Have you ever looked at someone who's done something so extraordinary that you thought, “I could never do that”? What if you could, and it simply meant changing the way you think?In this episode of the Visibly Fit Podcast, I sit down with Joe Gagnon, a man who has proven that what seems impossible is often just the beginning. At age 39, Joe was not an athlete. But he decided to make a change.

His story is proof that it's never too late to start fresh, to rewrite your narrative, and to push past self-imposed limits.If you've ever felt stuck, too old to start, or overwhelmed by the thought of change, Joe's wisdom will encourage you to take one intentional step at a time toward the extraordinary life God designed for you.Chapters:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:15] Topic and Guest Introduction[03:32] Introduction to Joe Gagnon and His Journey[06:36] The Breakout: From Average to Athlete[08:18] The Marathon Challenge: Six Marathons in Six Days[11:30] Why Self-Care Must Come First[14:24] The Power of Mindset in Pushing Limits[18:22] Finding Your Why: The Importance of Purpose[23:32] The Five Pillars of a High-Performance Life[27:58] Embracing Discomfort and Reframing Life's Challenges[28:40] The Journey to Plant-Based Living[31:47] Understanding Personal Choices and Their Impact[36:00] Taking the First Step Towards Change[38:03] Building a Success Plan and Celebrating Progress[41:17] Curiosity and Lifelong Learning[43:41] Where to Find Joe's Book Living Intentionally[45:17] Fun Family Traditions & Giving Back[47:08] Final Thoughts and ResourcesResources mentioned:Book: Living Intentionally by Joe GagnonEmail: jgagnon232@gmail.comDaily Blog: joecurious.substack.comWebsite: thehighperformancelife.netInstagram: @thehighperformancelifeLinkedIn: Joe Gagnon on LinkedInVisibly Fit 7-Week Accelerator ProgramConnect with today's guest:Joe Gagnon is a CEO, high-performance coach, endurance athlete, and author of Living Intentionally.

Unlock Your Potential: The Keys to Financial Freedom & Inspiring Others!

In a world where community needs are ever-growing and resources often stretched thin, the annual Community Connect & Serve event in Winchester, Virginia, stands as a beacon of hope and collaboration. In this episode of “The Valley Today,” host Janet Michael gathered with a dynamic group of organizers and participants to pull back the curtain on this unique event, revealing how it's reshaping the way nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and everyday citizens come together to serve. The conversation, recorded in the midst of a committee meeting at Winchester's CCAP, was lively and candid. Janet was joined by Andrea Cosans and Lily Paccadolmis both from Winchester CCAP, Shannon Atkinson-Ganoe, Andy Gail from United Way NSV, Melinda Topham from JustServe.org, and Bishop BJ Custer from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - each representing a different facet of the community's volunteer ecosystem. The group traced the event's origins to a simple desire: to create a “one-stop shop” for volunteers and nonprofits to connect, collaborate, and address local needs more effectively. What began as a networking session has blossomed into a three-part gathering: a nonprofit collaboration forum, showcase of available resources for the faith-based community, and a public volunteer fair. Bishop Custer shared how the event opened his eyes to the wealth of organizations ready to help, and how it inspired his congregation's youth to get involved in everything from stocking shelves to making teddy bears for local charities. The panel emphasized that the event is open to all—parents, students, retirees, and anyone looking to give back. Whether you're a “one-and-done” volunteer or someone seeking a long-term commitment, there's a place for you. The discussion also delved into the practical impact of volunteering. Lily, CCAP's operations manager, highlighted how volunteers are the backbone of their organization, contributing hours equivalent to 10 or 11 full-time staff. The dollar value of these hours is staggering, but the real value lies in the relationships built and the sense of purpose volunteers gain. Melinda and Andrea reflected on how the event has sparked new collaborations, support groups, and even “group therapy” sessions for nonprofit leaders facing similar challenges. Perhaps most inspiring were the personal stories: youth discovering the joy of service, community service workers returning as core volunteers, and families finding new ways to bond while helping others. The event's ripple effect is evident in the formation of new leadership groups and the strengthening of ties between organizations that might otherwise operate in silos. As the episode wrapped up, the group encouraged listeners to attend the upcoming event, emphasizing its open-door policy and the wealth of opportunities available. For those unable to attend, platforms like JustServe.org offer ongoing ways to get involved. The message was clear: in Winchester, service isn't just an obligation—it's a source of pride, connection, and lasting change. Whether you're a seasoned volunteer or just curious about giving back, Community Connect & Serve offers a powerful reminder that when a community comes together, everyone benefits.

September 9, 2025 ~ Lew Paugh and Lance Parrish join Kevin to discuss the importance of giving back and the work the Ted Lindsay Foundation does for the community.

Philanthropy can change the way we think about business when it's treated as part of the culture rather than an afterthought. How does a company grow stronger when it gives back to the community that supports it? And how can service outside of work shape the kind of leader someone becomes?   Sarah Lockwood talks with Brianna Borin, Chief Operating Officer of Snooze A.M. Eatery, about the lessons she has learned from nearly two decades of weaving community impact into her work. Brianna shares how Snooze's early days of volunteering at the Denver Rescue Mission set the tone for a company-wide approach that now includes programs like the Changemaker initiative and long-term partnerships with organizations such as Urban Peak. She also reflects on her own leadership development through board service, youth mentorship, and global volunteer experiences that have deepened her sense of personal satisfaction and purpose.   Listeners can learn more about supporting youth experiencing homelessness through Urban Peak's Urban Nights Kicks & Culture Sneaker Ball at urbanpeak.org/urban-nights. Brianna also recommends Tommy Spaulding's books, The Heart-Led Leader and The Gift of Influence, which have shaped her vision of philanthropy and leadership. Her story and these resources show how integrating service into business not only builds stronger communities but also creates deeper fulfillment for leaders and their teams.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Philanthropy and Service as a Business Value 02:03 Brianna Borin's Journey with Snooze A.M.

One of the themes that often comes up on the show is giving back to the community. Today I wanted to highlight two guests who instantly come to mind when talking about giving back—the incredible heart surgeon, Sir Magdi Yacoub and META's Regional Director, Fares Akkad.  This episode is part of our new segment, Double-Take, where I take a deep-dive into a single topic and connect the dots between some of our best conversations. When I spoke to Fares in late 2023, he had just come back from visiting the Za'atari Refugee Camp, where Meta has established a digital literacy program. And while Professor Yacoub already had a distinguished career as a cardiothoracic surgeon, he's leaving behind an even bigger legacy through his charity, Chain of Hope, building long-term impact on the lives of the children in developing communities.

"The core difference is, instead of, once you've paid your employees and your expenses, what's left, instead of it just enriching the investors, it's given away to good causes." —Alex Amouyel   What if doing good didn't mean giving up your paycheck or your dreams? Maybe you're tired of hearing that business and kindness can't mix, or you wonder if your small actions really matter. Here's a fresh look at how purpose and profit can work together—and why your impact might be bigger than you think. Alex Amouyel has spent her career making a difference, from global nonprofits to leading Newman's Own Foundation. Her journey proves you don't have to choose between success and giving back. She brings bold, practical ideas for anyone who wants to build a business—or a life—that does real good. Hit play to get inspired and get real.

Her recent TED Talk, Can Salad Dressing Transform Capitalism?, explores the “100% for Purpose” movement and what it can teach us about doing business, philanthropy, and capitalism differently. Prior to her role at Newman's Own Foundation, Alex led MIT Solve as its Founding Executive Director with a mission to drive innovation to solve world challenges. She steered MIT Solve's growth to support over 268 Solver teams and Indigenous Communities Fellows, catalyzed over $60 million in commitments, and brokered more than 600 transformational partnerships. She also navigated the organization's response to the global pandemic, launched a Health Security & Pandemics Challenge, and expanded Solve's work on racial equity in the United States, including launching Solve's Indigenous Communities Fellowship and the Black & Brown Innovators Program.

With only a high school education, he founded The Targeted Strategies Group (TTSG), Canada's premier brokerage firm focused on helping entrepreneurs protect and grow their wealth through life insurance strategies. At 40, Garnet lost 130 pounds, sparking a lifelong passion for personal growth, fitness, and mindset. He's living proof that it's never too late to change your story. 17 Runs is also his first book.We dive into how 17 Runs came to life, the real stories behind the pages, and the lessons learned from both failure and redemption. We explore why mentorship matters more than ever, how to identify and remove self-limiting beliefs, and the importance of building a "chosen family" that sees your greatness—even when you forget it yourself.Garnet and Olivia also share how generosity isn't just about writing a check—it's about showing up with your full heart and giving your time, energy, and presence. We jam on building wealth through habits, living with humility, and finding meaning beyond just chasing dollar signs.Some big takeaways from this convo:Your purpose is tied to solving problems for others. That's how you build a business—and a life—that matters.Relationships shape your reality. Curate your circle like your future depends on it—because it does.Self-limiting beliefs often come from childhood—but they don't have to stay with you forever.Generosity, empathy, and service are cornerstones of real success.Humility isn't weakness—it's a superpower in leadership and life.If you're ready to build a life that's rich in meaning, grounded in purpose, and fueled by connection—this episode is for you.In this episode, we cover: -The Motivation Behind Writing '17 Runs' -Building Trust and Mentorship -Removing Self-Limiting Beliefs -Choosing Your Inner Circle -Money Habits for Entrepreneurs -Lessons in Generosity and Wealth -Philanthropy and Giving Back -Finding Meaning Beyond Money -The Importance of Balance in Life -Empathy and Personal Growth -Leadership and Humility -Key Takeaways from 17 Runs -The Journey of Learning and Growth -Connecting with the Audience -Final Thoughts and ReflectionsWhat does Happy Hustlin mean to you? Garnet says it's kind of how I live my life.
