Podcasts about key takeaways everyone

Summer reflects on the polarity she has witnessed in the older generation; there are many elders she wants to listen to and learn from, but there are also those who are bitter and cruel in their later years. She answers why there are stark differences in these attitudes to life, sharing how it’s not the absence of pain that makes the difference, but how we choose to deal with it. We all age, but we don’t all grow; will you choose bitterness or betterness? KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone ages, but not everyone grows with age. We will all experience pain in our lives, and how we choose to deal with it will determine our growth. No one has to become bitter, it is a choice. Asking yourself whether you are going to be bitter or better is an intentional way to ask ourselves who we want to be on the other side of our difficulties. Challenges can make it easy to adopt a pessimistic and bitter outlook on life, but we can choose to use everything that happens in our lives to grow instead of being bitter. BEST MOMENTS “We all age, but we don’t all grow” “Pain is something we all face, but if we let it turn into poison, it will affect our whole life” “It’s easy to fall victim to the problems in our lives” HOST BIO I am Summer.

Today, Laura and Jeremiah Lee discuss the critical aspects of estate planning, emphasizing that it goes beyond just having a will. They explore the importance of advanced healthcare directives, the implications of probate, and the essential components of a comprehensive estate plan, including trusts and powers of attorney. Through real-life stories, they illustrate the necessity of planning for the unexpected and the value of clear communication in estate planning. Key Takeaways: Everyone should have an advanced healthcare directive. Probate can be lengthy and expensive, often compared to the DMV. California estate planning laws differ from other states. A trust keeps your estate private, while a will does not. Clear communication is essential in estate planning. It's important to have an estate plan in place when healthy. Trusts can dictate how and when assets are distributed. Durable powers of attorney are crucial for decision-making. Probate is not a fast process and can cause delays. Regularly review and update your estate plan. --- Reach out at contact@tricordadvisors.com Connect with Jeremiah: LinkedIn: / jeremiahjlee Email: Jeremiah@tricordadvisors.com Connect with Laura: LinkedIn: / laura-lee-59a83610 Email: Laura@tricordadv.com Connect with Randy: LinkedIn: / rkbarkley Email: Randy@tricordadv.com Information and ideas discussed are general comments and cannot be relied upon as pertaining to your specific situation, do not constitute legal/financial advice, and do not create an attorney-client or fiduciary relationship.

Brooke meets special guests Liselle Terrett and Heather Johnson to engage in a vibrant discussion about their groundbreaking project, "Not F**king Sorry" a provocative cabaret theatre piece that challenges societal norms surrounding disability and queerness. They explore the fluidity of identity, the importance of creating safe spaces for marginalised voices, and the collaborative process of developing the show with learning-disabled and neurodivergent actors. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone may experience disability at some point in their lives. This intersectionality is central to the themes explored in the project. The creation of the performance "Not Fucking Sorry" is a collaborative effort involving learning disabled and neurodivergent actors. The process includes devising, improvisation, and the incorporation of the actors' personal experiences and voices into the narrative. The show aims to confront and challenge societal norms surrounding disability and sexuality. It seeks to address the marginalisation of disabled individuals and the misconceptions surrounding their sexual agency, using humour and provocative content to engage the audience. Establishing a safe and respectful environment in the rehearsal room is crucial for the creative process. This includes clear communication, support for mental health, and a focus on care, allowing actors to express themselves freely and authentically. BEST MOMENTS "Disability is sexy. Queer is sexy. It's fluid. It's movable. We'll all be disabled at some point." "You're there to make sure that the actors can do their best jobs." "We never get the chance to go out to the pub, to the club. So let's make a show that we create that." "The political message is more urgent... the world is... lacking in pathos or nuance." "You don't know the cracks and the scars that you have given us, that we carry." VALUABLE RESOURCES https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/disabled-and-proud/id1621152878 Not F**king Sorry - https://accessallareasproductions.org/production/not-fkin-sorry/ HOST BIO Disabled and Proud is the show that brings listeners a different perspective on disability.

Lyn welcomes Dr. Rita Louise, a medical intuitive, to explore the fascinating topic of trusting your intuition. Dr. Louise shares her journey of discovering her innate intuitive abilities, emphasising that everyone possesses this gift to varying degrees. The conversation delves into the differences between intuition and the ego, the importance of quieting the mind to hear that subtle inner voice, and practical tips for developing intuition, such as journaling and paying attention to subtle prompts. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone possesses intuition to varying degrees, and it is an innate part of our energy system. Recognising and harnessing this ability can enhance personal growth and decision-making. The intuitive voice is often quieter and more persistent, while the ego voice tends to be loud and demanding. Calming the ego through practices like meditation or journaling can help individuals access their intuition more effectively. Developing intuition involves paying attention to subtle feelings and messages. Noticing when you have intuitive prompts, even if you don’t act on them, is crucial for building awareness and trust in your inner guidance. Engaging in activities that promote a flow state, such as journaling or creative expression, can facilitate access to intuitive insights. When in flow, individuals are more likely to receive and act on intuitive guidance. Trusting and surrendering to intuitive messages can lead to significant personal growth and fulfilment. Ignoring these messages may result in discomfort or challenges, emphasising the importance of listening to one's inner voice. BEST MOMENTS "I think a lot of people don't recognise that the level of intuition that is innate in all of us, and we just write it off and don't pay attention to it." "The intuitive voice... nags you and nag you and nag you with the same bit of information." "When you're being given this dictate, and you don't do it, then you start having all this weird stuff start to happen to you." "You don't know what you don't know until you do." "The biggest message that I would love for people to have is, start paying attention to what's going on inside."

Angela talks to Dan Sullivan, a seasoned coach to entrepreneurs, as he reflects on his 50-year journey in the field. They explore the concept of "unique ability," emphasising how individuals can discover their true passions and strengths, often stifled by societal expectations. Dan shares his personal insights on health and longevity, revealing his commitment to maintaining vitality through rigorous testing and innovative practices, including plasma exchange and aerobic exercises. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone is born with a unique ability that often gets overshadowed by societal expectations and formal education. Identifying and nurturing this unique ability is crucial for personal and professional fulfilment. Setting a personal longevity goal can significantly alter one's perspective on life and health. By envisioning a longer, healthier life, individuals can motivate themselves to adopt healthier habits and pursue greater ambitions. Regular testing and monitoring of health metrics are essential for maintaining and improving overall well-being. This includes full-body diagnostics and blood analysis to track biological age and health status. Effective goal setting should focus on short-term achievements (ideally within 90 days) to build momentum and confidence. Measuring progress against past achievements rather than ideal outcomes helps maintain motivation and a positive mindset. BEST MOMENTS "I advise them never to retire. As a matter of fact, they can't even say it in my presence. They can't use the word retirement." "What I realised was health optimisation is the foundation of sustained high performance if we want longevity in business and life." "Entrepreneurs, if they do this, they have the added benefit that they're self-starters. They've taken responsibility for their financial future." "The moment you move that number, every other thought in your brain moves."

n this uplifting episode of Shark Theory, host Baylor Barbee shares an inspiring story about the impact of giving and the power of leadership from an unexpected place—a fourth-grade classroom. As the president of the nonprofit Dreams Really Exist, Baylor works with other organizations to give back to the DFW community through the annual Holly Jolly event. This year, something remarkable occurs as he encounters a class of young students who embody true selflessness by donating basketballs to the cause. Baylor's recounting of this experience underscores significant themes such as community impact, selflessness, and the superhero potential in each of us. Without seeking recognition, these students demonstrate how small acts of kindness can significantly affect others' lives. Through this narrative, Baylor explores what it means to be a leader and how genuine contributions to society often come without seeking credit. The episode calls listeners to adopt a mindset of giving and to understand that no contribution is too small to make a difference. Key Takeaways: Everyone has the potential to be a superhero by using their gifts and resources to help others, regardless of the size or recognition of their actions. Small acts of kindness, such as those from Ms. Brown's fourth-grade class, highlight that you are never too small to make a big difference. True leadership involves focusing on the cause rather than seeking personal credit or recognition for good deeds. The genuine joy of giving can be its own reward, as seen in the students' smiles after contributing to the community. Encouragement to adopt a giving mindset not only during the holiday season but as a lifelong practice. TO learn more about the Holly Jolly Event and how you can help, VISIT US HERE

In this engaging episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee delves into the contrasting elements of personal strengths and life's inevitable challenges. With a personal anecdote reflecting on his dislike for cold weather juxtaposed with his Australian Shepherd dog's love for it, Baylor draws a parallel to how we can appreciate different circumstances and learn from them. The episode explores the notion that everyone thrives in different environments, and it's essential to find where one can make the most impact. Baylor emphasizes understanding and appreciating your current "season" in life, even if it doesn't align with your preferences. It's easy to compare yourself with others who seem to have it all together, but as Baylor points out, "Nobody has it all together in every area of your life." Instead of focusing on what you dislike about your current situation, he encourages listeners to seek productivity and positivity. The episode gives actionable advice on maintaining focus, fostering gratitude, and supporting others, even while you're not in your ideal circumstances. Key Takeaways: Everyone thrives differently; your strengths may not align with others', and that's okay. Avoid the "woe is me" mentality by understanding that nobody excels in every area of life. Focus on being productive and supportive, even when circumstances aren't favorable to you. Recognize that all seasons will eventually change, and it's crucial to be prepared for your moment. Approach each day not as good or bad but in terms of its effectiveness and productivity. Notable Quotes: "Nobody has it all together in every area of your life." "While I'm in a season that's not mine, how can I be productive?" "Eventually my season is coming. And when my season comes, I need to be ready." "When my focus is on myself, I can't think about how cold I am." "You might not be in your season, but perhaps that's a season of support."

For this episode, Yvonne is joined by Christine Higgins a spiritual alchemist, transformational soul coach, and inspirational speaker. She explains what a spiritual guide is, how they can help you and how to find yours and begin communicating with them.  Using real-world examples Christine explains how to take more notice of the intuition, clairvoyance, and other spiritual skills that we can all learn to recognise within ourselves, tap into and strengthen. By doing this you heal, realign with your purpose, and grow stronger and brighter every day. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone has spiritual guides around them, up to 3 or 4 depending on where you are in your life journey. Your guardian angel is always with you, regardless of what is happening in your life. Often your guides will have been a close part of your past life e.g. a sibling. We carry the experience of our ancestors with us in our hearts. Our guides are there to keep us on the path of our life journey. We all have cognition, clairvoyance, clairaudience, and clairsentience. Spiritual senses that many of us are afraid of or simply ignore. Most people hear their inner voice (guides)pointing things out to them, but many of us mostly ignore it. Pause and pay more attention to your thoughts and start to question why you habitually act in certain ways. Repressed emotions need to be felt and addressed. The world needs as many people as possible to step into their journey of healing and spirituality. We all need to connect more closely with Mother Earth. Nature really does heal. Letting bare feet connect with the bare earth, rock or sand physically regenerates us because the earth physically vibrates at 7.83 hertz which helps us to heal. You have to physically ask your guides for help. Use signs to prove to yourself that the spiritual realm is there and accessible to you.  BEST MOMENTS “I have a guardian angel that's been with me for 1000s of years.” “We all get assigned guides to keep us on our journey.” “So many people out there ignore the signs.” “There will always be darkness, there will always be light, but the more the light shines, the more the darkness recedes into the shadow.” “That is the key we all have to go back to Mother Earth.” “Your words are your wand.” “If you're speaking in a low vibration about yourself or others, then low vibration will be attracted to you.”  “If you have fear, doubt and anxiety, you are going to find it extremely hard to hear that voice of intuition. So, work on yourself, on your healing journey.

In this inspiring episode, Dr. Dunni welcomes Del Parsons, a Chartered Marketer and Certified Master Coach, to discuss the challenges and triumphs of running a business as a mother. Del shares her journey from a successful corporate career to self-employment, highlighting the importance of balancing work and family life, especially while raising a child with autism and dyslexia. The conversation delves into the significance of managing emotional energy, taking actionable steps toward business goals, and the power of self-belief.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone has a unique path, and it's important to recognize that your experiences, including challenges, contribute to your growth and success. Prioritising emotional well-being and energy management is crucial for maintaining motivation and consistency in both personal and professional life. Having a plan is essential, but implementing that plan through actionable steps is what leads to progress. Start with one small step at a time, and don't be afraid to learn from failures along the way. For mothers, balancing caregiving responsibilities with personal ambitions can be challenging. It's important to carve out time for both family and personal goals. Recognizing and nurturing the unique abilities of children, especially those with special needs, can lead to their flourishing. Emphasizing strengths rather than focusing solely on challenges can foster a positive environment for growth.   BEST MOMENTS "The sooner you start doing that, rather than making all these big grand plans, which we do need, but it's about taking action." "The caring responsibility falls more on the mother... If things go great and the child is awesome, it's the father's child." "Running your own business is the best self-development journey you can ever, ever wish to go on." "You have to make sacrifices and work out what time you have available... that initial startup period when you are creating and building a business is intensive." "We need to ensure that our children are learning very good practices from us."

In this episode, Yvonne talks about the psychic she went to see and how what he said has helped her to refocus and start to use her energy a little differently. Yvonne also shares some details of the weird week she has had which has included needing to apologise to one of Ireland's biggest influencers. Someone who has 1.2 million followers on Instagram and 1.2 million plus on TikTok.  She also talks about the 21-day manifestation challenge she is running and participating in herself. Including how the universe challenged her on day one. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone, including Yvonne, suffers from bouts of doubt when they are manifesting. Don´t fall into the trap of always focusing on the future. You also need to live in and enjoy the present. It is important to take action and seize opportunities, but not to the point where you are working so hard that you are missing out on family life. If you are like Yvonne always pushing yourself hard, pause, and ask yourself why. Your actions need to be aligned with what you're saying. We all make mistakes, but it is how you react that really counts.  Always learn from your mistakes and apologise if you need to. BEST MOMENTS “I believe that we all create our reality.” “You do need to take these opportunities and seize the opportunities, but don't take them out of fear.” “When you don't go with your gut and your intuition, the universe will show up and it will force you to go with your gut and your intuition.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Website: pausepenny.com Instagram: @yvonnetchrakian_manifest @pause.penny LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvonne-tchrakian-64257619/ HOST BIO Yvonne started her career as a corporate lawyer for one of Ireland's top law firms.

Toni & Lesley are joined by Sarah Churchman OBE a global leader in DEI and Workplace Wellbeing, with over 20 years of experience driving innovative, data-driven solutions that align diversity initiatives with business success, mostly for PwC where she spent 37 years in total. Sarah is known for her pioneering work in de-biasing HR processes and fostering inclusive environments where diversity thrives. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone has biases. The lack of diversity at the top demonstrates that there is a lack of equality in the workplace. Inequality outside of work plays a significant role in inequality at work. If you take on the bulk of domestic chores, and child and elder care duties, you don´t have as much time and energy left for work. Plan for what you want to do in your career. You don´t have to be liked to do well, you have to be respected. Get yourself seen - network with those above you and people outside of your firm. To get to the top you need a sponsor. Be authentic and do work that you enjoy.

This episode features an interview with Jason Ing, CMO at Gusto, a company that automates and simplifies payroll, benefits, and HR, while providing expert support. Jason was early on the ground at Xbox and Prime Video, playing pivotal roles in revolutionizing online gaming and digital media. Jason offers a behind-the-scenes look at marketing major shifts in entertainment consumption, like launching Netflix on Xbox and his role in getting Amazon fire sticks into our homes. He also dives into his current marketing strategy at Gusto.Key Takeaways:Everyone loves good content, and creative, entertaining content attracts and retains customers.Commitment and excitement about a long term vision can lead to groundbreaking success, even if others are skeptical initially.There is value in trying out unexpected or unconventional strategies, such as direct mail for Amazon Prime Video.Quote: “As it relates to Netflix, and streaming overall, this was during the years in which people were still getting Netflix by mail. That was what they were known as. But the technology was being built and the amount of Xboxes we had in living rooms in the U.S. households and across the world was at a point where these streaming providers could create a viable business by getting into all those living room spaces. And this was before TVs were all smart-TV-enabled. So, it was really cool to  see a vision for the future. And there was a bit of belief that you had to have around knowing that there was a better way. When you're fortunate enough to work for a company that is as successful as Microsoft was, and it's even more successful today, the company was willing to think long term. And I think that was really the first time in my career where I was exposed to this idea that you had to manage things on a day-to-day level and for the short term, but you had to have long-term vision and commitment to it. And I think all of us who were there, we were just very much bought into that idea, that there was just a future that was around the corner.”Episode Timestamps: *(29:09) The Trust Tree: Bringing elements from B2C to B2B*(34:58): The Playbook: Controlling the narrative through brand *(45:39): The Dust Up: Tension around partnership deals *(47:42): Quick Hits: Jason's Quick HitsSponsor:Pipeline Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com, the #1 Conversational Marketing platform for companies that use Salesforce and the secret weapon for pipeline pros.

Lyn welcomes author Bret Davis to discuss reducing anxiety and building confidence, he shares some of the philosophies in his book, "Bret Isms."Bret also talks about his personal journey, including the influence of being brought up as the son of a professional football coach, and how his observations of super-confident people shaped his insights. The conversation delves into practical tips for managing anxiety, such as recognising anxious moments, focusing on positive self-talk, and setting healthy boundaries.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone experiences anxiety at some level, and it's important to acknowledge that feeling anxious is a shared human experience. Understanding the root cause of anxiety can help individuals manage it better. Techniques such as breaking tasks into smaller, manageable parts and reparing for worst-case scenarios can help alleviate feelings of overwhelm and anxiety. Taking time for quiet reflection or "listening" to one's inner voice can foster more self-awareness and lead to personal growth. This practice can help individuals identify areas for improvement and appreciate the value of self-love. Training the mind to focus on positive aspects of situations, rather than negative ones, can enhance self-esteem and overall happiness. This shift in perspective can make it easier to love oneself and be more confident. BEST MOMENTS "The purpose of the book was not to become a bestseller... if just a handful of other folks out in the world can live a happier existence, then I feel we all owe it to each other to kind of make that a goal." "The eagle that chases two rabbits catches none. So I often remind myself, just catch your first rabbit... Once you start seeing that and you see your to-do list shrinking, your anxiety level goes down." "You can't trip over what's behind you. We get so caught up in not only beating ourselves up over mistakes we've made in the past... the power lies within myself and my inner voice to create a better, positive existence." "I think we can sometimes fall into the trap of thinking we're being the bigger person by being more forgiving. But actually, what we're doing is tolerating behaviour we shouldn't be tolerating." ABOUT THE GUEST - Bret Davis - Author Having grown up in the world of professional sports with a father who was a NFL coach and executive, Bret has had the opportunity to observe some of the top leaders and motivators throughout his childhood and into his young adulthood.

Today, David continues on from last Friday´s episode by sharing 3 things you can do to stop yourself from becoming stuck. He explains how doing this enables you to fulfil your full potential and become a transformational leader. To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a 30-minute discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone, even great leaders, can end up feeling stuck. If you really want to do something you will find a way and get unstuck. Sometimes it is your patterns of behaviour that are stopping you from making progress.  David explains how to recognise negative patterns of behaviour and change them. You have to keep refreshing your skill set. Instead of asking how can I get this done? Try asking who can get this done. This will enable you to keep momentum and overcome skill gaps. Holding on to beliefs that no longer serve you can unlock some form of transformation. Regularly challenge your limiting beliefs e.g. the market is shrinking and replace it with a more optimistic and inspiring way of looking at the situation. BEST MOMENTS ‘Disrupt that pattern, develop that skill and challenge that belief.' ‘Even the great leaders feel stuck.' ‘Inside the word belief is the word lie.' ‘Ask the question who can I be? instead of focusing on who you´re not.'

Mental health is a multidimensional aspect of our well-being, encompassing emotional, psychological, and social facets. Hence, it prompts us to view individuals not through the narrow lens of diagnoses but as complex beings with diverse emotional, psychological, and social needs.    However, many people fail to separate the person who struggles with their mental health from the labels imposed by diagnoses. As our guest speaker aptly points out, changing the narrative from "that person is a drug addict" to "that person struggles with addiction" is a pivotal shift in language that reflects a more compassionate and accurate understanding. By acknowledging the struggle rather than defining the person by it, we break down the misconceptions surrounding mental health. Together, let's contribute to breaking down barriers, nurturing connections, and ultimately, creating a world where mental health is viewed with empathy, openness, and a commitment to holistic well-being.   In this episode, we want to help listeners gain a deeper understanding of the critical components involved in fostering mental health and well-being, both at an individual and community level. We aim to unravel the intricacies of mental health services, the impact of personal stories, and the significance of breaking down stigmas surrounding mental health conditions. Through the exploration of real-life examples and practical advice, we aspire to empower our audience with the tools needed to identify signs of struggle in youth, create a supportive environment, and contribute to the unlearning of prevalent misconceptions about mental health. Join us on this enlightening journey as we navigate the complexities of mental health, challenge stereotypes, and provide valuable insights that can foster a more compassionate and understanding society.   Today, we're joined by Nathalie Williams, a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over a decade of experience in mental health and substance abuse services. She has worked with individuals of all age groups, offering support for a wide range of diagnoses across various treatment settings, including in-home, outpatient, inpatient crisis stabilization, and residential care. Nathalie's expertise extends to co-occurring disorders, trauma survivors, high utilizers of behavioral health services, PTSD, offenders, homeless individuals, and those with developmental disabilities. She provides individual and family counseling, group counseling, crisis prevention, assessments, and case management.   In addition to her clinical work, Nathalie has extensive management experience, overseeing programs such as outpatient services, case management, residential group homes, psychiatric support services, and an intensive in-home program for at-risk youth. As the Director of Outpatient Services and Case Management at Lakeview Center of Walton County, Nathalie is dedicated to improving the well-being of her clients. Her career is characterized by a commitment to using evidence-based therapies, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to provide effective and transformative techniques. Throughout her journey, Nathalie's work embodies the resilience and strength of the human spirit, empowering individuals to overcome even the most challenging circumstances.   “Learning how to make our language more accepting and warmer and making a person feel like the individual that they are, it is a key component to breaking the stigma around mental health.” – Nathalie Williams   Show Highlights:   (00:00:00) Episode disclaimer, highlight, and introduction (00:02:11) Welcoming today's guest, Nathalie Williams.

And in order for us to really meet those needs, collaboration must be a part of the picture.” – Abraham Sculley “If someone you know, or love is talking about things in a way that's a safety concern immediately, get help. Take it seriously.” – Nathalie Williams “I think one of the challenges that we hear or see a lot is not necessarily that there's a lack of resources, but there is no awareness of what resources are accessible. And so, we're not taking advantage of these resources because we don't even know they exist.” – Abraham Sculley “We are not our addiction. We are a person who struggles with those things just like you might struggle with diabetes.” – Nathalie Williams   “It's being observant, it's making people feel heard and being aware of how our communication and language impacts one another.” – Nathalie Williams   “Mental health is our emotional, psychological and social well-being.

Trauma is a complex phenomenon that goes beyond just the stereotypical "big" events. It encompasses a wide range of experiences, including what some might consider smaller stressors. In its broader definition, trauma includes any experience that overwhelms us, whether it's too much, too soon, too much for too long, or too little for too long.   Moreover, it is vital to recognize that the impact of trauma is not limited to mental health but also has a profound physical effect on the body. To foster a more trauma-informed society, we must create a supportive and sensitive environment where people can receive the understanding and care they need to heal.   In this episode, we want to help listeners gain valuable insights into the transformative power of trauma-informed care and bottom-up approaches to mental health. We'll explore success stories, practical techniques, and ways to overcome stigma, all to foster a deeper understanding of how these approaches can bring about positive change in individuals' lives. The discussion also touches on the importance of recognizing and understanding trauma, the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and the significance of having a safe and supportive person or environment to process trauma. Tune in today as we embark on this enlightening exploration, providing valuable insights and empowering knowledge.   Today, we're joined by Kerry Whiteley, a pre-licensed professional, counselor, facilitator, and engaging speaker guiding individuals on a journey of uncovering hidden strengths, rewriting narratives, processing trauma, and honing new skills. With a unique blend of Somatic Integration and Processing, Mindfulness-based CBT, EMDR, Complex Trauma Treatment, and an array of other transformative techniques, Kerry's approach is a wellspring of healing. Kerry firmly believes in the unconquerable human spirit, showcasing the resilience that empowers individuals to conquer even the most daunting circumstances.   "The broad definition of trauma is anything that is too much too soon, too much for too long, or too little for too long." – Kerry Whiteley   Show Highlights:   (00:00:00) Episode disclaimer, highlight, and introduction (00:03:01) Welcoming today's guest, Kerry Whiteley.

The higher your ACE score, the higher your chance of suffering from psychological or medical problems in adulthood." – Kerry Whiteley   "If you had somebody supportive and secure to process and hold you through that, that could mitigate the effect of trauma. We can truly experience almost anything if we have someone to navigate it with us." – Kerry Whiteley   "Being a teacher in a school doesn't ensure that a student will watch it, walk into your classroom, and feel safe. It was something about your presence." – Kerry Whiteley   "I want to be mindful of what I say so that it's not triggering for anyone." – Abraham Sculley   "Life doesn't have to be the way that it's always been for you." – Abraham Sculley   "If we can step back and give people space to have their own experience and be potentially that supportive soft place to process things, I feel like that would make a difference." – Kerry Whiteley   "Mental health is developing an intimate relationship with yourself, getting to know who you are from the bottom up." – Kerry Whiteley   Connect with Kerry via the following:   · Website: https://maitricounselingcenter.com/ · Email: kwhiteley78@gmail.com .

In a world governed by oppression, where lies prevail, and flawed systems are utilized to control the masses, many people struggle to attain true freedom and joy. As we continue to witness the disintegration of our freedoms, we must turn to future generations and empower them to build a brighter world.  In this episode, Dr. Stanton Hom joins the Apogee mentor call with Matt Beaudreau and imparts his wisdom to a group of young men.  Dr. Stan shares what led to his journey to becoming a chiropractor and his fight for freedom along the way.  You won't want to miss this inspiring episode that sparks a discussion of optimism and hope for the future, with these young men at the helm! Quotes: “Everything that I do is geared towards helping future generations express more of their inborn radically resilient, but also the genius level potential that most of us have never been taught that is how we are designed.” – Stanton Hom “We are in a world where two people behind this thing could hate it and never want to put on [the mask on], not believing it. But they are so socially afraid to say something that they will stay obedient and keep going. That said, I will never quiet my voice. ” – Stanton Hom. “Everything you're learning today is the mental, physical, and spiritual ammunition you need to meet the challenges. Because the solution is not going to come from me, the solution is not going to come from Matt; the solution is going to come from you guys. Your light and your miraculous nature and deep inspiration and purpose will fuel many of the answers. ” – Stanton Hom. Key Takeaways: Everyone has a genius-level potential residing inside us. That is how we are designed. Our future generations must unlock this power and utilize it to change our dark world and create a brighter future. Nowadays, people do not understand how grave the situation is and how it will negatively affect people's lives. And others, despite being aware, are afraid to step up and fight. But if we want the oppression to stop, we need to take action and let them hear our voices. To the future generations, what you are learning and experiencing in your youth will prepare you for upcoming challenges you may face in your lifetime.   Highlights/Timeline: [08:09] - What does Dr. Stanton do and what does he stand for? [15:07] - Does Dr. Stanton still get pushback from his parents? [27:47] - How social media changed Dr. Stanton's life. [32:17] - How did Dr. Hom decide to start a podcast? [38:34] - Future Generation's questions [55:45] - What skills have helped Dr. Stanton become the man he is today? [1:02:35] - The system is not going to give you a way out of the system.  Conclusion: It may seem difficult to fight those in power who control almost every aspect of our lives. However, we can change the world if everyone speaks up, steps up, and fights. Don't be afraid; nothing will change until we take action. It is important that our future generations continue to learn and use their potential inner power for the greater good. Our youth are the hope, the light, the inspiration, the purpose, and the key to a brighter future.

We all have those days when the weight of the world is overwhelming, and the idea of enduring another day seems nearly impossible. It's normal to feel a bit lost and hopeless in those moments.  Just remember that you're not alone. Every single one of us, including myself, has experienced those exact feelings.

Key Takeaways • Everyone needs to consider body temperature regulation • High body temperature causes fatigue • Temperature can be regulated by dumping heat from the palms   “The way it works is your body dumps heat into the aluminum, the aluminum dumps heat into the water, and that allows it to stay as cool as possible for as long as possible,” explains Kyle Sela, physical therapist, strength coach, founder and owner of AVA Cooling Technology, a performance enhancement company focusing on thermoregulation with a current specialization in palmar cooling. Today, Kyle joins host Andrew Fix to talk about using palmar cooling to improve exercise performance and recovery.   One of the byproducts of exercise is heat. This increase in body heat causes fatigue at both the cellular level and the motivational level. Whether you are an elite athlete or someone looking to improve their fitness, palm cooling can help take your performance further. Due to the glabrous skin on the palms of our hands, they are a very effective pathway for heat dumping. The AVA Mitt, made of simple materials like aluminum and water, is making palmar cooling more practical and accessible, so that everyone can have a chance to improve their performance.   When your body has an outlet for dumping the excess heat during exercise, you are able to reduce fatigue and exercise for longer. Add palm cooling to your training regimen and see how many more reps you do. Quotes • “One of those byproducts of exercise is that our body temperature will rise, and a rise in body temperature can become deadly if we get up to that 104 degree range. But until that point, it's also going to begin to cause fatigue in our body.” (13:07-13:21 | Kyle) • “Underneath the glabrous skin of our palms, face, and soles, we have this circuit that is mainly used for temperature regulation.” (16:33-16:39 | Kyle) • “This just allows you to work harder for longer in your workout. Then if you extrapolate that over a training cycle, you're going to see incredible benefits.” (32:13-32:30 | Kyle) • “The way it works is your body dumps heat into the aluminum, the aluminum dumps heat into the water, and that allows it to stay as cool as possible for as long as possible.” (35:30-35:41 | Kyle) • “Body temperature and the regulation of it is something that we all need to consider as humans and athletes. It's not for the elite, it's for everybody.” (48:52-48:59 | Kyle)    Links Connect with Kyle Sela: Website | https://www.avacooling.com/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/avacoolingtechnology/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/kyle_sela/   Connect with Physio Room:  Website | ​​https://physioroomco.com/  Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/physioroomco/ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/physioroomco Andrew's Personal Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/dr.andrewfix/  Andrew's Personal Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/andrew.fix.9/   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

The world is facing many challenging situations that require strong leadership. Even if you aren't in a “leadership position,” you can be a leader. Transformational leaders are those who empower and enable those around them to achieve their highest potential. In doing so, their teams thrive. In this episode, we hear from Bianca Thompson-Owen as she shares her thoughts and reflections on various leadership styles, how failure is a key to growth, and ways that transformational leaders bring out the best in their people.  Key Takeaways:Everyone in your organization has the capacity to be a leader. Yes, even you. Getting people to think of themselves as leaders and to recognize the ways that they are already leaders is an important part of being a transformational leader yourself.Transformational leaders empower others to empower themselves. They lead by example, are reflective, empathetic, and solution-oriented. They are change agents, and focused on bringing about meaningful change at their organizations. Transformational leadership is an ongoing process. There is not a “one and done” action that you can do and say “I'm a transformational leader.” It takes self-reflection, vulnerability, a willingness to be adaptable and flexible, and a willingness to change. 

Key Takeaways • Everyone involved in wellness can have greater success by putting the patient/client first • Flip the script and ask the right questions to take back control over your healthcare • Stop deciding your healthcare solutions based solely on who takes your insurance   “You owe yourself the same questions, the same process, whether you're calling the chiro office, a massage therapist, or a personal trainer. Any of these things can be a solution for you if you take the reins back from them,” explains Jerry Durham, physical therapist and owner of The Client Experience Company. Today, Jerry joins host Andrew to talk about the healthcare solution and the importance of putting the focus back on finding out the patient's actual needs.   Everyone has different needs and there can be multiple potential solutions for similar health concerns. Unfortunately, the healthcare industry has the wrong focus most of the time, and when a patient calls the focus is entirely on scheduling, asking for insurance information, or selling something. In order to actually get to a true solution, you have to ask the right questions. Otherwise, you will end up wasting your time, money, and energy going to providers who cannot actually help. Asking the right questions to qualify a potential patient is also important on the provider's side otherwise you will end up scheduling someone who is a bad fit when that time could have been better spent on someone else.    Many healthcare workers are suffering from burnout, but this should not be an excuse for them to be unhelpful. If you call someone looking for a healthcare solution, you owe it to yourself to advocate for your health by asking the right questions. Ideally, the people answering the phone would ask the right questions of you, but if that does not happen then it is up to you to take back control.     Quotes • “We can have greater success in healthcare, in physiotherapy, in wellness, by focusing on the people we serve.” (3:40-3:48 | Jerry) • “Where this journey should really start for you is what you're looking at online, what you're reading, what questions you're asking, and what questions are asked of you from this so-called solution.” (11:34-11:48 | Jerry) • “You owe yourself the same questions, the same process, whether you're calling the chiro office, a massage therapist, or a personal trainer. Any of these things can be a solution for you if you take the reins back from them.” (31:13-31:29 | Jerry) • “Quit basing your health and wellness on if they take your insurance.” (47:06-47:09 | Jerry) Social Media   Links Connect with Jerry Durham: Website | https://www.clientexperiencecompany.com/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/jerrydurhampt/?hl=en Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/JerryDurhamPT/ Twitter | https://twitter.com/Jerry_DurhamPT?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor  LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerry-durham-5383711/   Connect with Physio Room:  Website | ​​https://physioroomco.com/  Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/physioroomco/ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/physioroomco Andrew's Personal Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/dr.andrewfix/  Andrew's Personal Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/andrew.fix.9/   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

In this episode, Jeannette talks to George Evans, who is an advocate for the trans community. He speaks openly about realising that he was a man despite being raised as a girl and his transition journey, which he started in his late teens.   They discuss what being trans means and what it is like. George explains, what he did when he realised that the NHS was unable to help him to transition, how he met his girlfriend and how he felt while going through his transformation. As well as explaining the impact taking hormones had on his emotions, personality, and body.  He also shares advice for others who find themselves in the same situation.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Everyone needs to be true to themselves. Life is better when you are yourself. There is still a lack of information for transexuals to access and still very little understanding in society as a whole. Don't go through things alone connect to others who are on the same journey as you. Now, there are quite a few trans men groups on social media. Be 100% sure before transitioning physically. Hormones transform your brain too; you feel different and react differently to things. You never stop taking testosterone and it takes a long time for it to transform your body. Asking trans people about their surgeries is highly likely to make them feel very uncomfortable. It is an extremely intimate question. The kind of question you would not dream of asking anyone else. It is hard for people around you to adjust to a new name, pronouns and the gender change you have made. In some states in America, you can still get fired for being trans.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Gender and sexuality are very different things. ´ ‘Find someone to connect with, talk to somebody who's going through it. Don't just sit there and think I am alone.' ‘I always describe being trans today as like, as the equivalent of, being gay in the 70s.'   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

On this episode of INCOGNITO the podcast, Michael interviews Dr. Kimberly Narain! Dr. Narain completed her residency in Primary Care Internal Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. Following fellowships at Harvard Medical School and UCLA, Dr. Narain served as a Specialty Training Advanced Research Fellow in the Department of General Internal Medicine & Health Services Research at UCLA, where she later earned a Ph.D. in Health Services from the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, and is now an Assistant Professor In-Residence at the UCLA School of Medicine. In this conversation, Michael and Dr. Narain discuss the importance of creating work environments in which everyone can contribute, seeing yourself as in relationships of mutual benefit with others as opposed to in competition with them, and looking for the win-win in every situation. Dr. Narain shares what inspired her to write her new book, The Cycle of a Dream: A Kid's Introduction to Structural Racism in America, and the many benefits of seeking out different perspectives and untold stories at all ages. Key Takeaways: Everyone has something to contribute when under the right circumstances Practice humility; think of others first Don't be wedded to the strategy, be wedded to the goal Stop seeing yourself in competition with others, remove hierarchy Ask: What's missing, can I help? Appreciate people's time Lead with self-reflection instead of blame Look for the win-win: setting aside oneself to serve others will ultimately benefit everyone Seek out different perspectives, look for untold stories Start small Dr. Narain's Media Recommendations: The Ezra Klein Show, “We Build Civilizations on Status.

In this episode, Joel, and Andy talk about the importance of purpose. They discuss the role that their, sometimes lofty, ideals and goals have played in propelling them forwards and achieving success. Explaining how you can define your own purpose and learn to use it to succeed too.   Knowing what your purpose is ensures that you focus on what really matters to you. As a result, you save time and energy.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Everyone has their own purpose and their own compelling reason for striving to achieve something. Usually working to help others to become successful or happier, benefits you greatly. Believing that your purpose is to help others can be incredibly powerful. Periodically, you need to stop and ask yourself why you are doing what you are doing. It is not a good idea for your sole purpose to be making more money. During the episode, Joel and Andy explain why. To be able to achieve your purpose in your work life you need to be working with a team that shares your values. Don´t let strangers on social media into your head and pull you down. They will distract you from fulfilling your purpose. You only have so much emotional and mental energy, be careful not to squander it.   BEST MOMENTS ‘So much in life and in business is about purpose to what you´re doing and why.' ‘You can derive so much happiness from other people's success.' ‘If your sole purpose is to make money, the problem is when you make it, you just want to make more of it.'     VALUABLE RESOURCES The Codebreak Club: https://www.facebook.com/groups/codebreakclub/about/ Stay Hungry podcast series Stay Hungry Bestselling Book Marketing coaching: www.andyandjoel.com Done-for-you marketing: www.codebreak.co.uk     If you're fed up with wasting your time and money on marketing that doesn't generate enquiries and sales - hop on a Codebreak discovery call.    After all, getting lots of 'likes' on your Facebook page ain't gonna make your boat go faster.

The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. In today's episode, Jenn discusses clean eating. She talks about her pet peeves around what clean eating has become and how it has gotten away from its guiding principles. Jenn talks about the confusion that clean eating has led to, from conversations with others to how food is packaged and advertised. Jenn then transitions into what clean eating means to her and how we want the importance to be focused on how each individual feels, avoiding allergens, and eating closer to nature. Tune in today to learn more about how clean eating is an individualized way of eating and how to implement it into your life.IN THIS EPISODE:●   [5:53] Jenn's pet peeves around “clean eating.”●   [14:50] Myths around clean eating. ●   [17:53] What are Jenn's thoughts around Whole 30?●   [19:27] What are you actually supposed to eat?●   [22:05] What is the risk when focusing on “clean eating”? ●   [28:10] What was clean eating designed to mean?●   [30:50] Adjusting clean eating around allergens. ●   [36:35] What is C.R.A.P.?●   [40:13] How to look at and think about packaged ingredients.●   [41:24] Guiding principles to eating well for your body.●   [43:22] What is non-food eating? ●   [44:30] How do we manage to reduce sugar?KEY TAKEAWAYS:●   Everyone's definition of “clean eating” is different. It's ok that different people think about clean eating differently - it's what is “clean” for them. Get curious about what other people mean by clean eating. ●   Clean eating is finding the balance of things that make us feel our best and a diet that can be sustained. Be willing to eat at restaurants and be flexible, make sure that we aren't so focused on a way of eating that it becomes unhealthy and unsustainable. ●   The original premise of clean eating was about getting more foods on our plates that are wholesome, nutritious, and closer to the source (minimally processed)—eating the rainbow, adding more veggies, etc. QUOTES: "Something might be labeled clean but that doesn't inherently mean it's healthful.” -  Jenn Trepeck“My approach with clients is to figure out a plan where the tracks won't break in 30 days.” - Jenn Trepeck“If the tracks broke and we feel like we failed, it's not us, it's the track. This plan is what didn't allow for life, and therefore it's not the plan for life.” - Jenn Trepeck“I think a big piece of clean eating that is still different for each person is minimizing the allergens.” - Jenn TrepeckWe don't want perfection and purity to be the enemy of good and improvement." - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramJenn's Capsaicin Supplement for US ListenersJenn's Capsaicin Supplement for Global Listeners

He is the founder of Inspire Leadership Coaching , and the host of  Inspire Leadership Podcast as well as the podcast This Is Leadership . Key Takeaways: Everyone can be a leader so it's important to make sure you are adding value to those who step forward. Look for and develop opportunities to help others improve their leadership skills. Create masterminds for administrators and teachers. This will help create collective efficacy. One on one meetings are difficult to schedule but incredibly valuable for individual development. Collective efficacy is three times more likely to have a positive impact on student learning than any other factor according to John Hattie's research. Successful leadership development results in leaders developing others into leaders. Leadership development is working when leaders are improving in the process of improvement. Effective learning cycles are key to the improvement and development of leaders. Stay in Touch: Twitter Website

Dawn is joined by Vassil Karamanov who is a transformation coach and a conscious empath and lover of life.  Together they discuss how to keep your sense of openness and acceptance of what is and remove the blocks that are stopping you from being high on life. Vassil shares details of his journey including how he has learned to truly forgive, found a way to quickly neutralize stressful thoughts and how he cured his back pain by rewiring his mind. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone has a lower self and a higher self voice in their heads. It is possible to learn to listen to the higher self-voice. To shift from focusing on the one negative thing someone says to you and making that your truth to having a far more balanced view of who you are. We all experience bad things in life, it is normal to experience pain at those times, but many of us fall into the trap of then continuing to live our lives in pain. Allowing that way of living to become our norm. Forgiveness is hugely powerful. It is not about letting the other person off the hook. In fact, it is you that you are letting off the hook. You are saying goodbye to a lot of stress and pain. It benefits everyone. With love there are a lot of testing periods. People change, so sometimes moving on is the most loving choice. Emotional intelligence stops you from getting so angry that you let things escalate and cuss someone else out, get violent or take it out on others. But that does not mean you ignore the issue. Instead, you wait for the right time and talk through it. BEST MOMENTS “You can eliminate sadness and anger from most of your life and it greatly reduces stress.” “Resentment is like drinking poison.” “When you have a partnership, it should be an equal exchange of time, energy and effort.” CONTACT METHOD https://www.instagram.com/theawakeningwithdawn dawn@theawakeningwithdawn.com ABOUT THE HOST Dawn Rishárd, M.A. with 20 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor, Marriage, and Family Systems, I empower people to release the past, open their hearts, and receive the love they desire.

It's about making an impact." -Michelle Seiler TuckerEpisode Summary:Michelle Seiler Tucker — best-selling author and Founder and CEO of Seiler Tucker Incorporated — joins Connor to talk about what it means to “Exit Rich.” Hear Michelle talk about her days as “The Closer” at Xerox, how she leverages her sales expertise in her Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) business, and the importance of helping sellers identify what they really want. Learn about viable exit plans and how the right model will help you build your business into a more valuable asset.Key Takeaways:Everyone has a different definition of “rich.”To successfully exit rich, you need a viable exit plan. Planning your exit with the right model means building a business that will be a real asset when it comes time to sell. And never say never. A business owner with an “I'll never sell” attitude isn't focused on innovating and scaling an asset. In business, you're either growing or dying. So, the idea of never selling ends up being self-destructive.The high risk isn't in startups anymore. Right now, it's businesses that have been around for 10 years or more “dropping like flies” because they want to do things the way they've always done them instead of marketing and innovating.More HighlightsKnow your core competency.

Being conscious about what you are doing is key in all areas of your life and Gordon looks at what happens when you haven't quite got something across the finish line or you haven't given yourself the opportunity. Ultimately it's all about being self-aware  when you stop short and be conscious of your actions. You can stop yourself from self-sabotaging and not getting to the finish line if you understand the importance of consistency and recognise when a process isn't working and what you can take forward.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone can have a different finish line and it's important to understand where your finish line is. Getting to a 100% is about taking the time to practice and finesse your skills Can you identify where you are leaving something on the table You need to make sure the customer is getting 100% Sometimes the last 5% can be the most difficult to achieve Motivation is key in getting across the finish line If you are not consistent you may stop but it's important to give everything an opportunity to work out. If you quit early you can still take the things that worked onto the next thing If something isn't working you can change your approach You need to give something an opportunity for success Things don't change overnight it's a longer process You have to trust the process and give it time If you have allowed the time and a process isn't working out then you can change it   BEST MOMENTS ‘The finish line can seem a long way away' ‘Consistent action and goal setting is the key to success' ‘A learning experience is something that you can benefit from'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Life, Living It and Loving It podcast   ABOUT THE HOST     Welcome to the life, living it and loving it podcast with Extreme Execution Coach Gordon Done.    We don't know about you, but we're fed up of burning ourselves out and living in a state of survival.

In this episode, John Honerkamp talks about all things running. John Honerkamp, affectionately known as Coach John, has coached runners of all ages and abilities for more than 20 years. A graduate of St. John’s, John was an eight-time All-Big East and six-time All-East (IC4A) athlete while running for the Red Storm. He earned 12 Big East All-Academic accolades and was the youngest semi-finalist in the 800-meters at the 1996 U.S. Olympic Trials. John is deeply involved in the New York City running community. He launched the Off the Hook Track Club, a local training group based in the Red Hook neighbourhood of Brooklyn and created The Run Collective — born out of a desire to unite the running community and connect, collaborate, and celebrate all efforts from various clubs, crews, and people in the city. Today, we hear some of the mental blocks and physical issues that John often sees with his students, and how he creates milestones to motivate himself to keep running. John tells us about choosing the right shoe, when to replace them, and he gives some advice to new runners, all on today’s episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast. Key Takeaways “Everyone’s a runner. Some people just choose not to run.” “You can’t change overnight.” “It takes 3 or 4 weeks to find a rhythm, sometimes even longer. Just be patient, slow down, and make sure it’s fun.” “Taking care of yourself is really important. There are a lot of little things like massage, stretching, eating right, and all these things that are small things that add up to bigger gains.” Suggested Keywords Running, Coach, Exercise, Jogging, WaterPik, Massage, Wellness, Health, To learn more, follow John at: Website:          Run Kamp Facebook:       @johnhonerkamp Instagram:       @johnhonerkamp LinkedIn:         https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhonerkamp Email:              john@runkamp.com WaterPik Power Pulse Showerhead WaterPik Water for Wellness Council Subscribe to Healthy, Wealthy & Smart: Website:                      https://podcast.healthywealthysmart.com Apple Podcasts:          https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/healthy-wealthy-smart/id532717264 Spotify:                        https://open.spotify.com/show/6ELmKwE4mSZXBB8TiQvp73 SoundCloud:               https://soundcloud.com/healthywealthysmart Stitcher:                       https://www.stitcher.com/show/healthy-wealthy-smart iHeart Radio:                https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-healthy-wealthy-smart-27628927 Read the full transcript here:  Speaker 1 (00:00): Hey, John, welcome to the podcast. I'm happy to have you on. Speaker 2 (00:05): Thanks for having me. Yes. Speaker 1 (00:06): A fellow new Yorker, just over the bridge in Brooklyn. Speaker 2 (00:10): That's right. I'm a couple blocks from prospect park. So I do a lot of my running and activities and in prospect park. So I feel fortunate to have access to that space. Speaker 1 (00:20): Perfect. Perfect. So now let's talk a little bit more about you before we go on. So people know you're a run, a running coach and you've been running for the good portion of your life, but can you kind of fill in some of the gaps and let the listeners know a little bit more about kind of what led you up to where you are today in the running world? Speaker 2 (00:40): Yeah. I was fortunate to have an uncle that lived next door to me, and he was trying to lose weight and training for the marathon. Either the New York or the long Island marathon or both, this is probably like 1982, 83. And to DeVos's neighbor, he would just bring me along to some of these 5k and 10 K races. And that was kind of like in the first kind of first a second running boom. And, you know, I do the kids fun run, which to be honest, not a lot of kids were doing, it was usually about a mile distance. And then it gradually, I would, you know, after a year or two, I would, you know, take a stab at the 5k, which was a pretty far distance for seven or eight year old. But I just got exposed to running at an early age and, but not really, I mean, competitive against myself, maybe the clock, but not super serious. Speaker 2 (01:24): I did other sports, but when I w when I got to high school, when I went out for the cross country and track team, and we had a pretty good high school in sports in general. And I kind of had a leg up as far as I've been running for races for a couple of years. And I kind of had, you know, a little bit more experienced than the average freshman, but I definitely was better at running than basketball, football, baseball. I was very good on defense and I realized that equates to like, not scoring a lot of baskets, but it really annoying the other competitors where I had a good engine. And so, you know, I ran very well in high school. I got recruited and I went random, got a full scholarship to St. John's in Queens and ran there for four years. Speaker 2 (02:10): And I was fortunate enough to get better each year. And I had a really good year, my junior year and 1996, I qualified for the Olympic trials and the 800 meters. And that was also the year that the Olympics were in the U S and Atlanta. So it was just actually that kind of a perfect year. It was 20 years old. I got, I just advanced really, really well. That's, that's that's spring season dropped about four seconds of my 800, which is a pretty good chunk of time for that distance. The next thing you know, I found myself at the NCAA at the Olympic trials competing in Europe as the 22 and as a 20 year old. So that was kind of the beginning of it. And then obviously I got into professional running post-collegiate Lee. I ran for a team Reebok team based out of Georgetown university, but the legendary coach, Frank Gagliano. Speaker 2 (02:51): And I did that for a couple of years training for the trials in 2000. And in 2001, I moved and I was living in DC for those three years. And then I moved back to New York and I was still competitive. I ran for the New York athletic club, but I had to gradually kind of turned from competitive runner to not necessarily weekend warrior. I was still running a fair amount and I'm still competing, but I was focused on other things and then got into coaching and initially at running camps over the summer as a college kid, and then I coached high school was my first gig when I was coaching. When I was running professionally, I coached high school down in Virginia and then got up here in New York. And next thing I know I was coaching. I worked for the New York Roadrunners for five plus years and handled all their training and education and launched virtual training platforms where I was coaching 5,000 runners for the New York city marathon. At one time, the life I was just emailing people all the time, but it really gave me a nice quick you know, again, it's just different. I mean, there's a lot of same principles and at whatever level you're at and running, but coaching the folks that maybe aren't elite or don't have two hours to take a nap every day and do all the recovery things that we'll probably talk Speaker 1 (03:55): About are most people. Speaker 2 (03:58): Absolutely. I got a really, you know, a crash course in coaching, like the everyday adult who has two jobs and has kids and running as again, as I can sneak it in on the weekends, trying to get in before your kids get up, I'm finding I do that myself now being a father too. Yeah, so I started early and I never got burned out from it. I always had great coaches that didn't run me into the ground. And there's plenty of stories out there where kids, whatever sport we're talking about, or even other disciplines like music or dance or art or whatever, if you do too much, and it's not fun anymore, and you start not liking it. And I was able to, even though I didn't enjoy it all the time for the most part, I really enjoyed running throughout my life and at different levels of competitiveness. Speaker 2 (04:40): And and I'm very proud that I, I do, I do call myself a I've run races and stuff, but I'm not offended anymore when people call me a jogger or they asked me how my jog was. I actually realized that I was doing a lot of jogging, even when I'm at the elite level, the recovery runs were very easy paced. So I'm quite proud to be a jogger. And but yeah, that's kinda like my quick and dirty version of how I got into running and the kind of trajectory that I've been on. And again, I've been running for about 35 years and probably kosher for close to 25 at various Speaker 1 (05:12): Amazing. So you've coached, we can easily say you've coached thousands of people. Speaker 2 (05:17): Absolutely. Yeah. The technology and the online platforms recently, it does make it easier, very scalable. And you can say, yeah, Speaker 1 (05:24): Yeah, amazing. And just so people know the way John and I met was through so people who who listened to this or see me on social media, you know, that I'm part of the water Waterpik water for wellness council as is John. So they've got two new Yorkers and we're both council members. And one of the things that we have been working with is a Waterpik power, pulse, therapeutic strength, massage, shower, head, try and say that 10 times fast. But we'll talk about kind of how, how John sort of incorporates that with his runners and any benefits that they're seeing from, from switching a shower head, which is pretty easy. But before we get into all of that, John, let's talk about some of the common complaints or common issues that you're seeing with your runners. And just so people know, we spoke a little bit before we went on the air here. And the one thing I really want to hone in on first before we get to the physical things that everybody thinks of that happens with runners, but there's the mental side of it too. And sometimes that could be the more important side. So talk to me about what kind of mental blocks you're seeing from your, your students. Speaker 2 (06:40): Yeah, I mean, mentally it's it's funny because people, when they find out that I've given coaching all these years and been running and maybe I was faster and fast and slow is a relative term, but you know, competed at the Olympic trials, they're always Oh, well, you wouldn't want to coach me because I'm not a real runner or, Oh, I don't run like you. And I'm like, how do you run? You put one foot in front of the other, you leave the ground and move forward. It's very simple. And so people often have a love, hate, or just hate relationship of running because either it was a punishment for other sports growing up, we had to do laps. Oftentimes it had to do with pre-season conditioning. And if you're coming off the summer and like, you like me in high school, the first couple of years, you didn't do your homework over the summer. So you show up and you're, you know, you're out of shape and you're doing laps and it's hot. I remember that in football practice as an eighth grader, just being like miserable and like running was, was, was terrible, Speaker 1 (07:30): Especially in the Northeast when you've got the heat and the humidity and everything else. Yeah. Speaker 2 (07:34): So or they, you know, it was a gym class and they had it, they know the presidential fitness test and they had to do a time tomorrow on a terrible thing. But like, I was actually good at that because I liked running ahead at like an early traction to running. And I was doing pretty well at it, but for the most people, it was not fun. And it was just an awful experience. So whether they come to they're new to running in their adult life, or they were even if they were faster and fitter and did other sports as a, as a youngster that maybe they took 10, 20 years off based on whatever. And now they're getting back to it. And they're really the mental block of, Oh, I'm not a runner and maybe I shouldn't do this. And you know, and that is really oftentimes getting people to accept that they, that they're falsely claiming that they're not a runner when they're really just, I always say, everyone's a runner. Speaker 2 (08:22): Some people just choose not to run or they don't know how to start. So I really enjoyed that process of getting people over that mental hump, if it exists of, Hey, you're a runner I want to find out where you're at, and then we're going to take you from there to where you want to go. And you need to know where you are before, you know, where you're going. And so it's really like, I think oftentimes changing their mindset and saying, it's okay to run 10 minute miles or 12 minute miles or seven minute miles. I don't care. I like numbers and data when I'm crunching numbers about your training and maybe how you paced properly or improperly. So I'll get geeky about that. But I don't really care. I, I coach someone who runs 15 minute miles the same as I would someone coaching seven minute miles. Speaker 2 (09:01): And so it's just the mental space that they're in of, Oh, I shouldn't be here. I don't belong. I'm not really doing it right. And oftentimes they'll say, Oh, I'm not running is not for me. I get this all the time. I can't run more than a block. And I'm always like, well, what block you running up? Is it uphill at altitude when you're carrying a backpack of weights? Because probably most people could run a block and they're just running too fast. And they think of running as being painful. So that has to hurt. But to be honest, most of my training, especially for like a marathon, for example, I have a lot of first-time marathoners and most of the running is actually easy. Pace. Marathon pace is actually quite easy. It's just hard to do for 26 miles. So the barrier of like not pacing yourself or not going out too fast for a couple of minutes where they have to stop, those are quick fixes in my opinion. And that's the mental side of things. And then there's a couple of common physical issues that come up, which I can talk about for sure as well. Speaker 1 (09:54): Yeah. I know. I love the, that sort of mental barriers, because I think if we're talking about new, new to new to running folks or folks who maybe took a year, five years, 10 years off, and they're coming back to it, like you start and you think to yourself, God, it's taking me 15 minutes to run a mile. I feel like such a loser, everyone else, like, cause you hear Oh, eight minute mile, seven minute miles. Like that's where you should quote unquote, should be. If you want to run a marathon, you don't want to be running for seven hours. This is, you know what I mean? And, and I think that that's, that can be really difficult for people and kind of turn them off before they even start. So what kind of techniques do you have for someone like that who's coming to you saying, I feel like such a loser. I can only run a 15 minute mile or 18 minute mile, whatever it is. Speaker 2 (10:48): Yeah. I think I also encourage people to have a running log or a diary, which is an extra step, but it also helps you get progress. It also helps you with injury prevention and to deal with injuries when you do have them, which I'm sure we'll get into, but I often buy I'll run by minutes. So it's like today you're doing 20 minute run versus a three mile run or a five miles. So they don't honestly know how many now, if they have a GPS watch and they're tracking things, they'll know after the fact that, Oh, that was the 13 minute mile or whatever, but I'll run by minutes. So you don't, you know, and then that, I think sometimes it's a different mindset or a way of tracking where it does free you up a little bit of not having to do the three miles in 30 minutes. Speaker 2 (11:23): That's easy math. That's only 10 minutes or whatever it is. You just run for 20 minutes or whatever it is, 30 minutes, 40 minutes. And even when you get in your longer runs for longer distances, you're, you're, you're increasing by five or 10 minutes, not a full mile. Sometimes I liked that worked and that's kind of how I'd run anyway. I'll just do a 30 minute shakeout run or something and I'm not right. Especially if it's not a workout, it's a workout quality day where I'm doing six times 800 or I'm doing something like that. It'll, it'll be more important to know the pace and effort, but most of the running, just getting out there and doing it. Yeah. Speaker 1 (11:55): So it's like, you, you can accomplish that 20 minutes. You get that win and you gradually build your confidence, right? Yeah. No, that makes perfect sense. I really liked that. And I also like keeping a running log or a running diary. It's the same thing. We tell people if they want to lose weight, one of the, almost every nutritionist or dietician will tell you to keep a food diary. I do that with patients with chronic pain, I'll have them keep a pain diary so that they can kind of keep track of maybe what they did and what their pain levels were and things like that. So it doesn't work for everyone, but I think it works. Speaker 2 (12:28): I have a quick story about that when I was just just first year as a professional runner, I had all these shin problems. I got down to DC and I felt like this kind of like loser, cause everyone was just professional runners. They're all qualifying for the Olympics and trying to qualify for the Olympics. And I had shin splints. So I was like running 20 minutes by myself and I couldn't work out. And I was seeing like a, you know, PT person and I was doing exercises and just seemed like I wasn't getting anywhere. It wasn't improving. And then the PT said, Hey, you should really just monitor your pain on a scale of one to 10. And obviously you have a left shin and a right shin and both were hurting me. So I thought that was really silly and kind of stupid as a, as a 22 year old. Speaker 2 (13:05): And but I started doing it cause I had nothing else. I wasn't running riding much of my youth log. Other than I ran 20 minutes. I didn't have to take me a long to write what I did cause it wasn't a lot. So I had stuff to write about and to be honest, you know, say I had a six out of 10 or seven out of 10 was the pain level. And then all of a sudden, as I was ranking it throughout the weeks I was doing these PT exercises and, you know, strength exercises. And I'm like, are these really working kind of going through the motions? But then I did realize like one week or so in the sixes were fives and the fives were four weeks. And so I w if I didn't have that to document, I wouldn't know, I wouldn't be able to see the trend of in the right direction. Speaker 2 (13:43): So then I got more excited and I was more diligent about the exercises and I did them correctly. It was more intention. And that was really helpful because I could see progress where if I didn't have that, I would just be like, Oh, my shins hurt and not, you know, see, you know, again from five to four and everyone has their own relative scale of that, but it's just for that each person. And so that, I always tell that story. It was, I thought it was really silly, did it anyway. And it really helped me kind of snap out of that mode where I was like, wow, that really I could see progress. And I wouldn't be able to do that without having the data or the, or the documentation that I have it writing it down. So I'm a big believer in that. And I really it's, it's fun to see that you're, you're doing that with your patients as well, because that's one way to, you know, this, you can't remember everything and it's, we're all busy. Speaker 2 (14:29): And so if you can write it down and go back to it, even if they don't see the trend that you look at their, their, their diary, they might not see. And they're not going to be able to remember all these things, but if you can like read through their notes, you oftentimes, the coach will we'll pick up stuff before the athlete. And that's just like being a detective. Oftentimes I'm a detective as a coach, try to piece together. And the more information we have as coaches or detective detectives, you can get the root of the problem quicker. So document everything, it's, it's kind of like old school, but I, I can't speak more highly about that because that's really a game changer for me as a young 22 year old, but even to my athletes today. Speaker 1 (15:09): Yeah. Awesome. And now you mentioned shin splints. So let's talk about it. One of the common complaints that you get from your runners are shin splints. So as a running coach, what do you do with that? Speaker 2 (15:21): Yeah, it's funny. I was thinking about this in prep for this. And I got the same similar injuries as an elite athlete, as I do now is like weekend warrior. You know, dad, Bob jogger you know, shin splints and, and that's, shit's meds are pretty common because someone who's new to the sport either they're doing nothing. And now all of a sudden they're running 10, 20 miles a week, or they're someone who maybe was jogging and then they're training for a marathon all of a sudden, and they're upping their volume. So it's usually just an overage, an overuse issue. It can lead to stress fractures and things, a little more serious, but for the most part, if you have a good pair of shoes, which is super important, you don't need a lot of equipment, although it is getting colder here in the Northeast, and you do need to layer up a little bit, but you really just need a good pair of shoes. Speaker 2 (16:04): So that's really important and making sure that you're not doing too much too soon, because if someone is not shepherded you know, they're worried about calling themselves a runner and they get excited. If for whatever reason they get into the New York city marathon through the lottery or something, it's very easy to get overexcited and do too much too soon. And then you're kind of sitting on the sidelines. So it's really just kind of, and then I think a lot of new runners or new athletes, it's tough for them to decipher between pain and injury or soreness being uncomfortable. It's a guy I got to run through it that could lead to like, well, actually that pain is telling you something to slow down or to back off. And sometimes it is kind of navigating through aches and pains that just come with doing something new and doing it more often. So that's something that's always tough to decipher first time through, like, if you've never had shin splints, you're like, what are they? Like? You can ignore them and they don't go away and they become bigger problems. So shin splints, plantar, fasciitis, Achilles issues muscle poles it band with junk currently dealing with now my knee. Those are just kind of the common things that any runner will get, whether you're a professional at being or someone just starting out. Speaker 1 (17:13): And what are your thoughts on cadence? So oftentimes we'll all read or I'll see that if sometimes if you up your cadence and shorten your stride length when you're running that it's beneficial for some of these injuries, what are your thoughts on that? Speaker 2 (17:32): Yeah, I think if there's a chronic issue that keeps reoccurring, I definitely will kind of look at that, but oftentimes, and actually this is a good kind of tip for someone who's new to running. They often want to me to see them run the first time and like fix their form. And if they're 45 years old, like I am, you've been running for 45 years a certain way, or maybe 44 years because you didn't run as a six month old. But and my son just took his first steps this week. So that's exciting, but it's, you know, you're gonna get you, I, if you gotta get chased by a dog, you're gonna run a certain way. And so you don't need to change something you've been doing drastically, unless it's a chronic issue. That's always happening. People often say there's a breathing. Speaker 2 (18:15): How do I breathe in through the nose, the mouth? I said, however, don't even think about it. It's when you have a side cramp, that's keeps reoccurring that I tell people to kind of pay attention to that. But for the most part, don't worry about your form. Don't worry, your breathing just kind of get out there. And if it's something where you want to pass the time and count your steps, or there's some GPS devices that help you count. I really just pay attention to that. If there's something that's reoccurring, because otherwise I feel like you've been doing something and creating all this muscle memory for all these years and to drastically change form. And I often I'll hear this a lot where, Oh, my doctor told me I should run on my toes. I'm a heel striker. Well, then I see people running on their tiptoes in the park. Speaker 2 (18:55): I'm like, what are you doing? I know you can't just go from that to that. Yeah. When you run faster, you're naturally up on your toes. There's obviously certain shoes will help facilitate that. But like this, a lot of fast runners that run up their heel strikers, you don't have to be a toe runner, but I, I hear that a lot where my doctor said, or my coach or someone said on my toes and I'm like, not like a ballerina. So those are things where I think if you hear someone say, do this or work on your form, I think there's things to work on, but it's it's not something we want to change overnight because that could lead to overcompensating. And just other issues that I think people may make you maybe worse off than you were with just kind of figuring out something else, but your current form. Speaker 2 (19:37): And you can always improve things with drills and stretching and flexibility, which obviously the the power pulse therapeutic strike massage is, has helped us do. And we do even in my mid forties where I'm spitting up and spending a couple minutes a day focusing on that. But you can't change things. Even if you're 25 years old, it's still a lot of muscle memory made it. So you can't change it overnight just to be patient with that. And don't worry about it until it's kind of a problem that you see a persist, you know? Totally. Speaker 1 (20:07): Yeah. And you mentioned shoe selection. So this is always a question that I get as a PT. I'm sure you get it all the time, multiple times a week or hundreds of times a season, what shoes should I get? What sneakers should I get? And everyone wants to know what brand, what this would that. So what is your response to, what shoe do I get? Do you get, do you have like some guidelines to follow or what do you tell your, your athletes and your runners? Speaker 2 (20:34): Yeah, that's, you're absolutely right. I get that a lot. And it's really, I always tell folks, there's like, you know, everyone knows they're running brands, you know, there's new balance, Nike, this Brooks, you know, they all Saccone Mizuno, Hoka is on. Elena is new on running as a new, at a new company out of Switzerland. All those shoes will have the gamut. They'll have super neutral shoes, neutral being like you don't, you have a high arch, you don't need a lot of support. They have kind of the middle of the road where you have some support, some cushion, then you have like, you know, the Brooks base, for example, it's called the Brooks beasts or the new balance nine nineties. They're, they're meant for heavy duty. You know, someone might have a flat foot. And so there's the whole gamut. So there's usually, there's a shoe that's in that line. Speaker 2 (21:24): That's going to work for you. And you might not know that. And I was people tell people to go to a running store if they can, because, and they get intimidated by the Wallace shoes and they go for the pretty ones, oftentimes, but every shoe brand will have the same kind of like kind of small, medium, large, or they'll have the categories of neutral cushion all the way to really support and really corrective shoes and some shoes that are going to fit certain feet better. You know, and I've done some brand work for my business where I'm affiliated with a certain brand and I have to wear those. I'm always hoping that I can wear those and they're going to keep me healthy. But even when I'm repping those brands, I'll say, I don't, you don't have to wear the shoe that I'm wearing, even though I'm getting paid by that company to do various things, the shoe companies should want you to be healthy because then you can run and do more and more. Speaker 2 (22:12): So you know what one or two shoes might brands might work better for your foot? And some shoes are just run bigger. Some run wider as far as the shoe brands, but if you'd like a certain brand, historically, that's what you will and others haven't. But try on a bunch, take notes, document how you feel in them, but that every, every shoe company will have something for you. It's just going into a shoe store or doing some research of asking questions. And I was people that always afraid to go into a running store. They're there for mainly for beginner runners, because once you're like me and you know what you like, you just, you can, you can either get it from the store or you order it online shoes. I it's, you know, and obviously if I work for the new brand, I need to kind of re if I have to familiarize myself with different options, but it's really, I can't tell you, I mean, I can look at your foot and kind of see, okay, you're have a wide foot, you have no arch. Speaker 2 (23:06): You probably need a supportive shoe, but that's not like a blanket thing. You know, you also look at the wear of people's shoes from previous shoes and you can see where they're wearing down and I'm a podiatrist. But again, back to being a detective, you can, if you can look at things and say, but even my neighbor, the other day was like, what shoes should I wear? I don't like these they're too squishy. I'm like, well, you probably need a little bit more support. They're probably not too soft for you. Sure enough. I gave him the middle of the road running and these are great. It's also probably, I don't know how old the ones he was wearing were. So that's another problem. You go to the running store, you try on something a, maybe you're wearing heels all day at work, and then you go and try this awesome shoe on it's fluffy, and it's great. Speaker 2 (23:45): Then you go home and run out on a couple of times. And it's like, ah, maybe this is rubbing me the wrong way. I'm getting a blister. And oftentimes there's also the sizing. If you're a size 10 dress shoe, you might be a 10 and a half running shoe. And I'm someone who actually is 10 and a half in dress shoe and running shoe. But some of my spikes and performance shoes like flats and more racing shoes made it might've been a 10 because you actually want them either. So those are some other things to kind of think about sizing. Speaker 1 (24:13): What is the, what is the running, the mileage that you put on your sneakers before it's recommended to change? Speaker 2 (24:21): Yeah. I think the industry says the two 50 to 500, which is a big range. So it also, it depends on how often you're running, what surfaces, if you're running on the treadmill every day, then obviously you're probably getting less wear and tear than if you're running on the trails, getting them all dirty and stuffing them up on rocks and stuff like that. So, I mean, I would say close to the, and sometimes people say, I'll just say you should get shoes depending how much you're running like two a year. If not more, if some people would wear the same shoes for three years, I'm like, you probably be, yeah. So you need to invest in that, put that on your, on your shopping lists for the holidays or whatever. But I mean, I'll, and I also do this where I don't wait for the one pair of shoes to kind of run out, especially if I, if I like a shoe and I'm especially to train for a marathon, I might be, I might have one pair of shoes for a couple of weeks. Speaker 2 (25:09): I'll get another pair of shoes and I'll start alternating them. Actually one gets cycled out because you kind of know, people often say, how do you know, well, your knees start hurting more. You shouldn't start hurting more and it's not an injury. It's just more of an achy soreness and that's usually stuff. And also I get much more motivated when I put new shoes on you kind of like, you're more anxious to get out there and you know, you do have to break them in sometimes depending on what type of shoe they are. And, you know, I would just jump in, in a marathon without breaking in those shoes. But I mean, I've heard, I would say two 50 or 300, I feel better about, but I've read and I've seen, you know, up to 400 to 500, which is a little higher than I liked, but depending on what type of running you are and how hard you are on the shoes and what surfaces you, you, you could last, but definitely I think, you know, more than one pair of shoes for sure for the year. Yeah. Speaker 1 (25:59): Great, great, excellent advice. And now before we start to kind of wrap things up, what I'd love to hear is maybe you have a new runner, right? Because the majority of people, like we said, let's be honest, are more recreation. Runners are not professional runners. They might be new to running, or they're running after a little bit of a break. So if you could give that runner who you've probably seen thousands of times what would your top three tips be for those new runners? Speaker 2 (26:34): I would say, give it have some patience. It's like, you know, again, even if your S your pace is too fast at first block and you're stopping, you know, I always said, like, it takes three or four weeks to kind of find a rhythm sometimes even longer. So just be patient slow down, make sure it's fun. Whether that's, you know, I love the running community here in New York. It's so vast. It's actually a card to keep track of all the things that are going on. And even if you're in a smaller city, it's usually like their local running store and there's, there's, you know, you go get a beer or coffee afterwards. It's a great community sport. Cause it's, there's a lot of, there's a lot less barriers involved in entering the sport and you can also be a Walker everyone's kind of invited to the party. Speaker 2 (27:13): So, so yeah, I would say, you know, give it time patients make it fun, make it community oriented. Although I do my best thinking and problem solving when I'm running by myself. So definitely, you know, you don't always have to make it about a group training, but that's something that I think it's a great way, appreciate and meet new people in a new city and then take care of yourself. I think don't ignore the things that bother you get good shoes. I mean, my number one, when people are injured, come to me, they often come to me almost too late where it's, so their pain is so bad and their Shannon or their knee, Speaker 1 (27:45): Then they're thinking I should get a coach. Like that's the impetus for them to get a coach. Speaker 2 (27:49): So you're like, you know, take care of yourself. And to be honest, this might be a good segue for what we're talking about, because my first line of defense is go see a massage therapist because massage throughout my running career is like, you know, you go to a doctor and they say, it hurts when I run, they're going to say, don't, don't run. It's like my mom said back in the day, mama hurts when I do this. Okay, don't do that. That's kind of, that's often, but some doctors will say like, Oh, that's bothering. You just don't do it. Well, we want to do it. We want to be active. We want to keep doing it. So taking care of yourself is really important. And there's a lot of little things like massage and stretching, eating, right. And all of these things that are small things that really add up to bigger gains. And it's, it's fun to, to improve at it. You know, I mean, I'm never going to run a PR again because I ran faster than my youth, but I have, I have to make up goals now, like fastest mile as a dad. You know, whatever. So if these are all things that I have to kind of reinvent to kind of give me the motivation to get out there, but the self hair, the self-care piece is super important and often neglected. Speaker 1 (28:52): Yeah. And that self care involves sleep, recovery, nutrition. I think the massage, and like I said earlier, we're both on the Waterpik water for wellness council. And one of the, a couple of things that they're, and again, power pulse, therapeutic strength, massage, shower, head a couple of things that they have actually been shown that clinically shown to provide, like to help soothe muscle tension, to increase flexibility and to improve restful sleep. So the way I look at it as a PT, and I'm sure you may say the same as a run coach. Like we like to keep the risk continuum a little bit more on the reward side and a little less on the risk. Right. So if you can recommend things for people that have less risk and more reward, great. And if you can recommend things to people that are economical. Great. And I think that that's where that the power pulse massage shower kind of comes in along with, like you said, seeing massage therapists one of the things that I'm so glad that you mentioned is about the community oriented part of running. Cause I think a lot of people think that if you're running, you're just running on your own. Speaker 2 (30:21): Right. And then that's been the biggest challenge for me. It's just my own running is I've actually, I've been running 60. I usually run five or six days a week and it's done a lot of mileage cause it's, you know, being a dad and, you know, jogging stroller and whatnot. But I was running the same amount of times per week, but I was running and say 30 miles a week. And then I was running like 20 and I'm like, how am I running less? You know, I have more time to one degree. And I wasn't like, I would actually often rely on, especially for longer runs is to go to prospect park, which is very well trafficked with runners. And I know a lot of runners, so I, I usually run into people. I know. And then we go, we can, we run a mile or two or add on, and I didn't have that because everyone was running alone or, and so I was like, Oh, I'm not getting that extra motivation or, Hey, Hey, Karen run into Karen and we do an extra three miles because we're talking way and catching up. Speaker 2 (31:07): And so that's something that the community piece to that my mileage is that definitely I mean, I since realized that and, and try to pay attention to doing a little bit more, but I'm like, how am I running last? I'm still running six days a week. And that was the number one thing that I was different was I didn't have the buddies and I was running by myself all the time and that you weren't casually running into people and adding on. So but yeah, I think, and everyone says, you can run with people. It's just doing it safely. Yeah. Certain protocols. So it's just, and some of that was new in the beginning. And so, but there's definitely been a second kind of volt. Second, third, fourth, depending on who you talked to like many running boom, because gyms were closed and other things, so you have less, you know, nature get outside, walk run. So I guess a lot of more questions from new runners, especially neighbors because they're out there running and they knew, Oh, this guy runs on the block all the time and he must know something and all the questions that we went over already getting those. So it's you know, as far as silver linings to some of this stuff, that's going on. Speaker 1 (32:08): And now before we finish, I have one last question for you. And it's when I ask all of my guests. So knowing where you are now in your life and in your career, what advice would you give to your younger self? So maybe that 20 year old at the Olympic trials in 1996, what advice would you give to that kid? Speaker 2 (32:30): Yeah, well, I mean, back then running, talk about love. Hey, like it was so nerve wracking once I got the certain levels. And even that I ran the 800 meters, which is arguably one of the toughest events in track and field, they say the 400 hurdles experts today, the 400 hurdles and the 800 meters are the toughest. I think the 10,000 meters on the track is twenty-five laps. That that's hard puzzle to me because the hard I can't do it to cath on and heptathlon is all these different things. I think those are harder, but as far as the body and the body makeup that that event is kind of in between speed and endurance. And so but it, it just was so nerve wracking at the, at, when I got to that age, in that level, that running was and if I was running well and healthy, the world is great, but there was times where running was not so fun and I was sick or I was injured. Speaker 2 (33:21): And so I guess I would probably say, you know, it's tough to say, don't take yourself too seriously because I was training for the Olympics and it's really scary, really focused. But and actually, I, I, once I stopped competing, I actually took on a couple of years off where I don't even know how much I was running maybe once a week. And I definitely got out of the Cape. And I think when I was like maybe mid to early thirties, I got reengaged that there was a local team that needed some people to run for. And I kind of said, all right, I'll help out. And then I was kind of needed again, it felt somewhat relevant, but then the community of that as well, the peer pressure in a positive way got me into the fold. And I actually got, was able to get pretty fit again in my mid thirties. Speaker 2 (33:58): But it was one of those things where I did it to be really good. And then once that was no longer the goal, it was like, why do it, and sort of, it's a little bit of a gap there that, you know, probably mentally and physically, it was good to have because, you know, I get healthy and kind of cleared my head a little bit, but I wish I didn't take that long of a gap because there was only one reason to do it was to get fast, to win races, to make limpic teams. And as we all know now, and I know now is there's many reasons to run released best, you know, be competitive with yourself, you know, have be part of a community. See nature. Even though I started one of these things recently where I took a bunch of runners to to Ireland and I called it a run location and we spent four days and you actually can explore a lot of people. Speaker 2 (34:40): I coach where they're training for the marathon, we'll say, Oh, I can't, I can't run these two weeks. I'm going to be on vacation. I'm like, well, tell me more about this vacation. And it turns out that, like I had someone run on a cruise ship once and they actually sent me their GP. I'm like, there's probably a track on the, on the cruise trip. It's probably not that exciting, but don't say you have to take two weeks off. I would kind of like a little tough love there. And someone, I think of some woman sent me, she was going across the Atlantic to like Norway and her GPS was over the water, three 30 pace per mile. And it said she ran like 50 miles would showing around like 10. Oh. Because she was more like, not trying to get out of running. She was just like, Oh, I have to, I'm on vacation. Speaker 2 (35:19): I can't run. And I was like, you can make it a part of your everyday, regardless of where you go and you often can see more on foot then. So it's one of these things that would just I don't know, you can make it part of your life or it's not such this arduous thing and horrible thing. It, most of the time it could be pretty pleasant and fun. And I mean, I don't, I don't knock myself too much for being so serious about it, but I wish I didn't. I let myself off the hook a little bit and when I was younger and enjoyed it more and didn't take it so seriously all the time, even though there's reasons for that. Speaker 1 (35:50): Yeah. Oh, I think that's great. I think that's great advice to your younger self and John, where can people find you? What's your website? Where are you on social media? How can they get in touch? If they have questions they want to work with you, they want to learn more about Speaker 2 (36:02): The programs you have. Yeah. My, of a website is run camp and that's R U N K a M P. And I'm spelling incorrectly because my last name is Hunter camp with a K. Yeah. So nice play on words. Yeah. So run camp, you know, and you know, it's all things running, whether a training for a race or just getting fit or travel in this case, once we can travel again. And then my Facebook and Instagram is just John Hunter camp. My name's spelled so you can find me that way. And then email me a john@runcamp.com.

Darren Virassammy is the co-founder and COO of 34 Strong, comprised of a team that believes everyone deserves a great place to work and that any workplace can be great. A leading expert in the global employee engagement community, the 34 Strong team leverages the strengths-based approach to human development to create massive shifts within organizations, both culturally and on the bottom line. Darren and his team have created sustainable change in small micro-businesses, all the way up to large organizational teams at the FDA, Bank of America, and The California Department of Public Health. Recently, Darren has keynoted for Hitachi Global Women’s Conference, The Rotary World Peace Conference, The Professional Grounds Management Society, and Author Mike Michalowicz’ Profit Con. Darren’s 34 Strong business partner, Brandon Miller is the co-author (with his wife Analyn Miller) of a strengths-based parenting book titled Play to Their Strengths which was released in July of 2019.  Random fun facts about Darren: He is an electric bassist and closed down Profit Con 2018 by performing a solo bass guitar piece he composed titled Metamorphosis as a tribute to the journey of entrepreneurs. He holds a black belt in Kyokushin Karate, a 3rd degree brown belt in Aki-jujitsu and loves training in and teaching Martial arts. He enjoys daily cold showers, Wim Hof Breathing and regular cold water plunges. As a result, his wife and kids (and many on his team and others who find this out about him) think he is certifiably insane. In today’s conversation, Darren shares the essence to creating great workplaces and engaging teams. By fostering an environment where each person can play to their strengths, team members are more motivated, confident and can tangibly point to the value they bring to the organization. In turn, the organization benefits from greater synergy, increased creativity, motivation and productivity. Darren provides valuable insights into how you can apply this approach to any business and team, small or large. Key Takeaways Everyone deserves a great place to work and that any workplace can be great. Talents are defined as our natural patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that can be productively applied. In school we are conditioned to focus on our greatest areas of weakness rather than our strengths. We can focus on improving our weaknesses and get to a level of mediocrity. The real question is, what are we aiming for – mediocrity or excellence? Playing to our strengths includes owning where we shine and where we’re blind. When people are playing to their strengths, they are more energized, enthusiastic, and engaged. Over 65% of the US workforce is disengaged in some capacity. People want to be valued for being valuable. People are the lifeblood that flows through organizations. You can’t have a healthy organization with unhealthy lifeblood flowing through it. Culture is created every single day. One email, one phone call, one conversation at a time. Do you want to create culture by design or by accident? Either way, it’s going to happen. As a consultant you are not the change agent, you are the guide. The true measure of a leader is not what happens while they’re there, it’s what happens when they’re not. We often undervalue what we are a genius in because it is so easy. Yet that’s what people value in us. Celebrate your failures because they make you who you are. Own your mistakes and ask what you can learn from it.

Millions of people know about the "pay gap," or the average difference in wage earnings for men and women in the USA and throughout the world. Relatively few people know about the "equity gap," or the difference in ownership stake between men and women who work at early-stage companies. Emily Kramer, VP of Marketing at Carta, is trying to change that. On this episode of Marketing Trends, Emily talks about the data behind the equity gap and how to address it, driving startup growth, leadership lessons she has learned, how to succeed in a head of marketing role, and much more. Links: Full Notes & Quotes: http://bit.ly/2UbWMLu Emily's LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/emilykramer/ Emily's Twitter: twitter.com/emilykramer Carta: carta.com/ 5 Key Takeaways: - Everyone should know what questions to ask and how to negotiate when getting hired, especially women in tech. - "We're trying to help arm employees who haven't worked at tech companies to understand what's going on, and help level the playing field." - Emily Kramer - "We need women founders. We need women in earlier positions. We need women in engineering roles because that's where equity is created -- at the beginning." - Emily Kramer - During the hiring process, don't give your requirements because you may be below where they are coming in. Ask questions, and if they don't have a system, that should be a red flag. - "Calculate out what you think the possible exit scenarios are and how much you'd get in those situations to compare your multiple offers or what you had before in your previous role. Try to gather as much information possible." - Emily Kramer Bio: Emily Kramer has been building Carta's marketing team for the past year and a half as their VP of marketing. Emily joined Carta to help bring more diversity and transparency to the cap table. Prior to joining Carta, she has built and led marketing teams at Asana, Ticketfly, and Astro (acquired by Slack), and attended Tufts University and Harvard Business School.

Introduction If you ever tried going for your dreams you know that this is a treacherous path filled with many obstacles... Your friends, the family will try to stop you. The fear of failure will make you want to quit and there will be a problem after problem just piling away to infinity... Let me illustrate what I mean with a picture: This is a subject of Sam Ryter's newest book, Pico Blanco - White Peak: The Journey of a Boy Who Followed His Dreams. In Sam Ryter's own words: "Since he was a boy, twenty-year-old Pablo dreamed of standing on top of the greatest mountain in the country. The only problem: Everyone thought that he was crazy, stupid, or silly. He had everything. A beautiful girl who loved him, a family that cared for him, a peaceful life in a beautiful secluded village, and the pain and desire of creating something remarkable in his life. On a spring morning in 1892, the young man takes a chance and decides to leave. Despite the warnings of his family, fellow villagers, and fiancé, he sets off onto a dangerous journey to follow his dream. Very soon he realizes that life does not always play out as planned. And so, the circumstances, the road and the people he meets become his teachers. What he slowly discovers on his quest to the top is, that the greatest strength may not be in his muscles or intellect, but somewhere else. And that there would lie the power that could help him to accomplish all of his goals - even to get to the top of the 'greatest of all mountains." Anyone who dares to dream big will find himself climbing that metaphorical mountain and will encounter similar types of challenges along the way. Should you shy away from those challenges? No! Those challenges are what will ultimately shape you into a person worthy of getting to the peak. And that transformation is the ULTIMATE reward. The sense of accomplishment that goes along with reaching the peak is in a sense the better than reaching the peak itself. The trick is in knowing what to expect ahead of time so it doesn't take you by surprise... But more about this in the podcast itself! About Sam Ryter Sam is a Swiss writer and author, currently living in Mexico. I love books that hide a deeper meaning between the lines. Stories have been used for millenniums, in cultures around the world, to comfort, provoke thoughts, inspire and essentially to elevate consciousness. I believe in stories, and I believe that we all can find our own story within a book - if we dare to listen. It is, therefore, my wish that each reader of my books can take something from the stories onto their life-paths. If that's a different viewpoint to life, relief, inspiration, encouragement or just a feeling of gratitude. Key Takeaways - Everyone who dreams big will encounter resistance from every possible angle - Life of comfort and mediocrity will feel meaningless and empty if you heard the calling - The path to achieving your dreams is unpredictable: the only thing you can be sure of is that things will not go according to plan... and that's ok. - If you fail, all you have to do is dust yourself off and pick yourself up, learn the lesson and try again. - Finding mentors will save you lots of time and energy that would otherwise be wasted on making lots of mistakes that were already made by others.

Ever dreamt of starting a podcast? Curious if you could make a living doing it? Fei Wu is the creator and host of Feisworld Podcast, which celebrates the stories of unsung heroes and self-made artists. Her podcast attracts 50,000 downloads and listeners from 40 countries. In 2014, Fei launched FeisWorld Podcast, not knowing where the future would lead her. Starting out in her simple studio set up, she interviewed people who interested her, such as performing artists from Cirque du Soleil and Broadway, social service people, and the LGBTQ Community. Her audience quickly grew beyond friends and family and attracted people who wanted to work with Fei as a freelance marketer. In 2016, Fei left her lucrative job in advertising and built a company of her own, Feisworld LLC, to help others tell better stories, find more customers and create new revenue streams. As Fei points out, everyone has a story you just need to ask the right questions. In our conversation today, Fei shares her journey and discoveries along the way. Clear that success in podcasting is more than downloads or sponsorship dollars to her, Fei dispels common myths that get in the way of great people launching podcasts. Yes you can make a living podcasting, and, as Fei explains, you don't need to have millions of downloads to do it. A casual, open conversation between two podcast hosts, we hope this episode inspires and educates you to follow your dream and embrace the process. Key Takeaways Everyone has a story you just need to ask the right questions. Choose guests that you are curious to learn more about.   Define what success looks like for you, realizing that 40,000 downloads translates to approximately $250 in sponsorship dollars, and most sponsors are looking for a minimum of 100,000 downloads per month. So if you are gauging your podcast success on downloads or money, you will likely be disappointed. People won't listen just because you post an episode. You have to be willing to put yourself out there and share it with others. Think and plan strategically but the most important thing is to SHIP (launch). To find your confidence, refer back to your favorite show and listen/watch their first episode – compare where they started to where they are now. When you find yourself struggling with doubt or fatigue, remind yourself what it's all for.

Today's guest is THE Boss Mom, Dana Malstaff. Dana is a mother, author, business & content strategist, coach, podcaster, and blind spot reducer. Dana is the author of Boss Mom: The Ultimate Guide to Raising a Business & Nurturing Your Family Like a Pro, and Confessions of a Boss Mom, and the founder of the Boss Mom Movement. She serves Boss Moms who yearn for more time and less guilt when it comes to building their business and raising their family, by providing the tools they need to get more out of their content and business, without sacrificing their family goals. When she is not creating new courses or building new strategy tools for creative entrepreneurs, she can be found, chasing her two kids on the beach, or thinking of the next fun new family adventure. Join us to learn about creating a movement with Dana. 2:54 Dana Malstaff is here unscripted and has no idea what I, Tonya, am going to ask her. 4:00 Everyone knows the Boss Mom movement, have read their books, and you’ve seen a tremendous amount of growth in the last two years since it was started. You’re a genius for strategy, which is why I, Tonya, worked with you. 5:12 I’ve always known that I wanted big things – I want to be on the cover of a magazine. I don’t think I knew Boss Mom would be so big. I was mapping out the book and that’s how I stumbled upon it. I don’t suggest writing a book first. Launching with that is how it worked for me, it was something that I wanted to get out and it was something I wanted to get out. I did this from a strategic point – I knew how it linked to my business. I did have a few mindset issues around it, I had two websites at the beginning. Having the strategy of how it aligned with what I wanted to do was huge. And visibility of getting on podcasts. That’s what gave me visibility and got things ramped up. 8:52 The brand has gotten so solidified with who I am through the visibility. I’m a girl who likes to go big and the movement has grown and I think that has helped that I am so excited and passionate about the movement. The passion has helped the movement grow and change things faster. 11:46 I have a decal on the back of my computer and it’s the best $40 I’ve ever spent. It has helped me share the word with others. There is always someone who sees the decal, and when I talk about the business, people go tell others about my business. It’s important to talk about what you do. 13:55 The word movement can seem scary for people. We think we need to do it all ourselves, a movement is many, many parts and it’s lots of moving parts. You are the person who made the first few pushes. The Boss Mom movement is necessary for many others and there are people who will continue that and it will take a lot to stop the movement. 15:54 In the Boss Moms Facebook group, I’ve made a space where women can promote and collaborate as a think tank. You’ve got to think about what you’re creating with a Facebook group. We have a certain aspect to it and there are lots of moms who won’t resonate with Boss Mom, but I’ve created a culture that has details that people can latch on and take part in. 17:40 I have gone through overwhelm and we as humans are cyclical and I as a woman, I’m cyclical. I have a doubt at least once a week where I question what I’m doing. I just don’t know how to not do what I’m doing and because we don’t know how to do it any other way, and if I never questioned what I was doing, I would not be growing. The Matrix movie shows us that perfect isn’t great. It means we have a chance to decide what we want to pursue as we doubt. 20:09 I do live by assume positive intent. We’re in an interesting space where we are real with others. It’s also why we want to work with like money mindset coaches, because something leads to other things and words don’t always mean what we make them mean, but sometimes people just need to cancel and run because their kid got sick or something. We like discovering things about ourselves, but that also can mean that we’re scared of what we find and we need someone to walk along side us. 22:03 I’ve learned I need people. I’ve become so much clearer on how I get my energy. I need people to tell me I am doing a good job. I told my husband that we need to hug every day. I like retreats and being on podcasts because I like that interaction with people. I like being on my own discovery calls because I like to talk with people. 24:40 I don’t ever in my business want someone else to do my coaching or something for me. I recently did a podcast and I think it’s my responsibility and our responsibility to make more influencers. We should raise up and create more who can influence others. The coaching clients that I’ve had who are now influencers are a ripple effect of me and an extension of the work that I’ve done. The more that I raise others up, it always ends up benefiting both of us. 27:22 I was reading some leadership quotes from others for something we were doing and one I like was that leaders take more than their fair share of the blame and less of the acclaim. I don’t remember who said it, but I thought it was great. Of course, I want to be a Disney character and on the cover of a magazine, but I will take the blame if my team is wrong, we assess and then we move on and learn from it. 30:40 I am doing the Whole 30 Diet right now and I’m doing it because I want to expand my food choices. If I haven’t slept at night, then I wake up, play with my kids and figure out what I need to do to wake myself up whether that’s figuring out what I can move around to take a nap. It’s just not an option to be unhappy, mad, festering about something I can’t change. Assuming positive intent is something you have to practice every single day otherwise other people’s unintentional actions will bother you all the time. 34:22 What is making me happy right now: My kids are making me happy because my kids are being easier right now. I am also drawing out a funnel and that makes me really happy. The driver for me is that I need to get certain things done in my business to make this work and it’s great. I got a consulting CFO and I can see now profitability that I’ll have visibility of where I have grown and how that means I should be moving and what I can be doing to make the most sense financially.
