Episode Summary:  Mike Farley founded Farley Pool Designs in 2013 and exclusively serves the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex in partnership with construction team Claffey Pools. As a designer, Mike has produced over 300 YouTube videos where he offers information on the design and construction process of one-of-a-kind swimming pool and outdoor living projects.  He is the co-founder of the Million Dollar Pool Design Challenge with Reid Schindler. This yearly project stages the ultimate design challenge which is open to anyone and provides fellow pool designers the opportunity to learn from each other's experiences and an up-close-and-personal look at different solutions to the same design challenge.  Mike has written over 100 articles with Watershapes to help provide educational resources for those in the pool industry and for over 20 years has been one of the most popular instructors at International and Regional Pool shows on design.  Listen in as Mike shares how he made the transition from landscape architecture to pool and outdoor living design, his unique approach to designing pools and where his best ideas come from, and why he developed the Million Dollar Pool Challenge.  Topics Discussed:  01:33 - An introduction to Mike Farley  18:42 - Mike on his mentors growing up  25:28 - Taking inspiration from nature  31:35 - How Mike approaches his designs  41:10 - Mike's process for designing a pool  47:12 - Projects clients often underestimate costs on  53:14 - How Mike stays inspired  1:05:51 - Working with others who excel at your weakness  1:12:38 - Developing the Million Dollar Pool Challenge      Sponsors:  Pentair  Lyon Financial  Ledge Lounger    Connect with Guest:  Episode Webpage  Website  Million Dollar Pool Challenge  Instagram  Facebook  Pinterest  YouTube  Houzz    Connect with Pool Chasers:  Website  Instagram  Facebook  Facebook Group  Twitter  YouTube  Patreon    Key Quotes from Episode:  Anybody can fake it for a week. Some people can fake it for two. But in three weeks, you're going to have to deal with yourself.  It's not the shape of the pool that creates the environment—it's the setting.  One of the cool things about what I do is I don't have a style. [...] My philosophy is: I take the architectural style of the home, I take the yard, I take what the clients want—I create from there.  The best experience is somebody else's; not yours.  There are certain things that you're good at. There are other things that you're not good at. Find what you're not good at, hire someone to do that work, and you can be more productive. Quite honestly, they might love what you hate. It makes a better all-around team.

Mike Testa is the President and CEO of Visit Sacramento & the Sacramento Sports Commission, leading a team dedicated to promoting Sacramento as an attractive travel destination while enhancing Sacramentos image as a dynamic place to live and work. Through the impact of travel, Mike and his team strengthen Sacramento's economic position, grow the region's economy, attract development investment, and improve the quality of life for the people who call Sacramento home. In just three years as the CEO of Visit Sacramento, Mike has generated new streams of visitors to the region by investing in and promoting Sacramento's arts community and creating and expanding music and food festivals. He has also focused on growing and securing new and diverse sporting events and advocating for, and ultimately securing, the expansion of the Sacramento Convention Center. Visit California Travel & Tourism data shows that Mike's vision of diversifying Sacramento's visitor platform is working. In 2019, Sacramento generated record revenues from tourism, as visitors spent more than $3 billion into the regional economy. In 2021, Visit Sacramento will help further elevate the Aftershock Music Festival (the largest hard rock festival on the West Coast) into a four-day, 120,000-person music event. Later that same month, Sacramento will host its first Ironman competition. Through Mike's vision, commitment to community collaboration, and consistent innovation, Sacramentos identity has evolved from a sleepy State Capital to a relevant food destination, recognized nationally as America's Farm-to-Fork Capital. Through creating the Tower Bridge Dinner and events like the Farm-to-Fork Festival, Mike's ability to see Sacramento's heritage and reimagine its identity as a food and agriculture leader has brought millions of dollars in revenue to local businesses national earned media to Sacramento. Additionally, Mike Testa is responsible for initiating and creating the relationship with the Paris-based Michelin Guide to generate a California dining guide that spotlighted 14 of Sacramento's restaurants and earned the city its first Michelin-starred restaurant in its inaugural year of publication. Mike is a graduate of St. Mary's College and has spent his career promoting, connecting, and developing relationships to elevate organizational goals. As an expert communicator and seasoned destination marketing executive, he is highly sought after to speak at CEO forums, participate in panel discussions, serve as an event emcee, and facilitate conversations around marketing, tourism development, and community economic creation and development. Mike is also widely known as a thought leader in economic development through festivals and events. In 2017 he was hand-picked to participate in a panel discussion at Austins SXSW about building successful special events and the intricate components of forming relationships between host cities and festival producers. In 2008, Mike was named as a ‘40 under 40 leader' and in 2014 was awarded the Vibe Award from the Downtown Sacramento Partnership, which recognized ‘Visionary Innovators in Building Excellence.' He is active on the boards of the Sacramento Metro Chamber of Commerce, Sacramento Zoo, Midtown Association, and Downtown Sacramento Partnership. Mike is an educator and enjoys sharing his knowledge as a former media relations instructor for the Western Association of Convention & Visitors Bureaus and the UC Davis Extension. On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Mike Testa, who shares his passion for the city of Sacramento and details how Visit Sacramento built a brand as the Farm-to-Fork capital of America. We discuss Sacramento's challenges as a city in California, where there are many bucket list cities, and creative ways his team has carved out positioning that Sacramento can own. Mike also highlights how his organization has creatively collaborated to successfully produce events for the city that are now attracting a vast number of visitors every year.

Mike also shares his insights on connecting with organizations in your area and why building deeper bonds ultimately helps you move forward to achieve your goals.

Commitment to work is something most organizations expect from their people. But does that mean feeling guilty about spending less time at work and more time on yourself?  In any case, it's not about the number of hours you spend working. It's about the quality of time you spend with the right people to get what needs to be done.   What it takes to be a high-achieving professional: Know the value you bring to the organization. Spend time on yourself every day. Understand who you truly are.   Today on the ACCESS Points Podcast, Mike Kelley, the VP of Sales at ACCESS EFM sits down with Davin and Tim to talk about his transformation into becoming a high achiever at work. He will share with you how he was able to achieve greater success while spending less time at work and more time on himself.   In This Episode 3:20 - Why Mike Kelley is a good example of how personal health is crucial to becoming a high-achieving professional   6:19 - How to become a peak performer in your career   9:08 - The point at which Mike began to pay more attention to his physical health   14:49 - How to reframe the process of finding time for yourself   16:00 - How Mike took advantage of the COVID situation to improve his physical health   20:40 – Mike's advice for becoming a better performer at work   23:41 - What Tim has to say about being truly successful   Favorite Quotes "You can never figure out how much or what value you bring to your organization, to your family, and sometimes, most importantly to yourself until you figure out exactly who it is that you are. And once you truly start to grasp who you are and your strengths and what value you bring to the world, that's when things start to click" - Tim Elliot   "There are a tremendous amount of people, a tremendous amount of companies and a tremendous amount of entrepreneurs, bosses and managers that will absolutely give you the best lip service that you've ever seen. But they don't mean it!" - Mike Kelley   "To be better professionally, you have to be better personally. And if things aren't great personally, there's only a certain amount of time in your professional life that can be good and that starts to deteriorate." - Tim Elliot   "The bottom line is, there's only so many hours in a day and you have to decide where you're going to invest that time and that effort." - Davin Marceau   "What's tough about the physical side of things is when your body starts to erode, whether it is looks, health, or both, that's going to inevitably begin to erode the mental side.  It is going to inevitably begin to erode your relationships, your spirituality, and all those other domains are going to suffer. Because you don't feel confident in the way that you look or you don't feel confident in the way that you feel." - Davin Marceau   "Once you have a level of knowledge and you have a level of understanding of who you are and how your value fits in the organization, it's not about the hours you spend. It's about the quality of time you spend with the right people to get the things done that you need to get done." - Tim Elliot   "You'll never truly be successful until you figure out exactly who it is that you are." - Tim Elliot   Visit Access EFM: Website Facebook LinkedIn Twitter   Click here to listen with Access Points Podcast

032: Accepting Life's Calling as a Medium with Mike Pozorski

Finding Hope and the Journey to Mediumship

Play Episode Listen Later May 12, 2021 50:55


Professional mediumship is a road that not all mediums necessarily have to tread on. Some mediums may only decide to use their gifts for themselves or for personal reasons.  Today’s guest is Mike Pozorski, a professional medium from Wisconsin. And I wanted to talk to him about his journey to mediumship and how it all came together for him.  Mike has had his own share of experiences with spirit even at a young age. Although he went to a Catholic school, it was a good thing that his mom was also open to spirituality. Although he took psychology and business in college, Mike's main focus back in college was partying and all the fun stuff that goes with college. He was seeing auras around his professors and he just felt he didn't belong there and he was supposed to do something else. Mike was initially resisting it, but it wasn’t until he got this reading from a medium that his purpose became more clear to him. And perhaps that encounter with Archangel Michael just sealed the deal for him that he finally accepted his life’s calling as a medium. Mike now has a spirit team with him that helps him with his mediumship and his personal life.  When you're starting with mediumship, there's a tendency of getting in your own head too much. You have all these expectations and all the stuff you have to work through. There’s also this difference with the levels of how mediums receive information. It's like a game of Pictionary or charades where you see, hear, feel, smell, and taste things differently. At the end of the day, you have to develop that relationship and trust, and connect with them. And sometimes, you just have to set the intention to just be with them. In this episode, you will hear : His early experiences with Spirit which became intense as he grew older What the Kundalini experience was like for him How we want mediumship to be natural in the beginning How the reading Mike got opened him up to his purpose The importance of having the right spiritual teacher and support system How Mike got into mediumship professionally and began with free readings Seeing the value in personal development and daily meditation His meeting with Archangel Michael feeling an overwhelming sense of love How our angels and spirit guides continue to lead us to what we need for the next step Developing your relationship with them and trusting them The different services Mike offers Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

From Drug Addict to Internet Celebrity: The Redemption Story of Mike Majlak

The Adversity Advantage

Mike Majlak is a popular Youtuber, Internet Celebrity and Co Host of one of the world's most popular shows, Impaulsive with Logan Paul.   But, much of this seemed nearly impossible a little over a decade ago.   On today's podcast, Mike takes us through his riveting addiction and post addiction story which he also reflects on in his highly popular debut book, 'The Fifth Vital'. Mike grew up as a “normal kid” who just like many found himself spiraling down the destructive path of addiction.   It began with him experimenting with marijuana as a teenager and it quickly escalated into snorting painkillers, cocaine, xanax, heroin and smoking crack. Mike inevitably was also forced to sell these drugs in order to support his habit and his identity. This self-destructive journey continued for about a decade and also came with other negative side effects. Mike was arrested multiple times, robbed, drove his car off a cliff and watched his drug dealer get pistol-whipped right before his eyes. One of Mike's lowest of lows came when he failed to take care of his sick grandfather while extremely high on crack.   On June 18th, 2010 everything finally caught up with Mike when he was finally called on his BS by his probation officer and she decided to give him an opportunity to change his life. This is what would ultimately lead him to go to detox, treatment and turn his life around. Mike's redemption story was fueled by fitness, goal setting, purpose, perseverance, and deep introspection. On a mission to make something out of his life and “hustle” in a meaningful way Mike rebuilt his resume, self-esteem and health. This gave him the confidence needed to apply and land a job at furniture retailer Lovesac to help them build their brand and social media. It was at Lovesac where he met Logan Paul and the rest is history.   Our discussion today dives deep into what it was like being the Mike of the past versus the Mike of the present. We chat about his darkest moments, his rock bottoms and the scariest time of his life where he thought it was all over. More importantly, we talk about the exact tactics that Mike used to make the ultimate comeback, the healthy coping mechanisms he uses today and the advice he has for those that are still suffering. We also talk about his partnership with Logan Paul and what the future holds. This conversation is a reflection on the power of faith, fitness, fortitude and fulfillment and a story that I am excited to share.   Some topics discussed:    Mike's journey to addiction   The parental divorce and his rough teenage years   The switch from marijuana to opiates   The trajectory that leads him to use heroin and crack   Mike's darkest moments/rock bottoms   Mike's scariest moment of his life    Mike's turning point with the new Probation officer   Why did Mike decide to stop using drugs?   How Mike made his comeback (step by step)   Positive coping tactics for an addict looking for recovery   How he survived early recovery?   The role that self reflection played in his life   How did Mike rebuild his resume, self-esteem and life?   The importance of fitness   Getting a job at Lovesac and meeting Logan Paul   Logan and Mike's partnership and their future   Advice for loved ones who have an addict that is struggling   Connect with Mike Majlak:   Instagram: www.instagram.com/heybigmike   Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMk0u-pViW-Ff4F9SAGcI4g   Twitter: www.twitter.com/mikemajlak   Buy Mike Majlak's book "The 5th Vital": https://www.amazon.com/Fifth-Vital-Mike-Majlak/dp/B087L8DWZQ   Listen/Watch Impaulsive Podcast: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGeBogGDZ9W3dsGx-mWQGJA   Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/impaulsive-with-logan-paul/id1442164847?at=1l3vwYf   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/36PzTdM4rvRPaJYdBW1ZNa   Connect with Doug:   Instagram: www.instagram.com   Twitter: www.twitter.com/dougbopst   Facebook: www.facebook.com/dougbopst
