Former NFL player, Fred Stokes did not start playing football until his senior year in high school. In high school in Vidalia, Georgia, he excelled in basketball and track, but little did he know football would be his future. Fred received a full scholarship to play football for Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Ga. under the legendary coach, Erk Russell. Fred played a vital role on two National Championship teams (1985 and 1986) and was only one of two players on his team voted First Team All-America after his senior season as an Offensive Tackle. Fred was drafted into the National Football League where he spent ten years playing Defensive End for the Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams, Washington Football Team, and the New Orleans Saints. Known by his teammates as “Big Play Stokes,” Fred went on to play and win the Super Bowl XXVI with the 1991 Washington Football Team against the Buffalo Bills. Fred is a highly sought-after Keynote Speaker, delivering his motivational/inspirational messages and author of his autobiography, “The Bridge That Brought Me Over.” What you'll learn about in this episode: How Fred's environment shaped his character and worldview Fred's experience growing up as a black man in Georgia with a single mother Fred's first encounter with racism as a child, and how it impacted him moving forward The pain and hardship that shaped Fred into the amazing human being he is today How to achieve the level of impact that we want Fred's leadership journey in the NFL How Fred continues to achieve success while overcoming personal hardships like the loss of his cousin who was like a son to him What we can do to bring more people together and affect conversations of change in these difficult times Resources: Website: lintbrother.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fredstokes/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Lint-Brother-350130975810150/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bigplaystokes/ https://www.instagram.com/lintbrother Twitter: @fredstokes Never Fall Prey to Circumstance As a former NFL player for the Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams, Washington Football Team, and the New Orleans Saints, it is safe to say that our guest, Fred Stokes, is not an ordinary guy. Fred won Super Bowl XXVI with the 1991 Washington Football Team, and he went on to continue his journey of intentional greatness in other areas after his football career was over. Fred is an accomplished motivational speaker, author, and entrepreneur. In this episode of Intentional Greatness, Fred talks about his mission to positively enhance the life of every person who comes across his path. He explains how his environment shaped his character and worldview, discusses his experiences with racism, and explains how he achieved immense success without becoming a victim of circumstance. Product of Environment Fred's mom gave birth to him at just fifteen years old. He grew up as a black man in Georgia with a single mother and the odds stacked against him. But in spite of the difficult hand he had been dealt, Fred managed to magnetize the good and put himself in a position to take advantage of any opportunity that came his way. His teachers, coaches, and extended family gave him the support he needed to succeed. And Fred was receptive to help and guidance because he was determined to do anything in his power to get his mom out of that difficult situation. Our environment shapes our character and worldview, but we don't have to accept everything it throws at us. Never Let Anyone Tell You You're Not Special Fred has an unbelievable amount of great stories, experiences, and advice, but with that also comes a lot of pain and hardship; even up until recently. Fred had to have conversations about racism with his mother throughout his entire life, and it helped him realize the value of his natural gifts and talents. If you have something special, you are not motivated by money and status. Fred never let anybody take that away from him, and his gifts drove him to greatness.

Today, we get into a masterclass on retirement planning with a true expert in the field whose perspectives are distinctly evidence-based, Fred Vettese. Fred is a Partner and former Actuary at Morneau Shepell and author of three retirement books including Retirement Income For Life. We hear Fred’s thoughts on what people should be spending in retirement, why there is not a retirement crisis in Canada, and how Canadians can live on far less than they have been told. Fred talks about how to prepare for a bad investment outcome, as well as the problem of underspending early on and ending up with too many assets. He is a big proponent of people deferring their CPP until after 70 and buying an annuity with a portion of their money in most cases. Our guest weighs in on annuities, talking about how to buy them, which types to buy, and why ALDAs exacerbate the problem of early underspending. We query Fred about when people should start their CPP and OAS government benefits, and then move to hear his thoughts about different bear markets, how to invest during them, and what the current massive government interventions mean for the future of taxpayers. Fred gets into the risk of getting a retirement age date wrong, why he doesn’t endorse the 4% spending rule, and how retirement planning is affected by owning versus renting a home next. He also makes a case for when reverse mortgages are a good option, why long-term care insurance makes no sense, and why interest rates are so low right now. Wrapping up, we hear Fred’s thoughts on what this all means for early retirees, people still in the workforce, and those just entering it. Tune in for Fred’s brilliant perspectives on all this and a lot more in what should be an evergreen resource for any Canadian looking for solid retirement instructions.   Key Points From This Episode: Introducing Fred Vettese and his evidence-based work on retirement planning.

Meat That Is Good For You And The Planet with Fred Provenza | This episode is brought to you by Thrive Market, Joovv, and chiliEating a variety of phytonutrients is a powerful way to support optimal health, from things like colorful fruits and veggies. Another really cool side of phytonutrients is the impact they have on making animals healthier, too. In fact, animals who graze on a diverse variety of pasture, with lots of different kinds of wild plants, get an incredible array of phytonutrients. They will even intuitively mix and match their nutritional needs to what plants are available, making sure they get the right balance of vitamins and minerals. Animals who’ve been able to graze like this provide much healthier meat that passes more nutritional benefits along to us. Plus they get to live happier, more natural lives! Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I talk to Fred Provenza about the amazing world of phytochemicals and what they can do for animals and our own bodies. Fred grew up in Salida, Colorado, working on a ranch and attending school in WildlifeBiology at Colorado State University. He is professor emeritus of Behavioral Ecology in theDepartment of Wildland Resources at Utah State University where he worked for 35 years,directing an award-winning research group that pioneered an understanding of how learninginfluences foraging behavior and how behavior links soil, plants, herbivores, and humans.He is the author of three books, including Nourishment: What Animals Can Teach Us AboutRediscovering Our Nutritional Wisdom; Foraging Behavior: Managing to Survive in a World ofChange; and The Art & Science of Shepherding: Tapping the Wisdom of French Herders (co-authored with Michel Meuret).

This week Fred and Krista talk about their adventures at the PGA Championship at Bethpage. How Fred likes to play with soft balls (!!!) and creating consistency in your game.

Animal scientists have long considered domestic livestock to be too dumb to know how to eat right, but the lifetime research of animal behaviorist Fred Provenza and his colleagues has debunked this myth. Their work shows that when given a choice of natural foods, livestock have an astoundingly refined palate, nibbling through the day on as many as fifty kinds of grasses, forbs, and shrubs to meet their nutritional needs with remarkable precision. In his brand new book "", Fred presents his thesis of the wisdom that links flavor-feedback relationships at a cellular level with biochemically rich foods to meet the body’s nutritional and medicinal needs. Provenza explores the fascinating complexity of these relationships as he raises and answers thought-provoking questions about what we can learn from animals about nutritional wisdom. What kinds of memories form the basis for how herbivores, and humans, recognize foods? Can a body develop nutritional and medicinal memories in utero and early in life? Do humans still possess the wisdom to select nourishing diets? Or, has that ability been hijacked by nutritional “authorities”? Consumers eager for a “quick fix” have empowered the multibillion-dollar-a-year supplement industry, but is taking supplements and enriching and fortifying foods helping us, or is it hurting us? On a broader scale Fred explores the relationships among facets of complex, poorly understood, ever-changing ecological, social, and economic systems in light of an unpredictable future. To what degree do we lose contact with life-sustaining energies when the foods we eat come from anywhere but where we live? To what degree do we lose the mythological relationship that links us physically and spiritually with Mother Earth who nurtures our lives? Provenza’s paradigm-changing exploration of these questions has implications that could vastly improve our health through a simple change in the way we view our relationships with the plants and animals we eat. Our health could be improved by eating biochemically rich foods and by creating cultures that know how to combine foods into meals that nourish and satiate. Provenza contends the voices of “authority” disconnect most people from a personal search to discover the inner wisdom that can nourish body and spirit. That journey means embracing wonder and uncertainty and avoiding illusions of stability and control as we dine on a planet in a universe bent on consuming itself. Fred Provenza is professor emeritus of Behavioral Ecology in the Department of Wildland Resources at Utah State University. At Utah State, Provenza directed an award-winning research group that pioneered understanding of how learning influences foraging behavior and how behavior links soils and plants with herbivores and humans. Provenza is one of the founders of , an international network of scientists and land managers committed to integrating behavioral principles with local knowledge to enhance environmental, economic, and cultural values of rural and urban communities. The many awards he received for research, teaching, and mentoring are the creativity that flowed from warm professional and personal relationships with over 75 graduate students, post-doctoral students, visiting scientists, and colleagues. Along with colleagues, he authored over 250 publications in scientific journals and books. His first book was . He co-authored a second book with Michel Meuret, . In our podcast, we take a deep dive into all these questions and topics and many more, including: -How Fred got interested in studying animals and their nutritional habits...7:45 He was fascinated by all things having to do with nature from a very young age Led to studying wildlife biology at Colorado State U; worked on a ranch concurrently Ran the ranch after graduation for 2 years Led to Utah State studying for a grad degree Eating habits of goats contradicted conventional wisdom Book: -Biochemical individuality: what it is, and why it's important...10:48 There's no such thing as an "average animal" in regards to food selection Study on how animals "finished" eating... Total Mixed Ration: mixing ingredients together (5 total), versus offering them individually Animals with a choice on what to eat ate less than animals with no choice Gained weight, body composition was just as good Animals with no choice suffered over-ingestion 5 ingredients is not nearly as much as animals foraging in the wild No 2 animals selected the same combo of ingredients; nor the same food from day to day -How Clara Davis' studies on children over 100 years ago is similar to Fred's work today...17:38 Longest study ever done on human beings 6 years; performed on adopted children Choice of 34 different foods Allowed children to self-select their own diet "A body knows, will select what it needs." Eerily similar findings; as though they were plagiarizing her words Children with Rickets Disease chose cod liver oil, then stopped eating it when they were cured Article: -How nutritional wisdom is akin to three legs on a stool, where if one is broken, it won't work...23:38 Leg #1: Flavor feedback relationships Feedback changes "liking" as a function of need "Vitamin fortification" affects our innate desire for nutrient rich foods If someone is on a highly-processed diet, small amounts of nutrients is akin to the total mixed ration practice Energy gets packed away in the form of fat in our bodies Example of cows eating a 2 lb mixed mineral simply because they craved zinc in their system, which was in a small amount in the block of feed Leg #2: Wholesome alternatives Leg #3: Social and cultural considerations Role of mother to children is essential Babies' fetal taste system is fully functional during last trimester Learning about food world via amniotic fluid Mother's diet can influence flavor preferences of children Genes are being expressed as a function of the environment we experience -How to find the right diet if you come from an ethnic and genetic melting pot...37:40 Epigenetics: the study of changes in organisms caused by modification of gene expression rather than alteration of the genetic code itself. Very relevant to Fred's work Play the "long game" Establish and maintain a strong connection with your community, local environment and diet Our genes become linked to the local environment over time and generations Bison, elephants, etc. with extended families become linked to their environment When you break the linkages, it's very difficult to reestablish -Ancestral wisdom when it comes to pairing our foods...46:23 Book:  When eating bison that were in good health, on a healthy diet, the taste was phenomenal; never got tired of eating it Grass fed isn't grass fed, isn't grass fed Plant diversity in animals will influence flavor and biochemical composition of meat and fat, with implications for the health of human beings Feed-lot diet: diverse mix of compounds vs. simple diet Quality of meat, fat, milk, etc. from an animal free range very different from one on a feed-lot -Synergy in diet, and when it's appropriate to supplement our diet with synthetic ingredients...50:40 Research paper: The more you focus on individual compounds, the more deleterious health effects go away Need to eat wholesome foods, grown in good conditions -What we can learn from animals when it comes to avoiding toxicity in our diets...1:00:40 Pay attention to cues in your body Animals have innate ability to limit intake to levels that don't cause toxicity Animals love to eat a variety of foods 50-75 species within one meal All plants they eat are potentially toxic Variety contains secondary compounds; reduces toxicity Sheep will eat new buds, but will taper off once they reach a phytochemical threshold induced by nausea -About John Hoxsey and the formula he developed to heal cancer Had a prized stallion that developed cancer Couldn't bring himself to shoot it Put it to pasture to live out his days Began eating plants it hadn't eaten before Eventually cancer goes away Started a series of research that led to his formula -And much more...

If you’ve climbed in the mountains of North America, there’s a good chance you’ve climbed one of Fred Beckey’s routes. Beckey, known for his tremendous number of classic first ascents and his eccentric personality, continued climbing well into his nineties before passing away late last year. DIRTBAG: THE LEGEND OF FRED BECKEY is Dave O'Leske's documentary of one of the most influential climbers of all time. O'Leske followed Fred for a decade toward the end of Fred's life, and that story — combined with volumes of archival materials — makes for a universally compelling film. O'Leske shares with us what it was like to tell the story of such a complex and controversial figure, as well as some of the material that was ultimately left out of the film. DIRTBAG is still on tour — check out the dates at dirtbagmovie.com/tour.html.TOPICS & TIMES:How did the project start? (3:20)How Fred reacted to the idea of a having a documentary made about him. (6:60)Fred's extensive personal archives. (7:30)How Fred, despite being famously untidy, was actually sharply organized. (9:30)What motivated Fred?

On a 2-week trip to Germany with his best friend, Fred Perotta had an ah-ha moment. After heaps of research and no help from retailers, Fred couldn’t find the right bag for travelers. He couldn’t understand why most travelers use outdoor ‘hiking’ backpacks, rather than one made specifically for ‘traveling.’ That is, until he realized the solution he wanted — a front-loading backpack, rather than top-loading, that fits into an overhead compartment — didn’t exist. So, he decided to solve his own problem. Today, he’s a world traveler, entrepreneur, startup marketer and co-founder of one of Entrepreneur magazine’s 100 Brilliant Companies List in 2012, Tortuga Backpacks. Fred’s a shining example of how unplanned, wandering travel can reinvigorate your creativity, and help to create opportunities to build a lifestyle for yourself that incorporates regular travel.
