Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! On this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon, host of the Purple Patch Podcast, discusses the Win Cycle program, designed to help leaders and teams achieve consistent performance. He emphasizes the importance of "nailing the basics" for high performance, drawing from his experience coaching elite triathletes. Dixon highlights key habits, such as the "Sunday Special" for reflection and planning, consistent fueling after training, adequate sleep, and regular strength training. He criticizes performance trends lacking a scientific basis, such as blood type diets and bioresonance devices, and warns against the OMAD diet for its nutrient gaps and energy instability. Dixon advocates for a simple, science-backed approach to build a performance-based layer for sustained high performance.   Resources Purple Patch and Episode Resources Learn more about Gwendolyn Bounds and her book, “Not Too Late: The Power of Pushing Limits at Any Age” at: www.gwendolynbounds.com Check out our world-class coaching and training options: Tri Squad: https://www.purplepatchfitness.com/squad 1:1 Coaching: https://www.purplepatchfitness.com/11-coached Run Squad: https://www.purplepatchfitness/com/run-squad Strength Squad: https://www.purplepatchfitness.com/strength-1 Live & On-Demand Bike Sessions: https://www.purplepatchfitness.com/bike Explore our training options in detail: https://bit.ly/3XBo1Pi Live in San Francisco?

"No matter what we navigate, adversities or joys alike, there are elements of who we are that are innate. I don't think they change just because circumstances change. I actually don't think we change at all. We just evolve."Mallory Weggemann was just 18 years old when a series of routine epidural injections for back pain left her with no movement from the waist down. Now, 17 years later, Mallory is a gold medal paralympian; an author, filmmaker and motivational speaker; and a fierce advocate for the disability community.In 2021, Mallory released her memoir LIMITLESS to share her journey and to empower others to overcome life's obstacles.

On top of that, Mallory brought home gold and silver medals from the Paralympic Games in Paris, making her a seven time medalist.During this conversation, Mallory and I discuss how she fell in love with the sport of swimming, what helped her navigate the trauma of becoming paralyzed, and the kinds of conversations she hopes to spark about disability in the world.

Description: Today's guest, Shannon Watts, has come to be known as a formidable force in the world. As the founder of Moms Demand Action, the largest grassroots movement against gun violence formed after the Sandy Hook school shooting tragedy in 2012, her activism has mobilized millions of moms to successfully pass  over 500 gun safety laws. As Amy poignantly stated, Shannon's work “has legitimately made a tangible impact on the safety of my kids in their classrooms”, demonstrating the profound significance of Shannon's contributions. Watts has since shifted her time and attention to empowering women, whom she credits as the real changemakers in any movement. She has founded the Firestarter School, a platform designed to help women reclaim their power and has a forthcoming book,  Fired Up: How to Turn Your Spark into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age, releasing in the summer of 2025, which explores the necessary elements needed to ignite a fire in your life and pursue your passion and purpose. Thought-provoking Quotes: When you get involved in something like activism, it helps you realize that you have all of this untapped power.  And it does give you the audacity to become a firestarter, to prioritize your desires over your obligations. – Shannon Watts Right out of college, I married my college sweetheart at 23-years-old. By the time I was 29, I had three children.  I have a job I don't love. By my mid-thirties, I realized, this is not the person I would have chosen to be. I was having a difficult time acknowledging that I was living a life that was not true to me. – Shannon Watts So many women keep collecting new fuel, acquiring new skills, waiting for the other pieces to come together.  And we're prepared when the opportunity presents itself. – Amy Hardin Society shoulders women with so many burdens so she doesn't have room to explore her desires.  If you're going to claim space, raise your voice, you are going to get blowback.  The direct proportion of how much you can grow your fire corresponds to how much blowback you're willing to withstand. – Shannon Watts Remind yourself of your wins everyday, whether they're your wins or wins for what you want to see in the world. Give yourself hope and affirmation. – Shannon Watts Fighting for your safety and your rights is a form of self-care and a form of protection for other people. – Shannon Watts Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Camino Made (B.T.

"I hope I've helped to create a framework where people find a way and feel like their voice can make a difference because I have seen how just one voice can make a difference."In 2022, after 18 months of fertility treatment, Texan Amanda Zurawski and her husband learned she was pregnant. However, at 18 weeks, doctors told Amanda she had miscarried. And then, because of Texas's abortion ban, those same doctors denied Amanda the healthcare she urgently needed and she nearly died from septic shock.Amanda has since become an advocate for abortion and reproductive care, and was the lead plaintiff in Zurawski v. Texas, the first lawsuit brought by patients challenging a state on its abortion bans since the fall of Roe v. Wade. Her case is featured in a new documentary by the same name.Earlier this year, Amanda was named a TIME Woman of the Year, a very deserved honor. As you listen to Amanda tell her story, you'll hear how brave and fierce she is, how her life has been turned upside down in all the right ways, and what's next on her journey from athlete to communications professional to an incredible advocate for women's rights.

“For women, people of color, and anyone on the margins, there's a culture and society that wants to dominate us; to keep us oppressed and in line. The more that we fight through it, the better off we are and the more fires we can start to disrupt the world around us.”Alencia Johnson is an award-winning commentator, political advisor, leader and now an author who is teaching people how to be everyday disruptors. After working on presidential campaigns of President Obama, Senator Warren, and President Biden, Alencia went to work for Planned Parenthood where she helped create “Stand with Black Women," a campaign to call attention to Black people's bodily autonomy and dignity. Alencia's debut book Flip The Tables: The Everyday Disruptor's Guide to Finding Courage and Making Change, a manual for finding your audacity, shaking up the status quo, and creating a better world, is out now.During our conversation, Alencia and I discuss the life lessons she took away from being raised by activists, the mental and physical health struggles that helped her focus on her personal fulfillment, and how she found the courage to be an agitator for good. Alencia is a strong and compassionate leader, a bold and confident risk-taker, and a courageous warrior for justice and equality.

Ever feel like you're stuck in a loop of I'll do it tomorrow? You're not alone! On this week's Wellness Wednesday episode of The Debbie Nigro Show, we tackled procrastination and the sneaky ways we self-sabotage—especially when it comes to fitness, confidence, and transformation. My fabulous guest, Danita Young, is a transformational coach and cognitive performance expert who knows a thing or two (or a thousand!) about helping people break free from limiting beliefs.

She teaches women to track their subconscious beliefs and shift their mindset from self-doubt to unstoppable confidence. Can You Really Transform at Any Age? One of my favorite moments? When Danita shared the story of Joan, who started her fitness journey at 75 and now, at 80, has the best body of her life. Proof that transformation is possible at any age—as long as you believe it is. The Magic Formula to Overcoming Stress & Procrastination Danita offers a free masterclass that delivers five powerful steps to break free from stress, anxiety, and procrastination. She doesn't believe in fluff—just straight-to-the-point, actionable strategies to help you stop waiting and start winning. Let's Talk Booty Bands! Of course, we had to chat about her Booty Bands—the simple but genius fitness tool trusted by over 85,000 women. Whether you're working out at home or on the go, these bands help sculpt and tone your body in just 15 minutes a day. And yes, I promised her I'd actually start using mine! (I know they're around here somewhere!) Listen to the Full Interview!

Guest: Karen Gray, CEO & Founder of Gray Legacy Coaching Karen Gray is a powerhouse in leadership and personal transformation. As the CEO and founder of Gray Legacy Coaching and President of Texas Business Women Inc., she's a force behind helping individuals unlock their innate strengths and step into confident leadership. With a passion for aligning values, intentions, and purpose, Karen is a true catalyst for meaningful change in life and business.  Episode Overview  The workplace is evolving rapidly, and with that change comes uncertainty, stress, and the constant pressure to adapt. In this episode, we dive deep into what it really means to lead—whether you're an executive or someone navigating career shifts. We explore how to operate from a place of alignment, how to break free from toxic workplace patterns, and how to step into leadership—regardless of your job title.  If you've ever felt disempowered at work or questioned your next move, this conversation is for you.  �� Three Game-Changing Takeaways  1️⃣Your Leadership Starts Now—No Permission Needed  2️⃣Toxic Work Environments Don't Define You—Your Choices Do 3️⃣Embracing Change is the Key to Thriving in Midlife & Beyond �� Key Topics & Insights  1️⃣The Power of Intentional Leadership (06:00)  �� "Each one can reach one." Karen shares how every person—regardless of position—can shift workplace culture by leading through example and operating from clear values. She explains how intentional leadership begins with self-respect, setting boundaries, and showing up with integrity, even in challenging environments.  �� Explanation: Many believe leadership is reserved for those at the top, but true leadership is about influence, not authority. When individuals model aligned, values-driven behavior, they create ripple effects that shift organizational culture.  2️⃣How to Navigate Toxic Workplaces Without Losing Yourself (10:07)  �� "When I'm reacting in retribution, I lower my own energy." Karen discusses the challenge of working in environments where fear, control, and negativity dominate. She breaks down the importance of maintaining emotional intelligence, setting healthy detachment, and recognizing that toxic environments do not define personal worth.  �� Explanation: Workplaces can trigger deep emotional responses, making it tempting to react impulsively. However, those who master self-awareness and emotional regulation maintain their inner peace, operate from strength, and often inspire change in others.  3️⃣The Courage to Pivot & Reinvent Yourself at Any Age (19:22)  �� "You've been investing this whole time for what's next." Karen shares her personal journey of leaving a long-time career in financial services to step into her true calling. She dismantles the myth of the “sunk cost fallacy” and explains how every past experience contributes to future success—even if it seems unrelated at first. �� Explanation: Many hesitate to make career pivots out of fear of wasted time or lost identity. But reinvention is not about discarding the past—it's about integrating everything learned into a more aligned, fulfilling path forward.  �� Notable Quotes  ✨ "If you believe you're powerless, you will find proof that you are." ✨ "We all have the choice to change the energy in the spaces we enter." ✨ "The cost of staying in the wrong place is always greater than the fear of change."  �� Final Thought  This episode is a call to action: Own your power. Whether you're in a leadership role or just getting started, your ability to influence change starts with how you show up every single day. Stop waiting for external circumstances to improve—be the leader in your life and career now.  �� Loved this conversation? Share it with someone feeling stuck in their career or questioning their next move. The ripple effect starts with YOU.  �� Listen Now & Step Into Your Radical Leadership!

Hey Rainmakers! Chelsey and Stephen here, and today we're diving into an essential topic that affects everyone—managing anxiety and emotions. We're joined by the inspiring Natty Lewis, who shares her journey of overcoming anxiety and finding emotional resilience. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by anxiety or struggled with balancing emotions, Natty's insights and techniques are about to change the game. Natty opens up about her early experience as an athlete, where she didn't understand anxiety and viewed it as something people needed to “toughen up” against or chill out. But everything changed when she entered a new phase of life, becoming a mom and navigating a career. The transition brought unexpected challenges, leading her to study the roots of anxiety and how the mind and body work together to process it. Now, she helps others understand that anxiety is a natural response that can be managed with the right tools. In this episode, Natty introduces her concept of getting a "master's degree in recognition" as the first step to managing anxiety. By understanding the physical sensations that come with stress—whether it's a racing heart, sweaty palms, or tightness in the chest—listeners can begin to recognize anxiety without fear. Natty walks us through powerful exercises to release pent-up energy, including a guided body-tensing technique that helps reset the nervous system in moments of high stress. We can't wait to use this in our own life, and even teach our 4-year-old!  Chelsey and Stephen also dive into the importance of showing versus shunning emotion, especially in business and family life. Natty explains the difference between productive emotional release and reactions driven by frustration or panic, sharing her own stories of navigating intense environments from business meetings and even places like NFL boardrooms. She offers practical advice for busy moms and entrepreneurs on finding one core identity, which can reduce the “switching costs” of wearing multiple hats. So, take a deep breath and join us for an episode packed with actionable tools to conquer anxiety and embrace emotional freedom. You're not alone, and these tips are here to support you every step of the way!   Connect with us: ► Rainmaker Instagram: @therainmakerfamily   ► Chelsey Instagram: @chels_diaz   ► Stephen Instagram: @steezdiaz    ► TikTok: @therainmakerfamily   ► Facebook: @diazfamilylegacy   ► Website: @https://therainmakerfamily.com   Join Our Next Rainmaker Challenge - How To Make Passive Income From Home: https://therainmakerchallenge.com Save On Our Favorite Things: https://rainmakerfamily.com/deals Watch The Million Dollar Mama Case Study: https://www.makeitrainmomma.com/casestudy  Episode Minute by Minute:  0:00 - Managing Anxiety: We believe this episode will set some people free!  2:00 - Natty's Background: From Athlete to Mom 6:00 - Recognizing Physical Signs of Anxiety 12:00 - Body-Tensing Technique for Stress Relief 18:00 - Balancing Emotions in Business Settings 24:00 - Showing vs. Shunning Emotion 29:00 - Parenting Tips for Teaching Emotional Regulation at Any Age

Guest: Eric Brotman, CFP®, AEP®, CPWA®, is a Principal and the Chief Executive Officer of BFG Financial Advisors. Eric began his financial planning practice in Baltimore in 1994, and founded Brotman Financial Group in 2003, which later became BFG Financial Advisors. He and his team focus on supporting families and individuals by providing comprehensive financial planning and wealth management services. Eric is also the author of Don't Retire... Graduate!: Building a Path to Financial Freedom and Retirement at Any Age. In a Nutshell: As a founder/advisor, how does your role evolve over time? I frequently have these conversations with my coaching clients where we discuss what does the advisor want their role to be. In the early stages of your career, you have to do everything, but as the business grows, you have to decide what you're going to double down on and what you're going to let go of. There's no one answer that fits every advisor. Some advisors naturally and easily segue into a leadership role and give up most, if not all of their lead advisor client relationships. Other advisors do not enjoy the management role of running the business, managing people, and they prefer the relationship side of the business and business development. Regardless of which route you want to go, you have to figure out how to build the team and the infrastructure around you so that every function within the organization is getting taken care of at a high level such that you can focus on what you do best, what you enjoy the most, and that moves the needle for the company. On today's show, Eric Brotman and I have a wide-ranging conversation that touches on evolving your role over time, succession planning, transitioning clients, teamwork, scalable processes, and how to accelerate organic growth without losing a human touch.
