Podcasts about Gut Check

In this mid-year solo episode, I'm getting real with you—no guests, no fluff. Just a straight talk on why you might be the one holding yourself back in real estate right now. It's not the market. It's not the economy. It's not the tools. It's how you're thinking, what you're prioritizing, and whether or not you're actually committed to your escape plan.   I unpack why now—yes, now—is one of the best times I've seen in my 33+ years in the business to get started in creative real estate. And I challenge you with some deep gut-check questions to figure out where you really are, where you want to go, and what's stopping you from getting there.   Whether you're a W2 employee thinking of leaving your job, a burned-out landlord, or a wholesaler leaving deals on the table—this is your call to action.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 02:15 Who this is for: newbies, stuck pros, burned-out landlords 03:12 Gut Check #1: Where are you right now? 05:01 Gut Check #2: Where will you be in 2030 if nothing changes? 06:51 Why most people don't commit: trust, clarity, and money mindset 10:38 The market is not the problem—you are 12:25 Long-term view: why price doesn't matter when you hold creatively 16:54 How to get in the Apprentice Program for FREE 18:40 Bonus resource: exclusive distressed lead list from Landvoice 19:10 Bonus resource: custom CRM built with REI BlackBook 21:01 Is one deal per month possible in creative real estate? 22:37 Opportunity finds a path—don't let it pass you by 23:22 Landlords, realtors, wholesalers, W2 earners 25:40 In the Trenches Bootcamp, QLS Live, and how to plug in now Quotables   “If you're not happy with your job, what the heck are you still doing there?”   “Opportunity is like water—it finds a path.

We have a weird situation: We've elected two new governments at both upper levels in the last four months and the hope is that they can turn things around, and yet, these are also, essentially, the old governments. How can we possibly expect better results from the new old people in charge, and are we even more alone than ever here on the local level? We'll put this to one of the people whose job it is to advocate. This week, the Ontario government announced something novel: changing municipal planning rules and fees to make the construction of housing faster. Despite the numerous regulations rolled back and the growing amount of money deferred from municipal coffers, Ontario is at the bottom in Canada in terms of housing starts. As for the federal government, well, it remains to be seen what exactly Mark Carney can deliver over and above his predecessor. One of the groups designed to help co-ordinate the needs of fighting poverty locally is the Guelph & Wellington Task Force for Poverty Elimination, whose goal is to work collaboratively, and informed by diverse voices of experience, to take local action and advocate for system and policy change to address the root causes of poverty. It's a worthy mission, but one that's getting harder to accomplish as community frustrations about higher costs and limited options. So, can we still fulfill the project of eliminating poverty? Dominica McPherson, who is the director of the Task Force for will talk about the current state of advocacy with all three levels of government and whether or not things have gotten better or worse on the poverty file in the last few years. She will also talk about why the focus needs to be on permanent housing solutions, how Guelph and Wellington have actually done well on developing those options and how we can keep that momentum going forward. Also, what are the efforts the task force is undertaking right now? So let's stay on mission with this week's edition of the Guelph Politicast! You can learn more about the Guelph & Wellington Task Force for Poverty Elimination and get involved at their website. After recording this interview I did get an update that the Wellington-Guelph Health and Housing Community Planning Table will be releasing a report about the work that's been done since the Health and Housing Symposium next month, so stay tuned for more information sometime mid-June The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Pedram Shojai to dive into the fascinating connection between your gut and your overall health. We break down neuroception — how your body subconsciously scans for safety — and why it plays such a critical role in healing and performance. We get into the gut's “second brain,” the enteric nervous system, and how it drives your physical and mental well-being without you even realizing it. Dr. Shojai also shares real-world insights on tackling dysbiosis, understanding gut-immune symbiosis, and how simple lifestyle shifts can radically improve your health. If you've ever wondered how stress, gut health, and the nervous system all tie together — and how to actually use that knowledge to feel better — this is an episode you won't want to miss. Key Takeaways: Understanding Neuroception: Neuroception refers to the subconscious detection of safety or threat in the body, playing a crucial role in both gut health and overall well-being. Gut as an Immune Organ: The gut houses the majority of the body's immune cells, acting as a critical barrier between the inside of the body and external threats. Role of Stress in Gut Health: Chronic stress can disrupt gut microbiota, leading to issues like dysbiosis and gut permeability, thereby affecting mental health. Food Sensitivities: Identifying and avoiding food sensitivities can prevent chronic inflammation, leading to better overall health. Holistic Approaches to Wellness: Emphasizing mind-body practices, such as meditation and breath work, can improve gut health by promoting a balanced parasympathetic state.   More About Dr. Pedram Shojai: Dr. Pedram Shojai is a man with many titles.

You've defined your values. But are you still living them — or just assuming you are?In this episode of Relationships at Work, we unpack the overlooked side of values in leadership. Not the usual “define your top five” — but the deeper, messier question of alignment. Are your values still showing up in how you lead, decide, and interact? Or have they quietly drifted out of sync with your environment… and yourself?This episode explores how to test your values at work, why misalignment sneaks up on us, and how self-awareness and situational awareness play a critical role in staying grounded as a leader. Because living out of sync with your values doesn't just affect you — it erodes trust, clarity, and the culture you're trying to build.And connect with me for more great content!

"Our gut microbiome had a big deal in protecting us and teaching the immune system who's a good guy, who's a bad guy." - Dr. Steven Gundry I welcome back controversial cardiologist-turned-nutrition expert Dr. Steven Gundry to discuss his latest book, Gut Check, where he shares groundbreaking insights on how our microbiome influences everything from mental clarity to longevity. As a former heart surgeon who now sees patients six days a week, Dr. Gundry revealed why both neurologists and cardiologists are now obsessed with gut health—because as Hippocrates said 2,500 years ago, "All disease begins in the gut."

"Our gut microbiome had a big deal in protecting us and teaching the immune system who's a good guy, who's a bad guy." - Dr. Steven Gundry I welcome back controversial cardiologist-turned-nutrition expert Dr. Steven Gundry to discuss his latest book, Gut Check, where he shares groundbreaking insights on how our microbiome influences everything from mental clarity to longevity. As a former heart surgeon who now sees patients six days a week, Dr. Gundry revealed why both neurologists and cardiologists are now obsessed with gut health—because as Hippocrates said 2,500 years ago, "All disease begins in the gut." We explored how leaky gut leads to systemic inflammation and accelerated aging, plus practical ways to repair your gut barrier and restore your internal "tropical rainforest" of beneficial bacteria.

This is a very important Monday because this is the first Monday of the second quarter, and it's time for a major gut check and assessment of where you are against your number coming out of Q1, and what you need to adjust and think about as we move into Q2. Start with setting aside a dedicated, focused time block of one to two hours for reviewing your: Q1 Results Current state of your pipeline 2025 goals & personal business plan Evaluate Your Q1 Performance Against Your Sales Goals Begin with an honest evaluation of your Q1 sales performance. It's likely that your performance falls into one of three scenarios:  You Crushed It – You had a killer quarter, blew away your goals, and you are walking on cloud nine.  You Hit Quota – You're on track and right where you are supposed to be against your number You are in trouble – You missed your number, are behind quota, and are feeling the pressure. Incredible Quarter. Crushing It! If You Crushed It, and you're on the top of the ranking report: Congratulations, this is exactly where you want to be at the end of Q1. Being ahead of your number now is an insurance policy against unforeseen setbacks in the future.  It also can make life much easier if your sales plan and quota gets bigger in the back half of the year as many do.  The most important thing you can do right now is conduct a deep dive analysis of your pipeline. It's not unusual to work hard to close so many deals at the end of the quarter that you start off in a weak position at the beginning of the quarter.  Get your calculator out and do the math on how much you need in your pipeline to crush your Q2 number. Then get to work immediately building the pipe you need to hit that goal.  Do not wait to do this. With a great quarter behind you, the temptation will be there to take a breather and take your foot off of the accelerator. After all, you deserve it. But be very careful because if your pipeline needs work, the failure to take immediate action will come back to bite you.  If you feel a bit burned out from working so hard to deliver such a great quarter, it might make sense to take a few days off to rest, recover, and recommit to your goals or raise the bar with stretch goals. You've set the foundation for what could be a massive year and a trip to the President's Club. Take advantage of what you accomplished in Q1 to get even better in Q2. On Quota. On Track. If you hit your quota in Q1 and ended up right where you should be: Nice job! Quota isn't easy to achieve. You've executed and done exactly what your company asked you to do. You've kept your promise.  Your biggest challenge now is that it's not going to get any easier as the year progresses. You'll need to keep executing and keep grinding.  For you, this is a good time to step back and take a look at what is working well for you, where you can improve, and where you might have gotten off track. It's a good time to reacquaint yourself with the basics and fundamentals that create success in both sales and your industry.  Of course, after battling it out in Q1 you may need to refill your tank. This is the perfect time to double down on investing in yourself. With so much volatility in the market place at the moment, I highly recommend listening to my book Selling in a Crisis on Audible or Spotify or taking my courses on Selling During Uncertainty on Sales Gravy University.  I've always found that investing in myself and learning gives me a boost of energy and motivation when I need it the most.   Bad Quarter, In Trouble If you had a bad Q1 and you are behind your number, then you are likely in trouble and are feeling the pressure. You might already have been put on a plan, which is not fun. The good news is that this is survivable, if you choose to survive. I know this isn't where you want to be. No one tanks their sales number on purpose. But where you are now is almost always a result of small s...

Gut Check: Dr Laurie Keefer on Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy by Gastroenterology Learning Network

Story at-a-glance Gut bacteria called Morganella morganii produce unusual fats that contain diethanolamine (DEA), an environmental micropollutant; the fats trigger inflammation that contribute to major depressive disorder The gut-brain axis operates bidirectionally — gut dysbiosis causes systemic inflammation that affects your brain while brain inflammation disrupts gut health Disruptions in gut bacteria lead to increased intestinal permeability, or "leaky gut," which allows harmful substances to enter your bloodstream and trigger systemic inflammation Neuroinflammation shifts tryptophan metabolism toward the kynurenine pathway, which produces substances that contribute to glutamate excitotoxicity, in turn damaging brain cells and contributing to depression Restoring gut health requires a comprehensive approach, including eliminating seed oils, avoiding endocrine disruptors, optimizing carbohydrate intake and carefully introducing beneficial bacteria like Akkermansia muciniphila

TD Cowen upgraded Tesla (TSLA) to Buy from Hold and ramped up its price target to $388 from $180. Jeff Pierce notes the company's promise in EVs and robotics that the firm sees in Tesla, adding the start of an "innovation cycle" can thrust the stock back to all-time highs. However, Dan Deming sees "potential for further downside" before that happens. He offers a neutral to bullish example options trade for Tesla.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

On this first Monday of the second month of the year it's time for a gut check. First we need to check where we are against our new year goals. Next we need to take stock of our first month sales performance and make adjustments. We're just a little more than thirty days away from our new year intentions, resolutions, and goals. A month ago we set out into the new year with hope and ambition that this year would be our best ever and that we'd make positive lasting changes in our lives.  It's Easy to Slip Off the Track You'll remember that discipline is sacrificing what you want now for what you want most. But as time goes by and sticking with new habits gets more challenging, it's easy to  forget what motivated us to make the changes in the first place. It's easy to let down our guard and go back to our comfort zone. The farther away we get our intentions, the more likely it is that we allow our discipline to slip and get off track. It's just human nature.  Small Slips in Discipline Can Add Up Quickly Let's say you kicked off the new year determined to have your best sales year ever, and you knew that meant filling your pipeline daily by getting Fanatical about Prospecting. But upon reflection, you realize that days have passed since you picked up the phone, knocked on a door, or talked with customers.  You've been making excuses to avoid the very activities that move you closer to your goals. I'll admit that it happened to me just this past week. This month has been non-stop travel—12 flights, 10 cities, 8 keynotes, 5 full days delivering training to sales teams. Toward the end of the week I got tired, made excuses and let my exercise and nutrition routine slide.  This was something I promised myself I wouldn't do when the year started. I know that if I don't stop right now and recommit to my goals, there is a good chance that I'll continue down this negative path—because it's easy. Revisit Your Goals and Resolutions This is exactly why NOW is a good time for a gut check and a look in the mirror. Pause and carve out time today, to revisit your goals, resolutions, and intentions.  Sit down and think about what you decided to achieve back in early January. Visualize what it was that motivated you. Picture what you want most and where you want to be at the end of this year.  Go back and re-listen to the Money Monday episodes on building a personal business plan, reflection vs. regret, and why personal goals are essential for sales discipline. Then recommit to your goals. Remember the feelings you had when you set them, and make an intentional decision to get back on track. Evaluate Your First Month's Performance Against Your Sales Goals Next, step back and evaluate your first month's sales performance. As you do, you'll likely find one of three scenarios: You Crushed It – You had a killer month and blew your goals out of the water. You Were Average – You hit quota or did “okay,” but you know you're capable of much higher performance. You Bombed – You missed your number and ended the month worse than you hoped. Great Sales Month If You Crushed it, and you're on the top of the ranking report fantastic, congratulations! But be very careful not to let off the gas. It's likely you worked very hard last month to achieve these results. There will be the temptation to take a breather.  Trust me, if you do, this complacency will come back to bite you.  Now is the time to recommit to doing the activity that fueled your success last month so you don't end up with a lackluster February and a disastrous March. In other words, you've set the foundation for a huge year, take advantage of what you have accomplished and keep the pedal to the metal! Average Sales Month If you had an average or just ok month—maybe you hit quota, maybe you came close, but you know you've got more in the tank—it's time for some honest self-reflection. Ask yourself:
