In this episode, host Pete Moore sits down with Fadi Zoghzoghy, founder and CEO of Bridge Athletic. Fadi shares his insights about the transformative power of tech for the training market, particularly for college and professional athletes and coaches. With a strong background in tech, Fadi goes further into how Bridge is digitizing weight rooms and enhancing athlete development through personalized training, learning, and adaptive learning strategies. Bridge is not just about efficiency, but also about improving performance and player engagement. On bringing coaching "into the 21st century and seeing a white space," Fadi states, "There are no tools out there to help them do their job . . . efficiently and effectively. They're spending a lot of time in Excel designing these training plans. They're sending YouTube links. They're following up via text messages. It's all pretty much done in 1990's tech. That was the opportunity that we went after initially." Key themes discussed Digitizing athletic training and development Empowering strength coaches with modern tools Pricing software's value proposition Measuring user engagement stickiness Athletic program performance analysis Success stories in fitness innovation Entrepreneurial impact on community A few key takeaways:  1. Bridge Athletic's Impact on Efficiency: Bridge is a tool designed to digitize the weight room and optimize the workflow of strength and conditioning coaches. The platform helps them move away from traditional pen and paper or Excel-based methods to a digital system that saves coaches an average of forty minutes per day. 2. Focus on Strength and Conditioning: Initially targeting the strength and conditioning community, Bridge aims to enhance the efficiency of coaches by allowing personalization of training plans and facilitating better engagement and compliance from their athletes. 3. Adoption and Retention: The platform boasts high retention once an organization brings them in. Once coaches and athletes see the benefits of Bridge's digital strategies and how much more efficient things become, the tech becomes an integral part of the training processes. 4. Versatile Applications: Bridge is also used across various sectors, including pro teams, college athletics, tactical communities, and the fitness industry. Its applicability ranges from enhancing athlete development to aiding fitness professionals in business growth. 5. Positive Experiences and Testimonials: The platform has significantly impacted users, which is evident from their many unsolicited testimonials ranging from helping athletes in recovery journeys to contributing to their performance and overall satisfaction.

And yet, you know, what we bring in as humans, as individuals, is very much cultural.  So how can we also peel into these layers and understand what needs to be healed and what needs to be expressed and what needs to be acknowledged? And for that to happen, we need to be open to sharing all this and being in these conversations in the first place, which, I can imagine for a lot of people, can be really triggering. (Lana) For me, one of the things that I go back to is my own regulated state, I often refer to as yes, hurt people, hurt people, and settled bodies, settled bodies. So for me going into this type of conversation, I need to take agency in terms of how am I showing up? (Lana)  What is our lens around productivity?  For me I can say for us Filipinos, our lens around productivity has been so tied up with our colonial history.  Being told countless times as Filipinos that we were lazy, and we were branded by the Spaniards as lazy, and there were stories created about Filipinos being lazy. (Lana) …we've had so many founders, um, talk to us about, Ooh, it's so difficult to show up and be visible because, you know, I don't think I'm worthy or I don't feel that I'm enough. So this concept around being enough, is something to unpack, you know, like where did this start and how did this start and how far can you trace it back?

In this episode of the Pints and Polishing Podcast, hosts Marshall and Nick discuss a variety of topics ranging from their favorite beers to the emotional connections people have with their cars. They delve into the service industry, sharing positive experiences, and debate the merits of naming cars. The conversation shifts to college football, exploring the financial implications of player compensation and coaching decisions. They also touch on the evolution of vehicle design and the challenges faced in the detailing industry, before concluding with a discussion on luxury cars and the lengths wealthy individuals will go to acquire them. In this conversation, Nick and Marshall explore various aspects of luxury car ownership, detailing, and the evolving culture of car enthusiasts. They discuss the reliability of luxury vehicles, the tax benefits associated with owning them, and the importance of proper maintenance. The duo also delves into the significance of products like Fuego in car care, the challenges faced by DIY car owners, and the distinction between hobbyists and professionals in the detailing world. They emphasize the role of the internet in shaping car culture and the importance of humor in the community. Takeaways The service industry often receives negative feedback, but positive experiences should also be shared. Naming cars can create a sense of attachment, but not everyone agrees with this practice. Emotional connections to cars vary greatly among individuals, especially those in the car business. Pets often reflect their owners' personalities and lifestyles, leading to unique relationships. College football has become a business, with significant financial stakes for players and coaches alike. The design of vehicles has evolved, often prioritizing size over quality materials. Detailing cars can reveal surprising and sometimes unpleasant discoveries. Luxury brands like Range Rover have mastered the art of branding and customer satisfaction. Wealth can often bypass regulations and restrictions in the automotive market. The podcast hosts enjoy sharing personal anecdotes that relate to broader themes in society. Most luxury car owners don't drive their cars much. Tax benefits can make luxury cars more appealing. Fuego is a neutral pH product that works well for detailing. Proper maintenance is crucial for high-end vehicles. DIY car care can lead to mistakes if not done correctly. Hobbyists play a significant role in the detailing industry. The internet has transformed how car enthusiasts connect. Car detailing can be a therapeutic activity for many. Humor is essential in car culture and ownership. Not all car enthusiasts are knowledgeable about maintenance.

In this episode, Bart and Tim discuss the importance of taking a break from therapy and how it can benefit patients. They share a story of a patient who experienced positive changes after giving themselves permission to have a break. They explore the concept of embodiment and how being in a different environment can change the way we experience our bodies. They also discuss the therapeutic approach to breaks and the importance of empowering patients to take control of their own recovery. Overall, they emphasise the opportunity for reflection, exploration, and self-care that a break can provide.   Takeaways Taking a break from therapy can be beneficial for patients, allowing them to reflect, explore, and take control of their own recovery. Being in a different environment can change the way we experience our bodies and can provide opportunities for growth and self-discovery. Therapists should empower patients to take breaks and give themselves permission to rest and recharge. Breaks can be a time for reflection, evaluation, and planning for future self-care and well-being. The therapeutic approach to breaks should focus on creating a context that reinforces positive experiences and allows for mindful exploration.

One of the key concepts in DBT is the focus on building positive experiences, which is a component of the emotion regulation module. Building positive experiences in the short term and the long term is aimed at increasing positive events, which can help improve mood and counteract negative emotional states. In this podcast, I will discuss how to intentionally engage in enjoyable or fulfilling activities. This will increase positive emotions. This creates a CBT triangle cycle where emotions, feelings, and behaviors influence and affect each other positively. By building positive experiences, we can develop a better sense of self and a more fulfilling life.

This episode delves deep into manifesting our desires, attracting abundance, achieving our dreams, and positive experiences. Manifestation isn't just about visualizing our goals; it's about embodying them. The Law of Attraction states that like attracts like, meaning we must become what we seek to manifest. It's not merely about wanting something; it's about being it, without attaching conditions or limitations. Often, we create barriers in our minds by focusing on the how instead of fully embodying our desires. But true manifestation requires us to adopt the mindset of already having achieved our goals, viewing ourselves from the perspective of our future selves. This shift in perspective may seem challenging, especially in a world that encourages a "realistic" approach. However, by embracing the belief that we are already living our desired reality, we unlock the power to shape our destiny. Reflect on your desires and visualize them as if they are already a reality. Whether it's a career goal, a relationship, or personal growth, see yourself from the perspective of having already attained it. Remember, you hold the power to manifest the life you envision. It's not about striving endlessly; it's about stepping into your inherent power and aligning with your highest self. - Henry -------------------------------- Social Media ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Say hi on TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Say Hi on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -------------------------------- Email Me ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠henry@vibeabundant.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -------------------------------- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email List⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/positive-mindset-podcast/support

Phil Codd is the CEO of Explio, an IT services company in Ireland, where he has worked for over 15 years. He started his career in sales and enjoys building rapport with customers, emphasizing the importance of positive interactions and relationships in business. Highlights: Phil grew up in London after his family moved from Dublin in the 1960s. He worked in the early days of the computer industry in Ireland when it was still quite small and immature. He got his start in sales selling newspapers and working retail, where he enjoyed the "buzz" of meeting customers and making sales. This indicated his natural inclination towards sales. Phil has been with Explio, an IT services company, for 15 years now. He takes pride in the company's growth to over 850 employees in Ireland, as well as its diversity and empowering culture. He believes mentorship is very important for leaders and managers. Having someone outside your company to provide advice and guidance is invaluable. Key Insights: Ireland offers a "luxury" for salespeople and business development to leverage personal connections and relationships unlike bigger countries. Decisions made at work are generally quite small compared to big life decisions. Employees should feel empowered to make decisions themselves. Interactions with people, no matter how small, are never neutral - they either leave you with a positive or negative feeling. Phil aims to have positive interactions. We need more nuance and balance in how we view leaders and public figures, rather than simplistic "good or bad" judgments.

This week's episode focuses on how grief and mental health issues can be exacerbated by the holiday season.

Our host Ingrid Cockhren will welcome former PACEs Connection team member and Grief & Wellness consultant, Gail Kennedy, and Yolo Cares for Kids Grief Specialist, Elisa Stone to discuss effective healing practices. Our discussion will center on how we can process our grief during this time and how we can assist children in managing grief and other overwhelming emotions as we end the year.

Have you ever worked on a team going through a lot of change? I'm guessing you have many times and in many different scenarios. I'm also guessing your experience of that change had a lot to do with the level of trust that the team had for one another and the leaders of the team and/or organization. When there is a high level of trust the impacts of the change are softened. When there is low trust change can be traumatic. Clearly, we want to work in teams that have high trust but if that's not the current condition, how do we get there? To answer that question I've asked Malia Monaco to join me for this episode.   In this episode Malia and I talk about: ·         The work that Malia does for leaders and organizations through Positive Intelligence involving change management and trust building. ·         What it takes to build trust in teams and what becomes possible when trust grows. ·         Why it's important to get to the root of the problem rather than tackling the symptoms, which is where many organizational initiatives go wrong. ·         How our belief system will shape what we see around us and determine whether we bring harsh judgment or blameless discernment to our reactions. ·         While insights are important, they only make up 20% of sustainable long-lasting change what makes up the other 80%.

"Many of us feel aimless and unable to direct our lives effectively. But fear not, iCARE will guide you to a calm and grounded state of being." - Michael John CusickIn today's episode, we delve into the concept of "iCARE," focusing on what lies within us, including our body, mind, and emotions. Michael John Cusick explores the practice of becoming aware of our inner experiences and sensations through a body scan, allowing us to observe and notice without judgment. Drawing on scripture passages, he highlights the importance of self-compassion, kindness, humility, and gentleness as the foundation for loving others. He also challenges the misconception that we are fundamentally flawed or unlovable, rooted in a deeper understanding of sin and our relationship with God. We also delve into practical exercises such as figure eights, tapping, and breathing techniques to regulate emotions and cultivate a deeper connection with God. So, join us as we journey inward, exploring the treasures within our souls and learning to live in alignment with God's love.CONTACT RESTORING THE SOUL:- Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

Dr. Sara talks to us here about transformation and shifting into a change in your life. She speaks to how when we make changes in our inner state, it can lead to a ripple effect of positive experiences. We can't know the ripple effect and shifts our own internal change will cause for those around us, however, it will create shifts that go beyond what we are able to see or know. By focusing on our own inner state and keeping ourselves in the highest feeling, most peaceful state possible, we can amazingly create ripples and waves of change. If you have questions, please get in touch with Dr. Sara at www.drsaraspowart.com. She welcomes any and all questions, comments and requests for support.

Welcome to the morning meeting. We will be using these short episodes to set an intention for each day. The point is to help you create clarity.

Mark Manson, Author of "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" explains why most self help is backwards, and how to actually improve your life and wellbeing.  He shares his perspective on life, death, success, and finding our purpose. Mark recounts how the surprising death of his friend shifted his view on life, and why it's important that we lean how to die before we die. He describes the challenges he faced after becoming 'an overnight success' and selling 10 million copies of his book - challenging the idea that success can make you happy. He uses 'The Paradox of Progress' to explain why the wealthiest countries are also the most unhappy. Mark also explains the fundamentals for building a healthy relationship, and how to use the context of the past to inspire gratitude for the present.   SPONSOR: https://www.mudwtr.com/knowthyself Code: KNOWTHYSELF for 15% off (Currently only ships to US & Canada)   ___________ Timecodes: 0:00 Intro  1:45 The Death of My Childhood Friend 8:12 How to Die Before You Die 9:56 The Painful Reality of Personal Growth and Change 12:44 The Challenges of Success and Happiness on the Macro and Micro Level 19:44 What to Give a F*ck About  23:37 Stopping BS'ing Yourself 25:55 Why the Rich are Unhappy - The Paradox of Progress 32:05 Finding Meaning Beyond Success and Dealing with Exponential Swings 37:20 Overcoming Depression after Massive Success 40:12 The Backwards Law and the Pursuit of Positive Experiences 43:44 Letting Go: A Pathway to More 47:10 Self Sabotage: Manson's Law of Avoidance 54:11 The never-ending wheel of self-improvement 57:17 Taking LSD & Seeing God  1:03:56 Finding Your Unique Combination of Skills and Gifts 1:12:28 The Limitations of Identity and Finding Meaning Beyond Success 1:14:57 The Importance of Maintaining Separate Identities in a Romantic Partnership. 1:17:53 Historical Context & Understanding Progress 1:27:44 Conclusion   ___________   Mark Manson:   Mark is the three-time #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, as well as other titles.
