135 | Darin Olien Shares How He Started a Superfood Empire How much energy do you have to spend on your work? Darin Olien is the co-founder of Barùkas, a new good for you, good for the planet superfood nut company and well-known global “superfood hunter". Darin is best known for developing an ongoing formulation for a fitness company, Beachbody’s, wildly successful whole-food supplement, Shakeology, narrating his experience in his book Superlife: The 5 Forces That Will Make You healthy, Fit & Eternally Awesome. Darin is based in Malibu, California, and is currently working on a new docuseries for Netflix about healthy foods around the world launching later this year. Energy is currency, and we have only so much energy to spend. So what are you spending your energy on? And how are you investing that energy? It’s easy to think that money is our primary currency, but the reality is that money is just a byproduct of how we spend our energy. When FITzee Foods was open, I spent so much energy on my business. I spent time talking to investors, helping create new products, and taking care of the everyday activities that go into running a business. Choosing to focus my energy on increasing top line revenue was an investment I chose to make: that was an investment that paid off as our top line revenue increased! We only get so much energy, and have to invest it wisely. Everything that we choose to do takes energy, and you’d be surprised at how quickly you can run out of energy when you are not investing in the best things for your business and your own growth. This week’s guest on Success Unfiltered, Darin Olien, was dubbed the superfood hunter. He was so passionate about finding unknown superfoods, that Beachbody approached him to put together the original formula for Shakeology! His unique passion did not come without a price: Darin had to learn how to say NO to the fears of others and pursue his dream of making the world a more superfood-filled place! If you’re feeling held back by the fears of others (especially your family!), you’re going to be inspired by Darin’s story. You won’t want to miss this week’s episode of Success Unfiltered!

Darin shares how he became the superfood hunter. Beachbody actually approached Darin and asked him to help formulate a superfood shake for their program. Darin said YES to Beachbody: but it took two years to develop the formula. In 10 years, it has grown to be a $3.5 Billion dollar product. The most crushing NO from Darin came from family and friends urging him not to pursue his passion for superfood, and traveling the globe to find and discover superfoods. Fear led to his family telling Darin that he should say NO to his dreams. When Darin really dug into that fear, he found that what made his family say NO was exactly what he should say YES to! Recognizing the fears and priorities of his family helped Darin see what drove him, and how he was different from others. Darin decided that he was going to say NO to the opinions of others and follow his convictions. In fact, the more that he heard NO, the more strong Darin’s drive became! He was saving his currency (energy) for what really mattered to him. Now, when Darin shares about his business and what he is doing, he is very intentional what he shares, and who he shares with. That means that often, he doesn’t share about his trips until after he returns. Remember, when people tell you NO, you shouldn’t do something, it is often because they are projecting their own fears on you. Darin has advice for when people tell you NO: “Don't respond, don't defend, don't spend energy defending yourself. You and you alone know the reasons for why you're doing it and and that is the anchor of all of it.” ~ Darin Olien Learn to love rejection and NO’s: they help you learn and discover more about your passion and drive. NO makes you better! When you hear NO, work through it! Darin works through NO’s and rejections quietly first, and gets clarity before working with others. Darin shares the story of a potential partner undercutting the deal that he was working on, and how he had to process that NO! It would have impacted the entire business he was building. When Darin was quiet first, and dealt with that NO, he was able to work with others to find a solution. By working through NO’s quietly first, you are able to put yourself into a place of power. Darin shares what he would tell his younger self. Connect with Darin Olien: Website Facebook Instagram - Super Life Living Instagram - Barukas YouTube Do You Know When To Say NO?

Accepting The Unacceptable, Parenting Autism, Epilepsy, Special Needs
Depression is the peak of grieving and almost guaranteed at some point in the journey of special needs parenting. Depression affects all of us, and the reason why it's important to talk about it is that there are ways out of it. We don’t have to be depressed forever even though sometimes it feels like we will. What I have learned about depression, is that getting through it takes work. It's not something that just goes away. Getting to the acceptance stage of grieving is the most crucial stage. When we get to that stage, a whole new world opens up. A world of clarity and hope and peace and purpose. We start to see that whatever circumstance we are in, it can be a blessing instead of a curse. And I don’t know about you, but that is all I want. I want to live a life where I am happy, my family is happy no matter what our circumstances are. In this episode, I talk about 5 strategies that help with depression. They aren't necessarily a cure, but ways to help cope in a time where your mind is fragile. Be kind to yourself When you are going through a traumatic time, like being at your child's bedside in the hospital or getting through a significant diagnosis, its completely understandable that its hard. Instead of beating yourself up and having shame for how you are feeling, give yourself some compassion. Imagine you are looking at the little girl (or boy) version of yourself. What is it that that child needs to hear. That child still lives in you so be kind and be gentle. You are only human. Take care of your brain Your brain is an organ. Take care of it. If you are depressed, your brain is sick. It needs to be treated with the most care. Just like a person with heart disease should watch their sodium intake, a person suffering liver damage should stay away from alcohol, someone who is depressed needs to stay away from anything negative that can be removed. If you feel bad about yourself when you are scrolling through Instagram, shut it off. If you have a negative friend who drains you, take a break from them. If certain TV makes you feel sad, change the channel. All of those things are fine to a healthy brain but one that is depressed needs as much positive stimulation as possible Just say NO Don't take on any more responsibility than you need to. For me, I was used to always being the one who volunteered to throw a party or help out in school. When Remy was spending so much time having seizures, and it took all of our focus, I needed to drop anything that was essential. The things that I didn't drop, got so little of my attention, it only made me more stressed out that I couldn't show up the way I was used to. Just say NO Don't make any huge life decisions You know that move you always wanted to make across the state or that job you really wanted to take. You know how you always wanted another child, stop those conversations and don't move. Making decisions during times of crisis and depression only lead to more suffering and stress and overwhelm. Hold off on those big decisions unless they immediately alleviate something challenging. For example, if moving across state gets you closer to family or better doctors, suck up the move and go. If you just think it would be nice to live in another house, stay where you are and think about that in a year. GET HELP Go see a therapist or doctor. You need to do whatever is necessary to be the best version of you. Even if that stretches your finances. There is only one you, and it's your job to make sure you are ok. If you can't find childcare, bring your child with you or do an appointment over skype or the phone. Don't let anything get in your way of getting the right help or right medication. Bonus- Do whatever it takes What worked for me, is to listen to a gazillion podcasts, youtube videos and read tons of self-help books. It was vital for me to drown out all the negative thoughts that I was so addicted to. With seeing a different perspective, I started to look at the lessons in every heartache and the joy of the good moments. I learned the practice of worrying less and living in the moment. Below there are some links to some of the videos that I have LOVED. (I didn't mention these in the episode but they are also VERY helpful for getting you in a better state of mind. Eat whole foods, exercise and meditate. Youtube how to do that, I am still learning myself) If you are in a season of depression just know that you are not alone, it's entirely normal to be going through depression and you CAN get better. Links Here are some of the suggested links you can check out. The first is a link to a webpage for a podcast I highly suggest about depression Amy Porterfield podcast episode on depression. This episode was done beautifully. Her podcast is about online marketing, but this particular episode just speaks to depression. I HIGHLY suggest you listen. https://www.amyporterfield.com/2018/09/230/ BetterHelp.com (affordable online counseling) https://www.betterhelp.com Suicide Prevention Lifeline https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/talk-to-someone-now/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TEJVBWEImc&t=666s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3ScszkzJqk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-jwWYX7Jlo&t=17s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1I9ADpXbD6c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvGw8tnDQkw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elJobyqdJDU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfvYlWG1cA0 TD Jake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5ASr9YuMcw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b-TbvOZhCg&t=596s Oprah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZEb4dAUSjA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnKu46WGajo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkSgxuQrYwY Eckart Tolle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mz0e9LrOsyk&t=4806s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5t_vJkk_xc&t=15s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bvVsBpfjfI&t=3854s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOLEZAHn4Uk&t=2802s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXk6fmgoBtA&t=1719s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvLdV6CCyP8&t=681s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwWgpEJxDI0&t=2732s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbceUw3jlng https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LH5orwZr5i0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLVtrtQdjzQ&t=1345s Wayne Dyer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNrEFpkgWQo&t=3396s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HewbxiBxO38&t=4263s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uak_97-tqxo&t=7s Les Brown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlUMrzwmbyo Mel Robbins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBRW6aKbNkQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVeTo03opu8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVAcs5AHhF4&t=610s Joel osteen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kjSK-PcU9o&list=PL0rN4aZuF55zCf2MC7UNDa0ZayxN_n1g5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSsoWAVps_E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRmi3cQ2hBw&t=452s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5S0C35f_gE Eric THomas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-jwWYX7Jlo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Oxz060iedY Tony RObbins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Af4QLc2vhs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0NNYoPyclw Prince EA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja-n5qUNRi8&t=64s Simon Sinek https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnBs6YGPAu4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ITwLbl4MKQ Marie Forleo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6ys8lhSsbA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U4Hprs8QPs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIABCb37LN8 Jim Roahn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGIjuVbGP_A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TP8ySABgwQ IYanla vanzant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSm94x6uONc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lcbi_5upRE Denzel Washington https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxY_eJLBflk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKd2QVrQVIM Will Smith https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SWILgfKMiE&t=445s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnUS1XFasWc
Hands up if you love networking! No? Don't worry, even if you're good at it there's a fair chance you don't love it. Which could explain why many of us don't do it! Despite knowing that networking is a powerful way to get more business, find subcontractors or builders to work with and to raise the profile of our trade business, many of us still avoid it. There's always the online versions of course, like LinkedIn, but are our desired contacts really on there and is the platform really suited to trades? Fortunately, Josh Sprague and his team at Good Work have put together a digital networking and job finding platform JUST FOR TRADIES! It's growing rapidly and is really changing the way tradies are networking, finding jobs, finding subbies and raising their profile. Best part? It's free! Find out more about how this came about, what it could do for your business and how to get involved by pressing "play"
Cómo padres nos toca reñir, hoy os cuento cómo usamos Stop mejor que Don't.Los niños trastean, prueban, experimentan...es su forma de aprender. Muchas veces nos pasamos el día corrigiendo y diciéndoles que NO a todo o casi todo.En casa hemos cambiado ese NO/Don't cotidiano por Stop. De manera que para las pequeñas acciones a corregir o para que no cruce la carretera sin darnos la mano no tengamos que usar NO. Y lo reservamos para cosas que realmente merezcan la importancia y la tonalidad que dicta el No.En el episodio de hoy os cuento también cómo fortalecer y premiar la buena conducta después de Stop y una anécdota que le pasó a mi padre con el pequeño a raíz de esto.Si todo marcha bien en Junio estarán los curso para aprender a criar bilingüe http://ow.ly/Banm30bNvxN por lo que si queréis saber más sobre esto no tenéis más que mandarme un mail desde el formulario de contacto o lanzarme un tuit con el hashtag #Abilingüe51.
