The Power of Pessimism - COVID-19 Survival with Lucas Rockwood ----- What if this COVID-19 crisis lasts another six months? Or another two years? Our work and lifestyles are being radically redefined, and most people are taking a “wait and see' approach, doubling down on Netflix, and waiting for big pharma to fix this mess. Maybe it'll work. Maybe it's almost over. Or maybe, this is just the start of a whole new future we can't even fully comprehend yet. Human psychology is such that fear and pain incite personal growth more than pleasure or optimism. With that in mind, what if we all game-out the worst case scenarios. Let's assume for the sake of this exercise that this crisis will last one or two years more, and let's use this uncertainty as a forcing factor for changes that would otherwise take five or ten years to manifest. On this week's podcast, we'll explore the power of pessimism, the importance of focus, and how to find the signal through the noise during these challenging times. Listen & Learn: Why “Defensive Pessimism” can set you up for a win during crisis times Why a “smile or die” outlook can be personally and professional dangerous How to embrace change and embrace loss How to focus on health, wealth, relationships during this time Links & References: The Power of Negative Thinking Defensive Pessimism The Happy Pessimist ABOUT OUR GUEST Lucas Rockwood is a yoga trainer, writer, and keynote speaker.

There are only two ways to effectively grow your law firm, and only one of them create value to the partners:Lateral hires: recruiting partners from other firmsWord of Mouth MarketingData shows that lateral hires are a difficult long-term strategy for growing your firm. 83% of mergers don’t increase shareholder value, and, 47% of laterals don’t make it five years with their new firm, which is usually about the length of time needed for a lateral hire to cross over the recruiting and compensation-above-contribution line into positive territory.By contrast, word of mouth is a far better long term strategy because it focuses on amplifying the effect of your word of mouth through your audience that you own and control.Links/References mentioned in this episode:47% of lateral hires don’t make it five years with their new firm: https://www.boomtime.com/there-are-only-two-ways-to-grow-your-law-firm/83% of mergers don’t increase shareholder value: https://www.forbes.com/sites/georgebradt/2015/01/27/83-mergers-fail-leverage-a-100-day-value-acceleration-plan-for-success-instead/#63cbca905b86Have a marketing question you want answered?

There are not enough words to express the fullness of Lindsay Alive’s being. She is a master coach in the transformational leadership sphere, working with elite leaders in businesses around the globe. Lindsay is strong, she is powerful, she is successful … and she is also vulnerable, raw, and full of shadows that she’s not afraid to share. Join this conversation as Anjalé and Lindsay talk about a wide range of topics: how joy and play are the most powerful access points into a “flow” state of being, the bridge between academia the so-called woo-woo of the spiritual world, self-care as the fuel for creative output, following your passion with surrender, and leaping into the unknown. Lindsay’s journey has taken her from the corporate world to the relocation of her family to a surf town in Costa Rica where she lives out her self-declared mission on the planet to share love. We all have so much to learn from each other when we come to the table with open hearts and vulnerable surrender. This episode embodies both of these, tapping into the core of what it truly means to invite our humanness to the table and live a life that is Alive + Awake.

SEO has changed considerably over the last 20 years since Larry Page and Sergey Brin first came out with weighted rankings. There was a time when in investing time and money into figuring out to fool PageRank, formerly the primary driver of Google’s search algorithm paid off, but those days have long since past. Today, the goal of Google’s codebase is to give users the best search results possible. It’s no longer a war of who spends the most money on SEO, rather, it’s about who does the best job creating great content and taking care of their customers.

If you’re a B2B trying to spread word of mouth about your business, LinkedIn is a proverbial gold mine with 61M senior level influencers and 40M users in decision making positions. Your goal is to grow your network of professionals, but, before you start sending out connection requests, you first need to understand who it is you are targeting, and optimize your profile to attract that audience and increase your rate of connections.

When you hear the phrase ‘word of mouth’ you probably think of a naturally occurring instance where people are talking about or referring to a person, place, product, etc. Word of mouth marketing takes the work you’ve done building your brand, creating products, and treating your consumer well, and amplifies it. The key is knowing who your audience is, giving them great content and sharing your expert insights with them, and continuously growing your audience to increase your referrals.

I was born and raised on the south side of Chicago in the Roseland community. It was a tough environment. I witnessed things a child should not have to experience. Fortunately, my family did not allow me to become a victim of my circumstances. I was one of few from my community to graduate high school and college, and to live my dream of being a pro basketball player, having experienced over 5 countries at 28 years old. Outside of my passion for basketball, I always wanted to own a business, but I also knew that I wanted to provide a service where I give back to those who come from communities such as the one I grew up in. I was fortunate to earn an athletic scholarship, but with 11 brothers and sisters, it was tough putting everyone through college. While playing in Lithuania, I developed the concept for YouthKinect. There are too many kids with the physical talent and academic abilities, but are simply unaware of the resources available to them. In my heart, I strongly believe that if and when YouthKinect goes viral, it will help a lot of kids and will improve our communities in Chicago and across the USA.

In almost every yoga class, the teacher will emphasize the importance of breath—but what does that really mean and why does it matter? If you ask, you'll likely hear that you're adding oxygen to your blood or improving your circulation. But is that true? It turns out that most yoga breathing actually reduces oxygen in the blood and increases CO2. To add to this paradox, more CO2 is actually a good thing and results in more oxygen to the cells. On this week's Yoga Talk Show, you'll learn how and why. ------------ Listen & Learn: Why C02 is actually your friend How C02 relaxes muscle tissue (great for stretching) Why nose breathing encourages diaphragmatic breathing, increases NO2, and arterial oxygen uptake How reduced breathing increased saliva in the mouth, a sign of parasympathetic nervous system dominance and higher CO2 Why 30% of population has Rhinitis and how reduced breathing can help How reduced breathing impacts your spleen (yes, your spleen!) ABOUT OUR GUEST Patrick completed his clinical training in the Buteyko Breathing Method at the Buteyko Clinic, Moscow, Russia, a training accredited by Professor Konstantin Buteyko himself. Patrick suffered from asthma as a kid and discovered the Buteyko Method at the age of 26 and has been asthma-free since then, a feat that over 20 years of medication had failed to accomplish. In a career spanning 15 years, Patrick has since also become a bestselling author and expert on the topic of optimal breathing for improved health, well-being and fitness.

Advanced yoga students come in all shapes and sizes around the world, but the one thing they all share in common is a commitment to self-practice. In order to achieve mastery at any skill whether yoga or chess, at-home study is a must; but the problem is that most students struggle with motivation and follow-through. There are more video classes, practice tips and tools than ever before in history, and yet at-home practice is just as challenging as ever. So what do you do? In this week's Yoga Talk Show, Lucas shares his personal tips and tricks for taking yoga from a “here and there” practice to a total lifestyle shift. He'll give you simple strategies for integrating your practice in all aspects of your life, from morning to night. ------------ Listen & Learn: Why morning or evening are usually the best “practice times” Why 30-minutes per day might make more sense than an hour How to bookend your day with breathing Simple online tools for accountability, community and support Nutritional Tip of the Week: Intermittent Fasting - should you give it a go?

It's estimated that 80% of the population will suffer from back pain at some point in their life—and most people are left frustrated and confused about how to actually heal. Should you take medications? Get physical therapy? See a chiropractor? On this week's Yoga Talk Show, you'll meet "Spondy" researcher, Justin Adkins. Spondylolisthesis is a serious spinal injury where a vertebra shifts forward causing pain, inflammation, and often radiating nerve problems.

Our modern life encourages weakness, tightness, and imbalanced tissues of the pelvic floor, and the side effects can be life-altering and detrimental to your health.

Many yoga teachers will tell you that their class is for everyone - all sizes, ages, backgrounds, and genders - and yet the actual students that turn up to class tell a different story. They tend to be a very similar group of people. In most parts of the world, women represent 70-90% of the yoga communities, and this puts off some men from staring, and it's frustrating to some men who love the practice. Where are all the guys in yoga? In this week's Yoga Talk Show we address the somewhat controversial topic of gender and fitness preferences. -------- About the Guest Dean Pohlman founded Man Flow Yoga in college in order to promote yoga with guys. After experiencing huge benefits himself from yoga, he wanted to make the practice more accessible to men, athletes, and physical fitness-minded individuals. Dean took out the Sanskrit and the meditation and inserted terminology that is familiar to people with sports backgrounds. Instead of focusing on the more spiritual side of yoga, he focuses entirely on the physical aspects. --------- Listen & Learn: How masculine people often prefer solo practice and feminine people often prefer group classes Why removing religious and spiritual undertones from yoga classes might be the best way to show respect for diversity How athletes can benefit from yoga and how yoga students can benefit from athleticism Why the future of yoga needs to be more inclusive Nutritional Tip of the Week: Eating Essential Oils?

On this week's Yoga Talk Show, you'll learn about simple self-care techniques that can make a huge difference in your health. ------------ About the Guest Brendan won World and National Collegiate powerlifting championships during his studies and went on to attain his Corrective Exercise Specialty from The National Academy of Sports Medicine.

Yoga students invest hours on functional flexibility, strength, and mobility, but the moment they leave the studio, most lace up restrictive footwear. Modern shoes squish your toes, damage your arches, and contribute to dysfunctional movement patterns leading to chronic pain and injury upstream including: knee pain, back and hip pain. The solution? You need to learn about minimal shoes. On this week's Yoga Talk Show, Lucas meets with Steve Perna of Lems Shoes, a niche manufacturer and innovator in the minimal footwear scene to learn about the why and the how behind this type of shoe.

Write to us podcast@yogabody.com Thanks to our sponsor: Hurts So Good Massage Balls Hurts So Good Massage Balls allow you to release tension, break up sliding surface dysfunctions, and improve circulation in and around your muscles and tendons, ligaments, and fascia. In our modern lives, our movement patterns tend to be very habitual. We sit, stand, drive, and walk; but we often lack the dynamic range of motion that our bodies are designed for. And the result? You end up stiff and sore… I'm a huge fan of all types of bodywork including massage, acupuncture, and chiropractic care; but realistically, this is not something you can do every day or even every week. Due financial and time limitations, most people can only meet one-on-one with a body worker a few times per year, and that's rarely enough to really affect change. The solution? Self-massage.

Most people claim “happiness” is one of their top priorities in life, but how many of us really take time to define what that means? Is it free time? Is it friends and family? Is it financial success? Humans have evolved with a brain hard-wired to avoid danger and threats to our personal safety above all else, but that is not the ideal mental model for a fulfilled life most would define as happy. For many people, their ideal of happiness goes against much of their hard-wired tendencies, so to achieve it, it requires serious thought, hard work, and deliberate lifestyle design. On this week's Yoga Talk Show, author, Raj Raghunathan, shares his research, teaching, and writing around happiness based on his career. Raj is an award-winning Professor of Marketing at the McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas in Austin. Raj's work has appeared in leading marketing journals, and has been cited in several mass media outlets, including The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Austin American Statesman, The Houston Chronicle, and Self Magazine. He is the author of a new book titled, “If You Are So Smart, Why Aren't You Happy?” ----------------------------- Listen & Learn: Why "what you're missing out on" might be causing unhappiness Why it's important to define happiness Why happiness is to be lighthearted but not at the cost of being cruel and a state of harmony (right now is good) Why you must prioritize happiness, go on a news fast, and a nature feast Why you should develop a spiritual attitude (that life is aligned, not benign or maligned) How default negativity can cause people to note dangers, and it's easy to get lost in this Yoga Practice Tip of the Week: Grip Strength - how to deal with wrist pain?

You know you should sleep 7 to 8 hours per night, but do you really sleep that much? And when you do, is the quality of your sleep any good? Modern life makes pillow-time a huge challenge. Your cell phone on the nightstand emits blue light and EMF, your high glucose dessert after dinner leaves your hormones out of whack, and that glass of red wine you use to initially fall asleep will eventually backfire and keep you from achieving deep, restful sleep. With the best possible intentions, our sleep hygiene is often a mess. On this week's, Yoga Talk Show, Dr. Raj Dasgupta will help you learn how to improve both the quality and quantity of your sleep. You'll learn about common “sleep killers” in your lifestyle and environment, and the small action steps you can take to improve your sleep hygiene immediately.

Sad but true: something as ubiquitous as your morning toast could cause short term brain fog and contribute (or even cause) neurological diseases long term. On this week's Yoga Talk Show, you'll meet filmmaker, Max Lugavere, who is leading an awareness campaign to connect the dots between bread and cognitive decline. Initially motivated by the neurological challenges of his mother, Lugavere will shed new light on “sandwich culture” and why we need to rethink this all-American staple in our diets. Lugavere is an American television personality, producer, filmmaker, and musician.

When you experience happiness, your brain releases dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and/or endorphin. The curious things is that our brain doesn't release a happy chemical without very particular (and often counter-intuitive) triggers.

Write to us: podcast@yogabody.com Thanks to our sponsor: SweatHouse Patty Post, is a yogi from Minnesota and the creative mind behind Sweathouse. Aside from their colorful yoga towels, Patty created “the Saucha Spray”, a anti-funk spray because she was sick of her yoga clothes smelling just after a few months after purchasing them. She realized that her sweat, and habit of washing her yoga clothes hours; sometimes even days after practicing was causing the funk. The bacteria in our sweat sets into fabric just 2 hours after sweating and once it's in it's really hard to get out. So she created a formula that prevents the funk from setting in, spray on fabric after sweating to keep your clothes and gear smelling fresher, longer. She realized that it can be used on anything even hockey equipment, dance costumes! After you namaste, spray Saucha.

Yoga is unique and powerful as a mind-body fitness modality in that it can restore balance to the body's electrical system (aka your nervous system) - and breathing is the secret key that makes it all possible. In the same way that our breath changes very predictably during times of fear, sorrow, love, or rest, we can flip that equation around and change our breathing patterns in order to change our mood. Why then do psychiatrists prescribe drugs before using this age-old practice of balancing breath to treat mental health issues? To answer that question, Lucas is joined by Patricia Gerbarg MD who shares her years of research and on-the-ground training using breathing as therapy. Dr. Gerbarg reveals some of the current challenges in our modern world and in psychiatric medicine - and she'll share with you how she uses breath in her practice, often in lieu of traditional treatments like prescription drugs - and it's working! Dr. Patricia Gerbarg is a Harvard Medical School trained psychiatrist who practices Integrative Psychiatry, combining standard and complementary treatments. Her research focuses on mind-body practices for reducing the effects of stress and trauma, particularly in survivors of mass disasters. Along with Dr. Richard P. Brown, she has co-authored over 40 scientific articles, book chapters, and health books on complementary and integrative treatments. Her books include: The Rhodiola Revolution, How to use Herbs, Nutrients, and Yoga in Mental Health Care, Non-Drug Treatments for ADHD, and The Healing Power of the Breath. Listen & Learn: Why some breathing might cause manic reactions How the body-mind is more accurate than mind-body since 80% of the vagus nerve fibers are carrying signals from the body to brain, and just 20% brain to body Why most people breathe at 12-15 breaths/min but should aim for “coherent breath” at around 5 per min Why some breathing can make you zoned-out and spacey while others can amp you up How balance is usually the most useful aim and type of response to strive for Nutritional Tip of the Week: Chickpeas: friend or foe?
