In the first episode of “Soul Food” with personal trainer, fitness instructor and life coach, Ange Helie, we took a deep dive into understanding why she is referred to as the “Anti-Diet” individual. Now, in order to avoid calling out her mother for arriving at such a distinguished title, I asked Ange to provide some clarity since there are so many diet solutions available on the market. Selected highlights: [2:22]...there is this external pressure…because by doing so, this will equal weight loss [2:30]...we are getting ads for diet products, meal plans, templates or calculations you need to follow to lose weight [5:10]...when we see these beautiful [people] on social media…we are told “...do this calorie plan so you can get this body…” [5:32]...on top of the physical, it's the mental exhaustion of trying to follow this plan [6:35]...every single woman I work with comes to me saying: “...I am doing all the things, I'm taking the magic supplements, I am watching my sugar…but I am not seeing any results…” [9:24]...you just start fearing food [13:59]...I am really curious on the emotional state and whether you are really in tune [with the fact] that you are eating? [32:51]...we make these into giant statements where “butter = weight gain” – for sure, if you are going to eat a whole block of butter [37:31]...you know when you are feeling healthy; you know when you are feeling good… §§§ The following links stem from my “Anti-Diet” discussion with Ange: Beyoncé “master cleanse”. Beyoncé made this cleanse “famous” her role in the 2006 film, “Dreamgirls” [NOTE: this is the “spring cleaning cleanse” Ange and her friend undertook in April 2008] USA Today published this article in February 2019 titled “Beyonce lost 20 pounds with a juice cleanse.

Dieting is the problem. A society that rejects anyone whose body shape or size doesn't match an impossible ideal is the problem.

This is the 14th episode in the “Errol's Eye On” series dedicated to Errol Vas providing practical marketing and business advice to startups, small to medium-sized enterprises and large multi-national corporations. In this episode, Errol decided to focus on the marketing strategy of two watch manufacturers from the 1960's Brand 1 | Saxony Dive Watch – Swiss manufactured; NY-based 1968 start; spent $1 million on advertising (in 1968!!); equivalent to $8 million in 2023 dollars. In 1970, introduction of the Quartz brand of watches pretty much decimated the company. Brand 2 | Vostok – Russian watch brand; no advertising, In the late 1950's and 60s, the Russian Ministry of Defence mandated the production of Russian-made watches for Russian divers. Made out of steel; had to be submersible to up to 200 metres of water. §§§ As promised during our chat, Errol provided the following links: Personal blog post on the Saxony Dive Watch: https://errolvas.com/blog/f/the-fall-of-saxony-sheffield-watch-co For Vostok, Errol has not written a post yet, but there is a robust write up on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vostok_watches §§§ To learn more about Errol Vas and his work, click on one or more of the following links: Errol Vas Business Website | https://errolvas.com Errol Vas Business LinkedIn profile | https://www.linkedin.com/company/errol-vas-com/ Errol Vas Personal LinkedIn profile | https://www.linkedin.com/in/errolvas/ Errol Vas YouTube channel | https://bit.ly/3mzjRa0 Director of Marketing at Diversitech Global | https://www.diversitech-global.com §§§ To find all episodes of the Calgary Business Podcast, follow this link to the personal website of Allen Wazny: https://www.solarnity.io/podcast Feel free to reach out to Allen Wazny using one or more of the following links: ==> LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/allenwazny/ ==> Email | allen@solarnity.io or allen@backers.ca ==> Instagram | @allenwazny --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/allen-wazny/message

This is episode 8 in the “All Psyched Up About” series dedicated to the work of clinical psychologist, Daniel McMillan and his team at Assured Psychology, whereby each episode seeks to highlight a variety of issues and topics around mental health. In this episode, I was joined in the podcast studio by Dr. Robyn Lett, Registered Psychologist at Assured Psychology. The key areas of discussion focussed on ADHD and neurodivergence and the new era of the workplace goal setting vs intention setting (e.g., New Year resolutions, goal setting in life and career) self-regulation as a primary strategy for well-being §§§ Dr. Lett made reference to the following quote from writer and playwright, James Baldwin, that is fitting in the case of challenges people may face on a daily basis: “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” §§§ Dr. Lett also provided the following references to books and resources that she often utilizes in her work Anxiety/Panic "Your survival instinct is killing you" - Mark Schoen "Comfortable with uncertainty" - Pema Chodron Depression "The mindful way through depression" - John Kabat-Zinn "A new Earth" - Echkart Tolle (also deals with trauma) ADHD "ADHD 2.0" - Edward Hallowell and John Ratey "Women with ADHD" - Sari Solden and Michelle Frank Russell Barkley on the Neuroanatomy of ADHD.

This is the 9th episode in the “Errol's Eye On” series dedicated to Errol Vas providing practical marketing and business advice to startups, small to medium-sized enterprises and large multi-national corporations. §§§ In this episode, we were joined in the podcast studio by Ben Howells, a musician turned marketing executive that resides in Calgary. You really have to listen to the whole episode to appreciate the insight Errol and Ben provided on how musicians can get noticed in today's social media wired world. A few takeaways from this session: 1st | Social Media. What are musicians doing on socials? How are they getting noticed? 2nd | Partnerships. Musicians should consider making or form partnerships with other musicians, particularly those that are “more famous” or more well known. 3nd | Offline activities. What are musicians doing off-line (in the community) to draw attention to their on-line initiatives? Ben highlighted an example of a recent event he coordinated in the Inglewood Area of Calgary with local merchant, Ollie Quinn, a sunglasses and eyewear store. Ben referred to this as a “Do-it-Yourself” venue. At the event, Ben utilized a QR Code with a hyperlink to LinkTree which in turn links to all their key accounts (website, social media). The QR code also provided an automatic sign up to their email list. Ben referred to this as “creating a digital funnel”. To avoid “leaving customers on the table”, musicians may want to listen to the full episode to hear some key advice from Ben and Errol! §§§ Ollie Quinn, the Calgary-based sunglasses and eyewear store can be found from these links: Website: https://www.olliequinn.ca/ Instagram: @oqstories Twitter: @oqstories §§§ To learn more about Errol Vas and Ben Howells, click on one or more of the following links: ERROL VAS Website | https://errolvas.com Business LinkedIn profile | https://www.linkedin.com/company/errol-vas-com/ Personal LinkedIn profile | https://www.linkedin.com/in/errolvas/ YouTube channel | https://bit.ly/3mzjRa0 Director of Marketing at Diversitech Global | https://www.diversitech-global.com BEN HOWELLS On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-howells-59a7b9a9/ On LinkTree | https://linktr.ee/howellsmusic --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allen-wazny/message
