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 0:47  Hi, Be It babe. How are you? Are you doing great? Happy Friday. I'm so glad you're here. I really am. I'm really glad that you're here. I hope you know that, like, as I sit here, picking what's gonna be the inspirational message for you today, picking the wins I'm going to share with you, reading your wins, because I have, like, a collection of wins. Some of them, if you notice, like when I read them, they're like from months ago is because there's so many that I want to share, and I wish I could share them all every single week, but know that I really do, can't wait to get them out there. And I hope that when you re-hear your win that you shared from months ago, you remember like you did that. You fucking did that. So way to go. So we do an inspiration from the internet, because things can be inspiring out there, doesn't have to be all be crap. We do wins of yours. We do a win of mine, and then we do a mantra. Lesley Logan 1:28  And so this particular one is like, phrases to say when you're at the doctor. And I wanted to give this to you, because we want to talk about, like, how you need to be an advocate for yourself when you go to the doctor sometimes. So here they are. Specific phrases that will make doctors listen to you. One is, this is having a significant impact on my quality of life. The next one is, this is having a significant impact on my partner's life. Another is, it's keeping me from have, being able to do activities that I enjoy. I'm having to take off work because I'm experiencing symptoms. I've struggled to get appropriate care for this problem. Please, can you make a note why you're denying me this treatment? Could you please send a copy of my medical records to me after we're done? Other people have noticed the problems I'm having and have said to me that it may be an issue. My pain is significant enough that I cannot sleep or can't walk. If you are in a larger body then saying something like I have recently lost 10 to 15 pounds, and my symptoms have got worse. That can be a really quick cheat for doctors. They often say, like, you have to lose weight. And you can say, I've done that. And then another thing, if you have notes that you have psychiatric care to let them know that I've already talked about this with my psychiatric care doctors, and they agree that this issue has nothing to do with my psychiatric care, and my pain is very difficult to manage with other over the counter treatments here's what I'm experiencing to manage the situation. So like I, I wanted to share this with you, because I think sometimes we go to doctors and we tell them, like, oh, let's just see how it's going. Oh, you're in range, oh, this, oh that. And the problem is, is that you, by the time you got into the doctor is probably four to six months from when you wanted to and so it can be frustrating when they're like, let's just, let's just see how it's going. It's like it's been months, right? And I do hate when doctors are telling you to lose weight, because, as we know, most doctors had the least amount of training possible around nutrition, especially in the States. I don't, I can't speak for other places. So this particular account we'll link to in the show notes, these are people that are in the U.K. and these are phrases that they have noticed have worked for them, and then they have a whole bunch of comments in the section of other phrases have worked for other people. And I just wanted you to have it because, my goodness, your health should not be something that you, that is holding you back and keeping you from being it till you see it. And as you know, on the show, we've had multiple doctors on here before. We've had Lindsay Moore on here to talk about how to advocate for yourself. We've had Jessica Valant who talks about advocating for yourself. We've had the FemGevity people who work as telemedicine help for for women in multiple states in the U.S. So we, at this podcast, like, I really am trying, like, how do we get more doctors to you, to help you be till you see it? Because sometimes it's our health that's keeping us from these wins and from doing the thing we want to do, and holding us back. And then you get to the doctor, and they don't listen to you, that can be infuriating. So I hope those phrases help. I really, I had to advocate myself when I was having health issues, because I was like, let's just wait and see. Oh, it's not that bad. You probably just have IBS. And it's like, no, I don't have IBS. That's not a thing. I don't have that and so, but I would, but instead of, like, having a nice phrase to say, like, I have done all the things for IBS, and it has not, the symptoms have gotten worse, like that phrase would have gotten their attention, or, you know, things like that. So anyways, I hope, I hope that's helpful. I hope that helps you when on your next appointment, so you can be seen and taken care of, so you can go be the person you want to be. Lesley Logan 5:00  Okay, your wins. Okay. This is from Heather Ingram. She is an eLevate grad, Agency member, and just all around badass person. And she wrote FYF, one of my clients who comes one time a week, does homework three to four times a week. So she does her Pilates homework three to four times a week. She's loving my new Contrology apparatus since I switched from the Allegro Tower of Power the last three sessions, she is amazed at how much connection she feels, and that it feels so much harder, but in a good way. Today, she said running feels like a real running too. I was so nervous to make a big change from an Allegro to a Contrology for fear of resistance or client concern in my boutique home studio, another client commented how much safer she feels in rushing splits and tendon stretch, since she has to do all the work, but now rocks the Reformer teaser for the first time, I personally felt like Pilates so is now so much harder as fuck in my own body. But I'm loving all the curiosity and my own body and my clients. I'm glad I made the leap in my teaching journey. I just want to acknowledge, like, even if you guys don't even know what those words are Tower of Power or Contrology apparatus. Like, we've all had to, like, felt this urge to, like, make a change in our life, right? Like, maybe it's your schedule or it's your job, or it's where you're gonna live, or all these things, and we're like, oh my God, and you don't know how it's gonna be on the other side, you just feel like it could be better. And then, you know those concerns that, like, the negative person's gonna come in and, like, go, oh, I like the other thing better. And like, so you could, like, go, oh my God, did I make the right decision. You could doubt yourself. And so I love that Heather saw out these comments as wins, that she made the right decision. And I just wanna say, if you are someone who's making a switch or change in your life, seek out the compliments and try, because what will happen is your brain will actually be on the alert for the person who's going to say, this sucks. And you go, yeah, you're right. It does suck. And really and really know like that person just thinks everything sucks, right? So anyways, I just wanted to share that win, because I think we can all like we can all relate to that a bit, right? Lesley Logan 7:04  Okay, Joanne Sutton, she's from Agency. She's in Australia. She's amazing. She's got a great book out. We've had wins from her on her book. And she wrote, I was feeling down about my finances, so I have a few clients away for many weeks, and some large unexpected expenses. So I started worrying. I knew I needed to pull myself out of this dangerous worry state. So I wrote down all my financial wins for the year in a notebook. There were so many. The more I wrote down, the more grateful I felt, and I realized my situation was so much better than I thought it was. They included things like raising my rates, paying off my tax statement, plan early, getting a new client, selling Thera bands, etc. I'm no longer worrying and still feel I and still feeling grateful for everything I have and celebrating each new financial win as it comes along. I have a new client booked in for an initial assessment, as I mentioned above, she read my book a year ago, which she describes as a fascinating and signed up for my free book bonuses, which means she also gets my fortnightly newsletter. So after a year, she subscribed to my on demand videos and wants to have the initial assessment next month, which she has already paid for. She's in the U.K. and I'm in Sydney, Australia. My client journey really worked. I just like, I'm just obsessed with this, Joanne, because first of all, like, let's just go back to your first win, which is about, like, going, oh my god, I have all these bills. Oh my god, all this is happening. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. Like, ah, you know, I live in the States, and like, every thing on every time I open my phone the news widget is like, I got something financial for me to worry about. And it's so easy, as someone who's like, tendency to upper limit is by worry, to go in that worry zone. And I love that you went into the gratitude zone, and I love that you started to write down things that were financial gratitudes, and that allowed you to see, like, actually, like, what's going on right now for you sucks, but you have done all this, so look at how much you have done so you can handle this. You can totally handle this. And a year ago, you did something so scary, you published a book, and someone saw it, and we never get to determine how long it takes someone to sign up for something, but the fact that you were so consistent with your newsletters, even with everything that's going on in your life, so that she could when she was ready to make the decision, make the decision, contact you. You have to be so proud of yourself. Your consistency is what got her there, right? It's so amazing. Like there's always gonna be reasons why we don't do the thing, why we don't send the newsletter, why we don't do the post, there's always a reason, but the fact that you had consistency there allowed this person to feel safe and sign up and like, that's just going to fill those financial problems that are momentarily, momentarily happening. Yeah. So anyways, thank you, both ladies, for sharing these things so we can see, like, ah, gratitudes. Like, never underestimate them. Lesley Logan 9:38  Okay, my win. Okay. In May, I know this is June, but in May, I didn't get to celebrate with you guys, yet, my husband goes on a camping trip with his friends, and they always want me to go, like they always, they always want me to go. And I was going to go, and then they changed the date, so it was going to be difficult for me to go. And then they went the original dates, and then they changed dates. It was like a hard no, can't do it. I was leading the eLevate Cadillac weekend, which means it's like the halfway point, I would have about eight different people at the house from the two different groups, and so it was just gonna be a lot and I mean, not a lot. It was amazing. I love doing it. It's a lot, but it's really fun for me. However, I, I was like, oh, I can't go on this trip now, because this is happening, and my win is, I actually was like, okay, but what do I get to do? Because I don't get to go on this trip, but I also get to have a weekend doing whatever I want when I'm not teaching this group of people. Amazing. My husband took Bayon so I actually also had a weekend dog-free. So I was just like, I was like, a single girl for like, four days. I'm gonna tell you right now, I did all the things that I never get to do, and I'm like, I have to think about the dogs. Do I have to go back to this? Oh, does Brad want to come like I did everything, like a single woman would do it, and I fucking loved it, not that I but I'm not saying like I would love being single. I would never love that. I love my partner so much, and I love my dog so much, but like, I just took advantage of four days, and also, like that allowed me to be so much even more focused on the women who came to the house for the eLevate weekend. And then also for those who are on the Zoom, I could be so much more focused for them. So, a huge win. And just like, yeah, I took myself on a girls night. Fuck yeah, I did.Lesley Logan 11:17  You know, I ate at the places I wanted to eat. I had girl dinner, which for me is eggs and tater tots, sweet potato tater tots, sweet potato tater tots, to be specific. So, like I did all that, guilt free. So fun. And so you know, if you needed to hear that a girl's night is a freaking win, like a solo girls night is a win, or a girls night with your girlfriends is a win. It is. These are hard things to do. Should I, I could have cleaned out my closet, and if I had I could call that a win, but I really wanted to take the weekend and do like, whatever I wanted to do, and so I did. That's my win. I love it. Lesley Logan 11:48  Okay, let's get you a mantra, and then get you on your day. My heart is open to helpfulness for myself and others. My heart is open to helpfulness for myself and others. My heart is open to helpfulness for myself and others. You guys, are you receiving?

And unfortunately, when you skip ahead, you miss out on like the muscle strength and experience you need for where you're going to go. So then when you get there, not only are you further along than you are strong enough to be, but now you don't have the skill set to handle the problems you have. Lesley Logan 0:18  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  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 sustainable convo I had with Stephanie O'Dea in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened that episode, you need to, as part of a slow living request, you got to go rush over and just make it.Brad Crowell 1:17  Just rush right now, get over there. Lesley Logan 1:20  Do not pass go. You gotta listen to it. She's so great. She's so fun. I got to be on her podcast as well. But also she's like, a famous, like, slow-cooking person, like she's.Brad Crowell 1:30  Yeah, Crock-Pot. Lesley Logan 1:31  Just the famous Crock-Pot. Brad Crowell 1:33  Not insta-pot. Lesley Logan 1:33  Yeah, no. Brad Crowell 1:34  She was very upset about the Instant Pot. Lesley Logan 1:37  She was and we were really in on the insta-pot, but we got off the insta-pot, we like made soup.Brad Crowell 1:44  Yeah, still do occasionally. It's good times. Lesley Logan 1:47  Just whenever we're home when it's soup weather. Speaking of what day today is, today is June 19th 2025 and it's Juneteenth here in the United States. The freedom of African Americans from slavery in the U.S. in 1865 is celebrated on the holiday Juneteenth on June 19th. Juneteenth is made up of the words June and 19th. Brad Crowell 2:06  Case you didn't know.Lesley Logan 2:08  Just, whoever writes these, it's always just the explanation of the day, using the day you can't. Brad Crowell 2:15  It's celebrated every year on this day. Lesley Logan 2:17  Yes, yes. And it is on this day that Major General Gordon Granger, wow, arrived in Texas, more than 155 years ago, to inform slaves that slavery had been abolished. Today is also.Brad Crowell 2:31  Yeah, well I just want to comment on that because, because they just ignored the messengers and they were like, nah, we're good. We're gonna keep doing.Lesley Logan 2:41  Not the slaves, the bad people. Brad Crowell 2:43  Yeah, the slavers. They were like, yeah, we're just gonna keep going. And then they, they sent, well, actually, I don't, I actually, don't know who first, who came first. It's possible that Gordon Granger got there to make the initial announcement, and then later it had to be enforced.Lesley Logan 3:01  Yeah, this is something that the day didn't give us information on. And I feel like I've read about, here's what I do, every Juneteenth I actually read about it and I find myself appalled that this happened. And then also, of course, it didn't, and also the time we're recording this. Brad Crowell 3:15  Also, of course it did what? Lesley Logan 3:16  I said at the time that we're recording this. Brad Crowell 3:18  No, no, before that you said. Lesley Logan 3:19  Of course, it did, of course, bad things. Of course it happened because they're shitty people. Of course it happened. But on this time that we are recording this, because the day after a very, very huge slave, like the largest slave sugar plantation, slave house burned to the ground, it was turned into a wedding venue, and so people are having those antebellum weddings, and it's like humongous tons of rooms like but was one of the worst slave places in Louisiana, and it burned to the ground. And I have to say, people are celebrating the fuck out of it online. And I have no problems with that. In fact, I have why I like was celebrating and smiling with them every reel of every person, like dancing and going, oh, do you need some water? And then pouring away from the fire. I was like, yes, yes to all of it. Because, I mean, I just, it's just, it's bad. So anyways, please make sure that you are honoring Juneteenth today. Take some time to read up on it. If you didn't know about it. We obviously still have some learning to do, but it's an important day. Brad Crowell 4:25  Remember this general. Major General. Lesley Logan 4:27  Yeah, Major General Gordon Granger. Brad Crowell 4:30  That's a mouthful. Lesley Logan 4:30  That is a mouthful. I mean, his parents didn't name him Major General, so.Brad Crowell 4:37  Fortunately for his parents. Lesley Logan 4:38  What if he become a ranger? Then he'd be Ranger Granger. Brad Crowell 4:42  Major General Gordon Granger Ranger. Lesley Logan 4:44  No, he would have just been a ranger. It would have been Ranger Granger. All right, today is also the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence and Conflict for everyone else there, out there in the world. So we wanted to, because it's an international show and so on this International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence and Conflict is observed every year on June 19th to raise awareness about sexual violence and conflict and to strategize ways to end these crimes throughout the world. On June 19th 2015, United Nations General Assembly proclaimed the date as the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence and Conflict. This date commemorates the adoption of Security Council Resolution 1820 in which the Council condemned sexual violence as a tactic of war and an impediment to peace building. Yeah, wow. Brad Crowell 5:31  Yeah, this one's heavy. Lesley Logan 5:32  It's a heavy day. Brad, these are heavy. Brad Crowell 5:35  Yeah. I mean, you know, like, I listen to a lot of deep dive interviews about the conflicts in Europe, you know, and then a. Lesley Logan 5:45  Oh, it's terrible what they do. Brad Crowell 5:46  In the Middle East and in Africa. And, you know, like they're using rape as a tool of war in. Lesley Logan 5:54  So many countries. Brad Crowell 5:55  In the Ukraine, you know, in, in, it's historically.Lesley Logan 6:01  Yeah, it's happening. It's happened. It's happened for centuries and it happens everywhere, and it is horrifying. So I think it's, think it's, I can't believe it took till 2015 for the world to be like, this is a bad thing. Brad Crowell 6:16  Well, I mean, it's been, you know, it's a war crime. It's been war crime for a really long time. But yeah, maybe just this, you know, the day bringing awareness to it. Lesley Logan 6:27  Do you know who then, who gets to be the court for war crimes, like, who does it? Brad Crowell 6:33  Yeah. So there's the International Criminal Court, the ICC. Lesley Logan 6:37  Oh. Brad Crowell 6:37  Yeah and we're not a part of it, we don't honor the ICC as the United States of America, which is a complicated political decision. Lesley Logan 6:47  We are winning. We are winning in the history books right now, guys. Well, you know what? I think we need to bring this day up a little bit. So first of all, I think Juneteenth is like a positive holiday, right? Brad Crowell 7:04  Yeah, Juneteenth is a positive holiday. I think that it's important to remember, but also it's a day of celebration. So, love that. Lesley Logan 7:12  Okay. And. Brad Crowell 7:13  We can talk more about the ICC later, y'all, if you're really interested.Lesley Logan 7:16  I don't think anyone came here. We'll get Brad his own segment at the end. Brad Crowell 7:21  I listen to a lot of this kind of stuff, and, you know, it's interesting, it's interesting why we chose not to be, you know, part of it, but also we still. Lesley Logan 7:30  Well, because we would be in trouble for war crimes all the time. Brad Crowell 7:32  We would be in trouble for war crimes. That's right.Lesley Logan 7:34  Yes, that's right, okay, but you know what's happening that's going to be more fun than all this talk? July.Brad Crowell 7:42  Slow living. Lesley Logan 7:44  July 9th, we are hosting, wait, oh, we are doing this. Yes, okay. Brad Crowell 7:50  Yeah, this is actually happening. Lesley Logan 7:52  Okay, but there's a few things going on and July is very busy. Brad Crowell 7:54  July is a busy month for us. Lesley Logan 7:54  So, so it's June right now, obviously, Juneteenth, but July 9th, I am hosting an eLevate workout and Q&A. So if you're a Pilates instructor, this is a free workout. It's a way to get your questions about eLevate, my mentorship, answered. You can hear from people who've done eLevate and why they like it and why you should do it, because you shouldn't take it from me. You can take it from the people who've been part of it. So you want to go to lesleylogan.co/elevatewaitlist lesleylogan.co/elevatewaitlist. Then on July 17th, we are doing an Agency Mini. Guess we are bringing it back for Pilates instructors and studio owners. Brad Crowell 8:30  Yeah, that's exciting. Lesley Logan 8:30  If you remember, we used to, up until last year, do it a little week long coaching program for Pilate instructors and studio owners. And we loved it, and it was amazing, and then we stopped doing it, and we're like, we're never doing it again, because it was there's parts of it that were amazing, were amazing, and some of the parts were overwhelming, and they were overwhelming. Brad Crowell 8:48  Yeah, not just for us, but also for the attendees. Lesley Logan 8:51  Mostly, for, yeah, it was less about there's less about us, more, so we have been working behind the scenes on making some amazing changes, and now we have a new Mini. Brad Crowell 9:01  We've got a mini Mini, but we're just still calling it Mini, yeah, but yeah, it's only three days, not seven. Lesley Logan 9:06  Yes. And you get all the best parts of Mini, which is a workshop on how to actually attract clients you want to work with. Then you get to use Lesley on Demand, this amazing tool. So we'll help you with your I Help statement. And then you get to join office hours with Brad and I, includes breath work, and we're going to answer all the running questions about your business on this call. It's so much fun. You can see if Agency is right for you, but also you can get questions answered. And, you know, take that information with you. Brad Crowell 9:31  Just come party about your biz. It's gonna be good. Go to prfit.biz/mini prfit.biz/mini yeah.Lesley Logan 9:39  And then July, yeah, I believe we actually start on the 24th but maybe we start on the 25th Don't ask me. We start end of July, and we go to August 17th, and it's the OPC Summer Tour. You're gonna go to opc.me/tour to get your tickets for and see the cities we're going to. We are going up.Brad Crowell 9:58  We teach in Phoenix on the 25th So we could go down on the 24th.Lesley Logan 10:01  Oh, okay, cool. You know, we'll do whatever. Maybe we'll go to the Oatman Ranch and we'll go play with the donkeys. Brad Crowell 10:08  I don't remember that. ILesley Logan 10:10  Yeah, I told you about it. I told you about it. Brad Crowell 10:12  Oatman. Lesley Logan 10:12  I think it's called Oatman. Um, anyways, um, you guys, we're gonna start in Phoenix, and we go to San Diego, then it's Los Angeles, and it's Santa Barbara, and then maybe a city in between, and then San Francisco, and then Sacramento, and then Eureka, and then Portland and Seattle, Vancouver, yes, you just heard Vancouver, Canada, and then Kamloops, Canada and Calgary, Canada. And then we're gonna come down into Idaho and Utah. Brad Crowell 10:42  We're gonna swing through Montana for a bit. We want to see glacier. Lesley Logan 10:45  Well, for vacation, yeah, so, but, you know. Brad Crowell 10:48  We'll be posting about a coffee shop and white fish, probably. Lesley Logan 10:52  Yeah. Well, at any rate, you want to go to opc.me/tour to snag your tickets. And by the way, we end in Las Vegas, and that class already sold out. Brad Crowell 10:59  I know it's insane. I can't believe it. Bam. Lesley Logan 11:02  24 hours. Class sold out. We already have. Brad Crowell 11:03  20 seats in. Lesley Logan 11:04  Yeah. Brad Crowell 11:05  That's. Lesley Logan 11:06  Well, we did tell them if they wanted us to come, and they did. Yeah, yeah, opc.me/tour of course, we are sponsored again by Balanced Body and Contrology. We're bringing our Contrology equipment. It's gonna be so much fun. Then in September we are going to be in the U.K. We have two amazing stops, Leeds and Essex. Leeds, you can get two day pass there. There's only three spots left, so. Brad Crowell 11:31  Only three spots left in Leeds. Lesley Logan 11:33  At the time that we're recording. So we're recording this, obviously, before Juneteenth, so you never know. And then in Essex, we actually opened up the day passes, because we're doing Essex on a Tuesday and a Wednesday. So you could do an all day Tuesday. Brad Crowell 11:44  You'll come out for the day from the city. Lesley Logan 11:46  All day Wednesday. We know it's not easy to get two days away during the week, but also it's really hard to get away on the weekends, so we offered you two options, during the weekend, on the weekends, opc.me/uk that's where you want to go. And then, of course, in October and come with us to Cambodia. Holy moly, we are insanity. Have you heard this, this schedule, and then he wanted to take me camping in here, guys. Brad Crowell 12:08  Oh, we're going. Lesley Logan 12:08  We're going camping, apparently. Brad Crowell 12:10  Yeah, we're going camping somewhere in there. Lesley Logan 12:11  Very expensive storage that we live in sometimes. So Cambodia. Brad Crowell 12:16  Oh, you mean our house?Lesley Logan 12:17  Yeah, I love it so much. But Cambodia is you'll have, you'll be at our house in Cambodia, and we do retreat, stuff and workshops and temple tours. Brad Crowell 12:28  Oh men, it's just gonna be amazing. Lesley Logan 12:30  So go to crowsnestretreats.com crowsnestretreats.com. The plural is on the crows and the retreats, but not the nest. So there you go. All right, before we got to get to Stephanie, but before we get there, Brad, do we have a question to answer?Brad Crowell 12:44  We do @creativesoulpilates on Instagram asked, hey LL, are you coming down to the IE anytime soon? IE is Inland Empire, which is Southern California. Basically, it's between Los Angeles and Riverside so, or I think actually, I think actually, Riverside is also considered IE.Lesley Logan 13:04  I think that Riverside is the IE, is it also, is Covina the IE? Brad Crowell 13:07  Covina and West Covina, I think they're south of L.A. I don't think they're technically IE. Lesley Logan 13:12  Like the Orange County. Brad Crowell 13:13  Closer to Orange County, I believe. Lesley Logan 13:14  Well, anyways. Brad Crowell 13:16  If I'm wrong, hit me. Let me know. Lesley Logan 13:20  If you all want to know L.A. well, go watch Everybody's in L.A. Just watch, at least the first episode. Brad Crowell 13:25  You know what, I'm 1,000% wrong. Covina is directly south of Glendora and Azusa, so it's where the 15 cuts down. Nope, it's not the 15. So it's towards Pomona. It's the beginning of IE, West Covina and Covina are like the beginning of the San Bernardino Valley, I think.Lesley Logan 13:46  Well, at any rate, to answer your question, we are not going to be anywhere near the IE, we are going to be in Toluca Lake. I guess that's not far from the IE, but it is. We are going to be, basically, we're in the valley of Los Angeles, close to Burbank. Right? Toluca Lake is like Burbank. Brad Crowell 14:01  Toluca Lake is Studio City, Burbank. It's between the two near Van Nuys, like, yeah. Lesley Logan 14:07  It's gonna be on our West Coast Pop Up Tour. Brad Crowell 14:09  I'm so excited. Lesley Logan 14:10  I know. Brad Crowell 14:11  I freaking love Los Angeles so much, and I cannot wait to just be back. Like, I literally used to live, like, two streets that were from where the studio is.Lesley Logan 14:20  Well, and also, for years, we're actually using the studio that we did the Accessories Flash Card photo shoot at. So I actually got to live in this part of L.A. for a week and now I can say I lived in that part of the valley. It's really, really fun. So we had Strong Body, but it's part of our summer tour. And so you got to come, because here's the deal. We, when we go to L.A. we typically go to hang out with friends, and we pretty much try to avoid working as much as possible, but because we're on tour. Brad Crowell 14:47  It's true. Lesley Logan 14:47  And we want an excuse to see L.A. again, we are making a stop as we're going by so go to opc.me/la for tickets to the L.A. event. Or if you go to opc.me/tour, you'll see San Diego, Santa Barbara. You know, because people who live in L.A. also live very far from the center of L.A., typically, so like Poway, as the San Diego city. So you know, there's some really good stuff. But thanks, you guys. You guys, we have a really easy place for you to send your questions in. You can text us at 310-905-5534, or you can actually submit your questions or a win at beitpod.com/questions. Brad Crowell 15:27  That's right beitpod.com/questions.Lesley Logan 15:28  Now you can just do it there, and it's so easy and you can be anonymous if you want to.

So it's we could have called it quest wins.Brad Crowell 16:01  Quest wins. We could have, we could have really gone over well with trying to figure out how to spell that. Lesley Logan 16:07  All right. All right.Brad Crowell 16:08  Well, look, stick around, this, we're going to talk about slow living. This, this break will be fast, but the, but the conversation about Stephanie O'Dea is going to be really exciting. So we'll be right back. Brad Crowell 16:21  All right. Now, welcome back. Let's talk about Stephanie O'Dea. She's a writer, she's a coach, she's a teacher and a speaker who helps people embrace slow living. Lesley Logan 16:30  She's a teacher and a speaker. I like how that sounded. Brad Crowell 16:33  She's a teacher, teacher and a speaker. Her journeys began in 2008 on a viral blog where she used her Crock-Pot every single day for an entire year, landed her on national TV and got her a book deal, and that, she said, that journey lasted for about eight years before things really changed with the introduction of the Instant Pot. Fascinating. She said, when that, when that trend rose, she realized faster isn't always better. After stepping back to unplug, she discovered her true gift was helping others reach their goals in a slow, steady and sustainable way, a mission she now shares through her Slow Living podcast. Lesley Logan 17:13  I, so, so first of all, okay, I would just have to say, I was on her pod, and I was like, okay, like, this is great, you know, this is wonderful. And I really enjoyed her. I thought she was so sweet. And then she came on the pod, and, like, I was like, I'm in the presence of, like, a celebrity, like I and I was like, oh my God, she's, I'm sure, like your mom and your grandma and, like all these people, probably like, no, she is. And I'm sitting here going, oh my God, who are you? Oh God.Brad Crowell 17:48  Well, she, not only that, she is really fun. Lesley Logan 17:53  Oh yeah. Brad Crowell 17:53  And, like, snarky, and, you know, like the things that she was saying, she's got a lot of experience. You know, going through life. And I appreciated it, and I enjoyed it. And it was, it was, it was a really great conversation. In fact, I feel like it's probably a conversation, y'all, that you would want to save. So if you have not had a chance to go back and listen, I would recommend it. But. Lesley Logan 18:20  So slow living, you guys, stands for look only within. So, like, trusting your inner voice and intuition to find answers. And I really love that we talked about, like, slow living is meeting your goals. It meets all of them, but it just says it like, as you said in the bio, like in this nice, sustainable way, some of us are, like, really trying to make things happen fast. And this one book that I read every morning was like whenever we're trying to make things happen fast, but it usually means we want to skip ahead. And unfortunately, when you skip ahead, you miss out on like the muscle strength and experience you need for where you're going to go. So then when you get there, not only are you further along than you are strong enough to be, but now you don't have the skill set to handle the problems you have, and so that's why you don't get to skip ahead. So I really do believe it's sustainable to hit your goals in a way that is steady and allows you to evaluate and you and trust your gut intuition. And she said, she encouraged you to decide your next best step when you're in a good mood and not when you're feeling down. And I was like, that is so common sense and fucking brilliant.Brad Crowell 19:24  Yeah. No, that makes total sense. I mean, when we make decisions in a bad place, you know, we're making reactionary decisions. We're not making proactionary decisions. I just wanted to throw out there the 34% Rotten Tomatoes review on an Adam Sandler movie from 2006 called Click. Lesley Logan 19:44  There, okay. Brad Crowell 19:45  Which is exactly what you're just describing. It's all about how he somehow got a magic remote that fast forwarded through what, at the time, he was like all the bullshit so that he can get to what he wants to do in his life.Lesley Logan 20:00  Oh, but then, and then he got there and he missed everything. Brad Crowell 20:03  He missed everything. Lesley Logan 20:04  Yeah, yeah. I was in sixth grade, or fifth grade, when I read a story about a little boy who had this magic string, and he could just pull the string and it could, like, skip ahead. So like, he was, like, not ready for a test, so like, he pulled the string and he like, skipped ahead. Now he's in next grade. And then he, like, pulled the string a little bit more. And then he was in high school and, like, it's the same thing, I think, Click just came from the story of this little kid who pulled the string too much. At any rate, I, I wanted to say, like, going back to the good mood or bad mood. Sometimes when I'm in my email inbox, I start to get a little overwhelmed. Because, like, the only emails I have to respond to often require a little bit of research, of like, they're like, like, someone's asking me to do this event, and I already said I would do it, but I have given them rates before, and they like, want rates again, and they asked for my rates to be lowered, and I but, but they were like, oh, can we get your rates? And also, like, this is our first time so it would be great if you could lower your rates to help us support this event. And I was immediately pissed. I was so pissed off because I was like, what are you talking about? Like, what? And so I was like, and so, you know, I got this email. I'm really behind on my emails. I'm gonna you will have response from me by the end of this week. And I was like, because nothing good is going to come from what I want to say in this moment. And I just need to be able to get angry and feel my feelings, and also go, well, why am I in a bad mood now? Like, what happened? Well, it's not intentional. She personally did not intend to piss me off in any way, but it's the, this is, by the way, guys, this is like a constant, like, I'm asked is my inbox is mostly people asking me to do free things, or to negotiate the rates I say of things and so. Brad Crowell 21:50  Or to partner up, which means. Lesley Logan 21:52  Partner up, which means do it for free. Brad Crowell 21:53  Do it for free. Lesley Logan 21:54  And so, it's, so by the time I got to this email, I had already had gone through like seven people wanting to do things for free, and then this person wants to pay me, but not as much and I was like, I gotta walk away, because I have an appropriate response. I'm sure we can get to a place where it's gonna work for both of us. But I just was angry. And so, so it's always better if you're not in a good place to just like, give yourself a permission. And this goes to slow living, if, if my response to her at the end of the week means she can't work with me, then I don't. It wasn't for me, you know, like, like, slow living, like, I really love what Stephanie's talking about, because we used to live that fast pace. Do, do, do, do, do. We were in Australia, then Spain, then, then New York, then U.K. and it's like, and I don't actually want to do that anymore, and so, so I think it's like, really. Brad Crowell 22:47  We have tried to be more intentional. Before it was like, oh, you're willing to pay us, we'll be there, even if it's like, stupid, you know, for us to travel that way. Lesley Logan 22:56  Also, by the way, when you're new in an industry or new at a thing, I do think that you need to get your feet wet. I do think you need to, I want to make sure, like, I don't want any Pilates instructors like working for free, but I also sometimes you do, and so I think, like, I never flew anywhere for free, but I definitely wouldn't travel for the rates I used to travel on. However, I because I was willing to say yes to things and learn from those experience. I could keep changing my contract had I had my current situation set up now, well, one, I wouldn't know all the things I wouldn't have known all the things that drive me crazy when I travel, and it's like, no, I do need my own hotel room, and I actually do need pistachio milk for my coffee or something like, I know that, what I need, right? I sound like Mariah Carey. But, you know what? I know why Mariah Carey is now like that, because sometimes you don't have what you need, and then you perform at your best and you don't have it. So I wouldn't know all the things that really helped me be the person I am had I not gone through that stuff. So I don't think anyone should skip ahead. But also, at some point you have to go, okay, hold on. Do I need this, right? So anyways, I also just want to say share, to quote, discipline is just choosing between what you want now and what you want most, and just going back to like you saying like now we're more intentional. It's like, it can be really flattering to be asked to do certain things and so, but also, what do we want most? And so is it like, is that part of the most, or is that actually just flattering? And then, you know, so you all have to decide, like, when you're saying yes or doing things like, what is ahead? Is it on the journey what you want most? But I really liked her, her definition, her quote of discipline, because most people think it's like, means like. Brad Crowell 24:41  But she was full of them. Lesley Logan 24:42  She was so, I mean, there's so much stuff I have to go.Brad Crowell 24:45  She defined FOMO as Figure Only Myself Out. Figure Only Myself Out. So, meaning, stop the comparison game, where we're probably scrolling the gram and then beating ourselves up about it, right? And she said, she also said, it's not too late to start now, right? So you can, instead of FOMO, as in, you're missing, you know, you're not doing what they're doing on Instagram. FOMO is figuring only myself out. What do you want to do? You know? How are you going to get you know? What is your path? Where are you going? You know, and you can start to figure that stuff out today. She said, Start pivoting. It's time. Let's do this, right? She also emphasized, setbacks are normal. And she said something that I laughed about, because we are, one of the things that we say a lot in OPC is, if you only have five minutes, just do five moves, you know, like, don't, don't make a big thing out of not having time. And we just had somebody quit the other day, oh, I only was able to log into class once this week, you know, and I'm barely getting to it, right, and so they quit their entire membership, you know. And now I'm, like, thinking that I'm gonna email her back and say, hey, that's okay, you know, like, think about that, even if you came, you know, only five minutes in a week, would it be worth it to start now and be consistent with five minutes and then consistent with 10 minutes.Lesley Logan 26:26  And also, like, what are you going to do without it? You're going to somehow be better at doing your Pilates some, somewhere, somewhere else, no you're not. Brad Crowell 26:33  No, clearly you're not. Clearly, if they can't log in at home, they're obviously not going to a studio to do it, right? Lesley Logan 26:40  And also, some people actually only do it once a week, and that's fine. Like, I only log into Max HBO on Sundays for John Oliver. Like, you know what I mean? Like, and I don't go. So I think we have to stop putting so much pressure on ourselves that it has to be all or nothing. If that's how you're living your life, you're going to miss out on a lot of things.Brad Crowell 26:59  Yeah. And Stephanie said, you know, if you're doing a 30-day challenge, but it takes you 45 days. You did not fail. You still did the challenge. You did it on your time, and that's okay. Lesley Logan 27:12  That's FOMO, Figuring Only Myself Out. Brad Crowell 27:15  That's right, yeah. And she said, you'd be way more proud of yourself for going even if you have to take a day off, right? I was just thinking about the video you showed me last night about the one-legged. Lesley Logan 27:28  The Pope, yes. Brad Crowell 27:29  No, no, but that's funny. The one-legged athlete.Lesley Logan 27:33  Yes, the Nike girl. Brad Crowell 27:35  Yeah, who, the reason that she is now the Nike girl is because she entered herself into a competition. She, she has a, like, a bionic leg. I don't really know what all the right terms are there, but she's, she, she was trying to do a.Lesley Logan 27:54  Looks like a thrust, a clean.Brad Crowell 27:57  Yeah, she was trying to do a clean with a barbell, right, and. Lesley Logan 28:00  That's hard with two legs, I'm just gonna be really honest, and she has one leg that doesn't really bend like her other leg does, so, yeah. Brad Crowell 28:06  So she, so she, she's in the middle of a stadium with all these people, everyone's watching. There's, like, you know, all the things, and she's being filmed, and she doesn't know she's being filmed, and she, she fails. She fails. She like, gets it halfway up and just can't go and drops the bar. And she's frustrated with herself, she's like, okay. Lesley Logan 28:24  She's also starting to cry and really emotional. Brad Crowell 28:27  So she, she drops the bar. Well, she leans back over. She's like, all right, I got it. She, you literally can see her say shit, you know, on this video, right? And, and there's no audio to it, but she's like, shit. So she leans over, and she tries again and she fails again, and it's this point that she, like, totally breaks. Obviously, she's been frustrated all day long, and she breaks, and she literally starts crying, and she and it's super emotional, right? And she leans over and she like, puts her head on her arms, and she, you could see herself make the decision, I'm not going to quit here. I'm going to get this, through this even though I probably have disqualified myself already from whatever this competition is, because I didn't get it up on the first try, I didn't get it up on the second try, and she tries a third time, and she succeeds. And it is like this heartfelt, amazing experience. And I, I have to imagine that she is more proud of herself for finishing, completing it, for being just making the decision to stay with it, than she was, you know, than, obviously, she quit, she would, she'd be beating herself up. Lesley Logan 29:40  Well and I think first of all, I got chills and emotional just like thinking about it, because I like, every time I watch, I've watched it multiple times. And trust me, you guys, she's on a list of like, okay, I gotta email her publicist. I gotta get her on the pod. I have so many questions. But everyday, I talk to women who are beating themselves up for how little they've done, that they think they've done, which, by the way, is more than most people will do in a day, right? And it.Brad Crowell 30:08  Specially moms. Lesley Logan 30:08  Frustrates me, because none, never have you ever shamed yourself into doing the thing you said you were going to do. It doesn't work. That is not how our brains work. Our brains avoid shame and judgment. It doesn't feel good, it doesn't bring your dopamine up. It's not what motivates your brain to do shit. And so we have to do some FOMO, figuring out myself, figuring my own self out, and start congratulating ourselves we did fucking five minutes. You know, like, first of all, if you don't, no one else is. No one else is going to come up and congratulate you on things that they don't know have happened and they won't know have happened. That's why we do the FYFs. And it is, do you know how many people won't share their wins? I don't want to share, it's so small. Okay, but you do understand that that's going to inspire someone else. So, anyways, be nice to yourself. Get the FOMO.Brad Crowell 31:02  Be nice to yourself. Lesley Logan 31:03  The new FOMO. Brad Crowell 31:06  You know, I think that decision to stay with it, to be consistent, will, will be so much more gratifying over the long run, even if it's smaller increments than you know, whatever the prescribed amount is, or whatever that thing is, you know. So, that, I love this FOMO, I love this idea of figuring only myself out. It helps get rid of that comparison energy, you know, and create a safe space for you to succeed in, so, very cool. Very, very cool. All right, stick around. We'll be right back. We're gonna cover those Be It Action Items from Stephanie O'Dea. Brad Crowell 31:48  Okay, welcome back. Finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What are the bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Stephanie O'Dea? She said, hey, funny enough, I'm gonna tell you to journal, but I'm gonna tell you how to journal in a very structured way. Lesley Logan 32:07  I, but I also, it's the only person I let journal, like, say journal, so.Brad Crowell 32:12  So it's funny because, I mean, I've heard Lesley say this about four, well, three, 250 times now, hey, if you're going to tell you know, use journaling as your, your Be It Action Item, you have to give us a structure how to do it. And she started laughing, and she said, I can do that. In fact, she has a free guided daily journaling worksheet that you can print out and you can write on if you go to stephanieodea.com/daily we will put that link in the show notes, but she's a big proponent it gives you structure. It tells you how to journal, what to journal about. It gives you prompts. But she also specifically mentioned that picking up a pen and paper, or pencil and paper, is different than typing on a computer. It just puts you in a different mindset. I mean, she's a writer, right? She got a book deal, she wrote a blog for eight years about cooking, right? She's like, constantly, constantly writing. And so she definitely would know she's the authority. She said that her tool will help you get in the right mindset. It gives you action steps, consistent, and consistency, it builds the muscle of slow, sustainable growth. And she said, your brain engages differently when writing by hand, which I think is interesting, and it helps you move towards your goals, even in off days. Lesley Logan 33:35  And also, your handwriting does not have to be good for it to actually still do the thing it does with your brain. I write things down which I like, which is why I like my reMarkable tablet. I actually don't even need to look at the tablet again. I remember it, but I. Brad Crowell 33:48  That's how I used to study for tests, hard copy my own notes. Lesley Logan 33:51  My nails are too long now, and it's, it's really annoying to type things. I'm like, I'm trying to learn how to type with the nails that.Brad Crowell 33:59  Hi, buddy. Are you trying to learn how to type, too?Lesley Logan 34:01  Yeah, Bayon's learning how to type. He's also truly found his voice this week. He's. Brad Crowell 34:05  It's pretty funny. Lesley Logan 34:06  He's like, oh, I'm gonna bark at this thing. And it's like, never did. Brad Crowell 34:12  Well, yeah. Lesley Logan 34:12  Anyway. Brad Crowell 34:13  His trip to Joshua Tree was a win. Well, you know what one thing that she said that I that I laughed about. She said, look, once you get into a routine, if something changes the routine, it's okay, because you, she said, you are not a spreadsheet. And I was like, oh, that's a really good idea.Lesley Logan 34:37  There's actually a whole study on, you know how, to go back to the long intro we had about politics, there's a study that shows like the more rigid your thinking is, the more likely you are to get stuck in beliefs that are not serving you. And so I'm a big habits coach, mindset coach, all those different things, but you'll notice that, like, I'm always going, giving grace. Giving lots of grace and kind of rolling with it. And I really love what she said here, because I have a morning routine and I have three hours, but, I don't have, oh, I have to be out the door at 6:01, otherwise it's, like, I just get outside. Brad Crowell 35:13  Facing the ice bowl, rub the banana peel, 6:11, take the elevator from 6:17.Lesley Logan 35:20  Yeah, yeah. Brad Crowell 35:21  So dumb. Lesley Logan 35:22  Right? I don't live like that. I do have and I post my schedule of the day with my outfit of the day. I'm like, here's my outfit and here's the schedule. And it might look rigid, but you have to understand, like, most of the things on there take 20 minutes, but I gave it the full hour so that I can be flexible. I can, I can roll with it. If I need to have a little bit more time with something, if I want to take a longer walk, I can. If I have longer Pilates, I take a shorter walk. And so by not being rigid, allows my habits and routines be very malleable and to serve me and what I need that day. And I think that's really important. We're not a spreadsheet. Okay, there's so many, you guys have to listen to the episode because I'm, she actually gave us so many Be It Action Items, to be honest. So I'm just gonna take a few. Celebrate your process, even if it's not linear. We actually have talked about that 17 times on this episode already today. So you celebrate your process, even if, it won't be linear, it is impossible. It never is, don't, you don't have to read the book. Go look at the cover of the book, called The Middle. The Messy Middle. It's bright yellow. When you see the graph, that graph of it going up down, up down, up down. It's like a heart rate monitor, and it's going up, but it's always going up, even though it might go down way lower than it did. And it goes up, Brad's looking at it right now, down, up, down. But like.Brad Crowell 36:34  It's not even a graph. It's like a squiggly line that goes in a square, in a circle and a triangle. Lesley Logan 36:38  Yeah, but if you take a bigger picture, it goes to the end. It's always going up. It's like the stock market. The stock market is not linear on the app, it goes up and down, up and down, up and down. But guess what? It always ends up. It's up, right? So hopefully, I don't know what it is today, guys. Anyways, she also said, use gold stars, stickers or a visible chart to track your small wins. Yes, it's a behavior from childhood, charts from childhood, but it's very important. You need to see it visibly. And then she said, choose non-food rewards, like a cozy nap or a pedicure or something like that. Like the things that you feel like are indulgent and you would never do, those should be your rewards. Make a list of them. That's what my therapist really had me do. And then she also reminded us, you can absolutely get to where you want to go, but you have to trust in yourself that you can do that and you'll get there when you get there. I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 37:29  And I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan 37:29  Thank you so much for listening. What a longer recap we had today. We were very chatty, so we hope you enjoyed it.

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.Hello, Be It babe. Happy June 13th. Oh my God, it's Friday the 13th. That's so exciting. I just discovered that in this moment. So you guys, I am just so excited to be doing this podcast. I've been doing the FYFs more than a year now. This podcast is growing in a beautiful way, and I've just had some amazing guests. I hope you are listening to those interviews, because they're the best. And if you like the recaps before you listen to the interviews, that's fine too. I like a little sneak peek too. I guess I should also say this is a win. But like I did, watch the White Lotus Season Three without googling what happens at the end, because I was behind. So I could have and I was like, Lesley, you will just watch it, because typically, like when I watch any shows, if I get a little anxious or nervous, I will just do that. But that's not my win. I'll have another win, but first I have to celebrate things that are inspiring me. So these Friday episodes, I share things that inspired me. I share your wins. I share a win of mine. I give you a mantra. And these could also be mantras, but we're gonna do them as wins. Like this is an inspiring thing, so I have a bunch of quotes for you from different amazing women, and then I hope that you save them for yourself. So, Madeleine Albright said once, there's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women. Yeah, there is a special place. Nora Ephron said, above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim. Maya Angelou, each time a woman stands up for herself without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women. Oh, that feels good. Joan Baez, you don't get to choose how you're going to die or win. You can only decide how you're going to live now. Michelle Obama, when they go low, we go high. Malala, we realize the importance of our voices only when we are silenced. Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, well-behaved women seldom make history. That is true. There's a great book about, because she caused a riot, and I just it's all about like non-well-behaved women. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, women belong in all places where decisions are being made. Unknown, here's to strong women. May we know them? May we be them? May we raise them? Aretha Franklin, be your own artist, and always be confident what you're doing. If you're not going to be confident, you might as well not be doing it. I love this series of amazing, just inspiring quotes, and like the well-behaved women seldom make history, really, truly does inspire the heck out of me. I like see it in a neon sign, and I want it in my office. And that's just because, don't you think sometimes we need reminders? I mean, I think that's probably why I like do this podcast is like, so that you can have a reminder in your ears on your commute, something that, oh, I didn't realize that's a win. That's a win. I have wins in my life. Or oh, wow, I didn't realize that that thing that they said is a Be It Action Item is actually I do that already. I think sometimes we need that outside person to say, you are doing amazing, right? I hope that this podcast can be that for you. And so I hope that those different phrases, like save one and put it on a wall and put it somewhere, stitch it, I don't know, knit it on a pillow. Obviously on how to do things, but like, just whatever one like, really helps you show up for you. Because when you show up for you, as we know from past guests, you influence the bubble that's around you. You do. All right, let's talk about how you can influence each other. We got some wins to share with you. Okay, I got a few from Katie Donnelly, so she's gonna be our win for the day. Katie Donnelly, she's an Agency member. She's gonna be eLevate next year. She's someone I've known since her baby was born. So now I every time her baby is a different age, I'm like, oh my God, that's how long I've known you. And she put, bought my Google workspace for my new website and email address, katie@thepilatesdoula.com baby steps. I'm sharing that with you guys, because if you need a doula, here you go. Katie Donnelly. All right, also, Katie Donnelly posted about a new prenatal reformer class in a local moms group and all of these other wonderful perinatal professionals hyped me up. You guys. I don't have the image, but she did post it, and it was just like several different women talking about how amazing Katie is. And these are like, perinatal professionals. So these are other professionals who are recognizing the, this and Katie and that had to just feel like the win in its own. But also then other women were like, oh my god, I won't be pregnant by that time. Like it just was, like, just so fun. So I really, really appreciate it. And this is like a shout out to the podcast, LL's wins on the pod this week, of loving her new nighttime routine reminded me of a win I should be celebrating. This is a nighttime routine journal my friend published. I've been doing it consistently, not perfectly, for almost nine months. It's so helpful for winding down and practicing gratitude every day. Morning routines are still a challenge for me, but at least I've got one bookend in place, and she has like, a nighttime routine journal. And there's a lot of different journals that are out there, you guys, and I'll see if we can find the one that her friend does and put it in the show notes. But if you are not a morning person, don't let that stop you from starting a nighttime routine. And I love that my win of committing to a nighttime routine reminded her that she has a win she can celebrate. That's why we do this. That's why this entire episode exists every week. Is to remind you that you probably have wins happening in your day, that you're just not celebrating, and we have to celebrate them so that we have something to combat the crap that is coming at us every day, because everything happens like you have a good thing and you have a bad thing, and sometimes we only do the bad things. But just remember there are good things happening, and they might not seem huge, but having a bookend in place to have a nighttime routine meaning you have the best night's sleep, this means that your morning is gonna be better, even if there isn't a routine to your morning like it's just gonna be better because you're great night sleep. So Katie, thank you for sharing that so you can inspire the newest listener who didn't hear my win about nighttime routines being a win. So I just love that. We can just keep that going like a domino effect going. I love it. I'm obsessed. Okay, so now, you guys, a win of mine. So here's the deal, we have the world's sweetest dog. The world's sweetest dog I am obsessed with, Bayon. He is nine years old, and he we got him as a puppy, and he's just so sweet, right? But you know our dog, August, who never followed any rules, caused Bayon to stop following rules, and when you have a pocket pity, he can never be bad, because people make judgments. It's kind of like the expectation you have as a woman, you mess up, you mess up for all women, somehow, that's like, the pressure. No, just me. That's like, a pity, right? Because if you ever want to, like, watch a documentary about how amazing pities are and how they are not as bad as the media likes to proclaim, watch a documentary called Beyond the Myth. It's really, really informative. Because a lot of people think they have long jaws. They don't. I think they have the toughest jaws. They don't. So anyways, Bayon has, like, never caused an issue, never caused a problem, but he stopped listening to us on walks, and so I would have to really make him not pull on my leash. Or when a dog was barking up, he would want to bark at the back of the dog, and it's like, no, that's unbecoming. Yes, that other dog was the asshole first, but you're the one who's gonna be judged. So, you know, bring it together. So anyways, we have been really working with him on this, and found a little tool, we can click, get him treats. And you guys, it's so amazing. He's so cute. He just wants to be right by our side, because it's way more fun to be by our side than it is to pull in front. And so I just want to say you can teach an old dog new tricks, and actually, we're just reminding him tricks he knows. But because of our other dog, we weren't taking him to parties and things like that. So he used to go to public places all the time. And then in the last five years, I guess I blame COVID. We stopped taking him to places. And another win is because of all his training, he went to a birthday party, a huge birthday party who knew no one at. It was loud. There was children. There was kids coming out of there, like touching his head. And Brad had to teach them all how to like this is how you meet a dog you don't know. You got to put your hand like this, calm down, so that you can always pull your fingers back if they react differently. No, don't put your hand on top of their head. No, don't grab their head. And he was just so good. He licked every stranger. He was just so great. My win is we got our dog to be the trained dog that he was already, and we got to celebrate that with him. And it's really fun, because now we can take him everywhere. We literally take him, everywhere. He goes into Costco, where those people, he went to dispensaries the other day, like he's just having the best time. And it's kind of fun to still have a dog you can literally take everywhere. You know how people take little dogs, but like, he's not a little dog, he's a 50 pound dog. And as we come up closer to our summer tour, I'm just even more excited, because he's always been so behaved in people's studios, but I know now that he listens to his naming called again. It's just gonna be a lot more fun as we go on tour and just have a lot more ease. So that's my win. We trained our dog again. Do you see how wins can be simple? They don't have to be this, like goal they've been working on for seven years. I gotta wait seven years to have a goal. No, no, that's not true. All right, let me get your mantra and get you on your weekend. I release the fears that do not serve me, hmm? I release the fears that do not serve me. I release the fears that do not serve me. Babe, do you do that? I hope you do. I really, really hope you do. It's just going to help you out so much better. It's going to make your life so much easier. Release the fears that don't serve you. Be afraid of falling off a cliff when you're at the edge of a cliff, but don't be afraid of falling off a cliff that doesn't exist in your life right now, right? Because it's just wasting your brain space, your beautiful brain space. It could be doing another amazing things. Thank you all so much for listening.

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 0:58  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It second half of the how did these tours come to be? And Brad is back as my guest. So this is a different kind of cadence, I guess you'd say. Brad Crowell 1:10  Yeah, you know, we're shaking things up a little bit. Lesley Logan 1:11  So we're not answering any of your questions. We're not going to talk about the Be It Action Items we shared with you. Brad Crowell 1:16  But we are going to talk about that amazing guest you had on this week's episode. Lesley Logan 1:20  Oh yeah, yeah. We're talking about you, Brad. Brad Crowell 1:22  It was me. Lesley Logan 1:23  And also, if you want to come to the tours, opc.me/tour, no matter when you hear this, you will always be able to see what upcoming tour there is or you'll get on a waitlist for the next one to come out. But basically, we do two tours a year. So we left off with how we started talking with Balanced Body about our tours.Brad Crowell 1:42  Yeah. So I remember we were at a POT, I think. Lesley Logan 1:46  In Monterey in 2020. Brad Crowell 1:48  No, I think it was before that. I think it was in Chicago, even before that. Lesley Logan 1:51  Well, there was a Chicago one that I talked to them and I planted the seed, that was in 2019. Brad Crowell 1:54  Yeah, but that's the one I was talking about. So we started talking to Balanced Body years prior to their participation, and I remember the conversation with their team. I just remember looking at their operation and literally watching them back a tractor trailer up to the convention center and commenting and going, Wow, you guys have tractor trailers. And the response was, we have three. I was like, you have three tractor trailers? They're like, yeah, look where do you think all these Reformers are gonna go? And they were loading case after case after case of things into the thing. And I was like, wow, it's so much work for you guys to go on the road. And they said, yeah, for us to put on these POTs, it is a massive enterprise to do. Many, many, many people, lots and lots of money. It's so much coordination, so much effort, you know. And I jokingly said, well, you know, I think we can help you guys out with that. And that didn't really come to anything, but I, in my mind, I was like, we could do it for half, you know. And then we got the van, and then we were talking with Ken.Lesley Logan 2:56  What happened is they changed, on the Contrology, they changed how you can do the wheels, the side wheels, how you can tighten them or not tighten them, and they change it to make it easier for people. And so I said, we're all, we're driving to the POT Monterey anyways, because we're gonna have a booth there as well because we had a booth in the October one which was when you kind of planted that seed. Brad Crowell 3:15  Yeah, and for us it was only what eight hours, at this point we've driven across the country multiple times. They're like, yeah, we'll just drive. Lesley Logan 3:20  I said, oh, I'll bring my Reformer. And we weren't even staying at the hotel where the event was. We were just down the street, just because of, like, I needed a really big room. Brad Crowell 3:27  Yeah, you had to do a weekend workshop thing. Lesley Logan 3:29  Yeah, I had to, like, host a weekend event and so we needed a big room. And so I had my assistant at the time, like, literally scoping pictures of rooms and we're like, there's no way we can make this room work, because the beds right there. So we had to stay about a mile a half away from the venue. And so Ken Ubered over. Brad Crowell 3:45  Ken is the owner of Balanced Body. Lesley Logan 3:47  Yeah, so get this, Ken Ubered over to our hotel, during setup of his humongous convention, to change the little silver situation that goes on the back of my carriage, to change the wheels out. Brad Crowell 4:01  Yeah, he brought us wrenches.Lesley Logan 4:02  He just brought a wrench, brought a credit card, so we had also brought our Nespresso machine. Brad made him a cup of Nespresso and so he fixed he like, this is, this is what.Brad Crowell 4:11  We're just chilling out, you know, and he's working on this Reformer, we're just chit-chatting. Lesley Logan 4:16  And then Brad's like, oh, man, I'll take you back to the venue. Brad Crowell 4:18  Yeah. He's like, oh, I'll grab an Uber. I was like, no, you will not grab an Uber. I will drive you, you know. And of course, I wanted him to see the van. Lesley Logan 4:26  Yeah. So he got in the van. He had to see how big the van was. He had just seen that we brought the Reformer. Brad Crowell 4:31  Yeah, yeah. Obviously, we brought the Reformer. But he said to me, oh my gosh, I always wanted one of these when I was in my 20s. I always just wanted to drive around the country. And it's so cool that you guys are doing this, and that's when I got a chance to say, well, this is, you know, we do go on tour, and we are taking, we're already taking a Reformer with us, so that we can show off the Contrology Reformer, right? And he was like, wow. And so, you know, I didn't like full blown pitch him in that moment, but it was like one major seed planted, because he could see it, feel it, touch it, understand it, in a way that wasn't us trying to pitch the vision. He could be in the vision.Lesley Logan 5:09  Yeah. So they actually signed on with us for our first ever summer tour. And so we got to do the west coast because we'd only ever done the East Coast and the middle we'd never done the west coast before we'd pulled them. We want to do a West Coast tour. So we actually did our first West Coast tour. It wasn't very long. It was kind of like a short and sweet thing. I know. We did Las Vegas. We did Los Angeles. Brad Crowell 5:31  Well, somewhere in there, we missed the 2022 winter tour. But we, 2020. Lesley Logan 5:36  Oh, yeah, we did a '22 we did a 22, you're right, we did do a 2022 winter tour. And that got bigger, got back up to the size. Brad Crowell 5:41  Yeah, that was like eight or nine. So we have Cleveland, St Louis, Dallas, Houston, Nashville, Atlanta, Greensboro. Yeah. So. Lesley Logan 5:48  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That one, that one was really great, actually, because we got back up to our 2019 numbers and so we were able to say, okay, so we've had four tours, and so we're able to show them like, look now that COVID allows us to do this. Look at these nine cities. What if we, so we did our biggest tour ever, which was the West Coast tour. We didn't do Los Angeles. We started at Las Vegas. Did we even do Las Vegas? I know we did Riverside. Brad Crowell 6:10  For the summer tour? Lesley Logan 6:11  Yeah. We did Redlands. Brad Crowell 6:13  Redlands, Long Beach. Lesley Logan 6:14  Long Beach. Brad Crowell 6:14  Bakersfield. Lesley Logan 6:15  Bakersfield. Brad Crowell 6:16  Central Valley, Hanford, Fresno. Lesley Logan 6:18  Yeah it was near Fresno. Brad Crowell 6:19  Modesto. Lesley Logan 6:20  Modesto. You guys were hitting some of those great I-5 cities. Brad Crowell 6:23  So that's five. Yeah, we did Fairfield. Lesley Logan 6:25  Yes. And we did Sacramento. Brad Crowell 6:27  Sac. Lesley Logan 6:27  And then we did a tour of Balanced Body, even though we've done it before with Ken, we did a tour so that our OPC members could see how it's all done. It was so fun. They do amazing work at Balanced Body, just being great on the environment. Then we did. Brad Crowell 6:40  Bend. Lesley Logan 6:40  Bend, Oregon. Brad Crowell 6:42  Portland. Lesley Logan 6:42  Portland. That was so fun, too, Seattle, and then. Brad Crowell 6:46  Spokane. Lesley Logan 6:47  Spokane and then we dropped down, had a couple days off in Idaho. And then we got all around St George, Utah. Brad Crowell 6:54  So we did 11 stops. Lesley Logan 6:55  11 stops, it was our biggest one, and it was so fun. And we got to see how hot it could get. So then the van got a fan. Brad Crowell 7:05  We also did that whole tour in two weeks. Lesley Logan 7:07  In two weeks. Brad Crowell 7:07  It was like 16 days. Lesley Logan 7:09  It was really. Brad Crowell 7:10  It was zipped through 11 stops in 16 days. Lesley Logan 7:13  It was, yeah, there's a heat wave. So I was not, I was okay with zipping through. Then, because of that went so well and Balanced Body was so great with that that they joined us for our winter tour in 2023 and then we really able to like. Brad Crowell 7:26  But that's when I think things really blew up. Lesley Logan 7:27  Yeah, I don't think it was our, it was our biggest tour, for sure. It beat the 11 cities, but it wasn't our biggest, biggest. Then, last year, you want to go through them? Brad Crowell 7:36  Sure. We did Vegas, St George, Denver, Lawrence, Kansas, St Louis, Missouri, Cleveland, Ohio, Saratoga Springs. That was a private event. Boston, t hen Providence, private event. Brooklyn. We had to cancel New York City because nobody was in town. Hershey, Pennsylvania, Greensboro, North Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, Miami, Sarasota, that's the first time we did the inside of Florida. Then Austin, Dallas, Albuquerque, Sedona. So by far, this was the largest one of the 19 cities. Lesley Logan 8:10  Yeah, then we did a summer tour with the Midwest. Because if you've noticed, we've been skipping Chicago for a while. So we have been alternating the West Coast, with the Midwest, and so this is how we decided, like, okay, so you need to know, after every single one of these tours, we reflect about, like, what went well, what cities went well? Will we go back, how the people like it, how much effort was it, how great was the host? You know, if we love the host, obviously it's amazing for us to want to go there. If the host works really, really hard, then, of course, we want to continue to work with them and support them. But we also discovered that my voice, as I get older, my voice can only do. Brad Crowell 8:47  I don't think it's just because you're getting older. We had you working nine days in a row, literally teaching class nine days in a row. By the ninth day you were fried. Lesley Logan 8:56  And some of these studios, they're acoustic. Brad Crowell 8:58  You're not a day older than 29, love. Lesley Logan 8:59  Thanks, baby. Some of these students, the acoustics are not awesome for that, because you have to get your voice to carry and all these things. And so, at any rate, you'd think, well, Lesley, don't you teach all day? No. No, I don't. No, I don't. In fact, when I. Brad Crowell 9:14  Come on, you do talk, you do talk most of the time, but like this is different than trying to yell in a warehouse, you know, like. Lesley Logan 9:20  Yeah, and get people's attention in a warehouse, for sure, some of them have music going on, the whole thing. So, at any rate, we've made changes to the tour. So you'll notice with tour schedules since summer of the Midwest. Brad Crowell 9:31  Well, that, so the Summer Tour was only 13 stops, but we did it in 16 days. Yes, we were flying through. Lesley Logan 9:36  We made changes that we can only do max six days in a row before a day off, five is more ideal. Brad Crowell 9:42  But this was a major change for us, where, whereas, like, all right, we have to be very intentional about the breaks that we're putting in. Because one, things Lesley mentioned at the beginning was, how does she maintain her consistency? How does she maintain her you know, how do you do that stuff? Lesley Logan 9:57  So these tours, because I don't want to do them, because it's a job. We actually truly enjoy doing the tours. We have so much fun. I mean, I get to hug hundreds of people. It's so great. And it really, actually makes me go, oh, I wanna teach all the time. And then I'm actually like, no, actually, I really love my life, but I love that I get to see so many of you that I only see on like, I only get to read words on the internet. I get to see you in person. I could touch you and like you're three dimensional and all the things. We really love doing it, we also want to be able to be as present as possible. And so after every tour, we always reflect back, do we have enough time in that city? Do we have enough time to do this? You guys, I must work out so I do not teach all these people Pilates, and I don't get workouts in. And so every schedule we have to make sure that five days a week, I have time at a gym. I have time to move before I'm teaching giving me space to go the gym at 11pm at night is not space to work out. Also, I have to make sure that I get to have seven hours of sleep, very important. So all the things that I preach about prioritizing myself first, those things happen on tour. Brad Crowell 10:57  People always ask us how do you maintain your routine when you're completely jacking up your routine?Lesley Logan 11:02  Yeah? Well, you can speak to this. You guys use a really cool app that plans out everything, because he'll kind of drive late at night while I'm sleeping, so I can go to bed early, and I'll wake up and it will say like you're working out from this time to this time. Then you're driving here to get coffee, and then you're driving here to do this thing, and so that I have time to do my thing for myself while you're sleeping.Brad Crowell 11:22  Yeah, so we take shifts, because just the nature of our brains and our bodies, I usually stay up late. Lesley usually gets up early, especially when, when it was the COVID trip that was crazy, like the van almost never turned off. We just kept going. Lesley Logan 11:36  We were so nervous about touching anything. Brad Crowell 11:37  I sleep, you drive, and while you were sleeping, I would drive, and we'd just go, go, go. Lesley Logan 11:42  That was very different. That was also just like a very different time in the world. We were, like, afraid. We still wondered if you got COVID from gas station handles and we were going to see people at Christmas, and we had to do like, a three-day hangout at your parents' house.Brad Crowell 11:55  But the point is that we were overlapping on purpose while one was sleeping, the other was driving. Now it's a little less. The maximum amount of driving that we're trying to do in a day is, like, no more than eight hours. And that's still a lot, you know, so we've started to slow it down, which has since then made the tour longer, but it makes it a lot more enjoyable so.Lesley Logan 12:17  We also get to like, see places now, because and we have the dogs, well, now we just have one dog. We should tell them funny stories about the dogs before we wrap this episode up. But we like make sure that they get walks, and we take it through really beautiful habitat preservations that allow for dog walking. We get to see some really cool thing.Brad Crowell 12:33  We stopped in Kansas by, like, one of those big tank memorials and threw the ball. I mean, you know, like this, all these things that we do. Then the Winter Tour 2024 with the support of Balanced Body. And we had some other sponsors, too. Yeah, we had 21 locations, 21 stops. But in order to meet these new requirements of no more than six days in a row of teaching, how do we drive eight hours or less a day? How do we make sure that we've got time to do some workouts. By the way, we're interested in seeing White Sands National Park on this trip. Can we do that, you know, like stuff like that. How do we work all that in? Well, it ended up making, making the trip 34, 35 days. But we actually went the longest. We drove 80, over 8000 miles. Lesley Logan 13:17  Yeah, we got to go to some great places. And also, if you're like, this sounds so amazing, guys, everything works out for you. Just so you know, pretty much every tour there was a dud city.Brad Crowell 13:24  Oh yeah, we had to cancel. It would have been 22 cities on the Winter Tour, and we, unfortunately, had to pull one because we just had no one participate.Lesley Logan 13:33  And we and talk about like the last time was that perseverance, we paid people to scour emails and Instagram handles for three hour drive away to be like, okay, well, what if we get these people from this state to come in? What if this people from this state come in? They could do with this. Brad Crowell 13:47  I mean, I would drive and just call, literally, I would call studio after studio after studio. Lesley Logan 13:51  And we had people say, and it was a lovely house. And she's like, no, people are just last minute. We're like, girl, it's 48 hours before. This is as last minute as we, no, we're not driving up there. So again, we don't take it personally. It sucks. We always do reflect, like, what could we have done better? Was it the time of day? You know, we've had cities that have done really, really well two years in a row, and then have a dud year, and we're like, oh, what happened there? And it's like, oh. So this next Winter Tour, we're flipping two cities because we're like, oh, you know, we did them before Christmas and then after Christmas. And this year we switched that, and that didn't go well for either one of them. So you start to learn the seasons of things, and you have to know that it's not personal, but the reflecting after every tour really helps us make each tour even better. And we're six weeks, five weeks away from our eighth tour, and it's gonna be epic. It's gonna be amazing. It almost feels like a vacation.Brad Crowell 14:38  A little bit more time-condensed, so we're a little over three weeks, but we're at doing almost 19 stops. So that's, that's intense. Lesley Logan 14:46  Three of them include Canada.Brad Crowell 14:48  Yeah. So we're, we're doing our best here to get to do our first international tour. I mean, we are going, so. Lesley Logan 14:55  We're going. Just so you know, these tours also are a huge investment. There's a reason why we have a sponsor with Balanced Body. They really help us actually be on the road for that long because when you're on the road for that many weeks, you're having three plus meals a day on the road. All that adds up money, the gas, depending on what state you're in, is insane, right? So there's that we do. We try not to use a hotel at this point because we have the van, the investment we've made in the van, you know, to make it so we can live in all of that kind of costs money. And so there are things that have failed on tours where, like, like, those stops that haven't made money or haven't, haven't, had been canceled, but having a sponsor that allows us to, like, really be on the road for that long, so that we can do these stops and we can see all of you, but to get to Canada, we're investing thousands of dollars to make it happen.Brad Crowell 15:41  Yeah, had to pay an attorney to help us with paperwork and it was like. Lesley Logan 15:44  Because you can't just work wherever you want to work. You can't just do that. So we're super, super excited to be one of the first people that actually do a big Pilates event. There have been other Pilates events in Canada. I don't want to discount those ones that are happening in Balanced Bodies in Montreal.Brad Crowell 15:59   It's like, it's the thing that's exciting about this is it'll be our first international tour. Lesley Logan 16:03  Yes, yes. I know people are like, when are you going to do a European tour? So I used to think it was like two years away after what we're doing for Canada. You guys, I gonna tell you right now, that's a five year plan. Because, like. Brad Crowell 16:13  Yeah, we so we're thinking about, how could we do this, you know, in Europe and Australia. Because, like, eventually for us, that's the vision. We want to go see those places. We want to spend the time, I think, for us to drive around Australia, to do it right, it's going to take us five to six weeks of driving, like, that's a lot. Lesley Logan 16:28  And we're going to have to rent a van there. We're certainly not going to take one. I was thinking about put some magnets on it. But also, there are actual laws about what we can do, and we don't do these things quietly. So, so if you live in Australia or Europe, and you want us to do tours there, you should definitely reach out. We keep a list of people who love to host. And we do need hosts. These tours, they happen when there's hosts. But also, and that goes for anyone in the States as well. You can actually put your place on there. But also, we're gonna need legal help, because, like we're talking immigration attorney help, which is not cheap, by the way, very expensive, so that we can actually do these things. So what we thought would be like in two years, I'm realizing, is probably a few years in the making. But we want to make this happen. We want to be part of it. That's why we're actually telling you the behind the scenes on how these tours work. So opc.me/tour is where you go for tickets, but opc.me/host is where you go to apply to be a host. Okay, so funny stories about the dogs. First of all, we used to do these tours with three dogs. Brad Crowell 17:29  Three. Lesley Logan 17:30  And then Gaia's last tour was Summer Tour 2024. Brad Crowell 17:33  Well, her first last tour. Lesley Logan 17:35  Her first last tour was Winter 2022. Brad Crowell 17:38  So, was it winter? Lesley Logan 17:40  Oh, yeah, Winter Tour 2022. Brad Crowell 17:42  It was Winter Tour, you're right.Lesley Logan 17:43  And then it was, her first last tour was Summer 2023 then her second last tour was, was winter 2023 and then. Brad Crowell 17:52  Her actual last tour was Summer '24. Lesley Logan 17:53  You guys, before we started, she, you guys, she did not want to go. We were, the van was loaded up, the boys were in it. The boys, because the boys, once we start loading the, putting stuff up to load in. They are like, in the van. Brad Crowell 18:03  Yeah, they do not want to be left behind, so they're sitting in the van watching us. Lesley Logan 18:07  It is hot as fuck outside. And they're like, no, I need to be in the van. I'm like, okay, but the doors are wide open. I can't be in the van. And they're freaking out. They're, they're just, you know, very nervous. And she, so we have the whole van loaded up. The boys are in the van. We go Gaia, and she comes and looks at the door.Brad Crowell 18:22  She comes out onto the front porch, stares at us. Lesley Logan 18:26  And she goes back inside. Brad Crowell 18:27  Turns around and goes back in the house. She's like nuh-uh.Lesley Logan 18:30  And we forced her, we forced her to go on this tour. And she was at this point, sleeping 20 hours a day, just anyways, she was having a hard time with her back legs. We're carrying her everywhere, which we've been doing the last two tours. Brad Crowell 18:41  And we had to lift her in and out of the van. Lesley Logan 18:42  Lift her in the van, and then, okay, so on this her on her final, final, last tour, she had an accident in the bed, and that was really unfortunate, because we're on the road now. We've got a dog, but that has to get washed. We don't always have time for a, like, a wash and, like, I don't know what you call this, like a fluff and fold. So I'm in Kansas City teaching a class, and while I'm teaching, Brad leaves to go bathe her. So he finds a place that he can bathe her, and he has to leave because it's hot out. He has to leave.Brad Crowell 19:12  So the timing of things, we have a very tight timeline. Lesley Logan 19:16  He leaves the car running with the dogs in the van and the boys. Brad Crowell 19:20  Wait. So, hold on. You're teaching the class. You're teaching the workshop. I have, literally, I have 90 minutes to get up and out, find a place, turn it around, wash the dog, get back. Right?Lesley Logan 19:34  Yeah. So he pulls up to this dog place. Brad Crowell 19:37  Well, the first one I pulled up to, it says on Google Maps that they have a thing in there to wash them. They don't. And I was like, are you, are you kidding? I just wasted 10 minutes coming all the way over here, and you don't have what I need. Lesley Logan 19:49  Yeah, so, so then he now has to go the next one, right? So he goes to the next one. He leaves the car running because it's hot out. It's like 90 something degrees. He leaves it running. And the boys are in the passenger seat, watching Brad take Gaia into the van. They're not okay with this. The pack is not together, somehow, though, while he's washing Gaia, so she's in this tub. Brad Crowell 20:10  So they're in the van, I'm in the store. But the the van's running so that the AC could be blasting. And August. Lesley Logan 20:18  Pressed the window button. Brad Crowell 20:19  He goes to the driver's seat, and shoves his nose, but he touches, he steps on the window button, and the window goes down, and sure enough. Lesley Logan 20:27  Jumps out. Brad Crowell 20:28  Two dogs jump out of the van. Lesley Logan 20:29  And they go up to the store, which has those doors that open by themselves. Brad Crowell 20:32  So before that happened, I'm in the back of the store, and I'm washing Gaia, right? She's covered in shit. All of a sudden, up at the front of the store, I hear, oh no, oh no, right, and this now there's multiple people yelling oh no. And then this lady's running down the store, and she's yelling, hey, sir, sir, I think your dogs just got out of the van. I'm like, holding the hose, and it's one of those timer things. So, like, I'm like, all right, I guess I'm gonna have to get more of that once I figure this other thing out. So I throw the water that's already it's still coming out. I just throw it and like, I'm like, Gaia, you stay. And she's looking at me, like, how could I possibly go anywhere? Right? And so I'm running out towards the van right at the same exact time the double doors of this big dog store open, and both August and Bayon come running into the store.Lesley Logan 21:21  Yeah, they ran into the store. So thankfully, they ran into the store and not, like, down the street. I don't even know what we would have done. At any rate.Brad Crowell 21:28  Yeah, I was, like, I was, because there was a parking lot. Like, there was hundreds of cars. It would have been terrible. Lesley Logan 21:33  Yeah. So they ran into the store, so Brad has to get them. Brad Crowell 21:36  So now I got all three dogs in the back, in the dog washing area, because I'm like, screw it. You guys are with me now. We're just gonna all hang out here. Finish washing Gaia. I blow dry Gaia down. And they were like, hey, can we get you a leash? Because the leashes were in the van. It wasn't like that, you know, so, and I was like, that would be so helpful. So they helped me, like, get the dogs on a leash. And, you know, we troop out of it, and everyone's happy because, you know, the dogs came to be with the pack. Lesley Logan 22:04  Yeah, so. Brad Crowell 22:06  Oh, and then I had to zip back just in time for the end of the workshop so that I could do the raffle. Lesley Logan 22:10  And I'm like, wrapping up this workshop, and he's not there. And I'm like, where the fuck is he? Because I can't, I don't know what I'm raffling off like I had to check people into this next thing. I had no idea this was going on. Anyways, oh my God. So this tour we. Brad Crowell 22:24  Chaos. Lesley Logan 22:25  This tour will be not chaotic. Future tours will not be chaotic because we have one dog. Brad Crowell 22:30  Yes, he's very chill. He just wants to lay next to you.Lesley Logan 22:33  He's very chill. Just wants to lay down. He wants to just be there. So I think it was so this is where we're at. No more shenanigans. Real easy. Roll in, roll out. You guys. We have two tours this year. We have a summer tour in the West Coast, into Canada. Please tell your friends, come make a trip out of it. We're doing some really cool cities. We're going to places you're going to want to travel to, and obviously, East Coast, the South check our Winter Tour list. And if you are living anywhere in the world and you want a tour stop, feel free to go to opc.me/host but opc.me/tour get tickets for you and your friends.Brad Crowell 23:06  If you want a tour stop, meaning you would like to host us, go to opc.me/host. If you would like information about the tour itself, go to opc.me/tour.Lesley Logan 23:16  And all of the classes and workshops are for all levels, so your friends and your family can come. These are not made to be only for teachers. There are CECs for the teachers. And again, our headlining sponsor for these next two tours is Balanced Body and Contrology. Oh, and now we have a contour kit, because we're bringing a Reformer, a mat and a Spine Corrector, so you guys can try those things out.Brad Crowell 23:40  Not a chair? Lesley Logan 23:41  No, we didn't buy the chair. Brad Crowell 23:42  Oh, I thought we did.Lesley Logan 23:44  No, we talked about that. Brad Crowell 23:44  All right, failed. Well, that's fine.Lesley Logan 23:47  I would love another chair. But we discussed that. Brad Crowell 23:50  It is big. It's just a lot.Lesley Logan 23:53  We discussed it. It was not the right thing to buy it until the van's more set up,Brad Crowell 23:58  Yeah. So anyway, come try out all that fun stuff. So what would you say would be a Be It Action Item for this episode? Lesley Logan 24:06  Oh, just go buy a ticket to our upcoming tour, because you're gonna have the best time. You're gonna be in community. If you feel lonely, or if you feel burnt out, or if you feel exhausted, then you come on this tour and you, I fill your cup. I prioritize you, I answer your questions. You get to see people you pass as two ships. You get to maybe meet up with people you had no idea love Pilates the same way you do. These literally bring people together. And it doesn't matter how you started Pilates, how many years been doing Pilates, if you teach who trained you. I don't give a fuck. Being in community is the be it action item. It's important.Brad Crowell 24:45  Cool. So my Be It Action Item is when it comes to projects like this, don't be afraid to make changes after you've decided this is how it should work, right, because, for example, if we didn't sell tickets to a spot why are we driving there, right? And that's a bummer, and that's frustrating, but you have to be able to be fluid enough to make changes in the moment when something isn't working or isn't making sense, or not necessarily in the moment, you have to catch it, you can assess it after the fact and do the post mortem, right? For example, from the Summer Tour '24 to the Winter Tour '24 we decided you clearly shouldn't be teaching nine days in a row. That is not healthy, right? So therefore we put a hard stop six days maximum on the way out to Philadelphia. We only taught one stint of six days. Everything else was five, four days in a row before we took a day off on the way back from Philadelphia, same thing, we only had one stint of six days because we were making adjustments and making changes. So, yeah, but I still agree with you that you should come join us because of community. It is so important, especially now with our virtual world, with loneliness being higher than it's ever been, with social media not helping any of us actually function in our own lives. Even though we've been sold this story that somehow it's gonna connect us better, it fucking doesn't, and it's just making us lonelier. So what we're trying to do is actually bring together people in real life, so that we can support each other and be around each other, because we need it. So we would love to meet you, come join us on these tours. Brad Crowell 26:22  Yes, all right, loves, until next time, Be It Till You See It. Brad Crowell 26:25  Bye for now. Lesley Logan 26:27  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Angkor Thom is one of the few carveouts in the UNESCO portfolio, or, as it were, that they don't have to do that because the trees are 400 years old, 500 years old. They've grown on top of the temple there. And basically, if they were to take the trees off, the temple would fall apart.Lesley Logan 0:32  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.Brad Crowell 1:11  All right. Welcome back Be It babes. This is Brad here. Solo episode today. Hope you like the sound of my voice, because I'm just going to be rambling a little bit about my favorite topic in the entire world, going to Cambodia to spend time with the people there and enjoy some food there and go see the majestic, wonderful temples of Angkor Wat. It is obviously something I'm incredibly passionate about. You've heard me talk about it many, many times in this pod, if you're a listener. If you are brand new, welcome, welcome. We love having you joining us here on the Be It Pod. Cambodia, everybody always asks, hey, why Cambodia? Why? Right? Well, that's definitely my fault. The reality is, my mom bought at a yard sale. She bought, like, 10 years of National Geographic magazines for, I don't know, well, I don't know, I have no idea, I was like 10 years old, or 12 years old or something. Anyway, I opened up the very first one I remember, because I'm sure I looked at a lot, but the one I remember more than any other was opening up this, like, entire spread of Angkor Wat, right? And I didn't even know how to pronounce it at the time. I was a really young kid. But what I can tell you is I was way into dinosaurs, The Jungle Book and Transformers as a child, and when I saw this 10-page spread, or the spread of Angkor Wat in Nat Geo, this was like the Jungle Book in real life to me, and I was so excited about this, the curiosity that it inspired in me literally stayed with me until Lesley asked me, like, I don't know, 20 plus years later, hey, where do we want to go for our honeymoon? And my response instantly was, we're going to Cambodia.Brad Crowell 3:05  You know, and she's like, um, really, we're going to Cambodia. Why would we do that? Can we also go to Thailand? Can we also go to Japan? And I was like, of course, let's do those other things, too. But we have to go to Cambodia. I have to see Angkor Wat. I have to see the temples and the jungle temples. And you know, since then, I've been inspired a number of other times. I'm sure you're all aware that Angelina Jolie's version of Tomb Raider was actually filmed at the temples. It was filmed at Ta Prohm temple. That's, like, a really cool temple. It's actually really close to Angkor Wat. It's like, I don't know, 10 minutes away or 15 minutes away from Angkor, and so we have had a chance to go see that one. We saw the Angkor. We saw a temple called Bayon Temple, which actually they considered the, you know, at the time, because what's so cool about the history of Cambodia was a massive empire, is called the Khmer empire, K-H-M-E-R, Khmer Empire, and it covered all of Vietnam up into Lao, Laos, you know, Lao over into Thailand. It's very influenced by India, very influenced by the Thai, and then obviously, what was considered Cambodia today. So it was this massive, massive place. And Angkor was in the middle, and there's a city there, and the city is like fortified, there's a moat around the whole thing. It's this huge city, and in the very center of that city is Bayon Temple. And so they actually consider Bayon temple the center of the universe. They consider the center tower all the way up at the top to be like this pinnacle place that had a spiritual meaning. And the amount of wonder that Angkor inspires in me keeps me going back. Brad Crowell 4:42  When Lesley and I first went in 2016, we realized when we got home we loved Thailand, we loved Japan, but there was something magical about Cambodia that made us go, how do we go back? How do we go back? And that was the beginning of trying to figure that out. We try to figure out, how do we go? What do we need to do to get back there? Initially, we were like, hey, let's ask all of our friends and they'll come with us. This is gonna be super cool. And they were like, yeah, we're interested. But it never came to fruition, right? It was like, oh, yeah, maybe, we're not sure. Couldn't get anybody to actually commit. Lesley went back to her clients and said, is this ever been on anybody's bucket list going to Angkor? We are thinking about hosting a retreat there. And literally, like a dozen of her clients were like, yes, we're in, absolutely, let's do it. And we figured out a window of time that would work for everyone, and we gave ourselves roughly a year to put it all together, because we didn't know anybody. We had one contact there, and that was our tour guide. And so he was super generous. He was just a really helpful connector. And he helped guide us through figuring out, like, who should we talk to for hosting the retreat? And, you know, just all the things, any kind of question. And it was just lovely to have him. So a big shout out to Stephane De Greef and a big thank you to him. Eventually, when he decided to leave Cambodia and move over to Panama and then wherever he's at now, he contacted me and said, hey, man, I'm leaving, but let me introduce you to everybody that I know. And he did. He opened his Rolodex and just introduced us to all these different people there. And it was incredible. Brad Crowell 6:16  So we had the chance to go back in 2017 for our very first trip with Lesley's clients, and we rented a yoga shala. And the shala was really, really awesome. The people were really lovely. And so we decided to rent it again, and we run another group, and we rented a third time, and the third time, the experience just didn't work. It wasn't what we wanted. And it was actually frustrating, because when Lesley and I turned to ourselves and we were like, hey, maybe we should go get a hotel from our own retreat, we were like, yeah, we can't do this anymore. We got to find a better solution. And that's when we decided to go get our own place, right? And so now we'd been there four times at this point, and we just had a bunch of people that we knew. We reached out to them and said, hey, we're looking for a spot. How do we do this? And they helped connect the dots and help us get going. And basically it turned into this hunt for the right spot, the right place for us to take over and turn into ours. And in 2018 that happened, and it was so exciting. I remember flying back, it was really quick too, like, we got this message from our real estate person. They were like, hey, I think I actually found the right spot. And they gave us all these reasons why, and they really understood our mission and our vision. They really understood what we were trying to do. And they said, we actually like the people that you would be working with to do this, because we're not Cambodian. We can't actually own the land. We're not allowed. We're not a citizen, so we have to have a relationship with people who do own the land there, and they're literally our land lord, and we pay them as if it's like a lease, but we own all the things on it. We own a business there. We have a team there, all that stuff. And so he said, I actually think these people are going to be amazing, and they encourage people coming to visit Cambodia, and they care about it, and they're passionate about it, and so they're right. It was amazing. We met them. They were incredibly gracious and lovely, and we've had, at this point, many, many, many years of building a relationship with them. They're just awesome people, and we absolutely lucked out in that regard. And what we did is we took over this property that has a 12 bedroom apartment complex on it, and allowed us to begin to have our own place to bring you know, people from all around the world to come visit and have a safe, secure, clean, fun place. It's also quiet. We're right off the beaten path. We're like 10 minutes walk from the chaos of Pub Street and wow, like all the loud, but we're far enough away that you don't hear it. We're close enough to walk, but far enough away that it doesn't actually impact you. So it's so awesome. From the place we're like, maybe, oh, I don't know, 15 minutes drive to the Temple of Angkor Wat, which is the largest religious structure in the world. It is still functioning today. They absolutely use it for religious ceremonies and stuff. There's a mix of Hinduism and Buddhism in the way that, it's primarily Buddhist today. You know, you can still find other religions there. There's some Christianity, there's some Muslim faiths there. Primarily it's Buddhist, but the history of the country is a mash up of Hinduism and Buddhism because of war, right? It would be like invaded and then, you know, taken over and taken back and back and forth and all this stuff. And so consequently, there's actually a lot of history that was destroyed by the invading army. They'd come in and break all the statues, and then, you know, the other they build theirs. And then these guys would come back, and it would go back and forth over the centuries that that kind of thing happened. And what's so amazing is all of that is still there. It is available to be seen. It is just the most mind-bending thing when you get there and you're like, this is a thousand years old. This statue that I'm looking at here, they carved this. How did they do this? How did they move the stone? How did they even get this here? Like, how did they think this stuff up? Is it is so mind-blowing to me, because it's exactly in line with the stars and meridian lines and longitude and latitude, the amount of science and thought and understanding of architecture and structural integrity and the building materials and the process of doing it, it is so incredibly thought through and advanced. And then the art itself, the carvings, the planning, how could they have thousands of meters of wall? And it's not a repeat carving anywhere in the entire thing. It's all unique. Every single person in that that's carved into the wall is like, different from the person next to it. You know, it's amazing. It's just incredible. And they spent, I don't know, I think it was a couple decades to build Angkor Wat, like 30 plus years or something. But every time I go, I see something new. Every single time I go, I see something new. Brad Crowell 10:43  And so when we go, what we love to do is take our guests through the temples in a way that you would not normally go if you were to just show up and hire a typical tour guide, tuk guide kind of a thing. You'll see the big three, you know, you'll go to the city of Angkor Thom. You'll actually go to Angkor Wat, of course, which is the temple itself. You'll go to Bayon Temple, usually, and maybe one other place. So whatever one they'll probably take you to the jungle temple Ta Prohm, like I was saying that Angelina Jolie filmed at because that's a really mysterious temple as well, with this epic trees that have grown over top of the temple. In fact, Angkor Thom is really cool because this is a UNESCO heritage site now. And normally, if it's a UNESCO heritage site, they are required to, slowly, over time, rebuild the whatever the structure is to be as if it was the original structure, right? Angkor Thom is one of the few carve-outs in the UNESCO portfolio, as it were, that they don't have to do that, because the trees are 400 years old, 500 years old, they've grown on top of the temple there. And basically, if they were to take the trees off, the temple would fall apart. And so they got this exception to keep the everything as it is right now. And that makes it even more cool. I mean, it's just, it's so amazing. So when everybody arrives on Sunday night, we we just hang out. We do like class, we get some food, we usually go get a massage, and then the next morning, we get up and we have class, and then we have the morning off, because after lunch, we all hop on our tour bus and we go see a series of temples. We go to the south gate at Angkor Thom, we go see a pagoda. A pagoda is like a place of worship for monks today, it's kind of like a church, but it's usually open air, open-walled, right? So it's just like a covered building, generally. Sometimes they're, they've got walls and everything, too. But these pagodas that are inside of Angkor Thom are open-aired. And so we go see this pagoda, and there's like monks actually practicing there. And it's really neat to see the community still lives there, and they still do life there, right? So, and then we go in to Bayon Temple, and we go, from there, we might be able to go up to see Angkor or the elephant terrace, which is this like place where the king today still will go up to Angkor and you know, he will have a big ceremony once a year there. The royal family goes there. And then from there, we'll go to the north gate, and we'll see the different gates that they have. And they're all unique. They're all, you know, the similar concept, but they're all unique. And of course, the vegetation, the trees are different, the views are different, all that. Then we'll go out the east gate, and we'll go over and see Ta Prohm, right? Along the way, we'll stop at another place, Chau Say Tevoda, which is a smaller temple that was like, considered a library. There were twin temples there. So there's one on one side of the road, one on the other, the one is in way better shape than the the other side. So we always go to the one that actually is, like in repair. You know, maybe we walk through the jungle a little bit there. And, you know, there's, like, usually there's monkeys, which are not your friend, but they're usually there, too. We get a chance to go through and peek into the past. That is just mind-blowing. And my favorite part of going to Cambodia, well, one of my favorite parts, to be honest, because I really can't pick, is being able to go explore these temples. And there's just something that is so otherworldly about it, because you don't see this in the United States, right? You don't find this stuff, probably not even up in Canada. You might see something comparable in Europe, but it's different, right? The massive cathedrals in Europe could be like, 1000 years old too, but it's not the same as it being like, overtaken by the jungle and then carved out after they re-, quote-unquote, rediscovered it in the, you know, 1860s basically, a French guy discovered it in the 1860s again and brought it back to light in western civilization. And then the French actually occupied Cambodia for like, 100 years. And it wasn't until 1960s that Cambodia became Cambodia. Before that, it was an occupied territory of from the French, and it got its independence in the 60s. Brad Crowell 14:45  The second thing that is just amazing is the food. In Cambodia, they don't cook with milk or dairy products. There's no cheese. It's not standard. They also are generally light on the sauces, right? It's not like Thai food. Where everything has its own sauce, and it's half sauce and half whatever the dish is. It's different than that. They make a lot of curries, like I mentioned, it is, you know, a lot of influence from India and Thailand. There are a lot of noodle dishes, but there's a lot of rice dishes, and it's generally really clean eating, right? So if it's a rice dish, it's rice with a small side salad and then a little bit of prepared meat. Their quote-unquote sauce might be like salt and pepper mix, right? It's not sloshed with all this stuff. And so it's really great food. And it just, it's clean, easy, it's always farm to table, because they don't really have the big processing system that we do in the United States. So everything just tastes so good. I love it. And what we do, we get to work with, this is super special, when we moved there, there was this organization, it's an NGO, or a non-government organization that was started by somebody in the United States. They went there and they had a passion for Cambodia, and they said, hey, we could help. We could affect change by creating, effectively, a vo-tech school, right? So what they did is they would raise money, and then they would go into the countryside, and they would sponsor these kids who were really poor, who could not afford to educate themselves. And they said, hey, if you want to, we will give you a full ride, a full scholarship to our school. You'll stay on campus. You'll learn how to work in the service industry. So we'll teach you how to be a chef. We'll teach you how to be a pastry chef. We'll teach you how to be a barista or a server or a bartender or a manager or whatever. And so it's all surrounding the service industry. And then after the end of the program, after these kids go through the program, which I don't remember how long, it could be a couple years, because they also have, like, regular classes, and there's a dormitory and all this stuff. When they graduate, they actually will help them get a job placement. So they might move down to the big city in Phnom Penh and they go to a fancy hotel there, or maybe they stay relatively local in Siem Reap or maybe they go abroad, I don't know, but the school helps them get placed for a job. And this organization is called Spoons. Well, it's called Spoons today. I can't remember what it was called prior, because unfortunately, during COVID, all the money dried up and all the support dried up, and it wasn't available for them. And unfortunately, the American support basically said, hey, we got to close the doors. We don't have any way to keep this going. And the locals, the team that they have built, the Cambodians, some of them were graduates themselves, then helping to run the school, said, hey, this is an amazing thing that's really helping people here. We want to keep this going. And so they went locally, and they found a couple of really generous donors to effectively step in on the financial side to help support the school. And they were able to keep the doors open. And Lesley and I were there in like 2020 and things were still operating like normal when we were there in March of 2020 but then we were gone for two years. We weren't back until 2022 so when we finally got back in 2022 we went over there and we were talking to them, and they said, somehow we made it through. It's been crazy, but we were able to keep the doors open. And this year, we are sponsoring 20 students. This is the first time that we've ever operated as a company, as an organization, without any outside support. It's all like done locally. It's now run by and owned by Cambodians. They call themselves the Khmer people, run by khmer, and they were really proud of that, because they were able to keep this institution that had been put into place operating. And then the next year they had like 50 students. And then this past year, we were there, you know, we were just there in February of 2025, now, and they have like 78 students. And we're so pleased to be able to work with them, because we have them deliver our meals during the week. And then on the final day of the trip, we actually all go over to the restaurant, to Spoons, and they serve us. The students are working at the restaurant. So, you know, there's the head chef is a graduate, or the manager is a graduate, and they're making sure the wheels stay on the bus, but the barista, the servers, the bussers, all the food prep, all that stuff, is done by the students themselves. And it gives us so much joy to be able to support that organization. And the food they make is amazing. It's so good. Brad Crowell 19:03  We want to invite you to come join us in Cambodia on a trip and experience these things for yourself and join us so that we can make sure that you really do have an incredible time.

I like that she trained like this. I think it's really inspirational. You guys don't have to be into fitness to do this. You can actually think, what could I commit to over a period of time that would challenge me in my comfort zone and just be okay with giving it a try? What could I do? Lesley Logan 0:16  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 0:58  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 impactful convo I had with Kelsey Lensman in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that episode, you've missed out on a really fun chick. She is cool as fuck. I really enjoyed her. So you can go back and listen that one, come back and listen to this one. You can listen to this one. You're already here and then go back and listen to that one. Lesley Logan 1:18  But first, Today is December 5th 2024 and it's Celebrate Shelter Pets Day. We're just going to celebrate shelter pets? You should go adopt a shelter pet today. Brad Crowell 1:28  That's exactly what this is all about. Lesley Logan 1:30  Celebrate Shelter Pets Day is on the first Thursday after Thanksgiving. The day brings awareness to pets such as dogs and cats that are in shelters. A lot of people often think of adopting a pet from a shelter home, but they don't always follow through that thought, because they think there's somethingwrong with shelter pets. They are wrong. Most people who have adopted shelter pets can testify that shelter groups are full of great pets that provide companionship. There are, unfortunately, some pets in the shelter that are deemed unadoptable because of fear, perceived aggression or anxiety. But even these issues can be managed if addressed properly. Did you know it takes a dog three days to relax in the stress of being in a shelter. Then it takes three weeks for them to understand your routine, and then by three months, they are fully in your family. So y'all who are buying pretty dogs who you're trying to convince me it's because your allergies. They come with their own problems, too. In fact, a lot of purebreds have a lot of problems. So we highly recommend a little mix of a mutt of some kind. They're super fun. Also, some of these shelter dogs are being fostered in a home. You can also find out right away if they're good with kids or dogs, because the shelters find this out. So when I follow all the local animal adopted in Las Vegas, and they'll go Duchess. She's a tripod, super great with kids who are gentle, not good with other dogs. She needs to be your only Duchess in the house. There's a really, they know these things. Brad Crowell 2:51  They're trying to set these dogs up for success. Lesley Logan 2:52  Yeah. And when you buy a dog, you don't know. You don't know. You don't know. You have no idea what that puppy's gonna be like. You don't know. So we highly recommend it. Brad Crowell 3:01  We've done that. Lesley Logan 3:02  We all, Bayon was at a kill shelter.Brad Crowell 3:04  Yeah, Gaia, I rescued her. She wasn't from a shelter, but Bayon was at a kill shelter.Lesley Logan 3:06  Before you rescued her, she'd been rescued from another shelter. Look at that dog had been handed over three different families by the time you had gotten her, and she was great.Brad Crowell 3:18  Yeah, four paperwork with four different owners names, yeah. And then August was also in a shelter here in Vegas. Lesley Logan 3:23  Yeah. And he, you know, he took his time (inaudible). Brad Crowell 3:26  Pretty sure they were not a kill shelter here in Vegas, but still, (inaudible) shelter.Lesley Logan 3:28  No, no. So anyways, go find out. If you are unsure of what to do. You can also foster a dog that you think you might like, and then foster fail. Or if you're like, wow, you know, this isn't working out. That's not what I thought. Then you just fostered, and you did, and also, when they're outside of the shelter, they're less stressed out, and they have a lot less fear. So I highly recommend it. Yeah, it's a holiday. Yeah, you're busy. You know what? Cuddling with a dog makes everything better right now, I've been (inaudible). Lesley Logan 3:29  Upcoming events. We're going back to Cambodia. Well, actually, when you hear this, we're literally on the road for the tour. So I'm just going to say that. Brad Crowell 3:59  Well, yeah but Lesley Logan 4:00  We're on the road for the tour.Brad Crowell 4:02  That's the fourth announcement. So, sure. Lesley Logan 4:07  Okay, got it. When we, but soon, we'll be back in Cambodia. And many of you have asked if you could move there. We highly recommend you visiting with us before you ask to move into our house at Cambodia. So yes, we have a house there. You get to stay with us. Go to crowsnestretreats.com to snag your spot in February. I know it's around the corner, but we go at the end of February, so plenty of time to snag your spot.Brad Crowell 4:28  Yeah, and the end of (inaudible), yeah, you can't apply for your visa yet. It's too soon, and still plenty of time to get your plane tickets. So come join us. And like Lesley said, I would recommend coming in and hanging out first before you decide to move permanently. But if you wanted to move permanently, I'm sure you could figure that out too. Lesley Logan 4:46  Yeah, while you're there, you could just stay. They do have rules around that, so you can't just stay. But there's ways around it, all right? There's ways to figure it out. I've only been home for a few days, since the shoot for the Accessories Flash Card Deck. Last deck in the six-deck series of Pilates exercises, we just did it, and it's not our biggest deck, it's not our smallest deck, it's right there in the middle. We want to make sure it's extra affordable to add to your collection. And only those on the waitlist are going to get the presale price. What's the presale price? Well, it's the best price you'll ever get on the deck. So you want to go to opc.me/flashcardwaitlist. I don't know why that's so hard for me to say multiple times, but opc.me/ maybe it's the slash. Brad Crowell 5:30  It's the slash, flash. Lesley Logan 5:31  Flash, flashcard waitlist, yes. Brad Crowell 5:36  opc.me/flashcardwaitlist. Lesley Logan 5:37  Yeah. And it's free to be on the list but you all just had to buy your cards when you're ready. When we have the presale, don't miss it. If you are late, it's too late. Brad Crowell 5:45  All right. So I've been doing accelerator webinars this year, and it's been great. We've had, I mean, I don't know, hundreds of people go through them over the last couple of months, and it's been really nice to get people thinking, challenging them a little bit, and also sharing some of the things that we've learned after coaching more than 2000 businesses about how to make money with your studio and how to double your income, literally. But that's it for this year, because we're obviously on the road right now. I'd love to host them, but I can't trust the internet when we're, I don't even know where we'll be. Lesley Logan 6:16  Time zones. You know, dogs. Brad Crowell 6:18  Time zones, everything. It's complicated. So I'll be picking them back up again next year, and I absolutely encourage you to come join me. It's free. So go to prfit.biz/accelerator. That's profit without the O, dot biz slash accelerator. And that'll help you. If you're feeling stuck in your business at all, this is going to help get the ball rolling for you. So come join me next year. I'd love to have you. Lesley Logan 6:39  Yeah, and then we're on tour. It starts.Brad Crowell 6:43  Tomorrow. Literally, tomorrow. Lesley Logan 6:44  Tomorrow, the first of 22 cities starts tomorrow.Brad Crowell 6:48  But we're already on the road as it stands right now. We left a couple days early, just to. Lesley Logan 6:52  We stayed at Don Hoel's cabin. Brad Crowell 6:55  Don Hoel. Lesley Logan 6:56  Don Hoel.Brad Crowell 6:57   Don Hoel. H-O-E-L in Sedona. Lesley Logan 7:02  Yep and we're super close to that our favorite coffee shop in Sedona (inaudible) Brad Crowell 7:07  Indian Gardens. Yeah, that's a, that place is amazing. But we'll be down in Cottonwood teacher class, and then we head off to Oklahoma City.Lesley Logan 7:16  Oklahoma City. Then it is Atlanta? Brad Crowell 7:19  Huntsville. Lesley Logan 7:20  Oh, Huntsville, Alabama. Alabama is before Atlanta. Brad Crowell 7:22  Yep. And then we're gonna. Lesley Logan 7:24  I know the globe. I know it. I'm gonna.Brad Crowell 7:25  We're gonna pit stop in Nashville to hang with a couple friends before we go down to Atlanta where we teach. Lesley Logan 7:30  Oh, yeah, I got it up now. I got the dates, all right. Then we go to Greensboro, North Carolina. Then we're in DC. I'm gonna tell you this as of the time we're recording this, Huntsville is super sold. It's been so fucking sold out you can't, do not pass go. Meet us in Atlanta. Greensboro then we have Washington DC, that's super sold out both workshops and or both classes and workshops. Brad Crowell 7:52  For those in Washington DC, you can swing around the bay and join us in Virginia Beach later or you can go north to Hershey. Lesley Logan 8:00  Hold on, stick around. You'll find out where we're going next. Lesley Logan 8:02  So Hershey, Pennsylvania, at the time recording this has one spot in the class, and the workshop is almost sold out. Then we're going to Portland Maine. Then we're coming back down to Boston, Massachusetts, only room in the workshop there. Cape Cod, Massachusetts, only room in the workshop there. Greenwich, Connecticut. We have a mat class. Virginia Beach, you can, that's for those DC people, you can come around to the Virginia Beach, there'e spot in the workshop.Brad Crowell 8:25  I mean, it's a three-hour drive, I think, for them, from DC. But, come join.Lesley Logan 8:27  Whatever. Those Virginia Beach people drove down to Greensboro, it's like seven hours or something. Brad Crowell 8:32  So here's what's crazy y'all. Last year we were in Greensboro, and five people drove from Virginia Beach to Greensboro, which is five plus hours drive. And this year we decided to go to them. So, you know, come surprise us. Come hang out. We are, we love your enthusiasm. Come and hang.Lesley Logan 8:48  We're going to Charleston, South Carolina, then Miami, last class of the of the year of 2024, but not the tour. Then we head up to Tampa, Florida, Pensacola, Florida, which, at the time we're recording this, I think it's, someone just bought all the tickets.Brad Crowell 9:04  I think the workshop has like. Lesley Logan 9:05  I think it's sold out. Brad Crowell 9:07  That's it. Sold out. Lesley Logan 9:07  There's room in the class. Brad Crowell 9:08  Yeah, room in the class. Lesley Logan 9:09  New Orleans, that class has been sold out. But you, at the time we're recording this, had three spots left in your workshop. I don't think that that's gonna last. Austin, Texas, we are coming back. Your class is sold out, but there are room, there is room in the workshops because Aligned Pilates has such a huge space, which is really, really nice. Dallas, Texas, that class is sold out, but there's room in the workshop Lubbock, Texas and then Phoenix, Arizona. That's where we're ending. Class is sold out, but a few spots left in the workshop. You guys, this tour is more than 50% sold out at the time we're recording this, which is three weeks before we start, which means this is going to be huge. It's going to be a party. Brad Crowell 9:45  It is going to be a party. Lesley Logan 9:46  You don't want to miss it. And also, if you haven't seen the merch.Brad Crowell 9:48  She has good merch. I was just gonna say that.Lesley Logan 9:53  opc.me/tourmerchBrad Crowell 9:54  Yeah. Go to opc.me/tourmerch our designer made us look like we are, rock stars. Lesley Logan 9:59  Rappers. Brad Crowell 10:00  Yeah, we're in a band looking awesome.Lesley Logan 10:02  Yeah, it's so great. I'm gonna, I'm obviously bringing the pink coat on this tour. We can't leave it behind, you know. Anyways, before we get into the episode, we had a question from someone on YouTube.Brad Crowell 10:14  Yeah, we totally did. So Pie and Lattes on YouTube asked hey, "Is there a secret to reducing spring noise on a [Pilates] chair?" Lesley Logan 10:26  Yeah. So first of all, all equipment like Cadillac tower type stuff, those can make noise. Even some of the springs on the reformer can make some noise. I haven't really had that as much of an issue as for sure, the tower and the Wunda chair. Here's what I've noticed. When it gets colder, my chair makes different noises. Brad Crowell 10:44  Oh, that's interesting.Lesley Logan 10:44  There's a weather situation to it. The other thing is, if you get some 3-IN-ONE and you put it on a cloth, and then you take the cloth and you wipe the inside of the ringlet that the hooks are on. Brad Crowell 10:45  Oh, sure. Lesley Logan 10:45  That kind of oils it up.Brad Crowell 10:51  Because the spring is kind of sliding (inaudible).Lesley Logan 11:02  Yeah. So it's just metal on metal. So you just take some 3-IN-ONE, and you. Brad Crowell 11:05  What is 3-IN-ONE? Lesley Logan 11:06  I don't, it's like an oil. So honestly, okay, do not try this without talking to your manufacturer. But one like. Brad Crowell 11:13  Oh, yeah, it's just an oil. Lesley Logan 11:14  She didn't want to go buy 3-IN-ONE, so she just took olive oil and she just sprayed it on her chair hooks. And that's fine, too. I think it don't, I wouldn't spray on the springs, but on the hook.Brad Crowell 11:24  I mean, a bottle of 3-IN-ONE is 3.79. Lesley Logan 11:28  Yeah. So you're take, so I saw this guy, he just sprayed it on the eye hook of things, but then it kind of like, didn't drip, but it cuddled on the eye hook. So I honestly, just douse a towel and I wipe the inside. And if you and I only really have to do that in the cold season, I don't really need to do it on the (inaudible). I don't know. I think it depends on where you are, but that's how you do it. And then the other thing you can do is actually change how the hooks, not every chair lets you do this, but some chairs let you, like my Contrology chair, I can share, I can change which way the hooks kind of open up a little bit. So I can. Brad Crowell 12:04  Just twist it. Lesley Logan 12:05  I can just twist it just a little bit. And sometimes that also just that also helps. So check your weather. Maybe warm up your house a little bit also, I'm not saying make your house humid, but have a humidifier in there that can also just keep things feeling really good, you know, like, one of those little store ones not gonna rust your springs, like you're in Maui or something like that. But that's what I would suggest you do. And if you're like, What is a Wunda chair, what is 3-IN-ONE? Hi, I'm Lesley Logan. Welcome to the podcast. We answer random questions here. I am a wealth of knowledge.Brad Crowell 12:06  And humble too. If you have a question, feel free to text it to us, 310-905-5534, text us and just say hey, question for the pod, or you can send us a voicemail on Instagram or whatever. Yeah. Anyway, love it. Love the questions. Keep them coming. Thank you very much. Stick around. We're going to be talking about, how can somebody do 48 competitions, fitness competitions in 48 days, in just a minute. Brad Crowell 13:03  Okay. Welcome back. Okay. Kelsey Lensman is a nutrition, fitness and mindset coach with expertise in sports medicine and training techniques, a former Ohio State rower. Kelsey founded, Xpand Your Limits, to empower women to reach their strongest, most confident selves. Known for her Mission48 journey, completing 48 fitness competitions in 48 states, over 48 days. Kelsey is passionate about helping others step out of their comfort zones, do hard things and discover what they are truly capable of. Lesley Logan 13:36  Can you imagine, this is not like she did 48 Iron Mans not that it's easy to train for that, but you know what to expect. You know how to train for that. Like we talked about the podcast, there was just, like, random things that she was doing. And so you're.Brad Crowell 13:48  Yeah. So you're not necessarily fully trained for all the things all the time.Lesley Logan 13:51  But I love this, because you're doing the best you can. If you can't go, I'm not going to do that. It's like, No, you set to do 48 things in 48 days. And so I love the commitment. I love the willingness to be bad at something. I'm not that she is could be bad anything. The girl is so fucking strong, it's annoying, but like,Brad Crowell 14:08  But also the perseverance, the determination, the consistency. I mean, I also, I don't know if she, she must have had somebody drive around, whether she. Lesley Logan 14:16  She had to fly 48 states in 48 days. I know that the East Coast is close together, but you can't even get through California to Oregon on the same day. Brad Crowell 14:26  Yeah, no, you can't, but it's possible they just drove all night. She slept. Lesley Logan 14:31  Kelsey, we want to know. Brad Crowell 14:31  We want to know if you (inaudible) we didn't ask that question. But that's a, that curiosity.Lesley Logan 14:38  She also filmed the whole thing just like a documentary. Brad Crowell 14:40  Oh, that's really cool. That's smart. That's a great, so then she clearly didn't do it alone. She definitely had a team. Lesley Logan 14:45  So then she had a camera on. Oh my gosh. Can you imagine? You're like, I feel like fit today, and now I've got to go rucksack something and crawl on my arms and like, rucking, and my elbows, and rucking me.Brad Crowell 14:56  Just gotta rucksack this one. Lesley Logan 14:58  But I also love that she said you gotta be ready for the curveballs. And I think what's really cool about what she did is, like, how great it is to train your mind and body that you can kind of handle what's coming at you. And I think a lot of times we get stuck in our ways, and a lot of us are feeling a little overwhelmed, but like, all the curveballs come in our way, and we're like, we're not kind of able to roll with it, (inaudible) on some things. But I like that she did this. I like that she trained like this. I think it's really inspirational. You guys don't have to be into fitness to do this. You can actually think like, what could I commit to over a period of time that would challenge me in my comfort zone and just be okay with giving it a try? What could I do? Brad Crowell 15:35  Yeah, I was just, it was called Project 48 right? Oh Mission48, Mission48 because I was wondering, did she what? Lesley Logan 15:42  I don't think the documentary is out as of this. Brad Crowell 15:46  So I was thinking, why did she do it? And she said on her website, it says, I'm on a mission to complete 48 competitions in 48 states in 48 days to inspire women and girls to step out of their comfort zones and show themselves they are stronger than they think. So it doesn't seem like she got paid to do this.Lesley Logan 16:03  No, no, she did not. She paid.Brad Crowell 16:05  In fact, she had to pay to do this.Lesley Logan 16:05  She had to pay all these things. Pay the team. That's the other thing that I think is really interesting. I was talking about this with Michele Wispelway from the first longevity episode, we were (inaudible) live today, and she was talking how she trained for a half marathon. And, you know, she's older, and when she used to run, it used to hurt her, and now it doesn't, because now she like, prepared herself for these things. And she's like, yeah, I want to show my daughter, and I want to show the women around me that just because I'm older doesn't mean I can't do this. I'm just going to reside myself. I can never run again. And I think, like, it's cool what Kelsey is doing and other people, you might even be doing. It's like putting yourself into a position where you're uncomfortable, and then tell people about it so that they can be inspired. And if your first reaction is, must be nice for Kelsey, you need to understand, that is the worst, if you are, if you've been programmed to say that, I'm going to call it programming, because I do think that someone told you that in your family, and then you've been repeating it, you ask yourself, oh, I wonder how you did that. How did you set the time aside? How did you afford to do that? What were something, like, be curious, because then you can find out, like, oh, they invested a lot of time. They invest a lot of money. This is a big risk, but it was part of the impact they wanted to make. Brad Crowell 17:21  Yeah, and it looks like she partnered up with ROX, Ruling Our Experiences. It's a 501c(3) that develops confident girls who control their own relationships, experiences, decisions and futures. So it's a developing confident girls. So I just pulled up her full map for the event, and. Lesley Logan 17:39  She skipped California and did Alaska. Brad Crowell 17:41  I was just.Lesley Logan 17:42  I'm joking. I don't know. I don't have it in front of me. Wouldn't that be funny? She was like, it's too long.Brad Crowell 17:47  No, no, it's every state in the United States contiguous states. So she skipped Alaska and Hawaii, those are the two she skipped. Otherwise, she did all 48 contiguous states, you know, like, I know we said 48 states in 48 days but looking at themLesley Logan 18:04  Do you, like, think she repeated Florida or something? What do you think happened? Brad Crowell 18:08  She just went between Georgia and Florida 24 times in each state. 48 states, 48 days.Lesley Logan 18:13  That's the most boring drive. I would die. Brad Crowell 18:17  No, she went from, like, Pennsylvania, she went from Pensacola to Mobile, Alabama, just like. Lesley Logan 18:21  Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Brad Crowell 18:23  No, no, no, no, no.Lesley Logan 18:24  And by the way, Florida, I don't hate you. It's just you gotta be honest with you gotta (inaudible) is pretty boring and windy.Brad Crowell 18:31  Yeah, and windy, and windy. But no, it's impressive to see all the pins on the map she has on her site. Anyway, impressive. Incredible. Go Kelsey. So I really loved when she was talking about courage. She stressed that courage in the pursuit is something that you should be so damn proud of, right? Just think about for every one of you who has decided to change your career and teach Pilates instead of do whatever you want to college for because none of us went to college to teach Pilates, right? Or maybe you decided that. Lesley Logan 19:01  There are a few people who got their Pilates certification out of college. It does happen. Brad Crowell 19:05  It is real? That can happen? I mean, kinesiology, I can understand, or, like. Lesley Logan 19:09  (inaudible) community college, or people became a PT, if you're like Brad and I and you went to college for a degree that you technically don't use, and paid a ton of money for it.Brad Crowell 19:21  Or for those of you who were teaching somewhere and decided to venture out on your own and open your own space, there are so many variables and so many unknowns, and we try to support everyone that we can through Profitable Pilates with those kinds of decisions in our industry. But still, it's a scary thing, right? And for Kelsey, I mean, just think about that, could you do 48 things in 48 days, let alone compete?Lesley Logan 19:45  I would say, in my 30s, not a problem. In my 30s, if you and I had done the a 30 day, a 40 day tour, or something like that, I would be like, that sounds so fun. Brad Crowell 19:57  Babe, you're not a day older than 29 What are you talking about? Lesley Logan 19:59  Yeah, but I will say currently, today, I could do every other day for 48 days, or I could do five day and I just, here's what.Brad Crowell 20:10  Needs some days off.Lesley Logan 20:10  I think. And also, let me just, let me just caveat this, I probably could have done her thing, the competition thing. Not that I would like to go rucking.Brad Crowell 20:20  Rucksacking? Lesley Logan 20:20  Yeah, doesn't mean I'll crawl my hands and elbows, but like, probably could have been physically active 48 days in 48 states. I think for me, what I just why, I think I (inaudible) is like, I'm pouring into people. I'm leading the things for 48 that I could do. But if I was to, could I read a book, one book a day for 48 days? I could do that. Brad Crowell 20:39  Of course, of course.Lesley Logan 20:40  Could I participate in the competition? Brad Crowell 20:42  No, I think it's about the physicality, is what I meant. Anyway, the reality is, it's a scary thought. There's a lot of unknowns. Lesley Logan 20:48  She's now doing 100-mile. Brad Crowell 20:50  That's and she's actually running on the second to last day of the year, or the last day of the year, can't remember, but we should all wish her luck, y'all on on the IG.Lesley Logan 20:58  (inaudible) we were squishy. We're cheering you on, and we're so excited you're doing this.Brad Crowell 21:02  But she's talking about something being, you know, be proud of yourself to even pursue it. It takes courage. And so she said, the courage in the pursuit is something you should be so damn proud of. Courage in continual persistence is something to be proud of from a daily standpoint. Lesley Logan 21:17  Yeah, I think that that's worth rehearing from her and us, were you saying the courage and the pursuit of something you should be just so damn proud of? I think we all have been, maybe not all, but I there's that importance of winning. If you don't win, you've lost, and I think that can hurt really. It can sting really bad when you work so hard for playing, but really, actually just in attempting something and trying and putting yourself out there and putting yourself an experience that's not something everyone is doing, and being proud of what you actually did do is really, really cool, and you can actually learn from that, versus being obsessed with a failure, you don't learn from anything like judging yourself or being hard on yourself. I know we talked about it in the episode. I'm almost positive, but there is a hormone that actually you get even from just the pursuit of doing something, not the completion of it. Brad Crowell 22:04  Oh, okay. Lesley Logan 22:05  You actually get dopamine from the pursuit.Brad Crowell 22:07  Oh, yeah, yeah. We talked about this today or yesterday. Lesley Logan 22:11  Yeah, yeah. You actually get dopamine from the pursuit. And so you don't actually have. Brad Crowell 22:17  That's the journey. Lesley Logan 22:18  Yeah, it's all about the you know that cliche, even your body cares about that cliche. So, yeah, I think I don't know she's really cool. Makes me want to do, I won't do 48 things in 48 days, but I will do something that challenged me outside my comfort zone in 2025Brad Crowell 22:33  All right, well stick around. We're going to cover those, be it action items, in just a minute. Brad Crowell 22:37  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 Kelsey Lensman? Lesley Logan 22:48  Why don't you go first? Brad Crowell 22:49  Okay, I'll go first this time. For those of you who don't know what she's laughing at she's laughing at me. Lesley Logan 22:55  There'll be a blooper. You can hear it at the end.Brad Crowell 22:57  There might be a blooper at the end. All right, here we go. So she said, hey, you have to say no to some things, even if the people-pleaser in you would have said yes. Okay? And so she was talking about when she made the decision to, well, do the 48 in 48 in 48 that causes you to make a change, because now you have to be hyper aware of some things, and you have to make sure you're getting enough sleep. You have to make sure all the things so you're going to change a lot in the short term to get that long term goal. So you have to be willing to say no to some things, even if you are a people pleaser. Lesley Logan 23:32  You know what's really cool? There's a book called Stop Pleasing out there the world, y'all, and I think if that Be It Action Item is something like, oh, I don't know if I could do it. Then there's a, there's some reading material to go along with it. Because I agree, you have to be able to say no to things. Otherwise you can't do the 48 in 48. You can't even. Like, it's some people like, they want to read more. I had everyone asked the other day, babe, you and I, like, (inaudible) to all of our books that we really love. And people were like, please distract me. What should I read? And we're like, here's 17,000 books. And like, how do you have time? And it's like, what? You gotta say no to the things that do not lift you up. You know?Brad Crowell 24:07  Yeah. So she talked about enforcing boundaries and how that contributed to her development. Allowed her to prioritize her goal over pleasing others. It enabled her to build a stronger, more focused mindset around the 48 for 48. And I think there still needs to be some kind of a reward, even though the journey does give you dopamine, there still needs to be some kind of celebration at the end, after you complete this goal, this big goal. But, you know, I think that boundaries are hard, so we get that. But she said you just have to be really focused on where you're going, where you're headed. Lesley Logan 24:39  Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Brad Crowell 24:40  What about you?Lesley Logan 24:41  Sign up for something that scares the crap out of you. Brad Crowell 24:44  Oh, I love that. Lesley Logan 24:44  Yeah. So you don't have to do what she did, but find something that scares you. I've talked about it before on the pod, but just in case you forgot, on my 40th birthday, I went to the circus place. Is that what we were talking about, did I talk about it in this episode? Brad Crowell 24:56  Yes, you were talking about it with her. Lesley Logan 24:57  Well, if you didn't listen to it, I did that, and it was. I was like, oh, my God, it's so embarrassing. And also, it was so great, right? I probably should go try the trapeze, but I will never let go of that trapeze like stuck in the middle, off to crawl across the net. Anyways. But.Brad Crowell 25:15  Well, side note, you mentioned that it's a 40,000 square foot facility, and you said Brad will probably correct me, so I went to their website, okay? Because I was now very curious, and then I literallyLesley Logan 25:25  Anyone who had not listened to that episode, I was talking about this huge circus school. Brad Crowell 25:29  It's called The Circus Center, Las Vegas Circus Center. Lesley Logan 25:32  And it's not 40,000 square feet, babe, how many square feet? Brad Crowell 25:35  It's 52,000 square feet. Lesley Logan 25:38  52,000 square feet. He had a call, and they gave it to him. Brad Crowell 25:40  It is massive. Lesley Logan 25:41  And then that made me go what's the rent on 52,000 square feet? Brad Crowell 25:46  It's a warehouse. It's like a huge warehouse but all done up on the inside. Lesley Logan 25:51  Does anyone get, does anyone get rentals for under $1 a square foot? Brad Crowell 25:54  There has to be, it has to be. Lesley Logan 25:55  It has to be. Brad Crowell 25:56  No way that the rent is 50 grand a month. Lesley Logan 25:58  There's no way. 50 grand a month. Brad Crowell 25:58  No way. Yeah, that's insane. Lesley Logan 26:01  Anyways, it's really cool. You should all check it out if you're into that kind of stuff. And they have stuff for all ages, but sign up for something that scares the crap out of you. I love that this episode is coming out at the end of, towards the end of this year, before it's our last, is it our last interview before we have all of our special episodes? I think it might be. Brad Crowell 26:16  It might be, let me check that. Lesley Logan 26:18  I think coming up is a bunch of, like, really cool episode that we've got for you, I guess we should explain what that's going to be. Brad Crowell 26:23  Yeah. Oh, we did an intro on the next episode. Lesley Logan 26:26  Yeah. So what I hope you do as the rest of December comes up is like, notice what intrigues you. Notice what you're like, oh, I could never do that. And then ask yourself, well, what if I did? And then she said, show up and endure the process, and learn a lot about yourself in the process of it. So grab a journal and write, or even on your notes on your phone. I feel really anxious right now. And then, after you do it, write down how you feel. Give it a try, because you're going to learn so many things about yourself. And every time we go on tour, even though the tour itself is something we've done before, because every tour is unique, we're in different cities all the time. There's different things. We're always reflected, always learning about myself. I'm like, oh, wow, I don't do well if I don't get this kind of sleep, or if I didn't get this kind of workout, or oh, if this happens, I need this. And so you learn about yourself, and so you get better every single time you do something that's kind of being it till you see it. Really, that's what it is. Do something that scares the crap out of you and learn about yourself as you do it.Brad Crowell 27:23  Yeah, I love it. I was thinking about that. What is it that scares the crap out of me that I always hesitated to do? Lesley Logan 27:29  A consistent Pilates practice. Brad Crowell 27:32  Terrified. Well, I was thinking, you know, I've jumped out of planes and I haven't jumped off a building, but, you know, I've like, I don't know, swam in the ocean and stuff, things that can really mess with your head and I.Lesley Logan 27:44  All of those things scare me every time we get into the open water of the ocean. I'm like.Brad Crowell 27:48  But I did recently do something that scared the crap out of me. I went knocking on doors, canvassing, for this last election. I've always been willing to make phone calls and send text messages and donate money. But I've never been willing to go actually knock on doors. And I decided to I was going to go do that. And to be honest, at first, I was kind of worried. I didn't really know what I was getting into. And they partnered me up with someone who didn't have a vehicle because she had flown into Nevada to participate and she didn't have a car, so I did, and so we kind of became a pair, but she then had her flight home during my last shift that I signed up for, so I was then knocking on doors by myself. And then Daylight Savings Time happened. So it was dark at like 4:35pm and I was like, it's not even that late, but it's feels so dark right now. And then I was knocking on doors in people's neighborhood in the dark. And I was like, this is probably not that wise, but it was actually I what I found was I had only one person yell at me, and I knocked on almost 150 doors, and she answered the door anyway, and then got hissy and was frustrated, but it was actually really cool to just meet people, and I feel proud of myself for doing it, for being willing to do it, even though it's something that yeah, that actually scared me. Lesley Logan 29:05  Yeah, yeah. I think that's really cool. I think a lot of people did a lot of things this last election that were probably outside of what they normally do. And I think to go back to what she said at the beginning, which is, it's gotta be ready for curveballs, and you've got to have the courage and the pursuit of something you should be so damn proud. And so for all of you, we had so many listeners add Brad who were like, Brad was not a first time participant in helping people vote and understand how to vote, but a lot of you reached out like, this is the first time you got involved in the election, and you were really trying hard, and it was such a disappointment. Brad Crowell 29:40  Yeah. It was. Lesley Logan 29:43  I'm still not over it, but you have to know what you did really does matter. Did matter, and it's just the start of it. And you learn something about yourself. You learn about what it took to do those things. You learned that you had the courage to step out and tell people like this is what I care about and this is why you should care about it. And have you looked at this? That is not easy to do. Most people just sit there and take it. And some of you just went through Thanksgiving sitting there having to take it, and some of you are thinking about the hell you're gonna do it at Christmas, and may I suggest you don't. But also you can stand up for yourself, and you can say what you believe, and you can say what matters to you and what you're proud of, and you can have a different opinion without being antagonistic, and you can hold space for other people. And Brad talked on over 150 homes, and only had one person get hissy about it. That's kind of. Brad Crowell 30:35  And they were all 100% strangers. I kept wondering if I was going to bump into somebody that I knew. No. Didn't happen. Lesley Logan 30:41  We don't know that many people.Brad Crowell 30:46  The statistics are not there. Lesley Logan 30:48  I know. Could you imagine what if I knocked on the doors? And they're like, aren't you a Pilates instructor? Anyways, I think this is a great last interview of the year. It's technically not we have one more coming up. Brad Crowell 31:01  The 10th is the new. Lesley Logan 31:03  Yes, but the last Tuesday of the year. Brad Crowell 31:06  Oh, yeah, we do. Lesley Logan 31:07  We're getting your astrological readings for Pluto into Aquarius and Uranus into Scorpio. And if all of that sounds like gibberish to you, do not worry. We'll explain it all, and we hit everyone's sun signs, and we have the best time doing it. And between Kelsey and Mom & Me Astrology, I feel like we're ready to take on, well, I'm not ready, but we can. We can take on 2025. Plus, okay, you're gonna hear it on the next episode, but we have gone through all 400 and something episodes, and just the interviews, really, and pulled out some of our favorite parts when it comes to relationships or work or bold moments or tips, whatever, and we've put them in episodes, and they're not long. And hopefully, what this does is remind you of episodes either you haven't heard in a long time or you haven't heard yet, and gives you something to do this holiday season. If you feel like an alien in your family, we see you. And when you have air pods in your ears, you can say you're on a work call, and you can go work man, and you just, I gotta listen. And you can just sit there and listen. And you can be in your own world, getting bored into, whether or not you're in a place that feels like you're (inaudible). So I hope this helps. I hope maybe you can share those with a friend to help them, like have a potpourri of Be It interviews to hear about.Brad Crowell 32:26  Yeah, absolutely. Well, thanks so much for joining us. Lesley Logan 32:29  I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 32:30  And I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan 32:31  You're amazing.

On this week's podcast, Pat Cobe, senior menu editor of Restaurant Business, and Bret Thorn, senior food & beverage editor of Nation's Restaurant News and Restaurant Hospitality, discussed Bret's trip to the San Francisco Bay area, where he went for The Culinary Institute of America's annual Worlds of Flavor conference in Napa.  The theme this year was Borders, Migration, and the Evolution of Culinary Tradition, which Bret acknowledged was quite a mouthful, but basically it was a discussion of how cooks adjust their food based on what ingredients are available and what customs and traditions are around them, as well as their own life experiences. In short: It's all fusion. Highlights included a demonstration of southern Italian spaghetti and tomato sauce made like it was risotto and accompanied by a lecture of how spaghetti and tomatoes got to Italy, and lentil fritters that combined the traditions of West Africa and East Africa. Bret then spent the weekend in San Francisco, and a culinary highlight was a pastrami sandwich with horseradish and red pepper aïoli at Mario's Bohemian Cigar Store Café in the North Beach neighborhood.  Pat stayed in New York City and checked out a Cambodian restaurant called Bayon. It was her first time trying that particular cuisine and she found it lighter and more subtle than the cuisines of its neighbors, Vietnam and Thailand. She also had brunch at Sarabeth's, a long-standing concept with four locations in New York City, where she enjoyed tasty popovers and mushrooms with eggs. Then Bret shared an interview with Cheng Lin, chef and owner of Shota Omakase in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Williamsburg. The chef discussed the importance of rice in sushi and of cultivating regular customers.

Un petit plouf, une bonne dose de vitamines et de soleil : ça vous dit ? Alors écoutez cet épisode du Déclic enregistré depuis Madrid avec Madeleine Bayon. Ancienne gymnaste acrobatique en équipe de France, elle est désormais plongeuse extrême. Dans cet épisode, elle se livre sur son parcours, nous parle des difficultés rencontrées suite à son arrêt de la voltige, de comment elle a su se réinventer en tant que sportive, de son rapport à la compétition, à la peur et aux sensations. 

J'espère que vous n'avez pas trop le vertige, car dans le prochain épisode du Déclic, ça va voler aux côtés de Madeleine Bayon ! Après des années de gymnastique à haut niveau, alors âgée de 17 ans : elle met fin à sa carrière de gymnaste. Une épreuve très difficile pour la jeune sportive. C'était sans compter sur sa rencontre avec le plongeon extrême quelques années plus tard.Aujourd'hui, Madeleine est la première et la seule Française à avoir disputé une célèbre compétition au niveau international, en high diving : une discipline de plongeon à 20 mètres.  Le reste de l'histoire ? Découvrez-la cette semaine dans le Déclic.➡️ Épisode disponible en intégralité le mercredi 16 octobre.

Maëlig Le Bayon, tout nouveau Directeur Général de la Caisse Nationale de Solidarité pour l'Autonomie est au micro de Frédéric Cloteaux. Habitué des cabinets ministériels et spécialiste des sujets de handicap et d'autonomie, il poursuit et amplifie l'action du service public de l'autonomie en mettant l'accent sur les 9 millions d'aidants qui seront à l'honneur durant la journée nationale des aidants le 6 octobre prochain. Leur reconnaissance a pris du temps ainsi que le déploiement de solutions innovantes pour accompagner celles et ceux qui sacrifient une partie de leur vie personnelle, professionnelle pour d'autres. Parmi eux, de jeunes aidants parfois mineurs, démunis devant des situations ingérables pour eux. Un sujet que Maëlig Le Bayon connait bien et ne prend pas à la légère. Comme celui du Facile à Lire et à Comprendre (FALC) sur lequel il lance un appel à projets inédit, portant sur la création théâtrale avec une triple ambition : l'adaptation des grandes pièces classiques en FALC, la création originale dans ce langage et favoriser l'inclusion dans les théatres et sur scène de personnels et acteurs concernés par les handicaps pour lesquels le FALC est la seule solution pour comprendre cet art et les autres. La Team CGI est un acteur engagé en faveur du recrutement, de l'inclusion, de la formation et du maintien de l'emploi des personnes en situation de handicap. Elle vient de composer son équipe d'athlètes handisport autours de ses valeurs, marrainée par Cécile Hernandez, championne paralympique de snowboardcross et athlète para surf.

Hemos conducido y os contamos todos los secretos de estos dos coches: Nuevo Hyundai Bayon: El Hyundai Bayon cuenta con dos puertos USB-C, uno en la parte delantera y otro en la trasera, que permiten cargar varios dispositivos tecnológicos al mismo tiempo. Además, el puerto USB-A frontal posibilita la transferencia de datos, lo que facilita conectar el teléfono al sistema de infoentretenimiento del vehículo. Entre otros aspectos destacados, ofrece un maletero con una capacidad de 411 litros y múltiples funciones de conducción semiautónoma, como el asistente de mantenimiento de carril y el sistema de prevención de colisiones frontales, que detecta vehículos, peatones y ciclistas. En cuanto a motorización, el Bayon está disponible con un motor de gasolina de 79 CV o una versión mild hybrid de 100 CV, ambos asociados a una transmisión manual o automática de 7 velocidades. Los precios comienzan en 23.455 euros. La versión híbrida destaca por llevar la etiqueta ECO de la DGT, que ofrece varias ventajas, además de ser eficiente y cómoda para la conducción urbana, gracias a sus dimensiones compactas. Aunque la versión de gasolina tiene algo menos de potencia, sigue siendo adecuada para la conducción diaria. Nuevo Audi Q6 e-tron: El lema "A la vanguardia de la técnica" se adapta perfectamente al nuevo modelo Audi, que estrena la plataforma PPE (Plataforma Premium Eléctrica). Esta evolución comenzó en 2018 con el Audi e-tron y el Audi e-tron Sportback, seguido del Audi e-tron GT en 2020, el Q4 e-tron en 2021, y ahora en 2024, con el nuevo Audi Q6 e-tron. Próximamente, se lanzarán el A6 e-tron y su versión Sportback. Aunque Audi continúa apostando por la combustión, con el lanzamiento del Audi A5 en 2024 sobre la nueva plataforma PPC, también está previsto que llegue el Audi Q5 en ese año. Además, habrá una versión Audi Q6 RS. En España, existen 35.698 puntos de recarga operativos, pero para cumplir con los objetivos se necesitarían 63.000, lo que supone un déficit del 45%. De estos puntos, un 25% no está en funcionamiento (9.145), y mientras la media de puntos de recarga por millón de habitantes en España es de 740, la media europea es de 1.408 (Fuente: ANFAC). El Audi Q6 e-tron se basa en los principios de ADN Audi, rendimiento BEV, eficiencia y experiencia tecnológica. Es el primer modelo de la futura generación de Audi, con un diseño inspirado en el Audi e-tron GT, visible en las formas del capó, la inserción "e-tron" en las puertas, y el frontal. Mantiene los característicos blisters quattro en las aletas traseras, inspirado en el Audi Quattro de rallyes, y tiene un pilar D muy inclinado que le aporta deportividad, junto con luces LED y una tira lumínica trasera. Sus dimensiones son de 4,77 metros de largo, un maletero de 526 litros (más otros 64 litros en el frontal) y una distancia entre ejes de 2,8 metros. Además, tiene una capacidad de remolque de casi 3 toneladas. Está disponible en 8 colores, con llantas de entre 19 y 21 pulgadas en 6 diseños distintos. El interior ha sido completamente renovado, con un enfoque muy digital. Incluye dos pantallas OLED: una de 12 pulgadas tras el volante y otra de 14,5 pulgadas en la consola central, además de una tercera pantalla de 11 pulgadas para el copiloto, que no es visible desde el asiento del conductor. Los asientos ofrecen varias opciones de configuración, incluso con altavoces integrados en los reposacabezas, lo que permite que solo el usuario que hable por teléfono lo escuche. En cuanto a la iluminación, el Q6 e-tron introduce la tecnología digital OLED 2.0, con 61 segmentos LED en los faros delanteros y 360 segmentos OLED en los pilotos traseros, que permiten hasta 8 firmas lumínicas configurables. Los pilotos traseros aumentan su brillo si detectan que otro vehículo se acerca demasiado y pueden mostrar señales de advertencia en forma de triángulo al aparcar. A nivel tecnológico, incorpora un HUD de realidad aumentada con formas dinámicas, un nuevo asistente de voz con IA capaz de gestionar hasta 200 funciones, y la posibilidad de utilizar aplicaciones de terceros como YouTube o Spotify. En cuanto a seguridad, cuenta con 30 asistentes a la conducción de serie, mientras que el asistente de conducción adaptativa 4.0 con datos swarm es opcional, ayudando a mantener el vehículo en el centro del carril y utilizando información de tráfico en tiempo real. El sistema de suspensión incluye una amortiguación de frecuencia selectiva, que se adapta a las irregularidades del terreno para mejorar el confort, además de la suspensión neumática que permite una variación de 75 mm en la altura del vehículo. La plataforma PPE combina la tecnología avanzada de la plataforma J1 del e-tron GT con la facilidad de industrialización de la plataforma MEB del Q4, permitiendo ajustar parámetros como la altura libre al suelo y la longitud. El sistema de carga soporta hasta 270 kW, logrando cargar del 10 al 80% en solo 21 minutos, lo que permite obtener 255 km de autonomía en 10 minutos de carga. Su batería de 100 kW tiene una autonomía de 639 km según el ciclo WLTP y se refrigera con aceite, lo que mejora su eficiencia. El modelo ofrece tracción trasera y tracción quattro, con precios que parten de 71.990 € para la versión de tracción trasera con batería de 77 kW y 185 kW de potencia. La versión quattro comienza en 79.990 € con batería de 100 kW y 285 kW de potencia. La versión más potente, el SQ6, tiene un precio desde 104.900 €, con una potencia de 516 CV.

You know. Like if you want to become full, that's fine but like if there's like this inside of you to do more, do more because what you do is leave room for people who are below you to come up. And if we hold ourselves back, it means the next people, there's a ceiling for them. They can't go any higher with you. Lesley Logan 0:20  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 1:02  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 in the empowering convo I had with Monica Linda. Captivating convo. I mean like amazing convo. Second time Monica Linda is to be back and if you missed her first one, well,Brad Crowell 1:15  Shame on you. Lesley Logan 1:15  Shame. Oh my God, with that, that's terrible. You should go back and listen to what we just had and then the first one and then both recaps.Brad Crowell 1:25  She was in episode nine, I think it was. Lesley Logan 1:28  Thirteen. Brad Crowell 1:29  We're gonna look it up. I'm pretty sure you said nine in the last episode.Lesley Logan 1:32  Did I say nine and I was right?Brad Crowell 1:33  I don't know. I just took your word for it.Lesley Logan 1:37  I am really awesome. The other day we look something up and how fucking amazing was I on it? I was so right on it because it was I'm just sometimes I'm just really (inaudible) Brad Crowell 1:45  Nine and ten. Lesley Logan 1:46  Nine and ten. I was right. Okay, I should never doubt myself. Anyway. You can you know, if you're listening to this on the Apple, then of course Apple, it's gonna show you the latest one. So listen to these because they're awesome. And then go back and listen that one. If you're on the onlinepilatesclasses.com app, you can see a bunch of episodes and then you can choose whichever one you want to listen to based on the title. Like a roulette game. Brad Crowell 2:12  Yeah, before we get in. Brad Crowell 2:13  Before we get into that episode. Today is January 11th 2024. And it is Step in a puddle and Splash Your Friends Day. Claire Solly, is this your day? Like did you submit this day? Shout out to Claire if she's listening, because that's who I pictured with this one. If you are a rain lover, a child or a child at heart you should definitely not miss a chance to have fun outside on January 11th, which is Step in a Puddle and splash your friends day. Jump in the puddle on wet some friends. Oh to be a child again. I you know what my brain is pictured? Like, what if it's not a puddle of water?Brad Crowell 2:48  What? What would it be a puddle of milk? Lesley Logan 2:51  Muck Brad Crowell 2:52  Pee? Like what are we what are we stepping in a puddle of? What is happening over here? Where is your mind? Where is your mind?Lesley Logan 3:04  Okay, so you guys, when it rains here in Vegas, it's like monsoon-like rain. And it's not actually cold even when it's like cold here when it rains like it's not actually cold rain, right? So I'll just walk in the rain because I'm not I'll look at the lightning and I'll count the thunder and I'm like damn good, right? This is my scientific strategy perfect state to be at. Brad Crowell 3:22  Perfectly proven. Lesley Logan 3:25  Also trees taller than me. So anyways, Brad Crowell 3:31  I just lick my finger and I hold it up and I'm like the wind's coming from that way. Lesley Logan 3:36  Stop it right now you come out in the rain with me. Stop it right now. So okay, so anyways, um, so one day, Bayon and I were coming back from a rainy walk. And we're crossing the street and let me just tell you because of how much rain happens when it rains here. It's like flood and the way that the streets are built so that the streets won't flood they're really high in the center and really low on the sides. Which means when you get to the gutters, it is a river. Okay? Brad Crowell 4:03  It can be a river, it's crazy. Lesley Logan 4:05  I had made the decision this day to wear my knee-high galoshes, which I know Brad looked at me like I was a weirdo when I first bought them but let me just tell you, they are needed because I walk (inaudible). They're needed for me to get through these gutters because I walk in the rain. Okay, so I'm good. Everything's good. We're drenched. It's fine. No big deal. I have an umbrella. Okay, got an umbrella. Doing great. We are crossing the street to come back into our neighborhood. And I have to go through literally a four-foot wide, it's not a puddle, I would call this a pool of water okay, and it is rushing around the corner like it's a it's a straight it's a river and a big city vehicle drives by. You guys, they hit, whatever they hit, I am stepping onto the sidewalk and a waterfall of water comes over my umbrella. Down, down. Somehow part of it splashes on my face and goes up my umbrella. It's unclear how there was a wall of water. And I'm not being overdramatic, this really happened because I did yelp out loud. And then the water went down my knee-high galoshes. They weren't even tall enough. Brad Crowell 5:29  That bus driver must have been laughing so hard. Lesley Logan 5:32  I mean, I wish someone had a ring light  Brad Crowell 5:34  The people on the bus must have been laughing so hard. Lesley Logan 5:36  I really wish that there was like a ring light for like, what happened. Bayon sort of barking of course, because I was like, ah! I did yelp out loud. Anyways, so instead of being the puddle, go splash in one, preferably with knee-high galoshes. Okay. Oh, to be child again. So, um, you guys, it's just the beginning of the year. It is my birthday coming up. So feel free to send me gifts.Brad Crowell 6:02  Yeah, so you can mail them to... come on.Lesley Logan 6:05  Okay, but you guys there, I just met a guy who was wearing this gangster-like diamond 20-inch thick chain with diamonds on it. And I never ever want (inaudible) exactly. Brad Crowell 6:17  But yeah, it was thick. Lesley Logan 6:18  I really want it. And so if you want to send me one, you can. Okay. But anyways, aside from my birthday, eLevate round four, the first weekend kicks off in a couple of weeks. I'm so excited to kick off this round for we're only offering at one time next year. So if you are interested in my mentorship programming, go to lesleylogan.co/elevate. Brad Crowell 6:35  Yes. Lesley Logan 6:36  If it's full, you will get to talk about 2025 because actually, we have a lot of people already signed up for 2025. SoBrad Crowell 6:41  Yeah it's kind of crazy this is starting to sell out for Lesley Logan 6:45  I know further Brad Crowell 6:46  Into the future. Lesley Logan 6:47  Yes.. And then Agency Mini number 10.Brad Crowell 6:51  I can't believe that.Lesley Logan 6:52  Isn't it insane? Because Agency Mini just turned six. First of all, let's just celebrate that.

So yeah, get on the waitlist if you want that deets.Lesley Logan 7:59  Yeah, if you're not on the waitlist you won't get those deets, you'll have to wait and see after the earlybird is over.

So that's lesleylogon.co/retreats Brad Crowell 8:15  Plural. Lesley Logan 8:15  Plural. Brad Crowell 8:16  Yep. lesleylogin.co/retreats. Lesley Logan 8:18  And then because it's on my mind since I just wrapped the first draft of the copy. Brad Crowell 8:24  Yeah, this is exciting.Lesley Logan 8:26  I know the fifth deck, you guys Brad Crowell 8:29  OPC's fifth flashcard deck. Lesley Logan 8:31  Number five. I did half of it in Cambodia in a week and then thought I'll do three cards a day. No problem. Did that for one day and had a problem. I actuallyBrad Crowell 8:43  You slayed that one day. Lesley Logan 8:44  I had too much to do get ready for the winter tour. So the team and I were like okay, well she'll do that while she's on tour and I did and it's done and now it's going through the editing process which means the presale will open up in a couple months and only those on the waitlist will get the presale.Brad Crowell 9:01  That's right. So if you want the presale rate get on the waitlist. Lesley Logan 9:05  You guys, are you (inaudible) something? Brad Crowell 9:06  The waitlist.Lesley Logan 9:07  If you're on business feel free to steal this thing. Brad Crowell 9:09  The waitlist.Lesley Logan 9:11  The waitlist for the flashcards what is it?Brad Crowell 9:15  Just DM us. Go to opc.me/chat and we can get you on the waitlist for the cards. I don't actually remember the link (inaudible). Lesley Logan 9:22  Yeah, I don't either. It's all good. You can do a little extra work and you will get that best, most amazing deal. And this is our fifth of six decks. Okay. Before we talk about the amazing one and only Monica Linda do we have an audience question? Brad Crowell 9:39  We sure do. All right, today's question. I started renting space at someone else's studio. I need to get my own clients. What should I do?Lesley Logan 9:51  This is such a great question. Brad Crowell 9:53  Yeah, I mean, that is and what an awesome predicament to be in. That's super cool that you have a spot that is all yours?Lesley Logan 10:00  To do, to build your own business? Do you know I did that? I rented space for a really long time built a business so big that I could actually have my own brick and mortar and make the same amount of money.Brad Crowell 10:10  Yeah. Well, like, how long did you rent that? Two years? Lesley Logan 10:13  Two years. Brad Crowell 10:14  Yeah. So two years, you had enough clients to be consistent enough to feel confident taking on your own lease? Pretty cool. Lesley Logan 10:23  Yeah. When I started to see that my rent check was actually the same as renting my own space.Brad Crowell 10:27  That's, that's true. Lesley Logan 10:29  Yeah. I probably would have kept renting if it had been easier. But you know, anyways, um, what should you do? It's about you. Let's answer your question. Okay. So, here's the deal. You can sign up for Agency Mini because that's just going to help you. The first workshop at Agency Mini workshop we're going to talk about your ideal client and that we, here's the thing, guys, you, I know, you want to help everyone, I don't care if you're a teacher, I don't care what you offer. If you have a service or a product, you build it for a person with a problem that that thing solves. And you're like, everyone should do my thing. I agree. I want everyone to buy my flashcards. But if we're actually honest about it, a person, a random person on the street is not going to buy the chairs deck, I'm like, not happening, doesn't matter how cheap it is never gonna happen. Brad Crowell 11:16  They probably don't even know what Pilates is.Lesley Logan 11:17  If I gave them the chairs deck, they would probably give it back. So they'd re-gift it to a friend. So you have to be really honest with yourself about who you want to serve. And, and not just everyone like, but like really who and you can get to the psychographics. And that's what we do in Agency Mini, we actually talk about this more psychographics and demographics. And then we do get a little demographicky on the ages. And not because of our ages. But because Brad was just talking to someone the other day who's like, I can help everyone and he's like, so a 75-year-old has different problems than a 21-year-old. They get their information in different spots. And you guys, you I promise you don't want to be on every platform. You don't. You don't. I'm not on TikTok, we have tick tock accounts, I don't know the last time we updated them, because I don't care. I don't, I don't find it's not fruitful for me. And also my people aren't there. So like, it's really important that you know who you're trying to serve. Because until we know that I can actually help you.Brad Crowell 12:12  And like like Lesley said, this is going to be something we're diving way in on inside of Agency Mini during day number one of Mini, which will be on February 11th. So for sure, you should get yourself set up with that go to profitablepilates.com/mini. But there's another step that I'll share briefly. And then we will wrap this up. Lesley Logan 12:37  I had one more step. You tell yours. Brad Crowell 12:38  Oh, I was gonna say, you know, in order for you after you know after you have identified the person that you're wanting to serve, the one that really lights your fire, you got to get yourself out there. But, the fastest way to bring in private clients, or any money to pay for the studio that you've just taken responsibility for or the space that you're renting at least is to be in the community, meet people in the community, you have to be out there in order for them to know that you exist. Lesley Logan 13:09  You want to tell (inaudible) something? Right, this has happened to us, we have spots left, current time of recording this, in my math class in Las Vegas. We were getting our teeth cleaned. And Brad talked to our dentist and got our dentist to sign up. Right there in front of us. You got to talk about things more than you think you just have to be unapologetic about how awesome you are. Because it really does pay off. And Brad has an amazing course. So should you listen to this and Agency Mini number 10 is past. But he has an amazing course on 200 rejections to success. So get that. And then I have a course on how to get clients you actually want to teach. Both of those things, if you are an Agency member, you get a discount on, if you join Agency from Agency Mini, you get. Or you can buy them all card if you totally missed the boat on when this came out. Brad Crowell 14:00  Maybe, maybe.Lesley Logan 14:01  Maybe that's right, we're making changes. Don't quote me on that. Don't quote me on that. But those are the things like get rejected. Talk about it more than you think. But it's so important, especially if you have anything that is in person, you have to get out into your community. It's not I knowBrad Crowell 14:17  And be unapologetic.Lesley Logan 14:19  Right. But I just want to, I know we have to move on. But I just wanna say this because this kind of goes into what Monica Linda, you know, she's amazing. You guys. The more you can talk to real humans about what you do, the easier it is to fill your business, your clientele list of any service of any product, any kind. I know we're in the age of like, the internet, and oh my God, the world is (inaudible) and there's the 8 billion people and so you can sell to anyone. You have to go where your people are. And so many people are hungry for like actual three-dimensional experiences. So go out there because you'll really learn a lot more about the people you're trying to help and where they're at when you get out there. Thank you for this amazing question. I hope to see you in Agency Mini.Brad Crowell 15:04  Okay, welcome back. Now let's talk about Monica Linda. Founder of Girl Squad Media, Monica is renowned for expertise in personal branding, photography and videography dedicated to enhancing the businesses of entrepreneurs. She specifically loves to work with women. Her impressive portfolio includes work of Beyonce, the NFL, Live Nation, and she's showcasing her ability to capture and tell powerful stories. Her vision to empower women entrepreneurs drives her continued success and influence in the media industry. And we've been lucky enough to work with Linda, I mean, Monica Linda now for I mean, since 2019.Lesley Logan 15:47  2019, yeah, 2019 Yes, yes, yes, yes. Brad Crowell 15:51  Well, that's when we met her at least. Did we work with her that year?Lesley Logan 15:54  Yeah. Also, you guys, she has a photograph of me from 2018.Brad Crowell 16:03  Oh, right, because of another event you were at.Lesley Logan 16:05  And yeah, there was and a year later, a year later, I ended up in the (inaudible) program. And then we met her, she was a photographer for that. But I didn't actually connect with her. She wasn't in the group. And then she was in the group, but her group was her company was photographing it in the fall one. That's when we did photos with her, and we started working with her ever since. So, you guys, she's phenomenal. As you know, she's just an incredible person. And one of the reasons I wanted to have her back on is because we were talking about, you know, growing your business as a female and like really understanding just the hardship, like, there's a lot of things people don't tell you. And whether or not you're in the photography industry or the Pilates industry or just like, hi, you're from any industry. I think it's really important that we talk about money more often, and rates more often. And she noticed this amazing thing where like, she was hiring some photographers for an event. And the men were like this is my rate, and the women are like, what do you want? What are you gonna pay? And it's like, whoa, because the men got what they wanted, right? Like, that's how it worked. But anyways Brad Crowell 17:14  She also said it was like consistent that the men would ask for 500 bucks more than the women.Lesley Logan 17:20  Oh, yeah. Well, this goes back to total sidenote, we talked about this on an episode. But we all live in L.A. when Sony emails were hacked. And when the Sony emails were hacked Brad Crowell 17:29  You mentioned that, yeah. Lesley Logan 17:30  So if you didn't listen to it, we mentioned it. All the men's rates were out. Brad Crowell 17:36  For all the actors.Lesley Logan 17:37  For all the actors. And you could see every single one of them renegotiate their rate. Many of them had less lines, less time on camera, less everything. And they were making not just a little bit more, significantly more. And so, but, so it's so important. So she talked about that, but I'm going to talk about my other favorite thing is like, how she actually said if you want to charge premium your portfolio for her, but your work has to match that rate. So if you're charging if you want to be a luxury service provider, and this goes back to Joanna White, yeah, and you were talking about our business card, yes, your your product has has to do that. We do this with flashcards, like it's very important to me, you guys. I fight tooth and nail all the time and the team is really good about honoring this. We're the only client of our printer that prints on the inside. Lesley Logan 17:39  Yeah, they have like thousands of clients that they've print, they print for and have printed for. And we're the only one that pays the extra money to print on the inside of the boxes. And it's not cheap to do it. It like, literally changes our cost of goods. Lesley Logan 18:45  It changes, but I won't let it go. I will not let it go. Brad Crowell 18:48  It looks good. Lesley Logan 18:49  It looks so good. And so so it's the thing is like you can charge premium prices Absolutely. You also have to have everything has to be that experience. So if you also that goes with if you wanna be cheap and cheerful then it shouldn't look like a fucking Apple Store or like the wind on the inside go out and be cheap and cheerful you know like it's totally fine but let yourBrad Crowell 19:10  I've never heard that phrase before. Lesley Logan 19:12  Cheap and cheerful? Brad Crowell 19:13  Never heard it.Lesley Logan 19:14  Welcome to retail. We had some cheap and cheerful stuff because it allows you to have a price range of $5 to $40,000 but cheap and cheerful, yeah, I did that that's my old job. But cheap and cheerful Brad Crowell 19:29  $5 to $40? How is that cheap? Lesley Logan 19:32  With, well $5 to $40. Cheap and cheerful stuff but it's like $5 like $20 like Brad Crowell 19:37  Oh, I see.Lesley Logan 19:38  Like it's cheap and cheerful is also like it's a candy. It's like easy it's there. I'm gonna toss this in it's cheap and cheerful. So your price has to represent, the work you put out there needs to represent the price you're charging. And she talked also about doing discounts and that they never worked out. You guys, I have never had a discounted thing work out. Now as someone who has been given discounts from many people, I go above and beyond. We've had friends of ours give us discounts. I have been given discounts on hotels, which means I tag them on everything like, I'm that person. But I'm also the person who never like, I won't ask for the discount every single time I was given a discount. They just gave it to me. I didn't ask. People who do ask for those things. I'm not saying that all of them are like that. But I will say is like, anytime that I've given a client a discount, they have texted me the same day, want to change the client monitoring session, they want they late cancelled I want to pay for their late cancel. James Patrick has always been a photographer who's on on the show. He has talked about people asking for discounts and what how he's really hated it. And so I'm not saying you can't be affordable for people. But also, you just need to know when you're discounting your product. Eventually, you get discounted, and there they discount you. Not because they're like, when you discount your product to them. They're like, Oh, it's only this much. I'm gonna sell them. I'm just gonna make them do this. I'm gonna do this. It really does change things. So it's really, really important that you understand. And Sheila she said if Lily sucked the life out of her. That was the hardest lesson she ever learned. And it's our job. And this is where it's our job to ask for the right rate.Brad Crowell 21:19  Yeah, I mean, I think just commenting on that. I think it's okay to give like, your mom, a one time discount kind of a thing, be family and all that stuff. But if it's like a standing appointment, like that's discounted, they're not going to value it as much as someone who's who's paying full price. And so it can become a problem because it will it will build resentment from you going I'm not even making the money I'm supposed to make during this hour right now. What the hell, you're late every time. Right, whatever, whatever the situation might be, but it's gonna, it puts it just Lesley Logan 21:57  Resentment will build up.Brad Crowell 21:58  sets you up for a bad, a bad experience. You know, so, yeah, I mean.Lesley Logan 22:03  I understand, like, look, we talked about luxury stuff. And I just want to say, like I do, as someone who has been homeless and poor, I'm very grateful for the opportunities I had, where things were either discounted or at a discounted rate that I could afford, or there was a payment plan that was there. But also, I am really proud of the work that I did to get to the place where I could afford things that I couldn't afford before. And it is okay for people to aspire to work with you. And when I could barely pay for all my bills in Los Angeles. When I first moved there. I cancelled my unlimited like yoga, whatever membership because I had Pilates classes, because the classes weren't at times, I could go. And there was a studio where the teacher was able to, I said, I can't afford your privates, like, do you have any other options to work with you? And she said, Oh, I have another girl who wants to do duets. And I said, okay, how much is that? She told me I was like, okay. So two of those a month equals the money I was spending on the gym to go unlimited, you guys. And I looked at her and I liked her. And I said, I can come two times a month. And I took, I was there early. I was there. I learned. I took notes. At the end, I asked questions.Lesley Logan 22:04  It wasn't discounted though, you you made that a high priority for yourself Lesley Logan 22:32  I made it a high priority. It was not discounted. It was the same it was I was paying the same amount of money and getting less opportunities to go. And then when I would go home, you guys, I would do the exercise I could do at home. I actually took it very seriously because I could only afford those two. Do you know what happened? And within three months, I somehow could afford every week. Because I figured out my budget. And it's it's okay. It's really okay to go. I want to work with you. Here's how you can work with me. Here's the option so but just going back asking for the right price, Brad and I actually if you're a service-based business, we actually have a free tool that will help you do this. And it pays for your time off and your sick days. And you can get it on profitpilates.com. It's called the magic calculator. What did you love?Brad Crowell 24:05  Yeah, so I felt listening back to the conversation. Monica talked about being the biggest person in the room, or the most powerful person in the room and how there is definitely a preconception that it's going to be a man. And she really was encouraging women to be that massive personality in a room. She was really talking about. She made a prediction that in the future here, the women who are entrepreneurs who are out there guiding, teaching, coaching, building businesses, they're turning into the celebrities, because she gets the chance to photograph them on stage. She gets to see these women and I think it's had a huge impact on her because, you know, she talked about just the common perception or the common response that she hears from women, when they see a guy come in to the room like that. And she also said that it stems a lot from how she, for her, how she grew up, for sure. You know, and this is something that she's had to learn herself. Because, you know, our mom said, hey, you know, we don't do that in this family, or while we really let her be too much of a free thinker, you know, with her, her creativity and her, you know, just off out of the normal, quote, unquote, bounds of what's acceptable, you know, and she, she was frustrated about that, that, especially as young girls, she and you know, societally they're constantly taught to, you know, get feedback from others and to not be willing to make a decision, right? It's like setting people up for second-guessing themselves their entire lives. And I think that's, that's a shame. To be honest. I really think that doesn't matter if you're a guy or a girl, if that's the way that you think it's not putting you, it's not empowering you. Right?Lesley Logan 26:30  No, in fact, it's making you be a tulip. Don't get taller. Don't get taller than tulips. I mean, IBrad Crowell 26:37  We don't do that in this family. Lesley Logan 26:38  We don't do that in this family. I think like, I think back to like, if my mom's listening, please, (inaudible) I had a birthday party, I'd invite, everyone couldn't just have a couple people because people feel left up. My brother, she'll say my brother had never had birthday parties. He had birthday parties, which is a lot who invited whoever he wanted, and they just weren't big. I remember I remember he had a birthday party, he could invite his friends. And he invited his friends. He didn't have to invite the entire Sunday school. And everybody in class. And not that I want to because obviously, like, as an adult, I love having everyone in the community come. But it wasn't. It wasn't a choice. I choose to make communities happen. That was like, I had everyone there. And I'd be at my birthday party. And there's like people clicking off and doing things at my party. It wasn't about me anymore. Which is like you're allowingBrad Crowell 27:32  It wasn't about you at the beginning if that's, the invitation list is like everyone, right? Lesley Logan 27:36  There's that. So I do think like, there is special I hope it's changed. I don't have children. So we have no idea. But like when, especially for women born in the 80s and 90s. I really do feel there was a lot of pressure to just be perfect and quiet. And don't ruffle feathers. Brad Crowell 27:53  Probably goes back a lot further than that. Lesley Logan 27:55  Probably ever. It really does, actually. Yeah. So I love that she brought that up. And she is a free thinker. And I think she's changed her parents' perspective.Brad Crowell 28:05  Yeah, I mean, also, I didn't know this, but she grew up in a trailer park. And now she lives in a, you know, in Los Angeles and runs her own business, like what a dramatic change to life as a whole for her. And a complete reversal of that perspective. And to be in a position to see other women really succeeding and really, kicking ass is inspiring.Lesley Logan 28:34  I know. I mean, what's so cool about what she does is she's literally able to be in rooms by people who are constantly pushing themselves to the next level. And so she, they're showing her that there's another level, and it's so easy. This is another reason women and the few women who listens to this podcast, to all, she'll make room for people below you. Take yourself to the next level. You know, like if you want to become full, that's fine. But like if there's like this inside of you to do more, do more because what you do is leave room for people who are below you to come up. And if we hold ourselves back, it means the next people, there's a ceiling for them. They can't go any higher with you. Or they think they can't go any higher until they meet someone else with like the ceiling is higher. SoBrad Crowell 29:23  Totally. 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 Monica Linda? Lesley Logan 29:33  Hmm, well, you go first. Brad Crowell 29:34  Yeah. So she said, it's important to just get into a room that's a little bigger than you are. And she specifically said, a room that feels that feels a little bigger than where, you know a little bigger than you feel you are. So what does that actually mean get in a room? There's always a moment of where you feel like, should I be actually doing this? Am I allowed to do this? Who am I to do this kind of a thing.Lesley Logan 30:06  Like every single coaching group wherein I know we're in the right space because I'm like, I'm intimidated. That's right. That's the best. Brad Crowell 30:12  Am I supposed to be here? Am I like all these other women... Lesley Logan 30:15  Are they gonna find out who I am? Brad Crowell 30:16  Yeah, she actually referenced Jim Carrey, he had some advice on seizing opportunities and trusting the process, she advised you, you know, you just have to walk through the door, because the universe, all the things on the other side, if they open the door for you, they're going to take care of you. And she said, you need to pick a room and you need to walk into it. And, you know, I think that comes easy for some, and is a challenge for others, for sure. But it's something when you do that, when you put yourself in a position. It really allows you to learn more about yourself. And also see possibilities, you know, when we, we talk about our coaching experiences all the time, where we've been in rooms with other business owners who are doing amazing things, and they're selling gazillion dollars and all that stuff, you know, and they've got these great ideas. And, you know, like, initially, you're like, am I, do I have great ideas? You know, like, what is happening here? Why am I even here this room, you know, but then you start to see, well, they're not perfect, either. There are things they're still working on, which is why they're here in this room. And that was revealing to me to go like, okay, they might have, they might have it together over here, but they clearly don't have it together over there and this other thing.Lesley Logan 31:39  At our last event with our coaches, like I'm at this table, and one guy I know is, you know, his company is going to sell for multiple, seven figures. And another guy's at the table. And he has been able to sell his program in two corporations where they're gonna hit 50,000 employees. And then this table, and there's been two other people. And they both actually want to talk to us about how we were able to do something, because they need the knowledge that we have, you know, like, so it's reallyBrad Crowell 32:14  I mean, imagine if there were 50,000 OPC members, like holy hell, it'd be amazing.Lesley Logan 32:18  That can wait. And we actually are like, but like, it's, it's really funny. Like, we tell ourselves that, oh, I shouldn't be here. But it's really you, every single one of us have an experience that no one else has had. And because of your experience, you can share that that allows the people who you might have put on a pedestal randomly, just by because we do that with people. And they actually want to hear from you. In fact, if they didn't, they wouldn't be there. If they were arrogant dicks, they wouldn't be in that room. That's not how it works.Brad Crowell 32:50  It's true. Lesley Logan 32:50  So I love that it goes back to that plus minus, you know, it like, equals, we need to have people who are above us, because they show us that there's more opportunity. Okay, I loved that she asked herself, am I still on the right path? She regularly, she says to regularly check in with yourself. And I think this is really important. It's really easy to only do this at the end of the year. You guys, this is coming out at the beginning of the year on purpose, just in case, it's been a few weeks, and you already lost your check in from December. Find different opportunities like create them, maybe it's maybe it's on Fridays, you go for a walk around a park, and you just like check in with yourself. Maybe it's every morning, maybe it's at night, Allen Stein, Jr. and we caught him all the time. Because his his Be It Action Items was so perfect. It was so simple. It was am I 1% closer to the person I want to be?Brad Crowell 33:42  One percent a day.Lesley Logan 33:42  One percent a day. One percent a day. So I think this is really awesome. And my challenge for you is if this is a Be It Action Item that you want to do is like, how are you going to check with yourself and how often and may I suggest it's not just a reminder on your phone, because you're gonna ignore that. Gonna be something that you build into a routine of some kind. You can make or make a ritual out of maybe like when we lived in L.A. when I did these check-ins. It was when I was with the Korean spa. And after I got scrubbed down and I got massage, I lay in the Himalayan room because by then I was like Zen, Zened out. And I would start to think about like, what am I liking what's not working? Because now it's not like fresh in the body. It's kind of like out of the body. And I would eat some bibimbop and just like oh, yeah, I don't do that anymore. Oh, that client's bothering me and I could check in with myself and I did that every four to six weeks. So make a ritual with yourself. I really love this, Monica. Monica. I love you. Lesley Logan 33:43  Yeah, you're amazing. Lesley Logan 33:46  You are she knows that. Brad Crowell 33:48  She's kicking ass. She's photographed Coldplay, y'all.Lesley Logan 34:07  I know. After this recording she like literally got the contract signed. And then the last time she photograph me she actually got the contract to film Candy Motzek and Ed Mylett. I like, so I told her I'm clearly good luck. She has to keep photographing... Brad Crowell 35:04  You're good luck?Lesley Logan 35:05  Yeah. Brad Crowell 35:06  You're clearly good luck. Brad Crowell 35:07  Clearly good luck. You guys, I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 35:10  And I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan 35:11  I'm your good luck charm. Thank you for joining us today. How are you going to do these tips in your life?

Todd: Okay, here's another thing. It's a little bit impolite. What about looking at other people's monitor over their shoulder? 'Cause you just mentioned the BTS. One thing I have to admit is, because I don't have my phone out and I am looking around, I have a tendency to see, wanna check and see what's on everybody's phone. And it's total intrusion. It's creepy in a way, but it's also because in Asia I'm a little bit taller than the average person, so I'm looking down and I can see everybody's monitor. And yeah, do you ever find yourself doing that too? 托德：好吧，还有一件事。这有点不礼貌。越过肩膀看别人的显示器怎么样？因为你刚刚提到了 BTS。我必须承认的一件事是，因为我没有拿出手机，而是环顾四周，所以我倾向于查看、想要检查并查看每个人手机上的内容。这是完全的入侵。从某种程度上来说这很令人毛骨悚然，但这也是因为在亚洲我比一般人高一点，所以我低头就能看到每个人的显示器。是的，你也发现自己也这样做过吗？ Angela: I do, yeah. But like you, I think it's impolite. 安吉拉：我做过，是的，但跟你一样，我也认为那个不礼貌。Todd: Right. So you gotta pull away, I know I shouldn't do it. 托德：对。所以你必须离开，我知道我不应该这样做。 Angela: But you know the worst thing with phones these days, the worst thing from my point of view is the amount of pictures that people take of themselves everywhere, on the BTS, on the subway, eating. I've been to S21 in Cambodia where those poor people were slaughtered basically, and there are people in front of pictures of these people who were killed, and they are just literally taking selfies of themselves, you know, this world isn't about you. It's sometimes, just stop and look and listen. 安吉拉：但是你知道现在手机最糟糕的事情，从我的角度来看，最糟糕的事情是人们在任何地方拍摄自己的照片，在 BTS 上、在地铁上、在吃饭时。我去过柬埔寨的S21，那里的穷人基本上都被屠杀了，有人在这些被杀者的照片前，他们只是在自拍，你知道，这个世界不是关于 你。有时，只需停下来看看、听一听。 Todd: Yeah, the selfie thing, I did a little bit. Sometimes I would do it almost like it's sending a postcard. 托德：是的，自拍这件事，我做了一点。有时我会像寄明信片一样这样做。Angela: Yeah 安吉拉：是的 Todd: You know what I mean? "Oh, look, I'm here." But I have to admit, yeah, I don't really like doing it, yeah. 托德：你明白我的意思吗？“哦，你看，我来了。” 但我必须承认，是的，我真的不喜欢这样做，是的。 Angela: I'm gonna take the shot again, the shot again. I use selfies in a group, because I think they're fun. It's actually quite fun to see one person in the front and the rest in the back. 安吉拉：我要再开枪，再开枪。我在团体中使用自拍照，因为我认为它们很有趣。看到一个人在前面，其他人在后面，其实挺有趣的。 Todd: Yes. 托德：是的。 Angela: And it usually means that I can get further back in the photograph, so that's always a good thing. 安吉拉：这通常意味着我可以在照片中看到更远的地方，所以这总是一件好事。Todd: Oh, yeah, that's true. So but, that's good that you admit you do some selfies. 托德：哦，是的，确实如此。所以，但是，你承认你做了一些自拍照，这很好。Angela: Yeah, yeah, yeah, with groups. And if I'm taking a group in the class, I'll get one of them to take the photograph. 安吉拉：是的，是的，是的，有团体。如果我在班上带领一群人，我会让其中一个人拍照。 Todd: Yeah. What about the ... mild pet peeve of mine, not a pet peeve, but people taking photos of their food. I don't know why it's a thing. 托德：是的。 那……我的轻微的烦恼呢？不是烦恼，而是人们给食物拍照。 我不知道为什么会有这样的事情。 Angela: Why? Eat it. Todd: Yeah, exactly, enjoy it. Enjoy the memory. It's interesting that you said that about Cambodia. A woman, a group of women once said something that was really like just a spear in the heart, really made me think. I was in Cambodia, this was years ago, and I was at Angkor, at Baton, Bayon, or I can't say it right, but where they have the beautiful face sculptures, and I'm like, "Oh, I gotta get a photo." And so there was a woman just sitting there, relaxed, she was maybe French or something, she was European, and she was like, "Oh, you want me to take your photo?" And I go, "Yeah, yeah, yeah." 托德：是的，确实如此，享受吧。 享受记忆。 有趣的是你对柬埔寨的评价。 一个女人，一群女人，曾经说过一句话，就像一根矛刺在心上，真的让我深思。 我在柬埔寨，那是几年前的事了，我在吴哥，在巴顿，巴戎寺，或者我不能说对，但是那里有美丽的面部雕塑，我想，“哦，我得 拍张照片。” 所以有一个女人坐在那里，很放松，她可能是法国人或其他什么人，她是欧洲人，她说，“哦，你想让我给你拍照吗？” 我说：“是啊，是啊，是啊。” So then she takes it, she takes my photo, this was before cell phone cameras. And then I'm like, okay, I have to reciprocate. I go, "Oh, would you like me to take a photo of you?" She's like, "No." I'm like, "You don't have a camera?" And she goes, "No," and she just points at her head and she taps her head like this, and she goes, "It's all up here." And I was like, "Wow." She was really- 然后她拿走了，她拍了我的照片，这是在手机相机出现之前。 然后我想，好吧，我必须回报。 我说：“哦，你愿意我给你拍张照片吗？” 她说：“不。” 我说：“你没有相机吗？” 她说，“不，”她只是指着自己的头，像这样轻拍她的头，然后她说，“全都在这里了。” 我当时想，“哇。” 她真的是—— Angela: amazing, yeah. 安吉拉：太棒了，是的。Todd: ... kind of like, politely saying, "Just, I'm never gonna ..." I've never forgotten how all those things look, I've never forgotten her sitting on the rock when she said that. So wise advice I think. 托德：……有点像，礼貌地说，“只是，我永远不会……”我永远不会忘记所有这些事情的样子，我永远不会忘记她说这句话时坐在岩石上的样子。 我认为这是明智的建议。 Angela: Yeah, I think so. Todd: Now, actually you are in photography. Do you think that actually taking so many ... I'm sorry, you have a photography business. 托德：现在，实际上你正在从事摄影工作。 你以为居然拍了这么多……对不起，你是做摄影生意的。 Angela: Yes. 安吉拉：是的。Todd: Do you think that actually taking so many photographs lessens the value of the art of photography and really appreciating a good picture? 托德：你认为拍摄这么多照片是否会降低摄影艺术的价值以及真正欣赏一张好照片的价值？Angela: Yes, I think it does. And I think that a lot of the apps and the things that you can use these days to improve photographs take away the real skill of the photographer, using the light, using the lines, using what's in the photograph to make a really good shot. I think people miss that these days. 安吉拉：是的，我想是的。 我认为现在很多可以用来改善照片的应用程序和东西都剥夺了摄影师的真正技能，即使用光线、使用线条、使用照片中的内容来拍出真正好的照片。 我想现在人们很怀念这一点。Todd: Yeah. That is true. Anyway, so today, no using your phone. 托德：是的。 那是真实的。 无论如何，所以今天不要使用手机。Angela: No, I did hear it go, "Bing, bing."安吉拉：不，我确实听到了“Bing，Bing”的声音。

Yeah, I am literally in a place where I can make change. I can make decisions, I can make different things happen. And I made it a point to do everything differently based on accepting where I exist. I was in that moment. 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 harmoniously profound convo I had with Sunitha Sandeep.I just want to say I said it very well, in our last episode, if you haven't yet, listen to this interview, to that interview, this interview, whatever. Feel free to pause this now go back and listen that one and then come back and join us. Sorry, my brain was thinking about, like, if there's a speech therapist who listened to this podcast, or probably like this girl, just want you to know, I did speech therapy. It's gotten a lot better. You should have heard it before. Thank you, I had a lot of like permanent teeth removed. I have a very small mouth and a big tongue. It's like, it's everything. I do not have a list. Okay, so we're working on it.Brad Crowell 7:05  Anyways, okay. Well, I'veLesley Logan 7:07  Well, I've been to speech therapy. And I just can tell sometimes I can't get some of those sounds together. So thanks for the people who put words together. I'm like, well, here we go. Today is August 17, national nonprofit day. So go support your favorite nonprofit. If you don't have one, I've got two for you. I actually have a few for you. So Bloom organization helps and what girls who have been bullied, handle how to handle that bullying and also prepare them to like understand have empathy for bullies that are out there and rise above that.Brad Crowell 7:40  Now we support Bloom with OPC. Lesley Logan 7:42  Yes. And then the cupcake girls are doing some badass shit when it comes to sex workers rights and support. And also that involves actually supporting people human traffic because human trafficking exists. Because the reality is we make sex work illegal, and then pimps get involved and shit happen. So go check out the cupcake girls and really understand that kind of work. I think it's going to really change your mind around how sex work exists, why it exists, and how we can be more kind and loving to those in that industry.Brad Crowell 8:20  We support the cupcake girls with Profitable Pilates. Lesley Logan 8:22  Yes, we do. And they're just doing some awesome stuff. So shout out to both of those. However, if you're like, Well, what about the homeless Lesley? Hungry? Remember hung? What was the one in LA?

And I just love how often we get to go to St. George because there's just a favorite little cafe that I love to hit up and I'm like, they're just so great. I'm so and that then I come home for like seven maybe not even days and I'm in Poland. So you can take privates with me there you can some take some workshops. with me there I am bringing some flashcards there. I don't know that'll be in Poland next year you all, so this is like this is it for a bit, then we'll come back. And literally a couple days later rock our seven day Coaching Program Agency MINI of Profitable Pilates program. It's our ninth iteration of this program. So it's just like a ninth edition I should say edition. And we it is a really awesome one.

So jump in, yeah, jump in.Lesley Logan 10:33  And then we wrap it up, hang tight for a couple weeks hanging out with our Agency peeps, our OPC peeps plan some stuff. And then we go to Cambodia, which some of you I've just found out, I just heard that we're doing Cambodia, so hi we're going to Cambodia. I'm super excited about that. And then you can go to lesleylogan.co/retreat November, at the time that we're recording this, we're still working on the details, it's possible that those details have like manifested themselves. So you know, if you are curious, go take a look at what we've got going on. And then December, we're back on the road for our winter tour, which we don't have all the details yet. But don't worry. By September, we will have a lot of things locked and loaded. So my dear before we go on to Sunitha. What is our audience question?Brad Crowell 11:19  Yeah. So today, we had a double header here. What are your favorite things to take on tour? And what are the things you miss the most about home while you're on the road? Lesley Logan 11:30  Yeah, so this is super fun. Because obviously, we are on tour right now and people are like, because it's a long time to be on the road. And we are living out of our van. So obviously we're missing some things. So Babe, what are you missing?Brad Crowell 11:45  Well, I'm gonna cleverly answer one thing for both questions. And that is the dogs.Lesley Logan 11:51  We take the dogs when we can and we miss the dog. And we can't That's right. Yes,Brad Crowell 11:55  yeah. Or that and also, I miss our latte machine. Yeah, yeah, I do miss that.Lesley Logan 12:02  I'm still trying to figure out how that's coming on the road with us being recorded. I have high hopes for this. But it's, it is possible. It is not with us and we are stopping at random random places. But that's what makes it that's also what's so fun on the road except for West Texas. You got to get it together. I'm just going to call you out right now. Also, West Kansas, East Colorado. You all need new latte places. I'm just saying it. Okay, but we do like our latte machine, but I'm working on it. I don't want to piss people off. But I'm just gonna say it's a lot of cows or fields that could have them and there's no milk. There's no lattes. So anyways, I will say my favorite things to take on the tour. Obviously, I love to take the dogs when we can take the dogs it really (...) it's so fun. I hate leaving them behind Bayon looks at me every time I leave the house and I'm like I found you. I found you. I did not figure this out. But I also I miss my red light therapy. I miss my (...) I miss the equipment because sometimes I'll take a when a chair or a former or a spine corrector so when we can take those things and I can actually take them out and do them I feel really great. But like on this tour it's not like we can just like unload equipment everywhere we're going we're like literally sleeping in a parking lot so I am missing like access to my studio whenever I want it. I also will say this I do when I'm on more out on the road. I actually sleep really well. We don't have the dogs sleep really good. When we're on the road with the dog I sleep better than when I'm at the house. Because they don't get up in the car. They stay there they have nowhere to go so they sleep better in the moment. We should sit with them now with the dogs like maybe that's the thing. Anyways, other things that I love to take on tours or traveling I should say I have a sensate. We actually have a discount code for the sensate I haven't created an ad for it yet but I take my sensate it helps me fall asleep whenever I need to. It's just really calming. And it's just like a little thing you lay on your chest and just helps like your vagus nerve and I just love taking that when I travel. And that's why I miss my red light therapy and my (...) mat because sometimes I use my sensate with both of those things. I also miss our cactuses I miss our backyard. I was thinking about that I miss our I actually miss our regular schedule. I love going to the gym at the casino. I think it's fabulous. I think it's so fun. I love our people we work out with so of course I missed those people. And I miss our house and our bed. So I missed a lot of things we're on the road I'm really honest. I missed convenience for sure. But to take on the tour, I do think work and equipment can sensate I take I take any work and equipment I might need or I get a gym membership and those things and then it's Oh chocolate collagen and AG1. AG1 for the win. They're also a sponsor of the podcast. So put the link below. But that if I can have AG1 in the morning, so my chocolate called in my latte at some place that has oat milk, and my sensei feels and I can get some steps and I feel like we're good. We're good to go.Brad Crowell 15:15  I love it. Okay.Lesley Logan 15:16  Anyways, thanks for those questions. You can send your questions in to the Be It pod. We love answering them. It's kind of fun to think about, like, what is our favorite thing? So thank you.Brad Crowell 15:40  Okay, now let's talk about Sunitha Sandeep. Sunitha is a thought provoking transformational coach who helps women find their authentic selves, guiding them towards mindful awareness, acceptance, and a deep sense of balance. Sunitha was it was really interesting to hear. You know how she works with people. She was talking a lot about the somatic. Lesley Logan 16:07  Yeah, third somatic person. Cymatics are like the thing.Brad Crowell 16:12  Yeah, well, also, I think when you, I think that this whole conversation about overload and overwhelm, and how it's connected to Cymatics. I thought it was really interesting. You know, like, I don't think I ever even heard of Cymatics until like a year ago. SoLesley Logan 16:30  I know, two good friends who are like very famous, amazing Cymatics people, but I, you already I can't talk about what I love. Like I love some of you love but we'll talk about in a second. So I'm going to ask really quick. She said, she talked a little about your livelihood doesn't equate to your passion and purpose. And I thought this was really interesting, because there's so many people out there that are like, what did you love as a child? That's what you want to do as an adult? Or like, like all...Brad Crowell 16:57  What are you passionate about, you should do that, you should ge paid for it.Lesley Logan 17:00  And like, she said, it works for some people. But it doesn't have to work for everybody. And I couldn't fucking agree more.Brad Crowell 17:08  Yeah, I'm, I mean, I've talked about this before, a couple of episodes ago, where, you know, when I was younger, I thought I will do whatever it takes to do a job to get paid the money I want to get paid so that I can do the things that I want to do. And the example I gave was, I would shuffle shit from one corner of the barn to the other corner of the barn, if that was what brought in the money. And at the time, I said, I don't, I'm not in on that. And I'm still not in on that. But I also think that you know, doing something that you're passionate about can actually destroy your passion for it if you're doing it for the money, right? Lesley Logan 17:50  Well, that's like, hello, read the Book of Big Magic. Like a lot of people you see making money off of a talent or a gift or a passion that they have. They didn't start out trying to make it make money.Brad Crowell 18:06  That's right. Lesley Logan 18:07  They like the woman who wrote Big Magic. Eat, Pray Love. Her name is coming to me. I'm sorry, guys. You're shouting at me, as you're driving, and Elizabeth Gilbert. Wow. So she was like, she did not actually give up her job as a professor at a university. Even after Eat Pray Love (...). She didn't give it up until after she like, even after she sold it to a movie. Like she did not give it up until she knew that like she wouldn't have to stress her gift, her passion to make money she like it would be okay. And I loved her doing. I loved her sharing that because I think it's so easy for us to think oh my god, I read a book and I saw it as a novel. And then it's this thing. And I actually taught another national best selling author and I watched her. I had to see her negotiate that she loves what she does. And also there's all these demands that come with it. And like it's this thing. So Sunitha said, like, Oh, I'm passionate about dancing, so I need to dance. And she said, No, you're passionate about expressing. And dance is just one form of it. You can express it anywhere. And I loved that as well. Because what if you injure yourself? And then you're like, oh my god, I can't dance anymore. So I'm nothing.Brad Crowell 19:21  And it well, also, I think she said that, 100% there, you know, you could hurt yourself. But she also said that your passion changes throughout your life. Yeah. So if you've locked yourself in on this thing, because you're passionate about it, what happens in five years when you're not as passionate about it? I mean, this I feel like this happened for me with music. What I realized is that actually what I'm passionate about are people and building relationships and, and the puzzle, I'm passionate about puzzles. The puzzle of building a business, building a company was a similar puzzle as music, but I thought that like music was the the end all be all, and I have to be doing that. And I, you know, and but my, my. So I went literally all 100% towards music. And after 10 years of pursuing that, I began realized, like, I don't necessarily need to be doing music. As much as I love the act of doing music, I actually need to be building relationships, and I need to be solving puzzles. And that's when, you know, and that was, that was not really clear to me at the time.Lesley Logan 20:28  Yeah. So I think it's just like, she, I just really enjoyed how she talked about that. Because I do think we put a lot of pressure on like, what's my passion, what's my purpose. And like, I just keep coming back to like, there are plumbers in Boston making a million dollars. I am not sure that all of them were like, I'm so passionate. Plumbing is my purpose. Right? But they are successful plumbers. And they are doing something. And so it's, I just think it's, I think she says it's a problem that we have for this passion, to figure out our passion and our purpose, because that's what we're supposed to do for a living. No, you can do a lot of things for a living. And then you can have passion and purpose that are expressed in different ways I put so much pressure, I find myself like when I'm around like a teenager, I'm like, okay, so what do I talk to them about? Because I definitely don't ask them like, what do you want to be when you grow up? Because I fucking questions terrible. It's too soon, we should really be letting people explore, like, what excites them, and showing them all the ways that that thing that excites them can be expressed in multiple different ways, not just through dance. Yeah, not just through whatever it is. Brad Crowell 21:41  I think her ultimate point about this was about being versus doing...(Lesley: Oh, you are correct). You know, we end up doing because we think, Oh, I'm passionate about this, I'm gonna go do this thing. And she her argument here is what if you be the thing instead of do the thing?...(Lesley: Well, I mean, hello.) And it's possible for them to overlap. But they don't necessarily have to.Lesley Logan 22:09  Yeah. Yeah. So while you're being until you see it, if you I listen to podcast. That's right. Oh, please. I mean, it's why I have run. Okay. What did you love? Brad Crowell 22:19  Alright, I thought this was really profound here. so profound.Lesley Logan 22:23  Hold on, take your notepads out, pull over.Brad Crowell 22:27  Pull over, hold the phone. Okay, so we've all experienced overwhelm, right? Where you just like completely, just shut down. You want to bury your head in the sand, you're all the things. And she said, Hey, there's a, there's a very different... Well, there's a distinction as a better way to say between being overloaded and being overwhelmed. And she said that being overloaded was basically you have too much on your plate, you got too many tasks, too many things you got, you can't you have so much, you can't even keep it on your head, as opposed to being overwhelmed, which is an internal state that persists regardless of the situation that you're in. And the example that she gave on that was, well, I want a vacation and I came back, I still feel terrible. That's overwhelmed. As opposed to you know, like, in the moment, there's too much to do right now to prepare for the thing that's overloaded. Yeah, you know, and I thought, wow, that's really interesting. I think we often misconstrue the two where we feel I'm overwhelmed. But maybe you're actually overloaded. And once this, whatever it is that's happening passes, you're actually (...)Lesley Logan 23:38  I also think that burnout gets titled for both of these. So I like talking about the agency members, when they take a couple days off, like I feel better, I took a break. I said, Congratulations. You are just overloaded, you have too many tasks. So let's do this. What can we take off the plate right now? Like you took a couple days off, like, what can just be pushed to a different deadline. But if they take a couple days off, and they're like, I'm still burned out, then it's an overwhelm. And that's a couple things like, that is how you are internalizing. And she said, how are you handling stress? If you're someone who thinks that, like if you take a break, everything's gonna crumble. That is a state of being as she said, like we this is where you actually do want to consider some sort of like somatic therapy or therapy in general, redefining how you actually engage with your work and the people around you. Because when we go on vacation, oh my god, as soon as we're on the fucking plane, I'm like, Ah, and I always feel great about like, Okay, I just a little overloaded, good. But if I can't get my mind to turn off, I'm like, Oh, I'm stepping back into some old patterns that I have wanted to let go, what's going on and like it's a sign for me that I have some work to do.Brad Crowell 24:59  Hmm, yeah, she I mean, she actually talks about people who feel stuck, and how they, how do you move past feeling stuck? Because it's easy to say this. But, you know, I think one thing you pointed out, which I thought was great was you're like, Well, that sounds so lovely to just like, not be overwhelmed and not be overloaded anymore. But I still have all the fucking things that I got to do in life. And it's not like they're going to stop. You know, she said, yeah, people often feel stuck. And how do you move through that? How do you pass feel like stuck. And she said, it could involve adjusting your environment, because we may associate negativity and trauma with environment. Also, with PTSD, it's, you know, like can also be, you know, changing your environment can be beneficial in that. And she said, a little bit of neutralizing in that, and that will give you a better foundation to build from moving forward. So sometimes that could be a vacation actually. Because you're not in your consistent like routine.Lesley Logan 26:08  You know how good I got at being not overloaded. So Saturday, when you call me and you're like, Hey, babe, are you on your way to the airport? I said, Yeah, I'm gonna have a (...). And you're like, you should be at the airport now. And I was like, Oh, I got so relaxed. Yeah, I'm so why'd you call? I really would have missed that flight. I think like, Y'all, if you normally listen the recaps, and then decide what to listen to. I'm going to be really honest. She has a TED Talk. This girl is a girl. She's human. She is really sharp. She explained things away. I gave her some really like I did. I felt like I have no clue what the hell we're doing. Now. If we like something like, what are we going to do here I saw that she had to do and she really had a great way of handling that. And I feel like I have always wanted to know. And this interview I did this month ago, and I have been so impacted by a change my whole way of understanding my own life. The things I'm doing, I was like, wow, I found a therapy session. So I feel good about it. I think you should check out her shit.Brad Crowell 27:16  Yeah, I mean, she has a program. She's a coach. She's an executive coach. And she works you know, I guess you don't have to be executive to do it. But she has a program with the pillars of awake A W A K E, which the stands for awake awareness within action, kindling and engagement. And if you're interested in her process, you can listen to the last episode, where she does explain kind of each step obviously not like the nuances of each step. That's why you would work with her but like the over the bigger picture review of what those steps are,Lesley Logan 27:50  I mean, I got so much out of just the interview.Brad Crowell 27:53  Yeah, I mean, she, her her help. Her purpose is to help you connect more with your authentic self because we ended up just getting busy with life and commitments. And like we talked about yeses and noes, you know, in last episode, and so the you know, she helps you dig through that connect more to yourself and then decide, you know, how do you how do you enjoy life more, you know? All right. Let's talk about those Be It action items what bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items. Can you take away from your combo with Sunitha Sundeep? She said go through the path of acceptance that the number one starts from acceptance period. And this was interesting. It's because out of context, that sounds a little strange. But basically, in order for us to move forward from being stuck in the thing that we are overwhelmed. overload, I guess it would be overwhelmed really, because overload is like short term, it's, it seems like in order to move, you have to accept where you are. And that is a hard thing is to accept where we are, okay, this thing is out of my control, and it's happening and I have to do the things to whatever, but when you accept your current state, it helps you mentally, emotionally, and somatically.Lesley Logan 29:24  Oh, 1,000% 10 years ago, when I was homeless, and then I totaled my car leaving that house that I was no longer living and then the studio call to like, chain none of this happened the same day guy that kind of like happened over a few weeks. At any rate, I just remember going okay. Okay, I'm not gonna blame anyone. I get it. I'm accepting that I'm in this place. I somehow made decisions that got me here. And so what do I do next? And it was the fucking best thing in my life. People literally thought I was a lunatic when you do this, people are gonna say you are crazy person, you guys, like my friends were like, are you okay? I'm like, I'm phenomenal. Because for the first time in my life, there's so much possibility for me because I'm not stuck on what was done to me. Yeah, I am literally in a place where I can make change. I can make decisions, I can make different things happen. And I made it a point to do everything differently based on accepting where I exist. I was in that moment, not making excuses, just like this is where I am. What can I get where I am, I'm part of this and it changed. I had you guys I was fucking couchsurfing. And I had the best days of my life. People were straight, like very worried. And I was like, you be worried. I'm not worried like it was. It's the best thing if that's all you take from this, it's like, except where you are, like, really truly see what happens when you just do it for one day.Brad Crowell 30:51  Yeah, and it's not easy to do. No, you know, but when you when you can, and when you do that. You know, and you actually take a step and look, look at yourself from the side, it leads to awakeness, okay, which is her A W A K E, her process. So, you know, it helps you, it's going to help you like reevaluate things and find a different path.Lesley Logan 31:18   And just really quick, it's also not easy to be doing the life you're doing if you're feeling stuck.Brad Crowell 31:23  That is very true. And I think I think we keep doing the things that we're doing even if they may be detrimental to us because we feel safe with what we know and (...)Lesley Logan 31:36  (...)Brad Crowell 31:37  All right. What about you? Lesley Logan 31:40  I wouldn't mean with all love, okay? So of course, need to shift she emphasized need to shift definition of success and wins. Listen to FYF people I promise you every Friday, when we that's tomorrow, when this episode comes out, it's the next day. I share people's wins. Some of them are huge. And some of them are like little like I told someone No, today, I freaked out a little bit, but I didn't back down. You have to redefine your definition of a win. Yeah, you have to redefine it and have success and you know, it's kind of crazy. It's like, I, I hate like, what is your definition of success? I'm like, I'm living it. So like, why don't you ask me why I'm successful? Because I am. And some of you are some of us because we've been trained, like, what's your definite success as if you're never gonna reach it till you retire. And the truth is, you may have already but you haven't taken the time to understand the wins you've made. And so like I of course, there's changes I want to make, those are things I want to do. There's still some things I want us to have and with our business and the impact we want to make, but we're very fucking successful right now. Because I've changed the definition of what success looks like. So do that. And then there's a couple things. She encouraged us to see the act of trying itself as a win. Yes, yeah. Sorry, Yoda. You're wrong. And I all my all my Star Wars people. Katie don't hurt me. We love Rachel, I love you. Who else I've apologized to?Brad Crowell 33:07  Well, you know, I think this goes to habit building too. You know, like, even if you attempted the thing, but you didn't do the thing. You still attempted the thing.Lesley Logan 33:15  If you remember the thing, right? That you want to do. It's a win is a win. The shift that needs to happen is it's a win. It is because I tried. So win because I tried. So I, I hope that you we really need to come up with a journal paper. Meredith, we need a journal. We need a wins journal. So our listeners can have a winning journal and that every day they can just write a win of the day down. Maybe the win is You didn't forget on yourself. Maybe the win is that you hit traffic and you didn't yell the car next to you. I don't care what the winners, we have to start acknowledging on all the wins that are happening because there is this happens in aÁgency somebody rose posted like a rant and it was totally fine. Like whoever will listen I'm like, absolutely as was for and then I went to the wins channel, and they had not posted and I had to go back and say illegal. Illegal. I'd say thank you so much for sharing this. You gotta go post a win, because not everything is shit. Thanks. And she did. And it was a great win. But it's so important that you understand that the universe is balanced. It really is. But if you focus on your wins, you see them everywhere.

Hyundai presenta en España este año el Hyundai Kona, su coche más importante. Esta es la segunda generación de un modelo que se lanzó en 2017 y que en 2018 fue galardonado como el Coche del Año en España. Desde entonces, ha vendido más de 70.000 unidades solo en el mercado español. En 2020, el Kona fue el modelo más vendido de Hyundai en España, alcanzando aproximadamente 14.000 unidades. El Kona y el Tucson son los pilares que brindan estabilidad a la marca en España y contribuyen a establecer una red de concesionarios rentable en el país. En comparación con su predecesor, el nuevo Hyundai Kona ha crecido aproximadamente 15 cm, lo que lo sitúa en una posición intermedia dentro de la gama de SUV de Hyundai, entre el Bayon en la parte inferior y el Tucson-Santa Fe en la parte superior. El Hyundai Kona se basa en cuatro pilares fundamentales. En primer lugar, destaca por su alta dotación de tecnología, ofreciendo características vanguardistas. Además, su diseño futurista es otro de sus puntos destacados, manteniendo al mismo tiempo la personalidad y el carácter distintivo que ya poseía el Kona original, como su línea de techo dinámica y la integración de los faros en los revestimientos de los pasos de rueda. La gama del Kona se completa con tres tecnologías diferentes y, en otoño, se lanzará una versión eléctrica con una autonomía de hasta 500 km. En cuanto al diseño exterior, Hyundai cuenta con varios centros de diseño en todo el mundo, incluyendo Corea, Frankfurt, California, China, India y Japón. Estos centros de diseño emplean a unos 560 profesionales y su forma de trabajo es completamente digital. Aunque la primera idea surge de la imaginación del diseñador, se han mantenido elementos clave del diseño original del Kona, como las líneas dinámicas del techo y la integración de los faros en los pasos de rueda. Además, el nuevo Kona es más grande en todas las dimensiones, con una longitud de 4355 mm (+150 mm), una distancia entre ejes de 2660 mm (+60 mm) y una altura de 1575 mm (+25 mm). Para mantener una apariencia equilibrada, se ha aumentado el diámetro de las ruedas para reducir la superficie de chapa en las aletas y evitar que parezca demasiado grande. En cuanto al diseño interior, se ha puesto un gran énfasis en la ergonomía y la facilidad de uso, con un enfoque hacia el conductor. El diseño es simple y horizontal, con todos los elementos orientados hacia el conductor. Se han realizado maquetas a tamaño real desde las primeras etapas de diseño para asegurarse de que cada elemento esté ubicado de forma óptima. El tablero de instrumentos presenta una bandeja funcional debajo de las salidas de aire, sin ninguna superficie decorativa sin función. La pantalla doble de 12,3 pulgadas flotante agrega un toque tecnológico al interior. Los botones se utilizan para controlar el climatizador y los posavasos son giratorios para adaptarse a objetos de diferentes tamaños. El grosor del respaldo del asiento se ha reducido en 30 mm para brindar más espacio a los ocupantes de las plazas traseras, sin comprometer la comodidad. El volumen del maletero es de 466 litros. El acabado N Line ofrece un estilo deportivo elegante y refinado, sin buscar una apariencia agresiva. En cuanto al confort, el Hyundai Kona cuenta con varias características que mejoran la experiencia del conductor y los pasajeros. Estas incluyen un portón trasero eléctrico, un techo solar practicable, un sistema de sonido premium Bose con 7 altavoces y una llave digital que se puede usar a través de una aplicación móvil. La llave digital permite a los usuarios autorizados abrir y cerrar el coche e incluso arrancarlo desde su teléfono móvil. El Kona también ofrece actualizaciones inalámbricas tanto para el software del coche como para el sistema del vehículo en sí. En cuanto a la conducción, el Hyundai Kona ofrece tres modos de conducción: Eco, Sport y Snow. En términos de motorización, se ofrecen varias opciones. Para los motores de combustión, hay dos opciones disponibles: un motor 1.0 TGDI de 120 CV con cambio manual de 6 velocidades o automático de 7 velocidades, y un motor 1.6 TGDI de 198 CV con cambio automático de doble embrague de 7 velocidades y tracción 4x4 o 4x2. También se ofrece una opción híbrida completa con un motor 1.6 GDI de 141 CV y opciones de cambio manual de 6 velocidades o automático de 7 velocidades. El Hyundai Kona cuenta con diversas características de seguridad. Se destaca la capacidad de estacionar y desestacionar el vehículo a distancia utilizando la llave como un mando a distancia. También se ha incorporado una cámara en la cabina que monitorea al conductor para detectar signos de somnolencia o fatiga. El vehículo está equipado con 7 airbags, incluyendo un airbag central delantero ubicado entre los asientos. El precio del Hyundai Kona en España varía entre 28.490 euros y 39.990 euros. Durante la campaña de lanzamiento, se ofrece un descuento de aproximadamente 3.000 euros, lo que podría reducir el precio de un modelo con motor de 120 CV a alrededor de 25.000 euros. El objetivo de ventas para el Kona es de alrededor de 13.000 unidades al año. No se prevé el lanzamiento de una versión Kona N, que es la variante deportiva de alto rendimiento de Hyundai.

A version of this essay was published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/shadow-warrior-paris-is-burning-why-12837712.htmlI had the disconcerting experience of being on the ground in Paris while the current riots raged. Oddly enough, on my previous visit, in April 2019, I arrived the night the Notre Dame cathedral caught fire, and then was in town during the Yellow Vest riots against fuel taxes. In both cases, my plans were affected: in the current case I stirred out of my hotel room near the Arc de Triomphe with trepidation, worried as I was by TV images of random violence and especially arson.I had been to Paris for several years in a row (until covid) for an annual conference on innovation, so I have a slight familiarity with the city, and it remains one of the most charming cities in the world. Architecturally appealing, with world-class museums (I did my usual homage to the Louvre, the impressionist Musee d'Orsay and the Musee Guimet of Asian art), lovely boulevards, the peerless Eiffel Tower, the unhurried meals in sidewalk cafes: the very picture of the good life.Then there is the dark side of things.The proximate cause of the troubles was the shooting death of a 17 year old youth of Algerian heritage, possibly the result of excessive force by the police. But this is just the spark. As in other countries with restless minority populations (e.g. the US with periodic riots after police shoot yet another black man, as in Los Angeles burning after the death of Rodney King), there are many other resentments that fan the fire. It would be easy to surmise that racism and the reaction thereto are the main factors in action.But I think there is another, possibly preponderant cause: demographic shift. France is getting less white, more black and Arab, and more Muslim. Coupled with an ever-restive leftist streak that has been evident for long (remember the student riots in May 1968 and the always volatile Left Bank?), today we have a left-migrant nexus of sorts that magnifies any issue and takes to the streets.There are large numbers of migrants, including those who came from the colonies and more recently refugees fleeing terror and chaos in Syria, Afghanistan etc. One would think that they would generally be grateful to Europe for taking them in, but radicalization is literally visible on the streets: the older generation is more secular, but their sons and especially their daughters-in-law are more observant, with beards, hijabs and other signs of religiosity. They are influenced by fiery preachers who call for jihad.It is now much easier to marshal ‘flashmobs' via social media. In fact, France has just had to turn off the Internet to prevent further provocation and nastiness. Let us note that this was not trumpeted by Deep State journalists as a sign of autocracy, although that is exactly what they say when India has to turn off the Internet in Kashmir.There were statements made by some of the rioters (I'm not sure if it is just bravado or whether they seriously mean it) that they intend to take over Europe through the power of their numbers, as they are noticeably more fertile than native whites. Eurabia is an inevitable reality, they believe. This, naturally, does not sit well with the locals. They will probably begin to curtail migration, as some Scandinavian countries have begun to do.Perhaps there is also a crisis in governance, which was the opinion of an old friend, whom I met for drinks at the landmark Publicis Drugstore on the Champs Elysees. She was unhappy about the mayor and other politicians whom she blamed for the poor state of general administration. (I just read that a suburban mayor's home was attacked, and his wife injured). Although my friend didn't talk about him, Emmanuel Macron is not universally popular either; even senior citizens appear to be upset with him.She also mentioned that the covid lockdowns had had a hugely disruptive, and lingering, effect, as many people lost their jobs, many moved out of Paris, and have had their prospects diminished. France's place in the world is also diminishing: it is now mostly a purveyor of luxury goods (fittingly, the head of LVMH is now the richest person in the world), and it was roundly humiliated by the US in the AUKUS affair, even though it is still a major arms supplier.Maybe there is a certain angst in the air. Maybe that is the root cause, or at least a root cause.I met a Pondicherry-origin man working in the transit hotel near the airport where I spent my last night in Paris, not wanting to risk riots, arson and barricades on the way from the city to Charles de Gaulle. He was generally negative, warning me about crime ranging from pickpocketing to muggings and especially the riots. He felt that his life as an immigrant (he has been there for many years) has become worse, and he felt he could be targeted by both Arabs and whites based on his Indian looks and the certainty that he was harmless and would not retaliate.I only personally witnessed a boisterous crowd shouting slogans that I couldn't understand, and no violence or arson (thankfully), but there was the constant wail of police sirens in the background, and what sounded like shots in the middle distance. Sadly, the largest library in France was set on fire. Thousands of vehicles were destroyed, and hundreds of houses looted and burned. In the end, I am told residents responded with vigilante squads fending off the unruly mobs.I also spoke to the proverbial taxi driver (a Moroccan-Frenchman), following in the footsteps of famous economists and journalists. He tried to be circumspect, and he didn't seem to be a religious person (there were no accoutrements in his car), but he told me about hard times. He was running an illegal taxi service, and he overcharged me 10 Euros since (he claimed) he didn't have enough change.He spoke about unemployment and discrimination, and how inflation was hurting his living standards. I have in the past found French Arabs not very hostile to Indians (as we don't threaten their livelihoods), and this man wasn't either.The same issue of economic problems was echoed by a Malayali manning a souvenir shop. He had arrived as a student, stayed on for a few years, and now was facing problems in bringing his family over from India. Incidentally, a lot of the souvenir stalls near Sacre Coeur, the Louvre and elsewhere are staffed or owned by Indian-origin people: I met one from Gujarat, another from Mauritius.The number of Indians I saw around Paris has gone up from prior visits: both tourists and residents. There still are far more East Asians (in my hotel there were Koreans and Singaporeans) around. I met a young woman from Kanyakumari who was leading a tour group on the Eiffel Tower. She was optimistic: she was doing her MBA, working part-time, and she has an import-export startup in India that she will be returning to.My chance encounters with these people illustrate the point about European decline. France has a nice little niche in luxury goods, but I suspect their buyers are increasingly from newly-affluent Asia. The departure area at CDG airport Terminal 1 is a veritable secular cathedral, with chandeliers and luxurious seats, surrounded by glitzy and expensive Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Cartier, etc. shops tempting the departing traveler.But decline in the former colonial powers (most evident in Britain, which also shot itself in the foot with Brexit) is a fact. In a way it is poetic justice: Paris is full of evident loot from elsewhere (the Egyptian obelisk from Luxor, the Cambodian sculptures from the Bayon and Angkor Wat) and France clearly was enriched by exploitation of the colonies.But their core industrial strength has vanished (China continues to rape and pillage their IPR), along with their position in the global GDP standings. India has overtaken France and Britain, and will soon overtake Germany. Europe is now less of a factor in the world than it has been since the Middle Ages. Asia is rising again.It's a powerful cocktail: inevitable cyclical decline, memories of imperial grandeur, the determined Islamist assault, and general anti-government feelings going way back to the French Revolution. Surely, the crackdown by some 50,000 police and if necessary, the army, will control the riots, but one day the rioters may win. Predictably, all of Europe is now shifting right-wards: Italy, Finland, Greece, possibly Spain. Hard times beget hard men.1450 words, Jul 3, 2023 This is a public episode.

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 guests 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 startedLesley Logan  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 advocational convo I had with Lindsay Moore. I think we made that word up.Brad Crowell  No, I looked that up. (Lesley: Okay, well ...) I mean, I replace that, it keeps trying to say a-vocational, but advocational is in the Wiktionary. (Lesley: Oh.) Yeah.Lesley Logan  Okay. All right. So, in our last episode, if you haven't yet listened to episode, go back and listen to it now or feel free to pause this one. Listen to it. Don't listen to it. Then listen to this one and go back and listen to it. You're gonna love Lindsay's voice. I'm gonna be really honest. (Brad: She's very sweet.) Go listen to it. If you want to listen to this one first and then the other one. I know people do that this because they tend to listen to things on like the end the week and then they go backwards in time. It's also fine. It's kind of like, knowing the answers before the questions. I don't know. It feels, it feels good. So you do you. It's really what we're saying.Brad Crowell  So it's starting at the end of the maze. (Lesley: That's me.) Yes, it is.Lesley Logan  Y'all okay, this is not in our notes, but I just have to say this because Brad was in there for this. But I'm in when I was on the Kate Wind podcast, Mom and Me Astrology. They said that like you know as with the way my chart reads, it's like really good with like before and afters. And I didn't say it but I want to say is I'm really focused on the after, and then figuring out how to get from there to the before which is now. So anyway, if you listen to that episode, you know, I like it before and after, but for different reasons.Brad Crowell  That is amazing. (Lesley: Okay.) All right. Well, before we get started, we got a couple quick things.Lesley Logan  Hello, from Monterey, California. We're at the Balanced Body POT. Y'all. We are at this POT right now. We're going to be in Korea at the South Korea POT and Seoul that is in I think May, and then we're going to be in Miami for that POT. So like, (Brad: Yeah, like this year.) get on the POT train. It's so much fun.Brad Crowell  It's a blast.Lesley Logan  Yeah. How do you get on that? That's a Balanced Body question. But, but but just know that we're there. So we hope to see you. (Brad: Yes.) And if you're in Monterey right now. Well, we're we're here. (Brad: Come and say, Hi.) We're one of the hotels on the main drag. So there you go.Brad Crowell  You'll see us bopping around the event. (Lesley: Yeah. Can't miss that.) We already have a table.Lesley Logan  Yeah. And in a week and a half, we're gonna do a pre sale for the chairs flashcards. Oh my God, I'm so proud of myself. ... I'm so proud of myself because I was I was really worried that this is gonna be another nine month project. But like I've been really meeting the deadlines and the our team is really got my back, we got a really good system going on. So I'm so excited to say that we are literally we going halfway from opening up the opportunity to buy up early so that we can hit print, and then you will get the best deal on the show, on the up, I don't know on the road, on the in the in the ...Brad Crowell  On the presale.Lesley Logan  Yeah, you'll get the best deal. It's the pre sale, it's the best deal. (Brad: Yeah.) It'll be regular price when they come out, just so you know. (Brad: That's right.) So if you're like, "Oh, wait till they ship." You'll just pay more. Thank you, but you can pay less and buy early.Brad Crowell  Yeah, so we've got a waitlist for you. Only those who are on the waitlist, they're gonna get the hookup. Okay. So you can find that waitlist at opc.me/flashcard waitlist. I'm just gonna say that again, opc.me/flashcard waitlist. And we will put that in the show notes. Because I know it's a mouthful.Lesley Logan  Yeah. And then the doors are already open for our October retreat. (Brad: What?!) Yep. And if you know, you know, so that's all we're gonna say about that. (Brad: YKYK) All right, do we have a question, Brad?Brad Crowell  We do. And actually, this question was sent to you over the gram.Lesley Logan  Yeah. Yeah, it's actually like, I think they were to be honest, I think they're referencing an old YouTube video. So bless them for going back in time. Because I don't, I actually don't do Pilates after I weight train anymore due to my schedule. So I had to like, "Oh, let me update you on my life."Brad Crowell  Well, why don't you read the question?Lesley Logan  Yeah, well probably should do that. My brain ... says, okay, this person said, You mentioned do you like to do Pilates after you weight train. I do Pilates before I weight train is one better than the other. And when I told them was, Wow, thank you so much for like looking at this old video back in that life that I had. That's what I had access to because I actually had Pilates and weight training in the same building. And so I could do it that way and here's why I liked it that way. After you first of all, like weight training requires a lot of a lot of like stamina and the muscles and strength and then you need to stretch and I actually hate stretching like I actually (Brad: Oh) so this is not a (Brad: really) scientific opinion. This is just my opinion. Yeah, so require stretching and I hate to stretch. (Brad: Oh, I love it.) I know you love it. You also hate weight training. So it's like a really ... SoBrad Crowell  I think that's what, but you're naturally flexible too, though.Lesley Logan  Yeah, but you still have to stretch.Brad Crowell  Yeah, I know. But (Lesley: Yeah.) that's not my point. My point was that I'm naturally flexible. And I love to stretch. (Lesley: I am naturally ...) I am not naturally strong.Lesley Logan  Yeah, I think I'm both. Anyways, soBrad Crowell  I'm just perfect, you know.Lesley Logan  I'm just perfect in all, in every way. Um, no. So um, so why I liked Pilates after I weight train is because it actually did the stretching for me, obviously, their strength components and Pilates a strength based workout. But it was really nice. And it really like to me prepped me for the next time I weighed trained in my, in my opinion, the the problem with doing plies, after you weight train is one you have to have the time and the accessibility and b) there's no breaks in Pilates like there are breaks and weight training. So for the person who does it before they weight train, the reason why that's an awesome option is because it warms you up for weight training, it gets all your bodies connected, it allows you to be moving from your center right away from your first rep. And you get breaks in your weight training. So if you're like, oh my God, that was a lot that was like, you know, every other set, like I just walk around and chat with people for a couple minutes and then go at it again. Like it's, it's, it's weird for me to do that. But you can so, is one better. I've never done a scientific test on this. I haven't seen anything from the Huberman podcast just gonna say he does a lot of deep scientific research. So I really just think what do you have accessibility too? And is it is either practice having a negative effect based on the order that you're doing it. If it is then switch the order or switch the day.Brad Crowell  Yeah, I think I mean, you know, like, the idea is, with Pilates, you're going to be moving, moving consistently, over 10 15 minutes, right. You're going to get the blood flowing through your body, and that is going to benefit you when you are weight training. (Lesley: Yeah.) So I love the idea of doing it before, because it gets the blood flowing. Doing it after Pilates, also, not only does it help you strengthen, but it also helps you stretch. So you could use it as a cooldown (Lesley: Yeah.) in addition. So (Lesley: Yeah.) actually, you could do it both.Lesley Logan  Yeah. (Brad: Yeah.) Yeah, that's what I so I just think like, it really has to depend on you and also your body and and then ladies, just gonna like remind you of Jenn, Jenn Pike's podcast, podcast episode and also Dr. Bender's first podcast episode. Based on our hormones, our workout schedule has to change a bit. So you're, you may have times of the week where you can do it today like I could where I could do weight training and Pilates. And then there's days where it's like, Are you kidding yourself? You should just be doing Pilates. And if you are ...Brad Crowell  Yeah or just do some jumping jacks. (Lesley: Yeah.) Good to go.Lesley Logan  Yeah. And if you are pre menopausal, that is going to be a whole different ball of wax that you get to experience on your own. Yes, love. I heard your request. I'm working on a menopausal guest. So stay tuned. But in addi... any, the too long didn't read is, do it makes you feel good. That's always gonna be better.Brad Crowell  All right. Okay. Now let's talk about Lindsay Moore.Lesley Logan  Aren't you so excited to talk about her.Brad Crowell  I am. She's amazing.Lesley Logan  We love her.Brad Crowell  Yeah, obviously. She was, actually she was the first teammate, (Lesley: We've ever hired.) that we've ever hired.Lesley Logan  Yeah. And if you didn't listen to her episode, then you don't know how much we loved her. You don't how we met and that's a reason why you should listen to it first. But anyways, Brad's gonna tell you about her.Brad Crowell  Yeah, she's just lovely. But on a mission to empower people towards getting the best health care they possibly can. Lindsay is a doula, a patient advocacy consultant, a coach and a speaker. She works with individuals, families and provides and provides, (Lesley: providers) oh, I read that wrong.She works with individuals, families and providers to foster great communication to transition well, through the different stages in life.Lesley Logan  Yeah. Which, I just want to like point out, we probably have it in our notes. But if you can notice, like she says providers versus doctors, and that we talked about that in the podcast and why like that's a really ...Brad Crowell  Yeah and we're not necessarily patients. We are clients.Lesley Logan  Yeah, I love being a client because that means I can take my business to other places.Brad Crowell  That's true. And also changes the way you think about it. SoLesley Logan  Yeah. Well, why don't I jump it. (Brad: Yeah.) So um, I love that she, we brought up this topic that she said, which is like, why don't we speak up for ourselves with medical professionals. So her points on this were that because they were this white coat and because they have his medical degree. And because we're all raised like if you're not a doctor, like you're not you don't know everything and we implicitly trust them. And ...Brad Crowell  And well, it's actually like a phrase. It's called white-coat silence.Lesley Logan  Yeah, white-coat silence.Brad Crowell  White-coat silence.Lesley Logan  Yeah, so it just means that we implicitly trust doctors that they said so and this there's this power dynamic that they know more than me (Brad: Right.) about health. And it's like, yes, they did go to school more than you did about the body. But you also know your body.Brad Crowell  Yeah, you know your body.Lesley Logan  Yeah. And then also, what other things that come into place just people pleasing in general, raise your hand unless you're driving.Brad Crowell  Well, hold on, let's talk about that I, you know, your body, I think that's good. That's, that's helpful. You don't necessarily know the science and the medicine, the medical behind your body. But when the idea here is, you know, your body. So if they're saying, well, then, you know, if they're making assumptions, for example of like, you know, this, that this and you'll be feeling this, that and the other and you're like, "Am I feeling this that and the other?" You can literally say, "I don't feel this that the other." So (Lesley: Yeah.) because you know, your body, right? (Lesley: Yeah.) So obviously, they know that the science behind it, but you can feel it.Lesley Logan  I had a doctor like remember when I was when my stomach issues. And we had talked to the guy that I ended up working with, and he had said, you know, I want you to get, I want you to make sure you don't have any parasites. Because if it's parasitic, like, it doesn't matter what I do, we have to get rid of that anyways. (Brad: Right.) So I went to the doctor, with my insurance. And you know, we we in LA, we actually had great access to great medical care, we lived in UCLA Medical District, so we had awesome access. And the doctor looked at me, like I was a crazy person. And I was like, trying to tell him how I knew I felt and he was like, you know, all your blood, your blood results look good. Everything's in range. And I was like, "I don't feel good." And so I would like, I would like us just explore, like, like, look another time at this. And it wasn't until I said, "You know, I've lost 25 pounds in the last two years with the stomach stuff." And that, that got them. So fight for it like, (Brad: Yeah.) give them more things that that will advocate and explain why you don't feel right, even though everything might say you should be.Brad Crowell  Yeah, I think I think that's really helpful. You know, because as you get frustrated, maybe you're actually revealing more information, like in your case, right there. You know, my, my mom had, I grew up with this idea that the doctor knows, but the doctor isn't necessarily right all the time. And I only knew this because my mom had her finger crushed in a garage door, like, flattened. And she was like, young, she was like in our early teens. She she went in and this doctor came in. And I don't even know what the full story was. But he said something. And my mom as a teenager was like, "What? That doesn't seem right." And I was young. And I was thinking like, "How did you have the wherewithal?" They'll be like, "No." And she told him, "You can't touch me. Leave me alone. You need to send somebody else in here." And she like, shut this guy down. And I don't think he needs to do. And she was just like, uh-uh I don't know what whatever it was that he said. She said, "Uh-uh. I don't agree with this." And that was the first time that I ever thought like, like, like, "Wow, I didn't, I didn't even realize you could do that. I thought the doctor just knew everything." SoLesley Logan  No, you can you can, I mean, you can, you know, this next part, which I want to get into really quick before you go into your stuff, is the people pleasing part because it had been so easy for her. Depending on how she was even raised to just go, okay, he knows, you know, but people pleasing is like, so what the preventive that is like, if you don't come in prepared with questions to ask to that, then it's gonna be really easy for you to like, talk to the doctor. And then because you don't want to be a bother, a pest, like a net, like an annoying and annoying client. You might just like agree with what the doctor says and ...Brad Crowell  Yeah and sure. I mean, you can, I mean, I think that most people will think while the doctors gotta be super busy. I don't want to bother them.Lesley Logan  Do you remember the Seinfeld episode where Elaine was like the writing? What do you writing into my note? What do you writing into my chart? And like she became like really obsessed with it. And they're like she was like trying to steal her chart. And they're like writing like, I don't even know I don't remember if they're actually writing anything about her. But I think like we we have this fear that they're gonna write something about us like, like, we were like an annoying patient and like don't like I worked at a doctor's office everyone and just so you know, never once ever in any of the charts I ever had to work in. Did anyone write, this person calls too much, don't answer that. Like ... now if you it has happened to you, fuck that doctor move on, but like and report them but but that's not what people are writing. They're often just really busy and signs because I asked her and I said what are some signs and symptoms that you're people pleasing because I think some people don't even realize that they're a people pleaser. And so she said because it also can be like very, you know, specific and she this is very much like are you driving home? Wish you'd had asked a question that you didn't. And I remember we talked about this earlier with the recent visit with the doctor I'll never go back to and I really was trying to very hard not to leave without having asked a question. And all I remember thinking is in the cars like all the things I wish I just said to her, like you're not listening to me, which would be the opposite would be a little agonistic. But like, still, please go into your offices, of your providers with questions you want answered, so that you don't have to remember in the moment, and if you are a recovering people pleaser, you can just like focus on your list. (Brad: Yep.) What did you love that she said?Brad Crowell  Well, first, I just wanted to say if you're hearing a bunch of crunching in the background, you're not crazy. Our dog has found a bone and he's just out of my reach.Lesley Logan  Y'all. He hid that in the bed. I swear. We had no toys in this room.Brad Crowell  No. He went outside. And he barked. And I open the door. And he came running back in with the toy. (Lesley: Yeah.) He went on to the backyard to get this bone. Yeah.Lesley Logan  Yeah. Yeah. This is, this is August, and he has a toy box. And he's always looking for a specific toy. It's not just any toy. There are specific toys. He wants a specific time. SoBrad Crowell  It's true. It is, it is amazing.Lesley Logan  That was your intermission.Brad Crowell  It was. Yes. Another thing that I'm laughing about. I just looked up on YouTube, Elaine and the Seinfeld thing? (Lesley: Yeah.) So we're gonna include a clip on YouTube videos. So you can enjoy that. So if you need a laugh right now, (Lesley: Oh, my God ...) feel free to check the show notes. ... So yeah, people pleasing. You know, it's, it's tough. It's definitely I think one one thing that would be helpful with with that is to write your questions down before you go in. Because, you know, it's really easy to freeze in the moment. I've done it, you know, like, "Oh, do you have any questions for me? Oh, no, I don't know. I don't remember. I don't even remember anything." Like, Lesley was like, "Hey, we need to take the dog to the vet, because he's got this bump." And I call the vet. And they're like, "Hey, what's wrong with them?" I'm like, "I can't remember. But I know I'm supposed to call you." So write your questions down. It'll help you in the moment. One thing that I loved, that Lindsay said, was, she talked about red flags, right, with health care providers, and you just kind of hinted at it when you were referencing your experience. And you can go back and listen to the actual interview to to hear the full extent of, you know, the frustration you had, but if you feel like the doctor is talking over you, or they're not listening to you, or you're saying something, and they keep changing the subject or they brush it aside, that's a that's a major red flag, right? If you leave the office with anxiety, that is a red flag. Okay. And, you know, I thought it was really interesting, because I think that ...Lesley Logan  Oh, I left that office visit full of anxiety. Like I have just like, I was like ... (Brad: Not just anxiety, but anger.) Anger and I was like, even, like, sad about it, because I just wanted to have a fucking doctor here.Brad Crowell  Yeah, yeah. Here here meaning in Vegas. (Lesley: Yeah.) Totally. Yeah. And I think I think thatLesley Logan  I need to go back to my California doctor. And like, literally go, I need a blood panel. (Brad: Right.) What can you do? (Brad: Yeah.) That is allowed in the world that I live in a different state than you and she's like, "Here's what we can do. And I'll do that for you." I was like, "Let's just do that. Because that makes that answers my questions that I had."Brad Crowell  Yeah. And it's frustrating, you know, but but I, I think that the other thing is, so first off, these things that we've been talking about are about, like, after the fact, after you've already met this doctor, right? And so that's important to know you can reevaluate just because you booked with a doctor and they gave you like a set of things to do doesn't mean you actually have to go like do them especially if you don't agree with that person. Right? Or they make you feel weird or you're stressed after you leave. You can absolutely find a different provider. And you can, you could say to them this I want to another provider maybe you don't like jade their opinion right away but at the end of the conversation after they've made their assessment you can say, this is what the other doctor said. But ...Lesley Logan  ... get second opinions and different prices on curtains and (Brad: Yeah.) blinds and carpet and handyman ...Brad Crowell  construction like building a patio. I mean painters.Lesley Logan  How many people that we have come to the house about the air conditioner, six?Brad Crowell  No. Three different companies. (Lesley: Three different companies.) Yeah. (Lesley: So you can shop ...) I had two electricians come by. Two electricians. (Lesley: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.) Because they because they were like, "Hey, we'll come to an evaluation. We want to see it." I was like, "Great." So I just started have an electricians stop by. (Lesley: Yeah.) Yeah.Lesley Logan  So you know, treat treat your body like you treat your house.Brad Crowell  Yeah. Or your car. But, or don't maybe because if you don't take care of your car, then don't do it like that. But here are some things you can look for in a health care provider before you meet them. So there are now like dating profiles, right. SoLesley Logan  Oh, my God. ... ad we just saw the other night. ... you like maybe it was just me. I think I was binging on my own show. Anyways, there are ads, and it is like swiping like a tinder thing. (Brad: Oh, that's hilarious.) Oh, she's available tomorrow. Brad Crowell  ... I was there for that one. (Lesley: I was like ...) Booked and actually, I think that we were just gonna mention your dad, your dad's experience with ZocDoc.Lesley Logan  Yeah, that was actually the ad we saw. And my dad 70, y'all. And he is like, oh, yeah, just he's on ZocDoc. He loves his eye doctor. He's mentioned to me 70's here we can tell. But he has mentioned seven times how much he loves her.Brad Crowell  Yeah. And then and then the other one is, when you do meet them? Again, this is kind of this is now you've met them? So, do you feel like you have, do you feel like you were able to build a relationship with the doctor? You know, did they treat you like, gotta check my my watch? Because I got to the patient in four minutes, three minutes, you know, were they, you know, like, were they basically buried in their notes the whole time? Or they actually engaging with you?Lesley Logan  You know, I kind of bring (Brad: You know) up like, because we I talked about this in the episode that I keep bringing in medical people because it really your health can actually be the biggest obstacle to you being it till you see it. If your hormones are off, your mental health is off, your body's off. But if you're like, "I don't know, guys, I this is fine." I just want to say this goes to your vets too. Like maybe you're like, "I love all my doctors." (Brad: Totally does.) We were trying to find a vet here. And we've shopped several times, we've done several things. And with Bayon, he has an interesting issue and the doctors here were unwilling (Brad: Yeah.) to figure out how to perform surgery on him. Because we said the last time he had surgery, he had a seizure. And our vet that he had was with was able to immediately stop the anesthesia. He stopped seizing and she just quickly did the removals while he was still like lightly sedated. But we ...Brad Crowell  ... prickly surgery. He's okay.Lesley Logan  He's fine. So but we had to do another surgery on him. And while the vets here are fine, and they're absolutely properly trained, whenever we mentioned this allergy or this this event, they literally shut down, can't do anything.Brad Crowell  Yeah, they just go, "Yeah, we were probably not the provider to help you with that." And it's like, "What? Okay. It's crazy."Lesley Logan  So this goes to like, it's like, learning how to advocate for yourself. Maybe if it's easier for learning while advocating for your pet, or your house or your car. Try that. But but but you there's just different signs and things that you can look out for. And our vet in California, which yes we drove four an hour's take him to the vet. Six actually because I had traffic. But she did research to make sure she can perform a surgery without him having this thing and like, there, Brad Crowell  There are people out there who can at the end of the night for before the vets before the surgery started. We were just there last week. So before the surgery started, she came out into the lobby, she met with us and she said, Hey, I was thinking about this last night. And I was like, What? You you spent the time to think about tomorrow's surgery before you came in and did I mean, you know, she's probably done this stuff 1000 times, you know, but she specifically read our dog's chart and remembered all the things and then thought about it again. And when she said that to me, I was like, you're amazing. Lesley Logan  And when she has her own building, we will give her a shout out she can't la people cannot take any more patients right now. So we will give you all of her information when she's rebuilding, and we will happily send all the dogs to her because she's amazing. Brad Crowell  Yeah. Well, anyway, so So we're talking about when you're meeting your provider? Do you feel like they treated you like a human? Did they take the time to get to know you? And then finally, when you leave the office? What were you confident in the next steps? Was it clear? Was it easy to understand? Right, these are things to look for in a health care provider. So first is check out their dating profile second is there you know, when you meet them, do you feel like they got to know you and and third? You know, did you leave the office understanding the straightforward next steps. So yeah. Alright, 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 Lindsay Moore? Well, so specifically, when it comes to being your own healthcare advocate, she said, You really need to adopt a client mindset, right? So not a patient mindset, but a client mindset. So you are the client. They are providing a service to you, and how can you collaborate with them to have the best possible experience? So I thought that was just so interesting, because we were talking about it already with all the other providers you would ever bring into your home. But let's just talk about an exterminator. Right? If an exterminator has come into your property and you've dogs in the backyard, clearly you're going to they're going to say hey, would you be so Okay as to take the dogs in the house and lock the door. Yeah, of course, no problem, I'm going to collaborate with my exterminator so that he can do the job or she can do the job properly. Like when we and that just seems normal, that doesn't even, there's nothing weird about that, that's an obvious thing to do. But somehow that gets lost when we are talking with a doctor, you know, in the same way, you are in a position, you are a client, you have 100%, you have options to go to another provider. Right? And you they need to you you can collaborate with them about your health. So I thought it was really interesting to adopt a client mindset. Lesley Logan  Yeah. And like, if you're like, I don't know about that, you know, like, maybe Brad's example is like I live in apartment, I don't know, think about the places you do shop and the ones you don't, and why you don't shop at those places. Because you have specific reasons, a specific reason that you don't eat at a certain place. That's been a client that's been a customer, it's been a consumer. So take that as like your roadmap. Brad Crowell  Yep, totally. What about you? Lesley Logan  Okay, so here are the list of questions you need to write down. And if you're driving, then you need to, you know, become amazing at memorizing Here we go. One of the best ways you can advocate yourself is to listen to the postgame. This is when you're driving home in your car. How are you feeling? Do you feel anxious? Do you feel angry? Do ask? Did you ask all the questions? So like even do you feel things in your body? Like do you feel better walking out than you? Did? Like walked in? Do you feel the same? I feel the same I'm gonna go that's positive. But if you feel worse, that's and it wasn't like Bad News Bears in there you probably. But with diagnosis, like there are something to like pay attention to. And and then to that, she said, ask yourself, What's going on your body? What needs to change moving forward? Are you comfortable seeing that doctor? Again? This is a big question. Are you comfortable seeing that doctor again? You don't have to have a reason. So this episode hasn't come out yet. But I want you and Dr. Bender, second episode on our show comes out. I want you to be really careful when you think about trying to reason with things. She has a whole segment on humans, we want to have a reason why something feels a certain way, which actually just causes more stress. So if you if I asked you, if anyone asked you are you comfortable seeing that person again? And you don't have an immediate? Yeah. And there's like a hesitancy in there. Then something in your subconscious is wondering what like wondering something and it is worth evaluating. And it might not even be the doctor. It could be the assistance. It could be the assistance that they have. It could be the front desk person it could be like column. So that's just to me like after. To me, that final question is one of the most important that you could ask yourself. And I really hope that this whole entire episode has you thinking about your health in a different way thinking about your providers that are on your team. This is your team, you guys, do you see like people who are out there like, what what you were like would aspire to these actors do not they want to be an actor, but like these people who are celebrities of some kind, when you see them and you see the life that they're living, they have a team, right? You have a team, maybe you don't have like executive assistant, maybe you don't have you know, a an accountant or, or like a social media person, but your doctors are on your team, your dogs that are on your team, your vets are on your team, if your team is not allowing you to show up and be the best version of yourself and be it till you see it, then you think of like a football team. If your quarterback is slacking, you're not gonna win this game. The other team has to suck worse than your quarterback for you to win. So, so it's so so important that you evaluate who's on your team, and make sure that they're all part of what your goals are. And for that, anything to add, Brad? Brad Crowell  No, I mean, you know, the I think that the biggest thing I just keep thinking about your recent visit. The drive home was when you were very frustrated. And that was an that was very easy. Like, Okay, moving on, you know, and for me, it's funny because we were supposed to see the same doctor, and she had some, you know, patient prior to us that like took way more time than she expected. And so we ended up seeing her partner, and it was you did you ended up seeing her partner. It was a guy and he was super cool, super chill. I was like wow, this guy's really, like I felt I left feeling like, we're on the right path. And then you ended up seeing her and you were like, I can't go back to see this personLesley Logan  And just for... just for because I don't want to hear it. I literally went seeking a woman. So it's not me not not liking a woman over a man, I specifically want a female doctor, I'm still going to look for one. Brad Crowell  I don't think anyone was assuming that's fine to clarify that. Lesley Logan  I just want to make sure because, you know, I just like I really am looking for that. And I'm going to keep looking. But in the meantime, I advocate for myself with my old provider, I'm getting, I'm getting the needs that I need it done. So I can move forward. But, you know, I just I really do hope that these experts in all these areas are helping you see that, like, it's not just about having goals and a vision board, y'all. Like your body is the thing that goes with you everywhere. Hope you're well I guess he's, what do you call this stuff? Virtual reality. (Brad: VR, okay, it's what the kids are doing.) What the kids are doing no but adults are doing it too. So that is the only time you're living in reality that is not with your body, but I really do. I'm like resistant to change on that. But I just really want you to think of your health as part of being it till you see it. And until next time, haha just kidding. I'm Lesley Logan. And I'm Brad Crowell. Thank you so much for joining us today. How are you going to use these tips in your life?

Wer sich im Produktportfolie von Hyundai umschaut, der findet dort einige SUV-Modelle. Mit dem Bayon erweitert Hyundai sein SUV-Angebot nach unten und bietet neben dem KONA ein weiteres SUV-Modell im B-Segment. Hier kommt auch das innovative 48-Volt-Hybrid-Technologie von Hyundai zum Einsatz. Darum geht es diesmal!Ich gestehe es frank und frei ein. Mich hat schon immer interessiert, wie ein Automodell zu seinem Namen kam. Da gibt es die kuriosesten Hintergründe. Die SUV-Modelle von Hyundai tragen seit einiger Zeit die Namen von Städten. Beim Bayon ist das auch so, er verdankt seinen Namen einer südwestfranzösischen Stadt. Als Autoname hat er allerdings zwei Buchstaben am Ende verloren, spricht sich aber genauso aus! Bayon(ne). Das Outfit!Mit seinem klaren Look hebt sich BAYON von der Masse ab. Ein gestreckter, nach unten offener Kühlergrill sorgt ebenso wie der angedeutete Unterfahrschutz für den SUV-Charakter des Wagens. Das gilt auch für die Seitenansicht. Power und Drive!    Die Hyundai-Kunden haben beim Kauf eines Bayon die Auswahl zwischen drei Benzinmotoren und vier verschiedenen Getrieben. Zudem sind die modernen SmartStream Motoren im Bayon mit dem innovativen 48-Volt-Hybridsystem von Hyundai kombinierbar. Die Motorenpalette startet mit 62 kW (84 PS), geht weiter mit 74 kW (100 PS) und endet bei 88 kW (120 PS). Das letztgenannte Triebwerk ist serienmäßig mit 48-Volt-Hybrid-Technologie ausgestattet, wir hatten diese Variante mit dem Sechsganggetriebe mit elektronisch geregelter Kupplung, genannt iMT, im Test.  Die Beschleunigung von 0–100 km/h erledigt der Wagen mit dieser Motor-/Getriebekombination in 10,4 Sekunden, die Spitzengeschwindigkeit wird bei 185 km/h erreicht. Der Kraftstoffverbrauch liegt nach WLTP-Messung kombiniert bei 5,5 l/100 km, die CO2-Emission bei 125 g/km. Die Kosten!Die Ausstattungslinien bezeichnet Hyundai mit Pure, Select, Trend und Prime. Unser Test-Bayon war mit der höchsten Ausstattungsstufe Prime, dem stärksten Motor mit 88 kW (120 PS) und dem 48V-Hybrid System sowie dem 6-Gang iMT-Getriebe ausgestattet. Damit lagen wir in der Preisskala mit 27.190,00 EUR knapp unter dem Maximalpreis von 28.730,00 EUR für die Version mit 7-Gang-DCT-Getriebe. Ich finde, das ist ein angemessener Preis für das Fahrzeug. Falls Ihnen prinzipiell der Sinn nach einem Bayon steht, Sie aber nicht so viel ausgeben können oder wollen – es geht schon bei 17.260,00 EUR los. Da sind Sie auch schon mit 62 kW (84 PS) in der Pureausstattung unterwegs. Und einen Bayon haben Sie dann auch. Und auch der ist schon gut ausgestattet.

La version scénique de Bookmakers Enregistrée aux SUBS de Lyon lors de la seconde édition du festival « Littérature Live », cette version scénique de « Bookmakers » prend le pari de réunir les 16 premie.è.r.e.s invité.e.s du podcast grâce à un habile re-montage de leurs propos. Résultat : une super-master-class pour évoquer en 90 minutes l'essentiel des questions à se poser quand on veut écrire un roman, de l'éveil de la vocation à la signature du contrat. Avant, pendant et après l'écriture. Trois parties, trois chapitres, le temps d'une conversation susceptible d'éclairer la célèbre phrase attribuée à William Faulkner (qu'il n'a ni écrite, ni prononcée) : « Écrire, c'est comme craquer une allumette au cœur de la nuit, au beau milieu d'un bois. La littérature ne sert pas à mieux voir. Seulement à mesurer l'épaisseur de l'obscurité. » En présence imaginaire de : Philippe Jaenada, Alice Zeniter, Delphine de Vigan, Tristan Garcia, Chloé Delaume, Dany Laferrière, Lola Lafon, Nicolas Mathieu, Marie Desplechin, Pierre Jourde, Sylvain Prudhomme, Alain Damasio, Hervé Le Tellier, Sophie Divry, Lydie Salvayre et Bayon.

À la croisée de l'album et du podcast, hear the smile est un concept inédit lancé par Claire Gibault et le Paris Mozart Orchestra. Pour ce premier épisode, Carjez Gerretsen nous fait découvrir le Concerto pour clarinette de Mozart en utilisant sa voix comme un fil conducteur à ce moment intime et privilégié. Enregistré au Musée Guimet, au milieu des statues de la cour khmère, Carjez a livré une interprétation éminemment personnelle, touchante et vibrante du Concerto. Soliste du PMO depuis plusieurs années, Carjez Gerretsen est une personnalité à part, un musicien qui ne laisse personne indifférent. Né aux Pays-Bas, diplômé des CNSMDP de Paris et de Lyon, Carjez mène une carrière où répertoires symphonique, chambriste et contemporain s'entrecroisent harmonieusement. Entouré de ses amis du PMO, il a choisi d'explorer l'un des sommets du répertoire pour clarinette.

W piątek na platformie Prime wystartował został jeden z najdroższych seriali w historii, "Władca Pierścieni: Pierścienie Władzy". Na początek Amazon zaprezentował dwa odcinki, które zostały wyreżyserowane przez J.A. Bayonę, twórcę takich filmów jak "Sierociniec", "Niemożliwe" i "Jurassic World: Upadłe królestwo". Postanowiliśmy obejrzeć te odcinki i sprawdzić, czy na naszych oczach rodzi się legenda porównywalna do tej, jaką stała się trylogia Petera Jacksona. Rozmawiają Julia Taczanowska i Marcin Pietrzyk.

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 guests 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.Brad Crowell 0:46  All right, all right, all right. Welcome back!Lesley Logan 0:49  To the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co host in life, Brad and I are going to dig into this gracious conversation with Kellee Forkenbrock. U'm, sorry everyone Brad has has given me a lot of hand signals. It's like a fucking facement coach.Brad Crowell 1:03  ... a second ago you weren't sitting off to the left of the mic. You were actually on the mic. So now ....Lesley Logan 1:08  We're gonna keep all this in. (Brad: Yeah, we're keeping it. We're keeping it.) Not like literally he looks like either like an airplane person like trying to lead the plane in or ...Brad Crowell 1:16  If you're watching on YouTube, I'm really good at hiding. So my arm goes off to the side of the camera. And then I'm like, I'm signaling from the side.Lesley Logan 1:24  By the way it means my eyes go all the way over to the third baseman (Brad: It's true.) to the right and then I have to assume (Brad: It's true.) "What is he pointing at?" (Brad: Yeah, it's usually ...) Is there something in my hair? (Brad: No.) Is there something on my teeth? (Brad: No.) Anyways, that's ... (Brad: You're beautiful.) Thank you. Thank, you know what? (Brad: Winning, right here.) Well, actually, I'm already using Kellee's BE IT action item. (Brad: I love it.) So, Kellee Forkenbrock in our last episode, if you haven't yet listened to her interview, what are you doing? Go listen.Brad Crowell 1:51  What are you doing?Lesley Logan 1:52  Seriously? I can't wait to drive through Iowa because Kellee, Rachel, Sandy BrownBrad Crowell 1:57  It's gonna be a good hang. I'm looking forward to it.Lesley Logan 1:59  Actually, Jenn Voss was there now. Frickin, we're gonna have the best hangout session. (Brad: Yeah, it's gonna be good.) And I've always wanted to know a librarian and I know your cousin is one but (Brad: Yeah) she's sorry to your cousin. I think she's my favorite. So, (Brad and Lesley laughs) if you haven't ...Brad Crowell 2:15  Sorry, you also don't know my cousin very well, so fair enough.Lesley Logan 2:18  I know. Not yet. Not yet. We're gonna we... it's only Christmas time when I see her. So, um, if you haven't yet listen to that ... what are you doing? Go back. Listen to that one. You can listen after this one. You can hit pause on this one. Whatever you want to do. But anyways, you gotta listen to Kellee because she is amazing.Brad Crowell 2:33  She's pretty much fire.Lesley Logan 2:35  She's fire. (Brad: That's true.) Also, she has two names.Brad Crowell 2:39  She does have two names, and you're gonna have to figure out why she has two names (Lesley: Y'all listen to the episode.) when you listen to the episode. (Lesley: Yeah) (Brad laughs)Lesley Logan 2:45  Okay. So, at the time you're listening this Brad and I are in Colorado. (Brad: Oh, yeah.) Kicking it in Denver. (Brad: Yeah) We're hanging out with some of our podcast guests like Michael (Brad: Yeah, where we at.) Unbroken and we are at Momentum Fest which is (Brad: We are at Momentum Fest.) Jessica Valant, who was one of our podcast guests. She is the founder of Momentum Fest and we're so so friggin excited to be there. (Brad: Yeah.) So it's ...Brad Crowell 3:09  By the way, it's super fun and it's not Pila... not necessarily only Pilates. (Lesley: It is movements.) It's movement. (Lesley: Yeah) So it's a ton of fun, yoga, barre, dance, Pilates, all the things (Lesley: There's meditation and everything.) Yeah, (Lesley: Yeah) it is, it's an absolute blast. (Lesley: and us. and we're there.) Yeah. And then and then I hang out at the merch booth the whole time. (Lesley: Yeah.) Lesley teaches and she ... (Lesley: I hang out with like John Steele.) She corrals John Steele. (Lesley: We gonna talked to John Steele one day.) Oh, we should have him on the pod.Lesley Logan 3:38  I mean, we've already had him on our (Brad: We had.) if you're an OPC member you actually can see the coolest freakin interview. (Brad: It's an incredible.) Not even what's on my notes to talk about but (Brad: No, not at all.) OPC members have access to this incredible interview we did with John Steele. And we surprise John Steele with Jay Grimes which if you're not a Pilates teacher, you're like, oh ... (Brad: Who are these people? Yeah, doesn't mean anything.) words they don't know. But Joseph Pilates is a man and John Steele, (Brad: It's a good place to start.) it's like pseudo adopted son and he wrote a book and Brad's parents also picked up the book because I left it downstairs one year and I promptly decided to hide it when I got to the part where it just says Pilates teaches people have better sex. And I was like, "Let's just not let your parents get to that page." Anyways, Jay Grimes also does a Pilates and Jay always admired John. And so I had to surprise John ...Brad Crowell 4:27  It was an incredible opportunity (Lesley: Yeah) because we know Jay really well. Jay is Lesley's teacher. So having John Steele on, we already knew, because we had a, we had a dinner with Jay, he told us all about this book. We have to read it and he told us all about how much he admired John. And then when we were at Momentum Fest a year ago, we had a booth across from John (Lesley: Yeah) and I got a chance to hang with him all weekend. (Lesley: John has ...) Lesley, hung with him all weekend.Lesley Logan 4:54  John has a pod hat. John is one of the first people to own (Brad: Yes, he has a Be It pod hat.) the Perfect is Boring trucker hat. (Brad: Yeah) Because an 80 something year old man with a wiry curly hair, (Brad: Yeah) wearing the trucker hat and fuckin' kelly green.Brad Crowell 5:09  Pretty cool. Pretty cool. (Lesley: Pretty cool.) Pretty cool. (Lesley: Anyways ...) Anyway, so we surprise John with Jay and it was lovely. So if you're an OPC member, you get to see that (Lesley: Yeah) is part of the Facebook group. So anyway, moving right along ...Lesley Logan 5:21  Really quickly, just so you all know, speaking of Pilates, if the idea of better sex, or just the fact that Joseph Pilates as a real human being and other people followed him it has you intrigued or you are just a mat lover in general, the Full Body in 15 doors are open. (Brad: Yes) The link is in the show notes. I'll tell you it's onlinepilates.classes.com/, no, maybe it's not that, it's probably fullbodyin15.com. Brad, what is it? We're gonna edit this out? If we don't know... (Brad: It's fullbodyin15.com) Great. Go there fullbodyin15.com (Brad: Yeah) and the doors are open.Brad Crowell 5:55  Yeah. So base... basically, just for those of you who might not know Full Body in 15 is for newbies, beginners, people who are not like, you know that anyone who anyone is welcome to join us. If you've been doing Pilates forever. You're (Lesley: Yeah) welcome to join us for it. (Lesley: Yeah) But this is a beginner's program for people who maybe they're runners or weightlifters or you know, whatever yogiLesley Logan 6:19  If you've heard that you should try out Pilates but you've not (Brad: Right.) it's for dancers, right? It's not. I'm not one. It is the best thing to add to anything you already love. (Brad: Yes) And it is going to, we're teaching you how to do a full body workout in 15 minutes. (Brad: Yep) We actually teach you how to be the teacher of your own body. It's super great. If you are ...Brad Crowell 6:39  It's actually really great because (Lesley: Brad did it.) I'm such a nerd about like, technique, and, you know, like structure and all that kind of stuff. And in this in this week long program, there's three workshops there, you know, roughly 90 minutes and Lesley goes through the 'why' of the exercise is. (Lesley: Yeah) And also the 'how', the why and the how. (Lesley: The what, the why.) Right. Yeah and who, I mean ...Lesley Logan 7:06  You know, the 'who is you' and the 'win' is when we're doing it. (Brad laughs) So here's the deal. It's the it's a free program. So let's just get to, it's a free program. (Brad: free program) And if you are a Pilates professional, and you're like, "Wait, I still kind of want to go." You can come. (Brad: Yeah, join us. No biggie.) you absolutely can come. We had a ton of teachers join us last time. But this is if you are a mat, if you like literally all you have is room, all you own is like space on the floor to lay down. This is for you. (Brad: Yeah) Go to fullbodyin15.com to sign up. Brad Crowell 7:31  And if you are a Pilates person and your significant other, you've been trying to convince them to do Pilates forever, and they don't listen to you. And you think that they might listen to somebody else. You can have them join us.Lesley Logan 7:44  I... Last time we had an osteo path.Brad Crowell 7:47  We had the husband (Lesley: of a Pilates teacher) who never does Pilates (Lesley: who is an osteopath) and he watched it and he's like, (Lesley: He did it.) oh, she understands the body. (Lesley: Yeah) This is really cool. (Lesley: Yeah) And that so that there's that.Lesley Logan 7:59  Yeah, I mean, I hope he recognizes that his wife also applies.. of Pilates instructor ...Brad Crowell 8:02  I'm sure she, I'm sure, I'm sure he was like, "Oh, okay." (Lesley laughs) Yeah.Lesley Logan 8:06  It's okay girl. (Brad: I hope so.) My husband also only does it when we have a reteat or so. (Brad: Busted) ... thrown under Brad. Okay. Do we have an audience questions this week?Brad Crowell 8:15  We do, we do. We totally do. If the audience question is, what is that sound in the background? (Lesley: That's Bayon.) That's our Bayon.Lesley Logan 8:23  He's looking at me. (Brad: Yes) It's too early.Brad Crowell 8:25  Yeah, (Lesley: it's too ...) it's way too early buddy. (Lesley: too early for our walk) Like hours hours too early.Lesley Logan 8:29  No, the winter really screws (Brad: Yeah) up because I think he gets his clock wrong. (Brad: Yeah) Anyway,Brad Crowell 8:33  All right, so the question we got from an audience member, and that was submitted through Instagram, on our Instagram channel was, "How is it possible that you get all the things done that you do? I feel so overwhelmed, and it's, it's like, I need more than one of me. Do you have an assistant? When do you know if you need an assistant?"Lesley Logan 8:56  Yeah. So okay, first of all, thank you.Brad Crowell 9:00  There's a lot of questions all in one, I think it was great. (Lesley: Yeah) Thanks for that.Lesley Logan 9:03  So I you know what? I literally get how do you get everything done in my DMs on a regular basis. And if you were like, "I (Brad: Yeah) wanted to ask you that too." You're gonna keep asking, I'm gonna send you this episode. So here's, here's the deal. In the past when it was just myself and myself, and I paid Brad's company to help. I feel you, like I frickin fill you and I was so scared. I was so scared to hire. I didn't think I could afford it. I didn't think my business was big enough. I don't know who I thought assistants were for. But a lot of the stuff we actually, like a scheduling tool was like hugely essential to getting things done because you'd be surprised what technology can do if they can work like a human.Brad Crowell 9:51  Let me just start, let me just start over (Lesley: Okay) because when we met, you were texting all of your clients, (Lesley: I was.) every time, every weekLesley Logan 9:58  So you are doing that, you're not alone, I too texted. I had over six figure teaching business 20 hours a week. (Brad: And she was texting all of her clients.) Texting clients, (Brad: and ...) confiming them through text. I never had a day off because they were texting me on my day off to reschedule.Brad Crowell 10:12  On Sunday, Saturday, it didn't matter. It was like she was always texting people to book them. And then she had this hilarious like frenzy. She was like, "Hey, Thursday at three just opened up who wants it?" And then like, ...Lesley Logan 10:25  Yeah, and that was the whole (Brad: you know) thing (Brad: but) and that was annoying. And then I had a client, who was a 6am client, and he would text me at 5:45 in the morning, going, "I'm hungover. I'm not coming in." I'm like, fuckin' jerk." Because like, so I had to have a talk with him. I was like, "You, if you are drinking the night before, and you do not cancel me at the bar. I'm charging you double. (Brad: Yeah) Do not text me 15 mins before because I'm already up. I'm already on my run." (Brad: I'm already there.) I could have slept in. (Brad: Right) So anyways, (Brad: totally) soBrad Crowell 10:54  Anyway, so the point ...Lesley Logan 10:56  The irony is, he's the guy, we got the scheduling tool from. (Lesley laughs)Brad Crowell 10:59  Yeah, that's true. So he had a scheduling tool business. And when we were talking about it, it was like, "What if all of this stuff was not something you're texting them. Instead, it was in a scheduling tool." And we worked with them for like two or three years to try to build a scheduling tool that was specifically for fitness people. And that was obviously a competitor to Mind Body. And because we were we were annoyed at it. And it was also really costly.Lesley Logan 11:30  That was too expensive. It wasn't like, I would rather have a real like human being assistant, if I was going to spend 200 bucks, I'd like you knowBrad Crowell 11:36  Yeah, I mean, you're you're managing 20 or 30 clients. Right? (Lesley: Yeah) And spent $200 a month to do that didn't seem to make sense. So anyway, we, we started working with this company to build an app that we could then turn around and offer to other Pilates instructors. And unfortunately, that didn't last the way that we had hoped. And after some time, the company actually decided not to build the fitness app. And so we're like, alright, and you know, it's fine. Our business changed, our business had changed a bit at that point. So we were (Lesley: Oh yeah ...) doing things a little differently, but (Lesley: and then the pandemic) and then the pandemic, and that obviously jacked it all up. But during the pandemic, the craziest thing happened, we were approached by another software company, and they said, "Hey, we love what you're doing with Profitable Pilates, you should check out what we're doing. We would love to customize our app to do what you want." (Lesley: Yeah) And I was like, "I'm sorry, say that last part again?" So we get a chance to sit down with them and to review what it is that they're doing. And then we got to add in fitness business coaching (Lesley: Yeah) to their (Lesley: Yeah) amazing scheduling tool. (Lesley: Yeah) And that was like I wish that had been there when we were looking for a (Lesley: Oh my God) scheduling tool years before. (Lesley: Yeah) and now this is the only scheduling tool out there that has a fitness business coaching built into the app, (Lesley: Yeah) you know, and it's all directed by you know Lesley, so the the anyway you you need this app because it's going to save you all of that time texting, all that time scheduling, you're going to automatically be charging people for late cancels, all this stuff (Lesley: Yeah) and what what circling back around (Lesley: to this question) to the question all of this stuff takes so much time.Lesley Logan 13:27  People don't realize like actually how much time it takes until they have to do it anymore. The the the the idea that when you go to check your text messages, your business is blended with your personal life is overwhelming, (Brad: That's actually stressful.) it's very stressful (Brad: Yeah) Brad is very big on this, we don't like he and I try really really hard not to even text each other about business. (Brad: Yeah) Like we it is like a last record like, "911. Holy get on here." (Brad: Yeah, texts each other. Right.) But um so I, if you are a fitness business instructor and you are overwhelmed, you need my scheduling tool, get in the show notes to get the 30 day free trial, (Brad: Yup) it will act as an assistant for you and it's like the fee once you start is 50 bucks a month. I promise you you cannot find an assistant for 50 bucks a month and so it's going to take over a lot of the busy work that you have to do especially the bookkeeping, the payroll, the the package can't count...Brad Crowell 14:18  Yeah, if you have a team there's a there's another level that does teams you can pay them all the things. Anyway (Lesley: anyway) but the the I think that the biggest thing is the mental space that you're going to get back (Lesley: Yeah) that you don't have to think about, "Oh, I have to remember to text this person because they canceled or no ..." Lesley Logan 14:34  And that's overwhelming like keeping all that in your head. (Brad: Rght) And you're gonna miss it and then you're gonna and then if you are overwhelmed right now, I know you, if you're listening to this podcast, you are a recovering or like still a perfectionist overachiever person. Hi, I see you. And you are going to get mad at yourself when you forgot to text someone in time to get them scheduled for something and you're like, "I lost that money." You need a scheduling tool. I promise (Brad: Yeah) you. I don't care how little you think your business It's going to allow you to feel legitimate, it's going to take your business away from your personal life and allow you to have space and grace. (Brad: Yeah) The other thing ... (Brad: ... oh, God.) Oh, I was just gonna go to the next question ...Brad Crowell 15:10  Oh, so if you if you have any interest in how Lesley schedules her actual calendar, we've got a free webinar on that that also will lead you to this our scheduling tool, the webinars called Ditching Busy and ditchingbusy.com. (Lesley: Yeah) If you want to go directly and skip the webinar and go directly to download the app, we will put that link in the show notes.Lesley Logan 15:33  Yeah. So the second question is, or the second two questions, "Do have an assistant when you need to know you need an assistant? (Brad: Yeah) So in full transparency, we all have assistants in our company, because while I have, like the tools for people to schedule with me, I actually need someone to help me schedule me for other things. (Brad: Sure) So um, so that could not be automated by a bot. Anyway. And so and Brad, same thing like he, he has, we have a scheduling tool for him. But we need someone to monitor that and also help him get things on the book.And protect my calendar, and all, you know, I double book myself sometimes all the things, you know.Yeah, so so in fact, we do have assistants, even our operations person has an assistant now, how do you know you need assistant? When like you have made sure you've automated everything you frickin can (Brad: Yeah) and you still can't get it all done. (Brad: Yeah) You need and you also need ...Brad Crowell 16:33  And when you when you feel like you're barely keeping your head above water, (Lesley: Yeah) and you've already put automations in place, because that's like, like, for example, we we had the first assistant that we ever hired. You know, she was with us for four years. (Lesley: Shout out to Lindsay.) Yeah, Lindsay, she's the most organized person we've ever met. She's amazing.Lesley Logan 16:34  Seriously, I know. And she's ... (Brad: but after ...) all of these things. And I'm like, "That girl's kid is going to be the most organized child."Brad Crowell 16:51  But after two years, she was like, "Hey," and she raised her hand, she's like, "By the way, I'm so maxed on my hours, I can't do anything else." And we went back and we looked at all the things we had asked her to do two years ago, and we're like, "Oh, you're still doing that." PS, we can automate that now. And so we took like, almost a third, maybe even half of what we had originally asked her to do. And we turned it into some kind of an automation, which freed up a bunch of time for her to be able to do the things that were actually benefiting us, (Lesley: Yeah) you know, so (Lesley: and so I know ...) automation is first and then you know, you need to then when you still like, "Wow, I just can't manage it all." That's when you would consider bringing on an assistant.Lesley Logan 17:37  And you would bring on an assistant and you didn't ask this but I'm gonna tell you whose strengths are your weaknesses. So you're not hiring another you. You're hiring someone who is like, I am so not detail oriented, literally came in with an idea to the team and I'm like, "Great, can you tell my assistant that idea and tell her to help me schedule it." And that's just (Brad: Right) because my strengths are not details, that is not and when I have to get in the details, it immediately pulls me into this like I get frickin negative to be honest I like get pissy, I like don't have an abundance mindset. So I have learned to delegate that off into people whose strengths are the details. So I love this question. Thank you (Brad: Great question.) for asking. (Brad: Yeah) Really amazing. If you have a question for us that you would like our opinion on, just DMs at the @be_it_pod. (Brad: And it can be anything.) Yeah, you can ask Brad about his cactuses. He loves it.Brad Crowell 18:27  I mean, we were just listening to Iliza (Lesley: Schlesinger) Schlesinger. And her the questions she gets are, (Lesley: Yeah) they make no sense to me why, anyway, ask them because how could she possibly ...Lesley Logan 18:40  You want to ask me about our wedding? You can ask us about our wedding.Brad Crowell 18:42  ... Be an expert on some of this stuff. But I love it. I think it's amazing. So you can ask us anything.Lesley Logan 18:47  You can ask us anything. It does not have to be business. It does not have any Pilates. (Brad: Nope) It can literally be like, like, you know, what's your favorite water bottle? Which I will tell you once they freakin pay me because I'm obsessed with this bottle everyone.Brad Crowell 18:58  Yeah, yeah, we've got a new company.Lesley Logan 18:59  I'm obsessed (Brad: They are pretty cool.) And the moment you hear me talking about it. Yes, I'm getting paid. And yes, you're gonna buy it. (Brad laughs) Anyways, I think we should talk about Kellee.Brad Crowell 19:08  Yeah, let's talk about Kellee. All right. Eliza David, (Lesley: whoa) when a pen is in hand, and Kellee Forkenbrock on the day to day, when she's working in the library. She's hanging with her kids or attending grad school. Kellee is an author, student, librarian and Mama whose life began at 40. Or so she says when she decided to get sober and started following her passions. (Lesley: Okay ...) So I'm just gonna say that again. She's got two names because one is her pen name. And the other is her real name. (Lesley: Yes. Okay.) Yeah. (Lesley: So) I know we just gave it away even though we told you at the beginning that you need to do listen the other episode but ...Lesley Logan 19:49  You know if they made it this far. Now they're in. You're in. (Brad: It's true. Now you're in.) First of all, also, I think if you buy her books on Amazon and like 99 cents and there's some free ones.Brad Crowell 19:56  Yeah. They're 99 cents, she's got one free and the others at 99 cents. (Lesley: Yeah and ...) So go support Eliza David. That's what with the z - e l i z aLesley Logan 20:04  And if you're not if you're like, "I don't do steamy romance." Let me just tell you after Dr. Celeste, and the, you know, the Fifty Shades of Grey, I think we all could use, like a little reprieve of like learning things and you know all this stuff like go let your mind wander. So, go go read her books. I think that'd be great. She's amazing. I'm gonna jump in with one thing I love that she said, which is the journey is not a waste and this one. (Brad: Yeah) I gotta be honest, I I'm a recovering perfectionist and overachiever. Notice it is inactive recovering. Because I freaking hate when things don't go the way I plan. And I want 100% start off with like, what a waste of time. That was such a waste of time or like we make a wrong turn like, "Oh my God, that was like 20 minutes." That is ...Brad Crowell 20:51  I know. I get frustrated too. When I when I mess up the directions.Lesley Logan 20:54  It just happened the other day. (Brad: Yeah) We were getting tile, you had to go to another appointment. (Brad: Yeah) And you missed the exit. And you're like, you're like so mad at yourself. And you made it to your appointment on time anyway.Brad Crowell 20:54  I did. I made it.Lesley Logan 20:54  Because Vegas has no traffic. Anyway, the point is, I'm still I believe this, I 100% like cosign subscribe, like the journey is not a waste, I will tattoo it somewhere on my body. And yet, I catch myself thinking it's a waste. And so I really love that she mentioned this because I needed the reminder, that means you all need the reminder. And ...Brad Crowell 21:27  Well, so okay, so she's sober. (Lesley: Yeah) And she didn't get sober until I believe her early like end of her late 30s, late 30s, early 40s. I'm not sure exactly. But it I would imagine, it would be very easy to go. Wow 20 years of hard drinking, I feel like was a waste.Lesley Logan 21:46  Well, we'll just say drinking. I don't want to put a thing attached though I don't know ...Brad Crowell 21:50  Oh, she very clearly said hard drinking (Lesley: Okay) in the interview. (Lesley: If she said, okay, that's fine. And ...) Straight up. She transitioned from binge drinking in college to (Lesley: Well, she didn't have like a bubble.) she said she had three phases. (Lesley: Yeah. Okay.) She said binge drinking in college to to the New York West Side martinis to the wine Mama. (Lesley: Oh, and she ...) And she said when, when she said the reason that the big, the big awareness was when her daughter was like, "Mom, you're having a bad day? Do you want mommy juice?" And (Lesley: yeah) she was like, "Oh, my God."Lesley Logan 22:25  Well, we we we have a member whose kids also pour... poured mommy juice for her. And she's like, "Is this a bad thing?" (Lesley laughs) (Brad: Right. So ... ) It was a pandemic. We'll give her a break.Brad Crowell 22:36  ... anyway, definitely, she definitely put that out there. But anyway, I think that it would be easy to look back on that and say, "What a waste?"Lesley Logan 22:46  Yeah. And you know, here's the deal. If you took it, (Brad: That I would disagree.) Yeah. And she would too. (Brad: Yes) So, whether you like if you think you took the wrong job, or you did the wrong person or you chuck the wrong route to work one day or, you know, you did something you're like, "That was so stupid." None of that is a waste. All of it, is a lessons and learning experiences. And I you know, I I think we need to be kinder to ourselves, and we need to almost be more of a observer in those times where things don't go the way we planned (Brad: Yeah) or we made a decision. We look back on and go, "Woah, that was dumb." You know, I mean, I was just had a ...Brad Crowell 23:25  It's really hard. It's really hard to be kind to yourself.Lesley Logan 23:28  Well, I was just on a lunch date with someone. And we were talking about exes. And like, I didn't say this because I have, I am so grateful. I but like she had mentioned like, "You know, I wasted all this time with these people." And I and I said, "You know, my husband and I probably would not have married each other if we had not had the relationship before." Because I wasn't (Brad: I think that's very ...) like a musican. Are you kidding? (Brad: Yeah) Because I dated all these perfect on paper people I was like, well guess what? Let's try something new. So I like the journey is not a waste, everything is setting you up for the next step. And I was just, (Brad: Yeah) "Who was I talking to about ...?"Brad Crowell 23:29  ... the successes and the failuresLesley Logan 23:36  Yeah, but I was talking to somebody about video games maybe the podcast, anyways. Basically like Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong that's a video games I played. So so sorry go back to your elder millennial days (Brad: and duck hunter.) Yeah, I did not get Duck Hunter, (Brad: Oh) because you needed it like an extra thing. (Brad: Yeah) I was poor. So um, the fact that we had Donkey Kong and Mario Brothers when my grandfather got tired of it. Anyways, so you like you do a level and you learn a bad guy and you beat that bad guy and then the next level you have that bad guy but you know but then there's a new bad guy and then you learn that and then the (Brad: Sure) next level and then you get to the palace to save the fucking princess. And I frickin hate it with no save a fucking princess. Like it could be a frickin prince by the way. Anyways, we're saving someone and all the bad guys you've ever had to be are all there, right?Brad Crowell 25:00  Also her name was Princess Toadstool. (Brad laughs) That's such a weird name.Lesley Logan 25:05  Somebody didn't like women. Anyways, the truth is, is that you could not be at that level if you hadn't done the other levels. (Brad: Yeah) So whatever you're about to go up to whatever obstacles in your way, the only reason you actually have any attempt at achieving, getting past it going through it being on the other side of it is because of the journey you had before it. All the things you had before, all the lessons you learned, whether you choose to learn from those lessons that's on you. But but they're all happening for you.Brad Crowell 25:37  Well, I think it's funny. Funny is the wrong word. I think that it's when it becomes circuitous. If you don't learn from it.Lesley Logan 25:45  Can you say that word again?Brad Crowell 25:46  Circuitous. (Lesley: I don't think I know it.) ... meaning it's a circuit. (Lesley: Oh) (Lesley laughs) It's a circle as a better way to say. So you won't, you know, if you don't learn from the experience you had, you somehow, in some form, you end up repeating that experience. (Lesley: Oh) So I think a great example is people who end up dating the quote, unquote, "same person over and over" or they quote, unquote, "make the same mistakes over and over and over". It's because, you know, you haven't learned from it the first time (Lesley: Yeah) or the second time or third time. (Lesley: Yeah.) And so becomes a pattern.Lesley Logan 26:21  Yeah. Well, anyways, I guess we could talk about that for an hour. (Brad: It's a whole another thing.) Thank you, Kellee, for that. What did you love what she said?Brad Crowell 26:32  So she said, she actually had this whole conversation about discern... discerning, the voice of fear, versus the voice of reason. (Lesley: Yeah) And I thought that was, (Lesley: She's brilliant.) that was really poignant. Yeah. I mean, like ...Lesley Logan 26:49  We're gonna get Brad word of the day toilet paper for the pod, like you can poignant, circuitous.Brad Crowell 26:54  That was a really gracious. No, so so ...Lesley Logan 26:59  Poignant is great. It fits perfectly. Keep it in.Brad Crowell 27:01  Yeah, she, she. I thought this was really cool because everybody second guesses themselves, you know. And ... it like for her, she was talking about going to get a master's degree. You know, she's in her, I think mid 30s at that point. And she's like, "Really now? Why, you know, is this the right thing to do?" Her husband was excited about it. She already had kids at this point. But, you know, and then she started to second guess herself. And she's like, "Wow. Really, do I need this? Why do I," you know, and started this, like, you know, rabbit trail of why. And, ultimately, that allowed her to come through the fear and decide this is the voice of reason, not the voice of, you know, (Lesley: fear) fear. Because, like, is she afraid that no one's going to take her seriously unless she has the degree. Right? (Lesley: Yeah) Or is she going to further her career and life by having this degree?Lesley Logan 28:07  Yeah, I think that I think this is like y'all. I don't know, somehow this is becoming a shirt. Like, people like, "Oh, my gut says this." Is it your gut, though? Is it like is it your gut? Or are you, is it a fear voice in there? And I think, I think a lot of times obstacles, fear voices, they're going to come up on purpose, how bad are you going to fight for them? Are you going to reason with yourself? Are going to take time to get to know that, that the difference of it and and so I, I would love to hear if you have and I, if you have a clear understanding of the voice of fear versus voice of reason. And also, by the way, I'm reading this book Chatter, but you should name them you should have a name for the voice of reason. (Brad: Oh, yeah.) And you should have a name for the voice of fear and you should have a name for that bitch in your head who's like telling you to, "You're not good enough." They should all like, they should all be named. And and you can go you know what, "Tina, (Sorry for the Tina's listening. I love you. This is I'm just picking out Tina, it came to my head.) I hear you and I'm not afraid of that." (Brad: Yeah) But thank you for that. You can take that and also ...Brad Crowell 29:13  We're gonna get there, we're gonna get there. (Lesley: Okay ..) But I think that, you know, the, the way that she decided this was a voice of reason not fear was to dig into her, 'why'. Why am I doing this? What you know, like, why go after a master's degree? Why at this point in my life, you know, why do I want to do this? And when she began to analyze that, when she began to look at her 'why', then it allowed her to confidently say, I I should do, I should I should do this. Sorry. Our dog is digging at the carpet because the carpet is clearly not soft enough.Lesley Logan 29:58  Well, but also she has with the current state of our house is because she dug it two carpets. (Brad: It's true.) And she won. (Brad: Yeah) So I just sent her a very soft hair tie.Brad Crowell 30:10  So but but she so Kellee was talking about her why, and her why allowed her to confidently make the decision. And that is something that each and every one of us can take away and really start to shake that like imposter syndrome. (Lesley: Yeah) You know that that fear based decision making. Why are you doing what you're doing, will help you confidently make the decision.Lesley Logan 30:39  I Kellee, I'm obsessed with you and Rachel Piper, our OPC teacher, girl. Thank you. Thank you for introduction. (Brad: Good choice. Good referral.) Okay, so let's talk about the BE IT action item that she had, because I have referenced it a couple of times (Brad: You have) I'm so excited about it.Brad Crowell 30:56  Yeah. All right. All right. So what bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Kellee Forkenbrock?Lesley Logan 31:04  Learn to say thank you. Learn to say thank you. Thank you, Tina. Thank you, I don't know the voice of reason. It just ...Brad Crowell 31:15  The voice of fear, the voice of reason, the ...Lesley Logan 31:18  Yeah. Name them all for yourself. Name yourself, thank yourself. Then she said thank you for the for for releasing from me from that ex. Thank you for this argument I get to have with another.Brad Crowell 31:28  Well, everything about this goes back to the the the first action item that you pulled out, which is the journey is not a waste.Lesley Logan 31:35  Thank you for that opportunity to learn about myself.Brad Crowell 31:39  Right. Thank you for you know, bringing me to a place where I realized that this is no longer serving me whatever this might be. Kellee's case, she was talking about alcohol, you know, and this is not serving me anymore. And I've become aware of it. Thank you for that experience. I mean you move on. (Lesley: Yeah) Could be changing a job. It could be firing a client. It could be, I don't know (Lesley: Yeah, I think ...) whatever, opening a new bank account.Lesley Logan 32:05  I mean, like, and also when she said learn to say thank you. She didn't say and then qualify it. So my ladies listening when someone says you look amazing. Don't say this old thing from Ross. I don't care if it's this old thing from Ross, say thank you. (Brad: Right, this old thing from Ross, awww) Or it was on sale. Like ...Brad Crowell 32:26  No, you don't have to, that's just deflection that's not actually receiving.Lesley Logan 32:29  You're literally not receiving it. So thank thank thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. First of all, thank you for listening.Brad Crowell 32:38  Yeah, thank you for listening.Lesley Logan 32:40  Thank you, Kellee, for becoming like part of our world. I or letting us into your world or I don't know, I'm just freaking excited to know you. I'm gonna go get a library card. By the time, (Brad: Yeah) you listen to this, I have a library card because I actually have 17 books. I want to listen to 17 like exact, because I just listened to an interview with a woman. She said 'yes' to the podcast, by the way. (Brad: Oh yeah) So I'm super excited about it. And it's three books about venture capitalism. And you're like, "What Lesley, I don't want to know anything about that." Let me just tell you, my ladies listening because I know what our listeners are hello to the men, but 98% of you are girls. Women identify as women. Here's a deal. We need to know how to create wealth. (Brad: Yeah) Because I'm sorry, I'm not waiting 202 years to achieve the same wealth as men. You shouldn't be excited about that. So I'm getting a library card because. Brad Crowell 33:28  They don't know what you're referring to. But yes.Lesley Logan 33:30  She's coming on, you'll know when (Brad: Yeah) you'll know. You'll know when it comes on. (Brad: Yeah) Thank you for listening. Thank you. (Brad: Thank you.) I'm getting a library card because this woman rapid, like rattled off like three books that I have to listen to. And then I met with this coffee girl, and she ran off three new books I need to read. And so I just need a library card because I refused to buy extra credits on Audible. So I'm just gonna (Brad: Yeah, I know.) go with that. And you too. (Brad: I went too.) You too, should get a library card. (Brad: You too.) Let's all support our local librarians. Okay, Kellee, thank you. (Brad: Thank you.)

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 guests 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 best friend, Clare Solly and I are going to dig into the phenomenal convo I have with Helaine Knapp in our last episode. If you haven't yet, listen to that interview, feel free to pause this now and go back and listen to that one, then come back and join us. My mom just blew up my phone because she has been watching all of the, all of the episodes in one row. Like she's just doing all of them. And she watches them on our YouTube channel. And she likes to watch the recaps first and then the interview because she says it helps her pay more attention to the interview. That being said everyone, you can do it your own way. I so we are recording this in the past, in the present time of today, which is today is a Pilates day, and you are gonna get it sometime in a couple of weeks. So this is Pilates day was the first Saturday of May, it's International Pilates day. And Brad and I drove out to LA, stayed at my favorite hotel, we took Bayon with us. And then we did Pilates day as a convo. Class two, because May is not only Mental Health Awareness Month, it's also for support Foster Care Awareness Month, foster youth. And so anyways, if you follow along with OPC, we actually donate a percentage of all of our profits to charities that support foster youth. And there's many reasons for doing this. It's so so important. And there's so many kids who age out of the foster care system and they don't have any support. They don't have any parents or family unit to go to. I mean, at 18 I don't know that I should have just been like out in the world, on my own. So so I'm really grateful to those of you who donated, who came. Thank you so much for those who who donated and couldn't come and that's really amazing. We ... we raised several $100 for foster youth and I also got to meet, you know there was different businesses there that were also selling their amazing pieces and donating parts of all their sales. So I'm sure it was thousands of dollars when we combine everyone's efforts. And so just thank you everyone. That was really a lot of fun. Okay, Clare, welcome back. (Clare: Hi. Thank you.) Clare Solly everyone. She's back.Clare Solly 2:53  I'm back. I'm so excited to be here. And if you are watching the YouTube you're you're witnessing my my lioness mane this morning.Lesley Logan 3:01  I know. I don't know the last time I saw down.Clare Solly 3:05  Yeah, I yeah, I don't I don't know either. But I've got a lot of hair. (Clare laughs)Lesley Logan 3:11  I understand, you and me both. It started off like if you're watching on the YouTube, my hair start on the center of my head, but for whatever reason, it must be the shape of my head. It always falls to the left. Or maybe it's the way I twist the hair. Maybe that's what it is. Anyways that this this is a, we could be a hair commercial. Is really, if you are a hair product company would like some models, the two of us have too much hair we can definitely... (Clare: Totally) So Clare's back, Clare is @youwontbesolly on Instagram. She is one of my best friends. We've known each other since 2001. And she ...Clare Solly 3:45  My friend cuz it's old enough to drink we established on our last show.Lesley Logan 3:49  I know ... in happy hour. And you have been doing several recaps with me stepping in for Brad because Brad has a life and also his own pod company. And he runs all the companies and he was in Cambodia for many weeks. And so too many weeks, actually. So you've been helping me out here. So welcome back.Clare Solly 4:08  Thank you so much. It has been a delight. I mean, first of all, I'll sit around and talk to you forever and ever and ever. But it's also been fun as a listener to go back and hear, you know, Brad's versus my opinions and I like I was actually really impressed by the la... the one that dropped this week that we listened to. (Lesley: Oh yeah) But also it like being a guest is fun to come back of being a guest host is fun. So I think we asked originally on our first one, like if anybody wants to come be a guest, recapist, you know, or if anybody is interested in hearing a guest recapist (Lesley: Yeah) like tell us in in the comments.Lesley Logan 4:43  Yeah, let us know if you're liking guest recaps or if you are missing Brad, it's okay. You won't offend anyone we, you know, inquiring minds want to know, but yeah you (Clare: Yeah) were you were originally, you're episode 19?Clare Solly 4:55  19.Lesley Logan 4:57  Yeah, yeah. So I know I think this one is episode 102. So look where we're at.Clare Solly 5:03  Amazing, amazing. And I think I think I was like one of the first couple that you recorded. So it's, it's been such a journey. So exciting.Lesley Logan 5:11  I know. We ... (Clare: Here's too hundred more.) There's to hundred more at least that's what we're in for. Well, we have so much to talk about with Helaine. But before we do that, do we have a question from the audience? Or are you stealing the show?Clare Solly 5:23  I'm gonna steal the show yet again. Because this is, has been one of my exciting things to do. So I know that you said that you get a lot of business questions, but I think this question actually can help anybody, anybody who has their own business and or whatever. How, so you take fantastic photos. (Lesley: Oh thanks.) You are like, and again, you're one of my best friends. So I like I'm always excited to see your shows. I mean, your your photos. But how do you besides just being stunning. Like, how do you, what are your tips on taking a good picture? Because there are some days when it's like you have not you personally but like me, like there's too much chin. There's the wrong angle. Like, what are your and I know you've worked with photographers and things too. So what are like two or three tips that you can share with anybody on how to be a good model in a picture, (Lesley: Yeah) even if you're taking yourself.Lesley Logan 6:21  Oh, this is so fun. So I do take I do have a lot of professional shots. I have been doing that for a long time for someone who's not an actress I like I feel like knowing you, you're like only personally I knew was taking headshots all the time. And I'm like, "Really you need new headshots again, you need new headshots again?" And now we are doing, in LA I did a photo shoot almost monthly, which was not, I mean it was like every few months actually. And and then and then when I'm now that we're in Vegas, my photographer comes out twice a year. So I do I do, but I just do two hours at a time. So I basically do the same amount of shoots, but just pack them in. So tips, first of all, actually find a photographer that you have like a relationship with or you think you can build one. Like you'd want to be friends with them, because if they don't say anything to you, you don't really, really know what you're doing. And so, so that can be a little difficult. And so I love, my photographer is Monica Linda, of Girl Squad Media. And she is she's really good about ...Clare Solly 7:24  Who is also one of a podcast. (Lesley: Yeah) She was like, back in the teens too, I think.Lesley Logan 7:28  She's back in the teens as well. She has a great Be It story. And she is, it's crazy what she's coming up with. It is insane. She just opened a podcast recording studio, which is yeah, really, (Clare: Wow) really cool. Yeah. So you can, instead of having to sit in your closet, you can just like go to her studio, which is really cool. So I would say first, find a photographer that you like, they might be more expensive than you feel like paying. And I promise you paying less money with a photographer who don't jive with getting photos you can't use is like wasting money. So really get on the phone with them, build a relationship that helps. Second thing is laughing out loud makes great pictures. And people who came on my business retreat as like, "Okay, everyone laugh out loud." And they're like, they're no one made sound. I'm like, "No, you actually have to laugh out loud." (Lesley laughs out loud) Right. And when you do that, firstly, you look at your laughing, second you smile, everything looks brighter, lighter, and more fun. And it's better than just smiling all the time. Like no one wants to see a bunch of photos of you just like, no, no offense, like your friends do, your family does, but really, like you can't really use all of those. So you have to do some different things. And then also, you will start to learn your angles, I'm sure Clare as an actress, even you know, you know that there's angles, and there are some angles that I I have to be very careful. If I am sitting, I need to make sure that I get my head forward of my body. Otherwise, it starts to like everything starts to sink down. And then you know, I don't have any like, like there was like more chin there, just like, I lose, I lose the my facial structure when I do that. Which I think is why people think I'm so stunning. I was like, "I gotta get the head in front." The other thing is, when you're taking pictures, don't just sit there and just take like, let them take the same picture 17 times, you didn't change. So you do little tweaks, right like so you like have your head looking at them one way, then you tilt it another way, then you move your hand from your knee to your other hand or to your shoulder or, you know, so you do these little tiny tweaks so that you can get like 20 different photos in the same situation. Natural lighting to me is way better than artificial lighting. You're just gonna it's hard. I have blue eyes and like getting outside in the sun to get the I have to so I close my eyes and she counts to three and then I open them and then we close my eyes we count to three we open them. So those kinds of things. Know your colors. There are some colors that don't look good on you. It's okay. I don't care how in style they are. Let them go, ditch them. And then also this is really huge. Invest in getting your hair and makeup done, and you're going to hate how much makeup you're wearing, you're not going to love it. In fact, when I'm in real life, I'm like, "We better be going out to a boat party, wedding, something because I look way too dumb to stay at home." But when you get the photos back, you actually don't look too done up, you look really like you actually have depth and dimension. So you have to do your makeup very differently for photos because otherwise if you just it's like we're talking bronzer here, people if you're not wearing it, you'd lose your cheeks. So to basically too long, didn't read get hair and makeup artist and get a photographer that can tell you what to do. Play music. I didn't say this. Play some music that makes you feel like alive you don't have to dance, but like just makes you feel like a party. And then and then wear the colors that look good on you. So you know, I hope that helps.Clare Solly 10:52  So many suggestions. I love this. I love it all. So go back and look at Lesley's feed. Look at the @be_it_pod feed. Comment on those photos. And that you can see these tips in ...Lesley Logan 11:02  It's so fun. You know what's really annoying is that Brad just shows up and there's no hair and makeup and (Lesley laughs) he like there's something guys don't, they don't have to do it all. I don't understand. He looks great without it. But anyways, ladies, I got melasma so I gotta you know put some makeup on. (Clare laughs)Clare Solly 11:19  Oh, so yeah, I mean it's it's fantastic. And and I know you as a business owner, you are the face of your business. So you know you have to take ... but even for amateurs who are taking photos, (Lesley: Oh) it's good to have those tips. It's good to know.Lesley Logan 11:35  Everybody you all need at least a headshot. If you are because they're gonna want it, you're gonna need it, you put it on all of your socials anyways, you're gonna want on LinkedIn, you're gonna want on your resume, you're gonna want it for an interview, you're gonna be on a podcast they gonna ask you for your headshot. So at the very least get a headshot. Everyone needs them. But also it is kind of fun to look back and go, "Oh, what a fun day that was." Or "Oh, I remember that haircut." (Clare: Yeah) Yeah, well, thanks for that question. Y'all, so Clare, keep stealing the questions, but you can actually ask whatever questions do you want? Just go to the @be_it_pod, put it in a comment or DM us and we'll answer it all in the show.Clare Solly 12:11  Fantastic. Yeah. And speaking of the show, we should probably recap Helaine Knapp's episode with you from last week. So (Lesley: Let's do it.) a quick bio about Helaine Knapp. She's the founder and CEO of CITYROW. After spending years of climbing the corporate ladder, Helaine left the world of publishing for tech start-up. Group Fitness was her outlet while she was working hard on the hustle and bustle of New York City (I know it will). Months of spin and bootcamp classes left her with lower back injury. However, she began searching for a workout that was low impact but super effective after a friend suggested rowing, Helaine initially rejected it as something her dad did in college but following a few (Lesley laughs) work workouts on a sexy machine pairing with a total body sculpting moves off the machine changed her mind and the concept for CITYROW was born. That and CITYROW has this mission of delivering a fun, smart, effective workout of all to all fitness levels. And it has grown from CITYROW has grown from one studio in New York City to a national omnichannel fitness brand. She's she's amazing.Lesley Logan 13:16  She's amazing. She's so fun.Clare Solly 13:18  ... I this was I think I'd say this every time. But this was one of my favorite episodes that I got to listen to. So I'm so excited I get to talk about this with you. Then, speaking of what was one of your favorite things that you talked about with her?Lesley Logan 13:34  Oh, I'm so excited. And also so as Bayon that's the chain you're hearing in the background. He's just letting us know he's excited too. You know, I heard her another pod as I mentioned on on the podcast's interview and I just really thought what a be it till you see it story like way a just... I mean y'all she's not a fitness instructor and she started a fitness business. And I think that's, I can't stress enough how important that is for you to, to know. And that's what like leads into my thing that I love that she said which like, "Building CITYROW based on a personal need." And so like, I think we often think we have to be the expert at something like some of us have ideas and we think, "Oh, I have to go get that training or this training, that I need this training. And then I need to do these. I need to get all those photos that go along with it." Like we build up the the the opportunity to do something so much that it takes decades to create the thing. And really, she just was like, "I have this idea. Let me find someone who can teach the class that I want to take, and let me build the business of the place I want to go." And so if you have a problem, maybe you can team up with people who can help you solve that problem. And so then you'll love your thing so much. You can't help but sell it. I just think, it's I think it was genius.Yeah, that was that was really great. And she also mentioned like, yeah, well to kind of piggyback on that, surrounding yourself with people and just building on that. Yeah, I mean like building on the idea because yeah, you know, you are, you live in your little pocket of the world. And Lesley you know this very well, because I've seen you do it multiple times, you live in your little pocket of the world. And then you can find people who also have, who also have the drive that have similar or different linking experiences. And so you can can build something (Lesley: Yeah) within that. I love that sense of community that turns into a business.Yeah. And I think like, you know, did you watch WeCrashed? They didn't sponsor the show everyone, so don't go like saying, "Thanks." But did you watch the series?Clare Solly 15:41  I didn't.Lesley Logan 15:42  Okay, let me just tell you. That you can listen to the podcast every one on like one half speed and get the whole gist of it. You don't have to actually watch so but I will say Anne Hathaway did do a frickin amazing job. She really was made for that role. And I don't know that that's a compliment. But it should be. But I mean it to be. But at any rate, the first episode is like about him, like, trying to sell heels that like can turn into flats. And like, almost cut off, like his sister's hand when she's trying to like make the heel because like, you know, like ladies are walking around in New York City, you can walk on your heels. So like, you could like turn the heel, one way, then you can walk on the shoe like a flat, you could pop it out. And then he was creating these like knee pads for babies like so close, it had knee and elbow pads and for babies, but he wasn't passionate about any of those things, he was just thinking, "There's a hole in the market, or there's this thing I can create, I'm going to create, it's gonna make a lot of money." And the reality is, is that you have to actually care about what it is that you're creating, in some way it has to affect your life or someone else that you like, love and trust. Otherwise, you're just going to show up and it's going to be like selling paint on a wall. It's like, Yeah, this is nice, you know, and, and wallpaper is nice, but you don't have to build it. So I really, I think it just goes back to like, create things based on your personal needs, or someone you know, that you really care about. And you're going to feel a lot more unstoppable when the obstacles come your way. So what is something you love, she said?Clare Solly 17:09  I loved like the there's like this is kind of a two parter, like working out for the body's health and longevity. And just do one thing, and just keep doing it. I find it hysterical that you are one of my best friends. And you are so into working out. And I am so into sitting around and not. (Lesley laughs) And and I have a couple of friends who are in the fitness industry who are my closest friends. And I'm like, "No, but really, can we just sit and talk?" (Clare laughs)Lesley Logan 17:44  You got a friend who's a spin instructor or you've got friends who do these things. And like, you're like, and we're like, "Hey, let's go" and you're like, "Yeah, let's just hang here."Clare Solly 17:54  Well, and a couple of years ago, we talked about this a little bit, or you mentioned it before on the pod. We had a blog that's now like defunct, and we had talked about trying to we had this idea where we were we were giving challenges and I was like, "I know I need to make a change in my life. I know I need to work out more" because I like to move. I just like to do it in a way that doesn't feel like I'm working out and sweating and like whatever. So I started doing two sun salutations a day, because I could commit to doing two sun salutations. (Lesley: Yeah) Because I could do them while my coffee pot was like brewing. So I'd get up, have a glass of water, set the coffee to brew, go to the living room and do 10, two sun salutations, which takes like two, three minutes, depending on how deep I'm going and how long ...Lesley Logan 18:40  Yeah, if you're going by breath, or if you're just like going through ...Clare Solly 18:43  And some days, like my body was just like do the movements and be done. And some days I was like, "I want to hold this stretch, and I want to do this." And it I could feel a difference when I was doing it. And when I was not doing it like I would have some days where I'd be like, "Ah, I don't really do need to do it. Doesn't make that much difference." And it does. And (Lesley: It does.) like it was weird because like, I I knew that when I hadn't done them for a couple of days. I was going to hurt myself a couple days later because it's that was the cycle. (Lesley: Oh yeah) And so it's like my body's health was or my body was appreciating just those couple of minutes of care I was giving it. And even though it was only a couple and sometimes, like and again, I would go to a spin class like once a week or I'd go you know do some other seven. I'm live in New York, I walk constantly. (Lesley: Yeah) But those two sun salutations and committing to those has been such a change. And you know ...Lesley Logan 19:43  Are you still doing them this many years later? (Clare: I am.) That's amazing.Clare Solly 19:47  I am. I think it's been four or five years. I get up every morning and and I fallen off the wagon like I (Lesley: Yeah) you know. You know we all know that little little pandemic happened and so you know, depression, whatever, but ...Lesley Logan 20:00  ... that little thing. (Lesley laughs)But it's amazing. And sometimes like, I'll hurt myself or it's my, you know, women's cycle of the month, things like that. So it's like you're not supposed to do inversions when you're on your period. And so like, but I'll, I'll, I won't necessarily do down dog, but I'll still do or no up dog. Well, I can't remember. (Lesley: Yeah) Whatever the one where your butts in there, (Lesley: That's a down dog. Yeah.) Down dog, great. I can't remember. (Clare laughs) But I'll do I'll do the stretches. And I'll do like, I'll find myself like doing plank and some months, I'll challenge myself and like, "Hey, let's see how long we can hold plank for and then hold it for 10 seconds longer tomorrow." And (Lesley: That's ...) I got up to like, three minutes in plank.Are you serious? That's insane. Yeah, I am at a two minute handstand, by the way. (Clare: Oh wow!) Yeah. Yeah. And that's after taking, like, I think I took six months off of yoga and not for any reason. To be honest, I love my teachers, I have two teachers I frickin love and both their classes are at sucky times. So one guy, he's on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which may be now on Tuesdays, I'll get back into because that would be a nice way to end the day. I just happen to have happy hour at that time. So it would just be it just became a little weird Brad and I are doing happy hour, like zoom class, doing yoga. And I'm in a little sip anyways, don't anyone needs no one needs to tell me the how I shouldn't be drinking while I'm doing my yoga. But at any rate, I picked it back up probably six weeks ago. And I you know, it was amazing. I could still do the minute long handstand. And then he was like, "Okay, we're doing two minutes in the second week." I was like, "Two minutes, I just came back to the five, I'm surprising to do one minute." But your body does have this incredible memory. If you're really consistent with something you can get it, you can get back into it pretty well. And I want to just talk about something you mentioned, you're doing 2, and you committed 2 and sometimes you do a plank hold or sometimes you just do a different stretch. All of those little additions are things that BJ Fogg says, "You'll know when you can start to expand that. When you can start to like, make it five sun salutations or two sun salutations and a hip stretch." And it's also okay, if one day you just go to the two sun salutations, because the habit is actually just the two sun salutations. Everything else is extra credit. So,Clare Solly 22:08  Yeah. And it's it's the commitment to it too. Like I actually, I, when I'm on vacation, or things like that, like I'll like I would not do them on vacations originally. And now I just excuse myself, because that two minutes, that five minutes, whatever that is that I give myself is worth it.Lesley Logan 22:34  Well, yeah, it really is. And so, you know, I've been doing morning pages, and I too fell off the wagon with those with the little pandemic. Because I my excuse was, it's so freakin hot in the morning, I have to get outside and walk the dogs, because every minute I'm sitting there, it's just baking the asphalt more. But the reality is, is that I have to do my morning pages. So I'm just going to have to go to bed a little earlier or wake up earlier and make sure make room for a nap later in the day like those are because I, like you I don't get injured, I get pissed off. And it's because I didn't put the things that are pissing me off on a piece of paper and I kept them inside. And so anyways, back to Helaine and your takeaway, I really am glad you picked that one out. Because I do think people think, "Oh my gosh, like, I have to go to a 30 minute class or I have to go to an hour long thing." And you can just pick one thing and like you said, and just do that.Clare Solly 23:28  Yeah, well, and this is and again, not to like do a spot for you. But like, this is one of the reasons I love OPC. Like, I'm an OPC member. And sometimes I'll turn it on for like five minutes. And I just only do five minutes of Pilates. Like is that the right thing to do? Well, I mean ...Lesley Logan 23:45  It's exactly. (clare: I do 5 minutes, 5 minutes is better than nothing.) It's exactly right for you. (Clare: Yeah) And it's also why we say, "Finishing is optional." (Clare laughs)Clare Solly 23:53  Yeah. Sometimes I do the whole thing, and it seems like no time has gone by. Sometimes I'm like, "Nah, I'm good with five minutes."Lesley Logan 24:01  I know I um, I can always tell my energy level when I'm at my workout with my trainer. And if she ends 20 minutes early, and I'm like, "Ah, 20 minutes early." I mean, not that early. Like we did the workout. Right? But if I if I like or the other day I went and I was so grateful it ended after just the one workout that she created. I was like, "Okay, we're stretching. Okay, good. I can do that." I was like, I was like, "Oh, yes." I can always tell like where my body's energy is at and like if I need if I like when she's one of the stretching habits if I wanted more if I had like so grateful that we're stretching. Yeah, finishing is optional everyone, intentional movement is important. And just pick one thing and do that. Okay.Clare Solly 24:41  Yeah. (Lesley: All right, Clare.) We move on to the BE IT action item?Lesley Logan 24:46  Let's do it. Let's recap what's what's your, let's go into the BE IT action items that she gave us.Clare Solly 24:50  Yeah, so um, I the bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action item that I really liked. And I sort of said this before is surround the people or surround yourself with people on the same journey as you. Which I think I mean, yes, definitely surround yourself with people that are similar. But and you've said this several times, like surround yourself with people who are different, but have the same motivation, like the that are going towards the same direction or want the same thing. Like you mentioned, the the, the, the we work thing earlier, and the how the guy was making all these different products. And it's like, well, what's his goal, that those were not aligned with his goal? (Lesley: Yeah) So therefore, they weren't successful? And like, what is your goal? What are you aiming towards it? Even if it seems like something that is totally not connected. And I think we talked about this on my episode of the podcast, like, this is the manifesting piece, right? This is like, what do you want from your life, and how, and then you'll find the map to get there. And you said, you surround yourself with those people, and connect yourself with those people that can help you either motivate you or share in that directional pole pointing to get you to that. (Lesley: Yeah) And she ... people.Lesley Logan 26:15  I, well, I couldn't agree more. And also, like, it's, the other people have had BE IT action items like, like, make sure you're like, you're you have, like, you know, the pre... people, positive people around you. And like, Brad and I work together, and we do a lot of masterminds. But we, that are and we work really great, we can find really great collabs. But very few of those people work with their, with their partner. So we actually have to be intentional about finding other couples working together. Because they get us on a different level. And so there's something about like, I can, for example, I was in LA yesterday, and we were visiting with some people, none of whom worked work work for themselves. So of course, they don't get when I say like, "Oh, we've got a launch coming up that's when we get back." They're like, "Oh, I wish you could stay." It's like, hmm, you clearly have no idea how many parts go into a launch and how much time that isn't much brain space it is. And so but when I say to a friend on a text message, who is an entrepreneur like, "Oh, yeah, we're on our way back, we have a launch kicking off in a few days." She's like, Oh my gosh, get some sleep. Make sure you're drinking lots of water." Like so when you surround yourself with people are on the same journey. There's almost like, you have almost like your own special code of language, and so they can get you on a deeper level. And also keep you up and make you excited about things when you're down. So yeah, I ...A slingshot friend.A slingshot friend like Clare is. Yes, yes. I'm glad you brought that one up. I feel like that one is hard for people to do. They have a hard time because they think they have to let go of other people.Clare Solly 27:52  Yeah, but I mean, you don't and that and again it it doesn't even have to be they don't have to have the same goal again, it's just sort of the same direction. Like, "What do you want out of life?" Like you and I both want fulfillment from our our endeavors. Right? And, and . It's not it's not a house. I mean, yes, those things come along with that. But it's like, we want to continually to be excited and fulfilled by the things that we we do with our lives.Lesley Logan 28:25  Yeah, yeah. No, it's true. It's it doesn't have to be like you don't have to find an, if you're a fitness or more fitness people. You could just it could be someone who also is trying to build something and create community and similar directions in life. I love that.Clare Solly 28:40  What was one for you?Lesley Logan 28:41  I loved get to know yourself. I think we've had similar versions of this come up before and I picked it anyways because I really don't think a lot of people spend enough time getting to know themselves. And there's so many different ways you can get to know yourself for example, yesterday I had an oracle card and tarot card reading. And that was very fascinating and was actually really fascinating how much she like, 'knew about me without knowing me.' I was like, "What is this? How do you know that?" But you don't have to get those kinds of readings to get to know yourself. There's just, you can get know to yourself in different ways. But you have to understand like, why are you getting frustrated about that? Why are you afraid of that? What is this thing that is making you you know, snap or or not believe in yourself or not get out of bed? And you know, like not go 5 4 3 2 1 in action. Like what it like get to know yourself because then only then can you actually build a life, like you said a fulfillment or alignment. You know, if you hate the mornings, why do you hate the mornings? Is it that you're not a morning person? Or is it you're going to bed at 1am and that you're asking yourself to get up at 6am. Like, actually get to know yourself so you can actually take steps in the direction of of creating the life that you want to live or being it till you see it. And so I just I think, I think getting to know yourself is a lifelong journey.Clare Solly 30:08  If you're into the woowoo, like I am, I know Brad is not and Lesley you're like a medium woo. (Clare laughs) A lot of a lot of the woowoo folks are talking about shadow work right now, which is like if you see that shadow work means just what you were saying. Like it means think through the stuff in your past, or the things that you don't like or the triggers for yourself. I actually had one coach that was like, anytime you have an accident, you trip, you run into something, you bump into something that's like to like, have you realign with a whatever that that thought was.Lesley Logan 30:44  Oh, my gosh, so when you fell on the sidewalk, and you like knocked yourself.Clare Solly 30:48  I, yeah, exactly. Well, and I again, I sat around trying to, like, heal for I don't know, why did air quotes, like heal from that not just physically, but like, what was I thinking at the time and what I was saying I was worried about my work and how I like that different. Like, I had just gotten back from vacation. And I was, I still had like two days before I had to go back to work. And I was like, my mind was racing about all these different pieces. And I think it was like, "No, no, you have to let stuff go."Lesley Logan 31:19  Interesting. That's so interesting that you bring that up, I didn't know that tripping and falling can be part of that shadow work or that part of like, getting you back in alignment. That's so fascinating.Clare Solly 31:30  And it doesn't even have to be as anything as big as my fault. Like, I my stationary bikes, it's in my tiny, tiny apartment and I run into the handle all the time. And I know I can go out and around. But I bump into it. I'm like, "Okay, what was I just thinking? I was thinking negative." And a lot of times it's negativity about myself, (Lesley: Oh) like, I'm not good enough. Or I'm like, I'm not, I haven't made the time. Like, I haven't not. Yeah, I haven't made the time for it. And it's like, well, no things come in the time that they're meant to, or things will happen in the time that they're meant to. And and yeah, it's the the more you deal with the icky stuff, like I am not a morning person. And it's, it's because I find more creativity at night. (Lesley: Yeah) And part of it is you know, I'd like I have an acting background, I do theater. Theater is mostly at night in the evenings. (Lesley: Yeah) I'm sort of geared to that. And again, my creative time, I'll get sleepy around like, 8 to 8:30 and then 9 to 11. I am super creative and super focused. And I find so much writing time in that in those.Lesley Logan 32:37  Did you get to a little nap hour in there? Yeah, but so I you know, I just think we, I, I downloaded a book called Astrology and the Kundalini Rising, because apparently, I'm entering my Uranus opposite Uranus time. And so I know I am a medium woo, but I'm going in. Because this is very interesting. There's some interesting stuff that they have, you know, discovered. It's not like a roadmap, but it is a roadmap. And it's again, just about getting to know yourself. If you find yourself complaining about the same thing. Write about it, and (Clare: Yeah) ask yourself. We had a guest Thor, who's like, talk about morning pages as well. He'll write about it. He's like, "Who... I can't do that. Who says I can't do that?" Oh, (Clare: Yeah) "I say I can't." Like get to know yourself because it really is the key to unlocking a lot of things. We tell ourselves some incredible stories. When people (Clare: Yeah) tell me a storyteller, I'm like, "I bet you tell yourself some whoppers." Just ...Clare Solly 33:34  There's an Ashton Kutcher quote that "We all sit around on a pile of collective stories." I think it's Ashtron that like ...Lesley Logan 33:44  I never thought we would quote Ashton Kutcher on this podcast. So, thank you. (Lesley and Clare laughs)Clare Solly 33:49  There's a first. It was it was one of those like, I was reading a book and like it was the top of the chapter and I was like, "Of all people." But yeah, like it's just a pile of collective stories, y'all. Like (Lesley: Yeah) so you can weed out the ones like our memory is selective like there are things about our like, we have a collective past and I don't you'll you'll remember things that I don't like and and I don't remember things that you know, or I remember things that you don't (Lesley: Yeah) And it's again, we can weed anything out. We our brains are wired that way to keep us safe and ...Lesley Logan 34:29  ... and also tell yourself a different story about the thing because (Clare: Yeah) you can also like I could talk about how like, "Oh, I wish like I had a terrible childhood whatever blah blah." And then I can also say, "You know I had the exact childhood though set me up to be this person that I am because I wouldn't be this peer. I didn't have that childhood. So like it kind of benefit the hell out of me. So maybe I can read..." You know what I mean? Like we could actually like you know, you can as you said you can weed it out or you can change it.Clare Solly 34:54  Yeah, see that see the light side of the the see the positivity in something. (Lesley: Yeah) And don't be afraid to go deep into the stuff that that is ne... that feels negative because there's positivity in there too.Lesley Logan 35:06  Oh, for sure that is, that's good that's another BE IT action item and we can put on there go into that, go into the, go in there. Do you remember that? We'll talk about this offline but there was that movie where he had to like Robin Williams had to go into like ...Clare Solly 35:20  A what the ... What Dreams May Come?Lesley Logan 35:22  Yes. And he did like go in there and they had to like weed it out, like a weed it out to get her out of there. (Clare: Yeah) It was ... chills deep.

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 guests 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.Brad Crowell  Welcome back.Lesley Logan  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 delightful convo I had with Katie Miller-Kerner in our last episode. If you haven't listened to that episode yet, then you know that I actually - you don't know that I screwed her name up, so that's really fun... Surprise! I said it wrong in the first one. But, if you want to go back and listen to that one hear how I say her name incorrectly, here she says it correctly and then come back to this one where we're gonna say it correctly. Katie Miller-Kerner is here. We're doing the recap with her... with her episode today. Do the listening in whichever order you find freeing. That's what we're here about. So here's what I'm excited about right now, babe... (Brad: Tell me!) This week. Y'all it is like, you know, it's the end of summer vibes we are going into that, like, you know, back to school. I don't even know kids go back to school at the oddest times, I went back to school in July, so welcome to year round. But I just love this season of change. And if you're my Aussies, I hear you. I know, it's springtime na na, whatever. Anyways, I just... wherever you live, there's a transition that's about to happen. We're about to go into that last third of the year and it is really, really fun. We are getting ready for our 100WITHME challenge. And...Brad Crowell  Yeah, we got that coming up.Lesley Logan  It's coming up. It's coming up really quick. And so what this challenge is all about, why I love it so much is, if you are struggling to make consistency a thing with anything, then I want you to join me because we actually focus on being consistent around our Pilates practice and if you're like, "Girl, I don't do Pilates." Whatever, come do it anyways, and use it as a way to learn how to be consistent. So that's how I'm excited about because end of summer means it's almost fall, which means it's almost time to hang out with a bunch of you for a month and work on consistency. I don't know, what are you excited about right now, babe?Lesley Logan  Well, I was gonna say if you're interested in more about that, we got a waitlist going on, just go to 100withme.comLesley Logan  Oh, check us out. (Brad: Ooooh!) 100withme.com, it's called that because I believe you must give a 100% to yourself first so you can do more for others. And so we're gonna do a 100 with me, right? Like we're doing it together, or just give a 100% to ourselves together. (Brad laughs) Anyways, it's also why this podcast exists. It's like literally like, "How many different ways can I get you to fill your cup first?"Brad Crowell  Yeah, I'm in, I love it. (Lesley: All right, so...) Speaking of filling our cup first, (Lesley: Right? ...) The question this week was, "Why do we have three dogs? And did we think that was a good idea?" Which has nothing to do with filling our cup first, but... Lesley Logan  We fill our cups in other ways. This is, okay. So I take full responsibility for us overwhelming ourselves with three dogs. I do think I championed that cause of getting a third dog. Um....Brad Crowell  That's interesting. I think you also championed the cause of the second dog.Lesley Logan  I totally championed the cause of the second dog. And I think that was a great idea, actually...Brad Crowell  And here's what's insane. We currently have four.Lesley Logan  I know! Y'all, there's four dogs in this house. (Brad laughs) And, and the fourth dog is twice the size of any one of our dogs. So (Brad: Yes), it's like having five. Um, but....Brad Crowell  He's a he's a temporary guest. It's their brother's dog and he's moving. So we've got him to make life easier for him for a little bit, but maybe only for another week, I think. But it's...Lesley Logan  Oh Babe! Babe, you're in denial. I think he's forgotten... My brother works graveyard. And (Brad: Ah) so he will be doing four 10's which means that we will have his dog four 10's of every week. But our dogs it's like...Brad Crowell  I mean they're besties there there couldn't be. It's such an awesome...Lesley Logan  I mean, they are in love with each (Brad: ...pack) other. They are a little pack. They're so fun. But so let's go back to the three dogs because we definitely would, would, here the, here's a side note four is easier. So...Brad Crowell  Four is actually easier. It's weird.Lesley Logan  There is either when you hear people have like multiple kids like how do they do that because at some point, they just start taking care of themselves. So, I totally understand that now...Brad Crowell  They entertain themselves.Lesley Logan  They really do so (Brad: Yeah) the reason, so I champion the second dog because I actually thought - which is Bayon - because Gaia was like, just such a sad face every time I walked in the house and she would not move from the bed, she would... I would come... I came, I came and went into our apartment all the time and she would just be in the same spot the bed for 10 hours. And I'm like, that is not healthy. She needs a buddy. (Brad laughs) She needs a buddy! (Brad: Yeah) So I made us get a dog. And she didn't care about it. And (Brad: Yeah) in fact, it didn't change her M.O. but...Brad Crowell  I mean we did get a puppy and she was six, so she was like, "Oh, my God, this little dog. Errr..."Lesley Logan  Yeah. So and then, when we moved to Vegas, I forgot that she was only a few years older than Bayon, because we decided that she was 12 and dying. And we're like, well, Bayon he need a buddy. So (Brad and Lesley laughs) so I was like, "Oh my god, it's gonna be so depressing when she dies, you should get a third dog." So that Bayon isn't lonely. And um...Brad Crowell  And then I looked up her birthday...Lesley Logan  After we adopted the third dog. And...Brad Crowell  And she's only 10 (Lesley: She's only 10.) So (Lesley: and then) she's gonna be here for a long time.Lesley Logan  And then, the vet said the other day, she's got a lot of life in her and I was like, "How much?" (Brad and Lesley laughs) She said, "A lot!" So in all with, like, look, we love them all. They're amazing. (Brad: Yeah.) And they're challenging in their own ways. But um, do I did I think it was a good idea in in like, my mind of what it is? And now that it's actually been a year since we've had August, August is our third. He's our baby and he knows it. You know that they have their own rhythm and they make me laugh. And they also make me frustrated. And so...Brad Crowell  It's a good learning experience.Lesley Logan  We, we don't need kids, we have them. They have four legs, and (Brad: we got 12 legs to deal with.) Yeah, so anyways, um, if you're thinking about getting a third dog, you know what? I am not here to tell you otherwise, like, you'd have to make the decision for yourself. We happen to live and work from home so it actually works really well for us.Brad Crowell  YeahLesley Logan  Yeah!Brad Crowell  Amazing!Lesley Logan  Okay.Lesley Logan  WellBrad Crowell  OkayLesley Logan  What's next?Brad Crowell  Okay. Now let's talk about Katie Miller-Kerner.Lesley Logan  Wohoo! Katie Miller-Kerner.Brad Crowell  All right. Katie Miller-Kerner is a former competitive bodybuilder and bikini model turned self-love life coach and clinical hypnotist. (Lesley: I mean...) That's no joke like so she went back and like, got... did a whole bunch of certifications to like, literally, you know, change her career path. She works with people to level up their self talk, their vision for themselves, and she digs into the energy behind their entrepreneurial drive. She is an intentional manifester, and is a bubble of positive energy.Lesley Logan  You know, I love that we got two manifesters on a row. I feel like that is super awesome for those of you who are like, all in on the manifestation you're like, "Yeah, yeah". And then those are like, "What's this?" (Brad: Yeah) You know like, "I don't know". And then you got hit again. And you're like, "Okay, maybe a little bit". (Brad and Lesley laughs)Lesley Logan  Okay, so here's...Brad Crowell  I think that definitely was me.Lesley Logan  Yeah, Brad... So yeah, well, especially because so many of these interviews, we, I was Being It Till We See it in a big way. Like, I was like, I was interviewing like crazy before this podcast was ever even made. And then Brad put the interview episodes in an order and gave people a date. So that was him. Totally him (Brad: It's true) um....Brad Crowell  Did it to myself.Lesley Logan  Yeah. Okay, so here's what I loved about our interview. There's a lot, she's such a lovely human being. I'm so, it's one of those random, I would never have met her had I not been in this room that I was in. So going back to last week it's like, go be in the rooms, like go to the thing and things will come to you because I really was looking for more friendships and more people who understood what I was doing in my life. And I went to the room and I got those friends. And she's one of them. And she talked about changing your neural pathways. And that can sound really scientific and like really like, "Whoo, what does that mean?" Like, "How do I do that?" You don't need surgery for it. This is actually so at least you can do.Brad Crowell  I think this is probably the most logical thing that she said. (Lesley: Well...) To be quite honestLesley Logan  Yeah, but like, you know, well...Brad Crowell  This is like science based. (Lesley: Yeah) I mean, I guess I don't know if manifestation is science based. I'm sure there's theory behind it. But this is like how your brain works.Lesley Logan  If there's science behind manifestation, manifestation, send it to us. We'd love to read it. But this is science based, and it is something you can do and it and it's, you know, so simple like the way she does it. So I really enjoyed it, because I feel like any one of us could do it or at least hire her to help us do it. So...Brad Crowell  Well, she talks about how, so this, this is where she was talking about hypnosis.Lesley Logan  Yeah. (Brad: Right) I have not... you, you have, we have a friend who is also hypnotist. (Brad: Yeah, and...) And I've never done it.Brad Crowell  I've also never done it. But what she was describing is basically that it is not this, like, you know, TV, you know, like, you know, magic based, like, make someone do weird things kind of a thing. That's not what, that's not what is happening with what she's doing. The, she's essentially putting you in a s... in a mental state through hypnosis, where it is easier for you to change neural pathways, which we all know about habits and, you know, just repetition and life... "Can't teach an old dog new tricks," all that kind of an idea, that mentality, it becomes a groove in your brain literal groove in your brain. This is my response, this is how I respond, this is what I do. When this happens, bam, this is what I do. Right? And that is a neural pathway. And so she talks about how, by using hypnosis, she can help adjust or change or derail those neural pathways to help you make positive changes in your life.Lesley Logan  Yeah, well, and we, you know, and we've had guest speakers on our, in our other programs before, and it is, your brain is like, it just likes to do things the easiest way. And so if you... every time someone says something to you about something you've like, created that groove, you get there faster and faster every time. It's why, (Brad: sure) when like, I can totally tell that I'm in some grooves... Like, when something doesn't go the way I want, like the groove of being upset and frustrated and feel like why is this happening to me can be really fast. (Brad: Yeah) It's like a speed, I'm like a speed train. And a stop that speed train and have a different pathway is like trying to create... we talked about this a couple weeks ago, like trying to walk and create a new path. And so she actually just helps you do it. And it sounds like it's faster with her route than like trying to manually groove your own path.Brad Crowell  Yeah, I mean, I've never done hypnosis. I don't know. But, but, that was, I thought that was really curious. So...Lesley Logan  Maybe we'll do it, maybe we'll have to just do it on a pod.Brad Crowell  I mean, that would be interesting.Lesley Logan  I don't even know how we... Okay, don't hold us to it, but I'll look into it. (Brad: Okay) All right. What did you like?Brad Crowell  Alright, so she was talking about kind of making that change that transition in her career from being on this trajectory that was, you know, easy for her in the sense of it was innate, right. She, she had natural abilities, when it came to bodybuilding and being consistent and doing the modeling thing, like she's, you know, like she said, sports always came easy to her, all that kind of stuff. And then she decided, I need to move on, I need a change from this. And she talks about that transition. And, and, and what she said was learning, learning from the journey was, was part of who she is today. Right? And I know, you two are going back and forth. And you tell the story about the kid who pulled the string and moved ahead, you know, in life, whatever. But he, she was talking about, you know, she kind of had to take a step out, so that she could start a... start again, and that momentum that you have when you're like, you know, heavy competitor. And then you're like putting the brakes on, starting over. Like you miss that you miss that endorphins, you miss that, that competition, that spirit, that drive. Right? And so I feel like that was probably challenging for her. And then, but, she said that the life transition itself, it was so key in developing who she is today, so to embrace that change to learn from the journey. Right? Enjoy the journey. So yeah, anyway, I thought that was a... I liked, I liked what she was talking about there, because I think that it's applicable to so many of us, especially with COVID happening, recently hijacking, derailing, you know, in some cases threatening the life that you know.Lesley Logan  Well, and, you know, there's, there is a study that talks about, like 70% of Americans so I don't know, for the country you're living in, like, you might, hopefully someone's done a study. But, 70% of Americans are going to change their career, like literally change it - not switch jobs - change their career, within two years, and that was from four months ago. So we're like, almost a year and a half and like, that means all these (Brad: everything's shifting) everything. And we shifted like, we did have a lot... And I think, (Brad: we totally did) you know, I think it's, um, I think it's really hard to do that. And I why the reason I wanted to have her as a guest house as well was like, she went from a bodybuilding competition person and coach of that to being a hypnotist of like, how do I help these people make their life's work happen? And I wanted to have her on because like, I know that you might be sitting there going, how do I go from being an accountant, to be like a retreat host, or how do (Brad: right) I go from being a stay at home mom to like running my own business? Like, I wanted you to see someone who like literally did something... like, that's not, that those two... you don't go "Okay first I do competitions, then I help you with competition, then I hypnotize people and then... ... that they can do things." Like, you don't....Brad Crowell  That's the next natural step! Not so much....Lesley Logan  It's not so much. And I think it's just really important that we know that life is not linear. (Brad: Yeah.) And like, I don't know, who told us all that. But like, we really have to like, we have to get off that gravy train. That's what I'm saying. I'm gluten free. So I'm already off of it. And...Brad Crowell  Oh that's a bummer. I love gravy.Brad Crowell  All right. So finally, let's talk about the Be It action items. (Lesley: Yeah) What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Katie Miller-Kerner? And we're gonna do a little different today. Because I think this is more one kind of big conversation instead of a bunch of little takeaways. So I'm gonna let you jump in.Lesley Logan  Okay, so first, we're going to write down a short term and long term goal that you have. So (Brad: yeah), something you want now and something you want later.Brad Crowell  And then what she said, which I thought was was interesting, because this comes back to like, manifestation. And also, hypnosis is asking, like looking at the two things that you just wrote down. One short term, one long term goal, asking yourself, "Do I believe that I can have these things? Do I believe that I can have these things?" You know, and...Lesley Logan  We did this recently.Brad Crowell  Yeah, we did this recently. And we talked about how it's a little scary. To dream really big.Lesley Logan  We dreamed really big. And I was like, "Yes!" And my body like lit up everywhere. And like, I was like, "Alright, that's happening." And you know, let's go. And he were like, "Oh, that's actually really scary."Brad Crowell  Yeah, for me, there was fear associated with that. Which is crazy!Lesley Logan  So, do it... you... do I believe I can have this, and then does your body tense up anywhere?Brad Crowell  Right. So the next question she asked was looking at those two goals? Does your body tense up anywhere? And then she asked, she said, to write down the thoughts or beliefs that come up, surrounding that tension? (Lesley: Yeah.) And then presumably, that it's, presumably it's a negative association. And she said, "You need to invalidate that belief."Lesley Logan  That's so powerful, like because I'm, I think so often we're looking for other people to invalidate beliefs, like we're like, you know, seeking out, you know, compliments or like affirmations. Or, like, you know, oh, this happened and you you're like, almost sometimes like, one, maybe this is just me, maybe I'm just like, talking about myself. But like, you know, you're kind of worried about something and you're kind of seeking for someone to invalidate what you're worried about for you. But oftentimes, they just validate it, which is like never good thing. And I love this because she's asking you to invalidate the negative belief that you have around the thing that you want.Brad Crowell  Yeah. And I let's, let's actually get an example in here. So so you were talking about, you know, someone who's an accountant who wants to, you know, whatever, what do you say become a Pilates instructor?Lesley Logan  No, I said, you want to lead a retreat?Brad Crowell  Lead a retreat. Right. So...Lesley Logan  No, I know not everyone listen to this does want to help Pilates instructor. (Brad: Okay) Not trying to convert them.Brad Crowell  It just was pulling the example from before. So, lead a retreat, love it. So, you know, do I believe I can have this? I know, years back when we were, you know, brainstorming, the idea of leading retreat seemed like, ridiculously far fetched and to, like, have somebody you know, to ask someone to pay us thousands of dollars to join us on a trip somewhere, was like, it just felt outrageous, right? And when when I thought about it, then I remember thinking like, we're not famous, how are we ever going to ask people for that kind of a thing? You know? And does my body tense up anywhere? Yeah, kind of tensed up in my, in, like, my gut and my heart a little bit, right. You know, and like, my, I like, kind of around my eyes, like, where my where my, my mind is. And, and what are those thoughts or beliefs that just came up? I just said them, we're not famous, you know, and so they're like, how are we going to be able to ask people to pay us? You know, and, and... write those down. Right? And then, invalidate those beliefs. Do you actually have to be famous to lead people on a retreat? (Lesley: No) No, who told me that where did that story come from? I don't know. That's such a weird thing to say. It's just this weird, like, preconception that I pulled out of nowhere, you know. And then, asking people to pay us, you know, has been, it started off being this weird thing where it was like, you know, like, "Okay, you got to pay us like, like $1500 dollars." Right? And, and the reality is like, we were barely making the retreat happen by asking for only $1500 dollars, let alone turning it into something that was paying us as well. Right? And, and I think that, that, that one took a little longer for me. Because, what I realized was that people weren't there counting the $1500 dollars... pennies of it. And being like, you only gave me 1497 worth of value. No, the value for them was exponentially more than $1500. They were like, "This was a life altering, mind blowing experience. I can't wait to go home and tell all my friends and family!" You know... and then, all of the sudden, I was like, "Wow! I am I'm going about this all the wrong way." I'm like, stuck on this money situation, right? So again, invalidating that, that... people aren't in it for the $1500 dollars. They're in it to experience this retreat, this life changing experience, this event. (Lesley: Yeah) And so...Lesley Logan  So if you're an accountant wanting to lead a retreat, it's, you know, it's you got to just think about, like, you got to picture yourself on the retreat with the people. And you're, it's the last day, and you're hugging them, and you're doing these things and, and you just have to like, I bet only good stuff is going to come up. And then if anything negative comes up, that's if you want to invalidate because that (Brad: yeah, write it down) story that's like playing out in your head. (Brad: Yeah) You know, and just so you know, people came on our retreat, they are no longer $1500 dollars, we can't wait to start them back up again. (Brad: It's true.) They are going to be "Be It retreats" for sure. And they are going to have so much epic stuff. But I really love this. I think this is something people can do like daily, like if you like come up with it, (Brad: Yeah) like, "Oh, I want to do this." Okay, do you believe you can have this? (Brad: Yeah.) Where's your body tensing up? Write down the thoughts and beliefs that came up and then invalidate the negative ones. Boom! (Brad: Yeah) Like, that's so... what a great little skill set to have in your back pocket.Brad Crowell  I mean, that that is like very tangible. Like you can do that action item. So I thought that was amazing. And I'm really happy that she shared that, those tips with us.Lesley Logan  Yeah, I am. I really love this. I loved her interview. Thanks for doing this with me, babe. Alright everyone, I'm Lesley Logan. (Brad: And I'm Brad Crowell.) Thank you so much for joining us today. We are so grateful to have you here. How you're going to use these tips in your life?

Thanks to the international tourism industry most people are familiar with the spectacular ruins of Angkor, the great Cambodian empire that lasted from about the 9th to the early 15th century. We are especially familiar with those haunting images of the face of King Jayavarman VII, represented in the stone sculptures of the Bayon temple in Angkor Thom. Archaeologists and historians tend to relate the history of the Angkorean era through the dynasties of great kings. These are, of course, all male images. But this apparent maleness of the Angkorean state contrasts with one of the paradigms of Southeast Asia as a cultural zone: the comparatively high status of women. Ashley Thompson addresses this apparent contradiction in her new book titled, Engendering the Buddhist State: Territory, Sovereignty and Sexual Difference in the Inventions of Angkor (Routledge, 2016). Among the themes of this rich, challenging, and provocative book is the gendered nature of the Angkorean state.
