The conversation covers the importance of self-care and investing in one's own well-being and emphasizes the impact of personal wellness on others and the need for trainers to  demonstrate their commitment to self-care in order to nurture client relationships.

The Mind of an Athlete. Show Up and Do the Grunt Work.  Here we are in February. How are those New Year's Resolutions going for you? Fortune.com tells us that by the second Friday of January, most people have already missed the mark on their resolutions. It even has a name – “Quitter's Day.” Dr. Darian Parker, the 2023 IDEA Personal Trainer of the Year Recipient, is a multihyphenate entrepreneur, athlete, and a man of faith. And he is breaking open myths. On what it takes to be a Division-1 Student Athlete competing at elite levels (he was a sprinter at James Madison University). On the interior work he has to do to be a good father (as he says, “I'm always working on the inner me, so that I can help develop a better inner person for another person.”). On the reality that life is lived at its best and realest without guarantees or known outcomes but is founded on authentic love for our fellow human beings (as a professed man of faith, he is looking to love people authentically). And a question that I have pondered often – do we have to love our jobs, or is something different going on in respect to what we do versus who we are in our souls? Through his work with clients over the last two decades, Darian has learned that all we can rely on is our ability to build true relationships with one another and to make a commitment to show up every day even when the outcomes are unknown or don't go our way. In his work as a personal trainer, he won't promise his clients that they will get that long sought after six-pack or hit that number they are looking for on the scale. Oftentimes, those type of results are based on circumstances that only the client can control – the quality of their sleep, what they are actually eating, how are their personal relationships impacting their lives? Darian will guarantee that he will show up every day and be ready to face the challenge of working out alongside them. The bigger factor in the equation is will they show up for themselves. In a time when so many seek quick results and instant fame, IG likes and the social media viral moments, Darian believes that one's life doesn't bloom under the bright lights of fame, accolades, or ego. Instead, it is a nuanced dance performed in the powerful spaces of the admission “I don't know.” It is facing, even removing what he calls the Friction Points in our lives. For Dr. Parker, the real champions show up daily and do the monotonous grunt work that is a major and essential part of what we call living.At the Podium WebsiteAt the Podium on IGPatrick on IGFor more information contact Patrick at patrick@patrickhueyleadership.com

It is easier than ever to fall into close minded thinking, but if you want to thrive, you have to strive to leave that behind. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/drdarianparker/message

This podcast is for people who want to start and build their own businesses with purpose, passion, perseverance, and possibilities. Today I have a guest in an industry where somehow, we end up in whether we like it or not. So I would like to introduce you to Dr Darian Parker. Dr Darian Parker is a co-owner of Epic leisure management. He has almost 20 years' experience in the exercise industry as a corporate executive, personal trainer and an education provider. So Darian, welcome. 00:55 Darian: Thank you so much Ramesh. I appreciate you having me on. I'm looking forward to speaking with you. 00:59 Ramesh: Excellent. Excellent. So Dr Darien Parker. So what's your doctorate in Darian? 01:05 Darian: It is in sports education leadership. I got it from the university of Nevada, Las Vegas. And the emphasis of it is in behavior modification and sports and exercise settings. 01:18 Ramesh: Excellent. So it's interesting when I looked at your company's name, Epic leisure management, so that did not ring a balance. That's okay. So they are in the leisure management. Then I went and started reading more into it. You're in the exercise industry, you provide consultation to entities about health and wellness. So what's the leisure about it? 01:42 Darian: Well, most of the people we work with, they're in the leisure industry. Leisure, meaning that they're basically in the amenity business. So they have health and wellness amenities either in hotels like hotel gyms, spas, private residential communities where there's a private gym or a combination spa fitness facility or in kind of your corporate campus setting. And we're even working in kind of your high-end boutique fitness facilities as well. 02:15 Ramesh: So essentially, you're working with entities who don't have expertise in building these kinds of facilities, but you have the expertise, so you provide your expertise in terms of conservation. Is that how it works? 02:28 Darian: Yes. Yes, definitely. What's interesting is we're always kind of, you have to explain a lot about what you do when we're doing it because people go, well, you have a gym or you have a spa, you know, we just hire some people to run it. But generally what happens is these spas, these fitness facilities, boutique facilities, but primarily let's say your hotels, private residential facilities are owned by developers and the developer, their business is not health and wellness amenities. They just know that they need that in that facility. So often what happens is they just hire somebody that they think would fit that and they say, Hey, run this spa, run this fitness facility. And then generally what happens is they recognize that they weren't really understanding how to actually hire somebody to increase the revenue, provide really great customer service,

Hi, and welcome to The My Future Business Show!Today, I had the pleasure of spending time with Dr Darian Parker who co-founded Epic Leisure Management [ELM]. ELM's primary services include providing consultancy services and managing spa, fitness and recreational amenities.To give some context for the call, Darian earned his PHD in Sports Education Leadership with an emphasis on Behavior Modification from the University of Nevada Las Vegas. He also holds Masters and Bachelor degrees through the James Madison University, which focuses on Exercise Leadership, Athletic Administration and Advanced Coaching. Add to that, he is also a certified personal trainer.Darian has always been deeply involved with sports, fitness and lifestyle design. He loves helping to educate people about the benefits that come with having an active and healthy lifestyle, and he encourages people to live life to the fullest.  On this call, Darian and I have a conversation about his personal training program, and how he uses the internet to offer his personal training services from the comfort of your own home. This was fascinating to me, and I can see how this approach is very popular with his clients.In relation to his online personal training service, Darian realized that there is a demand from people who love to stay fit, but don't have the extra time to travel to the gym, or to find someone to take care of their children so they can maintain a health active lifestyle. In fact, many of his clients are busy business people who travel a lot and don't have a great deal of spare time to stay active.Moving over to the other side of this wonderful conversation, Darian and I talked at length about his business Epic Leisure Management, and how it came about. Epic Leisure Management works with developers of residential community planners, hotels owners and corporations, and provides consultancy and management services.This is was a great interview with really interesting insights, so get comfortable and enjoy the call.For more information about Epic Leisure Management, or to contact Darian directly, click the following link...Thanks again Darian, for being my guest on The My Future Business Show!Rick NuskePS: To get in front of your best audience and stay there, click the book your interview button below.Thanks for joining us on the show today, and if you liked this call, support the show by clicking on our big red YouTube subscribe button below, and share us with your friends.

The fitness industry has a very fragmented and difficult to understand training and credentialing process. Hundreds of different certifications and significant diversity in university curricula leave many, inside and outside, of our industry confused. This confusion leads to an uncertain path for fitness professionals and limits trust with medical professionals, government officials and the broader public. This conversation explores the future state of training and credentialing in the fitness industry and what needs to be change to shift our industry professionals on the trajectory to being qualified healthcare professionals.Main Audio Narrators:Michael Stack, Host of the Wellness Paradox Podcasthttps://www.wellnessparadoxpod.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-stack-b74a5319/Dr. Darian Parker, Host of Dr. D's Social Network Podcasthttps://doctordarianparker.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/darianparker/Additional Audio Contributor Credits:Dr. Amy Banthamhttps://www.movetolivemore.com/leadershiphttps://www.linkedin.com/in/amybantham/Graham Melstrandhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/grahammelstrand/http://www.usreps.org/Pages/default.aspxMusic Credits:HoliznaCCO - Dog Days (freemusicarchive.org)HolizanCCO - The Heat (freemusicarchive.org)HoliznaCCO - Exploring Tomorrow Part 1 (freemusicarchive.org)HoliznaCCO - Strange Signal (freemusicarchive.org)

If the fitness industry is truly to become part of the healthcare delivery system, an understanding of the healthcare policy ecosystem is essential. Our industry did not think of public policy and legislation prior to the pandemic, but this period of time has put into stark relief the importance of doing so. This discussion will provide an understandable “look under the hood” of the current healthcare landscape and policy decisions that will drive a change towards value-based care. Understanding this shift in national healthcare policy will be critical as the fitness industry shifts towards becoming a legitimate stakeholder in the healthcare delivery system.Main Audio Narrators:Michael Stack, Host of the Wellness Paradox Podcasthttps://www.wellnessparadoxpod.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-stack-b74a5319/Dr. Darian Parker, Host of Dr. D's Social Network Podcasthttps://doctordarianparker.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/darianparker/Additional Audio Contributor Credits:Liz Clark https://www.ihrsa.org/about/staff/liz-clark/https://www.linkedin.com/in/liz-clark-8763516/Francis Neric https://www.acsm.org/blog-detail/acsm-certified-blog/2017/10/03/francis-nerichttps://www.linkedin.com/in/fneric/Music Credits:HoliznaCC0 - Life Is A Poem And You Are My Friend (Freeemusicarchive.org)Six Umbrellas - Longest Summer (Freemusicarchive.org)Six Umbrellas - Rally (Freemusicarchive.org)Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/dr-ds-social-network/donations

The existential threat that the pandemic caused in the fitness industry is starting to subside. Those left standing are tasked with a challenging two-part future. First, we must rebuild an industry that has lost over one-third brick and mortar clubs, and tens of thousands of jobs. Secondly, we must aid in addressing the public health crisis of the declining physical and mental health of our nation. In this final episode of our four part series, we will explore what the fitness industry must do to meet these daunting challenges. The industry is more than capable of doing so, but only with the right focus and plan. This episode explores that focus and broader plan that moves the industry onto the healthcare continuum.Main Audio Narrators:Michael Stack, Host of the Wellness Paradox Podcasthttps://www.wellnessparadoxpod.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-stack-b74a5319/Dr. Darian Parker, Host of Dr. D's Social Network Podcasthttps://doctordarianparker.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/darianparker/Additional Audio Contributor Credits:Doug Ribleyhttps://www.douglasaribley.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/doug-ribley-ms-fmfa-b5879212/Music Credits:Jim Hall - Elsewhere (freemusicarchive.org)Crash Normal - 80's (freemusicarchive.org)Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/dr-ds-social-network/donations
