Back in the can to talk about his continuing adventures in all things airsports, paragliding, and more, the one and only Jason Moledzki! Skydiving beginnings aren't always blue skies and sunshine as Jason Moledzki can tell you. Sometimes the drive to make that first jump can come from a truly dark place, but it was a place that Jason found the drive and determination to escape through his love of skydiving and BASE. A multiple world champion dozens of times over with world records and accomplishments in competition too long to list, he and his crew were a major driving force in the advancement not only of canopy piloting and its flight out of infancy, but in competition itself. As the co-founder and creative director of Flight-1, Jason has been instrumental in the complete overhaul of canopy instruction both in the civilian and military skydiving world with incredible student numbers going through their courses each year. on top of that, he is the co-creator/host of his own podcast called Trust the Journey with Melanie Curtis offering inspiration and insight along our journey deep within the Lunatic Fringe.

In this episode, Joe interviews Melanie Curtis: world record professional skydiver, keynote speaker, coach, co-host of the Trust the Journey podcast, and author of How to Fly: Life Lessons From a Professional Skydiver. Curtis shares her journey from taking her first transformative leap out of an airplane to becoming a leader in skydiving, public speaking, and now, the integration of psychedelics into personal growth. She discusses the parallels between skydiving and working with psychedelics – most notably in the idea of leaping into the unknown, trusting the universe, and in the potential that can be unlocked after you've come back down to earth. While relatively new to the psychedelic space, she stresses the importance of sharing your story and opening up dialogues, no matter how small you think your voice may be. She talks about: Her early psilocybin journeys and recent ayahuasca experiences How she came out of the psychedelic closet to her Mother, and learning of the power of small steps and trusting the universe Realizing how her Father's behavior affected her, and how it has made her more connected to her femininity and other women The power of confidence and how much better we'd all be if the fear of humiliation wasn't so prominent in our lives and more!

What if the truth is that when we take time to have our feelings of hurt and loss first (before we get back on the horse) that we actually become more whole and complete and even stronger for it? Coach and Skydiver Melanie Curtis talked about the power of healing and her book " With Our Whole Broken Hearts" in this episode of Rich in Relationship.

In both the fields of trauma and addiction you hear the word "codependency" banded around a lot - but what is it? At its very essence, codependency is about the adapted part of us running the show.

Thill Seekers..15 Remarkable Women in Extreme Sports written by Ann McCallum Staats is a book full of adventure and fascinating stories! For myself, the topic of extreme sports has always been very interesting for me to learn about. This collection of stories introduces readers to diverse and passionate women who are passionate about sports such as wingsuit flying, skateboarding, cave diving and race car driving.  The book is organized into five sections which include Maximum Sky, Extreme Ocean, Radical Rides, Epic Ice and Snow and Adrenaline Earth. Within each story include a short biography of the featured person, facts about the specific sports and ways to learn more (e.g. social media accounts including youtube).  This book is ideal for both home and the classroom.

“Fun and excellence are not mutually exclusive,” says Melanie Curtis, who grew up with a pilot father and sky diving hanger and “drop zone" in her back yard but did not take her first jump out of an airplane until she was 18. “I believe love and hilarity are the two most important things in life. When doing deep work, we can hold space for each other and bring lightness and humor into the work as well.” Curtis, who competed professionally, believes that people can use physical bravery as a “stepping stone into emotional bravery” or it can be an avoidance tactic. She also believes teammates and learning helps us transverse “fear and feeling paralyzed.” Find out more about her at www.TrustTheJourney.today or mel@melaniecurtis.com

Casual fans come and go. But converts stick with you — and spread the word. The trick is knowing how — and WHEN — to convert skeptics into super-fans. No one knows this better than Peloton co-founder and CEO John Foley, who has one of the most epic “No-to-Yes” stories in startup history. When he founded the company in 2012, skeptics abounded — especially among investors. But John pushed forward, convincing co-founders, angel investors, and then riders, one at a time. As he converted those skeptical customers — in their flagship fitness studio, in their stores, and on their at-home bikes — the feedback loops kicked in. After pedaling in place for years, Peloton rocketed up the hill to its 2019 IPO. Cameo appearances: Melanie Curtis (professional skydiver).Read a transcript of this episode: https://mastersofscale.com/john-foley/Subscribe to the Masters of Scale weekly newsletter at http://eepurl.com/dlirtX

Just about as all around positive as they come. Professional Skydiver, writer, life coach, "Ball of Light"...  I had to ask, just how does Melanie Curtis manage to stay so positive and upbeat all the time? The answers may not surprise, but they will most certainly inform. As a member of a new skydiving demo team designed to raise awareness and highlight women in our sport, she's all about making positive change! We go pretty deep on this one to be sure, so...  For those that are looking for just light hearted and want to avoid some of the topics of the day, well, this may be a bit more in depth than you're expecting, but I got the chance to really talk straight with Melanie about the world we're living in, the sport we love, and all the reasons why for good or bad, we love the Lunatic Fringe.

Melanie Curtis - Take a leap as I speak with Melanie Curtis - Speaker, Coach, Author and Professional Skydiver. Melanie helps high-achievers through fear and the feelings that come with it. She helps them build the internal emotional skills Type A perfectionists so often find they don't have when life serves up a challenge they can't seem to figure out a way through. "When we give ourselves evidence that we can do a thing that we thought we could not do, then our fear dissipates. Our confidence rises in that experience." Melanie is super inspiring, funny and down to earth. We talk about her journey from finance to skydiving to life coach and how she's used fear and bravery to move herself and her clients forward. We talk about how one question changed her life. And at the end of the podcast I'm going to let you know more about an amazing group she is working with to honor the 100-year anniversary of the 19th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution which gave women the right to vote. Hint, it involves empowering women and skydiving. Her mantra - Be brave. Rest. Repeat.

    Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike with Jay Moledzki: Podcast Show Notes   Welcome to Experiences You Should Have; Your how-to guide for amazing experiences. I had the pleasure of interviewing Jay Moledzki, who is a world-renowned skydiver and he hiked the Appalachian Trail. Jay is not your average guy. He is the most decorated competitive skydiving canopy (parachute) pilot in the sport of skydiving to date. He has 7 world championship skydiving titles, over 50 gold medals. He is a goal-oriented guy and someone I have looked up to for many years. Check out his profile on Flight-1.   Jay also hosts a podcast with life coach Melanie Curtis (who I interviewed about going on your first skydive) called Trust The Journey (dot) Today. Trust the Journey.Today podcast is all about living, laughing, loving, and learning together. Also, creating and cultivating conscious connections through the practice of openness, vulnerability, honesty, and trust. Check them out on iTunes, Google Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts.   Planning to Hike the Appalachian Trail: What Went Into Goal Setting and Planning Jay and his first wife, Fernanda, decided they would hike the Appalachian Trail together as a team. They wanted more adventure in their lives and wanted to pursue more scenery and get serious time outdoors. When they decided to hike the Appalachian Trail, Jay had his a point in his personal skydiving career that he felt he had checked the goals he wanted to accomplish. He was looking for a new goal that would be connected to nature, earthy and hiking the Appalachian Trail felt like the goal that he and Fernanda decided to set their eyes on and the enthusiasm was there.   It took 2 years of planning from the time they made the goal before they started the trail. They wanted to make sure they had the knowledge, equipment, and training to complete the trail. The attrition rate is high on the Appalachian Trail and not many people finish the trail who start.   They also wanted to understand why they wanted to hike the Appalachian trail. They started listing out the reasons why they wanted to do it and they wanted to set a goal of completing it and hike the Appalachian Trail the purist way by hiking the entire trail and doing it in one shot. Appalachian Trail Map Checklist to Mentally and Physically Prepare to Hike the Appalachian Trail Arm yourself with knowledge with books, websites. Ray Jardine is the godfather of Appalachian Trail Thru-Hiking and gives the Ultra-Light approach to Thru-Hiking. Check out his book Trail Life for a guide to Ultra Light Thru-Hiking. Find a mentor and talk to someone who has hiked the Appalachian Trail before Get in shape, physical fitness training is very important. Set a Goal and know in your mind before you start how far you want to go. Do a week-long hike before going on the AT with the equipment you plan on using to evaluate the weight, what you're bringing and seeing what it's like to do a hike by yourself. Hiking the Appalachian Trail: The Beginning On the first day, Jay and Fernanda were anxious. They started at Springer Mountain, about an hour away from Atlanta. About 3,000 people start the trail every year and the majority of them start at Springer Mountain. It was the first week of March (most people start the beginning of March to April). Most people do a northbound hike and follow the seasons. Their friend Annie dropped them off and they got their photographs by the sign.   Jay and Fernanda starting the Appalachian Trail What's interesting is that you don't start the trail until you have reached the top of Springer Mountain. It's a journey from the start just to get to the starting point. At the peak, there was a sign and nice ladies with clipboards who are rangers who kept track who was starting the trail.   They had planned to hike 8-10 miles a day in the beginning with the plan to ramp up over time to get to their tr...

A View Into the World of Skydiving Skydiving has always been near and dear to my heart. I have over 400 skydives and I started skydiving when I was 20 years old. My first time skydiving started in Lake Wales, Florida outside of Orlando. I will never forget being in the back of the Twin Otter strapped to my instructor and doing a backflip out of the plane. We saw earth, sky, earth, sky, earth, sky, then earth again. When I felt the wind at my face in freefall, I realized that skydiving was not so scary after all. I started smiling and laughing in freefall. Once we landed, I signed up to go for a 2nd tandem skydive. At the end of my 2nd tandem, and decided to hang out at the dropzone (skydiving center) longer. As people finished skydiving for the day, they went over to a fire pit. Skydivers gathered around the fire and started telling adventure stories and their 'oh sh&*% moments'. As I sat there listening to the crackling fire and the skydiving adventure stories, I realized I had found a special group of people. One by one the skydivers left the fire and started to retreat into their tents and trailers at the dropzone. I saw that these skydivers lived there. I had found a community... an adventure community and I realized I wanted to be one of them, and so I did. I learned to skydive (which didn't come naturally). I'll save my learning to skydive story for another day, but it's a good one, I promise. Gail's first time skydiving in Lake Wales, Florida That's the start of my story, but I wanted to bring someone I highly respect in the skydiving world on the show to talk about her first time skydiving, Melanie Curtis. World-Renowned Skydiver, Melanie Curtis   Melanie Curtis and Jason Moleski, professional and world-renowned skydivers started a new podcast called Trust the Journey. I thought bringing Melanie onto the show would be a great idea because she is a life coach and helps people overcome fear and employ courage. She helps others have a mindset shift between what we are capable of doing and what is possible. Melanie has been skydiving for 23 years and her first skydive still motivates her and essentially changed her for the better. Melanie also runs a group called the VSC (virtual skydiving coach) which helps new skydivers entering the sport. Melanie Curtis's First Time Skydiving Melanie was 18 years old when she went on her first skydive. Aviation was in her family since she was alive. Her dad was a pilot and had an airport at her house (a grass strip by her house). Her dad opened a skydive at the house with his best friend that was in upstate New York. Their dropzone is no longer in operation but it was called Verona Skydiving Center back in the day. Melanie sat in on the first jump course many times growing up because she grew up around the dropzone. She was so scared to go for the first time and could have jumped when she was 16 (today you need to be 18 to go skydiving in the US), but she took her time to go on her first skydive. One day after Melanie graduated from high school she decided she would go skydiving the very next day. She told herself that, "tomorrow is the day". The next day she entered her first jump course for her first static line jump and had the intention of making her first skydive after the ground course. She was afraid, but her courage exceeded her fear and she went to that first jump course with the intention of making her first skydive. The Day Came for Melanie to Jump Most people who go for their first skydive go on a tandem skydive (which is highly recommended). Melanie did her first skydive 18 years ago and her first skydive was static line and she wasn't attached to an instructor. Melanie made her first skydive out of a small Cessna. Melanie was sitting behind the pilot's (her dad) seat facing the tail of the plane, next to the door. They were flying on jump run which is the height where they would exit the airplane. It was time to open the door,

Kari interviews him this week about transcendental meditation, mindfulness, SAD, and much more! Pleate note: Always consult your physician. The following interview is not intended to replace the advice of your physician or medical care provider. Rosenthal is currently Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Georgetown University School of Medicine and is listed as one of the best doctors in America. He is a highly cited researcher who has written over 200 scholarly articles, and authored or co-authored eight popular books. These include Winter Blues, the New York Times bestseller Transcendence: Healing and Transformation Through Transcendental Meditation, and the Los Angeles Times bestseller The Gift of Adversity.

He talks a bit about the signs/symptoms of SAD versus when you have the “winter blues.” When meditating, you get fluxes of alpha waves, especially in the frontal areas of the brain, that are soothing. Rosenthal talks about brain coherence, which means different parts of the brain experience the same wavelengths at the same time. This is associated with the brain collaborating and being more efficient. He explains the difference between mindfulness and medita Kari talks about the “Jon Kabat-Zinn” way of meditation and Deepak Chopra and Oprah's meditation class.

Rosenthal points out two particular chapters: Meditate and Grow Rich and Meditate and Grow Happy. Kari mentions one story in Transcendence: Healing and Transformation Through Transcendental Meditation with Ray Dalio. They discuss sleep and transcendental meditation.

Serena Marie, RD Serena Marie, RD, talks about the nutritional benefits of eating potato skins (no, not the appetizer!). The benefit to eating potato skins is the fiber that they contain. They are mostly a source of insoluble fiber. Serena reviews the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber. She also defines what a “standard American diet” looks like. When transitioning from a standard American diet to a more nutrient-rich diet, many people have issues increasing their fiber intake. As you increase vegetables, steam them or chop them up finely to break down the cellulose/fiber to help digest them with less intolerance. Gratitude Jar (Woot! Woot!)

Melanie Curtis is a life coach, author, and location independent entrepreneur. She started as a corporate American, turned professional skydiver, turned life coach, fear consultant, and mobile-entrepreneur expert. Her 10,000 jumps out of a plane were not interesting enough so she decided to stop that and start her own consulting business while doing a world tour. In this episode we talk about her transfer from being a famous professional skydiver into a life coaching business. After having started this for some years she decided to quit the skydiving and then do a many month world tour. During this time she was able to run her business as well as gain the wisdom from being abroad. We also talk about what it means to be a life coach as well as what they do. We discuss her qualifications and how she got accredited in this field. We then do a bit of a life coaching session to discuss my issues with my fear of speaking German.

Melanie Curtis has taken her professional sky-diving career and parlayed it into working with life-coaching clients who are willing to go deep to find what’s holding them back and to clear them from the shackles of limiting beliefs making way for the excellence they want in life where they didn't even know it existed.

Melanie Curtis, a life coach, sky diving coach, and world traveler, shares with us how running around the world has opened up opportunities in her life. The Runner Dad, Matt Orlando, discusses what running has done for him spiritually, mentally, and physically in addition to how it's given him the ability to connect with famous runners. Serena Marie, RD, discusses whether you need to eat breakfast every day.
