it. If you can only walk to the end of the street, then do that. If you can only take a short drive, then do that. If you can only eat a healthy meal or healthy product today, do that. Just do something because that is how successful people move forward. They realize doing is the new planning, so stay motivated, and ReLaunch!

001: Podcast Launch with Solopreneur Hour Michael O’Neal!

Scott Mulvaney — Sun, 04 Sep 2016 13:00:00 +0000

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening my great listeners joining us today from all around the world. I’m your host Scott Mulvaney, a fellow Solopreneur and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to my first ever episode of the LIVETHEFUEL Show, here to FUEL Your Health, Business and Lifestyle!

Today’s Solopreneur Co-Host

This is my first co-host and it is none other than the podcasting solopreneur master himself, Mr. Michael O’Neal. Many of you have heard his story. If not, catch up with him at http://solohour.com. His award winning podcast, The Solopreneur Hour, has been up for several years now with over 8 million downloads! It features lively conversations, bold advice and candid insights for proudly unemployable people who want to realize full prosperity and fulfillment.

Michael interviews guests and co-hosts with the best and brightest solopreneurs from all walks of life. In this episode, we will give just a recap of his background.

Born in Ohio, Michael spent 12 years there being raised in a Catholic family. As a kid, he participated in every sport known to mankind from swimming and gymnastics to skating and cycling. At age 12, he moved with his parents to a new community in the suburbs of Philadelphia. They were fed up with many problems in this state, something that forced them to relocate to Spring Hill, a little redneck town in Florida.

Michael has dedicated his life to acquire formal education. He studied music in one of the best colleges in Palm Beach, FL. He also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in communication from Temple University. Michael has also created and hosted several professional courses about internet marketing, web development and social media.

His journey to becoming a Solopreneur Master has not been as easy as you may think. He tried to do everything he could through 2008 but didn’t see much success in those life experiences. In 2009, Michael knew that he no longer wanted to trade a dollar for an hour, so he went looking for something else. That’s when he found the hidden treasures in network marketing and internet marketing. In August 2013, he started The Solopreneur Hour Podcast which aims to show the other unemployable people the correct path to business success on their terms.

In this episode you’ll hear:

[02: 45] Why I chose these three categories: Health, Business, and Lifestyle. And my plan for LIVETHEFUEL show.
[04: 14] Why live the fuel? How this show (LIVETHEFUEL) came to be.
[10: 10] All about my past lifestyle experiences, especially car racing, and the motivation that I got from them
[15: 00] How Michael got his start, leveraging his experience with the car racing, SCCA lifestyle, BMX skills, and marketing.
[25: 00] Great conversation about the lessons that we have learned from our past life experiences
[31: 03] If you are in pain or suffering, and you just keep going; that is not a healthy lifestyle.
[34: 20] Don’t let life overtake you.
[02: 45] Michael’s soon to be best-selling book about Job Security For The Unemployable.

And Much, Much More

Since this is my first show, I settled on Michael because he is my mentor. There were so many similarities that started overlapping with him which just made it easier for me to follow his feeds, content and click with him as a fellow Colorado resident to name one.

During our discussion, we talked a bit about how this show (LIVETHEFUEL) came to be, and the journey I’ve been on myself and my plans. The goal of this show is to FUEL people’s own internal fires. I chose those three categories: health, business, and lifestyle because I actually believe they all marry together quite nicely. People struggle in their businesses or working for other people’s businesses. They let their health and lifestyle fall to the wayside. So for this podcast, these are the three areas that I picked out from all of our primary life domains because I think they create a beautiful umbrella effect.

We talked about how Michael got his start, leveraging his experience with the car racing lifestyle, combined with some great lessons from marketing his podcast, The Solopreneur Hour, to the tasks he needs to do every day to be a successful solopreneur.

We then got into a great conversation about the lessons that we have learned from our past lifestyles. There are serious side effects of starting to do things to justify other things you want to spend or invest in your lifestyle. In fact, if there is any nugget to take from this show, this is the one.

Michael mentioned how instrumental the death of his parents has been in his life. He reflected a few times since then all the change he has gone through with the growth of the Solopreneur Hour show, growth of his business, coaching and mentorship stuff.

We also talked about acting and working in endurance mode. I think people let life overtake them and forget that they need time to complete many of life’s goals. If you are one of them, it’s time to click into that endurance mode and realize that you’re not going to win every single day at whatever you are doing whether it’s climbing, racing, running a business, marketing, etc. The biggest thing that I’ve taken out of all this experience so far is the endurance. Your body is capable of doing so much more. The brain controls everything. So if you’ve got a healthy mind, you’ll have a healthy body which directly impacts and helps you perform in business.

This is it. We are on our journey together. And I’m thrilled to be here with you.

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. Currently, my biggest asset is reviews and ratings on iTunes. When iTunes sees that this show is getting good reviews and ratings, it moves us up in importance to the “New & Noteworthy” section. A brand new show can get lots of traction from this!

So, if you wouldn’t mind, I will welcome positive reviews and ratings from you guys, love the 5 stars! Also, if you think it’s valuable; kindly share this page on Facebook or Twitter. It would mean a ton of gratitude to me as well.

If you want to be part of the growing community, please join the The FUEL Tank group on Facebook where we Fuel Your Health, Business and Lifestyle as a community.

Thanks so much, and I’m looking forward to hearing your comments about this show below.

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!
