Armed with an ACSM personal training certification and a Masters degree in Nutrition, Jill also slowly began to take on 1:1 fat loss coaching clients. Fast forward 18 months and JillFit too grew to a 6-figure online fitness brand with 5 fat loss coaches and over 100 virtual clients! Over the next few years, Jill developed her own nutrition philosophy, #Moderation365 to automate consistent and healthy eating habits. Since then JillFit has helped over 10,000 women do the same using this method and now certifies coaches in the method. After investing in her very first business coach in 2012, Jill quit all her in-person training and moved fully online. Followers and other professionals began asking her how I she was doing what she was doing, and as a result, Jill started sharing business tips, tools and strategies, which led to her launched her first business mentorship, Best of You Business. Since then, JillFit has grossed over 6M in revenue and has helped thousands of health, fitness and nutrition professionals start and grow their online businesses.   Links: https://jillfit.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jillfit Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JillFit/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/jillfit YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/linmull

If you've been tuning into the podcast recently, you've been hearing the stories of incredible 7-figure CEOs that are part of our Performance Mastermind, and today you get to meet another phenomenal Digital CEO from the group, Jill Coleman.  In this episode, Jill shares her 14-year journey from a humble blogger to a thriving business owner, and you'll learn how she built a loyal following, scaled her coaching business, and navigated the ever-changing digital landscape, especially since joining the mastermind in early 2021.  Jill has had to overcome some big hurdles and mindset blocks to make quantum leaps in her business, and she reveals how she did it using grit, self-trust and consistency, along with the help of a dedicated team to work alongside her each day.  Some of these lessons may seem subtle and nuanced to most people, but they are everything at this level and this conversation with Jill is absolutely jam-packed with the essential ingredients that make up a formula for success!  For the past 8 years, I've had the privilege and honor to host an intimate 12-month mastermind experience for emerging leaders and online experts in our industry, called the Performance Mastermind, and many of those members are individuals you know and follow today. As you also know, true and real masterminds are the most effective and powerful containers for creating explosive growth in your business and your life! I'll stand by this claim that the Performance Mastermind is the best mastermind for 7-figure online experts in the entire industry, and this is the one time of year that I recruit new members. So, if you are approaching or you're already at that 7-figure a year mark in your business and you're looking for a catalyst, a community and a quantum leap, then I invite you to apply. Simply visit www.jameswedmore.com/performance to get all the details.

We'd love to hear what resonated with you the most!  In this episode you'll hear: What the catalyst was for Jill to start blogging on the Internet 14 years ago  How the landscape of her industry has changed since then and her thoughts on the idea that the online coaching space is “oversaturated”  What led Jill to join the Performance Mastermind and how attending her first live event helped overcome something she had been resisting  The changes she made after becoming a member that allowed her to scale her business and break through a previous “glass ceiling” she was hitting  An unexpected challenge she faced after making a quantum leap in her business  How Jill went from being a “reluctant leader” to empowered team leader The process she uses for generating new ideas for social media and what she means when she says “quantity begets quality” when posting content  Two questions Jill asks herself when making tough decisions and how she reframes any discomfort she feels in these situations  Her feedback on the Performance Mastermind and advice for any other entrepreneurs looking to level up their businesses For full show notes and links, visit: www.mindyourbusinesspodcast.com/blog/724

It really is about trust within the company culture. And we have to focus on that. So, if you are a business owner, you do have to focus on your company culture, if you do want to have amazing security in your business, because you need everybody to be running at their best and most amazing level. And that goes for in your family too. It doesn't have to be cybersecurity. It could be like just taking care of each other inside of a family as well. Lesley Logan 0:25  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the trust-centric convo I had with Greg Tomchick in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that one, you should go back and listen to that one at some point because it's really freakin good. I totally was thinking how am I going to explain what security is to my listeners and.Brad Crowell 1:27  Cybersecurity.Lesley Logan 1:28  Cybersecurity. I was like, oh, I guess we can talk about being cybersecure helps you be it till you see it. And we didn't even talk about much about cybersecurity, I still don't really know what it is. So it's actually a great interview because you're gonna hear a lot about how to be an awesome human. But first, today is July 18th 2024. And it's World Listening Day. About this day. It's the sound of World Listening Day on July 18th. World Listening Day is hosted every year by the World Listening Project, how many times do we say world listening in a paragraph, a nonprofit organization that is “devoted to understanding the world and its natural environment, societies, and cultures through the practice of listening and field recording.” They explore acoustic ecology, a discipline that studies the relationship between humans and the natural world as mediated through sound. So quiet down, open up your ears, and get ready to study soundscapes on World Listening Day. So what you can do, (inaudible), and you can go hiking without air pods and you could just listen to the sound. Just listen outside and go for a walk around your block without air pods. You could actually just sit in your house without turning any devices on. There's lots of ways to listen to the acoustic ecology. And, you know, what it's mediating through sound to you wherever you are. It's important, you know, so okay, go listen to the world today. Brad Crowell 2:45  Yeah, actually, they may even have some things for you to listen to over at worldlisteningproject.org Lesley Logan 2:51  Cool. Okay, so, coming up, we are super close to leaving for our summer tour. And at the time of recording, five cities workouts are sold out. That's the time we're recording this at the time that this comes in your ears, it's possible that more are sold out. Brad Crowell 3:04  Yeah, a lot more. Lesley Logan 3:06  So you want to go to opc.me/tour to grab your tickets. Yes, you can go to multiple cities. I mean, if you're going to Milwaukee, you may as well come to Chicago or Minneapolis, or Cleveland or something like that. It's gonna be a lot of fun, there's people who are just like totally grouping out, we have merch for the groupies as well. So check it out opc.me/tour. At the time that this drops, we have already accepted people to eLevate and it's possible there are some spots in 2025 left for you to apply to. So if you're a Pilates instructor who is wanting to have a mentorship program that really helps you have more confidence in your teaching, your practice, or connection to the method then go to lesleylogan.co/elevate. We only take 12 people in a group. So don't wait because the next one would be 2026 which is really friggin far away. Brad Crowell 3:49  It's true. Lesley Logan 3:51  Cambodia retreat, our October one is very sold out. But our February one has spots in it. And that one is gonna be amazing because it's a different time of season. So it's actually basically the end of the dry season. And the landscape looks so different. I think that's really cool to see because it helps you understand like, what was going on with these temples and why (inaudible) and like the Mekong River and all this amazing stuff. Plus the sunrises are stunning in February. Would you agree? Brad Crowell 4:16  Oh, I mean, y'all heard me talk about Cambodia before it's my favorite place. Yeah, absolutely. It's a little bit of a different vibe, but it's a great vibe. I mean, we used to actually always do a retreat at the beginning of the year. And then COVID really complicated everything. So yeah, you should absolutely come join us in February 2025. For more information on that go to crowsnestretreats.com, crowsnestretreats.com.Lesley Logan 4:45  And lastly, but not leastly, if you are looking for a workout that works for you finally, that's what OPC is all about. So it is got accountability and community and feedback on your form. And you don't even have to have fancy equipment. There's a mat version, mat only membership version with really amazing classes and lots of support, and you can go to opc.me/40, opc.me/40 it gives you 40 days for $40, which is $1 a day, which is cheaper than a lemon every day, just saying.Brad Crowell 5:15  Before we get started, though, we have an audience question. This is from Alison Trotsky, she DM-ed you here, she said, "Hi, I was wondering if you have any pointers for some Reformer moves to improve knee strength, I use your Reformer flashcards all the time."Lesley Logan 5:32  I love this. So knee strength is really key, it means the muscles above and below the knee have to be strong, which means when you go up the leg, your hips have to be strong and not just flexible, but strong as well. So you want some mobility there, because if the hips are tight, the knees are going to actually be compromised. And so what I would say is if you're on the Reformer, well, first of all, we have a whole workshop on OPC, about reducing knee pain and strengthening your knees. Sonia Ahmed is a physio and Pilates instructor and eLevate grad out of the U.K. and she created that, so you can get that workshop at onlinePilatesclasses.com and you get to keep it forever. And she gave us some amazing exercises that you could do on the mat and also using equipment as well. But on the ReformerBrad Crowell 6:20  Yeah, that one's called Pilates for knee pain. It's a workshop on the site. Lesley Logan 6:24  On the Reformer, I think if you are already doing footwork, you need to know that that is part of what the "strengthen your knees" should be, however, if you're pushing from your knees, you're missing on all the good stuff. And so if you watch my footwork tutorials, I talk about how the knees are not pushing down, it's actually not about opening the knees, it's about working on the back of the legs. And so that would be a good one for you. Stomach massage is gonna be really good. And then also hamstring curls are gonna be really great. Knee stretches are going to be amazing for you. Front splits, like, honestly, it's really hard to choose, there's so many more we can go through. But I would need to know if you're hyperextending your knees. Brad Crowell 6:59  You would need to know?Lesley Logan 7:01  I would, pun intended, apparently. So, Alison, if you are an OPC member, then you can actually send me a video of you doing some of your former moves. And I could see what's going on that makes you think you need to strengthen your knee. And I could give you more and more tailored feedback other than like right now these are just some really good exercises. However, if you are hyperextending your knees, none of these will work. So. Brad Crowell 7:23  Yeah, and we have people submit videos to us every single week, we have something called Form Feedback Fridays, and all of our OPC members are allowed to send in videos. (inaudible) of them doing their practice saying hey, you know, I'm confused on this thing. I'm not sure how you know, whatever. And you can ask whatever question you want to ask. And then our team, the teachers, will actually check it out and give you some feedback. Lesley Logan 7:46  Yeah. Brad Crowell 7:47  Okay, now let's talk about Greg Tomchick. Transitioning from the field to the boardroom. Greg Tomchick, an award-winning cybersecurity coach, former professional baseball player and CEO of Valor Cybersecurity has made a name for himself in the business and technology sectors. He focuses on helping executives cultivate internal trust and improve their leadership capabilities. Greg's approach is rooted in self-discovery and the intentional building of meaningful connections, which he discusses on his podcast, The Connected Mindset Live. As a sought-after speaker, he inspires others to share his journey and insights on building trust from the inside out. Greg isLesley Logan 8:27  He's so cool. Brad Crowell 8:29  Incredibly eloquent and I was surprised to hear him describe himself as the dumb jock in high school. Lesley Logan 8:36  Yeah, there's he doesn't seem at all them. Brad Crowell 8:38  No, in no way. (inaudible)Lesley Logan 8:39  And also very insightful, and curious. And he's also like, in the episode was like, oh, I asked my coaches for feedback. I see people for feedback. He's always looking for feedback, which is like, amazing. I just think he's really awesome. So one of the other, so many things that I loved, we talked about, but he mentioned a rhythm of existence. And he was talking about how our overall lifestyle of how we maintain ourselves as individuals, that we carry our personal life into our company, and that's of company that you work for, or that you run, but we carry it over. And it's so true. I don't, there's no way to compartmentalize like, I do not understand that at all. Brad Crowell 9:19  Well, he was talking about hiring people, I think, or doing interviews and how we hire people based on a resume instead of hiring them based on who they are. And he was talking about how his favorite thing to ask is not like, what do you do for work, but instead it's like, you know, what do you do when you're trying to blow off steam or what do you do? Like, who are you? What do you like to do and what he's hoping to understand is are they, are they like a chaos agent? Is their life chaotic? Lesley Logan 9:47  Because if their life is chaotic, they bring chaos into a company. Brad Crowell 9:50  Yeah. Even, no matter what the resume is, that's how they are, that's who they are, then that's what they're gonna bring. Lesley Logan 9:55  100% This goes for everything, guys, you don't have to be hiring people. We can actually just take this to like friendships, Do you have those friends who just like every thing seems to like tragically happen to them. Like there's just always like, drama in their lives, well, they bring drama into your life, like, that's just how it is, that's who they are. It's okay, if you've been friends with them for 17 years, or like, they know certain people that are super cool. The resume isn't what you're getting, you're getting the actual person. And so in any relationship that you are hiring for, because we are all looking for best friends, partners, people to work with, things like people to hire, get to know them, because that person is what you get. So I think that's a great way of exploring it. And he had said, I just wanna highlight like, because we're like cybersecurity where this come from the episode, he was just saying that, like, security isn't just about technology, it really is about trust within the company culture. And like, we have to focus on that. So if you are a business owner, you do have to focus on your company culture, if you do want to have amazing security in your business, because you need everybody to be running at their best and most amazing level. And that goes for in your family, too. Like it doesn't have to be cybersecurity. It could be like just taking care of each other inside of a family as well.Brad Crowell 11:08  Yeah, listening to Greg talk about that, it reminded me of the time that I worked back in the office. And you could always tell when somebody was down or you know, whatever. And 99% of the time, it was something happening outside of the office. Yeah. Because if it was in the office, and somebody fucked up or whatever, y'all knew it, it wasn't like, you know, he.Lesley Logan 11:32  You could also address it, it wasn't like you would oh, there's Greg, he fucked up the project. You would like talk to Greg, hey, Greg, what happened here? Like, how can we fix this? Like, you kind of actually can resolve a conflict, almost, I would think that with, you can't go to their partner and go, What the hell's happening at home, you're fucking, you're making him have a bad day at work. It's bringing us all down. Like you can't do that. So like, it's a little, you know, hard.Brad Crowell 11:55  Yeah. Well, one of the things I really love that he said was, again, talking about companies and again, making me reflect on my experience, I said, large companies that he has worked with, they want a more people-focused approach to security not just the focus on technology, which I thought was really interesting, because for me, what that means is, technology's changing the cybersecurity space, too. And it's impacting some of the things that before a company like his might come in and be like, here's a recommendation, you got to do this, this, this, this, and this, and he's like today, with the, you know, the advent of login, like one, one, password login, you know, or whatever, all those kinds of tools, they those kinds of tools, make his job as a cybersecurity expert, easier. And he said, actually, a lot of the time now, he's working with them on hiring practices, so that he can understand, they can vet the team that they're bringing in, or the vendors that they're bringing in, because you might actually be inviting the cybercriminal into your space to work at your space.Lesley Logan 13:01  Here's a perfect example. You can all witness it on the Ashley Madison Documentary, highly recommend it, highly recommend it. It's awesome. It is all the things not to do. One of their contractors is who took over the website, held it hostage, not for money, but because of values, and then released all that information that they were supposed to delete. But again, because they didn't hire people who would ask questions. No one was like, hey, do we actually delete the profiles? Will the people pay extra for us to delete the history? No, they didn't. And that's why they got sued. And it was a big bad thing. So just like if you are like, no way this didn't happen. It happens on a big level. Huge.Brad Crowell 13:39  Yeah. And alongside getting to know people before you bring them in. He also talked about once they're in, the value of having just a one-on-one conversation and stopping by their desk or their office and poking your head and actually getting to know them. He said that, you know, I mean, we live in a world today of text messages, phone calls, DMs. He said it's a quick dopamine hit, but nothing replaces the actual one-to-one interaction. So I always thought it was interesting. I mean, we work remotely, right? So it's actually hard for us to do that. Although we do spend a lot of time on Zoom calls and Google Meets and all those kinds of things where we like, like, sometimes we're just co-working with people virtually from the other side of the world. And you know, we are effectively spending time with them, even if it is remotely, but even that I like even more than just a text message or a DM because you really can't feel disconnected. It just feels like you're chatting to, you know, some random people. So yeah, great, really interesting observations. Yeah. Stick around. We'll be right back. All right. Finally, let's talk about those Be It Action items. What bold, executable intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Greg Tomchick. He provided three C's that individuals and leaders can use to foster trust within themselves and their relationships. And I thought this is really cool because he said, you know, half the time, half the battle for cybersecurity is building trust in your team and trust with your clients. And he said the three C's are consistency, compassion, and connection. And so which we love, because that overlaps. Two of those C's are overlapping OPC's core values which I, I love that. But he said, you have to have consistent engagement with someone that you're going to build trust with, you want to have an approach to understand where they're coming from, which is the compassion element of it, asking meaningful questions, like we were already talking about, sticking your head in their office and actually building trust, getting to know them, not just like, hey, what do you do for work? But like, who are you? And what's life like for you? And then with connection, building trust requires genuine connections, hopefully, through deep, you know, more than surface-level conversations. So what about you? Lesley Logan 15:50  Okay, so he talked about this, and I thought was so great, because you can apply this to anything. He said, set your own standards, what a bold statement. And he said, what is this piece? He said take a piece of paper and write one to five and say, what is the standard that I need to have to attract the right person? And this could be for co-working, this could be for relationship, this could be for friendship, this could be for anything like what are your standards? We had Jill Coleman on and she is one of the people who like really, really honed in with as when we worked with her about values. And like, values are the same as standards like and also you could also insert like boundaries, like these are things that are like, required to be with me or work with me or in a relationship with me of some kind. So write them down and have a clear list of the five most important standards you value. There you go. And then he said an example is that like, Greg has transparency and compassion as his values. And so he is really upfront when he meets new people about what those standards are. And it either weeds people out, or attracts the right people in. And they're going to help improve you because they're going to follow with those standards, which means you have to, as well.Brad Crowell 17:00  Yeah, I mean, it was interesting. You talked about just basically introducing himself and being like, hey, this is who I am. Take it or leave it. Lesley Logan 17:07  Yeah. You know, our friend Lauren Zoeller does this as well. She's like, really, like, upfront, she won't like she's like, here's what I need. Here's what it takes to be like a partner, this is the type of conversations I want to have. It's who I am. And you know what, like, I find that she has some very deep upfront conversations that can be very, like conversational, that may not happen on most people's like, fifth or 17th date, that she's having on like, before the date. So I actually think more and more people are wanting to do this, because life is short. We don't have a lot of time. And you don't want to, like get too involved with someone or something or some project, only to find out that the values and standards aren't going to align and you have to get out of it anyways.Brad Crowell 17:46  Yep, I totally agree. Well, love that. We really love Greg, it was, it's been awesome to get to know him in person. We've actually met up with him a couple times. And it's been just great. He's a standard guy. I think, you know, not only has he figured out something really amazing with his cybersecurity company about how to be a leader. But also it's allowed him the flexibility to go around and start speaking from stage about these types of topics. And, you know, it's just been fun to watch him grow. Lesley Logan 18:20  Yeah, love it. And also, I just want to say like, check us out, we had a whole cybersecurity and baseball conversation without really talking about either of those things. So there's very deep levels to all of these things that makes person up. So, thanks Greg for being our guest. How are you going to use these tips in your life? We want to know. I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 18:37  And I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan 18:38  Make sure you share this with a friend who needs to hear it.

And then, now, today, kick ass and take names. It's one of those moments when you're forced to realize that you can't control what other people think, say and do. That sucks. It's really, really probably a hard thing. But you're gonna be better for it.Lesley Logan 0:20  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:03  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the liberating convo I had with Danny-J Johnson and Jill Coleman. I think the J is for Johnson. Brad Crowell 1:14  J is for Johnson. So you just call her Danny-J. Danny-J and Jill Coleman.Lesley Logan 1:15  In our last episode, if you haven't yet listened to that interview, go back and listen to it. These women are badass as they're so fun and they're doing amazing things. And I just, I like, I love watching their stories all the time. So anyways, you can listen to that now or you can listen to this now and you can listen to that later, it's fine. You can do whatever order you want. If you're listening to it in the OPC app, which is free by the way, you can actually just see them lined up with each other, makes it super easy because I'm just gonna say a certain fruit phone does not make it easy to figure out which episode to listen to, in which order because it just automatically downloads the next one and you like are out of order sometimes.Brad Crowell 1:18  It's true. Lesley Logan 1:26  I'm just saying. Brad Crowell 1:54  That's true. That's happened. Lesley Logan 1:55  So today is June 27th 2024 and it's PTSD Awareness Day. About this day, on June 27 we talk about PTSD, a complex disorder caused by experiencing or witnessing trauma. The trauma necessary to cause PTSD can originate from many events — potentially an accident, combat, a natural disaster, or an assault — but there are other ways PTSD symptoms can arise. A trained professional must diagnose PTSD, based on symptoms like hypervigilance, mood swings, recurring and involuntary flashbacks to the trauma, and avoidance. The National Center for PTSD declared all of June to be PTSD Awareness month — you can help their campaign by educating yourself and others about the illness, and sharing help with those who might need it. Very important. We have been trying to get my dad some help for his PTSD, which he is like in denial that he has, and we're like, here are all how (inaudible)Brad Crowell 2:45  Here are all the symptoms that we're self-diagnosing you in but yeah, one of them is not sleeping, you know, and all like all sorts of different things like that (inaudible). PTSD is post-traumatic stress disorder. But this is actually something that has been reallyLesley Logan 3:01  But it's not just for people who've been in combat, you can have PTSD from from a car accident, like they said, or an assault or natural disaster. Brad Crowell 3:08  You can certainly have PTSD from those things as well. You know, any traumatic experience can create that, can create PTSD. The very first movie I ever acted in was about PTSD. Lesley Logan 3:21  Really? Brad Crowell 3:22  Yeah.Lesley Logan 3:22  That's interesting.Brad Crowell 3:23  Yeah. I was, I was working at a film school and one of the students who was a, becoming a director, did an entire movie about it, and he cast me in one of the parts. Lesley Logan 3:34  That's so, it's so cool. I had no idea you were ever in a movie. I know, a lot of first ones. So, there's others.Brad Crowell 3:41  So yeah, there were. One of my really close friends was in the military, multiple tours in the military. And then obviously, like you said, you know, Lesley, Lesley's dad. So, you know, lots of family and friends. Lesley Logan 3:55  Yeah, so I think like, it's really important to make sure that they have the help that they want, they might not be able, it's really easy. I find like my dad would say like, he didn't have as bad as other people. So he, so I think it's really easy for people to compare their own experiences to someone else's and, and make it smaller, like (inaudible). Yeah. So like, it's not PTSD, because, I can't have it because it wasn't as bad as this person, but you can have it. And I read this amazing book, what happened to you, which also explains like based on how you were raised as an infant, your resiliency levels, and it's possible that like, you might not have those tools from being so young, that you might have PTSD over on something that someone else who's sitting right next to you might not have had it on. So like it's so important to not belittle it or shame yourself, please get help or help someone in your life who has it, like find out the areas in you're in your communities that can help them. Brad Crowell 4:52  Yeah. Lesley Logan 4:53  All right. Brad Crowell 4:54  Coming up. Lesley Logan 4:54  Coming up. We're a little over a month away from leaving for our sixth tour, our Summer Tour powered by Balanced Body. We're so excited. Brad Crowell 5:03  That is crazy. Lesley Logan 5:04  I know. It's so, it's great. It's our sixth tour. It's our second Summer Tour. It's our third tour powered by Balanced Body and Contrology. And that allows us to do lots of, lots of cities we probably wouldn't be able to do and meet some incredible people. So we're doing 13 cities. Let's see. Here we go. Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Denver, Lincoln, Nebraska, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Milwaukee, Chicago, Cleveland, Ohio, Dayton, Ohio, Indy, Kansas City.Brad Crowell 5:33  Kansas City.Lesley Logan 5:34  St. Louis, Colorado Springs. Brad Crowell 5:36  That's right. Lesley Logan 5:37  Way, I did a great job.Brad Crowell 5:38  Slayed it, slayed it. Lesley Logan 5:39  I slayed it. I do wonder if I got the St. Louis and Kansas City in the right order. Because but I just don't actually know. Brad Crowell 5:45  So actually, St. Louis, I thinkLesley Logan 5:46  Is first I don't really know (inaudible). You know, the middle of the map is confusing, like Nebraska is more North than I thought. So.Brad Crowell 5:46  Yeah. St. Louis is east of Kansas City. Lesley Logan 5:52  Okay, so then that definitely has a (inaudible). Go to opc.me/tour to get your tickets because it is selling really fast. And we are not hitting (inaudible) any of them. We're not hitting most, most of them again on the winter tour. And our summer tour will not be these cities. So. Brad Crowell 6:13  Actually, none of these will be on the winter tour. Lesley Logan 6:14  Oh, we're not doing St. Louis either. Are we doing Denver? Maybe.Brad Crowell 6:19  Man, that's debatable. Lesley Logan 6:21  That's debatable. Okay, so just know that it's possible. We won't hit any of these cities again, including Las Vegas. Who knows? Brad Crowell 6:27  That's true. Lesley Logan 6:28  Yeah. So OPC.me/tour to get your tickets. Yes, you can come to multiple events do not worry about like, oh, I want to make sure (inaudible), come to ones you want to come to. I mean, some of these are only two hours apart. So like come party with us, come home with the dogs. There's lots of fun prizes. elevate applications are probably open right now. And the reason I say probably is because at the time of recording we have not picked the dates but they open for two weeks. And I want to say it's now because I'm pretty sure the following week is when I'm doing the call. So let's just say they are open. You want to go to lesleylogan.co/elevate, it is my mentorship for Pilates instructors. So if you're not a Pilates instructor this is gibberish to you. If you are a Pilates instructor, this is a master's program, mentorship program, it allows us to spend nine months together really diving deep into the method and ditching the imposter syndrome, ditching the over talking, ditching the hours of prepping, and really helping you connect to your practice, connect to your teaching and also this method. So lesleylogan.co/elevate, I can only take 12 people per group. So just so you know, the next one would be 2026. Brad Crowell 7:28  Right.Lesley Logan 7:29  Yeah. So (inaudible)Brad Crowell 7:29  This enrollment would be for 2025 kicking off in January. So yeah, so don't sit on that one. Next up, we got Cambodia. February 2025. We are taking an amazing group of women with us so far. There may be aLesley Logan 7:30  A few good men.Brad Crowell 7:45  There may be a few good men coming with us too. But there are room for that. Lesley Logan 7:50  You can bring your partners. Brad Crowell 7:52  Yeah, we actually have a ticket specifically for the experience only for people who are like, hey, Pilates isn't my thing. But I want to go do the trip. Absolutely. Welcome to join us. Anyway, go to crowsnestretreats.com, crowsnestretreats.com. Lesley Logan 8:05  If you keep saying I'm going to the next one, I'm gonna go to the next one. Take this one, as we learned from Kel Cal. Brad Crowell 8:12  Yeah, that's right.Lesley Logan 8:13  Tomorrow doesn't exist, only today does. And so there are future trips don't exist yet. Just the ones we've got planned.Brad Crowell 8:19  That's true. That's true. Very, very true. Lesley Logan 8:21  Very unlikely. Brad Crowell 8:22  Why would you come to Cambodia with us? I'll tell you it is an experience of a lifetime. And I don't say that as like a, as like aLesley Logan 8:32  Every one of our retreaters has, like, I'm gonna come back like it's Brad Crowell 8:35  In fact, we've had multiple retreaters join us more than one time. It is just an incredible, incredible trip. The people are lovely. The environment is incredible. The jungles, the temples, I'm not even kidding you, it's The Jungle Book in real life. We literally get to walk around these incredible temples. You know, we're allowed to walk on them, around them, in them through them. It's, I, it's just mind-boggling. We get to eat incredible food. We practice Pilates, we build relationships and friends and fun. We get to go do a lotus farm we get to go like actually on a pond with all these amazing lotus and see the process (inaudible). There's so many incredible experiences in this trip. It is, I think of all the things that we do, what we do a lot, this is hands down my absolute favorite thing to do. And when we are retired someday, I will still do this. Lesley Logan 9:29  Yeah, yeah. No, it's true. It's part of the retirement plan. So crowsnestretreats.com, crowsnestretreats.com Brad Crowell 9:38  That's plural, crowsnestretreats.com. Lesley Logan 9:41  Yeah. All right. And lastly, in case you didn't know, all of this happens because of onlinepilatesclasses.com. And if you are not a member yet, we want to know why. But also we want you to try it out.Brad Crowell 9:53  Yeah, go join us. Lesley Logan 9:54  Yeah, it's OPC.me/40 it gives you a 40-day trial for only $1 a day. So 40 days for $40. And why are we doing 40 days? Because the reality is, is that like, it does take time to start something new. And it's not that it takes 40 days to (inaudible) happen in two days. But also like, we want you to experience two different monthly themes and multiple weekly classes and potentially join us for a live class and get feedback on your form and meet the community. So we want you to be able to have all the amazing experiences because we know that if you do that, you are an OPC life for like so many of our members. So OPC.me/40 for the best, most amazing community in the Pilates world. All right, before we get into Danny-J and Jill Coleman's episode, do we have an audience, a listener question, Mr. Brad?Brad Crowell 10:41  We sure do. Today, Tamara Gomez wrote in and she said she's hesitant to reach out with this question and really tried to figure it out on her own but for a 30-minute Pilates class how many cards would you pick out from your mat Pilates flashcard deck. I'm having a hard time designing the class around the amount of time that I choose. Lesley Logan 11:05  Yeah. So if you haven't yet gotten our mat flashcards, you should get them.Brad Crowell 11:09  Yeah, go to opc.me/flashcards. Lesley Logan 11:12  Yeah. So here's the thing. When Joseph Pilates created his mat work, if you did it on your own, and really, even if you're advanced, it takes you under 30 minutes to do all the cards. Brad Crowell 11:21  All of it. Lesley Logan 11:21  All of that. Brad Crowell 11:22  Yeah. That's gonna be two exercises in the official. Lesley Logan 11:24  I had someone reach out to me on YouTube going, can you create a 50-minute beginner workout on the Tower, Wunda Chair, a 50-minute on the reformer and 50-minute on the mat for beginners. I said, no, it's impossible. There's not even enough beginner exercises on each one, even if I combined them all together it wouldn't be 50 minutes. So like, no, without knowing the level of your class, I'm just going to assume they're all levels. So I'll have a class. So you probably will take out any of the overhead exercises, just be say, on the safe side. And so you'd be left with about 26-27 cards left, that actually could be 30-minute class right there. And if you just leave them in the order that they're in, it already has a set of action transition for you. So you don't have to do any work. You don't have to like reorder it at all. Now if you wanted to shuffle them, and like treat it like a tarot deck and see what comes next. You totally can there's nothing wrong with that. But I would say about 20 to 27 cards would be a 30-minute class without a problem. Brad Crowell 12:19  Yeah. And that's if you're not moving quick. Which was why I was laughing. Do you remember the year that we were at momentum fast and all the teachers were doing the close-out? Yeah, well, how many minutes? Did they give you? Five? Ten? Ten minutes. So and.Lesley Logan 12:33  And people were doing huggy and stretchy and Kumbaya and like all this and like they were you know, just all this stuff. And I was (inaudible), what are you gonna teach? And I was like, well, clearly, I'm gonna do some Pilates because I have it hasn't happened yet. So I just did the whole order.Brad Crowell 12:50  In ten minutes.Lesley Logan 12:51  In ten minutes.Brad Crowell 12:52  Ten minutes.Lesley Logan 12:53  I think I did it in less than that, because I'm pretty good at it. We did one rep of everything in under 10 minutes. The whole thing. And that's when I coined you can crab sooner than you think. And people loved it. And they all crab sooner than they were ready. And also they had done like 14 or 15 events over two days. They were like so sore. They're like, oh, but also like they all did it. And I was so proud of them. So, anyway, Tamara, I hope that helps. Brad Crowell 13:17  Great question. Lesley Logan 13:17  Great question. Thanks for getting the cards also, it really means a lot to me. I love that you use them to class plan. I love that it's helping you nerd out. And if you have any questions, you guys, about the flashcards you can certainly ask us. You can also go to opc.me/flashcards and you'll see all of the decks. Our fifth deck is in print as we speak.Brad Crowell 13:36  Yeah. It's gonna be released this summer. I guess technically it's summer. It'll be released in August or I guess could it be in September? We'll see how the printer is going. I'm pushing for August. Lesley Logan 13:47  He's pushing for August. I'm realistically saying September. I don't like disappointing people. If you have a question you want us to an swer we can answer anything. It doesn't have to be Pilates, it can be all the different things, we have different guests on, so feel free to send your questions in.Brad Crowell 13:59  (Inaudible) ask about all my amazing hats that I wear. Lesley Logan 14:02  Brad really does change his hats and he hopes you notice.Brad Crowell 14:05  But if you only watch on YouTube, then you'll see it. You can DM us on the gram or you can text us at 310-905-5534 to ask your questions. Stick around. We'll be right back. Brad Crowell 14:20  Okay, now let's talk about Danny-J. And Jill Coleman. Danny-J and Jill, co-hosts of The Best Life podcast, began their careers as personal trainers and fitness competitors. They bonded over shared experiences of discovering their husband's infidelities and their evolving views of fitness and nutrition. They aim to help women feel less alone. embrace change and let go of past identities to become the person they are meant to be. Yeah, and I I knew, I knew that story, (inaudible) but I forgot that story. Yeah, I totally forgot that story and, and listening to them rehash that, the experience of how a how they met and how their podcast came to be, was, was a little bit sad, but also a little bit amazing because it brought the two of them together. And, you know, they've been really close friends now for many years because of that. Yeah. Lesley Logan 15:17  Yeah, I think so I think like, I don't know, every time we say this, somebody gets mad and goes, I didn't want my dog to die, that nothing's good gonna come with that. But like, really, everything does happen for a reason, like, good, like you, there's, it's something is going to come out of this new journey that you're having. So this sucks that they are both cheated on. But they ended up having this new, amazing friendship. And now look, they both have amazing dudes that they are with. So like it all, it all works out, and they probably would not be where they are had it not happen. I really love that they share their story. And I love that Jill said you can't control what your spouse and other people in your life are doing. But you can always control what you decide to do. And we decide to make of it. Brad Crowell 16:02  What you decide to do and what you decide to make of it. Lesley Logan 16:04  Yes. So she went, like, that's what like Danny-J did by moving to L.A. and that was really, really hard for her to, the hard part of her life, hard time in her life. And so, but she was able to take some action. And then I liked that they talked about like always being focused on moving forward. So taking action, taking ownership and taking responsibility. So like we talked about like, you know why they started their podcast, but where they are today. And that's part of like, they're taking action, they're focused on moving forward, they're taking ownership and responsibility. It's not easy to do. Like we make mistakes all the time. And we kind of get embarrassed, but you feel like you can take responsibility for the things that go on in your life and how you can control what you're gonna do in that situation.Brad Crowell 16:46  We've definitely talked about this before that you can't control what others think and say and do. You can only control your own actions. And the way that you think, you know, in this case, it was it was really challenging for both Danny-J and for Jill to to empower themselves as their relationships or after their relationships. As they were ending or after their relationships. When they finally realized there's no change, the guys in the relationship, were not interested in fixing it. And both Danny-J and Jill couldn't, you have no control over them, right? So you can't change what they're going to say and do. Even though you felt like you guys have made a decision together to commit to each other, to do all these things, this is actually really challenging for me, because this is literally what happened to me, too, where I was pushing, pushing, pushing, pushing to fix it. And my ex finally said, I don't want to fix it, I will not fix it. And that was really shocking for me. Because why did we even do this in the first place? You know, and that was really, really hard for me to wrap my head around, you know, and I, just listening to their stories that made me kind of relive that a little bit in my of my own story and, you know, relate to them a little bit. And when they made the decision, I can control what I can do. That's what really gave them the power to move on with their own lives. And then now today, kick ass and take names. It's one of those moments when you're forced to realize that you can't control what other people think, say and do. That sucks. It's really, really probably a hard thing. But you're going to be better for it. Lesley Logan 18:22  Yeah, yeah. Brad Crowell 18:24  One of the things that Danny Jay was talking about, was that transformation actually comes slowly. Sometimes it comes slowly, to the point where you don't even notice it. This was after the, you know, after the separation with her ex. She said the last couple of years have been challenging for her. She, her mom passed away, she has like some people broke at her house. You know, she.Lesley Logan 18:51  She was robbed in Mexico twice.Brad Crowell 18:53  Oh, it was, it was in Mexico. That's right. Sorry.Lesley Logan 18:55  I don't know. And I think she was brought up there (inaudible). Brad Crowell 18:57  I thought there was one in Vegas? Lesley Logan 18:58  But there was twice in one week in Mexico. Brad Crowell 19:00  Yeah. And then she, she actually did have she does have PTSD, from childhood trauma. And, you know, she got stuck in a couple of interesting places to that. So she, you know, she decided to start really tackling that internally. She did ketamine, and she's done a lot of therapy sessions. And one therapy, one therapist told Danny something that I thought was, was interesting for me, because we've all heard of fight or flight, right? Or it's like the two things like you're, you're either running or you're fighting. Well, there's a third one that nobody ever talks about. And that's freezing.Lesley Logan 19:40  There's also fawn. There's a fourth. Fawn, a lot of women will fawn. So fawn Brad Crowell 19:46  F-A-W-N?Lesley Logan 19:47  Yeah. Brad Crowell 19:47  I didn't even know that.Lesley Logan 19:48  Yeah, so fawn is like it hap- Megan Fox talks about this when she was abused in a relationship. She was abused and what she did was like fawn which is like it's okay, you're okay. Don't worry, that was my fault, you start to make them feel better and you kind of like, not Damsel, but like you, the way to take control of the situation is to kind of like, it's not to yight back or do nothing. It's the play, yes, yeah.Brad Crowell 20:14  Yeah, this is really hilarious. I was actually going to tell a story about my fight, flight, or I experienced the third one, freeze. When I was camping when I was a kid. I was up in the upstate Pennsylvania, in the, in the woods, like hardcore in the middle of the woods. I was with the scouts and the Scoutmaster said, hey, there are bears here. So, you know, don't carry around food. Don't be stupid. If you see a bear, you know, get loud, right? And my friend decided to play a joke on me. I was adamant that I could walk through the campsite without using a flashlight, because I like night vision and being able to see the stars and stuff. And I was coming back down from my tent to the camp to like the big camp area where all the people are. And he snuck out from behind a tree on all fours pretending to be an animal. And I, I found out what I would do now moving forward, I would freeze and do nothing. Because that's what I did. I was like, like what? You know, and, and so I just looked up, fight, flight, fight, freeze, and fawn. And the examples that they came up with are all about a bear flight, run away from the bear, fight, fight the bear, freeze, play dead, fawn, keep the bear happy. And so I didn't know that. That's actually really, really interesting to me. Anyway, Danny-J was talking about the freeze response. And she said her therapist was, basically said, she's frozen, right? She's stuck. She's stuck in this this moment. And so she started doing more therapy and ketamine, and she had started to have some baby steps, which started to loosen things up in her life and allow some forward momentum to happen. And she said she's really proud of the shift that's begun to happen in her life, because it also sounds very healing. You know, ultimately, so I think that's amazing. Lesley Logan 22:13  Yeah. I just love these ladies. They're just so great. Brad Crowell 22:16  Yeah, both incredibly powerful and exuberant, they're just so fun to be around. They have great energy. Yeah. Love it. Yeah. Also, both of them have incredible minds for business, which is super fun. Because obviously, that's what I love to nerd out about. So, you know, we've, we've worked with both, both of them as coaches in our business over the years, and it's been exciting to take the things that they're suggesting and have experienced and are doing and incorporate them into the some of the things that we're doing, too. So, yeah, anyway, stick around. Brad Crowell 22:53  All right, so finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items, what bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Danny-J and Jill Coleman? Jill was talking about her coaching experience and she starts talking about this as if principle.Lesley Logan 23:10  I had, by the way, I had not heard of this as if principle till after I named the podcast, Be It Till You See It, and it really is the as if principle. Brad Crowell 23:17  Yeah. So she has been working with a couple of coaches herself. And one of them, you know, sells millions of dollars a year in sales. And she started to think about this idea of like, what, what would my, you know, what would my coach do in this situation if he was going to make this decision? How would someone who's making millions of dollars in sales make this decision? Right? And so she began to think I need to make decisions as if I am a millions of dollars business owner, right? Because that's where I want to be, right? Which is, be it till you see it, y'all. So she said, there's going to be a gap, however, between where you feel comfortable and where you want to be. And she said, you need to ask yourself, what is my action here? If I were already the person that I'm trying to become what decision would I be making? What's the way that I can sort of step into that new version of myself, even if I'm still scared, because I am still me today. She suggested to picture the person that you want to be or, or the person that you look up to, that already has accomplished the thing that you're trying to accomplish or achieve the thing you're trying to achieve. And then filter your decisions through that lens. So she said also, she's been making some decisions that scare her, because they're out of her comfort zone. She hasn't made decisions like this before. And she said by committing to actions that scare you, you actually force yourself to follow through because you know, if you make a decision and you're like putting everything on the line, you have no choice now, suddenly, right?Lesley Logan 24:54  Yeah, it's kind of like when we even I know she hired more team when we are working with her and it's like you hired them and you're paying them do a job so you gotta give them the job to do so it's full steam ahead even if it scares you because Brad Crowell 25:06  You better make enough money to pay everyone you know so yeah. Exactly. What about you?Lesley Logan 25:12  Okay I've Danny-J's she said kill your ego and kill the old version of yourself so you can become the person you're meant to be. And I'm like this hard.Brad Crowell 25:20  Kill that ego. Lesley Logan 25:21  Danny-J's the hardest to be (inaudible). But she said, because if you cling to your old self, and how people perceive you, it'll hold you back. And people are gonna try to pull you back with your, into your old identity or be critical of your evolution. This happens. This has happened to me as like, I've evolved people like, oh, you're, you're not like this anymore. You're not like this anymore. I'm like, yeah, no, I don't have the time. I'm not doing that anymore. You know, so I cannot do that anymore. And it's you know, and then if you're a people-pleaser, that can be really easy to like, fall back in line, but you got to kill the ego, and kill the old version of yourself. And she said, stop beating yourself up for wanting to change or be different. And I think that's really, really important. It's okay if you want to be different. You just got to do the things you can be different. But she said, in order to be different, you have to be different. Which seems obvious, but guess what, you might forget that you can't just do the same morning routine, same work, same clothes, same friends, and then expect the day to be different, that is the definition of insanity. And she said you have to be able to let go of who you are to become the person you want to be. So go kill your ego, everyone, that is your Be It Action Item from Danny-J.Brad Crowell 26:30  I love it. Well, I want to know, actually, I want to know how do you kill your ego?Lesley Logan 26:37  I feel like that is the Ego is the Enemy book. And he kind of repeats himself 17 times so I feel like if you listen to the Cliff's Notes version of that, you are totally got it. Um, but yeah, I think that or it's therapy, lots of it, you know, or maybe it's like, honestly, you might not be giving a fuck about what other people think so it might actually be The Suttle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, instead of the Ego is the Enemy.Brad Crowell 27:04  That's both great books. Lesley Logan 27:06  Well, one or both of those books was in If Books Could Kill. And to be honest, I think you just need one sentence from each book. And you've got, you've got the whole book, so you don't need to go buy them. You can just like get the Cliff's Notes, I swear. And that is how you're gonna kill your ego, I think, but also, I'd really think it's going to be part of being it until you see it. It's gonna take kill your ego isn't me going back to Jill's and like, what are the things that you'd be doing if you weren't letting your ego drive you (inaudible) things.Brad Crowell 27:34  Yeah. And ego creates fear. Ego creates that lack of confidence or the other end of the spectrum, ego creates arrogance, or, you know, short sightedness, blindness, those kinds of things. So, you know, ego covers the whole spectrum. Yeah. All right. Fair enough. All right.Lesley Logan 27:51  I'm Lesley Logan.Brad Crowell 27:52  And I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan 27:53  Thank you so much for listening to this episode.

This is the best life.' And we're like, yeah, this is. And so the best life really came out of these moments of things can be so hard and we can be going through the most unimaginable things that we can process and yet still find the good in them and still choose to see like this can be the best.Lesley Logan 0:24  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:06  All right, Be It babes, get ready, because we have some amazing Be It babes, literally, on the pod. And I'm in plural. So I love these two women to the moon and back. I could have done a two-hour interview with them. I could have done two different ones. We might have to have them back just because they're powerful epic women who are extremely, not just vulnerable, but also like integris. And I mean that in that they really do say what they're doing. And they're also not afraid to tell you when they are going to change things because they've actually gone to the transformation themselves. And that's what we're gonna talk about. So they're the host of The Best Life podcast, a podcast I've been listening to since 2019. And they started a couple years before that. Brad actually turned me on. Jill Coleman was one of our coaches for many years. And still someone whose tips and strategies I still think of and use today. She's just amazing. Danny-J has been a great person for me to learn from she has been in coaching sessions that I've done with Jill on Money Mindset and also really helped us with some ideas on a couple of launches that we've been doing and she's just a breath of fresh air with just amazing tips and things for life. So you're going to learn so much from these two women, it's going to be really, really fun. And I hope that you check out their podcast, because if you like this one, you're gonna like that one. And I also want you to know that you are just the most incredible people. Thank you for being here. Holy moly. I can't believe what episode number we're on. We couldn't do without you. So thank you for sharing this podcast with a friend and thank you for being part of the Be It family. And also, more importantly, thank you for being it till you see it each and every day. You're amazing. Lesley Logan 1:26  All right, Be It babes. I'm super stoked for this stuff. This finally happened. I've had these two women on my list for quite some time. Part of it was me just like waiting until like, I was a better podcaster. And then it was like I really wanted to just highlight an amazing way. And then life gets really busy. But we finally have these amazing women, Danny-J and Jill Coleman. Thank you all so much for being here. Just a quick little, little thing that I have to say before I have you introduce yourself, you guys. Jill, doesn't even know when we actually first met, but I know when we first introduced, we were introduced to her and we listened to every single thing she taught in a 30-minute little training, wrote it down, ran through her amazingness and then bought a house. So we always said this is the house that Jill built. And then we were introduced to Danny-J because of Jill and her podcast. And I just, I just love Danny J, how you you're so uniquely different than Jill but also like the two of you are two peas in a pod. So I've learned so much from both of you and your amazing personalities. Can you tell everyone, Danny-J first, who you are and what you rock at? And we'll go to Jill. Danny-J Johnson 3:52  Yeah, well, thanks for having us on this. And I know it's been a process to get on the show. Jill and I are both definitely different. But the way in which we're the same is that we don't like to reply to emails or schedule. We had such a challenge to figure out when to make this work. But yeah, so I started in the fitness industry. And that's how Jill and I met, you know, over a decade ago, which is really crazy. And I've had a lot of pivots in the meantime, I think a lot of us who started in the fitness industry go into coaching or personal development or mindset work because I think that when you're working with people in fitness, you realize how much mindset is such a big piece of the journey. And so over the years, I've done that, I've done a lot more public speaking and what, you know, went through some big major life transitions over the last couple of years, not that we all didn't because of the pandemic but so in the meantime, I have just been working on the podcast, doing a little bit more speaking and doing some behind the scenes stuff, coaching other people helping them with launches, and working on a documentary. So that's where I'm at right now.Lesley Logan 4:56  You never cease to amaze me with the different things that you do. (inaudible) So, can you tell everyone in case they don't know how amazing you are as well and what you rock at? Jill Coleman 5:09  Yeah, just casually being like, yeah, there's gonna be a documentary about my life. Lesley Logan 5:14  I know. Okay, we'll get into that, but. Jill Coleman 5:16  Yeah, we need to talk about that. Um, yeah, I am so excited to be on this podcast, and I can't wait for the recap. As you know, I love you and Brad, and I am so excited and just honored to be here. And yeah, you and I and Brad have worked together for the last few years on business stuff. And you and I do know that we met at, it was, what, Chris and Laurie Harder's event? You were in Fast Foundations. And I went, and basically, they were like, hey, can you come and teach? What are you excited about? And I was like, Dude, I love talking about launching, and basically talk for like, 90 minutes with a whiteboard, which is on brand for me. And you followed it up, and you guys said, hey, you know, we pretty much implemented your exact this is from like a gist of speaking engagement. Like you guys took it, you ran with it, and you fucking crushed your next launch, which was really awesome. And then that started our relationship. So like, Danny, I was in the fitness industry for a very long time, still have a hand in the fitness industry. But mostly do business coaching at this point, you know, I love fitness, love nutrition, but I feel like I'm a little bit on the outside looking in. If I'm going to a conference, it's a business conference. So I feel like even though I still love health, fitness, wellness, I don't think you can get away from that. If you want to have a successful business you have take care of yourself. But when it comes to what I'm passionate about is really helping fitness and wellness pros build their online business and bringing them online and being able to create the life that they want, have autonomy, flexibility, financial freedom, all that good stuff. Lesley Logan 6:33  Yeah, yeah. You were doing already, obviously, when we met, but it's been cool to see how you've changed that, leveled it up and dialed even deeper into that. Okay, but the two of you together have The Best Life podcast. And I kind of want to start with that just a little bit. Because I've even watched that go through an evolution. What I love about talking about the show is like life isn't very linear. And we have we all change as things go, and you guys have even changed what that podcast focuses on. So can you talk a little bit what The Best Life was when it started and like, and then how that journey has gone?Danny-J Johnson 7:09  The Best Life started, so Jill and I had talked about doing a podcast, I think individually and together for a long time I like I think most of us have, probably less I'm just gonna guess that when you first thought about doing a podcast, when you started was probably a big gap of time, at least for I'd say it was like a couple years. And I think it was like, what do we talk about what kind of podcast and Jill and I went through some big stuff. We were both married. We, I think how Jill and I became really good friends was this we, we met in 2013 at an event. And I remember having this cup, we went to dinner, we knew of each other, we went to dinner. And I remember we were talking and we just kept saying me too, me too. Like, I just felt like we were living these parallel lives. We were the same age, oor husbands were the same age, we were doing, we were both in fitness. And then we both kind of went to coaching fitness entrepreneurs. And we decided to meet up in Vegas. And we I thought we would have like a little couples trip and she said, hey, let's just meet as girls. And she shared that her husband had had an affair and they were separating. And I remember just thinking how could anyone have an affair with Jill as their wife like she's gorgeous and smart and attractive. And she could share? You know her thoughts on that. But literally, I think it was eight months later, same thing happened to me. And I was really embarrassed to talk about it. And she had called me and I, finally, she was the first person I told. And she said, you know, come stay with me in California. And I was like, are you serious? Because I remember thinking I don't know where I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go have to live with my parents or something I didn't know what to do. And so I moved out to Los Angeles, stayed on her couch for a month. And we were both just kind of rebuilding our life and going through one of the hardest times we had been, been through together. And we had this moment we were sitting on her balcony in Santa Monica, we were drinking wine. And I'm sure crying, at least I was. And we were looking at the sunset. And she was just like, "This is so cool we get to be here. This is the best life." And we're like, "Yeah, this is." And so The Best Life really came out of these moments of things can be so hard and we can be going through the most unimaginable things that we can process and yet still find the good in them and still choose to see like this can be the best. And we had some of the best times during that time. We laughed and we went through some crazy things. But the best life really was about that. And we shared that story about the affairs in our first two episodes. And we just kind of looked at each other and said if this helps one person feel less alone and like we did then we want to keep doing it. And so it started as being able to share those kinds of stories, helping people feel less alone, just sharing our journey. Of course, the first few years of The Best Life were us being single and going through crazy dating, and now we're both in long-term relationships. And so that's really changed, but I think the overall arching theme of The Best Life has still been helping people feel less alone, going through life transitions, how to look at them differently and change your perspective. And so that part, I think hasn't changed.Lesley Logan 10:11  Yeah. Jill Coleman 10:12  Yeah. I'm like, why am I tearing up on YouTube about that story? We had talked about the podcast for a while. And then but we were kind of like, we don't really know what to talk about at this time. Like, I feel like, people talk a lot more now about infidelity. And, you know, we have some friends who have like huge platforms who have since talked about being cheated on and going through infidelity and betrayal. But when Danny and I started in 2017, it like, wasn't like, it was kind of taboo to talk about, it was like, kind of embarrassing, you know, especially with us, two people who had audiences. And both of our ex-husbands were a kind of a big part of our brand, too. So there was this feeling of like, you know, can I do this alone? Or, like, you know, how does this look, you know, Danny had her ex-husband at some of our products. So it was like, so being able to share that we see a lot more of that now. But we never wanted to be a show, or we never wanted to be coaches that help people like marriage counseling, that wasn't our thing we weren't like, because we do get people who say like, should I say or go and we're like, dude, like, above my price with my written pay grade, right? Like, that was never the thing. So we always took the angle of look, this stuff is happening in your life, you can't control what your spouse does your partner does what other people in your life are doing, but you can always control what you decide to do and what you decide to make of it. And I think that really was the idea that you have a locus of control and a time in your life, whether it's any kind of loss doesn't have to necessarily be betrayal, any kind of loss, you have this, you have something you can do, you can still be in your power. You know, Danny moving to LA, probably one of the hardest times of her entire life. But she action that, she could have stayed in Utah, and like, you know, when I talked to her she's driving around and like crying in parking lots. I was like, what are you doing? You know, she she could have easily just tried to stay, she could have tried to like, you know, work on it. And you know, she did to a certain degree, but her ex was very clear about how he didn't want to work on it at that time. So, you know, she was able to action something, even in a time when she felt was completely betrayed. It wasn't her fault. And I felt the same way. And so I think for us, it's always been about like, that thing happened to you. And it fucking sucks. And that person might be an asshole, or whatever. But there's always something else that you can do. And so we've always focused on moving forward taking action, taking ownership, taking responsibility, what is that next version of you look like? And so yeah, I love that you said the best life has evolved because it certainly has we, you know, we're not going out drinking until like two in the morning, every six days a week like we were doing just trying to like cope and laugh and get through it. We had this one saying that for like about two years, we're just like, what else are you gonna do? You know, you're going through some of the hardest time in your life, you just, you do what you can. And so, you know, Danny hasn't even been drinking for the last 18 months, you know. So it's like, we've completely shifted, what our focuses is and I've definitely doubled down a lot more in business in the last several years. So it just evolved. And we've been able to luckily bring our audience along for that ride. Lesley Logan 13:06  Yeah, I guess like, I would love to chat a little bit about that evolution, because I think a lot of people don't make changes, because they're like, what are people going to think? What are people going to say? And obviously, like, you already went through that with talking about the infidelity and talking about being single. But did people struggle as you guys got into relationships? Did you guys even like hesitate on sharing some of the transformations as the podcast was already going, because I feel like a lot of people, they know what they want to do. But they're that taking that next step where they could disappoint people is really the hardest thing to do.Danny-J Johnson 13:39  I think transformation sometimes is really slow and gradual. So you don't notice. Like I don't think we got into our relationships thinking they were going to be five, six years later. So you know, we were dating, thinking, H guy was next. And so I think that it's been I know that there was one review that said something about how we were different. And maybe we were just checking the boxes, and I think there was a time around when my mom passed away, where we had kind of, we'd pulled off and just by necessity, right, I just wasn't there mentally and, and then we got back to it. And it was a little bit slow going. And it has changed. But I think our audience changes too, like Jill and I started over a decade ago. So we're not the same 25-year-olds and we're, our audiences ain't either so I think they also expect that and they probably, a bigger audience, if they haven't changed too, they leave and new people come in and so we don't really notice that as much and to be honest, it's not like we can be the same and I don't think we should I mean, I can't I'm not single-just-divorced Danny and neither is Jill and we probably shouldn't be that and if we are then we're not really a personal development guest.Lesley Logan 14:54  Right. Right. Jill Coleman 14:55  Yeah, and not that you need to like necessarily be in a relation on that not the next evolution but I also think, you know, people follow The Best Life not because Danny and I are like the expert at everything, they follow it because it's good listening. And it's fun. And it's two girlfriends, you know, kind of processing stuff, a lot of times, we'll be on an episode. And it started out being about this thing. And then all of a sudden, it's evolved into like this. And before I know it, like one of us is crying and like, and that we're having this really vulnerable conversation. And so I don't know that people are like, oh, yeah, Jill and Danny are experts at whatever, you know. But they will like to listen, because it's a good conversation because oftentimes, we challenge each other and we don't agree on everything. So I think there's, it's just like conversations you would have with your girlfriends, every I would say probably 80% of our reviews for the podcast, say something like, I feel like I'm just hanging in the living room with my girlfriends and chatting. And so we've never tried to say, I think our even our tagline is like, real, raw, sometimes insightful, like, we're not always, you know, go to Huberman or go to like us, he's not, he's a little bit canceled, but like, go to someone else, right, if you want the research studies and shit like that. That's never really been our style. Our style has been just like real and raw. And that's what people tell us. So. Lesley Logan 16:03  Yeah, I, thank you for sharing that. And I do think you're right, Danny-J, like, transformation does happen slowly, sometimes, like, we'll go through that journey with you. And it's kind of it's the rare person who maybe they were listening for a while, and then they popped in like they've changed like, that might, might be the thing. I want to get into, so, Danny-J, you've you've done a fitness, and then in coaching, and then finance coaching, and now you've a documentary. So can we chat a bit about because I think, you know, you, to me are such a permission giver of really following what your heart is saying and like what you're drawn to. And, you know, my perfectionist overachievers, who are listening, they're like I said, I was gonna do it like this, I'm gonna do it like this. And I, maybe you do it like that. But I feel like you're like, no, I, this is how I'm gonna do it, I feel you just give me a lot of permission to kind of just go a different way. So can you talk a little about how you got to what you're doing now in this documentary? Danny-J Johnson 16:55  Yeah, sometimes I feel mad at myself for not just sticking to one thing, because like my friend, Cassie, she's the brand blog allottees. And I remember looking at her maybe five or six years ago, and I was like, Man, if I just stuck with Sweaty Betties, which was my fitness brand, for longer, I would be a lot more successful if I just stayed there. But I had these, and every single time it's been a moment of just, I cannot do this thing anymore. And it's like some physical feeling in my body that I just can't stand whatever it is. And that, like the Sweaty Betties moment, I was actually at an orphanage and there was a very, very specific moment where I was hungry. And there was nothing to eat and someone brought us these peanut butter sandwiches made with Wonder Bread. And I was like, I had two simultaneous thoughts as one, I'm not going to eat those kinds of carbs. And two, I think I was like, I can't believe that I am seeing that shit right now, when I'm in an orphanage with all these starving kids. And that's all they get. And so I had this like, holy shit moment of, wow, I'm so privileged that I can choose what kind of carbs I'm going to eat. And this is like all there is to eat at the moment. And so I came home, really, really like having this inner dialogue of, I have so many clients that are like, can I eat this? Can I eat this and I'm like, you're so lucky, you get to have the choice to eat whatever you want, like get over yourself. And so I stopped doing meal plans really shortly after that. And I started to really focus on just what was behind that. It was like, okay, I noticed I attracted a lot of binge-eating clients. And it was like, it's not really what you're eating. It's what's eating you. And so I got really into what was the deeper stuff. Now to use the word trauma is a little more like, I guess, the trendy thing, but it's like, what are the traumas behind that? What are the things that you're processing that are making you overeat? And so that really intrigued me. So did like success, mindset and mindset stuff started to intrigue me. And so I started to shift started to talk about it, but it was kind of gradual, I'd have these kind of conversations online, and people would either jump in on it or not. But I found that the conversations I was having other people were maybe having these insights at the same time. So it turned into another gradual thing. When I look back. I'm like, how did I get from here? Like I was an acrobat at SeaWorld to what I'm doing now. And there's no linear line. But as I look back to each of the like little steps in the conversations in between, it does make sense how it's evolved. The pandemic was a big one. You know, none of us saw that coming. None of us saw how things would shift. But again, it brought up things for all of us to kind of contemplate. There were conversations that were being had about racism and privilege and things that I hadn't concerned myself with before. And that shifted a lot of the ways I think, and the ways I show up. And so how we got to the documentary, was this completely random and also on brand as Jill would say, I was in a bathroom at the Ritz Carlton, Jeff and I just went to go hang out and kind of work there. We were visiting in Orange County and met this woman in the bathroom and she complimented my hair. And about two and a half years ago, I lost a ton of hair. So I was wearing it, it was really thin, and I was really embarrassed. So I bought a halo like, it's an expensive headpiece like extra hair. And she goes, your hair is so pretty, and me, I can't take a compliment. That's not true. So I was like, thank you, but it's not my hair. And I literally pulled it off and showed her that I had this fake hairpiece on. So she started laughing. And I told her where to get it. And I was like, oh, I'll send you a link. So I got her phone number and sent her this link to get the hair. And she was probably in her 60s. Or like 50s. And I don't know how it came about but I, she somehow got a hold of my TED Talk. And my TED Talk was in 2021. And I share a lot about my life story. I was pregnant in high school, and I was suicidal. And she watched it and she text me and she said she saw this and she wanted to do a documentary on me. And I Googled her found out she's like this documentarian and she lives in Beverly Hills. She happened to be in Orange County at the Ritz for lunch with her friends. And I said, okay, and I didn't really take her seriously because I've dealt with Hollywood and TV people before. And nothing ever comes of it. But a few months later, she had me come out to our house and do some filming. A couple months after that, she flew to Vegas to do some filming. We're doing some filming in two weeks. And I talked to her and she's like, I want to get this done and have it out and ready for film festivals by 2025. So she's like, on it. And she's a legit person, she's won a lot of awards, and she wants to enter this into to, the film festivals. So it's really gonna be based loosely on my life, which is, I have an interesting story with family and my, I came from a sperm donor, and I placed my daughter for adoption. And so I don't even know the storyline of the documentary, but I know it's just gonna be based, based loosely on my life and like familial and bloodlines and that kind of thing.Lesley Logan 22:08  That's so random. And also, it makes a lot of sense that it's everything to you. And I love these, I love those random moments. The other day, I went floating, and every time I float, my hair rarely gets wet. And so I don't really spend the time to shower and wash my hair because it's, it's a lot, not complaining, very blessed. But it would be, I would, the person after me is going to take, is gonna be half an hour late, like it's just going to take time. So I was like, oh, it's a little wet. So I rinsed it just like in the bun and just like rinsed where I thought the salt water hit. And I get out and my hair is like dripping wet. And I'm like, but it's not wet, right? Like it's just like a little section. It's like dripping wet. So I like did it again. I'm trying to dry it in a rush trying to get out and Brad's like there is so much salt in your hair. Like you're like what has happened? I was like, I don't know, I've rinsed like I did a little rinse and normally it doesn't get wet. At any rate, we called five different salons to do a hair wash. None of them were available. Went to Great Clips. I can't believe I was gonna say that. I was like, I called the guy, I'm like, but they can't ruin it, right? If they just wash it. I said, yeah, I'm like, I'll be there in three minutes. I walked in, like you have to wait and I'm like, I have a plane to catch. I've salt down my hair. So Brad's like, I'm gonna find someone, calls another salon. He said, we're gonna have lunch and you're gonna have your hair washed this place in an hour. I was like, okay, drops me off. And he realizes he left his computer, left his computer at The True Food. We're having lunch, and we're in Nashville. So he goes to get his computer. And he's like, hey, just walk over. I'm at this restaurant next door. And I was like, all right, it was not our plan, was not all we had planned for that day, we're gonna do (inaudible) a the airport, and I go there and this guy sits down next to us. And we're there for half an hour and a woman walks by and she's like, your hair is so beautiful. Now it just got washed. I didn't even let them blow it out. Like, this was like, I gotta go. And I was like, oh, thank you so much. And then the guy next to next to us. He says a compliment. We start talking. He had just lost his wife two weeks ago. He's like looking for a place to live. He's trying to change his life. It was the most weird thing that it's been to soon it has been one week since it happened so I have no idea it's gonna come from him. I'm like, there. We were supposed to be there for him that day, or there's something coming from this because you don't call four salons just to get a hair wash and end up leaving a computer at True Food and meeting a random person for nothing. But I find people tend to get a rush and realize things are happening and they shouldn't be doing it. And they don't take the time to have those little moments. So I love hearing what came from that. Jill, I'm sure it's not been linear either. But I feel like you know you were in fitness and then you're a fitness business and you really have been like going down the fitness business as you said. Also, though, I remember a time when you're like I like my business has been me and a couple of people and I got to watch you change that. And so I want to hear more about that because you are one of the first people after I did this podcast I heard you talk about the as-if principle and I feel like you really live by that and Be it till you see it. It's kind of that as-if principle. So can you talk about that transformation there? Jill Coleman 25:05  Yeah, I will say it has been like fairly linear. So similar to Danny having a fitness brand, and realizing and I hate this word because it's so trendy, but like realizing that mindset is just such a huge piece of the fitness transformation. And really, really just me getting out of the obsessive sort of dieting, I just felt out of my integrity, like giving people meal plans, and it's similar to Danny. So people within a couple of years of me starting Jill Fit in 2010 I was still working full time. But within a couple of years, people were like, how are you doing what you're doing? And I was like, well, I don't really know. But I guess I can like help you if you want to start a blog. So it kind of just started like that. And then over the years, I started finding myself just feeling way more interested in learning business than continuing to learn fitness and nutrition. And I still obviously value that. But I started really just going down the business rabbit hole, and it kind of became just this personal brand. I mean, you know, where it was more of a lifestyle, people were like, oh, Jill's fitness business, like it kind of was this big, you know, sort of melting pot of a lot of different things. But in in that at that point, especially going through divorce, infidelity moving across the country. One of the things that I realized during that time was that while I didn't have control over what my spouse was doing, what he was thinking, what he was going through, I always had control over my business. Like, you know, I had control over this thing. If I worked harder, I made more money. If I got better at it, I made more money, I was able to financially leave my marriage. And that became a huge why for me, because a lot of women want to leave their marriage if they're going through something like that, but can't financially. So I remember when I decided to leave. In 2015, I was driving across country from North Carolina to a new place I had gotten in Los Angeles and the first night I was, and I've told this story on the podcast, but the first night I was in St. Louis and it was like the worst day of my life. I left it like five in the morning, said goodbye to my husband at the time, and was like literally just going to start a new life. I drove 16 hours, like no radio, no music, like, I was crying the whole time pretty much, get to St. Louis, like nine o'clock at night. And I remember being like, God, this is the worst fucking day like this is the shittiest day in my life. If I can even find five things to be grateful for on the shittiest day, then this isn't that bad. And it was tough. But I was like, yeah, and all of it was front it was all forward facing it was like everyone I'm going to meet in Los Angeles, the opportunities that are going to be there what I can do with my business. And one of them was the fact that I was financially secure enough to be able to leave and not only leave, but moved to Los Angeles, where the rent is crazy, and, and all that kind of stuff. So for me, that started this whole feeling of like, this is the why in my business, we work mostly with women. So I'm like, this is where the business coaching ties in. So I don't want to be your divorce, you know, coach, this, I want to be your personal development coach, I want to be that person who gives you a life raft, when you're in that moment where you need to make shit happen. And so for me that really kind of started that trajectory. But to your point, those first few years in L.A., single dating for the first time since I was 18. So you know, I'm like, I remember first, first time getting on a dating app. I downloaded like Tinder or something. And I literally thought people could see me like I was like, like, I was kinda like, can they see me right now? I just have no idea. So. So (inaudible) I'm like, what are they seeing right now? So a year later, of course, Danny moved out. And then you know, for a year we just kind of fogged around, we were still working at the time, but we were trying to figure shit out. And so for me, the business was not my priority. I was like, well, we just have this thing going over here making enough money to keep it going. But it really wasn't my passion at that time. But then pandemic hit. And at the beginning of the pandemic, it was such a strange time for online business owners because I was thinking, shit we're, we're not gonna make this. No one have any money. No one can buy coaching. You know, like all these like sort of luxury, you know, purchases are going to be out the door. The opposite happened for me. So within, I would say, six to 12 months, by early 2021, I was up to my eyeballs in one-on-one coaching. And I had never wanted to start a business where I would just be another quote personal trainer, but be online and bbe on Zoom for eight hours a day. I was like on Zoom like eight hours a day, four days a week. And I remember saying to myself, Jill, you're just right back in the gym, like this is just a different version. And at that point, I realized that I needed to scale and I needed to figure this out. I had always been just go go go go go. I had to slow down. And you know, what's the phrase like take a step back, take two steps forward. And at that point, yeah, we started growing the team and I started to really just like stepping into leadership and you're referring to the as-if principle which is actually a book by Richard Wiseman. I love this book so much. And at that time, I was like alright, if I want a different business model, and at the time my mentor was James Wedmore. He's still my mentor. But I remember I went to an event and he was speaking at it, it was our first mastermind event, and he was talking about his journey to, he has a $12-million business, but he's talking about his journey from and he's explaining all the things he does. And I'm like, this guy has the exact same business model as me. Like he does courses, he does coaching, he does group offers, he does, you know, all these kinds of things. The only difference is he's made different decisions. Although that he's not smarter than me. He's maybe doing it a little bit longer than me, but the only difference is he's made different decisions. So I was like, it's like, you know, if you think about his all same ingredients, he just has, you know, a wedding seven tiered wedding cake, and I got an easy bake oven cake, right? It's, it's sugar, butter, flour, like all the same things. Why couldn't I do that? For the next year or two, I made all of my decisions based on what would the $10 million business owner do? What would the seven-figure business owner do in this situation? So in that way, that's how I just went through and made decisions. And I didn't like making some of those decisions. So it was like, would a seven-figure business owner invest here or not? Yeah, they probably would. Would they hire someone and go through that? Yeah, they probably would. Would they outsource? Would they trust someone with this? Yeah, they probably would. Would they step into leadership here and have the conversation? Yeah, they probably would. And so I had to sort of project all of these things that I wasn't comfortable doing yet. But realizing that that next version of me would do that. And so I just made the decision based on that. And of course, you know, like, within a year, we were at seven figures and in scaling sense. So it works. Lesley Logan 31:26  Thank you for sharing that. Because that is I think it's really easy for people go, oh, they can do it. I can't do it. Like it's easier for them. And, and I love that you sat there like no, actually, we just made different decisions. Because I have, we all have the same ingredients. And so that's it's been it's been really, it's been really fun to watch. I've also benefited from, from your amazing education information, like Brad and I still like use everything that you've taught us in our business. And we almost hit seven figures last year, like so close, so close, which is, it's just amazing to be able to say that, especially with what has been going on the last four years, it's even now how we can grow our business is very different than 2020, it was much easier, we'll say it felt easier. Anyways, even though it was like scared to death. Okay, so, ladies, what are you most excited about right now, because I feel like you, you both have the best life that you get to do together, but you have these other projects that you're doing apart. And first of all, it takes a really great communicative relationship to like be able to keep coming together. I feel like it would've been really easy for you guys to have quit your your co-projects several times. So what are you most excited about right now?Danny-J Johnson 32:37  I actually want to touch on that. Because we have we've had, of course over the years, you know, people who want to do business coaching and or who we have business coach and who want to do a podcast and we've had, and even an episode on people who've asked us should I have a podcast partner? And both Jill and I have answered this no. Which is hilarious, because it's been such an amazing thing for us. But I think we know that what we have is really unique. But we're also very open in like Jill has her, her brand and her business, I have mine. And we have also chosen to make this work. And it's not easy. It's not easy to make two schedules come together. It's not easy to like I don't live in L.A. anymore. There's a lot of changes that have happened in both of our businesses and our personal lives and, and sometimes when you work with a partner and I had a business partner when I started this Sweaty Betties, and I was really excited about the brand. And I had a big vision for where I wanted to go. And she was not on board with that. And then she went through some personal stuff and it fell apart. And that broke my heart. And that was one thing that I remember thinking I never want to go in business with anyone again. And so this has been a really conscious, for lack of a better word, like conscious relationship, Jill and I had. And just having the communication of going. And one thing that's great about our partnership in this is we pick up the slack when the other person has something going on, you know, and we've, we've also been really flexible with how The Best Life looks. We've gone, like, we don't always have to be on the same episode. We can have solo episodes, we can have one person interviewing and the other person not show up. And so that flexibility has allowed us to be consistent because the hardest thing and you I'm sure you've seen this with podcasting is consistency, to show up every week and to publish every week is really freaking hard, especially when it's not like openly making money or there's not a direct payoff. It takes a long time and it takes a lot of momentum to get going. So it's funny that we say not to have a partner when we I think we have probably one of the most ideal partnerships when it comes to working together. But to be honest, what I'm most excited about is just the fact that I'm fucking excited about anything again. I had a really rough couple of years. My mom passed away and then I went through some robberies and I really like got stuck in an interesting place. I would honestly say a lot of it was PTSD. And I, I recently started some ketamine therapy about two months ago. And I got on with a, I did like this integration session, which I didn't expect anything out of honestly, I've done a ton of therapy, I have a lot of different therapists. And so this was some lady that I don't know what her qualifications were. And I was kind of just rolling my eyes. But she made an interesting reflection back to me, when I was sharing about some things. And I, she said, I was in a deep freeze in there's fight, flight or freeze, right? When you go through, you know, different things. And I was like, yes, it felt like the most real thing she said, because I was really struggling with feeling stuck. And I've always been a person who can take action to do something. And yet, I felt like I couldn't move. Like I couldn't make decisions. I couldn't, I didn't have any thoughts in my fucking brain. And it was really, really upsetting to me, because the person who I know myself to be would do something, and yet, I felt like I couldn't do anything. And I was very, very stuck. And so I feel like I've been moving out of that taking baby steps, finally, feeling like I have some momentum. And so there's not anything in particular I'm excited about, I'm just like, excited that I feel like I have some momentum again. I'm definitely excited about the documentary, but I am kind of tampering my expectations on that. It's just something on the side. But I have been learning a lot the last couple of years, you know, working with different people on the back end. And so I've been really proud of myself on what I've learned and what I've built some where I haven't been as front-facing. And so yeah, I'm just excited. I'm excited to be excited again.Lesley Logan 36:40  I think that's that's actually a really cool thing to be xcited about, you know, so thank you for sharing that. I think a lot of people put pressure on themselves to be excited about one particular thing. So that's really cool. I have a girlfriend, who's an incredible doctor, who does ketamine therapies, and it is incredible what can happen. I'm glad you went with someone, I had a friend who tried to do it on her own. Don't do it on your own guys. With facilitator. Jill, what about you? Jill Coleman 37:06  So one of the things I'm excited about. So I know this is a little bit counterintuitive, but most of the stuff that I do talk about and that I'm excited about is the business stuff, especially at the leadership, I remember going to look at business owners who have like 10 people on their team. And I'm like, that's the worst. Like, I want to just go to Australia for a month and no one bother me and do all these meetings on my schedule. And of course, then I decided to scale. And now we have nine-person team. But I really gotten excited about stepping into that role. I think for a long time, I really loved being a solopreneur and being able to go from idea to implementation in like a couple of hours. And you know, we can still do that to a certain degree. But, you know, I have someone who's like, the head of operations in the company is like, hey, I need this thing. And I'm like, what are you talking about? That's in two weeks, like, what, what, like, I used to just do that right before I would do it. So it's definitely forcing me to step up as a leader. And when it comes to entrepreneurship, I know that a lot of people are like, it's so crazy, it's so chaotic, you never know what's gonna happen, or like, they feel like it's really risky. I've never been someone who has taken a lot of risks, to be honest. Like, even when I left my corporate job, I still pretty much was able to, like, just replace what I was making in person with my online business. So I was never that person who's like, I want to sleep on my friend's couch for six months, while I'm getting it. Like I've never been that person, I was like, I need to have cash on the side, I need to have plenty of, you know, savings and stuff like that. But one of the things I'm really excited about is we've just been talking about (inaudible) the business, if we really want to scale, right, like if we want to scale, for example, James went from 2 million to 10 million in a year. And I'm like how, though, like, how did that even happen, like logistically? And I don't think that it's possible to think your way to that level of scale. I think you have to input something different. And this is where the person development side of business comes in. Who am I showing up as? Right? Like, what am i What's the block that we were talking before we turn on the mic about the big leap? I think one of the big things that I'm sort of going through personally is just like what does the next version of Jill look like? Because the next version of Jill, the JillFit will just be the effect of that it will just be the result of me stepping into a new level of leadership. And so that's really what I'm focused on this year is like, what does that look like? And I might have to get uncomfortable again, one of the things that I love that Brendon Burchard says he says some success is the biggest deterrent to more success. So I think it's really easy. When you have a level of success, you're like I'm good here. It's harder to be like, why would I want to get uncomfortable again? And so I think for me, it's not going to be a logistical like okay, just more ad spend, a little more ad spend. But it can't just be that it's going to have to be a massive, you know, ego death, it's going to have to be a massive shift. And so that's really what I think I'm sort of up against and I've been a little bit reluctant to go there. But I think that's the only way that we sort of that I can get to the next level of business. It's not going to be about more ad spend doing the same thing, just doing it more it's going to be a completely different version. Lesley Logan 39:57  Yeah, I understand that. I was realizing I wasn't loving, like, the business has grown but where I was in this little leader and Brad's the CEO of our company, but like, as the visionary person, I wasn't actually spending a lot of time in the vision of the future. And so I was feeling very stuck. And I was looking at my schedule it's like, well, of course, I'm stuck. I'm working with the schedule that I had with the business that we had. And we've grown it and I, this schedule has to change. And so I was calling it my dream schedule. And my, one of the coaches we've worked with, Corinne, was like, so you believe dreams come true. And so you can call it a dream schedule, because you believe dreams come true. But if your team doesn't believe that, then they might think this is something far off in the future. So you might want to change the word. So I said, this is my intentional schedule, and I expect it to be in place as soon as possible. And it completely shifted how they implemented it. And it's been really exhausting. I feel like every team meeting is about my schedule, it starts to feel like a little narcissistic. But the thing is, is that if my schedule can't allow me to step into the person I have to be as the leader, then I can't change the business. I can't, it's not. And I know it sounds so like simple as like, let's say the schedule, but it's true. It's like how I spend my time will affect the business. And so it has to be that so we're, I'm in a similar ego death, and it's the most uncomfortable. It's not fun. I just like sometimes I'm like, maybe I should just go back to teaching. Okay, I really would love to talk to girls forever. And I wish we could have a Vegas party. Brad was like, I have to sell this. I said, oh, I have an interview with Brad and Danny-J tomorrow, he's like, oh, are they coming over? And I was like, I was like, babe, I was like, we don't really do in-person podcasts, so no, but I guess they could have if they both were here. He was a little disappointed that you weren't coming to the house. So we're gonna take a brief break and then find out where people can find you, follow you and work with you. Lesley Logan 39:57  All right, ladies, where can they listen to The Best Life? Where can they follow each of you? Danny-J Johnson 41:46  Oh, my gosh, best life. They go to thebestlifepodcast.com all our episodes are there, of course on all of the platforms, Spotify, and on iTunes and I don't know where else you would listen to podcasts. But wherever else you would. I'm sure we're there and Instagram @thebestlifepodcast and then personally, I am @dannyjdotcom, on Instagram, that's probably the best way to find me, it's D-A-N-N-Y (like a boy) -J-D-O-T-C-O-M. Jill Coleman 42:10  Yeah, and so same thing, The Best Life podcast, on Instagram, I will say like, we do me Monday. So if you guys love memes, they're always relatable. Make sure you're following The Best Life podcast then on Instagram I'm JillFit and then just jillfit.com, JillFit in all the places. Lesley Logan 42:25  Okay. Y'all go follow, I promise you I love, I love both. All of your personal Instagrams and The Best Life brings me so much joy. Okay, so bold, executable, intrinsic, targeted steps people can take to be it till they see it. This is those inspirational but the actionable things people can do. What do you have for us?Danny-J Johnson 42:46  Go ahead, Jill. Jill Coleman 42:47  Oh, I gotta go first this time. Yeah, so actually, I mean, if people are really into this, and I'm sure you've mentioned this before, but the as-if principle for sure. Like that's like, that really is my Bible. Because here's the deal. And you know, this, if you listen to this podcast with Lesley, you get it that there's going to be a gap between where you feel comfortable and where you know, you need to go. And I'm a very, like, logical person. So for me, I'm always just like, okay, what's the what's the action item here? What's the way that I can sort of step into that new version of myself, even when I'm still scared? And really picturing so for me, it's Oprah like that, just like I always go, like, what would Oprah do, like, so think about the person that either you want to become or the person you look up to who has the, the quote-unquote, success that you want, and really sort of filter your decisions through what you believe that they would do. And so for me, that's made all of the difference. So that actually closes the gap. And sometimes I'll make a decision and like, run away into a corner, like hide, because I'm like, Oh, God, I just said I was going to do that. But I put myself on the hook. And what happens when you put yourself on the hook to do things that are scary, is you watch yourself actually do them and go through the scariest part, and then you get through it. And then you have now a show of evidence that you can do hard things, and it boosts your self-efficacy. And then you can do more hard things because you have a show of evidence that you got through and you survived. And so I think there's something really important about people he's talking about get out of your comfort zone. It's like, cool, but how. And to me, this has been a very tactical step and a very tactical way to look at like, how do you get out of your comfort zone? If you want a different reality, right, you need to change to change. And so for me, that's been so simple, not always easy, by the way. But especially in business, I would say this is the easiest thing. You know, when it comes to health and fitness. I think we if we try to do it in health and fitness, it's like, what would that fit person do? They'd go to the gym. And I'm like, yeah, it doesn't have the same excitement to me. I'm like, yeah, I know. I know they would but like, but in business, you have to figure out like, where do you want to go? And for me, like that's the vision is like, I really want to step into leadership, not because I, for me, part of the reason of scaling the business was because I wanted a new skill set like I was I've been doing this thing for a long time. And so I think if you truly want that next level version, you can't just wish and hope and think and dream and make the vision board, you got to actually take inspired action. And so this has been a very simple way for me to do that. Lesley Logan 45:46  Yeah, that's good. Danny-J Johnson 45:11  I don't really have anything to add, except I want to just kind of tack this on to everything Joe said, and something you guys both mentioned was the ego death, I think when we are attached to who we were, or to how people are used to seeing us, like you had asked early on, were you scared when we had an evolution are we afraid that people are going to, you know, pull us back into that box or get mad that we've changed, you gotta let go of that on yourself, right, you're beating yourself up for wanting to change or be different, you have to be different. So that as-if principle is beautiful, like, who would the person be, and that person might be someone else who's not who you are right now. And you have to be able to let go of who you are to become the person you want to be. So that ego death is big, and it can be painful, and it can be scary. But in order to be different, you have to be different. And you got to let go. So kill your ego and kill the old version of yourself. So you can be the person you're meant to be or you want.Jill Coleman 46:05  You also need to like own it, too, you know, Danny and, like, shared on the podcast that, you know, it's humbling to share that you're the person who you love the most in the world cheated on you. Like, that's very humbling. But in order for us to be able to talk about that publicly, we had to be, get right with it. Right, we had to get right with it. Because then we're not available for the peanut gallery. We're not available for people to say, well, did you work on it enough like and just everything that people want to say. And it's like, we got it. So I think there is a lot of personal development that has to happen. If you do want to shift because you go, I'm actually good. And I'm also good with this next version. And so you own it, and then you can step into it a lot easier. Does that make sense? So like, you know, for us, I wasn't going to talk about my husband's affair until I knew what the fuck, I thought about it, you know, and so I think I see people online, maybe sharing too soon, or maybe just sharing for likes or attention or whatever. I think that if you're ready to take on that new version of you, you have to get right with it first, if you're constantly having to justify your choices to other people, person who needs the most justification is you, like you're still not on board with it. And so I think stepping into that next level, you have to be okay, like Danny said, just shedding that previous version. And people online may see you as that person still. And you gotta be like, cool, bye. Lesley Logan 47:23  Yeah, thank you both for saying that. Tiffany Haddish wrote in her book, because she does a lot of comedy about her life. And she did a joke about her mom, and somebody heckled at her said something it was on stage. And she felt like, anger, sadness, some seven, she realized she's like, I'm not right with that yet. So anything I talk about on stage, I better be right with otherwise, the peanut gallery is gonna get me. And if I'm right with it, it doesn't really matter what they say. Because, like, they don't matter to me, right? And so yeah, it's, it's, it's a very interesting thing. It's hard to do. I remember, you know, when I was homeless and year, well, it's not 11 years, it's kind of crazy. I don't want to tell anybody that was like couchsurfing. And tell. I got to figure out like, what I was going through, what I needed to do, what I need to change. And now when I talk about it, it's like, it doesn't matter if anyone were to say anything. It's like, look, that was one of the things my life came from was the best thing that ever happened for me. But at the time, if anyone had said anything to me, I would have probably ran back to my ex. Because he did say I could live there. And I was like, I'm not living there. So I've had to keep it private, so that I could protect myself in that transition that transformation. Ladies, I fucking love you both so much. You bring me so much joy. I think about you a ton and the true Aquarius I am I think about you in my head and don't always tell you, so just know you are on my heart and my mind often. Thank you so much for being here. Everyone, please make sure you follow Jill and Danny and The Best Life. Take a listen wherever you listen to this podcast and share this with a friend, share with a friend who needs to hear it.

We could be the ad based on the conversation you're already having. So give that give that a share.

In this episode, Jill Coleman interviews Jasmine Shea of The YES and Co. about how to make sales calls and truly believe in the service of selling your product.

Right? Right. And I think that for her it was incredibly real because what set her down this journey in the first place was the near fatal near-fatal that she had where she said somehow she walked away from it. Everyone imagined that she wasn't going to, you know, and so of course when she made it home everything had a new perspective and so but also made her reevaluate everything. Lesley Logan 0:24  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach.

They don't delete it. Lesley Logan 4:06  They don't delete it. Brad Crowell 4:07  So they cloud it.Lesley Logan 4:08  They cloud it.

So excited to be here. Because can I just say, I'm just gonna shout out to Diana. We were struggling to find a stop somewhere between Greensboro, North Carolina and Miami. I know you're thinking what, Miami? You couldn't find a stop? I would have done it. Well, you should have raised your hand. Because this girl saw that we were looking for some stops. But she was like, I don't know if I should say anything. I really love for her to come to Charleston. And then we called her. We're like, Hey, we're coming to Charleston. Would you like a stop? And she was so excited. Yeah, so anyways, you guys dreams do come true. And also, you can raise your hand for things. So I'm so excited we're here.Brad Crowell 4:55  And sometimes we need a place to go. So, let us know where you are, y'all. Lesley Logan 4:59  We want to know where you are. Brad Crowell 5:01  We do.Lesley Logan 5:01  We'll go where people want us to hang out. Brad Crowell 5:03  That's right. Lesley Logan 5:04  And so we're so excited to be here. It's her new studio. It's been open for a year. So congratulations, Diana. Then we're headed to Miami. There might be some spots left in the Mat Class at this point, but everything else is sold out Sarasota. The class is sold out guys. I got a waitlist an arm's distance long. I don't know what to do. I'm feeling really bad.Brad Crowell 5:21  I know. I wish that we could have gotten a bigger space even but like it just the way it worked out was amazing. But wow, what a response.Lesley Logan 5:29  Thank you, Christina Fenton. And also like, we, another spot that we like super struggled to like find a location and Christina Fenton, shout out to her who made a spot happen. And then we sold out so quickly.Brad Crowell 5:43  Yeah, I didn't, but there may still be spots in the workshop. After that. We'll be in Austin. We'll be there all day. Lesley Logan 5:50  All day. New Year's Eve.Brad Crowell 5:51  First of January.Lesley Logan 5:52  That's Gaia. She's so excited about Austin. She loves Austin, she's been there before. So Austin, we got four events, you have to come, it's the best. You want to start your day off, you're in New Year's off, right? You hang out with us. And then we're in Dallas, class sold out. But there might be spots in the workshop, and then it's Albuquerque and Sedona and then we're home. And then I kick off eLevate as soon as we get home. Round four. At the time that we're recording this, I do have a couple spots left. So if you are interested in a mentorship, if you're wanting to not only learn, like accessible and fun approach to classical work, it's still classical, but you get to be a human being. Hi, I'm your girl. So you go to lesleylogon.co/elevate. And then at the end of the month around my birthday, probably before we are going to (inaudible). Okay. Well, it's, I mean, as of right now, it's one month to my birthday since my birthday month. But halfway through the month. You are if you're on the waitlist for the retreat, you're going to get an email, let you know that you can lock in the best, the lowest price of the retreat.Brad Crowell 6:58  Only those on the waitlist.Lesley Logan 7:01  Only those one will get that. Just so you know, if you're not on the waitlist, you won't get that email. Brad Crowell 7:05  So get on the waitlist. Go to Lesleylogan.co/retreats. Lesley Logan 7:09  Yeah. And then in after my birthday. We'll do Agency Mini Number 10. Number 10. Brad Crowell 7:16  Yeah, that's crazy. Lesley Logan 7:18  Fuck, it's crazy. Well, Agency turns six in January. Yes. So it's number 10. And we only do it twice a year. And we're working towards once a year. So just so you know, Brad Crowell 7:28  It's quite possible that next year will be the last twice a year. Lesley Logan 7:32  Yeah. Or who knows, it might only oh, but (inaudible) happened. Brad Crowell 7:35  It's also possible that next year, maybe like the beginning of the year, we'll see. We're trying a couple of new things that going to happen next year. Lesley Logan 7:43  We're also doing like calendar light, guys, like we are Brad Crowell 7:46  We are really trying. Lesley Logan 7:48  So do not wait till next time because we can't promise it. It's actually not in the books yet. Just let me know.Brad Crowell 7:53  Profitablepilates.com/mini Lesley Logan 7:56  Yeah. Before we get into Jenn Drummond's question, Jenn Drummond's interview, we have a question. Brad Crowell 8:01  That's right. Yeah. I was gonna say, Wow, she wrote in a question? Amazing.Lesley Logan 8:05  She did. Well, you know what she did, because she's got a book launch. But we'll talk about that in a moment. We have a question from one of you all, this came on Facebook. Brad Crowell 8:14  Yeah. So the question was, I just bought a studio, what are some do's and don'ts that I should consider? Lesley Logan 8:21  Yeah, I love this question. Because it came up in a Facebook group, which I'm not in. I mean, I'm in them, but I don't participate. And we had five different Agency members comment and they tagged me. Brad Crowell 8:32  Really? Lesley Logan 8:33  Yeah. All of them are, so fucking proud of them. They're like, hire coach. Lesley Logan. I bought a studio. I own a studio. I work with her. And Agency Mini is in FebruaryBrad Crowell 8:46  You should screenshot this conversation. Lesley Logan 8:48  It is so great. Well, you should I don't know how.Brad Crowell 8:50  I'm gonna find that. I need to know where this is.  Lesley Logan 8:52  Yeah. So at any rate, my post response back was what I'll tell you here. If you're buying a someone else's studio, congratulations, I'm so excited for you. We're so excited for you. There is not a one size fits all anything. Brad Crowell 9:08  It's true. Lesley Logan 9:09  And if anyone tries to sell you that run the fuck away. Yeah. Because that means whatever their system is, doesn't include your dreams, your mission, your values. It's not possible. Brad Crowell 9:19  It's highly unlikely. Lesley Logan 9:21  Okay, it's highly unlikely, but it's true. So what we what I would say is do's and don'ts. Do's - hire a coach. Do's - really understand what to charge so that you are paying your employees and yourself correctly. We have a free tool. It's called the magic calculator. There's a studio owner version, which includes the salary you're gonna pay. Pay yourself. And that is on profitablepilates.com. Another do - get a lawyer. We have two amazing ones, Danielle Stead Blanton and Conscious Counsel with Corey Sterling. If you want those hookups, just ask for us. Those are do's. Brad Crowell 9:54  We're happy to make the intro. Lesley Logan 9:56  Have boundaries. Boundaries are key meaning when you'll work and when you won't work. And beyond that, I actually need to know what your goals are, as far as don't - don't get jealous of other people's businesses. Don't. That is waste of your time, you don't even know if they're profitable, I don't care if they look busy.Brad Crowell 10:12  I got a don't. Don't price your classes based on other businesses in the area. Lesley Logan 10:19  Yes to that, because you don't. Okay. I was talking to a group of studio owners and they were bulking at me because I wanted them to charge 45 Euros for up to six people in a class per person. And then I was like, but that's what you need to charge. So you can pay yourself and pay your employees, you can stay in business, you want to stay in business. If you want to be a charity, go file yourself. Here's the thing, y'all I've had many people go, I want to make accessible. Then, go file yourself as a 501-C3. Do not file yourself as a business because of you're business, you have to be profitable. Period. That doesn't mean you can't be accessible. But you can't be you. Somebody, you either have to have 1000 clients, or you have to have 20. Like it's it's you have this decision. This is where coaching comes in. Because we've actually figured out my mission is to make things accessible. Okay, how can we do that? Right? My mission is to get paid myself this much. Okay, how can we do that? So the don't that you, Brad just mentioned is super key. You don't know if they're profitable, you don't know if they're just filling their classes with ClassPass, things like that.Brad Crowell 11:20  You don't know their story, you don't know if they need to be profitable, maybe they're intentionally not being profitable. Lesley Logan 11:25  I have so many girlfriends in L.A. who are teachers whose entire role in their family was to not be profitable, because their family needed a loss on their taxes.Brad Crowell 11:37  Surprise.Lesley Logan 11:39  So, you guys like that. So don't don't base your services, your rates, your schedule around others, you have to go with your mission, vision and values. And beyond that, we actually need to know what those are. So we can actually coach you on do's and don'ts for you. So if you want that you can go to profitablepilates.com/agency. You can also go to profitablepilates.com/mini and find out on the next thing. You know, I know coach is an investment and it's, it's, you know, it's hard to know if you're making the right one. We hope it's us, but you should try people out. If you have a question for us to answer just send it to Be It Pod. I love this one. And I know most of you listening are not studio owners. If you are a business owner, everything we just said applies. Brad Crowell 12:22  It's true. Lesley Logan 12:22  If you are in the service industry, it all applies.Brad Crowell 12:25  Yeah, it doesn't have to be Pilates. It could be yoga, boxing, any kind of gym.Lesley Logan 12:30  Can be a retail store.Brad Crowell 12:32  Could be. Yeah, totally can. That's true. All right. Stick around. We'll be right back.Brad Crowell 12:51  Okay, now let's talk about Jenn Drummond. Jenn Drummond is an extraordinary adventurer, and a mother of seven, who, after surviving a near-fatal car accident embarked on an inspirational journey to climb the world's most challenging mountains. In 2023, she won the Guinness World Record, a first female mountaineer to seven second summits. So what that means, seven second summits. Second means they're the second tallest mountains on the continent. She summited the second tallest mountains on all seven continents. Lesley Logan 14:50  Also, first woman to do it. Brad Crowell 14:51  First woman to do it. Lesley Logan 14:52  And also you guys, they're apparently often harder than the K ones. Brad Crowell 14:57  Yeah, and that's like a lot of technical stuff. And there, but basically, they're not nearly as well mapped. They're not nearly as popular. The trails aren't nearly as consistent.Lesley Logan 15:06  What if the one she did, because of COVID, no one had even been there for years. And because of the snow, because like, what is it Antarctica she went at, (inaudible) it's like, years outdated map. And I'm like,Brad Crowell 15:16  Yeah, that's crazy. Lesley Logan 15:18  I'm gonna just say, no, no. But I love that she did it.Brad Crowell 15:24  It's pretty. It's ambitious. It's amazing. And you know, I thought what was really, like, what really, really inspired me was she said, you know, look, I was a full time mom, and awesome, love, love doing that. But when I started training for this, I had a chance to be showing my kids, you know, what it's like to live a busy life. And do you know, be a mom too? And I thought that was really inspiring to me. Because, you know, that's, that's reality.Lesley Logan 16:01  Yeah, I, I'm actually gonna go off off off the grid here, because I'm actually gonna talk about something I really, really, really loved. That she said, so here's she has seven kids. Okay, I got three dogs. It's already too many. So, I don't even know. But I asked her like, how do you? How did you even train for this? And this, to me is one of my favorite takeaways from the whole episode. Because she talked about finding a way and you guys, if you really want something bad enough, you find a way like, yeah, there Brad can tell when I want something bad enough, because I'll set up a car because I really want that. But that requires, like consistent things over time. However, I wanted this one chair so bad. I was like, I'm gonna sell my peloton. I'm gonna sell it. I want Brad Crowell 16:51  It's exactly what I was thinking about. Lesley Logan 16:52  I also sold a bunch of stuff in my closet. Like, there's this interesting thing when you want something bad enough, like the thing that the lengths you'll go to do something. And I was trying to figure out like, how if you're a mom of seven kids, you've got to choose a job. She's, you know, it's like she's like at home just taking care of seven kids. How did you train to be a mountain woman because like, that is, if Jenn lives in Utah, but also that's hours, hours a day, right? So she actually brought up she's like, you can find a way she's like, there's no takers for every phone call you're on. And that just takes notes for me. And so I'm physically on the call, but I'm on a treadmill at an elevation so I can get my time under my legs at elevation rock climbing. And I'm still working. And I can go back to the notes because it's high like you guys, there are so many great tools out there that will highlight will pull the questions up you can search on makes it so easy, right? The other thing she did was at the kids' soccer game, and she brought a stepstool and water bottles and water bottles. And she just didBrad Crowell 17:50  She would wear them like I'm guessing she would wear them? (inaudible)Lesley Logan 17:54  So she would like do her, for 90 minutes, just step on the stepstool. And she's fully present for her kids. But she is training for her event. And I just want to bring this up because I think we make a lot of excuses for ourselves. Brad Crowell 18:11  Well it's very creative, first off. Lesley Logan 18:13  It's very creative, but it's also I've got the soccer games I can't do I'll wait till they're older or whatever. You are, if you're, if your goal and your passion happens to be a physical activity, like mountain climbing, and maybe it's not, you actually want to do that when you're younger. Not when your kids are older. But also she pulled up like what if I die tomorrow? And I think it's really cool what she was able to show her children because she showed her seven children that she could still prioritize her goals and them and so anyways, just like I was like, mind blown. Yeah, because I do that shit. But I don't have seven kids.Brad Crowell 18:54  Well she started talking about she doesn't get to choose when she dies. Right? And I think that for her it was incredibly real because what set her down this journey in the first place was the near fatal near-fatal that she had where she said somehow she walked away from it. Everyone imagined that she wasn't going to, you know, and so of course when she made it home everything had a new perspective and so but also made her reevaluate everything. And this is pre-COVID when COVID made the world reevaluate everything right? So this for her was you know the moment the wake up call.Lesley Logan 19:37  Yeah, yeah. What did you love? Brad Crowell 21:16  I really loved it when she was talking about putting people over peaks. Now of course she's like, so polished in her presentation here that everything ties together she talks about conquering your own mountain in your life. But putting people over peaks was really interesting. She was a, she was on a mountain where there was a terrible accident that happened with one of her, her climbing mates died in an avalanche. Lesley Logan 21:48  I can't even imagine that I don't even like that's devastating. Brad Crowell 21:52  Yeah. Yeah. I mean, she decided not to continue the summit, which means she got part of the way up, and then decided to come back down. And she said, the reason was what I thought was really I was like, could I make this decision this way in this moment? She said, the mountain is always going to be here. So I can come back. But this is more important right now. Lesley Logan 22:23  Yeah, I think like what's beautiful is like, achieving that climb on that day wouldn't have been as special. Brad Crowell 22:35  Well, yeah, there's that too. I mean, it would have always been tied to that, that terrible memory. So yeah, that's another I mean, in hindsight now, like, wow, what? That's definitely the right move.Lesley Logan 22:45  I mean, what I'm also impressed by is that she still went and did it because like, I'm gonna be really honest, people dying in front of me, I'm like, I'm out. But I'm out. All right. I'm out on the climb. Like, I thought we hiked. I've decided we (inaudible).Brad Crowell 23:09  She said, who she believes that who we are as people. That's more important than what we achieve. Yeah. And I think that is so counterintuitive to the way we live in our society today, that we only value achieving the next goal, achieving the next thing and like, or the credentials, or you know, what's on a resume.Lesley Logan 23:34  You know, but this brings me up because I this morning, the day that we're recording this, I had a call with Jonah White, who is on the podcast, she's the one who's like recovering from a brain tumor everyone, right? And she went to some event and the person did the thing. Like, if you really, really wanted these goals, that would happen already. And she's like, like, I heal myself from a brain tumor. And I don't have the things that I want already. And it's because I'm holding myself back. And I'm like, I call bullshit. I call bullshit. Yeah, because there are things I really, really want. The G Wagon in the driveway. I also wanted this house. I also like, and I refuse to burn myself out. And I actually want to take this back to it. Like I think it's really, I think quotes like that from self-development gurus can be great for the person who needs to get the fuck off the couch. But I also love that in this instance, she could have been like, this is my goal I'm going and you know, but she actually chose to go off of her values. And she really values people and human life. And, and one, if you don't know what you would do, check your values. I bet you would. I want you to do the exact same thing because I know your values, you know, like, and if you don't know what your values are, this is your call to action. Sit down, there is actually, you can just Google list of values. (inaudible)Brad Crowell 25:06  Just ask chatGPT.Lesley Logan 25:07  Yeah. (inaudible) 54 and then go through and pick out the ones that stand out to you. And then notice which ones are duplicates, because you want to get down to five, three to five, you otherwise won't remember them. And I bet you'd you'd make the same decision. But I think it's really important. Like, there are obstacles that areBrad Crowell 25:23  Wait there are 54 values. Where, what? Tell me more about this. Lesley Logan 25:26  I Googled it a few years back. It might be more, but I Googled like, values. And it was like the ones that I found like, 54.Brad Crowell 25:37  Yeah, I think there are more than that.Lesley Logan 25:39  I'm sure there's more. The ones that I've found were like, 54. So whatever, doesn't matter.Brad Crowell 25:44  There's a lot. Here, 50 common personal values. Here are 200 values explained. Lesley Logan 25:49  Great. That's too many. Brad Crowell 25:50  Twelve universal values. What are 20 types of values. That's interesting. Lesley Logan 25:54  So 200 is too many. Brad Crowell 25:56  James Clear, 50 common personal values. Lesley Logan 25:59  Start there. And then like, there's other there's also tons, like Jill Coleman shout out to her, had us go through how to come with our values was a really, really fun, post it note thing at all, to go back to Jenn Drummond. If you know what your values are, you will know what you do in certain situations, and you will love hitting your goals while you're with your values intact. You won't love hitting your goals with your values out of alignment. So I think you would know what you'd do.Brad Crowell 27:26  All right. So finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Jenn Drummond? She said, this was really fun, y'all. She said she had a major reframe on something that made her so angry. There was a red light in front of her house, a stoplight and she said she would always hit this damn light. And it would just like, it's probably in my mind. I was like, we all know it. There's the one damn light that takes five fucking minutes to go. And you're like, why am I sitting here and the stupid light there aren't even any cars?Lesley Logan 28:02  Every light in Vegas is the longest light I've ever experienced in my life, like four minutes. Brad Crowell 28:10  So when she's talking about this, I was imagining, you know, us here in our town. And she said that she had the story about when she decided you know what I need? I need to reframe this. And she started to take that time to pause and use it as a time to be grateful for things in her in her world. And then she taught that to her kids. And then her kids said they began to enjoy the reframe. So whenever they would hit a red light, it's like I imagined it being like the punch buggy game. Punch buggy. You know, punch backs where you drive past a VW bug.Lesley Logan 28:50  Slug bag bus, it's what we called it. Okay. Now, there was an entire lot of that (inaudible) cars.Brad Crowell 28:57  Did you say slug blast?Lesley Logan 28:59  Slug bag bus. Slug bag. Slug bag was the car and slug bug bus was when you saw the VW bus. And there was a whole parking lot of used cars. And when we were in (inaudible), my parents drove us up my grandparents house, right to school, and we would be doing slug bug, the whole drive right? And we get to this part of this car lot. And it was like we get out of our seatbelts to like start counting. And my mom was like, stop, we're gonna drive by, you're going to all count and then you can divide it by three and punch each other.Brad Crowell 29:33  Ah, that's hilarious. No, I feel like we at one point had to call that game because my brother and I were getting stronger. And we were hurting each other. But anyway, I thought it was that's what I was comparing it to and her kids started to flip it around where they were like, oh, the light's green. We can't do our grateful thing now because the light's not red. And I just thought that was what a fun way to reframe something that normally would get you aggravated. And then also to pass that along. I thought that was really cool.Lesley Logan 30:04  Can you imagine if we tried to do it with my dad? Brad Crowell 30:06  Yeah. Your dad, he would just (inaudible).Lesley Logan 30:11  He would like, yeah, he would let us do it and he wouldn't do anything. It's fine. Brad Crowell 30:16  What about you?Lesley Logan 30:17  I do love that that one has really stuck with me, I have to say like, after how many interviews have I done? Close to 150? Not really, maybe like 120. I, that is one Be It Action Item. I think of her often I think of her at red lights. And I just love it. So I hope that one sticks with you. I actually really love this. She talks about taking a gap year. And I'm not saying to take a gap here from achieving a goal. But I do think y'all, it's so important to take a break after you achieve something. Because otherwise you're just like achieving and achieving, achieving it. And if you're not achieving, you're like, Fuck, I'm not doing anything with my life. Brad Crowell 30:53  Well, it's what we talked about earlier in this episode, where, you know, that's how we measure success is the achievements that we the our credentials, our accolades, or whatever. And, you know, that's, that's this weird to (inaudible).Lesley Logan 31:12  Yeah. I think it's really, really cool. Like, something I'm so proud of us, at this point is like, we have the fewest amount of events next year that we've ever had. And it doesn't scare me. It doesn't make me freak out. It's actually like, I love it. I like how do we make less? How do you make less than that? Because I think it's so it becomes a thing. Like, for example, I saw a girl last night at an event and she's engaged (inaudible) I don't know her, beautiful ring, gorgeous girl. And I legitimately didn't ask when are you getting married? They're celebrate her engagement. I didn't even ask because that is the next achievement. She just got engaged. And I was like, oh, my gosh, tell me what you've done. How did he propose? Like I was like, and then it'd be like, When is the wedding? What is this? What is this?Brad Crowell 32:02  When are you having seventeen kids?Lesley Logan 32:04  When are you having kids? And I, I was I've refused and I, only thing I said was I was like celebrating her engagement. She said, yeah, it's really stressful. I'm trying to find someone who just wants to do it for me. And I said, Brad Crowell 32:17  To do what for her?Lesley Logan 32:18  To do her wedding for her. Yeah. And I said, you know, if you want a simple piece of advice, I'll give it to you about wedding planning. But if you don't need it, I'm not gonna give it to you. And she's, well, I want it, and I said, use a project management tool and hire someone out on the stressful day. Period. Everything else is gonna be fine. And she was looking at other girls were like, looking at me, like, what and I'm, like, I was so proud because I was like, I'm not we need to stop going when are you getting married? Are you gonna have kids? Were you gonna buy a house? Like all these things that achievement, achievement, achievement, and like, it's justBrad Crowell 32:54  Just make sure that everything is the color blue and your wedding will be amazing.Lesley Logan 32:59  Watch Eliza slashing her special about weddings, you'll be fine. But like I, you know, there's certain things that I want to break as a habit. And I think one of the ways to take a break is also to give people permission to take a break. And so maybe that's when someone's celebrating engagement. Don't ask them when the wedding is. Let them tell you. They'll tell you. Brad Crowell 33:23  Oh, well, if they want to talk about it, they'll find a way. Lesley Logan 33:25  When people get married. You don't have to ask if they're having kids. They will tell you, Okay, it's like a vegan. They will tell you, you don't have to worry. Don't yell at me vegans. I am also a vegan who eats meat. But like I think it's really you can practice taking breaks and I just really love this as a Be It Action Item because like, how can you schedule in breaks after an achievement? We're doing a massive tour. Our biggest yet. We come home 24 hours later I'm on vacation. I'm on break. I'm on a break.Brad Crowell 33:59  Yeah, me too. Lesley Logan 34:00  You too. You will be you'll be on a Brad Crowell 34:02  This will be a break at home.Lesley Logan 34:03  You'll be on break at home you'll love it. I'm Lesley Logan.Brad Crowell 34:07  And I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan 34:07  Oh, before I let you go.Brad Crowell 34:09  Oh, before she lets you go. Oh, right.Lesley Logan 34:11  She's got a book. It's called, Breakproof. That is the title and it's available for pre-order. I'll tell you right now I'm gonna click a link.
