I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.All right, Be It babe, hello. How are you? Happy Friday. So this is where I share a little bit of inspo that I got from the internet, a little bit of inspo from you, and a little bit of inspo from me, and then a little mantra. It's the Fuck Yeah Friday. If you're new to our podcast, this is our short episode. It's really a lot of fun. You never know what you're gonna get. But also, I might share one of your wins, so send them in. Literally, send your wins in. Please, come on. It's so much fun. So this inspired me when I was on Instagram, and it comes from librarian.vibes, and it says, librarians create fake library card to save thousands of books. I know. Isn't this amazing? So this librarian said there's nothing more sacred to a librarian than a library card. But when a town in Florida decided to burn all the books that hadn't been taken out in a while, local librarians made a fake card for one Chuck Finley, Chuck, who doesn't exist, checked out 2,361 books to keep them from being Fahrenheit 451.So I truly love this. I love a little bit of resistance to like things that just aren't making any sense. And so may I just suggest that if you are afraid of amazing books being banned or not being able like one of the ways you can do it. I saw this other girl on Instagram every month just going and buying some of the books on the banned list, just going and buying them while they're still around where she's at, so that they stay in existence, right? So this inspired me, very inspired by it. So anyways, I hope that inspires you. Isn't that kind of cool? 2,361 books don't get burned because Chuck Finley doesn't exist. Check them out. Love that. Love that for them. Okay, so your wins that came through, honestly, I've spent a lot of time with my eLevators, so I'm gonna share some of theirs. So this one is from Lisa Osoteo, dear eLevator family, I'm so excited to introduce to you Esme, my Wunda chair, short for Esmeralda, in honor of her beautiful grotto, teal green color and Violet, my sumptuous Spine Corrector. I chose the colors sight unseen, just computer swatches, and when I got Violet, she lived up to her name, though, truth be told, she also gives off a Barney and Grimace vibe. So despite her proper sounding given name, she's also Biolet Barney Grimace or VBG. If she's wanting to be posh, she'll also answer to Violet Bader Ginsburg, her name when she helps me inhabit a spine of steel. I did my first chair workout yesterday on Esme, and she kicked my butt. I haven't yet to be broken in by VBG. This dynamic duo put me through my paces. Kidding aside, I'm celebrating that. One, eLevators taught me the value of a personal practice. And two, that my practice warrants investing in my own classical Pilates equipment. And three, that I have the knowledge to know which equipment I need to support an essential home practice. And finally, four, that I have this community who share Pilates equipment birth announcements. It's a thing, Esme and Violet. February 4th 2025 I mean, so fun. I wish I could post you the picture. It's just adorable and amazing, and the colors are beautiful. And now I need to get my own violet version of something for my studio. I have a grotto, and it is stunning. It is a color is worth repeating. So thank you, Lisa, for letting us celebrate the births of Esme and VBG. This next one is Christine Ivy, and she is one of my new eLevators, and she wrote. I videotaped myself doing the mat so I could watch and see where I am in my practice, especially in terms of stable shoulder girdle connection and back extension. It was really helpful to see evidence of where I am and what I need to work on, humbling and helpful. And I wanted to share that with you guys as a win, because here's the deal, my loves. We've all heard feelings are not facts, you know what I mean? Like, like feelings are not facts. And in our bodies, it's really easy for us to feel like we are in extension when really we're just like a PEZ dispenser with our neck, or feel like we're tall when really we're leaning forward. So I don't like mirrors in a studio, although obviously they have to exist in a little bit. But I don't love people just looking at themselves all the time. I kind of like people moving their bodies and then film something. And so at OPC, we actually let our members film themselves doing an exercise or two and send them in. And I can give feedback, because it may be that they just need to move their feet a little bit further to the right, or they need to actually reach down through their heels more, like sometimes, just need someone else's eyes to tell you what you're feeling, yes, but also here it is, and then you can find it better, and you can find it faster. And I just love that we do that. So thanks, Christine, for sharing that win because it's not easy to look at yourself and go, okay, oh, I see, I feel like I'm doing like this, but really, I'm cheating myself out of this. So thanks for sharing that. I can't wait to see how your practice continues to grow inside of eLevate. All right, a win of mine. So you guys, I gotta be honest, I think I've shared this part of this as a win earlier this year, but here we are in April, and this is about a year ago when, like, my lashes grew in and I could, like, finally doing it with them, but I am sharing that I have truly, absolutely loved, having fun getting to do a self-care routine that is for my face. When I had fake lashes, you can't really wash your face, you can't rub your eyes. You couldn't do that right? And so I'm obsessed with washing my face and then putting this moisturizing rinse on my eyes in the shower and gua sha-ing my skin. And I actually have learned how to gua sha with just my fingers as well, because there's ways you can do that for your lymphatic drainage. I know you're like how is this a win? It is a win because one, I absolutely love doing my makeup. I think it's really a lot of fun. I don't go off to go do my makeup. I also go out without my makeup all the time, but I am actually having so much fun getting to know myself and my look and who I am. But more importantly is the removal of the makeup and having access to my whole face and then the self care that I can do. And if you're like, wow, she's really indulging herself. Yes, I am, and I hope it inspires you, because, my goodness, we all need to be a little more indulgent about how our bodies feel. And I say this, my mean, like massaging my face. Because, my goodness, if you we talked about this with Ashley Black, the fascia person you know, spending 20 minutes like fascia-blasting your body, what that does for you. And so here I am in April, truly loving all the things I can do for myself. And I, you know, some of us like, oh, I gotta go gua sha. I've gotta go wash my face. Gotta go brush my teeth. Honestly, there's something so rewarding about cherishing all the things that I do as a nighttime routine, not only do they help me sleep, but also they really do make me feel good inside and out. So I hope that this win of me having a habit of gua sha-ing my face and loving taking my makeup off gives you some inspiration on like where you can have some gratitude, and also where you can be a little more indulgent, right? All right, a mantra for you. Here we go. We gotta leave you with something to think about. Now is the time. Now is the time. My loves, whatever you're thinking about doing, and when am I gonna do it? Now is the time. Here's your sign. Thank you so much for letting me share all this stuff with you. It's really a lot of fun to do solo episodes, celebrating your wins, celebrating something in my life, celebrating something that was pretty cool, that someone did. And a mantra, if you have any wins you want me to share, please send them in, because you might need to hear them today. Wouldn't it be amazing if you were having a rough day and then you heard about something you did for yourself? Bet you it would change your day. All right, loves, you know what to do.

On the podcast, I talk with Ashley about what makes Google App campaigns a powerful growth tool, proven optimization strategies, and how lower CPMs aren't always the win they seem to be.Top Takeaways:

A crooked self-help wellness guru named Ashley Black sold a skin-detaching anti-cellulite device to millions of woman since 2014. When thousands of her former-customers joined a watchdog group that claimed her device detached their skin from the underlying muscle, Black did what successful bullies always do--she went on the attack. Black sued her former customers alleging that their truthful Facebook posts were defamation and undermined her bottom line. She lost every case--all the way to the Texas supreme court. Now Ashley Black has fled to a mansion in Costa Rica and has raised millions of dollars in a crowdfunding campaign that looks as unlikely to be real as everything else Black has done in her career.

So I firmly believe it is absolutely imperative that you actually take time for you every day so that you can give so generously. I think it's the greatest form of generosity to others is to take care of you. Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap, where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the liberating convo I had with Whitney Prude in our last episode. If you haven't yet  listened to that interview, feel free to pause this now go back and listen that one, and then come back and join us. You guys, today is September 5th and it is National Cellulite Day. It's also a few other things. It could also be National Be Late Day. It's also International Charity Day. But we had an episode that goes with this, so I thought it would be really fun to talk about it. So history of National Cellulite Day. Let us tell you a fact, if you're a female and you're reading this, chances are you have cellulite. And you know what? There's nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about cellulite, which can range from minor lumps to deep grooves, affects more than half the women you know. The goal of National Cellulite Day is to increase awareness about the fact that cellulite is natural and part of your beauty. If you're still unsure what cellulite is, here's a quick rundown: Cellulite is a completely harmless and a very very (we can't emphasize this enough) common skin condition that causes lumpy, dimple flesh on our body. So it is more common in women, and can appear on the thighs, hips, abdomen and almost anywhere. So it is also caused by a buildup of fat beneath the skin. The amount of cellulite where it appears can differ from person to person. However, it's important to understand that cellulite can affect anyone, and some women are more prone than others. It can be determined by your genes, body fat percentage and age. We could go on, but I actually want you to go listen to episode 337, with Ashley Black, about the FasciaBlaster. She's incredible, actual peer-reviewed research and studies on. Brad Crowell 2:31  She created the FasciaBlaster.Lesley Logan 2:32  Yes, she did, and she explains what her research has found about cellulite. And so if you are wanting to work with yours you can, because she's got some tools for that. So go listen to episode 337, and also just love your body along the way, right? I also just want to quote Jake Grimes would say, do Pilates because you love your body, not because you hate it. So if there are things you're wanting to do about the cellulite that you have do it because you love your body and not because you hate it. I think it can kind of all go in there. It's all part of the self-care. All right, we are quite busy. We're actually home for a bit, maybe, maybe. But I first as of right now when we're recording this, we are definitely home. And so at this moment, there's quite possibly might be some space in the 2024 eLevate. We've got some really fun stuff we're cooking up for the round five.Brad Crowell 3:22  2025. Lesley Logan 3:23  Oh yeah, that's what your, next year it is, right? So 2025, there's no room in 2024, it's over. It ended. So if you are a Pilates instructor looking to dive in deeper into what you have learned and what you love, and learn what my teacher, Jay, and the teachers I've been so blessed to learn from taught me to really help elevate your practice, your teaching, your connection, the method, go to lesleylogan.co/elevate.Brad Crowell 3:48  Yeah. And then next year, February, come join us in Cambodia. We are taking a retreat the end of the month, and you can find out all the details at crowsnestretreats.com as you know, it's one of our favorite things to do, one of my favorite places to be.Lesley Logan 4:03  You guys, we do Pilates. We have five classes of Pilates. One of the eLevate girls told another eLevate girl here at the house, she's like, oh, I'm gonna be at the retreat. And she's like, oh, your practice is gonna change. It's insane. In just five classes, it just changes. So that's really fun. Also, on this February retreat, we have OPC members. We have some Be It Pod listeners, we have some eLevate members. There's some epic women who are signed up and I think someone signed.Brad Crowell 4:25  A lot of people coming as groups, coming as buddies. So traveling together, coming together, so it makes it a lot of fun to do that. So do that too. Lesley Logan 4:34  Yeah, y'all can try out onlinepilatesclasses.com, so if you're like, oh, what's an OPC member? Well, that is what it is, onlinepilatesclasses.com. It is our on-demand Pilates classes. However, there is accountability, and there's community, and there's ability to get feedback on your form so you know you're doing it right. And this is you can do in addition to all the other things that you're doing, because Pilates really does make what you're doing better. So go to opc.me/40 to try us out for 40 days.Brad Crowell 5:02  Yeah, check that out. And I am hosting another webinar coming up for fitness business owners, mostly Pilates, because that's most of you, and it's free, and it's called the Pilates studio growth accelerator. So if you're feeling stuck with money in your business, whether you have one client and you're just getting started, or you have an entire team of teachers and you've got a studio that's been running for a long time, if you're feeling stuck with money, we're going to cover the three biggest secrets that we have seen after coaching more than 2000 businesses have come through Prfitable Pilates, and I want you to come join me. Go to prfit.biz/accelerator. That's profit without the O dot biz slash accelerator to sign up and join me. Lesley Logan 5:49  All right, before we get into Whitney's amazing episode. Who is our question from this week? Brad Crowell 5:54  Okay, we've got @tborgabor, tiborgabor6854 says, "Can you make a workout with a beach ball?"Lesley Logan 6:04  Yeah so this is really funny. We shared that we actually had a OPC workout with a squishy ball. And the class is called all beach, all ball, no beach, something like that. And so so meone's like, what can we do with a beach ball? And the truth is, I thought about it, and I was like, okay, can you do the beach ball? There's so many reasons why I wouldn't use a beach ball, and that is, one, they come in variety of sizes, if I recall. But also they are a little hard to like grip, and if we make it squishier, then I'm almost afraid that it won't have the sturdiness that the fitness balls have. Brad Crowell 6:39  When you say squishy, you mean let some air out. Lesley Logan 6:41  You let some air out. You let a little air out. You want to want to work with a deflated ball when you're doing Pilates. You don't want it to be perfectly taught. Then that way you can actually rest against it. It creates a little instability. So the beach ball is one bigger than what a fitness squishy ball is that I would use for Pilates. So it's already just like the wrong size. It's going to make most people's legs too wide. If they put it between their ankles, it's going to prop you up too much if behind your shoulders, it's going to lift your hips up in a way that I don't like. So yes, you could, but is that the best thing we could do? Like, when I think about a prop, you don't just use a prop to make things entertaining. You use a prop as a tool. That's how Joseph Pilates use props. It's like an accessory to an outfit, right? It's like, oh, this would make this better for you. This would actually put it all together. Brad Crowell 7:26  Yeah, I think the squishiness of the secret for it, because with a beach ball, it doesn't have that give, it actually isn't squishy. And I'm not saying squishy deflated. You're supposed to deflate both. The beach ball doesn't have squishiness to it. So you just be putting it between your legs, like a block, you know. And as opposed to the workout ball, where there's give, and that creates that instability, like you're talking about,Lesley Logan 7:52  Yeah. And then the other last thing I just want to say, is, like, the only place you probably have a beach ball, aside from storage in your garage is at the beach, and Pilates on the sand is one of the most annoying things you'll ever do, because you are rolling around. You're kicking sand into your hair. You do a single-leg circle, you're whipping sand into your eyes, like we did this in Hawaii when we were doing our retreat. Our retreat was on grass, which also gorgeous in photos, but fucking flies, guys, there's bugs that fly around grass all the time. So we went down to the beach. Be like, oh, let's, like, do some mat work on the beach for photos, how fun. I had more sand in my hair than if I went into the water. So for all those reasons, it's a no for me, but you can take a ball workout from me on YouTube, and also, if you really like it. Rachel Piper, who's an OPC teacher for us, she uses a ball a lot in the workouts as a tool to help you connect more to the exercises. So hopefully that helps you. And if you want to nerd more about like, why would I use a prop? And what do you mean by entertaining? It's what we talk about in eLevate. All right.Brad Crowell 8:57  If you have a question for us and you want to ask it, feel free to text us at 310-905-5534, or hit us up on the gram or anywhere, and stick around. We'll be right back, because we're going to talk about Whitney Prude. All right, so now let's talk about Whitney Prude. Okay. Whitney Prude is a Board Certified Clinical Pharmacist, certified health and wellness coach and certified nutrition coach with an extensive experience working at the renowned Mayo Clinic, she specializes in helping others transform and prioritize their health through personalized coaching and comprehensive wellness programs. Drawing from her personal experience of overcoming an autoimmune disease, Whitney empowers her clients to achieve lasting physical and emotional well-being. This was a really interesting interview to me. I was trying to understand where she was going with like, how she got into what she was doing. At the beginning, she was really talking about overworking, overworking, overworking. And I was trying to understand, how did that end up putting her in this place where she is today? And. So it's a fascinating story. Lesley Logan 10:01  Yeah, I think, like, what I like about her story is that here she is, she had a dream, she worked really hard, she got there, and then she kind of, her health, she sacrificed so much to get there that she didn't get to even enjoy it. And it had to lead her down another road where she is now, which I think, like, let's not take anyone's rock bottoms away. Like, obviously she loves what she's doing, and she wouldn't be doing this had this not happened. But also, there's a lot of people who can benefit from listening to this, so they don't lose out on the dream that they had to be a pharmacist at the Mayo Clinic, incredible, and could have been a wonderful life, but because she sacrificed so much of herself. She had to learn a pivot, and now she's helping people so maybe they don't have to do that. So that leads me into, of course, one of the things I love about her being on is, like she said, women often put ourselves last and leads to neglecting self-care. I literally have to remind people every single day, and then I get excuses in my DMs all the time, like, oh, Lesley, it must be nice for you, or it's really hard. I have all these kids, and it's like, I get that, but there are people in your lives, I hope. Unless you are someone who has lost everyone and it's you and these kids, and you live somewhere rural and you're by yourself, okay, maybe you know, and yet, there's still going to be options. There's still options. There's still five minutes you can take for your day. 30 minutes is less than 2% so that's, of course, why I was attracted to having her on. She said, if you're taking care of everybody else and you're a yes woman, and you're saying yes to everybody else and you don't have time for yourself, it's an indicator you're doing too much. Brad Crowell 11:38  An indicator. Lesley Logan 11:39  It's an indicator you're doing too much. So if you, if you are saying, I don't have time for me, it's an indicator you are doing too much, right there. That is the biggest red flag I can give you. And she said, "You have to start switching your priorities and emphasize the importance of putting yourself at the top of your priority list." So there is that thing where it's like, hey, if I asked you what your top priorities are and you list them out, are you on them? Most people don't put themselves up there. And I'm not even to say most of them. I'm gonna say most people. Most people don't put themselves at the top. So I think it's really, really important, because you cannot show up effectively for others if you are not taking care of yourself.Brad Crowell 12:15  Yeah, that I was gonna say. I don't think most people have been raised that way to put themselves in the priority list. I certainly wasn't service first. You know, she had a lot of mentions about being raised in a church or a religious home, and that's like, you're always last 100% definitely, my childhood was you take care of other people. You serve other people before you serve yourself. And then ultimately, the question is, if you ever even have the time or chance to serve yourself, because you don't, you know.Lesley Logan 12:46  Yeah. And as a verse that comes to mind, I'm not gonna even quote it, but like, I think I shock people when I can quote a verse and it's like, the last will be first and the first will be last, or something like that. Anyways, I think that it is wrong to put everybody above you, because you ultimately will run out of energy, love, generosity, health, to take care of those people you so care about. So I firmly believe it is absolutely imperative that you actually take time for you every day, so that you can give so generously. I think it's the greatest form of generosity to others is to take care of you. And this goes for my people who are like, oh, but I'm taking care of my parents and I'm taking care of my kids, because I know we have a lot of listeners from that middle part. I hear you, I see you. Trust me. We vote every day to hope that people who take care of people in the home can get some sort of tax credit or some benefit or something like that. We don't have that right now. But what I am saying is like, you gotta ask for help where you can get it, or you gotta automate something. Gotta automate the grocery so that you can sit down and read a book and take it. It doesn't have to be going to a workout like paying for something. Anyways, I could keep going. Whitney obviously did. So I'm gonna let you go into what you like.Brad Crowell 13:55  Well, I really thought it was helpful where she was talking about the root of the cause. She was talking about unresolved health issues. They come often from unresolved, emotional past experiences, and that is not generally something that we associate health issues with. Most people think about like I got hurt or I ate something or it's genetic, right? And her argument is the emotional side of our mental well-being has an impact on our physical well-being. That is what she's saying. So our emotional needs and past experiences, if that, if we don't address those trauma that we might have had, or experiences that we've had that were negative, then it will impact the body over time. Stress, for example, she was talking about, impacts the body and. Lesley Logan 14:44  It's already scientifically proven that stress is the root cause of 99% of all illnesses, like just the stress on the body, because when you have high cortisol, when you stress your body, your body can no longer function as a whole. It has to deal with that thing. And so then what happens is, it's not focused on these other things. And listen to this amazing conversation with Mindy Pelz and this other doctor on foods that can actually prevent cancers. And so of course, he has to talk about, what is cancer? And he's like, it's amazing. We could focus on, how do I get this cancer? And his question is, like, how do you not have more cancer? Because cancer is actually so easy to develop, because our body is so good and going oop, that's a drug dealer. That's how you've referred to it, and pulling it away. But when you are constantly under stress, you are challenging your body and keeping it in a place where it cannot function in a healthy way to do those things. Brad Crowell 15:34  Very interesting. Lesley Logan 15:35  I'm super obsessed with just how our bodies function in a really, really healthy way.Brad Crowell 15:39  Yeah, well, Whitney was talking about feeling worthy, feeling that we are enough, feeling that we're loved. This stability, this mental stability, has a positive impact on your physical well-being. And so we often don't feel those things, and then we develop coping mechanisms, and those coping mechanisms lead to things like cancer over time, you know, starting or, you know, and whatever the, you know, it's like. Lesley Logan 16:09  You don't so you don't sleep, then you end up with illnesses, because it's a domino effect or if you under-eat, it's a domino effect. Brad Crowell 16:16  So, I was thinking about a good physical example, like is, if you've ever seen a dog who hurt his paw, right, they go around using three, and they effectively pretend they don't have a fourth, even though the fourth might be healed now they still don't use it. Right? And we might not cognitively be doing that with our foot or whatever. But there are parts of our body that our brain will just cut out, or stop routing things through, or nerves or all that kind of stuff, because it was not working or damaged or there was an issue. And then, you know, over time, when you're not getting blood flow and brain messages to different sections of your body, that's where problems begin. You know that's like the. Lesley Logan 17:01  Oh yeah. I mean, it's people who like another way of because it's so and the mental is so interesting. People don't want to think that their mental health has anything to do with things around their body. But another physical example, this is how your mental health works, is you sprain your ankle, so you walk a little funny while your ankle heals. So resting your ankle instead of putting a boot on, instead of figuring out why you sprained your ankle, you just walk a little funny and make an adjustment. That adjustment has a chain reaction. Now you're putting more pressure on the other knee, you're putting more pressure on the other hip, putting more pressure on the other waist of your back, and all of a sudden you have functional scoliosis. You now have a weak side and a strong side, and then you end up with more injuries, more aches and pains. I had a client who had a bad knee, refused to get surgery until it got worse. Finally had the knee replacement, and then needed to have surgery on the other knee because she'd overdone it. Brad Crowell 17:52  Yeah, I just want to wrap this up by saying Whitney said, "Nobody ever teaches us how to show up for ourselves so that we can meet our own needs and feel good enough for ourselves." And I think that she's right on the money that's not taught, and it's really important that we make an adjustment about how we prioritize ourselves. This is something that obviously, you've been talking about forever. It's come through on a lot of other podcasts, and a lot of the things that we the content that we put out there, prioritizing yourself, especially with OPC, and how OPC can help you do those kinds of things, but if we don't put ourselves in a position where we're being taken care of by ourselves, there's no way we can be operating at our best to take care of all the other people that we actually do want to take care of in our lives. So just switching that prioritization in your own mind is going to have a compounding effect in the world around you. Lesley Logan 18:44  Yeah, yeah. Brad Crowell 18:46  All right, stick around. We'll be right back. All right. Finally, let's talk about those, Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Whitney Prude? All right. She said, "If you want to reach a goal, take motivation and transition it from external to internal." So for example, I want to lose weight, that's external. So therefore I am going to show myself respect and love, so, internal. So she's saying, transition it from external to internal. I want to be first in the race. I believe I'm worthy to be first in the race, right? Get yourself to a point where you genuinely love yourself, and that was really I found this whole conversation so interesting because it's very introspective. It's very, well, putting yourself first, but also reflective, you know, trying to assess and analyze yourself and then take care of yourself and respect yourself. And I think it's amazing. Her program mostly starts with people who are interested in losing weight, right? And she said by the end of the program, the difference is the mindset, whether or not losing weight even matters. The person respects and loves themselves so differently than they did when they came in, that it actually helps with weight loss, because you're changing the focus, you're changing the focus. So. Lesley Logan 20:11  I think I really love that Be It Action Item, because I can work for anything. And the truth is extrinsic motivation is very fleeting. It's very, like, in the moment kind of thing, and it's a little more spontaneous. But intrinsic motivation, it helps you get out of bed on the hardest day. Intrinsic motivation helps you on those days where it's not easy to do the thing you want to do, whatever that thing is, because you care so deeply about yourself, or who it's for, what it's for, things like that. Brad Crowell 20:38  Yeah. What about you? Lesley Logan 20:40  She said, lean into the discomfort, which I freaking love, because this is like a Pilates thing. She explained that change requires discomfort, and that the body signals what needs to change through feelings of discomfort. Are you feeling uncomfortable? There's something wrong, like you're and you're sitting still in a chair and your body starts to hurt. It's because you need to stop sitting like that in the chair. Or stop sitting in that chair.Brad Crowell 20:59  Can we just make a clarification between discomfort and pain? What did Jay say all the time? Messy Pilates is okay?Lesley Logan 21:04  Oh, yeah, ugly Pilates, get used to it. Dangerous Pilates, never. Brad Crowell 21:07  Right. Lesley Logan 21:08  So that's just like, I love that. I fractured my knee 10 years ago. I fractured my tibial plateau, and when I was finally able to put weight back on it, I had a really hard time. And my trainer was like giving me some of the exercise I was doing before, and he'd hand me a weight, and I, there's intense fear, because I was uncomfortable, and I would go, oh, that hurts. And he said is it hard, or does it hurt? And to me, discomfort or difficult, our brains can ugly can put into the it's bad, but it's it's not necessarily bad. So you have to understand, like, what is uncomfortable versus danger. And so when you lean into discomfort that is where, like, that whole little meme of like, life happens outside your comfort zone, that means you're going to be in a discomfort zone. But there's a difference between being discomfort and discomfort versus danger. Brad Crowell 22:00  Yeah, I remember being at the gym and not listening to my body with my shoulder. It was, it was being weird. And I was like, no, I'm gonna just push through. I'm gonna do this thing. And I ended up having to be literally, I was out doing like, a specific exercise for months, because my, the way I not listen to my body. I was actually pushing through the pain, and it wasn't. It was past discomfort, right? And I knew it, but I was like, no, I'm gonna do this. I've got this anyway.Lesley Logan 22:28  So I say all pain no gain is, like, in the worst, like, worst thing, because it's teaching you not to listen to your body. You have to listen to your body, and that's hard if you've never done that before. So.Brad Crowell 22:38  But then, like, there's the stress that you're putting on your body to get stronger. That isn't painful. It just sucks. Right? That's the discomfort. That's being uncomfortable. That's like pushing. Lesley Logan 22:51  You shouldn't be so we're using workout a lot right here as an example. But I don't need you to be so sore you can't, you have to fall down onto your toilet every time you go to use it every single day. That's wrong. But if you are adding weight or adding a rep or adding a fitness routine, that is like, this is new. This is weird. I'm being challenged, but you're not in pain, then you're in a really good place, because you are challenging different parts of your body to work, your brain to work, you're putting yourself outside your comfort zone. And so she encourage you to plan time for yourself, put it on your calendar, non-negotiable, same time every day, and sit in it no matter how uncomfortable it is. She also assured it will get comfortable with consistency. And this is also true. There are certain exercises that were really hard for me to do and because they're uncomfortable, and I was like, oh, it's just a weird position to be in, I'm not really sure. And then over time, it became like a nice, comfy couch. It's like, oh, this feels, feels good to do, right? So you have to get through the discomfort before you can make progress towards change. If you want things to be different, they're going to have to be different. So there's that.

You guys, this person is a badass businesswoman who is, who like invested so much in something that she believed in. Then she and I had an amazing conversation off the record where she, because we're both, she actually is a Pilates instructor from trained before me and we were talking about different things where she had people wanted her to do magazine articles where she would do something and she's like I don't teach like that, so I'm not going to do it. So I just love her integrity. Love her character. Ashley Black, I love you. I can't wait to see you in Costa Rica, babe. You can teach me to surf even though I don't love seaweed touching my feet.

And Brad was like,Brad Crowell 2:43  I don't even know what a sock monkey is.Lesley Logan 2:45  So I don't know how you don't know what a sock monkey is because a sock monkey is kind of like a poor stuffed animal. Brad Crowell 2:52  Oh, I had one of these. Lesley Logan 2:53  Yeah, it's like when you're well I think a lot of stores  Brad Crowell 2:56  But I might have a little, the little red pompom on the top. Lesley Logan 2:58  Yeah, so I think a lot of stores will sell them overpriced but the theory isBrad Crowell 3:03  Mine was like beans inside or something. Lesley Logan 3:05  You like make your own. If you shout like raise your hand if you're listening to this and you're like oh, I made my own. I also made my own pet rock. I also did not ever get Kraft Mac And Cheese I got the knockoff version with knockoff hotdogs in it it was called protein guys.Brad Crowell 3:21  Knockoff hotdogs. You didn't even have hotdogs?Lesley Logan 3:24  Well, like the, not the store brand. Not the store brand. I didn't, no one bought me a sock monkey I had to make my own sock monkey.  Brad Crowell 3:31  Yeah, I feel like I feel like mine was an heirloom I think that was like my grandfather's or something my great grandfather's and it was like in the family. Like my mom was really protective over Lesley Logan 3:42  You know, I think it's probably one of those boxes that you're supposed to go through while you're home. So I'm not sitting there in that situation.

Lastly, so where do they go for the (inaudible)? Brad Crowell 5:50  Yeah, sorry, I wasn't finished. So the accel formula, basically, what that covers is we're going to really dig into how do you connect with people in your community, bring them into your space, win them over so that they become a long-term client, and then empower them to be your voice in the community. Lesley Logan 6:16  They could be a sneezer. That's what Seth Godin calls them, sneezers. Brad Crowell 6:19  He does, he calls them sneezers I'm gonna call them accelerators because we got a theme going.Lesley Logan 6:26  Today, I went on our community babe. And I almost booked myself a pop-up class without even trying. So you guys, these things he's going to teach you in this workshop. Brad Crowell 6:36  You just gotta be out and about meeting people and there are strategies to it. Lesley Logan 6:40  And by the way, I'm an introvert, like, like high functioning, but like through and through. So you can do this, if you're an introvert. It's strategies that do work. Brad Crowell 6:49  Yeah. And you know, what will be, you know, it's going to be some high-level concepts, and then some action items, actionable items that you can immediately take. Because, you know, I mean, obviously, for those of you who are familiar with Agency, this is like just one part of the bigger picture and so we're going to be hosting that. So get yourself on the waitlist for The Accelerator, it is going to be profitablepilates.com/upcoming, profitablepilates.com/upcoming. Lesley Logan 7:19  Okay. And then lastly, real super quick. Brad's going to tell me the link to this because I forgot but we have summer camp coming up and I'm actually working on right now in the lineup of workouts and workshops, there'll be C team and I'm hoping a few good friends are going to be taking over the first weekend of your June and just giving you all the Pilates you ever wanted. Brad Crowell 7:42  Ever wanted. Lesley Logan 7:43  Ever, ever, ever, ever. I personally have raised my hand to do a ladder barrel workout. That's right. So anyways, you heard it here first. So you're gonna go to I think it's opc.me/workshops opc.me/workshops plural, my friends opc.me/workshops. It says get notified for upcoming workshops, get on the waitlist and you see all of my amazing deets on there. So there you go. Okay, before we get into the Ashley Black recap, which I can't wait to dive in and share our thoughts all about this. We have an audience question to respond to. Yes, Brad? Brad Crowell 8:24  Yeah, we sure do. This is from @-3-R-D-T-W-I-R-L-4-9-4 on YouTube. Lesley Logan 8:32  Third Twirl 494, Brad, Third Twirl.Lesley Logan 8:32  That's what it is. Third twirl. Lesley Logan 8:34  From YouTube. Brad Crowell 8:40  So, 3-R-D third. Hi, can I ask your opinion on something, please? I'm considering an intense, full comprehensive classical course. What questions should I ask to prepare myself? I've been teaching for 13 years already but my clients are pre postnatal. I'm looking at this at 54. And I wanted a bit of boost of a boost and motivation to build more classes. Thank you. I'm just a bit scared. And I want to make sure I can handle it. Lesley Logan 9:08  Yeah, so I love this question. Because for the part where like, I'm a bit scared and wonder if I could handle it. Part of me was wondering is like she thinking that her age is based on like, can she handle a classical program? Or is she thinking like timewise can she handle a classical program? So here's what I'm gonna say, 3rdTwirl494, I have a book that the first couple of chapters are actually full of questions that you should ask any training program you're considering using. And that goes for anybody who's thinking about being a teacher or is already a teacher, but something I would say to people who are already teachers, if you are wanting to learn a different modality in the teaching, I highly recommend looking for a bridge masters or mentorship. So, bridge master, mentorship, they all equal the same thing. It's just marketing terms. I have a mentorship, that's what I call it, I call it mentorship because I do believe that I, you are hiring me to be a mentor for over nine months and beyond. Oh, it's like infinity and beyond. Nine months and beyond because it's nine months together in a group with me and then you graduate to the alumni group, and you have access to me, for always, but if you're already a teacher, and you want to learn another modality for you, you want to learn classical Pilates. If you join a classical training for new teachers, it's going to feel weird because you have 13 years of experience, but you're learning a new thing. The people around you are like, oh, my God, she's 13 years of experience so they act weird around you. well,Brad Crowell 10:43  And not only that, it's the basics, right? So they're like, "And lift your arm over your head," you're like, ah, been there. Lesley Logan 10:50  Yeah. So I recently had a call with someone who was choosing between my mentorship and another program and they chose the other program. And it's a dear friend of mine. So like, they're in great hands. But if you already are teaching, and you're learning in a group where you're learning to teach, it's going to feel somewhat remedial, and overwhelming. Way better to be in a group of already trained teachers because there's a there's different questions that you could ask and you can get different answers that don't go over the heads of the other people in the group. And you can really also dialogue with the other people in your group. So you actually get to have some really great friendships. I know that the master's program, the first master's program I did I had made some really, really great friendships with the people who are already teachers, because we got to go, okay, this is what I learned before this is what I'm going to learn now, here's what I'm going to do. And then when I did the mentorship that I did with with Jay Grimes, I'm still friends with those people they all been teaching for you had to be teaching for more than five years to be in that program. So anyways, I highly recommend that you look for a program that's already for teachers versus a new program because you've been teaching for so long. Lastly, can you handle it? Do you think you can handle it better when you're older? When you have more "time" (in air quotes". No. I mean, like, if you want to learn classical, yes, you should do a bridge or a masters or mentorship. Brad Crowell 12:09  This all makes me think of something that you should definitely check out called eLevate. Lesley Logan 12:17  Oh, yes. Brad Crowell 12:18  Because Lesley actually has a master's program that she's been hosting for the last few years now. We've had dozens of people going through the program, and we are opening enrollment for 2025 already because 2024 has kicked off and it's happening. So if you if it's something you want to check out, you know, just reach out to us or go to Lesleylogan.co/elevate and we can get you. You know, we can secure your spot now. So, yeah, go check it out. Great question. Thank you for asking. If you have a question, and you want us to chit chat about it, or surmise or give you a straight answer. Just ping us anywhere. Lesley Logan 13:03  Clearly, anywhere. We find them.Brad Crowell 13:06  Yeah, anywhere. Lesley Logan 13:07  It's like ask us anything. Ask me a question. You can do it here, here here. She actually changed it. You can email her but I clearly grabbed her from everywhere.Brad Crowell 13:16  Okay, now let's talk about Ashley Black. Ashley Black, inspired by her personal struggle with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis leveraged her 30 years of experience in fascia research to invent the FasciaBlaster, a groundbreaking tool designed to enhance connective tissue health and regeneration. She has authored the number one bestselling book on fascia, while also pioneering the first documented ultrasound evidence of fascia regeneration in peer-reviewed research.Lesley Logan 13:47  Do you know how much it cost to do peer-reviewed research? Brad Crowell 13:50  I looked at this research facility that she mentioned. Lesley Logan 13:52  She spent $2 million.Brad Crowell 13:54  2 million bucks y'all. And these guys are like legit, you know.Lesley Logan 13:58  And by the way, $2 million doesn't mean you get to be involved in the research. Brad Crowell 14:02  Oh, no, no. Lesley Logan 14:02  You're not involved at all. They just do it.Brad Crowell 14:04  She was definitely I mean, she obviously was confident in what she was doing. But you know, they could have come back and been like yeah, none of this is real. Lesley Logan 14:12  Thanks for your $2 million.Brad Crowell 14:14  Yeah, thanks for your 2 million bucks, you know, but they did not they came back and said yeah, this is legit so good for her. That's really exciting. Yeah, and you know, now you can blast your bait all you want.Lesley Logan 14:29  Dear Lord. And so I really love this okay, so I'm going to be really honest like I, if you know me, you know, like, I am all about, like, beautiful bodies at every size like 1,000% and I have like, I do love the body that I have, like I really do. But I have not really enjoyed, like some cellulite that I have. And I've just been really frustrated and I saw like I saw one of her ads where she's sitting there in a bathing suit with nothing and I was like, wait, hold on a second. Wait a minute. And then I was like, am I am I being superficial? Like, am I being like, am I anti-body positivity? Like, I'm just gonna be really honest, like, these are all the things that I thought about when I looked this up, and one of my dearest friends who's been on the show several times, who's a functional medicine doctor and a western medicine doctor was like, oh, Ashley Black has these amazing tools. And I was like, what do they actually work for? Like they actually work and then my other friend Kareen is on the show. She's like, oh, I have them all. And they I've been using them and I'm like, okay, so am I just had to buy like something that doesn't work. But then I like went down the rabbit hole, fell in love with all of the research she's had and by the way, her tools are just for cellulite. And they're like your fascia is like, as she discussed is like over your whole body. And she has nothingBrad Crowell 15:45  It's not just over it's in like it's between your organs (inaudible)Lesley Logan 15:49  She had a video where she takes these straws. And the straws obviously are wrapped in paper. And she's like, that's basically your fascia. There's fascia inside all wrapped around all these muscle fibers. And so what she said is, cellulite is a physical presentation of bad fascia. And she actually feels her it's her moral duty to tell people not to accept it, because she likened it to having a rash. If you had a rash, you wouldn't just go love my body and my rash. You would go like, deal with the rash. And she's like, you can absolutely love your body at any size. And you guys, go check her out. This woman loves her body at her size. She's beautiful. She like does amazing thing. She's over 50 and going surfing in Costa Rica, like she's kicking ass. But she says that we can actually love our bodies and work on our fascia and that can actually help with the cellulite, but also bonus benefits. Some of the pain you're having, including why she was doing this in the first place. She had major pain in her hip are because of bad fascia. Brad Crowell 16:50  Yeah and she started investigating the stress in the knee and the ankle, and was basically moving the fascia around, and eventually was able to work through the pain she was having in her hip with it. Lesley Logan 17:08  Yeah. And she so she's really big on advocating for effective fascia treatment, because there's a lot of things on the internet like foam rolling or even like we have, like a like a type of the percussion tools, right? So there's percussion massager. She's like, those are actually not great for fascia but they're great for other things.Brad Crowell 17:27  They are great for muscles. Lesley Logan 17:28  They're great for muscles. And so like, if you watch her she's very specific. Like if you do if you go too deep with the tools, that's a deep massage, that's for the muscle. If you do it up here that's for the skin if you do it like this pressure, like so there is a method (inaudible). Brad Crowell 17:41  Her tools, you mean. Lesley Logan 17:42  Yes. And so I think like what I loved was that she wasn't dissing any products, she was basically explaining how that product helps a different thing versus her products help. And I wanted to stress this, it's not just about the cellulite, you guys, her fascia can if your fascia is not healthy, if it gets tight, if it gets bundled, if things happen to it, you will have pain and it criss-crosses your body because fascia is an organ almost like it's like maybe is an organ, maybe the science is saying that but like it is so integral, and we go to the chiropractor a lot and I swear to God, the problem I'm having is because some fascia shit that's on a different part of my body that I am working out with my blasting tools. So I'm like, there's a reason why this is like on the left over here, the right over here, the left over here. So anyways, I'm a little bit obsessed. I love that she addressed that because I I was going I was like kind of having a little bit of like conflict of my own values. And it's like, oh, no, it's okay. And also, by the way, I still love myself and blast.Brad Crowell 18:45  Well, I really loved when she was talking about the balance of running a business and maintaining scientific integrity. Because when you run a business, it's really, you know, like, the idea is, what is our marketing message that's gonna get people to buy things, right, and you can just make shit up. Right? Lesley Logan 19:05  Oh people do make so much up. Brad Crowell 19:06  People do they just make it up. Right. And so she is definitely arguing for the marriage of marketing with actual clinical research, you know, like the work that backs up the claims that she's making. And I thought that was awesome. I mean, for me, that's like, integrity, you know? And she talked about really, I think, I think was an interesting conversation. She's like, am I taking crazy pills? Am I the only person that's talking about fascia? Like, what's the deal here? Why is it that like, you know, how is it that (inaudible) western medicine is not even considering this as a as something to look at. They're just pushing fascia out of the way. Lesley Logan 19:49  And this was like 20 years ago when she was first like when she first started. So if you're like (inaudible).Brad Crowell 19:56  And she, you know, was learning, she was reading she said she was literally having Eastern medicine books translated in English so that she can learn more about fascia. And she kept looking around for the fascia expert and the fascia expert and the fascia expert until she finally was like, I think maybe I'm the fascia expert because what the hell no one else is talking about this. , Lesley Logan 20:18  You know, what I just to like, like in that I could not believe we could actually have a podcast called Be It Till You See It, it seems so obvious that there'll be a podcast out there already. So like, I think a lot of times we, we, all of you listening, the we, doubt that we could be the first person to think of something as a topic to share with the world. And I thought it really interesting that she just kept going, there's gotta be someone, there's she was like just praying and looking for someone else to be the expert. And then at the time, there wasn't anyone? Brad Crowell 20:56  Yeah, well, I just want to throw out a couple of other things that are like the science behind what she had, you know, studied, or sorry, that she obviously she went down her own path of education. And then she commissioned some scientific studies. And so she's proved her commitment to ensuring safety and scientific validation through methods of funding independent research, with a blind study by the Applied Science Performance Institute, which that's the company I looked up there out of Florida. Fascinating. There's a bunch of like science nerds, they're clearly very expensive. She utilized DEXA scans, ultrasounds and blood markers in the study, or they did and then they focused on collagen inflammation and longevity markers like telomere length. So I don't have a clue what telomere length is but that's what they focused on. Lesley Logan 21:49  I actually, I used to study that stuff. So I do. That's very impressive. And by the way, you guys, somehow Timbaland ended up in the conversation. Brad Crowell 22:00  The producer.Lesley Logan 22:01  Just want to say that, that I've always wanted Timbaland to be like part of a conversation and he made it into my podcast.Brad Crowell 22:15  So yeah, so do longer telomeres mean longer life, this is what I'm learning about genetics. So shorter telomeres are associated with shorter lives. I don't know that it's the reverse. They didn't say longer are associated with longer, but they are saying shorter is associated with shorter. So anyway, she sought to address any skepticism and criticism from both the scientific community and from the general public regarding your fascia treatment techniques by supporting it with science, so. Lesley Logan 22:47  Yeah. Brad Crowell 22:48  All right. So finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Ashley Black? She actually covered all four, she literally spent time thinking about this and she was very Lesley Logan 23:03  Did you see my face on the video? Like my jaw was like dropping as she went through each one because you guys know, we tell people, they only have to do one if they want, like, you know, because like, we're just like, thank you for being on the podcast. I'm so grateful. And she's like, oh, I actually wrote these down. Hold on, I thought about each one. So we actually got she actually has, like, I love that they that it stands for something. Like it does, thank you for noticing.Brad Crowell 23:29  Just like I didn't know BE IT meant something. She said, you know, for bold, stepping into your power. You know those little voices that come in from time to time and tell you who you are. Once you know who you are, be unapologetic, without fear and step into who you are. Just be it. For intrinsic, she said, she recommends the Delete Activity, which I thought was really interesting. I'm curious to learn more about this. But she started by writing everything down that she does in the day. And then she reviewed it and she was like, you know, what, can I get rid of? What can what can I cut? Why am I doing these things? You know, and I? I don't know? Like maybe it's I don't know, maybe? Maybe we can just delete cleaning.Lesley Logan 24:19  Well, you can I mean, you can also like we deleted getting up to open the door for dogs by getting a thing that opens the door for the dog. So like you can like some deletes also include a delegation but like right What if you could just delete it? How would that work? And also likeBrad Crowell 24:36  She mentioned like, well, relationships that are stagnant and that are causing stress. Lesley Logan 24:39  Oh, gosh, get rid of those. But also like Brad Bradbury's Jack says like, because he was somebody was like, oh, I have to clean my desk to like actually get worked on and he's like, no, you don't. Your desk does not have to be clean to actually get worked on. The house does not actually have to be clean. And then Gay Hendricks is to be on the pod soon. Yes, he is. Yeah, he is. He actually says in his book he's like, if you think the house has to be clean before you can write creatively, because you think other people want the house to be clean, don't you think that other people in the house would prefer you to be a happy, healthy, awesome person living in your genius? So. Yeah, the house does probably have to get cleaned at some point. But you're probably gonna clean up more or have a better life with the people who live you live with if you are doing your thing that you love. So delete shit.Brad Crowell 25:25  Yeah. So she said, you know, we have something intrinsic to our nature and authenticity, when we're discovering and sharing our authentic self. You know, if it's a gift that we have, and we don't share it, it's a wasted life. But those really, that was some strong language there. And she suggests self-discovery create space to understand yourself, you know, when you're giving yourself space by deleting things. And so yeah, I thought I thought it was interesting. B-E.Lesley Logan 25:57  Yeah. So I think you got the B-I butBrad Crowell 26:01  B-I. Lesley Logan 26:01  So I got a couple for you for the rest of them. Which is it's not the action, it's the little actions. So she talked about encouraging it to break down goals into manageable steps and take the first three today, or the first one, like take little actions, because we kind of like put things like, oh, I've got to build my course. I've got to create a challenge. I've got to make an email funnel. It's kind of like, holy fuck, that's so many things. Like, do you know how many things how many hearts go in there? You want to actually like break it down into little things. And this reminds me of Jill Flodstrom who was on the pod many, many moons ago and she was like, make everything take two minutes. So every task you put on your list, break it down until two minutes, because you always have two minutes, you have two minutes, when you're waiting for someone, no one is on time for a Zoom call anymore. They're all two minutes late. So you could actually do something for two minutes. So I'm consistently being that person. And then she said, find your North Star, find that thing that truly, truly makes you fulfilled. I really love this because today I had a call with someone and it was really, really great. But it would be a total distraction, it would not like it could veer its way back to the target. But right now it feels like a little offside and I (inaudible) I'm like, I love this when it's at this point in your business that will actually be in alignment with what I'm doing. And I'm so in so whatever that when do you think that she's like, it'll probably be three months and like you call me in three months the offer still stands but right now, as it stands, it would just it's it's a little bit out of left field for me and so I would rather wait the three months if you don't mind. And I would wait three years. Because like the reality is, you guys, we tend to think that everything happens has to happen tomorrow. And what I have discovered is it all happens when it's supposed to which is fucking annoying. But stay on target.Brad Crowell 28:09  Yeah, find that Northstar.Lesley Logan 28:10  Do you like, do you like that really, really exciting, like supportive, like hoorah coaching like it's all going to happen when it's supposed to. But it really does. And it's really amazing. And you always learn from things. So Ashley Black, I love you. I'm excited for what we're doing together, you guys there will be some projects that Ashley and I are hoping to do together. One of them is you can actually use a link of ours to blast your bait to take that line out of Brad.Brad Crowell 28:40  Master Blaster.Lesley Logan 28:42  So there's I have a ton of the tools I'm not gonna lie, our bathroom is full of them. I've been caught blasting all around the house. Honestly, whenever I'm Netflix sitting and chilling, that's me, I'm just blasting and it feels really nice to do something for your body like I one of my love languages is touch. And so I do not have the time to go to a massage or as my I would, I would fucking go every week if I could. It's not the money. It's literally the time. So I really love this because it gets me, allows me to do something for myself. It feels really good to do something for myself. And I don't think that as humans we actually touch our bodies enough so do that. And lastly, like I saw, I saw a couple moles I've never seen before probably because I wasn't looking for them. So I'm booking a dermatology appointment so you can also get to know yourself a whole lot more while you're doing this. It's a byproduct.Brad Crowell 29:36  I love it. Well check the link in the show notes if you want to see what we're talking about here. And stay tuned because like Lesley said, we do have some more fun things coming up you know with Ashley down the road, and we can't wait we can't wait to announce them for you. Lesley Logan 29:51  And by the way after the show is done recording Terraformer is out on her like outdoor patio Costa Rica. So she really truly is a Pilates person, loves it really the fascia like she, like, honestly and really into fascia, not just for your cellulite but also like what fascia could do for your entire body. It's not just out the outward, it's the inward as well. So yeah, it's she's awesome. I'm Lesle Logan. Brad Crowell 30:17  And I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan 30:18  Thank you so much for listening to us today. How are you going to use these tips in your life?

You know once that they are in I'm gonna have time you know to kind of let the story unfold.Lesley Logan 0:19  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:01  You guys, welcome to the Be It Pod and pinch me. I'm so fricking blessed. I'm so honored, I'm so inspired. This interview is just, as a female business owner, you don't often meet people who are like in the thick of it, who are willing to share the journey and be honest and open. And then also be supportive as fuck. And I say that because our guest today is this person. This is and we have Ashley Black on the Ashley Black experience, and the blasters, fasciablasters, I have several tools and I'm going to buy them all. Lesley Logan 1:41  I wanted to bring her on because her personality, what I saw on videos and what I saw her tools doing that could change your life, not just what the aesthetic part, but also like, I know what fascia can do in the body. And like having tools to take away pains, aches, and imbalances, it literally is what helps you be it till you see it, right? Like if you have any pain in your body, if you've got something that is distracting you from your dream, it's going to hold you back and so wanted to have her on for so many reasons. And then I met her and like honored is an understatement. She's just the fucking coolest. And she's so open and honest. And I think it's really, really important to highlight and high five and share when there are female business owners out there that are not only there to help the people that they made their product for, but they're willing to also support the other women who are in aligned businesses. And so I'm so grateful for this connection, for this episode. We've got some amazing stuff coming up. I'm working on a special thing for you guys, for the Ashley Black products. So we'll make sure somewhere in this episode, we'll add all those links in so you'll have that as well. And then make sure you're following me because I'll have those if you're really, really interested in it, and you don't know where to find it or you didn't understand the ad for it then just DM me and I'll get it to you but you are going to love her. You're gonna love this episode. And by the way, you know, I love the Be It Action as always, but like, it's very rare that someone actually does all four and she did all four and get your pen and paper out. It's gonna be amazing. So here is Ashley Black. Lesley Logan 3:25  All right, Be It babe. I'm gonna fangirl a little bit only just because I just discovered this. I don't know where I've been. I've been under a rock. But today's guest blows my mind. She's incredible. I've watched more videos of her than any person I've ever interviewed before. And so we've Ashley Black of Ashley Black Experience here. Can you tell everyone who you are and why you're so amazing?Ashley Black 3:47  Well, thank you for that. I'm gonna fangirl out on you because I don't listen to anyone's podcasts. I'm a very busy woman and I also hate technology. And I love your show. I love what you're doing. So thank you for having me. I think it's a great fit.Ashley Black 4:03  The short of it is that my name is Ashley Black and I invented some tools called the Fasciablaster. If you wiki me I'm best known for that. Although obviously there's a huge story behind that you don't just roll out of bed and invent tools and then become an author.Lesley Logan 4:26  You don't just like it doesn't like it's not out of a box like this is the box. Ashley Black 4:31  (Inaudible) and you're just instantly a millionaire. Lesley Logan 4:33  Yeah. And the tools they don't take any time at all to create I mean. Ashley Black 4:40  (Inaudible) in 30 years, I'm an incredible overnight success. Lesley Logan 4:45  That likeLesley Logan 4:46  Thank you for saying that because I think even when I was looking at your stuff, I was like oh my God, like I like how did she do this so fast? And it's like, hold that. It's been decades. It's not you know, we just make up stories when we see people so yeah. Can we talk a little bit about how it got started? Lesley Logan 5:03  Yeah.Ashley Black 5:04  Yeah. So all of this that I do now for a living is based around kind of my entire life, just struggling to be healthy. I was born with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. So you know, when you're born was something you don't know any different. But I have to tell you, I do feel like my soul came into this existence kind of a fighter and like questioning things, you know, because even as a little kid, my parents would tell me, I would just tell them, I'm not doing that.Ashley Black 5:41  So, I, you know, this is the 70s. So I was being raised when everybody was doing anti-inflammatories, gold shots, they always wanted to take my blood. So I think that a lot of what I do, and I do consider myself holistic health, I do consider myself woowoo. But I'm also still mainstream, but I think that kind of like, maybe there's a better way, in terms of health comes from being a child, and beginning to question the medical institution, my parents and everybody else at a very young age. So that's how it all really started. I also, you know, most children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis do not become junior Olympic gymnast. And, you know, I was on the dance team in my college and, you know, just became very athletic and became obsessed with fitness kind of in my 20s. I was like one of the first people ever to teach Pilates when no one knew whatever it was and do step aerobics, or things that were like my hobby, right? But it did set the stage for everything that I'm doing now.Lesley Logan 6:54  Thank you for for sharing that. Because I, it's interesting. They'll say, like, when you were a child, like there was a lot of things about you that made you who you are today. And like, obviously, like, I can't imagine being a child with juvenile, like that just doesn't, like kids are supposed to be able to run and play and fall off trees. Like, I feel like, it definitely feels like it brought the rebel in you like, you're not going to tell me what my body can and can't do. And I feel like that definitely had to put you on the path because you have always be seeking out like, how can I do this thing that they think I can't do?Ashley Black 7:25  Totally. And I mean, it definitely extended into kind of being a teenager and working in health clubs. And I'm from Alabama. So I went to this very unique place at a unique point in time, which was called Kaz Gym, it was Bill Kazmaier, who now is very famous for being a strong man. So even when I was in my early 20s, I was being exposed to people who were leveraging fascia for strength, although we didn't know it. So that teased, it kind of teased things up to where I am now. And you know, if anybody says, what is it that you do, I would just say that I'm a healer. But the way that I am a healer is by a very unique understanding of fascia and having that very unique understanding for a very long time. And then developing products around it. And then, you know, when those get in the market, you can refine the products and all that kind of stuff. So, to flashboard the story really what happened was, so it was just my destiny. I don't know how else to say it, when everybody says, tell me your business plan on like, my business plan would never work for anybody but me. Right?Ashley Black 8:40  So when I was 29, I had kind of my second crushing blow health-wise, where I got this bone infection. And, you know, just kind of think mad cow disease meets bone cancer, because it was in my spine, which means it gets into the nervous system. And it almost killed me, I had a true two times cardiac on the table. But the beautiful part of that is that I had a near-death experience. And if you've ever talked to anybody with an ND they come back with this kind of interesting understanding of why they're back. You know, and so for me 100% you know, I don't feel like this is my career. I feel like this is what I was brought back here for which makes it fun and passion. Lesley Logan 9:33  And also I just want like, I laugh when you said like, what's your business plan because I, I resonate with like, I kind of fell into every, every business I have, just like kind of fell into it. I'm like, okay, how do we make this work? But I also think like, having that ND, it kind of the things that would hold a normal, normal person, a person who didn't have ND back, don't because you're like, well, this I'm not going to die from this so you can I don't know, I don't know if that's an actual mindset from you. But like, you kind of don't let the normal obstacles and business or going after your dream stop you. You know, that's how I would imagine. Ashley Black 10:09  The first thing people with NDs and it's funny that you say normal people because I do have a term where I'm like they're a normie. I'm definitely not a normie. But it is a perspective that you learn that first of all, we don't die. So the fear of that is, you know, is removed and yeah, it definitely gives you like, a little bit more of a fierceness. But I think you still have to step into that fierceness. So for me, you know, when I came out of the near-death experience, I had three children under the age of four. Okay. I was a full-on crippled, I, it took almost two years for me to really learn to walk. And I decided to get a divorce. That was a little bit part of the ND for me, too. It's like, my life is different now you did different (inaudible). And you know, so when anyone ever says, well, you know, you blah, blah, blah, this or that. I'm like, look, you can't be in a worse position to start a business than what I was in. But what really started happening for me is I already had all of that knowledge about, you know, from being a personal trainer and fitness instructor. So I knew a lot about anatomy and how the body worked. But no one had ever said anything about fascia. Or, you know, this is kind of really before massage even became a thing. So this was when I was like, 30. So we're still talking 20 years ago. So. Lesley Logan 11:49  I mean, I remember I went to I was in college, I guess I've been like, 2002, 2003 When I was in, like, pre-med class, and we had, there was a body there, like at my college that I could like, look at inside. And I remember them saying like, the fascia, this is something we just like kind of throw of. Ashley Black 12:09  (Inaudible) taking my mind. I discovered it, that's exactly what happened. I went and took a dissection course. And I, you know, I'm a big person that is a big believer that like everything in the universe, and in my yard and in my body was put there, right, it's part of the whole thing. And when I saw that dissection, they were literally like, we're just gonna move this, you know, white tissue away, it's called fascia. And I'm like, move it away. It's the whole damn body. What are you talking about? Like, I don't even I see. You cut it open. And it is this fascia everywhere. So for me, I was trying to heal my hip. So my that is where my fascination is best.Lesley Logan 13:04  That's a great word, your fascia-nation.Ashley Black 13:06  (Inaudible) and you know, there was nothing this is right when Google and everything was kind of starting to come out. But I remember having papers from Chinese institutions, because they study it more. Translate it. And when I say that, I was obsessed. I was staying up all night reading these papers, I couldn't believe that I was learning this and you go through that whole thing like, there's no way I'm the only person in America that knows this and why doesn't my doctor know? And I went through years of that before I finally said, okay, you know what, you're the fascia person. You go learn, you go do it, you figure it out. And by that time I had fixed myself now, we didn't have the Fasciabuster tools, which are wonderful. But girl, I would grab anything from the kitchen. My (inaudible) hey, pull this, you know, but what I understood was that to restore my hip, I needed to look at my knee, I needed to look at my ankle, I needed to look at my ribs, I needed to look at the other side of my body, you know, and when you start to get a picture of this fascia thing, then you're really off to the races. And for me, I went from never hearing what fascia was to treating myself to being flown all over the country to treat Leonardo DiCaprio and Yankees players. It was that sick, but it was literally like I slipped through the fascia wormhole. And I was doing what no one else could it you know? Lesley Logan 14:39  Yeah, I mean, like, it's, I can I'm like, I'm a visual person. Like, I play people's stories like a movie in my head. And I'm picturing like, you going am I the only person in this country that is studying this? And it's like, because we always think there must be someone else. You know, the way that they Ashley Black 14:55  Oh I went to so many courses (inaudible).Lesley Logan 14:58  That's not it. I'm the only person who gets this. (Inaudible)Ashley Black 15:02  It's actually weird and sort of lonely place and I feel fortunate that I just like you were saying, fell into your career, I really fell in early on like working with, like really successful people and celebrities and athletes and things like that. And they do have a different mentality. I'll tell them this quick story, then we can move on, but, Someillan, who's an incredible producer, basically has produced everybody and I was working on all the artists down at the Miami hip factory. And he and I just became friends and he was wonderful. And I would always be like, I want to do this and then I want to do this and I want to do this and he said, Ashley, he's like, the minute you stop saying I want to do and you just start doing it you're gonna be a lot happier. And that was like okay, step in, step into your your power. Right?Lesley Logan 15:57  Yeah, I'd say that's the be it till you see it. I mean, like that's the thing like that's why I created this the title because I was like, people would ask me how do you do this thing? Like, I was not the first person to ever do some of the things I was doing but the way I was doing my industry and teaching Pilates and I'm like, I'm like, how am I doing it? Oh, I'm just doing, I'm just doing it. I'm doing a lot scared. But no one can see on the outside because you don't want people to know you're scared and you don't think you know what you're doing. But I, you know, you got, you got to do it. I love I love that it was Sembalun.Ashley Black 16:27  You know what's funny? I (inaudible) through his voice like, he was like, Ash, what are you doing? What are you talking about? Like, just do it.Lesley Logan 16:36  Okay, so, um, I want to, I want to obviously talk about your journey, your career, but I do want to just go back to the fascia for like, obviously, there's the misconception, we just throw it on the floor when we're, you know, opening bodies up. What are some other misconceptions about fascia that people have, like people are thinking about incorrectly that could be affecting their lives negatively? Ashley Black 16:58  Oh, my gosh, I think the first thing is, you know, when someone has commercial success, and I'm talking about myself around this keyword fascia, you're gonna get bandwagoners, you know, and so if you go on Google right now and just type in what is fascia and hit images, you're gonna see people foam rolling, you're gonna see Theraguns, you know, you're gonna see this expert was featured, you know, and she's doing some stretching, you know, when I look at that, and I'm just like, wow, we're so far off of it. And I blame it on the products people. Like, yeah, foam rolling is amazing, but target muscles, and, uh, you know, and Theragun is amazing, but, you know, target for pain relief, or, you know, whatever. So the biggest misconception, you know, even if you go straight to Google, and you type in what is fascia, they start talking about how it's a sheet over a muscle. So then people have just run with that. And I think that's where the foam rolling came thing came from. But fascia is completely different than that. So let's just first talk about that it has different states, you know how water can be steam and water can be ice, but it's still H2O, right? So fascia doesn't float out of our body like steam and it doesn't become quite as hard as ice, but it has that spectrum. So it can go from very thick and fibrous to kind of like a gelatinous more viscous all the way to liquid, right? So imagine if you were looking at me, and I was just one big Jell-O liquid fibrous, one continuous thing, right? Like a Jell-O mold. And just like you have Jell-O and you can put fruit in it now just go stick my brain in that stick my eyes stick my skeleton and whatever. So when we think about the human body, it literally, the fascia, literally surrounds every single one of our trillion and something cells. And I have to tell you, I would even argue that it's inside the cells. I just created this whole scientific theorem last year. But just for the sake of this conversation, it's literally everywhere in the body. It surrounds every single cell. Anytime we're talking about communication, cell, cell, brain cell, neurons don't touch, it's all going through the fascia. Fascia is what feeds our cells. So it is way beyond like the thing that makes us tight that we need to foam roll. Lesley Logan 19:42  You had a video that I was, I was bingeing where you took a bunch of red straws, and they were still in like their paper or plastic like surrounding and the way you were showing how the fascia surrounds and I was like, that is not how I picture that. I've always pictured like on the surface and that's it. And like when you did that was like, oh, that makes I mean, because it's not I'm not someone who's ever studied it deeply. I've studied very, very deeply in my world of Pilates. But like, where a lot of people who study fascia go, oh, I love how this exercise hits this fascia. I'm like, great, wonderful. I'm so grateful, too, but the way I love when I stumble upon something awesome, but like, the way I was like, oh, that makes so much sense because and then you talk about your hip, and then like, what's going on my knee? What's going on with my ribs? That's the thing that people don't understand is when I have clients Ashley Black 20:36  Or what's going on with my digestion because of my hip replacement. Like, I gotta get it out of orthopedics and into literally every field of medicine and also spirituality, because that's where it belongs. Lesley Logan 20:52  Yes, yes. I think like, when I because I would have clients and that you know, everything we like happen on this, right? So I'm like, yeah, what is okay, that yes, you have imbalances? And yes, I can work on that muscularly. But something is going on on a level that is, this workout isn't going to cure. You need and like, I can only like I wish, I wish 15 years ago, I had discovered you I probably could have done a different job there. But I think it's so interesting. How slow we have become to understanding fascia and likeAshley Black 21:25  I am (inaudible) so I took one of the original Pilates certifications way back in the day when it was only offered in New York and San Francisco, I went to 12 classes studied under Elizabeth Larkam. She's amazing. Incredible moves like a okay, so it is so crazy, because I was just starting to learn this. And I remember asking her and I said, you know, I've designed this I was using the reformer. And I kind of wanted to like take it to her because she was my idol at the time and be like, Oh, look at all this stuff. And she you know what she told me? She was like, you know, this is my place in the universe. But I'm happy for you. Is that crazy? I didn't have that memory until we just said it.Lesley Logan 22:08  So I think part of it is like part of me is like, oh my gosh, Elizabeth Larkam is so amazing. But also another part of me is like, what a gift she gave you. Like she didn't take it for herself and like, let youAshley Black 22:20  (Inaudible) a whole thing and probably fasciablasting would have been part of Polestar if they still exist or Balanced Body or whatever.Lesley Logan 22:28  Yeah, I mean, but like what a what a gift that she gave like she and she didn't deny it from you. She just said that I'm really happy for it. That's, that's so cool. I love when I hear women say something nice. (Inaudible) because I know what it's like, especially in that industry, there are some people that are like they feel larger than life like they've been in the industry so long. You're like, what do you think? And like she could have if she had said something negative, it might have been too much for you to handle at that new confidence in what you're doing (inaudible). She also didn't go oh, I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna put this on my thing. She gave you the permission to do it. I think that's cool.Ashley Black 23:10  100%. 100%. And it's beautiful. Like I certainly don't think I'm the first or even the best. Like there have been many that have gone before and even Joseph Pilates if he didn't know it, he could feel it. Because so many of Pilates movements and designs you are leveraging lines of tension of fascia, but I think that's where like, it's weird, because I feel like the like fitness people have been the ones to sort of gravitate to the fascia, but then kind of keep it in, in the fitness realm. You know, when I read anyone else's research or even look at what people are posting online, I'm like, yeah, man. yeah, as long as it's about what fascia is, you know, there's some people discovering the quantum nature of it. There's some amazing people, you know, that are out there doing, you know, training programs and things like that. But when it comes to like, how do you treat it? Yeah, like how do you treat it and restore it to its native or best possible state? And that's when it's like, okay, there's everybody else and then there's the direction that I'm going, right, a little right across the (inaudible) a few modalities, you know, but at the end of the day, I if, you know, the fascia people have kind of been the nastiest to me, and I think that a little bit of it is that word blaster like they, you know, as if you're like, using a gun and shooting it up, like Star Wars or something.Lesley Logan 24:50  You know what's so funny? My husband is like, I think that blaster is such a great marketing word glad for her because it's like you're basted. He's like, he was just like, way into it, but I doAshley Black 25:01  (Inaudible) I hope he becomes a blaster vader.Lesley Logan 25:05  Oh my God, he will listen to this and I'm gonna I can't even watch his face when he hears it. Isn't that weird how like, it's like some of the people in our own world can be the meanest and the cruelest. And they can't see that, like what you're doing, like, maybe don't like that word. But also that word is something that helps people understand. Like, that's a word that regular people can understand.Ashley Black 25:29  (Inaudible) incredibly complex. You know, like, I, again, I've had 30 years of studying this. It is very complex, right? So what I tried to do was, you know, I did almost 15 years of clinical work before I decided to bring it mainstream. And I wasn't, I haven't had to create the whole industry in terms of mainstream-ness, right? So that means I've got to let you know, number one, that you have fascia, right, and number two, that you should treat it, and then number three, this is how you treat it. And so there, I just think that there's that that disconnect. I also think, you know, at the end of the day, people can be jealous of success, and whatnot. But at the end of the day, for me, not I am literally like water off a duck's back, I really could not care less, I know what my direction and my purposes, you know, but I really, ultimately would love to have all of the fascia people come across the fence, we certainly have had lots of them. The reality is, is that I am the only person in the history of fascia to ever be able to throw up ultrasounds and say, this is what fascia looked like before my tools and my method and this is what it looked like after and it go from the state that everybody knows is bad, which is thick, dry, tangled, and then the, the unorganized pattern of it almost like a, like a spider that makes a web with some sort of problem, right? To this very soft, hydrated, supple. These are all things we can see on the ultrasound. So if anybody questions, the work at this point, I'm so glad I spent half of my retirement, you know, hiring an amazing research lab to do these studies because it's like game set match. Lesley Logan 27:32  Yeah. That's so cool that you I mean, like, it's really cool that you did that. Because I you know, when my friends told me about you, I looked at stuff and I'm like, okay, I'm in products I've been in, I've been doing business long enough. I know how the ads work. I know all the things. And it was when I saw not, not just before and afterwards, I saw like the actual site like you had, I was like, oh, she spent money to have third parties not financially investedAshley Black 28:03  I love this course of action that we're on right now. Because it's, it's so true. You know, my study was $2 million. And you can certainly question well, she did her own study, but I didn't do my own study. And I can tell you this, I don't see the National Institute of Health or any grant writers being like, let me study your product. Okay. It just doesn't happen. I'm not a pharmaceutical. Yeah, you know, and no one's going to benefit but me. But I went and hired the Applied Science Performance Institute. And they did the study, blinded. All I did was the actual you know, design of the protocols. So I met the participants and I taught them how to do it. And I worked with them on what I wanted to measure. So we did DEXA scans, which is really, really cool because you can see where fat is distributed and muscle. So we did the DEXA scans. And then we did the ultrasounds that we just talked about. And then we did a lot of blood markers and the blood markers were for the best possible things like pcp for collagen. We wanted to look at inflammation obviously being an arthritic that's a big deal for me. So we measured the C reactive protein. We looked at irisin, so irisin is associated with telomere length. So now we're talking about longevity. I wanted to look at all of those things. But I was completely hands-off. The researchers did it. They pulled all of the data and what somebody I don't think ever thinks about is what if I was wrong? You know?Lesley Logan 29:43  $2 million, and they're like, doesn't do any of the things you say. (Inaudible) heartbreaking.Ashley Black 29:49  I know and to be honest with you I was more than willing to take that risk because I already had it in the marketplace. We didn't need like studies for FDA clearance. And so I knew something was happening, you know, but I did want to make sure that it was safe. And I did want to make sure that when I would say, you know, I have a theory that this happens or whatever I wanted to be able to validate that, you know, so I think that anybody who really truly has a scientific mind, that's what you do, you throw it up to the data and whatever, you know, the data says, you know? I think sometimes when people see my products, you know, the ads sometimes resonate with people and sometimes don't. And I love that you said, you do love to the (inaudible), but then when you saw that science, you were like, yeah, you know, we put it all out there. But at the end of the day, you, if you're going to spend a lot of money on advertising, you need to get a return. And sometimes the information that I would prefer to be talking about like its fascia inside the mitochondria, it's mitochondria matrix, I think it is, isn't the kind of thing that sells the product. So there's always a balance between, you know, having to run your business and still maintain that scientific integrity. Lesley Logan 31:10  You know, just like my daily life right now, because I'm a Pilates instructor who was lucky enough, like I say, I fell into it, like one of my teachers who I studied with for many many years still say what he's still with Joseph Pilates. So like, I mean, as far as like, all the marketing goes, like I'm a second generation teacher, which means nothing to regular people means a lot to teachers. Like, I you know, all these things, and all I want is help people get off the ground, get off the toilet, like feel super strong. I know the Pilates changes are competent, I know that it changes how your stress levels, I know all these things, right? And because I won't do befor- after photos on looks, and because I won't talk about weight loss because by the way, exercise is not what weight loss is, guys, it's just not it's your microbiome, it's probably your fascia. It's a lot of like hormone stuff, but like, because I don't do that we don't sell as fast and I I can't lie to people like you, you want to do your marketing to be honest and true and to be safe. So you did all these things. And it's really hard, because your stuff, what probably makes it sell the most is like the getting rid of cellulite and getting rid of wrinkles and like that's like superficial to why you started it for. Ashley Black 32:25  First of all, none of that is my passion at all. I was not in the beauty industry. I've always been in the fascia industry, you know, but let me say something when one of my clients who was the first, she got one of the first batches of Fasciablasters. I had not seen her in two months. And I knew what she looked like before she walked in and her legs looked incredible. And she was like, Ashley, it's your tool. And then I was like, let me start doing this. But I will tell you, you know, we do a lot of surveying of our customers, and only about 50% come in for beauty. And then it's a mixed bag from pain. And then now there's a big new group of people that are like wanting to release traumas and things like that. But when we, so we surveyed them, we know a lot about that customer journey, by the time that they're in, 90% are not in for beauty anymore. So I don't care if I have to, like take an umbrella and, you know, hook you in with something that resonates with wherever you are in that moment. No, once that they are in. I'm gonna have time, you know, to kind of let the story unfold. Lesley Logan 33:45  That's cool. That's cool. I think that that's, it's honest and true. And also, like, I love that people are having that transformation. Like they're coming in. Some, not even all of them, but some of them are coming in for this Sedex but then they're realizing it could be life changing. You know, what I also love about it, is the amount of time someone has to spend with themselves. I think that's really cool. I don't think enough people spend time with themselves touching themselves. Ashley Black 34:09  People never touch themselves. Lesley Logan 34:11  Touch themselves. I know. I know. I will. I'll just list a lot of fun jokes, guys. I wanted a hobby. And so I wanted to feel like I could be like sexier, I don't feel like a graceful, sexy person. And so I was like, I'm gonna take a pole class because those girls, they're like, they're sexy, right? Like they. So I took this pole class and she just okay, and just like feel yourself I'm like, okay, but like, what do you want me to do with my hair? Like how? Like, (inaudible) because I do spend (inaudible). I know. So I was just like, okay, all right, like people are walking by this like store. I'm doing pole and I'm like, I'm just gonna feel myself in front of everybody.Ashley Black 34:52  A little crotch grab.Lesley Logan 34:55  Just so funny because it's like, I just think we don't and so I really love is like your tools can really give them like, help them prioritize themselves and being in their body. And it's, I mean, that's why I teach Pilates. And that's why I do it. But like, it's just another way for people to have time with themselves. And we just, we spend so much time like taking stuff in.Ashley Black 35:19  The just beauty of, you know, us being a part of this whole incredible world like we have, in this route, we have a physical body, like, how cool is that we get a body, you know. So that's kind of the way I see it. I know, I'm over the top person in a kind of free sort of way. But, you know, if you, I'll tell you a quick story, but it's to just punctuate what we're talking about is that I did a wefunder campaign, I had never, I've never taken outside investment. And so we raised $3 million, we did it with our own audience. And oh, I just got like a chill. When you read the comments of the people who invested, these are not professional investors, there were women that were like, you know, I saw your Facebook ad and then you know, I started blasting for my cellulite. And then you know, that went away. But then I started realizing how good that I felt. And then I started, you know, jumping into your new year, new year program, then they came to a retreat, and they're like, you know, this changed my life. And like, I only have $1,000 in savings, but I want to put it towards this. You know, so that's what it's about, that. That's what it's about. It's about women. Not all, I mean, we have a large portion of men, and we're doing more male marketing, but primarily the business has been women and when they come together, and we have a huge I think we have about 500,000 in a private group, I manage that thing like mama hen, you know, (inaudible) come in there and say anything mean, and support each other. Sometimes these physical things like people getting a nose job or whatever, sometimes it just makes space for something else to come in. Lesley Logan 37:12  Yeah. Yeah, I think like we had Dr. Celeste Holbrook and, and she talked about, like, you know, when people are making changes to their body, it's often because it's like a harm reduction like they believe it's like going to reduce whatever harm they could see. And I also she's like, so I don't want to take that away from people, but also puts them on a journey towards, like, usually discovering a little bit more in themselves. And if they find it, I think it's so cool for them to tell some people in a Facebook group and a mix. (Inaudible) That's bigger than most cities, actually. But like that they could that they believe in your product so much that they still I mean, like, creating a product is one thing everyone like we have our flashcards and people are like, oh my God, that's such a cute idea. I'm like, it's cute. Yeah, to you're in Alaska, that's not nearly an investment you probably will make on your stuff, but like, my first investment and it was $15,000 to make these decks and I was like, do I do I need to have 100 somebody people buy these before I even get my money back. Do I know 105 people? Am I blowing up all of our savings right now? And so to have a group of people who believe in what your products are doing and the researcher doing all this stuff, you're doing so much that they want, they want it to continue on? That's just a testament to like the impact that your products have on their life. That's, that's more than aesthetics. People don't do that just because they got rid of cellulite.Ashley Black 38:33  I got a marriage proposal for getting rid of cellulite. (Inaudible) Yeah, I think a lot of it just has to do with like the support and the fact that like if you get this is what I always tell people it's not about because people say love your body the way it is. I want you to love your body the way that it is, but I also like if you had a rash I wouldn't be like love your rash. I would be like let's get rid of that rash. You know, cellulite is a physical presentation of bad fascia. You know, so for me, I feel like it's a moral duty to say hey, no, don't accept that, you know, and sometimes have terrible fascia below the surface and you don't see any cellulite at all. Just depends on whether it goes down into the muscles. So for me, it's about healthy fascia. You know, and if it (inaudible), you know, people should do love to do our heart but and all of that, like I great. It's just a confidence booster and they're, they feel empowered because it was them that made the decision to do it. It was them that took the time and energy to do it. And they feel great about it and they're getting healthy and having benefits way beyond their kind of wildest dreams. It really is a little bit like a wormhole when you actually understand how to restore your fascia and I'm not talking about stretching it from time to time or being a hydrated person or, you know, all the stuff that's floating out there on the internet. I'm literally saying that you need an effective fascial treatment. I don't know how effective other methods are because there is no ultrasounds to show me. You know, if somebody came to me, cupping regenerated tissue, and by the way I sell cups, I like it, it's part of the system. But by themselves, I don't think they can regenerate the tissue. I'm open to be wrong, you know, but what I know 100% Does the entire fascia system is my tool. So of course, I'm gonna recommend my tools. (Inaudible) every single person, man, woman child, or whatever you identify with should absolutely this is like water, vegetables, I always say brush your hair, brush your teeth, brush your fascia.Lesley Logan 40:54  I love that. Okay. Gosh, I just want to ask like, you obviously, like are so excited and so pumped for what you do. Are you excited about anything new coming up? Like what's in store for you? Or fasciablasting? Is there anything that's like on, up and coming that you just like, can't wait to like, work on? Ashley Black 41:12  Oh, gosh, yes, there is. So it's so interesting. And you can appreciate this being a business woman. You know, for me, it was all about launching it. And you know, making it this huge success. But sometimes you don't go well okay, then what? You know. And so for me, we just crossed the 170 million mark in terms of our lifetime revenue. And so I had that moment like so is do I sell or do I like raise money and push the gas pedal. So I have chosen to raise money and push the gas pedal because we are launching this incredible kind of an extension of what we're doing. So last year, we launched the Fascia Advancement Academy where we teach people, you should come. Lesley Logan 42:02  I want to. I'm like tell me more.Ashley Black 42:07  It's so perfect for you know, people that teach Pilates and some it's an add-on you can do but we teach professionals, anyone that wants to do it professionally. And there's levels in the Fascia Advancement Academy. And then the actual business model would be to partner with businesses, high-end spas, sports clinics, pre and post-operative care, to insert these people who have been to our academy and then set up those retail locations. So don't be surprised when you walk in the Fontainebleau or the Four Seasons, when you see the Ashley Black towerLesley Logan 42:46  There is a Fontainebleau here in Las Vegas, my friend I think you should (inaudible).Ashley Black 42:51  I mean, we actually just trained I think it was November like think like 27 therapists and estheticians because it's also facials. I think this is a way to really, really get it to the public. And instead of having to see another ad. You can experience blasting by a professional who's trained that understands it, and you can take the tools home and continue the treatment.Lesley Logan 43:19  Oh my God. So I know because I saw somebody like getting blast I was like, Brad, look at this. Do you think you could do this to me?Ashley Black 43:29  It's totally my fantasy. In fact, if I went and open that door right now, my therapist is here. So you know people say do you get blasted? I'm like, absolutely (inaudible). Therapists can reach places you can't reach they can, you know, leverage differently. And if you've had somebody who's been through the academy, then they really understand, you know, which tools are for which depths and it's a whole different level of understanding. So I think it's gonna be huge, you know, (inaudible) we get to this point and think it was already huge, but like, let's do it.Lesley Logan 44:09  Oh my God. Ashley, this is amazing. I could talk to you for hours but we're I just I'm really excited thank you for educating us on really what fascia is and also like helping us understand like it's totally in our power our superpowers to like take care of our own fascia and we should. We're goint to take a brief break and then find out how people can find you, follow you, get blasted, and your Be It Action Items. Lesley Logan 44:32  All right, Ashley, where do you like to hang out? What social media should they follow? And where can they get your tools?Ashley Black 44:40  I mean, the easiest thing to spell is Ashley Black. Exactly (inaudible) can be spelled and then that can get you to the website. And at the website, obviously, there are icons but my Instagram handle is Ashley Black Guru. On Facebook, The Ashley Black Experience. But I do encourage everybody, if you're fascinated with fascia I just took live for blogs that are what is fascia. And as I kept writing, then I was like, oh my gosh, I'm gonna have to have a fit. But it's free information. You just go to my site, hit blogs and jump in there.Lesley Logan 45:18  Oh my God, we'll add that to all the links for sure. Because I think, I know, our listeners are gonna nerd out.Ashley Black 45:24  We can definitely do some kind of special for your listener. Lesley Logan 45:29  Yes. I'm gonna want to do that. Ashley Black 45:31  We'll talk about that. Lesley Logan 45:32  Yeah, we're gonna talk about that. Oh, my gosh, we're so y'all don't be surprised OPC if we make something happen for the community. So okay, Ashley, you've given us so many things that we could like, obviously take care of ourselves right now. But what bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted steps people can take to be it till they see it? What are some action steps they can take?Ashley Black 45:54  Wow, it's so funny, because I didn't realize that Be It stood for anything until I got forms to fill out to be on the podcast. And I was like, oh my gosh, like this is everything I love. So I was just kind of thinking about what those words meant to me. And you know, bold, I think is that Someillan moment, just step in to your power, you have those little voices that come in from time to time and tell you who you are. Right? And once you know that, just unapologetically, without fear, step into that and just be it. You know, it's like the work of Joe Dispenza, where it's like, you know, if you were a millionaire, what would you do different, you would wear a different outfit, you would walk a little different way. Do that now. Do that now. So that's the bold. Intrinsic, I mean, I think at the end of the day, I believe this more than any plant on the planet, because of my near-death experience, like we are special, all of us are special. And we have something intrinsic to our nature and our authenticity. And if it's a gift that we have, and we don't share it, it's a wasted life, right? So I would definitely say, going on that self journey and creating this space to really discover who you are. I wrote a whole book about this actually, it's funny, it's called Be: From Passion and Purpose to Products and Prosperity. (inaudible) I kind of just did it on the side with two of my girlfriends. But, you know, we talk about like, how could you possibly discover who you are, if you're caught up in a bunch of bullshit all the time. And in the book, take people through activities, the first one is called delete. So that's gonna be my tip for your audiences go through literally for three days, write down every single thing that you do. And anything that does (inaudible) review, delete it, and just don't ever do it again. And you'll be surprised like, oh, I just got three extra hours in the day. So that's intrinsic. Lesley Logan 48:12  That's beautiful. Oh my God, that's beautiful. We're gonna put the book in the show notes too, with our readers. And I, I love that it's a similar title.Ashley Black 48:21  It's so funny. When I was writing it, I pictured it like, yeah, like, Family Feud. Lesley Logan 48:26  Yes, yes. I also thought you're gonna say like, delete the people in your life (inaudible).Ashley Black 48:32  That might be part of what was on that list? Right? Then I still want to go through these because I actually thought of it. Oh, executable. So when we think about the word execute, I think people take it from zero to 100. And they say, okay, you know, let me I use the word absolute (inaudible) it's not executable (inaudible). Zero to 100 in terms of execution, you know, it's like, should I take the $15,000 and go, you know, launch the business? Okay, well, that is execution. But it's also execution to say, you know what, tonight, I'm gonna go through my finances and just kind of see what I have. And it's also actionable to say, okay, do I have credit cards? Can you know, can we do this? It's also actionable and free to take a notepad out and start sketching out. You know, it's also to take the action, you know, to start to pick the colors, and you know, what is resonating with you and all that. So, it's not the action. It's the little actions, right? That's what I would say, whatever your major, major goal is. Just say look at it and go, oh, God, there's 2000 steps. Okay, we'll take the first three today or take (inaudible). Right? Because once you do it, and you can validate this because it happened to you. Once you do it, your confidence comes. (inaudible) Lesley Logan 50:00  Well also, it's like the moment of that, once you take the first step, because it's the hardest, or the first half a step, there is a little bit of push to pull that comes from you fall in your passion, it like pulls you, you know, so you don't have to keep finding the energy to take that next scary first step. They're like, things get put in place. And it's almost kind of a domino effect that makes it feel like it's too fast and too soon, but like, it does feel like there's a magnet (inaudible).Ashley Black 50:28  Actually we were talking about that the other day, it's like, when you have a business, you feel like you're pushing a wheelbarrow with, you know, rocks in it up a hill, but there is a tipping point. Then you're down the hill, and nothing's pulling you and your legs are flying. For me, I've done it so many times that I can almost sense when I'm at that, you know, tipping point. But you know, for the younger ladies out there are women who haven't done it yet. You know, it is there. It is, it's the laws of physics, you know, if we keep going, we're going to get to that place. Ashley Black 51:04  And then before I forget it, I think targeted goes back a little bit to what we were just talking about, it's like you have to, life is not linear, but it is entangled. And if what you say and think and take action on is not in alignment with whatever your target is, then you got to ask yourself that question. Like, am I moving backwards? Am I moving sideways? Is it out of here, and I'll give you just a perfect example, in my own life, because even in business, I get squirreled off, you know, somebody will tell me a great idea. And you know, I'll go focus on it, but then it's like, I'm off my target, even if it's the greatest thing in the world, you know, so I think what I would say first of all is find your target, find your Northstar, find the thing that truly, truly, truly makes you feel fulfilled. And then just make sure that everything that you're doing is on target literally, you know, getting wasted, and you get hung over for two days. That's what happens when you're my age. Isn't, doesn't move you in the direction of your target or, you know, having an old friendship that's become really stale and feels heavy when you are talking about but like that is the point where we can trim the fat you know, and make it a little bit easier to get to that target. Zig Ziglar said it's easier to get where you're going with a pack running with you than one wrapped around your neck.Lesley Logan 52:50  Yes. Oh my God. Ashley, this is so, you're so amazing. I love all of these. I I cannot wait. Brad's gonna listen to this and we're gonna choose our favorites but I don't know how to choose mine. I love them all. You guys, how are you gonna use these tips in your life? I want to make sure you tag Ashley Black, tag the Be It Pod, share this with a friend, share this with friends who need to hear it because it gets really easy to want people in our lives to grow as well but we hold all the growth to ourselves. So pass it along because maybe they need it for the fascia tips or maybe they need it for the inspiration of like sometimes it takes, it's an overnight success for 30 years.Ashley Black 53:31  Right. I'm exhausted from my overnight success.Lesley Logan 53:35  I just appreciate you being so honest, because I just it's so easy for people to think it happens overnight and must be nice. And you know what, guys, every single person out there you're looking up to I'm sure there's 20 years of like, or more of just them fighting uphill to make their magic happen and get their thing out into the world. And so thank you Ashley for being that example of what it can look like and for your amazing tools. I'm over here like nuggeting my (inaudible) I'm just like out here like tapping around. So thank you so much. We'll have all these links in the show notes. Make sure you tag with a friend, tag this, send it to a friend.

For one mom at Novant Health Rowan Medical Center, the situation couldn't have been more scary.
