    Alright. Everyone has experienced stage fright, right? Everyone I know has, that's for sure. Maybe it's part of the creative mind, feeling unjust in getting up on stage.. like “WTF would anyone wanna hear what I have to say…” Well, in today's podcast, I sat down with Elisa Di Napoli, singer-songwriter, Hypnotherapist, and Author of “Dare to Be Seen: From Stage Fright to Stage Presence: Ten Easy Steps to Turn Your Performance Anxiety into Authentic Power with Transformational Hypnotherapy”. We discussed some of the most common things she sees, and as an artist herself, how she's gotten over the nerves. We also jam to the weirdest foods she's eaten and her guilty pleasure band. It's a fun conversation and a great way to cap off Mental Health Awareness Month here in Canada.Thank you for reading Get Music Fit With Mike Schwartz.

    Crazy thought - what if we took the time to properly prepare for a tour? Get a proper biomechanical assessment before hopping on board a 20 date tour, or even for just a few shows over the weekend... What could possibly happen with our performance if we took a proactive approach instead of treating solely when there was a problem that could cost a tour? That's what our conversation with Jamie Camp (MSc. PT Medical Acupuncture, SFMA, AiM, NKT & Adjunct Lecturer University of Toronto Dept of Physical Therapy) detailed. If you're wondering why your back hurts, or why your hip is shot or why that neck pain is starting to come back again even after the massage... save this show and take some notes! Here's a backstage pass of what we get into on this episode: What's your "walk up" song? "Wake Up" - Arcade Fire What's one thing you'd change about your industry? Moving from Local “bandaids” to global treatment of the entire system - viewing the body as a whole, where the nervous system runs the show to keep our eyes level and feeling safe... and takes into consideration motor compensation, past medical history etc. I can often trace current back pain/neck injury to 25 year old ankle injuries through the biomechanics. Jamie's Message Bands don't always know what they need - they default to massage, (and I love my RMTs, I co-treat really closely with them) But there are solutions rooted in nervous system reprogramming and biomechanics/movement that could actually save tours. When someone's injured, the tour is in jeopardy… Whether it's a catastrophic ankle sprain or chronic overuse, and it doesn't have to be that way. Most people get into physio to work with elite athletes... Very fun, but the more I worked with Musicians, I learned they're elite athletes with no off season, and a much smaller court (and smaller movement repertoire ie more overuse injury), and they don't even know it …… the music industry is just catching up to the idea of treatment, tune-ups, etc. For more info on Jamie Camp - @musicbiomechanic and @shifthappensoncarlaw on IG Yoooo! Are you a musician or an industry professional? Whatcha'all doing August Long? Are you interested in learning how to move your body properly so you can prepare for, recover from and optimize your performance both on and off the stage?

    Hey folks, what kind of magic are you bringing to the table? What makes you different? Whether you're an athlete, an artist or an entrepreneur, you're job is to cut through the noise and become relevant in people's lives, right? You wanna win, right? Today's show discusses actionable steps to do that. This one is rad. I got to sit with the lengendary Gavin McHale (yes Jets fans, the Caps' backup, McHale) discussing why he founded the Maverick Coaching Academy for coaches, trainers and wellness professionals to get better at bringing themselves to market and offering something more than just the right exercise or meal plan. Take notes if you're an artist as these skills are transferrable into teaching, performance and everything it takes to be your brand. Here's some more info on our guest today: As a Kinesiology graduate, Gavin McHale followed all the rules. He got himself a good job, gained experience and launched his own personal training business in 2012. He quickly realized that following the traditional business model would lead to trading more time for more money. So, he struck out to find a better way. Over the course of 4 years and tens of thousands of dollars invested, Gavin was able to build a 6-figure hybrid training business before founding the Maverick Coaching Academy in fall of 2019. In 2020, Gavin left the gym and went all in helping other personal trainers build their hybrid businesses. In just over 12 months, he went from ZERO to $150k and helped several of his students surpass the 6-figure mark. He is on a mission to fix the broken fitness industry and strives to help his students build their best life.

    When we set out to help the music industry, we had a just an idea. That idea was nurtured, shared among a few other people that we knew were excited about it and over the past year that idea has grown into a movement. We are reinventing the game and rewriting the rules when it comes to the music industry and health and wellness. Los Cabos Artist, Dan Todd and his lovely wife, Natalie Belmont were two of those people that just got it. Today's show is all about the behind the scenes steps it takes to craft something bigger than you. We knew there was an issue out there in regards to how to navigate the lifestyle, and we wanted to hear it from the people that have lived it. Dan has a few decades of professional touring experience. Dan has had the humbling privilege to work with: FLUDD, Honeymoon Suite, Alannah Myles, Mike Reno (Loverboy), Alen Frew (Glass Tiger), Jimi Jamison (Survivor), Kenny Maclean (Platinum Blonde), Gord Deppe (The Spoons), Rob Laidlaw, Bobby Cameron, Greg Godovitz (GODDO), Gino Scarpelli (GODDO), Jeff Jones (Red Ryder), Jim Gilmour (SAGA), Jimmy Crighton (SAGA), Ian Crighton (SAGA), Russ Dwarf (The Killer Dwarfs, Hardroad), Nick Walsh (Famous Underground, Slik Toxik), Dale Russell (The Guess Who), Platinum Blonde After this much life on the road, you start to pick up on some trends... Dan's wife, Natalie Belmont also joined in on the conversation as she accompanied Dan on many of the tours and has seen and lived the touring lifestyle as well. We thought it would be a great bit of insight to see how families do it and how things vary for the household when an artist kicks on on tour. Natalie is a Host on The Shopping Channel, and together with Dan is very committed to living well through food, exercise and fostering healthy relationships. This power couple was a blast to chat with as they were amidst home renovations and a fairly active season in the fall, which just goes to show that whatever comes up can be navigated with the right tools, some effort and the willingness and discipline to do so. Check out Dan on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/dantoddfanpage/ and instagram at instagram.com/drummerdantodd And Natalie on Instagram @nataliebelmont_ Again, big thanks to all the artists and industry that weighted in and shared their insight.
