Show Notes Lawrence and I begin the show reminiscing about chocolates, or rather how I first remember meeting Lawrence after he took my step class at the Reebok Sports Club, as it was known at the time. After class he gave me the most delicious chocolate truffles, and so of course from the very beginning he held a special place in my heart. Lawrence shares how he got into fitness out of necessity because he was the fat kid from Philly. His Father died when he was 18 and when the doctor said "you're next," Lawrence decided to make some changes, including beginning to workout, which led him into his career of fitness and wellness. Lawrence obtained his ACE Gold certification and started teaching in college while he was also working on his masters in communication. After college and while teaching part-time, Lawrence worked for American Airlines teaching their emergency procedures, which was amazingly and coincidentally related to fitness and health and the beginning of diversifying his career, which is a running theme throughout our conversation. We talk further about the importance of having diversity within what we offer, regardless of our career, and also the importance of seeing yourself as a business, even if you love what you are doing. Passion is wonderful, but passion alone does not pay the bills. Lawrence gives us a fantastic exercise to do so that we can look at where we spend our time and how that input of time is related to our output of income. Take out a pen and paper. Put all that you do in terms of where you place your focus in a row at the top of the page. Underneath each row put all the tasks that are associated with that item. List how much time is spent in each column. At the bottom of each row write down how much that particular project adds income to your bank account. Notice if where you spend most of your time also brings in most of your revenue, or is at least moving you closer to building a profitable business. Depending on the results it may be time to reevaluate how and where you place your focus and spend your time. Lawrence talks about the importance of having great mentors. He also goes a step further and believes we all need two mentors, one who is in the industry that you are working in, and one outside of the industry. One leads the way on “what to do” and the other leads the way on “how to be.” He also talks about how to reframe failures and rejection, and that when we hear the word, “no” that the reframe of the meaning is, “not yet.” Lawrence invites us to look at movement being mandatory and exercise as being optional. It is this reframe that will help the fitness industry reach the people, who in the past, may have felt as though they “failed at exercise.” This way we can help open their ears by using the word movement over exercise, and also open their hearts to happiness. He believes that we also need to create compelling experiences instead of simply teaching classes and executing exercise. Lawrence goes onto say that it should be our goal to make everyone feel successful. That the “s of experiences” is not only to build a community, transcend exercise and make everyone feel challenged but most of all help them to feel successful. It is then people will return, tell their friends, and then we have built a community, or a tribe a tri-mmunity, a combination of tribe and community. Towards the end of our conversation, Lawrence shares that he has three philosophies that he has honed from working in fitness. 1. Never burn your bridges. 2. Love is always the answer. Never Jealousy. Never greed. Never backstabbing. Never unfriendly competition. Love is always going to be the answer. 3. Stay true to who you are inside and never sell out. Stay true to yourself and listen to your inner voice. Wise words for sure.

On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Bobby Cappuccio joins me to discuss living your truth. Robert Cappuccio is a respected motivational speaker and educator. He is a highly sought-after corporate coach, and considered to be a leader and pioneer in the areas of personal and professional development, as well as behavioral change. In this episode, we discuss: -The challenging childhood that shaped Bobby’s life -How every Hero’s journey is helped and directed by a guide -The limitations and potential destructiveness of inward focus -How to hone in on your originating intention and achieve happiness -And so much more! More than most, Bobby knows that life will always have challenges; his approach has been to develop strong relationships and reach out to others. Bobby stresses, “Everybody who has gone through something, what gets them out of it is not necessarily pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps but interacting and formulating and cultivating continually effective relationships.” As a result of this belief, Bobby believes, “There is no such thing as a self made man or women.” Bobby suggests finding your passion by focusing on where your interests already align as, “We might not know what our passion is but we all have curiosities.” As a result of this, “When behaviors and values align, that’s when passion, discipline, willpower, perseverance—all the attributes we associate with success—occur automatically.” When you start to live your life in a way that is authentic and true to yourself Bobby believes that, “You don’t chase happiness, you attract it.” For more information on Bobby: Robert Joseph Cappuccio, aka Bobby, has spent the last two decades pushing for both an industry and individual shift in perspective, from a solely outward focused goal oriented approach to health and fitness to a more holistic approach that is centered on behavioral change. A phenomenon that has helped position PTA Global (a company Bobby co-founded) as a leader in professional fitness development. Bobby has championed both his personal and professional experiences into practical programs designed to help corporate, industry personnel, as well as individuals, get what they truly want. An ideal he firmly believes attainable because result comes from process – be it the process of working on who you are in the moment, the creative process, or strategic processes in business and in one’s personal life. Bobby began coaching shortly after a paradigm shift occurred in his life. He was in his early twenties, and a certified personal trainer. Born with a severe facial deformity and diagnosed with Tourette syndrome at age nine, he suffered abominable abuse in and out of his home until he stumbled upon a marvel: exercise. It saved his life. He discovered that by redirecting his focus, he could affect positive change in not only his life, but in the lives of the people he in turn trained. In helping others, he was in fact helping himself. In sharing his discoveries (both learned and experienced) over the years, he became a world-renowned speaker, author and coach. As co-founder of PTA Global, former head of training and development at David Barton gym, former director of professional development at the National Academy of Sports Medicine (N.A.S.M.), Director of Coaching at the Institute of Motion (IOM) and content curator for PTontheNet, Bobby’s reach runs wide. A sales, leadership, and cultural development consultant for various companies including Hilton Hotels, Virgin Active, Fitness First, 24hr Fitness, David Lloyd Leisure and multiple small businesses nationally and abroad, Bobby travels the world impacting lives, inspiring positive change and growth in individuals and companies alike. A presenter at business and fitness conferences across the globe including IDEA, Filex, CanFitPro, FitPro, IHRSA, Pure Fitness Asia, Perform Better, Equinox, Gold’s Gym International, Lifetime Family Fitness, and countless other corporate events, conventions, and workshops aimed at training and developing top notch fitness professionals, Bobby continues to share the impact of honing in on behavioral change in helping clients reach their professional, fitness, and wellness goals. Bobby can be seen weekly on his YouTube and Facebook Video sessions, and heard on various podcasts, tackling subject matters ranging from how sleep affects productivity to tried and true sales closing techniques and customer retention strategies.
