Tearing the achilles tendon that connects the large calf muscle to the heel bone is a major injury that could derail your fitness efforts for up to a full year (depending on the severity of the injury and the healing period). Two recent guests of All About Fitness, Tony Gentilcore and Dr. Jay Dawes, experienced calf injuries and achilles tears that took months to recover from. These are two intelligent, well-respected fitness professionals who each experienced the same debilitating injury that is very common among active adults. Here's the thing, if you listen to this podcast, you ARE NOT allowed to have this kind of injury. My job is to inform you how to remain injury free so that you can exercise and train to enjoy all of your favorite activities. This Quick Fit Tip covers the mechanism of injury for calf tears, it's one of the most common injuries for active adults and, more importantly, discusses strategies that you can follow to reduce the risk of having this type of injury. On this Quick Fit Tip it's all about how to NOT injure your calf when you're out being active and enjoying your favorite activities.

Listen to this podcast & ask yourself if you're doing these 3 things & if you come to the conclusion you ARE NOT then it's time for you to make a change.

* Guest: Dr. Scott Bradley – To Preserve The Nation – FreedomsRisingSun.com. * ICYMI: Fauci Lied To Congress About Gain-of-Function Research - Ben Swann, TruthInMedia.com. * Sen. Paul suggested that the NIH had funded gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which could have contributed to an accidental lab leak. Fauci emphatically denied the charge. * The lab-leak theory, once dismissed by most mainstream sources as a conspiracy theory, has gained increasing momentum in recent weeks. A number of experts and officials have either outright supported the theory or refused to rule it out. The WHO's initial inquiry into the virus origins dismissed the theory, but the body has since backtracked and acknowledged it may be possible. * Anthony Fauci, the top medical adviser to President Joe Biden, is no longer convinced that COVID-19 was brought about by a natural origin. * House intel report: 'Overwhelming' evidence COVID leaked from Wuhan lab - Finds Chinese military involved in research possibly funded by US - Art Moore, WND.com. * CDC Director Rochelle Walensky admitted in response to queries by Sen. John Kennedy that it's "possible" the COVID-19 virus could have leaked "from a lab." * a group of 18 prominent scientists published a paper in the journal Science calling for an investigation into the origins of the pandemic, insisting an accidental leak from a lab cannot be ruled out. * There is overwhelming circumstantial evidence, however, to support a lab leak as the origination of COVID-19, while there is no substantive evidence supporting the natural zoonosis hypothesis." * COVID-19 'Vaccines' Are Not vaccines at all, They Are experimental Gene Therapy!

As we mourn the loss but celebrate the life of Earl Simmons also known as DMX, it is a reminder that leaders are not superhuman but navigate their own personal struggles. There is an idea that leadership means perfection and we tend to put others first rather than prioritize our own personal growth and development. Let's discuss normalizing that leaders ARE NOT perfect, creating organizational cultures that support those seeking mental health support and prioritize self leadership to address areas of concern.

Today Mr. INTP and I talk about the relation between reality and our capacity to grasp it, how our knowledge of the world is based on the scientific method, and how common it is for you and me to base our entire thinking and decision-making on theories that may be internally consistent but are not provably true; they have merely not been falsified... yet. "I know that I know nothing" is a saying that is derived from Socrates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_that_I_know_nothing Heuristics are what humans use to create a model of (their experience of) their environment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristic "The Contagion Myth: Why Viruses (including 'Coronavirus') Are Not the Cause of Disease" is a book by Thomas Cowan and Sally Fallon Morell that I want to read: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/contagion-myth-thomas-s-cowan-md/1137427415 The scientific method is an established method of observing and describing reality, especially in Western culture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method Occasionalism is a philosophy that is at odds with our every-day thinking about cause and effect: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/occasionalism/ Homepage: https://whoamipodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcastwhoami Twitter: https://twitter.com/PodcastWhoami Odysee: https://odysee.com/@WhoamiPodcast Attributions: Music: "Merry Bay" by Ghostrifter Official (https://soundcloud.com/ghostrifter-official/merry-bay)

Thank you so much for joining me for todays podcast !! DAY 25 of our 30 day manifestation journey .. .We have covered everything along the last 24 days ... Powerfully understanding that along with our intention setting process.... There is an energetic world of things that either help us attract this thing we set out to have .. OR... it repels it from us .. We now look to a very important part of this teaching and wisdom from the Universe .. and that is that ... Your thoughts... words.. and behaviors ARE NOT left in the past after your moment shifts from this one to the next... They are projected " forward" energetically ... in physical time as a representation of all that you believe .. all that you have faith in ,.. and all that you believe is possible for you... and it will continue to recreate the reality inside of your mind as a mirror of these energetic systems .... BECAUSE YOU ARE THE CREATOR.... co creating with this Universe .. your Subconscious Mind.. God.. Source Energy ... Any name you choose as long as you understand how powerful it is ... and how powerful you are ... Knowing that what we think say and do is projected forward energetically ... Can really help us go deeper into why we say what we say .. do what we do and think what we think....  Allow yourself to tell a new story.. Because the only reason you told the old story of limitation was because you were unconscious to your true potential... But.... NOW you are AWAKE.....  Much Love Today ! ~ Pat  IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOU CAN USE THIS LINK BELOW TO HELP KEEP YOU CENTERED AND ON TRACK FOR THIS 30 DAY JOURNEY! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ FREE: Journaling and Scripting Mini Master Class !!! https://linktr.ee/likeattractslike Enrollment for The Next 1:1 Consciousness Mastery Programs: Click Link for more INFO! https://linktr.ee/likeattractslike Support the podcast through Patreon : ) THANK YOU !! to all who do !!

Do you workout daily but struggle with losing weight, gaining lean muscle mass, increasing your energy and eliminating daily aches and pains? . Does it seem that no matter what diet you try, or new workout routine you commit to, you still can't get the results that you are looking for? . What if I were to tell you that it has nothing to do with what you ARE doing, and everything to do with what you ARE NOT doing? . In this Episode I talk about how I was able to lose 15lbs by focusing on the one thing I WASN'T DOING and how it completely changed the way I lived my life! . #IkonCoaching #IkonNutrition #BeIkonic #IkonMindset

Today's episode #78 is for all women, including myself, who are challenged from the lesser to the greatest degree possible with self-doubt and limiting beliefs of who you ARE and who you ARE NOT, according to your appearance, status quo, expectations of others, achievements or self-worth. Today, I want to raise awareness of those misconceptions and lies we tell ourselves. I want to challenge your limiting beliefs, your doubts, your failures and replace them with the truth; the more rational and reasonable logic. Because you are more. Way more than what you or anyone else says or thinks you are. You are more according the the God I love, know, trust and serve.Tune in to next week's Mid-Week Motivation of Who You Really Are.WEBSITE: https://www.herhjourneytowardschange.comFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/HerJourneyTowardsChangeINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/lauraconrad.lifecoachPRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP FOR WOMEN: https://www.facebok.com//groups/herjourneytowardschangesisterhood

Coconut is a favorite of Gabi's. But these cookies ARE NOT.

Homily for March 14th, 2021 The 4th Sunday in Lent Celebrant: Fr. Lee McLeod, CJ St. Aidan's Anglican Church, Nicholasville, KY www.jessamineanglicans.org Lectionary Readings Numbers 21:4-9 Psalm 91 Ephesians 2:1-10 John 3:14-21 Important note: I didn't have time to address an important point in this week's sermon. I want to be very clear on this particular point - that while the symptoms of acedia can sound a lot like depression, & acedia often feeds on depression and anxiety, they ARE NOT the same thing. Please DO NOT hear my words today as suggesting depression or anxiety are just "bad thoughts" or sin. Acedia is a decision we make to stop caring, to shut others away. Depression and anxiety are complex mental disorders that require proper treatment. If you are experiencing depressive thoughts or anxiety, and don't know who to talk to, simply dial 211 for help finding qualified people to treat you. It may take counseling, or therapy, or medication. Those are all healthy ways we can experience healing. And always know that you are loved, you are important, and that you are not alone!

⬇️⬇️⬇️ FREE: Journaling and Scripting Mini Master Class !!! https://linktr.ee/likeattractslike *** If you are listening to this on 3-15-21 I will be going LIVE on INSTAGRAM tomorrow at 4pm to answer any questions you may have regarding your manifestation journey so far !!  We are going to make it happen and I can't wait to see you there ! Here we are !! Day 15.  The half way point ... I've been hearing from so many of you amazing humans... Sooooo many of you are "getting this"...  It usually happens around NOW...  ( If you've been doing this consistently each day with your intention  )...  You've now understood by observing the old "story" of you that you ARE NOT what it says .. OR WHO IT SAYS YOU "ARE".... You are simply the observer of it .... From here you have now understood that you are presented with 2 voices .??? Hmmmmm... One seems to be for this thing I want ... and one is clearly against it... or my ability to get it ... or against the Universe being able to help in the process .lol ...  But you realize that you can simply CHOOSE... to give your attention and aligned energy to the voice that says you can...  KNOWING full well that the more you do this... the resistance felt from the Doubting ego mind is going to increase ... STILL.... give it no attention ...sit in the energy of it to show it you are no longer scared of it .. or believing what it says ... You will go through a sense of WTD as these old versions of you die... But you will emerge on the other side .. THAT much closer to what you want .. There is really no such thing as an OVERNIGHT success.... and inside we talk about how important it is to the entire process that we accept and surrender that ...  THEN you will shift .. IT is here.. and YOU are lining up to it perfectly !  MUCH LOVE TO YOU TODAY !

There are two gigantic trends happening right now in crypto - pre sales and NFTs. Everyone wants access to the early private rounds in new crypto projects and to purchase rare NFTs. Getting into a private sale is where the 5x, 10x, 20x and 100x gains are made and holding a rare NFT could make you rich! This is because projects start at a low market cap and only go up from there if successful and getting into an NFT with a low supply could hold a lot of value. Even legendary investor Chamath Palihapitiya has spoken about the value of NFTs calling them the next frontier, and when an investor like him speaks you better listen.   ByBit, Market Cipher, Ledger, TokenMetrics, Crypto.com & more!

Real talk: I have body goals. I have body goals just as much as anyone else, BUT I think my body goals look quite a bit different than the average woman. Let me first tell you what my 2021 body goals ARE NOT…   It is not losing weight. It is not having a six-pack or a flatter stomach. It’s not having the MOST defined muscles⁣⁣. It’s not having a very low body fat percentage⁣⁣. It’s not having zero cellulite dimples on my body⁣⁣. It’s not having a“picture-perfect”body.   I know what you’re thinking…if those aren’t my body goals, then what ARE?! In this episode, I'll explain why these aren’t my goals and why they shouldn't be yours either… Plus, be sure to check out Episode 42: How to Lose Weight Naturally

In the first episode of their second year, Ryan and Tina are super stoked to be looking into the career of one of the all-time comedic geniuses, Adam Sandler! By some unprecedented chance, both Ryan and Tina pick movies that ARE NOT comedies, yet dramas starring Sandler. In Ryan's movie, the underlying storyline is family and the relationships or lack there of that can last a lifetime. Tina discusses her family dynamics and hopes that she has when she is older with a potential family of her own. As for Tina, her movie surrounded friendship and the value it can have in all people involved. Ryan talks about times where he not only helped lift up friends of his but when they were doing the same without even knowing it. Also, Ryan sneaks in a funny story during Tina's good news story, don't miss that and a whole lot more on this week's episode of RTC!!

Blaire Broda, wife of Joel Broda and Dana Oleksuk, wife of Travis Olekusk, join me on the pod today. The three of us are currently living in Graz, Austria this hockey season and we had an unfiltered episode about everything going on right now.We talk about quarantine, COVID, lockdown, going stir crazy and some of the struggles we are feeling. We chat about what it's like going through this weird time with kids (everything being closed down and cooped up in the apartment) and how this hockey season is just plain bizarre. It is really challenging when you don't have anything to look forward to, including season breaks and having family come out to visit.I hope this episode brings you a sense of collectiveness that you ARE NOT alone going through these hard times. 

Whoa! When I tell you energy......ENERGY!!! What a time! Special shoutout to Sean Wilson for joining us on this one! Topics include: Who creates more double standards men or women? Is “hangry” a real thing; does it bother you when someone is angry because they haven’t eaten? What is dating? Does your potential spouse NEED to give you best friend vibes as well? Why are people insensitive towards sensitivity? Is texting somebody quickly that you’re interested in or talking to a sign of being too desperate/thirsty? Holding your tongue in an argument: A sign of maturity or lack of growth? Is there a such thing as proposal etiquette. What’s your go to line to end a FaceTime call? Who’s harder to please: momma’s boy or daddy’s girl? Why do men feel useless when they don’t have money? Name something you are not sharing no matter who it is. #BustItChallenge. Do you believe in incentives for good grades? Name some characteristics of the opposite sex that are sexy or appealing to you that ARE NOT physical? Have you ever dated someone just to impress others? What mantra have you used to justify a bad decision? "Things That Make You Go Hmmm", "Black Excellence", "Damn Girl", and MORE!!!***WE DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS TO THE MUSIC ON THIS SHOW!!!***MIC TALKERS THIS IS FOR YOU!!!

This week we are in our last week in our series called Walking in the light of Jesus. In the past weeks, we have talked about how God's light is greater than darkness, how to live in the light of Jesus, and the blessings of living in the light of Jesus. As we end this series, we will be talking about how it's time to be the light to someone else. Now realize, you ARE NOT the light; Jesus is. But when you shine your light, you are shining the light of Jesus to someone else. This week, we will be talking about shining our light in three main points: how we are called to share the Good News, being a prepared soldier of Christ, and ministering to others.

I've been riding the coast handlebar at four hundred and eighty millimeters and the coast dropper post for maybe almost three months now, and after tell you I'm really sold particularly with my recent move down to two Panga California. I've really started to own my appreciation for the suspended dropper post. So, let's make an important distinction. there. I'm a big fan of the dropper post the ability to drop your saddle down via technical sections the Costa Dropper Post is actually a suspended dropper post. So it's air actuated meaning. You can tune it to your body weight and preference, but the post will actually dipped down when I hit a rather aggressive hit with the back end of my bike. So I'm using the dropper component. When I know I'm going to get into some rough stuff and the suspended component when I don't. The net result of this is I'm always protected when I get into the rough stuff saddle up saddle down I've got a little secret weapon. This dropper post combined with the wide handlebars has left me as comfortable as I've ever been getting into the technical terrain.

So onto this week's guest, really excited to welcome George Houck's furred from the bag company Applera based in London England. Abdur has a full range of bags for gravel cycling bike packing excetera. You guys know I love bags. So as exciting to talk to George and take bags from every different angle on the bike and talk about mixing and matching different bags to meet your gravel cycling needs so I. Hope You enjoy this interview and with that said, let's dive right in George Welcome to the show. Thank you. Thank you. It's great to be here Yeah. It's a real honor you listen to podcasts for. Rages now. Yes. Fantastic guests and yeah. So It's going to be amongst them I appreciate that. Well, let's start off by learning a little bit about you and your cycling background, and then about epidurals and how it came about and I'm excited really everybody on the WHO listened to the podcast knows I'm a big bag geek. So I'm excited to kind of just go from tip to tail and talk about the full range of bags that grovel cyclists can be using to satisfy. Their their gear capacity heeds. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. That sounds great. I'm Yeah. I'm a massive Geek on as well. So we're GONNA need someone to stop too much into the details to a perfect house zips work and all that kind of thing. But yeah, we'll try and keep interesting right on. So how did you? How did you get into cycling and how did you find your way to aperture and how did the company get started? Well, I've I like a lot of your guests start off in white shops. Growing up at always been into bike since anything really racing mountain bikes riding Banamex is all kinds of stuff. Are Not led me working in bike shops Off the. Ships bit moved up to the what can brand and. I ended up driving a big van for the demo bikes round the UK, for a number of years to events, setting people up full suspension bikes setting up in talks and trial sentences, which was which was great and that sort of led me down a kind of marketing within the cycle industry Yeah and then I I came across the aperture once they've been what's been going for little bit to kind of help them with the with the growth than. Themselves in the in the kind of wide cycling market. So. Yeah. At this point, I've been here. Account even think maybe it's three is Yes go relatively young company and. Yeah I'm not spend time with them now and when the company was first founded, they've was it founded around us certain specific product or opportunity. yet to ascend extent. So the company was actually founded in two thousand thirteen, but it was it was about a year and for products came out. So a found a tour had been been writing for a great number of years and had really gotten into the side riding coming mugged on a long distance cross country background, and then moving into longer longer events. I'm basically found that the kind of the on offer at that time to kind of backpacking gear wasn't the same kind of experience maybe wasn't the same kind of technical stand as she used to in kind of clothing and in the bikes and suspension electron stuff and I wanted to kind of. 00:05:13 - 00:10:02 Add a bit more technology and make a little bit if people actually get the stuff on their bikes. So having done toward abide, she decided to kind of. Out in south accompanied. By, two thousand fourteen. I packs were on the market. And since then I think we've really entered the golden age of bags on bikes. The innovation has been. Super staggering the last few years. Likes, and we now see bags attached almost everywhere across the bike and I needed. Yeah. Yeah. That's that's a good point I mean when? When bought packing I died it was really. It was more about what it wasn't. It wasn't racks and Patios and that meant people can put bags on the kind of bikes that particular surface they weren't to right. Instead of starting with a bike, the luggage you start with the ride bike for the kind of writing once. said, he wanted to ride for a week on a mountain bike of two weeks on a road bike you went. Held back trying to find something that could run a rack Sarah it comes style that way the the archetype. Like packing ranges probably the saddle pack then quite quickly. So handlebar pox name frame packs. And those kind of like there's three pieces make what most people think the covered. By packing south. You're quite right and plenty of of places on the bike where you can squeeze and space if you want to. Yeah I think you know one of the big takeaways I wanted to have the listener? Arrive at from this conversation was just they already have a bike that's capable of doing massive amounts of adventure from. Multi Week, multi-month touring to just being more comfortable on a long big day ride. So if we talk about the different types of packs I thought, it'd be a good way to start just a start at the front of the bike and let's go through all the different modalities because you've referenced handlebar bags frame bags and saddlebags which will drill into but there's also additional mounting points from top to mounts to folk mounts two. Different I know you've got different accessory packs that velcro onto the bike anywhere you want who? Let's start at the front of the bike and maybe down at the fork and just talk about what's possible. Yeah. Yeah. That's that's a really good way of going I'm semi when I look at a kind of applied this I'm always trying to balance out is. Accessibility, that's it's the the white and the white balance on the bike So as you get kind of. Away from where you are a writer, that's the kind of stuff way you've got limited accessibility it's so stop worrying to go into maybe just the beginning of the ride or at the end of the ride. So on the full quayle talking about this there's loads of companies now, really getting into the idea of helping white pack is out wiping more mounts on their bikes. On the foot mounts really good spot for that image you can carry around comfortably zero solid mountain place. what it lacks is that kind of accessibility from the Saddle Sipho may be in stuff that. That was like kind camping out maybe or needed for the the at the end of the Roy robinsons want to be getting into as far as weight distribution George. So I don't have any experience with extra weight on the forks like that on the side how to how does one think about that does the imagine it slows the steering down quite a bit. So is there you packing your most lightweight? Non, every moment needed items down there. Yeah that that would certainly be my suggestion. Packs on the four care of some of the last packs I would add to pretty full sets up. So it's the kind of thing if we. Sang out for. To a three week trip and you needed some extra stuff worth it got really cold Planning Mountain Pastas awebber changeable. It's real good spot for an extra thick sleeping bag or another layer sleeping system as well as a a down jacket or something like that generally that yeah. January the principal we wanna think about is the heavy of the item the closer to the bottom bracket we want to put it. That just keeps the handling as you'd expect on your bunk and the key thing about the packing set is that we can use a whole system of smallpox to kind of to achieve that objective robin putting everything just in one spot mobike. Yeah. That makes a ton of sense and when you look at the a line up, you can see a lot of these different small areas and accessory packs that are possible and as you said, it's it's really about kind of taking the the big areas which might be the the seat pack, the frame pack and handlebar role, and augmenting them as necessary depending on the duration of your trip. Yet you caught right there and you know. 00:10:02 - 00:15:13 A mixture of smaller packs, a larger number of smaller. One Big One it also helps to organize if you've just getting into one, they kind of a really large pack trying to find that one small thing you need it, it can be a bit difficult having things more organized into lots of small places can sometimes help you up. Yeah, absolutely. So going up a little bit onto the handlebar now, there's a couple of different style bags that you guys offer. I had previous experience with kind of a role side bag. which until I went to a larger handlebar, my gravel bike, it actually wouldn't fit on my gravel bike with a kind of forty four centimeter bar and to your point earlier, I would sort of focus a lot of stuff that I wasn't going to need during the day. So I might put my sleeping bag in there because I was always a bit conscious of the weight on the front end of the handlebar just in terms of the effects of the steering. Yeah I completely agree with that often myself this is exactly what goes that my sleeping bag up a baby bag or Top shelter in here. It's a thin you WANNA be getting into the beginning and end of the rod of getting ended derailing. It because of the shape that you've got that you're quite right their offspring restrictions based on how you've likes out. So Away Hood saw. How Wide Jabbar is sometimes, you'll find different shifts with a different amount of fro on that Liba when you shifting can affect this as well. So it's always best to to really check those before what when setting a backup you'll find most people's packs similar to ours have kind of that role feature on that allows you to just the the. Width of what you're putting it on most things are going to put American principal. So you can really shaped up to how you want it. I do think I do think that the size restrictions on these bikes is actually super positive thing because I. Think new bike packers have a tendency to try to bring everything in the kitchen sink with them and. Being forced to edit is so crucial I found in getting a bike that still writable and just getting the minimal amount of gear that you need to have to be safe. Yeah you're entirely right. I mean we say here Super Light. It is we spend a Lotta time trying to make as light as we can, but some of the biggest weight savings just the up in there. So the the biggest savings on the stuff that gets left home when send your bike things, you don't really need. Yeah and I think when we talk about handlebar bags, there's definitely arranged right there's obviously like the sort of the expedition style pack which is trying to carry as much gear as possible but there's also smaller packs which I've talked about on the podcast before and You know in the wintertime just having a small handlebar bag can be super super useful location for your extra Jackie, your gloves and a little bit of food. Yeah Yeah I agree with that. Kind of the maximum space that we can really use a areas something probably in the twenty liter range and that's on a ball. You know it's really wide like a real flat drop. Well, maybe even a flatbed depending on your up and then yeah, we can go right down to something a lot smaller. Those kind of the smaller Bob it's opening. Really, good for grapple as you suggest that kind of. Semi accessible I call it kind of one on clipped accessibility where you could just put that one Riyobi's from the bike and grab a jacket or bar something is, is it really useful spun? You can still. Get that benefit even when you go into a full packing south by using an accessory pocket or another Pao Chung from of that. Any brands that have a similar approach Abbott. Let Lil extra. Accessibility is important things you might want to grab on the road. So I think it's a great time to be having this conversation as a lot of parts of the world they're going into winter time and just the idea having a a little bit extra storage capacity somewhere on your bike for an extra jacket or vaster gloves can really adds to the comfort level is slipping back a little bit on the bike. Another popular area is that top tube pack for. Kind of power bars, maybe holding your phone little bit small amounts of food for those of you who have stared down at the two bolts on your top tube and scratched her head as to what the heck. Therefore they're really for these top two packs that can add just a little bit to the to the bike. Yeah. This is a this is a fantastic was any ride to be honest And it's great. We're seeing so many more people. Deciding to to carry hit. This Israeli for the things that you normally putting your jazzy pockets. But maybe if you're riding gravel with a little bit more room, you don't want to be reaching behind and riding one hand trying to dig out own or never energy bars a this is a much basketball. You can instantly grab it. You can see what you're carrying multiple different sizes options out there depending on whether he'll balancing lightweight or you once it's fully waterproof all like mentioned, you want some of the used bolts on the top of your bike extra ability that was actually one of my first piff unease of bags on the bike for gravel and I. 00:15:14 - 00:20:03 What You said is spot on when you're off road reaching back to your pocket becomes more difficult. So having something in front of you while you're on a sort of a bumpy climb that you can unzip or flip flop over and just grab some food or any item, you need quick access to as really been a game changer for me really enjoy that I've stopped using it a little bit in as I've moved to the next bag I wanted to talk about, which is sort of the the quarter or half frame bag. Can you talk about that type of bag how it attach is and maybe the storage capacity those bags offer. Yes sure Yeah. Experience that she very similar deals. Sa-, this kind of pack occupies the Front space of your frame triangle I refer to Lisa's of like a wedge. The key thing with this kind of packing there's it's not size Pacific your bike. It still allows you to run water bottles have access just normal typically in this space on the bike, we can give you somewhere between two full elitist spending. What kind of a self you've them what kind of patchy get that's about double. What you get from atop cheap pack the cool thing about the easiest that really really stable typically be connecting to your down tribute talk to you potentially around your head chief as well which means that just lock in there that really out the way. Completely clear of your knees. However, you writing doing Yeah I'm for me I quite honestly mainstay time. Now this there's no downside to it. It works equally well, completely full or empty So yeah. If you put on that sped up and eat snacks then left with. Any Yeah I already skipped over that one. I'm glad you brought that up because that's one one that I haven't used personally kind of the smaller right up to the front bag I jumped right to the quarter frame bag going all the way to the seat tube Yeah. Yeah. So I think I think that's a great point because. And that's that's the takeaway I think for the listener is kind of look at the range of bags. Your favorite supplier has if you go to the APP Adora site, you'll see all these different things and you'll start it'll start to click in your mind. Oh, that would be a good combination maybe it's a atop to to bag and this little bag or a different seat bag or handlebar bag, and you start to piece together the storage capacity that you need for your style of writing. Yeah, that's quite right and if you find pox that really worked fuel kind of epic on a day rights and then you want to take up something a bit further and it's just a matter of. adding. Something small you. If you beginning packs with the idea, feel one weeklong trip year you'll you wouldn't have as much use some time. Yeah I'm I'm frankly probably guilty of carrying too much stuff on the daily just because I have that full of length of the top tube quarter frame bag on my bike but I, just love the convenience I don't really have to think about editing too much my gear I just have a full repair kit in their plus jacket an extra gloves almost every ride yeah. Yeah this is a great. It's a great kind of pop going all the way back to that a seat cheap the the other benefits you know when you are the longer trips is that things tent Poles that they can start working in that when she using the full length, your top cheap. Depending on how big your bike is. You have to stop thinking about how you're going to carry Walter this point if you're in a smaller bike, you may have to use kind of bowl cage relocated or consider using a small all even side entry cages just to make sure that you still access But yeah, for most people, this kind of offering packed like that. Isn't again, the Weber much is going to give you storage capacity up to about about five liters depending frame size. Yeah. Let's point actually I did move to those kind of side mounted or side accessed bottle cages to just accommodate two water bottles on my medium size frame and not style bag. The other thing I want to point out is I've sort of eliminated for my daily rides, any other type of bag on the bike so I'm no longer using a seat bag. Or handle bag when I have that what I call the quarter frame bag I think you're referring to it at the half frame bag when I put that on I just kind of consolidate everything into it and I do enjoy the kind of clean aesthetic look to it, and also the knowledge that with some smaller bags whether it's reattaching seat bag or handlebar bag I sort of dramatically open up from a percentage perspective what I can carry. Yeah. Yeah. That's quite right and. You know moving away from storing stuff under the saddle does not more options. 00:20:03 - 00:25:02 The drop opposed spoke essentially lot mud gods. Just, nodding your hands in their way, you often get Plus. Lots more, snacks. Exactly, now let's move onto the big guy something I've never personally owned the full frame pack. So that's that's something that's occupying almost the entirety of the area and the main triangle of your frame. But as you alluded to earlier from kind of a weight distribution perspective, getting a lot of your geared down in that area is super important in terms of ride quality. So can you talk about full frame packs and how you see them being used? Yeah. Full frame pack is is actually one of those packs a often people on. If. They end up using one and kind of take the plunge. It becomes when the favourite packs the me this is the kind of gear that you'd be thinking Abou- If you're doing a multiday right the the main advantage chairs that you're really maximizing all space in that triangle if you think about it autism bowl cage, pretty inefficient way of filling that kind of triangle shape if if given a triangle using two cylinders the best. Way To use it a lot. So completely filling that that frame shape with pack and then being able to carry water in there should way something like a bladder. Just pulled out you camelback still down low means that you get so much more storage device and you carrying on this to really close the bump bracket, which is gonNA mean you're handling it. Some isn't an impenetrable load and I noticed on your pack you've got to Zipper access points are actually a divider in there somehow Yay on on our pipe steroids, such a removable dividers. So depending on how you'll get up You can have that kind of shelf in that. It's something all us us used lower-half. Eva For yeah. For Water. Glad. Like I said, will temporarily the tools down this heavy spats. If it didn't along trip and you may be expanding that repack role kind of situations that repressed oats and ten polls and stuff then took it can quickly grow and having it can of low and stable down there a good spot for it, and then the shelf Bisi means that you have that that frame packed the Joe using on the top. So you can just use that achy normally. Would you also have? cable ports there. So if you are running a bladder, you can run a hose out if you're using it to store batteries to power lights or your GPS, then you can run cables in and out. Okay. So if you're if you're running a bladder, the the hose of the bladder can actually run interior until the top where there's a port to kind of it to come out. Yeah. That's that's quite right. So you know it's moving onto a pretty pretty full like packing up at this point that if you re looking to maximize the space blog than the full impact snakes where to go, I was playing around with a bladder in my quarter frame bag and it got stuck on kind of what to do with the tube as it was kind of dangling around and how to make that kind of you know most efficient and and safe. Frankly can you talk about how people deal with the tubes once they're coming out of those packs? Yeah. Yeah. It's. It's actually something that's really developing a lot. We didn't see even a couple of years ago. So often sing it more and more start lining racist now. At tends to be people using magnetic solutions to manage that cheap. So the quasi companies that will make it kind of hose management, kind of little clip that would normally on a rucksack with something like that and we seen people taping it to that Baas or using it. I'm for the straps of their other like packing setup settlers a mind on I, run a small clip through one of abstracts. Around, my stem holding a food pouch or something and then yeah, the hose just flips amount of grab it when I need, you see a lot of people will he'll use a era extensions really long already false ride search with the up was it allows them to just rest on their elbows drink power and along. Yeah. That makes sense now. Thanks for. Clarifying that a little bit I was kind of scratching my head and I knew there's Probably. Someone had a solution out there, but I eventually just gave up and. Put the put the cages back on. Yeah. Well, it's. Like. Backing you have to kind of adapt and overcome. You get these kind of strange problems. Come up you have to kind of think of it sideways. Yeah the yeah. So shifting back towards the back of the bike, we now have the the saddle pack and I remember my first proper bike packing saddle pack. It was I opening to me how much stuff you could get in there, and also how well these bikes can still ride fully loaded. So let's talk about the big saddle packs offer. 00:25:03 - 00:30:01 Yeah. Yeah. I mean the saddle pack Israeli the kind of the. Piece of packing luggage. Again. It's can workers any bill bikes Being held by having to a rackl nothing about the space that we'll saddle packs old away from five years up to seventeen leads depending on what kind of riding doing. And this space is really flexible the best advice is again to try and get the heavy stuff to bracket. So tools knows that settled pack bring it was the center. The bike is going to result in a more stable Jack I'm handling and then software up in there as also conform better. So I'll look at clothes. In the I'll have my kind of wash kit maybe in the nose and then potentially. Mother Lot clothing leads I might want to grapple whilst on the ride still easy to access this One phone clipped inside the road. It's not stuff that's necessarily locked away the whole world everybody. I had purchased one of these bags and then a buddy of mine at work had asked to borrow it. So I gave it to him and he gave it back to me at work one day and I had been in a routine of carrying everything on a backpack in a backpack. With my sort of. Ten Mile Commuter Fourteen Mile Commute into San Francisco, but I happen to have this bag at the office one day. So I shoved everything in it and it was like a light bulb went off and. Kicking myself for having this thing in the garage, most of the year and not using it for my commuting because it's it's I mean, it's very clear when you think about it but it was quite easy to to have a full set of spare clothing whatever I needed and just kind of roll the back down more tightly than I would sort of having a bike packing setup, but then I. had. All the convenience of having nothing on my back and having the bike ride well in the commute. So I you know after the quarter frame bag I highly recommend getting one of these saddlebags into your stable just because it can have utility much beyond you know a big back bike packing trip. Yeah. Yeah. You'll. You're exactly right that and generally with these pat stat adjustability is is a real bonus. Typically you can rollaway about half the capacity of the park. So no big biggest pack of some seventeen leaf is you can easily get rid of off that Vice and sin good compressive rolling and make it kind of flexible place stuff. Yeah I'm the the handling impact isn't isn't as great as you might imagine, you know the the bike is designed to have a lot of white in the saddle already. So just putting a little bit more behind that. Doesn't really affect it too much to. Especially if balance still allow just sets up with a few. around the bike. You can really have a very neutral handling. Still carry carry. The I really like what happened in your lineup because a lot of us might think of a saddle pack. That's where you have a spare tube and your repair kit etc, and it's it's quite small, and then we started to have this vision of a we've seen these bike packing bags but with your racing saddle pack, it's kind of the best of both worlds where it's got, you know certainly a lot more capacity than a basic tool bag it's got the rolltop functionality but. It's not this massive thing. So if you're looking for something to just pack like a puffy jacket on for a winter, ride the descent I think that racing south pack size looks super useful. Yeah. You're quite right again, the the racing series really came from a lot of a fast the kind of support friends who really you know really rolling away all the capacity even of our smaller packs while other series, they really wanted something smaller lighters they were using really minimal setups. So that's where the development came from but it's ended up being more useful for the rest of us even even derides in similar having just five Lee is behind the saddle really isn't going to impact you much until. It's really lightweight pack talks right out the way not gonNa have any impact on your peddling position up just like you said, you can. You can really increase the of the Kinda gave the occurring and be ready for for more things and take them challenging writes. Yes. If you're not jazzed perhaps on the visuals of how a quarter frame pack looks or maybe as you mentioned earlier, you're riding a small frame that would necessitate you not having bottles on the bike going with that kind of racing style rear repack I think is a super useful alternative. Absolutely and you know it's not. It's not one of the really massive ones. You've maybe seen on full packing. It's not going to hold you back in Sam's white or nothing like that. Yeah. Exactly and I have to say for for those you unfamiliar with APP Adora over to Adora Dot, com, and not only peruse the sort of various bags that they have to offer because I think it will again spark your imagination as to what's right for you. But check out the ambassadors page. 00:30:02 - 00:35:04 You may recall that I interviewed Jenny tough a few months back and she was talking about her use of the dirt bags on her all her expeditions including that. Spectacular. Story of the Atlas Mountain Race. Zero. You know for me I. Love. Geeking, out I may never do something like the Atlas Mountain Race but I love reading these stories and again, it will just shed light on how people are using these packs and how durable they are, and frankly how capable the bike you have in your garage is for this type of expedition. Yeah. Absolutely. You you just a couple of packs away from having the really ride ride anywhere and say that is embassador on our over friends. So important in developing the scare you know we designed pox here in London and it's it's not like we can kind of. Cross mountains in our lunch breaks contest out the function. So we really rely on the Community of friends embassador to be putting up protesting, and that means sending them to. All over the world where people are going to take on the next big challenge we really need all our fool it ends up on our website to. been doing multiple multi week trips to to make sure it's up to standard and an friends are absolutely crucial in that. Yeah. It's a Lotta Fun, is a couple other things. One thing that you guys came out with I, think just this year was that expedition down to pack and I think this falls in the category obviously of like if you've exhausted every other location, this is a neat way to carry things but I just thought it was cool that you've created kind of durable role sack that can essentially attach anywhere on the bike. Yeah. I mean, we didn't realize that could attach anywhere until people started doing it. And then it turns out that people have a lot better ideas than us. Yet this is this kind of came around in response to what we've been doing for while anyway that that space onto the bump brock is a great space to carry something heavy. You don't need very often been strapping. A stove or an extra wool, a bottle using duct tape and. Wire and stuff to make another bowl catch down there for a number of years. So the jumps don't you make some things specific. There was some was really good. It means you can get that kind of. The benefit of having a third wall cage down that what you look box now coming with a on any bike, and you can use that space something that isn't just won't This is a perfect spot. Kind of mole will see toolkit for for an expedition or long ride and it gets it right out the way. Olek areas fully Walker's expedition series I will accept packing get on the market. So even though into the spot where it's GonNa have a pretty hard time with elements everything that's going to be driving you. Yet I think the thoughtful part of the design here is that the cylinder shape is edited down. So it's not going to become to Bulbous to affect you know pedaling with your cranks or get in the way retire there, and that's that's important. You know obviously, there's a lot of great hacky ways of attaching things to your bike, and certainly if you're unable to to purchase any of these things hack away, that's the beauty of gravel and the beauty of adventure cycling but. When you do work with a company that sort of thoughtful in sort of the proportions you do get these really nifty pieces. Yeah. I thought I'd got away from. Boston bracket dramas when I left pikes behind where we get open all the spreadsheets and trump will bracket tops down to make sure that the pack wouldn't get in the way of anyone. Anyone's cranks will ever come a south they were. Using so yeah. Different types. But yeah, we were there get I'm sure the other funny thing we were talking about offline line that you you had shared with me. We talked about how you know when you're gearing up for your bike packing expedition particularly sort of in my case when I've only done a handful of these, I pack everything very precisely and I try to Max out every nook and cranny of my bag capacity. But then at the end of the day I roll up to talk correa and I wanna get a Burrito and a coke and I've got absolutely nowhere to hold it what what would have you guys done to solve that problem Yet yet you describe the problem exactly and it's one. It's one the we had on the better. We got a packing on gear the worse it came we were always telling people to pack seems best base just for this This year, we decided to actually try to design some packs would with allow people to to solve this problem. So yet palpable series of a Mazzetti backpack up is designed for this that Suka palpable miniature packs. You can have one scrunched up in Jersey pocket or in any other space in your bike got straps attached to any spat hog frame and then when you get. Yeah and when you want that big feet up or you can get food and take take it to the campsite. 00:35:04 - 00:40:03 All you know you decide maybe a trip is. For it might be in the beginning maybe a couple of days in that's going to be will be involved in. You've maybe planned to the beginning. You've got extra buy stuff yet to pick up supplies souvenirs anything fancy really, and then when you've eaten drunk fill, you can pack it down to get get out the way your reminds me of the kind of reusable grocery bags that we have in the US that sorta down to less than the size of your fist. It's a similar material I imagine to that but just kind of formulated in a in A. A backpack style so you can carry it easily on the bike. Yeah Yeah, they would definitely an influence. The key one of these is that we were on make more to prove all is proved. So we spent a lot time trying to work out how we can make them fully waterproof and then adapting the fit and size. So they would actually work when you're on the bike. So this this mole structure to the to the shoulder straps to be used to Kinda grocery bags. It's a bit more comfortable carrying. Along the way yeah it's nice. I mean I. Think as an industry kind of moved away from big. Backpacks carrying heavy gear because we've all experienced, how awful that can be to your posterior and your back and say like with all these great bags, you've moved it onto the bike. But certainly, for trip to the grocery store, a six pack of beer and some Burritos, it's great to kind of just be able to throw something that you can safely ride after a long day. Oh definitely. You know we've we've had people send US messages that really enjoying these packs toting coming from kind of a bike packing background. It's all that this little package strapped with about cage or like I said maybe in the Jersey Oak and at the end of a appeal to our road drive with friends like Pasta bursary store not take stuff home robin the. Plastic carrier bag hanging from the draw swinging dangerously to spokes you make your way home exactly now, I think you know I think that's a common thread in our conversation just this idea like once you get one of these bags whatever it is and who's ever at from it really Oh, just opens up a world of possibilities because they're so versatile and the bikes are capable of carrying so much when you need them to. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely and people shouldn't be afraid to go dry stuff out Lots of cool developments of happened in cycling in general grabble most specifically have been when people have kind of left those rules will Rhode Ride ten years ago behind embraced wider ties, smaller wheels likes the can do more things. And I think you know using PACs boxes is part of that. Some people might not like the way. It looks once you've got one of these smaller talk she paco the small frame Paco small saddle pack on there you'd find it so useful. And it's really liberating allowed to do so much more we go riding. That's funny. Match the look of it, and maybe this is sort of something you experience in spades we in the UK in just in terms of the road culture and the aesthetic that's been pushed down our throat for the last thirty years. It is hard to make that shift away from it but to your point once you do. In my case, I was happy to take the flak from my Rhody Buddies because I knew that I had so much more comfort with me in terms of an extra jacket or what have you on my bike? Yeah Yeah you're absolutely right and the unite if fosters your thing then Yeah I a challenge you ticket a jail Lava Jersey pocket as quick as you can get out of the top G. Pack where it's right in front of you and you can still be have your hands in the right list. So true. So true. George I appreciate you geeking out with me on the bags and just kind of giving the listener rundown of all the different things that are possible these days. I'm I'm always super excited to talk bags and I always encourage everybody to just take a look at what's out there and sort of put it on your longer term wishlist because it can be really game changing for your Gravel Comfort. Yeah Yeah yeah absolutely. Great Song to you as well and yeah I mean the main thing here is I, have spoken about you can. Pull it any of your list bugs as well.

So you know with the right combination of Fox from wherever they decide to get them they can. They can have a block that could take a two days weeks months whatever they WANNA do right on. Thanks George. Big thanks George for joining the podcast this week. I, hope you took a lot away from that conversation definitely check out their website to understand everything we've been talking about because I know it can be a little bit hard to visualize how some of these different bags attached to your bike and what they look like but suffice it to say you can find any and every combination of bags you need for just enhancing your daily rides your winter rides, we have to carry a little bit of extra gear to those huge bike packing expeditions. 00:40:04 - 00:40:45 It is all possible with the bike you have I love how?

Stop Questioning Yourself Good questions are so unbelievably useful when coaching my clients, but the questions you start asking yourself when you are holding yourself back,  ARE NOT the questions we need in our life. When we are growing, shifting and working through our limiting beliefs, breaking through our barriers and leveling up as women, our analytical mind comes into play.  Over the past month I have felt the need to show up in so many new ways. I've expressed elements of myself that I thought were better left under lock and key,  and I've allowed my true authentic self to emerge to the surface. I have done so much work on breaking down my old identities, behaviours and habits, and in doing so, I've brought a new light of trust within me that I keep pushing through.  During this process our minds tell us that it's not safe to take this new, next step; that people will be judging us, that people will laugh at us, that people will no longer love us if we start showing up the way we want to. However, it is completely up to us to catch the limiting beliefs, questions and queries, and challenge the HELL out of them! At the moment, you might hear your analytical mind jumping in to question these big moves, massive decisions and new epic thoughts you are having. It may be doubting your abilities, questioning why you've decided to do this when you are definitely NOT ready, wanting to tell you that it's better to stay EXACTLY where you are - ultimately stopping you from taking that next incredible leap in your life. The good thing to know is that our true authentic self is always within, and if we sort through the BS of the inner critic, the analytical mind, we start hearing and re-connecting with what we truly want - that helps us break through and beyond any fear that we are facing. So how can we start to break down the analytic self and start tapping into that true authentic self? 1. Own your own truth!  Simple eh? However I see so many people using the ‘questioning' as self-sabotage. From around the age of 10 we learn to fit in and to try and be the same as everyone - just in case we're bullied or taunted. We learn not to speak our truth and to live in the shadows. Luckily, I see this changing in our society a little more now, but growing up we learned ways to push our true authentic self down, lock it away and forget about it.   Ow thigh, YOU have the right and the choice to own your truth. You have a choice and the right to stop questioning what you've always known. You have the permission to say no, to say I don't agree, to stand in your superpower. When we start coming from a place of pure alignment, the confidence follows us because we are not trying to be anyone but ourselves.  2. Release Your Mind  The questioning comes from a busy mind, an occupied mind and mind where you are not allowing space to flow and ease through your day.  Did you know that humans on average, can have anywhere from 12,000 to 60,000 negative thoughts per day? Pretty crazy, right? But here's the real kicker: According to neuroscience, the brain is not designed to create happiness. It's actually designed to survive, which is why we may have so many negative thoughts and constantly question our decisions. I know how it feels to be so stuck in your mind, that you can't even hear yourself breath. The words, the doubt and the chatter is so loud that you don't know what day it is. But it's time you got out of your head and into your belly.  Doing practices that really ground you and take you away from your head, such as journaling, meditation, concentrating on the breath, going for a walk, a run or a skip really allows us to ground from within. 3. Ask better serving questions Like I said at the start, questions can be really insightful, incredible and empowering. But these questions are not usually the questions that pop up when you wake up in the middle of the night!  Don't let these sorts of questions control you, and don't intentionally invite them in. These certain questions (am I good enough springs to mind) are usually played on a loop based habit so make sure you catch yourself and start asking better questions.  “Without questions, there is no learning” Questions need to serve us, and serve our life in a good way. Old Question : I'm never going to do this am I? Better Serving Question : How can I make sure I achieve this?  When we start asking better questions, we will start getting better results. We open our mind to the opportunities rather than the negatives.  So yes, I want you to stop questioning yourself in the wrong way,  and I want you to start using and being in control of powerful better serving questions.  Give it a go this week and see how you get on! 

In week two of Kingdom Culture, Ronnie digs into what Kingdom Culture means and how we are led by the Holy Spirit. As we check our motivations and tendencies we can see our beliefs, and as we check the fruit of our lives we can see the ways that we ARE or ARE NOT walking with the Spirit. Ronnie reminds us that when our view of God gets bigger, our burdens and anxieties get smaller.

Today's guest, Sally Fallon Morell, is best known as the author of Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats. This well-researched, thought-provoking guide to traditional foods contains a startling message: animal fats and cholesterol are not villains but vital factors in the diet, necessary for normal growth, proper function of the brain and nervous system, protection from disease and optimum energy levels. She's also the founding President of the Weston A. Price Foundation, a nonprofit, tax-exempt charity founded in 1999 to disseminate the research of nutrition pioneer Dr. Weston Price, whose studies of isolated nonindustrialized peoples established the parameters of human health and determined the optimum characteristics of human diets. The Foundation is dedicated to restoring nutrient-dense foods to the human diet through education, research and activism.

I HAVE PHASED OUT + ADDED ALMOST TEN PROGRAMS IN TWO YEARS. I hope that if you're an entrepreneur or you want to be, you learn A LOT from this episode. Today I am aggressively pulling back the curtain on the past years of my business and the transition to what it is in present time. This episode came from this idea that people see my biz now, where it is, and may not know where it came from. And that sometimes we need a reminder to not compare our first year of biz (or anything for that matter) with someone who is further ahead. Even more, to not copy what someone else is doing because they will likely change or even get rid of whatever you just copied. I have done this in the past and throughout my entrepreneurial journey. Thought “oh, so and so does this, and they're successful, so I should do that.” Now, I am not talking about copying verbatim, rather concepts and formatting. But still, I'd roll something out, thinking I'd be done, and then that person who I got the idea from, rolls out something new and better. It's just not a good plan fam. You're always behind, and you're not focused on you and yours - what your audience really needs from you. So, I'd like to share some of the programs and segments of programs that I've had through the last five years and why I no longer offer them. Even if you're not an entrepreneur there is likely a takeaway here for you on some level. I had the first four programs all the way into 2018. So the transition to the Annie Miller Concepts you see now didn't happen that long ago. And the transition I am talking about came out of really honing in who I was meant to serve and what that person truly needed from me. That would be my Ideal Client Avatar and I literally used my FREE PDF Ideal Client Avatar Creator to clearly define my dream audience. Then promptly got rid of all programs that didn't serve that person. Which brings me to my first four programs that I no longer offer at Annie Miller Concepts: 20 day challenge 6 week transformation Pull up guide Macro + nutrition breakdown Starting with the 20 day challenge -  This was my first ever offer and I straight up made it while I was still in college and I saw Emily Schromm doing her 21 day challenges. It was appealing. $21, 21 days and you basically give people the basics. It's a kick start. Mine was nowhere near hers. But it was valuable AF. I made videos for 20 days and posted a new one everyday in the Facebook group. They received recipes, workouts and handouts. It really was a shit load of value and mine was $20 for 20 days. It worked too - people lost weight and inches. I got testimonials, and people always joined. But there was so much wrong with this. I was attracting people who were not actually my ideal clients. The offer didn't make any sense for where I wanted to go and who I wanted to work with. I loved writing weight lifting programs. People who are looking for a 20 day kickstart ARE NOT looking for a legit weight lifting program…Not a great start to my offer pyramid or offer suite.It was $20 and I had like 300 followers on Instagram and 47 people on my mailing list…I also paid for Facebook ads that did absolutely nothing for me because I had no idea what I was doing. I am on team organic growth and sales until you're established. Then enter into paid advertising when you can hire an expert to do it for you. That's my personal take, you can have yours.Do the math - $20 and a small audience is not how you make a sustainable income online or in person. And I did a challenge every quarter. The most I ever had was 52 people I think. Thats $1,040 folks…Mind you, it was not easy to run these challenges either. You heard me list off what was included! Videos, daily workouts, emails, facebook group, PDFs.And Lord knows barely any of that was automated. I was doing an ungodly amount of work for barely any money. NOT A GOOD BUSINESS MODEL. So,

Hello Misfit Nation! Welcome to another edition of "Lessons for Hannah!" In November of 2016, we introduced a new format that we are putting alongside our regular episodes called “Lessons for Hannah.” Hannah is my daughter and one of the main inspirations for the Misfit Entrepreneur. I wanted to have a place where she could go and learn from her daddy and his Misfit friends throughout her life….even after I am gone. If you haven’t listened to the first episode of "Lessons for Hannah," I urge you to as it gives some more background and tells the amazing story of how Hannah came to be in our lives. "Lessons for Hannah" are short, very useful, and sometimes comical lessons, that I have learned which I want to share with you and give to Hannah to help in your lives. Because I want Hannah to have these for her life, I’m going to speak as though I am talking directly to her. These episodes are a lot of fun and if you think there is a lesson that we should include in these episodes, please don’t hesitate to send it over to us at support@misfitentrepreneur.com. We’d love to share it. This week’s Lesson for Hannah Hannah, ​ I want to talk to you about 5 very important financial lessons that I wish I learned earlier in life. I’ve done my best and will continue to do my best to teach these and others to you as you grow, but I wanted to put them all in one place for you in this episode. Your financial education is probably the most important piece of your learning journey. Understanding the language of finance and how taxes, income structures, debt, and how a host of other financial areas work is something that most people never put much time into. This may be because our school system doesn’t really teach these things, unless as an elective or unless you make your career in finance. But, even then, much of the financial education required to thrive in the real world is not taught. There is so much I can share with you about financial education that I could spend months just doing episodes on it. Thankfully, I’ve got years to teach you, but here are 5 very key lessons that are at the heart of what you need to learn. #1. How You Make Money is Much More Important Than How Much Money You Make Most people just focus on “making more money” in their lives when, it is never how much you make, but how much you keep that matters. And because most people make their money as employees, there is not much they can do about this because they don’t have any control. A W2 is the highest taxed form of making money. And not only is it the highest taxed, but you must pay the government before you get any of your money. Let’s contrast that with being an owner of a business and deriving your income from that business. Now, there are a lot of different business structures that differ by country around the world, but as I teach you this, there a few predominant ones for small business owners in the U.S.. These are an LLC, closely held S-Corporation with 1 or 2 owners, and a partnership or limited partnership. These entities all have about the same tax benefits, but from a legal standpoint can be used in different ways. When you are an owner in one of these entities, the tax laws favor you. First, you don’t have to take all your income as a W2 type income. In fact, in the case of the S-corp, you take what is called a reasonable salary as a W2 and then the other income you earn from the profits of the business are taxed differently – effectively almost 15% less. More importantly, the business allows you to deduct expenses and items that you use for it. So, for example, if you are a W2 and you want to buy a computer for your work at home, you really can’t deduct that, or maybe only a small portion on your taxes. As a business owner, you can deduct the full amount. On top of that, you get paid first – not the government. For the profits your business earns through the year, you get to utilize that money as you see fit and then at the end of the year, you pay tax on the amount left after investing in and paying for your business. This allows you to have your money work for you instead of being taken every paycheck. I know this is a very simplistic example of the difference between a W2 vs. deriving income as an owner of a business, and there are actually many other benefits to creating income as a business owner- what I most want you to understand is that it is not how much you make, it’s how you make it that matters. If I make $100,000 from my business, I will take home a lot more than if I make $100,000 as a W2 employee. #2: The Super Wealthy Make their Money Predominantly Using 3 Mediums: Owning Businesses, Real Estate, Stock Market Following on our last example, if you study the Forbes 400 wealthiest that is listed each year, you will see they overwhelmingly make their money in either being a business owner, investing in real estate, or investing the stock market. Most do all three to some degree. As I got into my career, it dawned on me that if that’s how the super wealthy make their money, I might want to pay attention to it. I was already on the path of entrepreneurship, but It was then that I started to study real estate and the stock markets. And what I learned about these areas was shocking. There are so many opportunities and ways to create wealth. In real estate, you can purchase rental real estate, or buy tax lien certificates, invest in developer projects, flip houses, and host of other types of transactions. In the stock market, you don’t just have to buy a stock or mutual fund, you can use options or sell and write option contracts. You can do all kinds of different trades, including my favorite, selling naked puts and credit spreads, which pay you up front for even taking a risk with your money in the market, as well as put the odds of winning in your favor. Buying a stock or mutual fund gives you none of that. It literally pays to learn about these different areas of finance and business, so learn all you can. #3: Rental Real Estate Offers the Best Tax Benefits Owning businesses and investing through tax advantaged business owner specific IRAs gives you some great tax advantages and leverage, but unless you have an army of lawyers to pour through the tax code each year and find every little thing you can do to maximize your wealth, the best tax advantages I’ve found are in rental real estate. Real estate has incredible advantages as long as you are willing look at things long term and are willing to hold. That doesn’t mean you don’t get a benefit in the short term in creating cashflow from rents, it just means that the biggest benefits come over time. For example, rental real estate allows you to deduct an expense each year called “depreciation.” Basically, what it means is that you can deduct 1/27 of the value of your property each year for 27 years. Now, why does this matter, first, it is an expense you get to take without actually paying money from your pocket. You are essentially taking a deduction for your property getting older each year. This will then act like an expense against your rental income alongside your mortgage (if you have one), taxes, other expenses, etc. And like a business you get paid first and take deductions and expenses before you pay the government. Depreciation is almost like phantom income as it allows you to keep more of your rent tax free. Now, there are rules that when you go to sell a property, depreciation comes back to be taxed as part of your profits, but even then there are things like carryover than can go against it and one of the biggest tax benefits of real estate, the 1031 exchange. 1031 is an area of the tax code that basically says, if you sell a property and take the proceeds and invest them into a new property of greater value, the proceeds or profits can roll into that property tax free. In fact, many investors just keep using the 1031 laws to roll their gains over and over into new and larger properties over time. Now, why does the government allow this with rental real estate? Because people need a place to live and the government incentivizes investors to help make that a possibility. Again, these are simplistic examples and there are a ton of other tax advantages to real estate, but these two alone make it one of the best investments out there. #4: 401k’s Are Not as Good of an Investment as You Think If you are a W2 employee, you pretty much have no other choice but to invest in a $401k for retirement and when the market is good, then your 401k is good, but have you ever looked at how broker fees and expense ratios eat away at your profits over time? Tony Robbins did a great job exposing this in his book, “Money, Master the Game.” A good read for those wanting to improve their financial education. But, did you know as a business owner, you have a lot more options. You could do what’s called a Solo 401k in which you can choose the investment choices, lowering the fees, and put over $50k per year away tax free? Or you can do a Simple or SEP IRA that allow you to have total control over how you invest and what you invest in including things like real estate or physical gold. And these IRA’s allow you to invest 10’s of thousands as well each year. What I want you to understand is that when it comes to your retirement, there are much better ways to save and grow your money than a 401k, but you need to be a business owner to use them. #5: Keep Your Cash Working for You, Otherwise, It’s Basically Worthless We’ve all heard the phrase “Cash is king,” and while yes, in rough times, cash can be very useful in a number of ways, the realty though, is that if you are not putting your cash to work for you, it is losing its value every day. It’s called time value of money and every day; money is worth less than it was the day before if it is not generating enough to keep up with inflation. In fact, since 1913, the dollar has lost 96% of its value. That’s right one dollar in today’s dollars is worth $.04 priced in 1913’s dollars. So, if you are stashing a ton of money in the bank at effectively 0% interest, each day it loses some of its value. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t hold some cash. I advocate having a “rainy day fund” that you don’t touch unless for emergencies that is at least 6 months’ living expenses, preferably one year if you can do it. But, once you have your rainy-day fund in place, you should look to put your money to work for you. And you must be diligent about it. I’ve shared a number of concepts in this episode, but each one of them takes knowledge, skill, and good judgment to execute successfully. Just because you have been able to make and save some money, doesn’t mean you can’t lose it. And there are always those out there looking to separate you from your money – so make sure you keep up on your financial education. Hannah, If I had learned these lessons even one year earlier in my life, they would have made an even bigger difference for me than they already have. It’s important that you commit to your financial education and learn all you can starting as young as possible. The lessons you learn, whether you use them immediately, or at all, will still prove to be invaluable for you and help you throughout your life. And I’ll be there to help you and teach you as your grow. I love you, ​ Daddy   Best Quote: Most people just focus on “making more money” in their lives, when, it is never how much you make, but how much you keep that matters.   Misfit 3: Your financial education is probably the most important piece of your learning journey. If you study the Forbes 400 wealthiest that is listed each year, you will see they overwhelmingly make their money in either being a business owner, investing in real estate, or investing the stock market. Resolve to financially educate yourself starting today. It literally "pays" to do so.   Show Sponsors: 5 Minute Journal: www.MisfitEntrepreneur.com/Journal
