Cory Sterling is a lawyer. But not any lawyer. Cory is a cool lawyer. A holistic health nut himself, Cory left the shiny and very corporate white-collar world of law to help health professionals set up their businesses in a way that keeps them protected.   Your number one protection is going to be watching your language and staying within your scope of practice but a very close second on the list is to have your terms and conditions, waiver, privacy policy, and client agreement all buttoned up (from a legal perspective). Good news – Cory walks us through this in a way that (believe it or not) is kind of fun!   Cory's business, Conscious Counsel, provides legal counsel for creative, ambitious and heart-leading business owners who build communities and make the world a better and healthier place.   During our conversation, we get into topics such as the biggest problems coaches have getting started with the legal aspects of the business, how to navigate the law when there is no definition for health coaching, where the biggest issues with the law originate, and what Cory calls the Screenshot Defence. We also dig into how often coaches really get sued, what is and is not in the scope of practice, the legal aspect of supplements and providing diagnostics. And we cover a whole lot more in this fun conversation about the law.   Connect with Cory at: Website: https://consciouscounsel.ca   Episode Overview: 0:00 Meet, Cory Sterling: The Cool Lawyer 2:21 Cory's Journey: Choosing Freedom 6:27 Turnkey Solutions: Entrepreneur's Dream 10:09 Managing Client Expectations: Honesty is Key 10:14 Health Coaching Regulations: Language Matters 13:37 Importance of Relationships: Open Communication 18:04 Legal Issues Arising: Misaligned Communication 20:25 Screenshot Defense: Legal Protection Strategy 22:35 Fear of Lawsuits: Scope of Practice 26:26 Reacting to Complaints: Legal Position Matters 27:14 Legal Proof: What You Can Prove 29:38 Scope of Practice and Client Expectations 31:50 Working with Coaches: Online Forms and Support 56:27 Finding Conscious Counsel: Contact Information and Resources     Health Coach Radio is a podcast that dives deep into the world of health and fitness coaching, brought to you by Primal Health Coach Institute, founded by the renowned Mark Sisson.

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  Happy Friday, Be It babe, thank you so much for being back here. Oh my gosh, I'm so grateful for you. Here we are, February 9th, in real time, and these ones can be listened to, you know, in the past in the future, repeated, especially if they're one of your wins. So what I do is I read one of your wins, I share one of mine. And then we have a little affirmation for you to repeat. So you can end the weekend on a high note instead of just like looking forward to Saturday. So here is the deal. Here is one of your wins. We're gonna go with Melissa Nagai, she's an Agency member. She said I take Thursdays off. I have slipped up and taken on teaching a few times in last year and (inaudible) myself every time I do that. I also started having cleaners come and told them, they could come on Thursdays which also limits what I can do on Thursday because I need to be here to deal with the dog when they come. Anyhow, I've rescheduled them all and freed up my Thursdays again. Now I can do what I want or need to do on a Thursday and have some flexibility with my schedule. Boundaries are something I have become so much better at because of Agency. Way to go. Melissa, you are incredible. Boundaries. So important. I was interviewed by Cory Sterling of Conscious Counsel. He said what is one thing that people in this business need to learn so that they can have a thriving business? I said boundaries. So I love it. Lesley Logan 2:01  Okay, so Sonia, also an Agency member. And by the way, I'm just doing a lot of agency members, because we're doing Agency Mini coming up. And I just, I love sharing all of the wins because they just have epic ones because it's mostly like, out of 150 members, 140 are women. And it's so important that you hear women in business having wins. So, a Facebook memory popped up today, five years ago since launching my own business. Although I've been teaching for many years for someone else it was, it was the time I finally got the courage to branch out and go for it. I started teaching my own group classes and advertising my one-to-ones, I had no clue that I was going to grow to the business I have today. I am so, so grateful for my clients and family and friends but also for LL, Brad and Agency who gave me the strength and competence and tools to get here. I'm not done yet. Anyone here who is willing to take the leap for but fear is holding you back, I encourage you to go for it. I would never have believed I could be where I am now if I if you told me five years ago, so grateful. Oh my freaking goodness, Sonia, you're just, thank you for sharing that you're celebrating that. And also for reminding people that they can do it, too. And for giving them that permission. That is just so freakin incredible. It's so amazing. We're so happy for you. And I know you've got big changes coming up and we can't wait to support you in those. Lesley Logan 3:17  So here's the deal, guys. It's time for me to share my win. My win this week is my incredible team, holy frickin moly. I mean, you probably think that like when you have a team that like you're scraped from all the time, but I am just absolutely so grateful and they are a win. And that is because it is not easy to take on people on your team. It's not easy to ask for help, and it's not easy to then hire said help. It is not easy to invest in that because it's very scary. It's very scary. To go okay, yeah, you're gonna work with me for ongoing forever, for as long as this works out. But it's a huge win. Because here we are today, February 9th, which is a couple days before agency Mini 10 starts, which, if you're a teacher, a studio owner, Agency Mini 10, you'll want to be part of it. It's our probably the only time we're doing it this year, we haven't decided about the fall. So I couldn't do it without the team the first time we opened Agency, it was just me. And we only had a few members. And then as I got more members, I had to hire people because I couldn't do it all myself. And my win is you know, hiring this amazing team, really believing in myself enough to know that I could have an amazing team and then continuing to invest in them so that our business can grow we can have the impact we want to make. You know I share this with you as a win because you have amazing dreams that you want to have and I promise you that some of those dreams are just gonna require you to ask for some help from people on your team and the Be It Pod's on your team for sure. And if you're a Pilates studio or teacher we can be on your team in a bigger, bigger ways. But my win is just them. They're just freaking awesome. So thank you. Thank you all for listening. Thank you for being part of this Be It Pod. We are so grateful for you. Lesley Logan 4:55  Okay, your affirmation for today is I can be soft in my heart and firm in my boundaries. Yes, you can. You can be soft in your heart and firm in your boundaries. I can be soft in my heart and firm in my boundaries. So remind yourself that when your boundaries feel like they're being crossed, remember the wins our people have shared with you and also go ask for some help. That may be one day you're gonna be celebrating that as your win that you asked for some help. All right loves have an amazing day. Till next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 5:26  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

I know you're thinking what, Miami? You couldn't find a stop? I would have done it. Well, you should have raised your hand. Because this girl saw that we were looking for some stops. But she was like, I don't know if I should say anything. I really love for her to come to Charleston. And then we called her. We're like, Hey, we're coming to Charleston. Would you like a stop? And she was so excited. Yeah, so anyways, you guys dreams do come true. And also, you can raise your hand for things. So I'm so excited we're here.Brad Crowell 4:55  And sometimes we need a place to go. So, let us know where you are, y'all. Lesley Logan 4:59  We want to know where you are. Brad Crowell 5:01  We do.Lesley Logan 5:01  We'll go where people want us to hang out. Brad Crowell 5:03  That's right. Lesley Logan 5:04  And so we're so excited to be here. It's her new studio. It's been open for a year. So congratulations, Diana. Then we're headed to Miami. There might be some spots left in the Mat Class at this point, but everything else is sold out Sarasota. The class is sold out guys. I got a waitlist an arm's distance long. I don't know what to do. I'm feeling really bad.Brad Crowell 5:21  I know. I wish that we could have gotten a bigger space even but like it just the way it worked out was amazing. But wow, what a response.Lesley Logan 5:29  Thank you, Christina Fenton. And also like, we, another spot that we like super struggled to like find a location and Christina Fenton, shout out to her who made a spot happen. And then we sold out so quickly.Brad Crowell 5:43  Yeah, I didn't, but there may still be spots in the workshop. After that. We'll be in Austin. We'll be there all day. Lesley Logan 5:50  All day. New Year's Eve.Brad Crowell 5:51  First of January.Lesley Logan 5:52  That's Gaia. She's so excited about Austin. She loves Austin, she's been there before. So Austin, we got four events, you have to come, it's the best. You want to start your day off, you're in New Year's off, right? You hang out with us. And then we're in Dallas, class sold out. But there might be spots in the workshop, and then it's Albuquerque and Sedona and then we're home. And then I kick off eLevate as soon as we get home. Round four. At the time that we're recording this, I do have a couple spots left. So if you are interested in a mentorship, if you're wanting to not only learn, like accessible and fun approach to classical work, it's still classical, but you get to be a human being. Hi, I'm your girl. So you go to lesleylogon.co/elevate. And then at the end of the month around my birthday, probably before we are going to (inaudible). Okay. Well, it's, I mean, as of right now, it's one month to my birthday since my birthday month. But halfway through the month. You are if you're on the waitlist for the retreat, you're going to get an email, let you know that you can lock in the best, the lowest price of the retreat.Brad Crowell 6:58  Only those on the waitlist.Lesley Logan 7:01  Only those one will get that. Just so you know, if you're not on the waitlist, you won't get that email. Brad Crowell 7:05  So get on the waitlist. Go to Lesleylogan.co/retreats. Lesley Logan 7:09  Yeah. And then in after my birthday. We'll do Agency Mini Number 10. Number 10. Brad Crowell 7:16  Yeah, that's crazy. Lesley Logan 7:18  Fuck, it's crazy. Well, Agency turns six in January. Yes. So it's number 10. And we only do it twice a year. And we're working towards once a year. So just so you know, Brad Crowell 7:28  It's quite possible that next year will be the last twice a year. Lesley Logan 7:32  Yeah. Or who knows, it might only oh, but (inaudible) happened. Brad Crowell 7:35  It's also possible that next year, maybe like the beginning of the year, we'll see. We're trying a couple of new things that going to happen next year. Lesley Logan 7:43  We're also doing like calendar light, guys, like we are Brad Crowell 7:46  We are really trying. Lesley Logan 7:48  So do not wait till next time because we can't promise it. It's actually not in the books yet. Just let me know.Brad Crowell 7:53  Profitablepilates.com/mini Lesley Logan 7:56  Yeah. Before we get into Jenn Drummond's question, Jenn Drummond's interview, we have a question. Brad Crowell 8:01  That's right. Yeah. I was gonna say, Wow, she wrote in a question? Amazing.Lesley Logan 8:05  She did. Well, you know what she did, because she's got a book launch. But we'll talk about that in a moment. We have a question from one of you all, this came on Facebook. Brad Crowell 8:14  Yeah. So the question was, I just bought a studio, what are some do's and don'ts that I should consider? Lesley Logan 8:21  Yeah, I love this question. Because it came up in a Facebook group, which I'm not in. I mean, I'm in them, but I don't participate. And we had five different Agency members comment and they tagged me. Brad Crowell 8:32  Really? Lesley Logan 8:33  Yeah. All of them are, so fucking proud of them. They're like, hire coach. Lesley Logan. I bought a studio. I own a studio. I work with her. And Agency Mini is in FebruaryBrad Crowell 8:46  You should screenshot this conversation. Lesley Logan 8:48  It is so great. Well, you should I don't know how.Brad Crowell 8:50  I'm gonna find that. I need to know where this is.  Lesley Logan 8:52  Yeah. So at any rate, my post response back was what I'll tell you here. If you're buying a someone else's studio, congratulations, I'm so excited for you. We're so excited for you. There is not a one size fits all anything. Brad Crowell 9:08  It's true. Lesley Logan 9:09  And if anyone tries to sell you that run the fuck away. Yeah. Because that means whatever their system is, doesn't include your dreams, your mission, your values. It's not possible. Brad Crowell 9:19  It's highly unlikely. Lesley Logan 9:21  Okay, it's highly unlikely, but it's true. So what we what I would say is do's and don'ts. Do's - hire a coach. Do's - really understand what to charge so that you are paying your employees and yourself correctly. We have a free tool. It's called the magic calculator. There's a studio owner version, which includes the salary you're gonna pay. Pay yourself. And that is on profitablepilates.com. Another do - get a lawyer. We have two amazing ones, Danielle Stead Blanton and Conscious Counsel with Corey Sterling. If you want those hookups, just ask for us. Those are do's. Brad Crowell 9:54  We're happy to make the intro. Lesley Logan 9:56  Have boundaries. Boundaries are key meaning when you'll work and when you won't work. And beyond that, I actually need to know what your goals are, as far as don't - don't get jealous of other people's businesses. Don't. That is waste of your time, you don't even know if they're profitable, I don't care if they look busy.Brad Crowell 10:12  I got a don't. Don't price your classes based on other businesses in the area. Lesley Logan 10:19  Yes to that, because you don't. Okay. I was talking to a group of studio owners and they were bulking at me because I wanted them to charge 45 Euros for up to six people in a class per person. And then I was like, but that's what you need to charge. So you can pay yourself and pay your employees, you can stay in business, you want to stay in business. If you want to be a charity, go file yourself. Here's the thing, y'all I've had many people go, I want to make accessible. Then, go file yourself as a 501-C3. Do not file yourself as a business because of you're business, you have to be profitable. Period. That doesn't mean you can't be accessible. But you can't be you. Somebody, you either have to have 1000 clients, or you have to have 20. Like it's it's you have this decision. This is where coaching comes in. Because we've actually figured out my mission is to make things accessible. Okay, how can we do that? Right? My mission is to get paid myself this much. Okay, how can we do that? So the don't that you, Brad just mentioned is super key. You don't know if they're profitable, you don't know if they're just filling their classes with ClassPass, things like that.Brad Crowell 11:20  You don't know their story, you don't know if they need to be profitable, maybe they're intentionally not being profitable. Lesley Logan 11:25  I have so many girlfriends in L.A. who are teachers whose entire role in their family was to not be profitable, because their family needed a loss on their taxes.Brad Crowell 11:37  Surprise.Lesley Logan 11:39  So, you guys like that. So don't don't base your services, your rates, your schedule around others, you have to go with your mission, vision and values. And beyond that, we actually need to know what those are. So we can actually coach you on do's and don'ts for you. So if you want that you can go to profitablepilates.com/agency. You can also go to profitablepilates.com/mini and find out on the next thing. You know, I know coach is an investment and it's, it's, you know, it's hard to know if you're making the right one. We hope it's us, but you should try people out. If you have a question for us to answer just send it to Be It Pod. I love this one. And I know most of you listening are not studio owners. If you are a business owner, everything we just said applies. Brad Crowell 12:22  It's true. Lesley Logan 12:22  If you are in the service industry, it all applies.Brad Crowell 12:25  Yeah, it doesn't have to be Pilates. It could be yoga, boxing, any kind of gym.Lesley Logan 12:30  Can be a retail store.Brad Crowell 12:32  Could be. Yeah, totally can. That's true. All right. Stick around. We'll be right back.Brad Crowell 12:51  Okay, now let's talk about Jenn Drummond. Jenn Drummond is an extraordinary adventurer, and a mother of seven, who, after surviving a near-fatal car accident embarked on an inspirational journey to climb the world's most challenging mountains. In 2023, she won the Guinness World Record, a first female mountaineer to seven second summits. So what that means, seven second summits. Second means they're the second tallest mountains on the continent. She summited the second tallest mountains on all seven continents. Lesley Logan 14:50  Also, first woman to do it. Brad Crowell 14:51  First woman to do it. Lesley Logan 14:52  And also you guys, they're apparently often harder than the K ones. Brad Crowell 14:57  Yeah, and that's like a lot of technical stuff. And there, but basically, they're not nearly as well mapped. They're not nearly as popular. The trails aren't nearly as consistent.Lesley Logan 15:06  What if the one she did, because of COVID, no one had even been there for years. And because of the snow, because like, what is it Antarctica she went at, (inaudible) it's like, years outdated map. And I'm like,Brad Crowell 15:16  Yeah, that's crazy. Lesley Logan 15:18  I'm gonna just say, no, no. But I love that she did it.Brad Crowell 15:24  It's pretty. It's ambitious. It's amazing. And you know, I thought what was really, like, what really, really inspired me was she said, you know, look, I was a full time mom, and awesome, love, love doing that. But when I started training for this, I had a chance to be showing my kids, you know, what it's like to live a busy life. And do you know, be a mom too? And I thought that was really inspiring to me. Because, you know, that's, that's reality.Lesley Logan 16:01  Yeah, I, I'm actually gonna go off off off the grid here, because I'm actually gonna talk about something I really, really, really loved. That she said, so here's she has seven kids. Okay, I got three dogs. It's already too many. So, I don't even know. But I asked her like, how do you? How did you even train for this? And this, to me is one of my favorite takeaways from the whole episode. Because she talked about finding a way and you guys, if you really want something bad enough, you find a way like, yeah, there Brad can tell when I want something bad enough, because I'll set up a car because I really want that. But that requires, like consistent things over time. However, I wanted this one chair so bad. I was like, I'm gonna sell my peloton. I'm gonna sell it. I want Brad Crowell 16:51  It's exactly what I was thinking about. Lesley Logan 16:52  I also sold a bunch of stuff in my closet. Like, there's this interesting thing when you want something bad enough, like the thing that the lengths you'll go to do something. And I was trying to figure out like, how if you're a mom of seven kids, you've got to choose a job. She's, you know, it's like she's like at home just taking care of seven kids. How did you train to be a mountain woman because like, that is, if Jenn lives in Utah, but also that's hours, hours a day, right? So she actually brought up she's like, you can find a way she's like, there's no takers for every phone call you're on. And that just takes notes for me. And so I'm physically on the call, but I'm on a treadmill at an elevation so I can get my time under my legs at elevation rock climbing. And I'm still working. And I can go back to the notes because it's high like you guys, there are so many great tools out there that will highlight will pull the questions up you can search on makes it so easy, right? The other thing she did was at the kids' soccer game, and she brought a stepstool and water bottles and water bottles. And she just didBrad Crowell 17:50  She would wear them like I'm guessing she would wear them? (inaudible)Lesley Logan 17:54  So she would like do her, for 90 minutes, just step on the stepstool. And she's fully present for her kids. But she is training for her event. And I just want to bring this up because I think we make a lot of excuses for ourselves. Brad Crowell 18:11  Well it's very creative, first off. Lesley Logan 18:13  It's very creative, but it's also I've got the soccer games I can't do I'll wait till they're older or whatever. You are, if you're, if your goal and your passion happens to be a physical activity, like mountain climbing, and maybe it's not, you actually want to do that when you're younger. Not when your kids are older. But also she pulled up like what if I die tomorrow? And I think it's really cool what she was able to show her children because she showed her seven children that she could still prioritize her goals and them and so anyways, just like I was like, mind blown. Yeah, because I do that shit. But I don't have seven kids.Brad Crowell 18:54  Well she started talking about she doesn't get to choose when she dies. Right? And I think that for her it was incredibly real because what set her down this journey in the first place was the near fatal near-fatal that she had where she said somehow she walked away from it. Everyone imagined that she wasn't going to, you know, and so of course when she made it home everything had a new perspective and so but also made her reevaluate everything. And this is pre-COVID when COVID made the world reevaluate everything right? So this for her was you know the moment the wake up call.Lesley Logan 19:37  Yeah, yeah. What did you love? Brad Crowell 21:16  I really loved it when she was talking about putting people over peaks. Now of course she's like, so polished in her presentation here that everything ties together she talks about conquering your own mountain in your life. But putting people over peaks was really interesting. She was a, she was on a mountain where there was a terrible accident that happened with one of her, her climbing mates died in an avalanche. Lesley Logan 21:48  I can't even imagine that I don't even like that's devastating. Brad Crowell 21:52  Yeah. Yeah. I mean, she decided not to continue the summit, which means she got part of the way up, and then decided to come back down. And she said, the reason was what I thought was really I was like, could I make this decision this way in this moment? She said, the mountain is always going to be here. So I can come back. But this is more important right now. Lesley Logan 22:23  Yeah, I think like what's beautiful is like, achieving that climb on that day wouldn't have been as special. Brad Crowell 22:35  Well, yeah, there's that too. I mean, it would have always been tied to that, that terrible memory. So yeah, that's another I mean, in hindsight now, like, wow, what? That's definitely the right move.Lesley Logan 22:45  I mean, what I'm also impressed by is that she still went and did it because like, I'm gonna be really honest, people dying in front of me, I'm like, I'm out. But I'm out. All right. I'm out on the climb. Like, I thought we hiked. I've decided we (inaudible).Brad Crowell 23:09  She said, who she believes that who we are as people. That's more important than what we achieve. Yeah. And I think that is so counterintuitive to the way we live in our society today, that we only value achieving the next goal, achieving the next thing and like, or the credentials, or you know, what's on a resume.Lesley Logan 23:34  You know, but this brings me up because I this morning, the day that we're recording this, I had a call with Jonah White, who is on the podcast, she's the one who's like recovering from a brain tumor everyone, right? And she went to some event and the person did the thing. Like, if you really, really wanted these goals, that would happen already. And she's like, like, I heal myself from a brain tumor. And I don't have the things that I want already. And it's because I'm holding myself back. And I'm like, I call bullshit. I call bullshit. Yeah, because there are things I really, really want. The G Wagon in the driveway. I also wanted this house. I also like, and I refuse to burn myself out. And I actually want to take this back to it. Like I think it's really, I think quotes like that from self-development gurus can be great for the person who needs to get the fuck off the couch. But I also love that in this instance, she could have been like, this is my goal I'm going and you know, but she actually chose to go off of her values. And she really values people and human life. And, and one, if you don't know what you would do, check your values. I bet you would. I want you to do the exact same thing because I know your values, you know, like, and if you don't know what your values are, this is your call to action. Sit down, there is actually, you can just Google list of values. (inaudible)Brad Crowell 25:06  Just ask chatGPT.Lesley Logan 25:07  Yeah. (inaudible) 54 and then go through and pick out the ones that stand out to you. And then notice which ones are duplicates, because you want to get down to five, three to five, you otherwise won't remember them. And I bet you'd you'd make the same decision. But I think it's really important. Like, there are obstacles that areBrad Crowell 25:23  Wait there are 54 values. Where, what? Tell me more about this. Lesley Logan 25:26  I Googled it a few years back. It might be more, but I Googled like, values. And it was like the ones that I found like, 54.Brad Crowell 25:37  Yeah, I think there are more than that.Lesley Logan 25:39  I'm sure there's more. The ones that I've found were like, 54. So whatever, doesn't matter.Brad Crowell 25:44  There's a lot. Here, 50 common personal values. Here are 200 values explained. Lesley Logan 25:49  Great. That's too many. Brad Crowell 25:50  Twelve universal values. What are 20 types of values. That's interesting. Lesley Logan 25:54  So 200 is too many. Brad Crowell 25:56  James Clear, 50 common personal values. Lesley Logan 25:59  Start there. And then like, there's other there's also tons, like Jill Coleman shout out to her, had us go through how to come with our values was a really, really fun, post it note thing at all, to go back to Jenn Drummond. If you know what your values are, you will know what you do in certain situations, and you will love hitting your goals while you're with your values intact. You won't love hitting your goals with your values out of alignment. So I think you would know what you'd do.Brad Crowell 27:26  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 Jenn Drummond? She said, this was really fun, y'all. She said she had a major reframe on something that made her so angry. There was a red light in front of her house, a stoplight and she said she would always hit this damn light. And it would just like, it's probably in my mind. I was like, we all know it. There's the one damn light that takes five fucking minutes to go. And you're like, why am I sitting here and the stupid light there aren't even any cars?Lesley Logan 28:02  Every light in Vegas is the longest light I've ever experienced in my life, like four minutes. Brad Crowell 28:10  So when she's talking about this, I was imagining, you know, us here in our town. And she said that she had the story about when she decided you know what I need? I need to reframe this. And she started to take that time to pause and use it as a time to be grateful for things in her in her world. And then she taught that to her kids. And then her kids said they began to enjoy the reframe. So whenever they would hit a red light, it's like I imagined it being like the punch buggy game. Punch buggy. You know, punch backs where you drive past a VW bug.Lesley Logan 28:50  Slug bag bus, it's what we called it. Okay. Now, there was an entire lot of that (inaudible) cars.Brad Crowell 28:57  Did you say slug blast?Lesley Logan 28:59  Slug bag bus. Slug bag. Slug bag was the car and slug bug bus was when you saw the VW bus. And there was a whole parking lot of used cars. And when we were in (inaudible), my parents drove us up my grandparents house, right to school, and we would be doing slug bug, the whole drive right? And we get to this part of this car lot. And it was like we get out of our seatbelts to like start counting. And my mom was like, stop, we're gonna drive by, you're going to all count and then you can divide it by three and punch each other.Brad Crowell 29:33  Ah, that's hilarious. No, I feel like we at one point had to call that game because my brother and I were getting stronger. And we were hurting each other. But anyway, I thought it was that's what I was comparing it to and her kids started to flip it around where they were like, oh, the light's green. We can't do our grateful thing now because the light's not red. And I just thought that was what a fun way to reframe something that normally would get you aggravated. And then also to pass that along. I thought that was really cool.Lesley Logan 30:04  Can you imagine if we tried to do it with my dad? Brad Crowell 30:06  Yeah. Your dad, he would just (inaudible).Lesley Logan 30:11  He would like, yeah, he would let us do it and he wouldn't do anything. It's fine. Brad Crowell 30:16  What about you?Lesley Logan 30:17  I do love that that one has really stuck with me, I have to say like, after how many interviews have I done? Close to 150? Not really, maybe like 120. I, that is one Be It Action Item. I think of her often I think of her at red lights. And I just love it. So I hope that one sticks with you. I actually really love this. She talks about taking a gap year. And I'm not saying to take a gap here from achieving a goal. But I do think y'all, it's so important to take a break after you achieve something. Because otherwise you're just like achieving and achieving, achieving it. And if you're not achieving, you're like, Fuck, I'm not doing anything with my life. Brad Crowell 30:53  Well, it's what we talked about earlier in this episode, where, you know, that's how we measure success is the achievements that we the our credentials, our accolades, or whatever. And, you know, that's, that's this weird to (inaudible).Lesley Logan 31:12  Yeah. I think it's really, really cool. Like, something I'm so proud of us, at this point is like, we have the fewest amount of events next year that we've ever had. And it doesn't scare me. It doesn't make me freak out. It's actually like, I love it. I like how do we make less? How do you make less than that? Because I think it's so it becomes a thing. Like, for example, I saw a girl last night at an event and she's engaged (inaudible) I don't know her, beautiful ring, gorgeous girl. And I legitimately didn't ask when are you getting married? They're celebrate her engagement. I didn't even ask because that is the next achievement. She just got engaged. And I was like, oh, my gosh, tell me what you've done. How did he propose? Like I was like, and then it'd be like, When is the wedding? What is this? What is this?Brad Crowell 32:02  When are you having seventeen kids?Lesley Logan 32:04  When are you having kids? And I, I was I've refused and I, only thing I said was I was like celebrating her engagement. She said, yeah, it's really stressful. I'm trying to find someone who just wants to do it for me. And I said, Brad Crowell 32:17  To do what for her?Lesley Logan 32:18  To do her wedding for her. Yeah. And I said, you know, if you want a simple piece of advice, I'll give it to you about wedding planning. But if you don't need it, I'm not gonna give it to you. And she's, well, I want it, and I said, use a project management tool and hire someone out on the stressful day. Period. Everything else is gonna be fine. And she was looking at other girls were like, looking at me, like, what and I'm, like, I was so proud because I was like, I'm not we need to stop going when are you getting married? Are you gonna have kids? Were you gonna buy a house? Like all these things that achievement, achievement, achievement, and like, it's justBrad Crowell 32:54  Just make sure that everything is the color blue and your wedding will be amazing.Lesley Logan 32:59  Watch Eliza slashing her special about weddings, you'll be fine. But like I, you know, there's certain things that I want to break as a habit. And I think one of the ways to take a break is also to give people permission to take a break. And so maybe that's when someone's celebrating engagement. Don't ask them when the wedding is. Let them tell you. They'll tell you. Brad Crowell 33:23  Oh, well, if they want to talk about it, they'll find a way. Lesley Logan 33:25  When people get married. You don't have to ask if they're having kids. They will tell you, Okay, it's like a vegan. They will tell you, you don't have to worry. Don't yell at me vegans. I am also a vegan who eats meat. But like I think it's really you can practice taking breaks and I just really love this as a Be It Action Item because like, how can you schedule in breaks after an achievement? We're doing a massive tour. Our biggest yet. We come home 24 hours later I'm on vacation. I'm on break. I'm on a break.Brad Crowell 33:59  Yeah, me too. Lesley Logan 34:00  You too. You will be you'll be on a Brad Crowell 34:02  This will be a break at home.Lesley Logan 34:03  You'll be on break at home you'll love it. I'm Lesley Logan.Brad Crowell 34:07  And I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan 34:07  Oh, before I let you go.Brad Crowell 34:09  Oh, before she lets you go. Oh, right.Lesley Logan 34:11  She's got a book.

Cory Sterling is a lawyer. But not any lawyer. Cory is a cool lawyer. A holistic health nut himself, Cory left the shiny and very corporate white-collar world of law to help health professionals set up their businesses in a way that keeps them protected.  Your number one protection is going to be watching your language and staying within your scope of practice but a very close second on the list is to have your terms and conditions, waiver, privacy policy, and client agreement all buttoned up (from a legal perspective). Good news - Cory walks us through this in a way that (believe it or not) is kind of fun! Cory's business, Conscious Counsel, provides legal counsel for creative, ambitious and heart-leading business owners who build communities and make the world a better and healthier place.  During our conversation, we get into topics such as the biggest problems coaches have getting started with the legal aspects of the business, how to navigate the law when there is no definition for health coaching, where the biggest issues with the law originate, and what Cory calls the Screenshot Defence. We also dig into how often coaches really get sued, what is and is not in the scope of practice, the legal aspect of supplements and providing diagnostics. And we cover a whole lot more in this fun conversation about the law.

In this episode, I sit down with Cory Sterling, an attorney and founder of Conscious Counsel. Cory works with both online and brick & mortar health & fitness businesses. He shares great advice on how to set up a solid legal foundation to protect you and your business. No one thinks it'll happen to them until it does but reality is that owning a business does expose you to risks, and lawsuits are one of them. Your coaching business will be better protected after this episode if you take action on Cory's 3 documents to ensure you have in your business. In this episode we dive into: 3 Agreements needed in your business Scope of practice Diet Plans & Legality Mischaracterizing employees as 1099 How to build a business that's not a house of cards How to add value to your contracts beyond hourly sessions Tune in to hear us discuss these topics and more!

Have you ever been asked to do a photo or video release shoot and been handed a lengthy release waiver with a lot of legalese- so much that you're not even sure what's appropriate & reasonable?   Too often we hear stories of fit pros, who, excited about an opportunity to work with a company, sign away the rights to the photos, workout videos, and their image for all uses, and for all time, without really understanding what they can and should do to ensure that they are being properly compensated for the usage, and that the usage supports them on their journey upward in the fitness industry and their career.   We decided to record this episode because we want to empower you as a fitness professional, creator or business owner to best make career decisions and know how to navigate conversations around recorded media and its usage.   That's why we've brought back a legal expert we've had on the show several times in the past to share with you the mindset you need to cultivate when you're presented with opportunities that involve recorded media. He'll also teach what you should look out for and be aware of when signing release waivers for these projects… and ultimately how to step into a position of personal empowerment to defend your best interests… so you can engage in clear and communicative relationships with those you share your talent and likeness with.

It's time for another Q&A session with our resident attorney, Cory Sterling. He's got answers to how to use music online legally, auto-payments, trademarks, copyrights and even covid vaccines. Cory is an attorney for wellness businesses and specifically for yoga teachers because he's a yoga teacher as well. His focus is making the law fun and he does that every time we talk. Get ready to laugh and learn in this episode! Show notes available with all links mentioned here: https://www.amandamckinney.com/podcast

As yoga teachers most of us are legally and financially out on our own; we are small business owners and independent contractors cobbling together enough work to make a living. There is much that needs to change about our systems, but today I want to start small and offer this free training on legal protections for yoga teachers and I'm so happy to introduce you to Cory Sterling (he/him)! Cory is a lawyer, small business owner, group fitness instructor and yoga teacher. He wrote The Yoga Law Book and has served hundreds of clients in the yoga, health and fitness space all across the world, the majority of whom own or operate a fitness/health studio.  I brought Cory on the podcast to answer all the questions you send me about legal protections!  He answered questions like: What is a waiver and what needs to be included in a waiver? Do waivers even count/hold up in any way if someone wanted to sue?  Do electronic waivers count or do we need printed signatures? Has there ever been a lawsuit where a student sued a yoga teacher for injuring them in a situation where this teacher only taught using verbal cues? Can teachers legally require covid vaccines of participants prior to traveling on a retreat? What specific covid-related release of liability should we have in our retreat waivers? What is the difference between a trademark, patent and copyright and when should teachers use these tools to protect their work? And so much more!  Resources Mentioned in this episode: Yoga Legal Checklist Cory on Instagram  Cory on Facebook Cory's Website

Cory Sterling is a lawyer, owner of Conscious Counsel law firm, author and yoga teacher. He joins Nathalie today from his new home in Brazil to discuss making law fun, helping people with yoga businesses avoid legal complications and the importance in building transparent relationships. With his book, ‘The Yoga Law Book: Legal Essentials for Yoga Professionals,’ Cory wanted to help people in the yoga space have a greater awareness of the legalities of business. One of the main concepts he discusses in the book is the practice of shoshin, or having a beginner’s mind. At any moment you can stop and re-evaluate life and see things anew. You can choose to see things fresh, change perspectives and be present at any time. This leads Cory to discuss relationships. In life and business, relationships are everything. By having strong, transparent relationships you are creating and opening lines of communication and building trust. This allows both sides to have aligned expectations. Practicing what he has named heart-leading law, Cory tells us the origin of his philosophy and how he brought his message to a wider audience through speaking at Wanderlust in Hawaii. This led to opening his own practice and allowed him the privilege of being able to choose his clients. To finish the episode, Cory and Nathalie talk about Conscious Counsel and Cory’s mission to make law a more fun and accessible medium.

We dive into liability, waivers, insurance, media releases, and much more!

If you're a yoga teacher and/or a business owner, you will inevitably encounter the law during your career.

Part 2 of Sheila’s update with a few of our past guests who she connected with at the MindBody BOLD conference in San Diego a couple weeks ago – and in this episode we talk to Sadie Nardini and Cory Sterling. As Sheila mentioned in the last episode, MindBody is one of her  favorite “conscious companies” in the world! Sheila uses their software to manage her strength-training studio (www.informfitnessla.com), and for the past 3 years she has attended their BOLD Conference -- and each year it gets better. Last year we were introduced to Sadie Nardini – she was doing a talk about making $6 figures while you sleep. That sounded pretty good to us, so we went to her seminar. We had no idea who Sadie was – and we were delighted to see this Fierce Rock Chick with a Mohawk up there talking about doing her own style of Yoga to “Guns n Roses” -- we were in! Not only was she an amazing teacher, she was so inspiring to help us find our own unique voice. After her one hour of time ended in the conference room, she told everyone to meet her at the pool bar and she continued to show us her social media tricks for at least another hour, while enjoying a glass of Pinot Grigio. What’s not to love! We had the chance to meet her again early this year at a BOLD event in Los Angeles and Sheila invited her to be on the podcast. She graciously said yes, and you can hear our first interview on Episode 26. This year at BOLD we connected again and had the chance to sit down at the same pool bar and talk about what she’s been up to. We also had the chance to catch up with Cory Sterling at BOLD. You might remember him from Episode 31 – he’s the Heart Leading Lawyer who calls his company Conscious Counsel. I actually told Cory about the MindBody BOLD conference – and sure enough, he showed up! He lives in Vancouver – that is, when he’s not traveling around the world! This was our first time meeting in person, and it was such a blast! Cory is an incredibly kind and intelligent person, who also happens to be a kick-ass attorney who leads with love. We ran into each other several times during the conference, and he was often barefoot – it’s so inspiring to see someone living and enjoying the present moment so fully, while also doing his work as an amazing attorney -- and it was great to sit down with him and find out what’s new with Conscious Counsel. http://sadienardini.com/ @sadienardinioffical www.counsciouscounsel.ca @consciouscounsel Check out our Sound Mind & Body YouTube Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4EanYu-gJYsBydq-i4vz2Q Contact Sheila with what's the most Woo-Woo thing you've ever done to soundmindbodypodcast@gmail.com or visit www.soundmindbodypodcast.com Sound Mind & Body is brought to you in part by Audible.  Download a FREE audio-book and enjoy a 30-day free Audible membership trial at www.audibletrial.com/InBound (NEW AUDIBLE MEMBERS ONLY) At Audible, you will find over 180,000 titles to choose from and to listen to through your iPhone, Android, Kindle or mp3 player.   Support the Sound, Mind, & Body Podcast by visiting www.audibletrial.com/InBound If interested in producing a podcast of your own, like the Sound, Mind, & Body Podcast, contact Tim Edwards at Tim@InBoundPodcasting.com

Cory Sterling - The journey by Bettina Khan

Cory Sterling grew up as a performing musician, trading a traditional childhood for the late nights of local jazz and rock clubs. After studying at Berklee College of Music, he moved to New York City where he gained an affinity for electronic music and the improvisational nature of the modular synthesizer. Combining traditional musical elements into a historically non-traditional instrument, his compositions bring melody and harmony together with rich sonic textures. His latest release, Passenger, is available now at redstripedown.bandcamp.com
