In today's episode of Lo On The Go, Lo Bosworth takes a misty walk through Madison Square Park with the multi-talented Cyrus Veyssi. From TikTok stardom to using humor as a tool for empowerment, Cyrus shares their journey of owning their narrative, challenging the gender binary, and why laughter — especially about yourself — is one of the most powerful forms of healing.Lo and Cyrus head to Alo studios for pilates, while they explore mental health, body acceptance, and rebuilding strength after setbacks. Cyrus opens up about balancing wellness with compassion, the importance of doing things at your own pace, and why embracing imperfection can actually unlock deeper confidence. Key Takeaways:1. Confidence is a practice, not a personality trait — it's a muscle you have to work on daily.2. Wellness isn't linear — healing and strength-building take time and self-compassion.3. Humor can be a powerful way to process trauma — but laughing at yourself is different than laughing at others.4. Social media can democratize storytelling — anyone can own their narrative, no permission needed.5. Health isn't always visible — true health and healing happen internally and can't always be ""seen"" externally. Chapters:00:00 – Meet Cyrus: Comedian, Creator, Change-maker02:01 – The Power of Walking and Movement for Mental Health04:21 – TikTok Fame, Organized Chaos, and Doing it for the Girls, Gays, and Theys08:01 – How Humor Helped Cyrus Find Empowerment12:01 – Pilates, Mental Fortitude, and Healing After Surgery17:01 – Building Confidence Like a Muscle22:31 – The Myth of Visual Health and Compassion for All Bodies28:01 – Funniest Things Learned on TikTok + Gen Z vs Millennials34:01 – Myth or Truth: Trauma, Pronouns, and Owning Your Identity42:01 – Final Reflections: Movement, Mindset, and Moving Forward

Send us a textWhat if the key to surviving an apocalypse lies in the quirks of our own mental disorders? Join us as we unpack the chaotic world of Bird Box with humor and curiosity! We kick things off by poking fun at the film's casting choices, including the unexpected appearance of Machine Gun Kelly, and share a few laughs over the realistic yet infuriating portrayal of characters in crisis. With Sandra Bullock at the helm, we explore whether her performance sank or swam amidst the madness of unseen monsters and bizarre plot twists, landing on a scene with mysterious drawings as a standout moment worth discussing.As we venture deeper into the concept of survival, a lively debate sparks around whether certain mental conditions might actually serve as a safeguard against the movie's menacing forces. We ponder complex questions about the nature of the entity and its psychological warfare tactics, exploring the fascinating idea that schizophrenia or bipolar disorder might offer an unexpected shield. Our conversation weaves through theories of control, manipulation, and mental resilience, dotted with cultural references and humorous banter about whether sociopaths are immune—or simply easy prey—for this apocalyptic nightmare.

With every season of sport, we witness various feats of greatness -- and getting to witness a true dynasty (and what it takes to get there) can be once in a generation.That's why I am super excited to share a fresh version of our previous conversation with the 2024 National Championship winning basketball coach, Dawn Staley.As you might know, this past Sunday, Dawn led South Carolina to their 3rd national championship in the past 7 years to top off a perfect, undefeated season. Dawn also rightfully earned the 2024 Naismith Coach of the Year Award. What a year.As if that wasn't enough, South Carolina also became the first team in the past 25 seasons to reach the Final Four (let alone go undefeated) without returning any starting players from last year – an amazing testament to Dawn's leadership, and the culture she has built.When you listen to this conversation from 2021, it will be no surprise to you how - and why - she is considered one of the best to ever do it.I think we all have a lot to learn from Dawn's insights – like the qualities needed to build resilience; how to develop psychological agility in the face of adversity; and why relationships are at the center of her coaching philosophy.I hope you enjoy this incredible conversation with 3-time National Champ, 3-time Olympic gold medalist, Hall of Famer, and your 2024 coach of the year, Dawn Staley.With Fire,MG______Connect with us on our Instagram.Order my book, "The First Rule of Mastery" HERE!For more information and shownotes from every episode, head to findingmastery.com.To check out our exclusive sponsor deals and discounts CLICK HERESee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's podcast features Austin Jochum. Austin is the owner of Jochum Strength and is a strong proponent of athlete centered, play based, robust physical training. Austin was a former D3 All-American football player and a hammer thrower (MIAC weight throw champion) at the University of St.Thomas. Austin has been a multi-time guest on the podcast, and every conversation with him has been both enjoyable and enlightening. Much of sport coaching and training today takes place in a “fractured” version of ultimate training and performance. The balance point of training is shifted heavily towards “perfect technique”, drill work, and high output, low variability practices that reduce the movement solution potential of the athlete. This mentality feeds into sports performance, where singular physical markers (especially maximal strength) tend to be accelerated as fast as possible, rather than tending the patient, purposeful growth of the entire athletic library of skills and physical abilities. On today's episode, Austin gives his take on the foundations of athlete-centered development model that prioritizes joy, the learning process, and long-term development. We discuss the role of play and exploration in achieving both one's ultimate athletic performance, as well as enjoyment of the process. Austin goes into his take on games as a pre-cursor to prescriptive training measures, highlights the importance of confidence and emotional aspects of training, and much more.

And that is the complexity model that you were talking about. It's like hop on the (rock climbing) wall instead of just doing more pull ups with more weight. You're going to have to continually add so much more stress (in pull ups) to get the same level of stimulus that you could just do climbing a wall because there is so much going on there.." - Austin Jochum "We're just prescribing strength, we're just prescribing hypertrophy, whatever it is. We're just throwing that out there. Use the play to drive the prescription. What do they need? What are we finding out when they are playing? What do we see? Then you go prescribed”.- Austin Jochum "So, in fourth grade, we had an under the lights football game, and me and my buddy Luke, we scored a touchdown in that game, and it was the only touchdown scored in that game, and we were the only two to end up playing college football. And at that time, and never once were we the most athletic. Never once were we the highest. But in fourth grade, we scored a touchdown. He passed it to me. I caught the ball. We scored in fourth grade.
