Has your memory of things past and the negativity that stuck with it failed you? Does it seem like nothing is making traction, and you are all the more stuck where you are? You may be allowing past failures to define you, and it has limited you to a certain extent to discourage you from taking the next step to reach your goal. Have you taken a look at what you do to yourself when things don't go well midstream when reaching for those goals?  How do you make yourself be pulled towards your vision and goal consistently?

He doubles down the importance of the language you use as words have a substantial impact on projecting how things should happen. And it's best to avoid words that create pressure and anxiety. Make things free-flowing, making them become just a way of life. "If you could just separate from all the stuff that has gotten in your way -- the belief systems, the structures, the cultural ways of being you've learned from your family, from your community, from your friends, and step into the version of you that you want to step into, based on what you want to create as a possibility, that's powerful.

Michael Stanwyck is the co-founder of The Whole Life Challenge, an idea that developed during his seven years as a coach and gym manager at CrossFit Los Angeles. He graduated from UCLA with a BA in philosophy as well as a degree from the Southern California School of Culinary Arts, and feels food is one of the most important parts of a life - it can nourish, heal, and bring people together. Michael believes health and well-being are as much a state of mind as they are a state of the body, and when it comes to fitness, food, and life in general, he thinks slow is often much better than fast. Stopping regularly to examine things is the surest way to put down roots and grow. He knows he will never be done with his own work, and believes the best thing you can do for your well-being starts with working from where you are right now.

In our outer world, we can have everything; money, fame, strength, beauty, and still be empty inside, without feeling anything, without having anything that makes us feel complete or even happy. Suffering from internal wounds that we have not taken the time to heal and that we have created a shell so strong that we have not allowed ourselves to cry. This is a beautiful episode of self-improvement, an episode that tells a fascinating transition story about the life of Andy Petranek. Andy, an ex-marine, entrepreneur, and coach, is also my mentor, whom I appreciate so much and wanted to invite him today so that he can tell us his story.

You may remember Jack Osbourne from the hit TV show The Osbournes. He’s the son of the heavy metal singer Ozzie Osbourne and is a regular member at CrossFit Los Angeles.   Jack has a thriving business producing travel and history shows alongside his dad (who’s a closet history buff). He’s also a husband and a father to two daughters.   But the reason I wanted to have him as a guest on the show was to talk about his experience with addiction and getting sober as a teenager, as well as his diagnosis with multiple sclerosis (MS).   Before the age of eighteen, Jack had become addicted to painkillers, recognized it, and then willingly went to rehab, kicking it without relapse — he’s now fourteen years sober and counting.   Not long after kicking painkillers, he got the sort of news that any human being who’s been to the doctor with strange symptoms dreads. He learned he has MS.   Jack didn’t tuck his tail under and run. Quite the opposite. He’s lives his life openly and honestly, sharing his trials and tribulations with the world in an effort to shed more light on this disease and to help others in need live with it.   Join me for this great conversation with Jack. Here are some of the things we speak about: The unexpected twists and turns of life as a teenager - and how he pulled through The adventure of a lifetime, climbing El Capitan - a 3,000 ft. sheer granite wall in Yosemite, CA How choosing adventures or events that inspire you can pull you toward your goals Getting “this chick” pregnant and getting married His first symptoms of MS - “de-nial” is not just a river in Africa His belief that, “Where you are at 30 is where you are with the rest of your life,” and how that helped him Commitment to 3 days/week of training - start of changing life Getting his “life straight” through the Whole Life Challenge Catching Leptospirosis in the jungles of Borneo The process of detoxing to cleanse his body Process goals vs. outcome goals The importance of community in fitness and training Andy’s discovery of CrossFit - the early days

You may have seen this week’s guest on a random Saturday afternoon while watching the Olympics or an extreme sports show with guys hucking themselves off of 100-foot cliffs on mountain bikes. Sal Masekela has been hosting shows like this for NBC and Red Bull for many years, and is currently the persona of the Red Bull Signature Series. But I know Sal through his participation with our fitness community at CrossFit Los Angeles, of which he was a member for over 5 years, and subsequently, his journey as a four-time veteran of the Whole Life Challenge.   Sal leads a pretty incredible life, traveling to all parts of the earth with some of the world’s greatest extreme athletes (surf, skate, snowboard, ski, dirt bike, mountain bike, etc.) in order to bring their exploits and amazing performances alive for the rest of us via TV. He also gets a chance to hang out with these guys outside of competition. During the podcast, he shares both stories and profound learnings from the likes of Laird Hamilton, Gabby Reece, and Kelly Slater (who he hangs with regularly).   Though his life is glamorous, he struggles just like the rest of us with his personal health and fitness, challenged by the uniqueness of his schedule, lifestyle and habits. He’s incredibly open about his life and shares with us many of his personal daily habits and how he makes sure to get them in each day.   Join me for a conversation about the journey and joy of life, and some profound learnings from the life and experiences of Sal Masekela.

This week we’re back with the crew and have a fun episode to share with you.    We had Kenny Kane and Andy Galpin join us at our local outdoor training spot in Encinitas. We wanted to bring Kenny on to talk about his ideas on coaching and this concept we all have heard about called mastery. Kenny has been in the coaching game for as long as CrossFit has been around, and started CrossFit Los Angeles in 2004. He has worked with 1000s of athletes and now is most passionate about working on helping coaches get better at coaching.    Kenny shares with us the evolution of his coaching experience and dives into concepts such as how he sets up his programming at CFLA and how to plan out specific styles of training days, to some deeper ideas like "the difference between doing athletic things and being an athlete, and how to find purpose in your training.    Give this show a listen to hear our thoughts on the topic. Then I want hear what this means to you.    You might reach enlightenment, or just get a few laughs and some new knowledge at the least.   Maybe this will motivate you to choose something a little more specific, put a deadline on it, so it will get your @$$ in gear.   If you’re feeling bored with your current program, tired of training without purpose, and want to have a blast working toward a common goal with a bunch of other super motivated people, come join us and see what is possible.   This week, the doors open for the Muscle Gain Challenge. We built this program for those who want to get stronger, build more muscle, and lift heavy. We are now accepting new athletes into the program. If you want to add some serious muscle mass, get stronger and boost your confidence with heavy barbells, then we are looking forward to having you in our program!
