In 1987, Dan set a goal to live until he was 156. That was ambitious then, but it might not be that ambitious now. Today, we have access to over 750,000 biomarkers that give us real information about what is happening inside our bodies. But the sad truth is, our current medical system is 30 years behind what is actually available - like these biomarker tests.It's up to you to go get it and take control over your health. Dan and I recently shared a 10 minute podcast on how the carnivore diet has helped us both make a 180 in our personal health. We have dropped unnecessary weight, sure, but more importantly, we feel better, have more energy, and our blood tests PROVE WE ARE HEALTHIER. The tools are available, and taking action could save your life, improve your quality of life, and help you live longer. Here are THREE key insights Dan shares about what he has done to improve his health and live longer. You can do this, too. Take Personal Responsibility For Your Health:  Your “An ambitious mindset" fueled by your personal sense of purpose and your clear reason to live longer and live better is essential.  Take advantage of the most advanced health solutions and recognize that the system is inside of you, not the other way around. Use Advanced Testing & Ai for Personalized Health Strategies: Comprehensive, regular testing, enhanced by artificial intelligence, will help you get deep insights into your unique health profile. BE PROACTIVE! Move beyond the limitations of traditional, reactive medicine—which is often 30 years behind—and get the personalized strategies for diet, supplementation and other health protocols YOU NEED.Find Regenerative Medical Solutions & Recognize the "1% Problem" for Women: Innovative solutions in regenerative medicine, like plasma exchange that can cleanse 98% of your blood, are game changers for your overall health. But even with cutting edge technology like this, the medical and medical research industry overlook women's health. They only receive about 1% of research dollars. Don't let this hold you back. Be assertive. Do your research and get the care you need and deserve. TIME STAMPS [0:05:58] Test with Ai: The biggest breakthrough in the last 35 years has been in testing, especially with the advancements in artificial intelligence. This isn't just about routine check-ups; it's about leveraging cutting-edge tech to deeply understand your health metrics and proactively manage your well-being. [0:11:37] Women's Health is Overlooked: 1% of research funding goes to women's health. Women face unique health challenges often ignored by the medical industry, but women still have greater longevity because they have stronger social support systems. [0:22:53] 'Why' Do You Want To Live Longer?: What's your reason? Existing isn't enough (for most of us); having a clear purpose will fuel your ambition and drive you to make healthier choices.[0:27:24] The "More Ambitious" Mindset: Dan's personal philosophy is that his "only ambition is to be more ambitious." He explains that he is more ambitious at 80 than he was at 50, and that mindset drives his health, relationships, and business. Redefine your limits. [0:31:13] The Carnivore Diet: The carnivore diet changed how we felt and our blood results prove it was a good choice. We did a podcast on this. Check it out. [0:36:59] Regenerative Medicine: Regenerative medicine is at the center of the US economy, and the payoff is that "everybody wants" to experience the health and longevity benefits. This means - OPPORTUNITY. [0:45:00] Big Problems with “Traditional Systems”: Traditional systems, especially education and health, often fail to keep up with technological advances due to a lack of individual focus, which can be a barrier to advancement.[0:51:35] The BEST System for YOUR LONGEVITY & HEALTH is Inside You: We don't always want to own it, but we choose our own healthcare system as individuals. Think about it. The system doesn't choose what you eat, or what “treatments” you take.  Rethink your approach to your health and healthcare. You're worth it. Additional ResourcesDownload your FREE digital and/or audio version of my bestselling book, “Your Next Act!”SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE VIDEOS 

This Podcast Is Episode 610, And It's About Practical Applications Of A Must-Read Book Into Your Small Business It's amazing how some books stand the test of time. We usually refer to one of our most recommended, Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, when we mentor our contractor clients and employees. Although it was first published three decades ago, its lessons are still incredibly relevant for business owners. You might wonder – how these habits fit into today's landscape of changing trends, tight deadlines, and constant distractions. The short answer is that they're timeless because they focus on principles that help you stay grounded while growing your construction business.   Below, we'll break down some of Covey's key habits and explore how you can bring them to life in your business today. Think of this as your blueprint for thriving in the chaos, not just surviving it.   1. Be proactive – the power of owning your choices   Covey's first habit, "Be Proactive," is about owning your life and decisions. For business owners, this means focusing on what you can control instead of stressing about what you can't.   Here's the thing about being reactive—it's debilitating. Complaining about a slow economy or frustrated customers doesn't solve anything, but switching to a proactive mindset is a game changer.   Anticipate potential challenges before they become disasters. For instance, if team morale starts to dip, address it early with open communication or team-building initiatives. Focus on solutions, not problems. Instead of dwelling on a client who backed out, consider what adjustments in your sales process could improve retention. Teach your team the same mindset. An empowered team that problem-solves proactively is a considerable asset.   Proactive leadership doesn't just keep you afloat; it helps you adapt and innovate in a competitive landscape.   2. "Begin with the end in mind" - set clear goals   This one often hits deep because how many rush into a workday without a clear direction? Covey's second habit reminds us to define our goals before taking action.   If you're running a business, you have to think long-term. What kind of company culture are you building? What legacy do you want to leave behind? Once you're clear on those things, aligning your daily tasks and decisions with the bigger picture becomes easier.   Create a vision statement that both you and your team can rally behind. Before launching a new service, ask, "What does success look like?" and "How does this align with our core mission?" Use goal-setting frameworks like OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) to ensure everyone in the business knows where they're headed.   Think of this habit as your compass. Without it, you're likely to work hard but still feel lost.   3. Put first things first – manage your time   Quick question – how often do you find yourself buried in "urgent" tasks, only to acknowledge at the end of the day that you didn't touch what's important? That's where Covey's third habit, "Put First Things First," shines. It's all about distinguishing between urgent and truly important, then acting accordingly.   Use Covey's Time Management Matrix. Focus on tasks that fall into Quadrant II – essential but not urgent (strategic planning, team development, or building new partnerships). Delegate or eliminate tasks that don't move the needle. Not everything deserves your attention. Start each day by asking yourself, What's my biggest priority? If I do nothing else today, what task absolutely must get done?   When you focus on what truly matters, you'll feel less like you're playing catch-up and more like you're moving forward.   4. Think win-win – building mutually beneficial relationships   Business isn't a zero-sum game. Covey's fourth habit, "Think Win-Win," pushes us to find solutions that benefit everyone involved—clients, employees, and business partners. It's the foundation of trust and collaboration.   Negotiate with empathy. During discussions, consider the other party's needs and goals and find a compromise that works for everyone. For your team, create opportunities where employees feel empowered and valued. A win-win work culture keeps talent engaged. Innovate with your customers in mind. Ask how you can provide more value to them – and watch how that mindset leads to loyalty and referrals.   Win-win isn't always the easiest route, but it pays off in the long run.   5. Seek first to understand, then to be understood – empathetic communication   Have you ever been in a meeting where everyone is talking, but no one is actually listening? Covey nailed it when he discussed the importance of understanding others before getting your point across.   Empathetic communication is one of the most valuable tools for construction business owners. Whether with a frustrated client or a team member struggling with workload, truly listening builds trust and clarity.   Pause during tough conversations and fully grasp the other person's perspective before responding. Use active listening techniques like paraphrasing or asking thoughtful follow-up questions. Encourage this habit in your team to strengthen collaboration and reduce misunderstandings. The better your communication, the stronger your relationships – and a thriving business is built on great relationships.   6. Synergize   Combine the strengths of diverse team members to achieve innovative solutions. In construction, this can mean leveraging the unique skills of various trades to enhance project efficiency. Encourage collaboration through joint problem-solving sessions, where team members can share ideas and work together on challenges. The combined efforts of a well-coordinated team can lead to exceptional results.    7. Sharpen the Saw   Invest in the ongoing development of yourself and your team. This includes professional training, certifications, and wellness initiatives to ensure everyone functions at their best. Encourage a culture of continuous improvement through workshops and skill-building exercises. Regularly reassessing and refining processes keeps your business adaptive and innovative in a competitive market.   What makes "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" priceless for construction business owners today? Its focus is on principles over trends. Trends come and go, but these habits ground you in what truly works – proactive leadership, clear goals, thoughtful planning, and fostering meaningful relationships.   Adapting these habits to your daily life won't happen overnight, but even small shifts can create momentum. Pick one habit to focus on this week, cultivate a proactive, goal-oriented, collaborative environment, and see how it transforms your leadership and business growth.   Remember, no matter how fast the business world moves, the principles in this book will always hold relevance. They don't just make you more effective – they make you a better leader, decision-maker, and collaborator. So whether you need an excellent book or a knowledgeable bookkeeper, we are here to help.

Improving Workplace Safety Culture And Performance - Week One Creating a safe workplace is everyone's responsibility, but everyone has a vital role. Taking simple yet effective actions can make your workplace safer for yourself and your colleagues. Let's explore five key steps to enhance safety in your factory, warehouse, or facility. Be Proactive in Identifying and Reporting Hazards Observe Your Environment: Regularly inspect your work area and the general facility for hazards or unsafe behaviors. If you notice something out of place, don't hesitate to report it to your supervisor, safety committee, or HR manager. Encourage Open Communication: Safety is a team effort. Encourage your coworkers to speak up about any concerns they have. A supportive, open environment helps foster a culture of "collective safety awareness." Follow Proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) Protocols Ensure you wear the correct PPE for your role, whether it's helmets, gloves, safety goggles, or ear protection. Remember, PPE is your first line of defense against workplace injuries. Stay Updated on Safety Procedures and Training Keep up-to-date with all safety protocols and training sessions. Refresher courses help reinforce best practices and ensure everyone understands the latest safety procedures. Use Equipment Safely and as Intended Continuously operate machinery and tools according to their guidelines. Avoid shortcuts, and make sure you are properly trained before using any new equipment. If you see a malfunction, tag it out immediately and report the issue. Keep Work Areas Clean and Organized A clutter-free workspace is a safer workspace. Clear pathways, properly store tools, and keep areas free of spills to prevent accidents. Good housekeeping is essential for preventing slips, trips, and falls. Workplace safety matters. Following these simple tips can help create a safer, more productive environment for everyone. Let's all work together to maintain a culture of safety and well-being. Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips. Until we meet next time - have a great week, and STAY SAFE! #Safety #SafetyFIRST #SafetyALWAYS #StaySafe #WorkplaceSafety #FactorySafety #WarehouseSafety #PPE #SafeWorkEnvironment

They spend more time on what they can control – their thoughts, actions, and behaviors."   Embracing Small Victories as Catalysts for Growth Every step towards success should be acknowledged and celebrated, no matter how small. Both Bradley and Hancock stress the importance of recognizing milestones and making achievements a communal celebration. This theme resonates deeply throughout their discussion. Nathan mentions, "You have to celebrate those tiny steps enough. Today, I made 30 calls. If you didn't sell a car, celebrate the fact that you got out of your box to make those calls." This principle isn't about lowering standards but about cultivating an environment where progress, irrespective of its scale, is recognized and appreciated. This philosophy extends to management and ownership within the dealership. "Can you imagine if a 10-car salesperson hits 14 cars and nobody cares?" asks Sean Bradley. "It is so demoralizing and anticlimactic.” Creating a culture that acknowledges incremental progress breeds confidence and motivates further achievement.   Investing in Physical and Mental Health The wellbeing of salespeople, both physical and mental, is another critical component highlighted in the podcast. Proper nutrition, hydration, and self-care are not just requisite for personal health but are fundamental to professional performance. Nathan discusses how his mother, a certified nutritionist, taught him the balance of physical health. "Physical health is half the battle of a mental mindset," Nathan explains. "You should celebrate the fact that you tried, even if the results don't pan out right now, because you're not going to go from a 10-car to a 30-car salesperson necessarily overnight." This sentiment is mirrored in the broader business context. Sean V. Bradley emphasizes, "If your employees are unhappy because they're having problems at home or other personal issues, you're withdrawing from the emotional bank account. You'll never get peak performance." LA Williams emphasizes gratitude as a tool to combat negativity and maintain a positive outlook. He asserts, "Gratitude and negativity cannot exist in the same space. Practice gratitude and watch how your perspective changes." Maintaining a holistic view of health – physical, mental, and emotional – is essential for sustainable success. The takeaways from this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast are profound and actionable. By embracing a resilient mindset, celebrating incremental milestones, and maintaining overall health, sales professionals can navigate obstacles and achieve peak performance. These lessons transcend the automotive industry and can be applied to any professional domain, demonstrating that true success is built on a foundation of personal empowerment and proactive ambition. Nathan Hancock's story, coupled with the insights from Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams, offers a compass for both novice and seasoned professionals aiming to excel amidst adversity. The integration of mindset, recognition, and holistic health sets the stage for transformative success.

Dr. Erkeda DeRouen talks to Brett Riggins, a speaker, author, investor, and founder of Connect Home Buyers and Physician Wealth Systems. They discuss the benefits of having a great mindset in medicine, why physicians should learn about real estate investing, and how to surround yourself with the right people.  [00:00] Introducing Brett Riggins [03:32] Brett's Journey to Real Estate [05:59] Why You Need to Have a Basic Understanding of Real Estate [08:46] The Mindset You Need to Succeed as a Physician [11:35] Are You Taking Advantage of All the Opportunities in Your Life? [16:32] Change "I Cannot" to "How Can I" [18:37] To Succeed, Surround Yourself With The Right People [20:20] What Brett Would Change About Healthcare [24:30] Insurance and Why We Must Restructure the Healthcare System [26:58] Be Proactive, Not Reactive [28:09] Parting Thoughts The Mindset You Need to Succeed as a Physician You need a great mindset to succeed in all aspects of life, not just medicine. As a physician, especially early in your career, you'll face demanding situations, complex cases, and endless sleepless nights. Your resilience will be tested, but a strong mindset will keep you going. So, instead of burying yourself deep in books, make time to develop a flexible and open mindset. This will allow you to embrace change, be more resilient and stay at the forefront of your field. According to Brett, having the right mindset can be the difference between surviving and thriving as a physician. With a great mindset, you can turn obstacles into opportunities and setbacks into stepping stones. Take Advantage of Every Opportunity in Life In life, you will get lots of good opportunities. You will take some, and you will miss some. The key is to take advantage of as many opportunities as possible. The more opportunities you take, the better because sometimes, one opportunity can mean the difference between a mediocre life and an extraordinary one. Brett believes the first and probably most important step in taking advantage of every opportunity is saying yes more often. Not all opportunities are great. But saying yes a lot more ensures you don't miss out on the good ones. The best things in your life will happen because you said yes to something. Otherwise, your situation will stay the same.

In this episode of The Sales Evangelist Podcast, host Donald Kelly discusses the importance of utilizing LinkedIn effectively as a sales professional. Those working as business development representatives or trying to build a sales pipeline should tune in to this week's episode. Donald shares three key focus areas for optimizing your LinkedIn profile to grab attention, generate more appointments, and ultimately drive sales. Utilize Your Banner ●     Donald emphasizes the often overlooked real estate of the banner on your LinkedIn profile. This space provides an opportunity to showcase your value proposition and target audience. ●     Potential prospects can quickly understand how you can help them if you clearly state who you serve and the industries you specialize in. ●     Additionally, if your company has noteworthy brand recognition, include it in the banner to further establish credibility. ●     Donald suggests using Canva to create a professional and eye-catching banner that aligns with your company's branding. You can begin selling to prospects even before you engage in a conversation by maximizing the potential of your banner. Take Advantage of the Name Pronunciation Feature ●     LinkedIn offers a feature that allows users to record a 10-second audio clip pronouncing their names. ●     While this feature is crucial for individuals with complex names, Donald recommends utilizing it regardless of the simplicity of your name. ●     The audio introduction serves as an additional engagement tool and helps prospects connect with you on a deeper level. Optimize Your Headline ●     The headline section is often filled with generic information such as job titles and company names automatically generated by LinkedIn. ●     Donald suggests utilizing this space strategically. ●     Consider using keywords your target audience is likely searching for, such as specific industry terms or pain points. ●     Craft a headline that attracts potential prospects to learn more about you and your expertise. ●     It's essential to align your headline with your specific goals and expertise, ensuring it accurately represents your value proposition. Be Proactive and Engage ●     Donald advises being proactive and engaging with your LinkedIn network regularly. ●     Interact with posts, share valuable content, and participate in industry discussions. ●     Building a strong presence on LinkedIn will strengthen your personal brand, enhance credibility, and attract potential leads. Maximizing your LinkedIn profile as a sales professional can significantly impact your ability to grab attention, generate appointments, and close deals. These four tips will help you make a lasting impression on potential prospects and increase your chances of success.

Rediscovering Creativity: "And one day I was thinking to myself, is this all there is? Because if this is it, this is pretty disappointing, and I'm not even really enjoying what I just did."— Mike Brennan  I'm coming in with a special episode of Creative Chats, where I share a recording of a talk I did at a recent tech conference called "That Conference." The talk is titled "How to Unlock Your Creative Potential: Discover the Surprising Benefits of a Daily Creative Practice", and I unpack my creative journey and process and talk about why you need to be intentional about your own creativity!  Here are 3 key takeaways from the episode: 1️⃣ Embrace Curiosity and Experimentation: I learned the importance of playing and experimenting when the stakes are low. Whether it's dipping a stick in paint or exploring new techniques, giving ourselves permission to be curious can lead to breakthrough moments. 2️⃣ Take a Break, Give Yourself Space: Our brains need breaks to recharge and see things from a new perspective. By intentionally taking time to play and give our minds a rest, we can open ourselves up to fresh ideas and approaches to problem-solving. 3️⃣ Be Proactive in Your Creative Journey: It's essential to stay proactive and not let discouragement derail us. Accepting the gap between our vision and reality allows us to focus on what's possible and take proactive steps towards our creative goals. Keep pushing the boundaries of your creativity and exploring new horizons. You have the power to create something amazing!

Achieving goals is quite different than just setting them. So while the first step may be to set the goals you really want, then we have to prioritize our actions from high to low. What is the most important thing that I need to do in order to get there? Because generally, you can come up with a dozen or a hundred different things that you're going to need to do to reach your goals. But there's probably one to three things on there that are going to be more important than the other 97. David: Hi, and welcome to the podcast. In today's episode, co-host Jay McFarland and I will be discussing achieving your goals. Welcome back, Jay. Jay: Hey, so glad to be here, David, and once again, I'm looking forward to this discussion. We hear people talk about goals all the time, and I know for me it's something that I struggle with because what will happen is I'll set those goals. I really haven't defined how I'm going to get there, and then when I don't achieve them, it becomes something that deflates me. So I think for a lot of people, goal setting can work against them. David: I think it can too, because I believe there is a lot of focus on goal setting, and it's something that we do, particularly at the beginning of a new year. A lot of people focus on their new year resolutions, which are their goals. And while there's been a lot written about goal setting, the importance of goal setting, writing things down, reviewing it regularly, having your affirmations and things like that. All of those things are certainly helpful, but they don't actually, directly connect to the idea of achieving the goals. And that's why I wanted to title this the way that I did, because setting your goals has been done to death, but how do we go about achieving it? And I think it's interesting to explore that aspect of this topic. Jay: Well, yeah. And one of the things that frustrates me is, when people talk about goal setting, they tend to assume that everybody's the same. Oh, just follow this and you're great. It's like, I read seven Habits of Highly Successful People and what was never mentioned or considered in that was, it was also seven habits for highly organized people already. You had already achieved a level where all you had to do was put these things in place and you're good. Well, what about me? I wasn't raised with systems and those kind of things, so what about me? I didn't feel like there was any place that I could implement that. David: Yeah. And that is very common. I mean, I think everyone probably deals with that because unfortunately, when you're writing a book that's going to be on a shelf for a long period of time, you have to include things that are essentially timeless. And the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. I mean, it's such a great book. It's a very inspirational read. But when you've got rules, like "Be Proactive," that's a big, broad rule, right? And. In many cases you can be proactive, but what does that mean? It gets down to the nitty gritty. And we've talked in the past about Michael Gerber, the author of the E-Myth. And I love that book. The E-Myth, The E-Myth Revisited. I read the original copy a long, long time ago, and I just loved it. I'm like, okay, because this was all about processes. And that book talked primarily about the fact that you have to have processes. But then what are those processes, right? Because that's the part that people like you and I need. It's like, okay, well what are the processes and how do I do that and how do I make that happen? And so, so much of my career has been focused on that. Okay, how do I turn this great recommendation, "be proactive," you know? Jay: Yeah. David: "Work on your business, not just in your business." How do I take broad statements like that? To some extent, they become platitudes, and how do I turn that into something that is actionable? Because that is the only way we're going to be able to ach...

These ambassadors can feel more genuine and effective compared to traditional influencers.- Don't forget email lists and messaging apps: Email lists, text, and WhatsApp can potentially reach many users, but it's important not to overdo it or cause brand damage. Being careful with communication and frequency is key.Show notes* Eli's SEO course: https://www.domestika.org/en/courses/3824-seo-growth-strategy-and-content-planningTime stamps[00:00:05] Discussing New Life and Creative Marketing Channels for Customer Acquisition[00:01:54] Eli Schwartz Launches SEO Course for Beginners[00:04:02] Innovative and Creative Marketing Channels[00:05:56] The value of out-of-home advertising[00:07:22] Discussing Growth Strategy for a Fictitious Self-Cleaning Diaper Product[00:07:47] Innovative Marketing Channels: Product Ambassadors and Online Communities[00:10:16] Exploring Innovative Marketing Channels with Eli Schwartz and Kevin Indig[00:15:17] Exploring Untapped Advertising Channels Such as Radio Ads and More[00:18:06] Innovative and Creative Traffic Channels for Growth Marketing[00:20:54] Exploring unconventional digital marketing channels[00:21:58] Quick Marketing Channels for Startups[00:24:19] Leveraging Email Lists and Creative Marketing for SEO[00:27:55] SEO Emergency?

Biblical Truth: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters” – Colossians 3:23 (NIV)“So, whatever you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God” – 1 Corinthians 10:31 (NIV)Leadership Truth:“The ultimate goal is not that we would do good things for others. It's not even to start churches or share our faith. The ultimate aim of our lives is to bring glory to God” (Life on Mission, p. 27) 5 Ways to Execute the Vision:1. TRUST GOD and the PROCESS     a. God is the creator and articulate of the vision.2. Settle the level of your OWN CONVICTIONS first     a. The Vision - If you don't support it, you won't be able to execute it!3. DISCUSS/DEBATE PRIVATELY, but HONOR and SUPPORT PUBLICALLY     a. When honor is practice, it becomes a part of the culture.4. Assume the BEST even when you are tempted to think the WORSE     a. We're all on the same team and we all want the same thing.5. Commit to being a KEEPER OF UNITY (It's BIBLICAL)     a. “Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.” – Romans 12:16 Biblical Truth:“As a prisoner of the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:1-3 (NIV) The Role of the Leader: How to get others to connect to the vision? It's all about TRUST!1. Practical trust in GOD (He knows more that we do)2. Principal trust in AUTHORITY (It's how we maintain unity and eliminate division)3. Personal trust in the LEADER (God called the leader, so we trust God's discussion) Take-A-Way: What does this mean for you…the leader?1. Be a CRITICAL THINKER, not just a TASK-DRIVEN DOER (Move from listening & thinking to doing, creating, and innovating)2. Be PROACTIVE, not just REACTIVE (It's the difference between being an intentional leader vs a reactionary leader)3. Be CLEAR, not just CLEVER (Just because it sounds good to you, doesn't mean it make sense to others)

Rev. Wendy continues her series today on "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People." Today's lesson is on the second habit "Be Proactive." Her main points were: ~ "Proactive people focus their efforts in the Circle of Influence ~ Reactive people focus their efforts on the Circle of Concern ~ All our problems fall in one of three areas ~ Direct control problems are problems with our own behavior 2. Indirect control problems ~ involve other people's behavior 3. No control problems ~ Are problems which we can do nothing about other than accept with as peacefully as we can.” Our Social Platforms; Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net Ask Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336X Get our free App!

My guest this week is Dr. Courtney Kowalczyk.  In this episode, Dr. Courtney and I are discussing a topic that I get asked about most, school! Specifically about getting the education and help at school your child needs. Issues can arise with kids of all ages, especially when a child has extra challenges that impact their learning or behavior. The school environment can be a tough thing to navigate, and parents often feel at a major disadvantage with not understanding how these systems work, or what is available to help their child. So to answer the many questions I receive around the topic of school; whether it's how to best deal with schools and teachers, how to get the right support for your child who's struggling, or choosing the right educational setting, Dr. Courtney is the perfect expert to share her insights and tips. Dr. Courtney Kowalczyk has been a therapist at Horizons, my clinic, for over 15 years. She is a Limited Licensed Psychologist and Certified Special Education teacher. Dr. Courtney began her career within the public school environment as a special education teacher and teacher consultant. She's worked with students of all ages with a variety of disabilities including cognitive impairment, Autism Spectrum Disorder, learning disabilities, executive function disabilities, physical impairments, health conditions, and speech and language impairments. Her work has focused on psychological evaluation and treatment of mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions. Dr. Courtney is actively involved in the realm of education, and provides ongoing consultation services to several schools within and outside of Michigan. She's also a co-author of Learning as We Grow, a text written to support individuals with disabilities in the educational environment along with their teachers and caregivers.   Connect with Dr. Courtney Kowalczyk: Twitter: https://twitter.com/HorizonsDRC Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HorizonsDRC/ Website: https://www.horizonsdrc.com/staff/courtney-kowalczyk LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/courtney-kowalczyk-3089b484/     ------     Episode Takeaways Episode Intro … 00:00:30 Intro to Dr. Courtney Kowalczyk … 00:01:20  Kids Progress Better with a Bigger Support Network … 00:05:45 School has Become More Challenging for Kids … 00:08:36 Importance of Good Relationships & Communication in School & Home … 00:13:18 Clinical/Medical Diagnoses Outside the School System … 00:20:37 Special Education Process Criteria … 00:23:00 Meeting Physical Medical Needs at School … 00:28:50 Be Proactive with Communicating Needs for Your Child … 00:31:35 Best Approach When a Child is Struggling at School … 00:34:40 Be Your Child's Best Advocate & Follow up if Deadlines Are Missed … 00:41:20 You've Done Everything & Child is Still Struggling … 00:43:30 Resources, Consults & Episode Wrap Up … 00:51:40     ------     Need help with improving your child's behavior naturally?

In this episode we discuss the 4 underrated fat loss hacks that you can start implementing today. Free Workouts: https://bit.ly/3J7Hn7E Online Coaching: https://bit.ly/3IUgJi1 Free Calorie Calculator: https://bit.ly/3ui7AvU Legion Products (Code Jeff for 20% off): https://bit.ly/32GxC05 Fancy food fails You can spend hours on Pinterest or Tiktok finding fat loss recipes, but you are going to be left with a sour taste in your mouth. People who get fit and stay fit rarely get fancy with their meals Keeping things basic like protein and rice, sandwiches, scrambles, salads, stir fries Is the way to go and requires a lot less prep. Be Proactive and pre-track Putting your food in as you go during the day is great, but an even better way to ensure you hit your protein and calories is to pre-log your food the night before. This will force you to think about what you have in the fridge and what you are going to eat ahead of time. Go Grocery Shopping the same day every week If you have no food in the house, you will be more likely to door dash or just hit the drive thru. Going shopping the same days each week will ensure you never shoot yourself in the foot and always have some staples to fall back on. Keep healthy foods in the house and you'll eat healthy foods, it's not rocket science. PS: never go grocery shopping hungry, you'll just end up with a years supply of rice crispy treats Go to fucking sleep Getting less than 6 hours of sleep per night can absolutely wreak havoc on your food choices and done consistently can lead to insulin resistance and blood sugar levels in the range of a diabetic. So get 7-9 hours of sleep per night and you will find fat loss much easier.

In today's episode, Allan discusses one habit found in the book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey. That habit is “Be Proactive.” Being proactive is all about focusing on what you can control, rather than being reactive. Reactive people let their circumstances control them. Allan encourages you to have intentional control over your life by recognizing how much of your life is within your control and spending the vast majority of your time focusing only on that.

Trigger Warning:  We discuss suicide in relationship to bullying within this episode. This is our back to school episode of Alopecia Life. It's the beginning of the school year here in the US, and for many of us around the world. Every year, I hear from parents whose children are new to alopecia. Starting school is a huge topic of discussion in my coaching. Questions like, "How do we share about alopecia in the classroom." and "How do we get the school to allow my child to wear a hat." In previous back-to-school episodes, we've covered topics like these, and I'll definitely put those links here in the show notes. I recently did a poll of over 6500 parents, where I asked what the biggest concerns were when starting school. Over half of the responses were around the topic of bullying. It's one that many of us are familiar with, and has recently been in the forefront in our alopecia community. Today's guest is Nate Webb, a resiliency trainer, a professional School counselor, and a certified digital safety educator. Nate endured relentless bullying as a kid. Bullies and social media almost ruined his life. Drawing from his experiences and from his studies as a professional school counselor and digital safety educator, he passionately educates schools about the dangers of social media, and how to transform their culture into a culture of kindness. Throughout today's interview, Nate and I talk about how to identify bullying when it's happening, what steps we can take as kids and parents at home and at school, and we also share some insight into what causes bullying. In this episode, we also discuss suicide in response to bullying. Please know that is not the main topic of discussion, but it may be triggering for some. instagram: @bulliesbe.gone email bullies.speaker@gmail.com Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/teaching-kindness-bullies-be-gone-podcast/id1507787925Alopecia Life Back to School Episodes:  https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/e002-back-to-school-with-educator-jennifer-george/id1479093384?i=1000449494869https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/e035-words-of-wisdom-from-a-9-year-old-back-to/id1479093384?i=1000490016344https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s2e23-back-to-school-with-alopecia-uk-young-animators-club/id1479093384?i=1000531058813Support the show

*It's been said that, in the United States, the influence of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is second only to the Bible. *Not only is it listed as core reading for employees in many Fortune 500 companies, but even former US Presidents Clinton and Obama have recommended it. *Sales now exceed 25 million copies, and it was the first non-fiction book to sell a million copies in audio format. *Covey provides a masterful synthesis of what he argues are simply ‘natural laws', timeless and universal principles that are the foundations of effectiveness. *Understanding these principles and following them with integrity, by way of Covey's series of seven habits, leads the way to fulfillment and success.
