Podcast appearances and mentions of jason leenaarts

If you're a coach, soloist, or small business owner, communicating your ideas is essential.  But how do you make storytelling a part of your regular life and business?  How do you tell stories that are meaningful and interesting to both you, and the people you serve? And, what do you do when you make a mistake or your work is misinterpreted in some way?  In this episode, I explore all of this and more with my guest, Jason Leenaarts.  Jason is the owner of Revolution Fitness & Therapy, a semi-private personal training studio in Northeast Ohio. He's an MNU certified nutritionist, author of two books available on Amazon and former host of the Revolutionary You podcast. Jason is an avid — and consistent — communicator, having maintained his blog for years, releasing weekly podcast episodes for six years before retiring his podcast, posting social content daily, and publishing two books. Through it all, he is honest and open about his own struggles including his past experiences with drug addiction, as well as the messiness and challenges of everyday life.   If you want to bring more authenticity and personal storytelling into your brand and business communications, be more consistent with your writing, and navigate mistakes and pushback from others, check out this episode. We cover: - Why Jason chooses to speak openly about his experiences with drug addiction and his “colorful” past, and how that has impacted his business and his ability to help people  - How to balance the personal vs the professional when it comes to storytelling. (And why your “what the hell, I'm just gonna write about the thing I care about” moments can be the most fruitful.)  - How to write about stuff that interests you while also serving the needs and interests of your audience.  - How Jason put out a podcast every week for 6 years — what he learned from it, and why he decided it was time to quit. - What happens when your content bombs and people misinterpret or just plain hate what you've said — and how to recover.  - Jason's method for responding to criticism and how to use it to make your work better. - How to balance the need to ship your work with the value of putting out rigorous and intentional work. - What a regular writing practice can look like, and how to make time for it. - Why NOW is the time to put your ideas, your wisdom, your story out into the world — and exactly why it matters so much.  For more, check out Jason at jasonleenaarts.com, on Instagram at @jasonleenaarts, or on Facebook at @jason.leenaarts

People experience all different kinds of hardships in life. Some are difficult to understand how they can be impacting us at the moment. We may not realize how formative different kinds of events are for us. Especially if we're not cultivating awareness along the way. Many of us, cultivate that year after the fact and are then forced to examine our lives in retrospect. Exploring the revolutionary life of Jason Leenaarts shares some of those commonalities. Jason has done an amazing job overcoming some significant adversity in his life. Doing so now in a way that empowers others to live revolutionary lives! 7-Days of Belonging Connect with your Guest Jason Leenaarts Instagram: jasonleenaarts website: https://jasonleenaarts.com/ A Revolution a Day (book) Podcast: https://revolutionaryyou.libsyn.com/ Connect with your host Ross Leppala!

Today on the show we are joined with one of the industry's best human beings, Jason Leenarts who shares his story and how to build a community that fosters transformation.

Life is like a game, it’s a game where many curveballs are thrown our way. As with all games, you can’t win all the time. And once we lose, it's often because of abuse or betrayal. Some people turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these traumatic experiences, while others shut themselves in.    Jason Leenaarts knows this well, his traumatic childhood experiences have led him to make several bad decisions in the past. But his story is far from sad. Instead, it speaks of triumph and is a testament to the fact that there will always be a way out of any dark tunnel. About Guest/Topic You may know Jason Leenaarts as the owner of Revolution Fitness and Therapy in Ohio. Jason is a man who turned trauma into strength. But not many people are aware of the long journey he took towards self-healing and discovery.  During a downward spiral, Jason relied on various prescription drugs to cope with the pain of his past trauma. He realized, in hindsight, that these treated his symptoms but never the root cause, which eventually opened the door to substance abuse.  After years of struggling and countless visits to many psychiatrists, Jason was finally able to regain control over his life and develop a deeper connection with himself.  In this episode, Jason shares his story of trauma and transformation to inspire and help people in the same boat.   If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, please seek help from your nearest medical professional. In This Episode   Understand the different stages of betrayal and trauma Recognize what ‘rock bottom’ is and how to rise above it Learn about the ways that people cope with abuse, betrayal, and trauma Find out why you need to tackle the root cause of your trauma to truly heal Discover the journey towards self-healing and discovery Quotes “Here I was finishing up high school, about to go on to college, was gonna be independent like all college kids very much wish to be when they finally wanna get out of their parents’ home. And it just started this domino effect of bad things that happened and you don’t really know how to stop that downward spiral of ‘I don’t have a lot of self-worth’ and ‘I don’t really like how things are happening in my life’ and ‘I don’t really know how to cope with these things.’” [3:26] “When you’ve got trauma in your life, all of a sudden, you look at things differently in your life.” [7:55] “Life’s not going the way that I want. So, it must be because I’m not worthy of good things. And you tell yourself that story regardless of how untrue it actually is … Once we start that domino effect, it goes nowhere good. And it’s hard to get yourself out of that.” [18:26] “At the time, I was still in so much denial that I actually have a drug problem. The drugs were a daily thing. I didn’t think that drugs were something that were taking over my life.” [20:33] “The bad things that were happening were happening because I was not in control of the things that I should have been in control of.” [22:31] “You know how certain things go in your relationship over time where it’s like ‘wow, some problems don’t go away when you get married.’ And so, you start to grab all of those things in, and they become the things that get swept under the rug. And you know, I think everyone knows what that’s like when you finally lift up the rug, and go ‘oh, there’s that mess I made’” [26:41] “Just because you solve certain problems in your life doesn’t mean that they’re all solved.” [29:42] Resources Mentioned Jason Leenaarts’ website Post Betrayal Syndrome Quiz PBT Institute PBT Institute Membership Community

This week it's the return of Jason Leenaarts. Jason is a fantastic Coach based in the U.S. He is the owner of Revolutionary Fitness and Therapy, host of the Revolutionary You Podcast and has just published his second book 'A Revolution a Day'.In this episode we discuss:- Why Jason wrote his second book and what 'A Revolution a Day' is all about.- What Jason found when he revisited over 200 of his Podcast episodes and what quotes and gems he found that impacted him personally.- Jason's approach to sound and sustainable goal and habit setting- Why self-reflection is so important- Why course correction is not failing - Plus a lot more great conversation.To find more from Jason:Website: https://jasonleenaarts.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasonleenaarts/Book Link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Revolution-Day-Musings-Motivations-Enthusiast/dp/1671162870/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=revolution+a+day&qid=1579284977&sr=8-2

CHANGE Today's featured guest is Jason Leenaarts. The Topic is CHANGE. Let the show begin. Guest Bio. Combining 16 years of experience in the fitness industry, Jason Leenaarts opened Revolution Fitness and Therapy in the spring of 2009. The first location was opened in Hudson, Ohio while Jason worked to create a program that could benefit those looking to lose weight and gain lean muscle. The program has been tremendously successful targeting demographics as young as 12 to those young-at-heart and well into their 70’s. His passion for nutritional counselling and the constant drive to modify the program to fit an individual’s needs has been the force guiding “RevFit” further. An ISSA Elite I Trainer, Jason is committed to helping his members be in the best shape they’re willing and able to be in.

We covered a lot of material. A LOT of material. For context, Jason's Business, Revolution Fitness and Therapy has been around for a long time. I got to meet Jason at the most recent Fitness Summit at Kansas City. So you might think at first, "oh here's another fitnessy guy talking about fitnessy things and how happy he is that he gets to watch people work out. I bet he's never had to call 911 to say he was worried he was going to die by suicide.". False.  And yes, I know that's a little dramatic, but if I didn't point that out, would it get your attention? I think that the topics we cover are going to be helpful to people who listen to The Lifestyle Chase and for people who listen to Revolutionary You for that matter. We talk about how it took 8 months of seeing different therapists for Jason to find the one that essentially saved his life. We talk about what it was like being addicted to drugs for the better part of a decade. We talk about his journey as a dad and what being the father of a child with autism has taught him as a human being. Even just being a father of either of his two very loved children and the dynamics of having two kids with two marriages.  I think we spent about 4 minutes talking about fitness marketing as well. So there's that. I really hope you enjoy this episode and share it. Thank you for supporting The Lifestyle Chase and be sure to show Jason some love and check out his new book available on Amazon!  

In today's episode, I welcome back on Jason Leenaarts. Jason was a previous guest back in Nov 2018 on episode 142. He's a husband, father, gym owner, podcast host and one of the most genuine guys I know. In this episode, we discuss his new book called "a revolution a day", how he processes losing clients and why it is well worth your time as a personal trainer to post on social media about your clients.     Timestamps [02.15] - How does Jason feel about being a personal trainer now he's been in the industry over 15 years? [04.19] - Where does he see his facility going in future? [8.24] - What he tends to see over the Christmas period in terms of retention and growth? [13.54] - Has he got better at dealing with client loss as the years have gone on? [21.09] - Why you need to find ambassadors for your business to increase word of mouth [26.39] - How he asks clients if it's ok to post on social media about them [33.39] - Why he rarely posts about himself but spends a lot of time posting about his clients [35.09] - Do any of his clients ever get jealous about being posted less often? [39.54] - Jason's new book [47.34] - What he wishes the fitness industry would do a better job of     Find More About Jason: Jason's Site Jason's Podcast Jason's New Book     Find Out More About LTB: Website Instagram Facebook

"Nobody cares what I do, they care what I do for others"   Jason Leenaarts is a podcast host of the fantastic Revolutionary You!, a gym owner and writer. In this episode, we delve into his past as it contains some brilliant lessons I think we can all learn from. He's come from a place of being a drug addict and we chat about what this phase of his life has taught him and how it's shaped the coach he is today. He's also had his facility for just under 10 years and is still doing 10+ PT session days - if you follow him on social media you'll know this as he posts pictures of his clients constantly, which is another topic we also discuss!   There is an insane amount of lessons and stories in this and I'm confident any trainer will be able to take something from Jason's journey.   Books Endless Referrals by Bob Berg   www.jasonleenaarts.com www.revfittherapy.com (FB)www.facebook.com/jason.leenaarts (IG)www.instagram.com/jasonleenaarts

There are a lot of ideas, theories, and claims out there as to what fish you should eat and avoid. However, it all becomes muddled very easily and both Devon and I wanted to clarify which fish you should avoid (and why) versus which fish are okay and healthy to eat. As you tune in, today we'll cover: The difference between Omega 3s and Omega 6s Which fish we should be consuming the most on a regular basis. Farm-raised fish vs. Wild caught fish and the sustainability of both Mercury and radiation poisoning - do we have to be so concerned about it? Raw vs cooked fish - Is one better than the other? Click here for the entire show notes Please leave us a review at http://openskyfitness.com/review Join our Open Sky Fitness Podcast Facebook Group! Do the 7 Day Paleo Reset! Omega 3s vs Omega 6s What's the difference between fish with Omega 3 fatty acids and those Omega 6 fatty acids? Fish with Omega 6s have pro-inflammatory fatty acid and fish with Omega 3 have anti-inflammatory fatty acid. So, what's best? When it comes down to it, we want a good amount of both to help balance the amount. Omega 6 actually comes from a lot of processed foods like soybean oils, fried foods, and canola oil. Therefore, the best thing is to eat fish with lots of Omega 3 fatty acids to balance all the other Omega 6 fatty acids we regularly consume.   Farm-Raised vs Wild Caught Fish Whether commercial fish is farm-raised or wild caught, they both have various cons. On the other hand, when it comes to sustainability, there are different types of fish that are okay and even really beneficial in some cases to eat. The Pros & Cons of Farm-Raised Commercial Fishing The problems with farm fishing include: Farming carnivorous fish that have to feed on other fish like sardines and anchovies The amount of waste that's created by the fish in such a tiny environment Using nets too close to migrating fish which will be affected by the excess amount of waste caused by farmed fish Pesticides being used to control diseases which can also leak into surrounding waters in the environment Ichthyophthirius multifiliis commonly called ich or ick which can lead to white spot disease in both the farmed-fish which can also spread to wild fish. Mangroves and wetlands being destroyed to create fish farms. However, these farm-raised fish are okay to eat as far as sustainability: Tilapia Catfish Arctic Char Cobia Shellfish The Pros & Cons of Wild-Caught Commercial Fishing The problems with the fishing commercial industry and wild-caught fish: Over-fishing Illegal fishing Throwing out fish they don't want Catching endangered species like sharks and turtles The fishing gear itself ruining coral reefs and the ocean environment Wild-caught fish that are okay to eat as far as sustainability:   The Best Fish To Buy According to the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch, the best fish we can eat are and in the following order: Atlantic Mackeral Salmon Herring Sardines Oysters Anchovies Cavier Fish that have the lowest amounts of selenium to mercury ratios that you should avoid. Pilot Whale Fish Shark King Mackeral Swordfish Tilefish As far as in the USA, other great fish we can find here include: Arctic Char Catfish (USA made) Cod (Pacific) Clams, Muscles, & Oysters Salmon (New Zealand) Shrimp (USA farmed) Good alternatives: Cod (Atlantic/Pacific) Salmon (Canada Pacific/ USA) Fish to avoid: Salmon (Canada Atlantic, Chile, Norway, Scotland) Cod (Atlantic: Canada/ USA) Cod (Pacific: Japan, Russia)   What You'll Hear on This Episode 00:00 Open Sky Fitness Introduction 1:15  Opening comments with Rob and Devon 1:30 Check out last week's show: OSF 221 - 10 Vital Habits For Building Muscle Mass And Losing Body Fat with Jason Leenaarts 3:30 Why it's so important to drink at least 80 oz of water a day. 5:00 What other habits you can expect to build on to help lose weight during the Sky Fit Challenge including adding more vegetables to their meals. 6:30 What kinds of workouts we do during the Sky Fit Challenge. 7:30 The benefits of focusing on staying away from processed foods and sugars during the Sky Fit Challenge. 11:10  Why we chose to talk about seafood and nutrition today. 12:00 How often you should have fish and what nutrition benefits it has. 13:20 All about Omega 3s vs Omega 6s 16:00 The amount of Omega 6 fatty acids in our system and the cons to that. 16:30 Benefits of balancing our omegas by consuming fish with fatty Omega 3 acids. 17:00 Which fish have the highest amount of Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids that we should be consuming the most on a regular basis. 21:30 The differences between farm-raised and wild caught fish, pros and cons, plus which fish are best to eat from each category. 33:00 How fish ranches work and why they're not a good thing. 36:00 Mercury - When did we become so concerned about it?

If we focus on whole foods, hands down; we're going to up the nutrients that we're bringing in to the point where we probably don't have to supplement in nor count calories and will start losing weight immediately.

Plan predictable, controlled meals that require little to no brainpower. 6. Practice gratitude regularly. 5. Strength train 2-3 times a week. 4. Track your progress with data: workouts, weight, body measurements etc. 3. Get more consistent with your new habits. 2. Manage your sleep. 1. Eat for the goal.   Rob's Top 10 Vital Habits   Beginning with good habits (#1)) to the most important (#1), here is Rob's list: 10. Water - Drink 80-100 oz of water a day. 9. Eat 2-3 servings of veggies a day. 8. Eat all whole foods. 7. Batch cook, meal prep, eat same food daily, weekly, monthly. 6.
