I invited our Mind Your Autistic Brain community to send in their questions about burnout and I hosted a very casual zoom to answer them. We ended up with 13 questions in this episode and I hope it is as helpful to you as it was to the group. The poll results showed that the majority weren't sure if they were in burnout at the beginning of the webinar and wanted to learn more and when I asked at the end if those who answered they weren't sure now had clarity the results were very clear, yes burnout was definitely on the radar now. Time Stamps: Q1- 4:11 What is Autstic Burnout? Q2- 7:40 How can I help someone who is going through burnout? Q3- 10:51 What's the recovery journey look like? Where to start? What's the 1st step? Q4- 18:16 I have a long to do list, events and travel coming up and I'm feeling drained. Q5- 21:46 I have felt more distant & have no will to be social, is this an early sign? Q6- 26:12 Is there any way of getting motivated while in burnout? Q7- 31:43 At what age can burnout start? Q8- 34:44 How long or short could it be? How much can burnout vary? Q9- 37:44 How do I make peace with the me who was in burnout? Q10- 39:57 I've always thought I suffer from depression but could this be burnout? Q11- 43:20 Can medications make a difference and could this still be burnout? Q12- 47:19 How do I prioritize myself? Q13- 49:22 How do I recognize BO warning signs? How do I manage BO while still working full time? Mind Your Autistic Brain Talk Show hosted by The Social Autie, that's me, Carole Jean.

Irgendwann musste es ja soweit kommen! Aber dass es ein Redaktionsmitglied von "Sanft & Schulisch" ist, damit konnte wirklich niemand rechnen. Die "britische" Variante B.117 kursiert in der Q11. Wie es dazu kommen konnte und was das für Auswirkungen hat wird in der Nebenrubrik, einem "Oberstufen Diary", besprochen. In der Hauptrubrik, der "Education Station" erklären die nebenberuflichen Star-Epidemiologen alles, was man zu den Corona-Mutationen wissen muss. Auch die indische Doppelmutante B.1617 ist Thema. Viel Spaß bei der Folge! #AlleDichtMachen

Die Disziplinierung der Arbeiterschaft in der Phase der Frühindustrialisierung. Geschichte 8.Kl. / Q11

Die Hauptsendung ist wieder zurück! Wir starten direkt mit einem Gast: Louis Fischer, der Regionalsprecher (Mittelfranken-Süd) und Schülersprecher am Gymnasium in Wendelstein, gastiert bei uns. Zusammen unterhalten wir uns über das Amt des Regional- und das des Schülersprechers, die Oberstufe und auch über Politik. Zuvor widmen wir uns im Stand-Up dem Klimawandel, den es ja leider auch noch gibt, und der AfD, die es ja leider auch noch gibt. Bei den "Fakten zur Woche" wird erklärt, wie das Bluetooth-Symbol entstand und warum es eigentlich "Bluetooth" heißt. Außerdem erzählt Sebbi die Geschichte, warum er sein Handy nicht entsperren konnte und die Geschichte, wie er dazu gekommen ist, einen VW ID.4 zu fahren. Abgerundet wird das Ganze mit einer Prise "Oberstufen Diary", wo wir über den neuen Maßnahmenplan für die Q11 sprechen. Was der Louis und sein Brandbrief wohl damit zu tun haben? Und denkt daran: #AntiAstraZeneca - als Hashtag der Woche: ja; in der Realität: nein!

Thom  reveals his own transformation throughout life, his endless curiosity,  and evident bright personality and intellect which has allowed him to  win multiple speaking awards, write books, host conferences, coach  presentation skills and speech-writing, lead marketing and business  development functions in the corporate environment, just to name a few.  He has had celebrity keynote speakers as personal mentors across many  industries and shares illustrious stories about the richness of his life  and experiences, and shares tips on agility and leadership by  reinventing yourself in a distracted and lonely world in which we have  all become so accustomed to live.

No podcast QUARENTENADOS desta semana, foi a vez da Barbara Duarte, do site sobre comportamento, lifestyle e compra aos 40, alegrar nosso isolamento! Continue lendo em: Barbara Duarte – QUARENTENADOS

Artists have the unique opportunity to investigate social issues often in surprising ways. Through a range of silly props and seemingly light-heartedness, Gudrun lays bare some of the most pressing issues in society through her work, which leaves a lasting impression on viewers. Following an unexpected journey from Iceland to the Royal Conservatoire in Scotland, she now lectures, directs and creates solo performance work in Glasgow. Part 1: "I'm here. I'm from there. Isn't it incredible?" (4:35)She came across the RCS's Contemporary Performance Practice by chance but it has set her on a course to produce fascinating work and contribute to the development of theatre in Scotland. We talk about her two homes: Iceland and Glasgow and some of her career highlights and failings over the last couple of years.Key QuestionsQ3:  What is your perception of nationality? Do you believe it is fixed and that we only truly belong to one place? Or is it a more fluid concept and possible to construct our own national identity? (08:52)Q4: Can you tell us more about the journey that led you from Iceland to Scotland where you now produce the majority of your work? (13:07)Part 2: Creating for Others as well as Yourself  (24:25)Elision explores concepts of home and belonging and what it means to be an independent nation. It is also a great example of theatrical experimentation. Gudrun discusses her work in greater depth especially when it comes to working with a script, responding to audiences in the moment and the challenges she faced in adapting it for GIFT 2020.Q6:  Is your work largely scripted or is there a measure of improvisation? If it is one or the other, why did you decide to go about creating this kind of work? (24:59)Q8:  Talk us through the initial inspiration and eventual realisation of Elision. (29:55)Q9:  Firstly, why did you decide that it was worth performing Elision on a digital platform? Secondly, how did you adapt it? What were some of the challenges in changing it? (32:37)Part 3: Escaping the Cold of an Artless World (38:08)Sometimes making art, especially if it is not of the readily consumable kind, can feel like floating far away from everything and everyone. This is one of the reasons making a living out of a creative pursuit – theatre, music or painting – is not easy.Q10: Given the recent changes with venues being closed and festivals being cancelled, has it just gotten a lot harder to survive as an artist? (42:03)Q11: What are your thoughts on the future of the industry and artists in general? Does the world need live art? (45:47)Find out more about Gudrun Soley Sigurdardottir and her work by visiting her website: http://www.gudrunsoley.com/You can also find them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. I would greatly appreciate any feedback!

Especially passionate about the local music and cultural scene, and well-respected among creatives and art aficionados of all kinds, the NARC. magazine and website aim to showcase the best in alternative music, art, literature, theatre, film, comedy and everything in between.Its April’s issue is going to go down in history. It is their first entirely digital magazine out of necessity (i.e. Covid-19) and symbolises the value of our cultural community as a pillar of support during an incredibly difficult time, through the labyrinth of names on the front cover of venues and businesses that found themselves suddenly closed.Part 1: Life in the Media (2:40)Claire describes what happened 14 years ago that inspired her to quit her job and start an independent publication focusing on arts and culture  in the North East. She also describes her recent response to the coronavirus outbreak and how she kept the magazine relevant and running despite the devastating circumstances.Q3: To put it into context, can you give an overview of your professional background? How would you describe your identity in relation to the North East? (5:20)Q4: Can you talk us through what you experienced as an editor during the coronavirus outbreak and lockdown announcement? (Would you say that the recent forced digitalisation of NARC is perhaps a positive development?) (8:15)Part 2: Inner Life Illumination and Emotional Enrichment (12:10)This section deals with the importance of arts and culture and our community as a pillar of support in general and especially during a time of crisis.Q6: List three things that set NARC. apart from other publications. (14:31)Q7: You promote arts and culture. One of the societal benefits of this sector is to reduce social exclusion and isolation. How do you think that is going to change with the coronavirus?  (17:41)Part 3: Reliably Informed - Ethical Concerns in Media Consumption (19:32)We talk about media consumption and Claire gives some advice for people looking to start a career in media.Q11: What we read and how often we choose to look at news can have a negative impact on our mental wellbeing. What is your advice to listeners about media consumption?  (20:13)Interview with David Saunders, the website content editor (25:30)I also talked to David Saunders about his role as the website content editor. He gave valuable insight into the running of the magazine and the North East arts and culture scene in general.Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this episode.

As I said at the end of the episode. This may have been the best episode in Lead By Example Hockey Training podcast history so far. Mental health is something we do not talk about in the athletic community. It is not ok to be struggling, we are told to push through pain. Push through issues, etc. Athletes are humans too and we need to do a better job of giving young athletes the tools and resources to speak up and feel comfortable with speaking up about the struggle they are going through. Athlete Humanity gives us an amazing episode diving into the science of sleep, our parasympathetic, sympathetic system, the importance of speaking up and taking care of our human side first before our athlete side. How we can break the barriers of mental health in sports and a whole lot more. What an episode!! Below is the Athlete Humanity website and Instagram plus the show notes.

Die Dolchstoßlegende, welche vom ehemaligen Chef der Obersten Heeresleitung - Paul von Hindenburg - am 18. November 1919 vor einem Untersuchungsausschuss des Reichstages zur Klärung der deutschen Niederlage vorgetragen und rasch Verbreitung in rechts-konservativen Kreisen fand, wurde zur Diffamierungsparole gegen Sozialdemokraten, Demokraten und die Weimarer Republik selbst. Schon vor 100 Jahren wurden die Tatsachen verdreht und Fake News in die Welt gesetzt, um dem politischen Gegner zu schaden. 9. Jgst.Q11/2

Host: Jai Shukla & Guest: Ben Hurst Q1 — How did it all begin in Oakville, all the way to Canada, and now you're the British GT? The dad of Ben Hurst stirred up the whole process when he took him to Bridgestone racing Academy to try out for a racing license. Ben Hurst got started in Formula Ford, here in Canada. He met one of the teams when he was at racing school there to get his racing license because Ben was just interested in trying. They eventually then won the championship after 3 years of persistence. The team he was with In the UK got partnered with an F3 team during the Formula Ford festival of friends. So that's kind of how Ben got introduced to everyone quickly in the UK. And that's kind of how all his opportunities came out. So it's kind of in one meeting after the next.   Q2 — You started off racing at age 16, did that affect how you saw the races approach the races? Yes, especially in F3 you have to be willing to either go into that corner and either crashed your car into someone else or if they back off. But Ben Hurst is not wired to go into a corner and just either Yes, he is going to make it or he is going to be out of the race. Ben always want to finish races, no matter what.   Q3 — So have you considered endurance racing something like Lemans? After watching it this year with Aston, Ben Hurst knew in my heart that there’s where he wants to be. Ben loves the level of preparation the teams go through. It's like an F1 car, but it's a GT car that goes for 24 hours.   Q4 — Between F3 and GT, what kind of differences are they in terms of pressure and atmosphere? I think there's more pressure because it's not only my race weekend, it's my teammates. Having a teammate does change the mentality a lot because you have to bring the car home for them because it's their race weekend as well. It’s always rewarding to get the results on track in the morning after your teammates may have put in the late night to get the car ready morning.   Q5 — How is your relationship with your partner and what is your advice on how to create a bond with your partner? For my partner, despite our different backgrounds, we have formed an efficient partnership. He is naturally quick but does not have racing experience. He helps me with qualifying for my outright pace and I handle the race starts. To build a great relationship with your teammates, I’d advise you to spend time together, train together, learn how each they work.   Q6 — Do you feel that racing is something you will want to continue for the rest of your life? Well, I've just graduated. And I took a degree that would help me with my racing career (Sports management) So I spent some time with the Renault F1 team, as a work placement in their sponsorship department learning how to how they get sponsors, I think that helped me.   Q7 — Can you share tips on how to get sponsorships? Its hard work, get a lot of verified contacts (email/phone lines especially) who are interested in what you do. Find the market you are in, look for companies that are interested in what you do. A blue ocean strategy will pay off big time. On what companies expect in return: Some opt for increased sales of their cars or other organizing coaching events. Expectations vary from one company to another. Be it Aston Martin, Renato or Renault.     Q8 — How did the university degree help you expand your knowledge about sponsorships?  I did my dissertation on how sponsorship works in Formula One. I also leveraged on the experience of the Head of my management team with 20 years of experience. He moved from the mechanic side to the commercial side of racing. Side by side, these two events expanded my knowledge on how sponsorships work. I’d say that Formula 1 sponsorship is about Business to Business partnership and getting introductions.   Q9 — Would you like to go into Formula One at some point? Or is it La mans and hundred percent endurance racing? I am 100% going to GT and endurance racing. I want to build my career with support from either dealerships or manufacturers at this level and work my way up to a factory role with one of the manufacturers. Rather than trying to find the funding for F3 for another year, FIA F3, for another year and then F2.     Q10 — So how do you manage to deal with that pressure of actually going into the car and feeling like everyone's ready and waiting for you to now deliver? If you're prepared, then you have nothing. That’s exactly my mindset. I think that the biggest thing I've learned is preparation. If I do my training, right, if I eat right, by the time I get to the race, I'm fully prepared and there should be nothing I'm got to think about other than going forward in the race that we're at.   Q11 — What do you feel is the biggest difference between watching and driving? So I think sometimes it looks a bit more intense on TV than it is in the car. Because you're calm in the car, you're just focusing on what you need to do. In the car, you're focused on what's directly in front of you and what's directly behind you. And you count on your team at that point for what's going on the bigger picture. As a driver, I keep a lot of things out of my mind.   Q12 — Have you ever been out of the zone? Are you ever in a situation where you feel like, today's just not my day when you're driving? More so, can you share with us on how you get yourself in the zone? I work hard at making sure I'm in the zone, I have a mine coach that works with my management company. And they help to keep that going system. As a routine, I usually do a warm-up of two to three minutes, jump on the skipping rope. And then I will go and find my own space for about 20 minutes, 10 minutes and listen to music. And then I commonly go put my helmet on. By the time my helmets are on, I keep my visor closed because I want to. I'm in the zone by that point. When I get in the car, I get the radios plugged in, and then I'm talking to my team. And it's all 100% of focus to what you have to do after that.   Q13 — What 3 tips can you share with racing drivers wannabes to put them in a position to make their dreams come true? Work hard. I am a fan of fitness. Have a notebook at the track or when you go-karting. If there are bumps and stuff you notice on the track, or if there's a line that works or a good overtaking spot, write it down. Make sure you know and write it down. It helps you. Don’t give up. You can't give up you have to keep going.

Host: Jai Shukla    Guest: Kelvin van der Linde Q1 — What made you get started in racing? You could say it’s in his blood. His father and grandfather were both race car drivers and as a kid, Kelvin was always at the race track in his pram!   Q2 — How involved were they in your journey? Kelvin and his younger brother raced carts on the weekends, but it was really more about spending time with the family. They’d have their camper at the race track and set up a barbeque, definitely fond memories for him. As soon as he got serious about the sport, it obviously was going to become less and less about a family meetup and more about winning!   Q3 — What was it like beating your uncle’s record for youngest South African national champion? Kelvin van der Linde was only 14 years old when he started in the championship, unheard of at the time. His uncle, however, was happy to see him taking on the challenge and succeeding admirably.   Q4 — Adrenaline plays a huge part in racing. Do you partake in any other activities outside of the sport that are also quite daring? It’s difficult to match the intensity of racing elsewhere, but he participates in triathlons like many other drivers. Even though he doesn’t think he’ll ever find a sport that matches the thrill of driving, he sticks to outdoor activities… the more intense the better.   Q5 — I noticed you use the term “thrill” as opposed to “pressure.” What do you think allows you to interpret the intensity of racing in this way? Kelvin comes from humble beginnings, so, in his eyes, racing is still very much a privilege. It’s hard for him to consider what he does, even at his lowest moments, something short of a blessing.   Q6 — And how did you manage to change that mentality from “pressure” to “thrill,” specifically? It’s staying positive and staying thankful. It’s not going to last forever, so you might as well enjoy the ride!   Q7 — What are some other things in your world that you care about aside from racing? On the business side, he’s started coaching young drivers from South Africa, and on the personal side, he’s trying to spend more and more time with his friends and family. You have to balance both sides!   Q8 — You spend time coaching young drivers in South Africa. How do you manage that living in Europe? While he doesn’t have much time for literal hands-on coaching, he’s able to give lots of solid advice and context to drivers from abroad. He knows how drivers felt when they started and he’s quite enthusiastic to give guidance to those coming after him.   Q9 — What sort of pointers do you give to these young drivers? Management and politics are completely different in Europe compared to South Africa. He’s trying to teach them how to transition properly, so they don’t have to make the same mistakes he did.   Q10 — How did the opportunity in Audi Sport come to fruition? With a bit of financial help from his parents, he was able to win race prize money and put it into a season of GT Masters. He won the championship driving an Audi R8 and they quickly started discussing a successful future together.   Q11 — What do you think sets you apart from other drivers? The jump from South Africa to Europe for him meant that it was all or nothing, not even a plan B. It’s that willpower of saying “I’m not going to lose” that he feels makes him unique amongst everyone else.   Q12 — Nürburgring is considered one of the toughest race tracks in the world. How did you manage to train and execute that? Kelvin van der Linde admits that Audi took a gamble on him for Nürburgring, as well as being with the right car and the right teammates in that moment. He’s a big proponent of the stars aligning, his humility at work.   Q13 — One of your dreams is to win Le Mans. If you do win someday, what would you do beyond that? Do you have any other directions you see your career going? He’s not shy to admit he’d love to win Le Mans, but winning all the major endurance races before he retires one day would make him the happiest racer in the world.   Q14 — What kind of message would you like to leave with other drivers who are also chasing their dreams? There’s no escape from putting in the hours, but for racing, there’s no clear line. Occasionally it’s luck, there’s no way around it. But as long as you expose yourself and don’t have too many expectations coming into it, you’ll be on track to succeed. 

Host: Jai Shukla    Guest: Kaz Grala   Q1 — You started racing at four years old and at an early age you were already winning championships. How did that affect your racing mentality as a child? That’s the biggest reason he felt he should stick with it. By the time he was six years old, he had essentially tried every sport out there and racing was the one he seemed to excel at the most.    Q2 — What other sports did you participate in?  Swimming, tennis, baseball, soccer, you name it, he tried it. He tried to gauge where his passion was and what he enjoyed the most. The answer was racing.   Q3 — What was it about racing that you knew this was something you wanted to do for a living?  He loves that “being in the zone” feeling from racing. Away from outside distractions, it’s the epitome of peace for him. Of course, being at a higher level of racing now there are more distractions, even in the car, but even today it’s still incredibly calming.   Q4 — It’s that “zone” that people talk about in sports. That perfect balance between doing something and yet feeling like you’re not doing something. Is that what you’re referring to? It’s in every sport. An athlete who is great at what they do gets into that zone. For Kaz personally, no other sport could give him that experience.   Q5 — Talk to me about your dad’s journey to America. Did that have any effect on your aspirations as well? His dad emigrated from Poland with his family when Kaz was 8 years old and weirdly enough it was because he wanted to buy a car! Kaz explains his dad grew up always wanting to race and it was he who passed the torch down to his son.   Q6 — You’ve been the youngest person ever to compete in countless racing events. How did this affect your mindset towards the sport? Did this make you want to be first in more things? Did you set out to do this? Kaz Grala wasn’t aware that he would be the youngest person to compete or win in these events at the time. It’s not something he chased, but a cool bonus. Racing fundamentally keeps you humble, he admits. For all the highs, there are certainly the lows to match them.   Q7 — And how do you manage the pressure of the extreme highs and extreme lows? The best thing to do is to just take it one week at a time. You’re always fighting to be able to just stay in the game, so all you can do is just keep your nose to the grindstone and focus.   Q8 — How do you train yourself to be able to do that so successfully? Racing his whole life, Kaz Grala doesn’t know any other way to handle that level of pressure and focus. It’s been intimately woven into who he is. He admits if he had gotten into racing later in life, he definitely would’ve had some struggles with the intense focus needed to be successful.   Q9 — It seems like doing what you love can feed the energy you need to avoid the mentally draining aspects of the sport. What are your thoughts on that? It’s definitely what gets him through the harder parts. Maintaining a proper balance between professional and personal life, however, is one thing that helps in addition to his passionate energy.   Q10 — In your time off, you’ve managed to create a competitive NASCAR team in just under two weeks. What was that like? It just so happened that a contract wound up being broken and Kaz was offered three racecars for compensation. Kaz Grala wanted to take advantage of the situation, so he rounded up some other racers to start a team and before he knew it, they placed in the top 10 of their debut race.   Q11 — How has that process of managing relationships and the behind the scenes team operations differed from just being solely a driver? Although it does take away time dedicated to driving, Kaz feels it’s made him a more well-rounded driver for the better.   Q12 — What sort of specific impacts has that had on the way you drive? It helps him appreciate even more the organizations he’s with, but once that helmet goes on, nothing’s changed.   Q13 — You were sponsored by a spicy ice cream company. How did that come about? It was a fan who told Kaz about this ice cream company whose owner was a huge racing fan. They forwarded him his info and from there they ended up as a sponsor.   Q14 — And what exactly does spicy ice cream taste like? It’s quite sweet, just with a spicy kick to it. It’s good!   Q15 — What would you now like to do with the level of fame and excellence that you’ve worked for? Driving is still his passion and he has no plans other than to focus on what he loves the most.

Host: Jai Shukla & Guest: Darren Turner Q1 — Tell us about your driving experiences when you were a child. What got you into it and made you choose this as a career? Although obsessed with Formula 1 as a kid, it still took Darren Turner a solid year to convince his parents to let him drive even a go-kart. He’d drive the local track pretending he was a Grand Prix driver, not even realizing it was possible for a kid like him to become one. That realization became a reality years later after showing off his talent as a Formula 1 mechanic, leading to his first driving position. Q2 — At what point did you decide to actually turn it into a career? It wasn’t a decision really, but more of an opportunity. Attending a racing school and winning the final sort of secured the deal in his mind. After that, Darren did everything he could do find enough money to start racing full-time. Q3 — I know a lot of drivers mention luck and right place right time to get to where they are. You ended up a part of the GT Championship. Can you talk a little bit about that? Most drivers don’t really get to choose where they end up. I mean, everyone wants to get to Formula 1! Unfortunately, there are only so many opportunities, so you really just end up where those opportunities take you. Darren Turner admits feeling lucky to have ended up at Aston Martin in 2004 as a development driver. Q4 — You’ve had quite the career, winning Le Mans three times. Talk us through some of these wins. We had some hiccups between ‘05-’06, so in ‘07 our victory was glorious. The pressure and the challenge make the win that much more bittersweet.   Q5 — What makes a race mean the most to you? The most special are the ones where you can look at your own individual performance and know you did great. Normally it’s a collective performance that gives you the win, but it’s knowing that I did the best of my abilities during a race that carries the most weight. Every driver is looking for perfection!   Q6 — What’s your take on having that mindset of self-improvement, trying to be that person you want to be in the car? Your development as a human is ongoing and if you rest on your laurels you’ve basically given up! He’s coming up on 20 years racing, and seeing the new generation of drivers coming up helps him learn to brand new things. The new generation’s techniques and approach is different, and while he’s always trying to improve on his own, having that fresh impetus definitely helps him evolve and stay sharp.   Q7 — What are some examples of things the new generation has brought to the sport? They’ve raced with different manufacturers, so they bring lots of technical expertise to the table. They see things in a different way and drive with different techniques from previous generations. If one of these techniques cuts one-tenth of a second per lap, in a Le Mans race that adds up!   Q8 — Can you talk us through some of the changes in your perspective about racing over the decades in your career? Honestly, not that much has changed. The motivation is still there -- he’s hungry for performance and hungry for results. Of course, some things have changed — he’s got a family now — so naturally, the motivation is a little different than before. But he swears he’s just as driven as he’s ever been. You can’t take that out of the driver!   Q9 — What would you say to someone who’s starting up and hasn’t understood the balance of on-track versus off-track? Number one is that you’ve got to understand that everyone on your team is on a journey as well. If you’ve got a lot of attitudes, you’ll have to purely rely on what you do on the race track, which will only go so far. You’ve got to get the balance right and put the effort into remembering that everyone is with you, but on their own journey as well.   Q10 — What would you have done if you hadn’t chosen racing? One hundred percent he’d still be involved in motorsports, but if he had to choose a profession that doesn’t involve engines and burnt rubber, then it would be something that lets him travel the world. He’s had so many great experiences traveling in motorsport that in hindsight he couldn’t choose anything else. He also has a love for yachts, so maybe he’d be sailing around the world in a boat.   Q11 — What do you see for the remaining of your career? If he had to quit right now, he’s already done more than he ever could have dreamed as a kid. There are a few more years left at Aston Martin, though, and he’s doing more projects on the road car side. However, he still wants to continue driving until someone forces him to stop!   Q12 — A lot of people I’ve spoken to have transitioned into teaching or coaching. Is this something you’re at all interested in? There are a few drivers he’s been coaching at Aston Martin, but he stays humble about it. Darren Turner admits he can be a bit too demanding and impatient sometimes, but his experience more than makes up for the few imperfections.

Podcast with Host: Jai Shukla & Guest: Dominique Aegerter Q1 - When did you first get into racing and get on your first bike? Dominique Aegerter started at 3 years old. he usually rides in front of his parent’s workshop in Switzerland. Domi's first race with Motor Cross was the start in his career.   Q2 - How did you manage to secure your first sponsors and the get funding that you required joining and racing? His parents always supported him by coming to his training and races. It wasn't easy to find a sponsor but Dominique Aegerter father helped him in finding some sponsors towards his career.   Q3 - In the Portuguese Grand Prix - how did that opportunity manage to get secured by yourself? At 13 he changed from Motor Cross to Road Racing. In the German Championship, Dominique Aegerter came 2nd. One team from the championship saw his riding - He got access to the Grand Prix.   Q4 - What are some hurdles you overcame? As a Swish Rider, the journey may be difficult to be a professional rider. There's no race track as yet for training and to develop your riding style. From the federation, you don't tend to get a lot of help. You need to be strong mentally - to have supportive parents and sponsors.   Q5 - Were your parents ever afraid that you would be in a risky situation or were they always supportive? My father was always pushing me in a positive way and my mother, on the other hand, is always fearful but always supporting me. My brother always lends a helping hand.   Q6 - What is it like at the moment you realize you're about to crash? When the tire starts to slide, you try to save the slide. When you eventually crash, you move your arms to your chest.   Q7 - Are you taught those skills of what to do in a crash? You train psychically and mentally to get fit so that you are fully concentrated if any crashing takes place; you will be able to manage better.   Q8 - What is your mindset towards a crash? I'm not afraid to crash because I ride in a safety track and I'm trained. I wear an air pack system that effective in helping me prepare for crashes.   Q9 - How has your career changed over the last decade and also in the industry? Every year there has been a lot of progress. I ride different bikes from different companies. 2013-2014 were my best seasons.   Q10 - What are the things you work on for training and to be able to concentrate? I do a lot of Cycling, Running, Gym - I also do Motor Cross.   Q11 - What about Simulations? You have to prepare yourself mentally when you’re on the track.   Q12 - On the day of the race, what do you do to prepare for it? In the morning, eat breakfast, get warm-up at tracks. I stay focus when I'm changing in my room, then do a little more warm-up.   Q13 - Is that when you play out the simulations in your head? I mostly think about what I will do in the race.   Q14 - What are some of the roles your teammates play while you're on the track - how do they influence the way you race on track? We prepare everything before the race. We can see the billboard when we reach the Start/Finish line. When we cross the finish line the number of laps, gaps, how many riders behind you on the Billboard.   Q15 - How has your experience changed the way you tackle a race? It's much easier when you start in the front row. I'm learning each race and this helps me to improve myself to be better. There are factors you need to do to be able to be in the lead.   Q16 - Throughout this journey - where do you find that source of guidance from? I learn every race and try to get help from persons, also mentors. I also try to learn by myself and from teammates. I take the information and see what works best for me.   Q17 - How many times do you watch back your own race? Most of the times, for example, I watch last year race to know which lap time and position. Normally after that race, I watch the race of this season.   Q18 - The whole mental training aspect - tell us more about that? I go to the track to prepare myself in my approach towards riding. I try to be as close as possible to my last race lap time.   Q19 - You say you have a trainer - what things do you go through with them? I train one time per week with my psychical trainer. He gives me the training plan of what to do in the rest of the week. The mental training is carried out one time per month.   Q20 - From your mental training session with your trainer, what are you taught to improve for next time? Can you share something so that the audience can apply something that you have learned in your sessions where you're getting trained mentally? It helps to always stay positive and be you. The training session helps to motivate push you into working harder.   Q21 - You took a trip to Brazil - what was that like? I went to Brazil to visit and sightseeing. It was a great experience.   Q22 - What message would you like to leave the fans who are listening? Enjoy what you do and try your best.

Podcast with Host: Jai Shukla & Guest: Anthony Peacock Q1 — How did you get started into this world of PR? It was actually an accident. Starting as a journalist writing primarily about motorsport, he found himself being asked by drivers about how to get more media exposure. After noticing his suggestions were quite well-liked, he decided to make a career out of it, gradually moving from journalism to PR. He believes that to truly understand PR you have to be a journalist yourself because you can’t answer to what journalists want without knowing exactly what those things are. Q2 — While journalists are attempting to uncover the truth, PR is about fluffing up the truth. Is that a statement you agree with? Absolutely. In journalism, you tend to get better results from being as honest as you can. The job of PR isn’t necessarily about trying to persuade people, but to present the evidence in a way to allow the audience to make up their own mind. PR people are very sensitive to criticism, but you just have to accept that. If the thing is bad, people have every right to say it is. If it’s good then hopefully people will say it’s good. If there’s one thing missing from PR it’s a higher level of honesty. Q3 — How often do journalists end up finding the truth? About ninety-five percent of the time. It’s generally a bad idea to cover something up because you’ll look like an idiot when it inevitably gets found out! Q4 — Have you ever attempted to cover something up only to learn a valuable lesson or was it your principles in journalism that made it seem unnecessary to even attempt it, knowing the ease of being able to find out the truth in the first place? He succinctly admits that even if it’s negative, he’d never even bother to try to hide it. Q5 — How do you work your magic to present the truth in a relatable way and have people feel positive about it? An emphasis on the positives works great. You can exclude the negatives as long as you’re not pretending things are different than what they really are. In the digital age of Twitter, any cover-up will be uncovered by someone just on their mobile phone! It used to be a lot easier to keep secrets than it is now. Q6 — How do you feel that’s impacted the way you’re able to do your job? Honestly, it hasn’t really impacted his career much at all. Again, If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. Q7 — Tell us about what you’re working on right now and what ongoing projects you’re involved in. Currently, Anthony Peacock is working with Pirelli and Formula 1, he just finished up at a rally in Portugal, and will soon be headed to the Canadian Grand Prix, supporting the in-house Pirelli media office. He’s branching out from motorsport as well, starting his own catering company. Even he admits pizza is about as far from motorsport as you can get. No two days are typical, though, an average day usually split into small chunks involving many different projects, some short-term, some long-term. Q8 — How did people think you even had the skillset to do PR coming from the journalism side? Anthony Peacock stays humble and isn’t even quite sure himself. He chalks it up to putting himself out there, making connections with enough people who could vouch for him, and having enough experience that they believed his opinion was worth having. Q9 — It takes a lot of time and effort to start a business. What was it like going from a one-man role to building up a whole team in your own company? It was a slow build. His team of five people happened gradually, starting from just his lonesome to adding people one by one. If you get too big too quickly, you’ll no longer be able to relate to your clients. Q10 — You started the business when the need for your services was already in place. That seems to be the right way to start a business. It grew organically with, honestly, not even much of a plan. Even Anthony Peacock acknowledges he’s not the best person to be able to sit down and write a business plan. The way the business grew was organic, not forced or contrived. Q11 — What characteristics did you look for when looking for your right-hand man? Skillsets are one thing, but the mindset is another. It can be difficult to find someone who’s willing to put the long, anti-social hours which come with the motorsport territory. Most people would prefer they spend their weekend nights with their friends and family or drinking at the pub, not writing press releases. The best person for the job is someone who can put in the hours and make the sacrifices. Motorsport PR isn’t just sipping champagne on the tracks. It’s hard work! Q12 — I think the biggest myth of PR is that you’ll simply be enjoying the journey of interacting with people that you would already love to interact with, when, really, it’s a lot of long, hard hours. I mean it’s both, really. For example, you can get to interact with racing drivers in exotic locations and that’s part of the appeal, but it’d be a mistake to think it’s just that. No one discusses the daily grind! But the people who love it wouldn’t rather be anywhere else. Q13 — What can people do to increase their reach in motorsport? In terms of drivers, it’s being available and proactive. Even the best drivers need to be marketable and provide journalists and their PR agencies with interesting stories to tell about themselves. A lot of drivers are young kids and they just don’t think about what makes a good story and how to sell themselves. They’re focused solely on driving the car quickly. The truth is, a lot of people can drive a car quickly, but not many can drive a car quickly and be marketable at the same time. It doesn’t have to be complicated. Something as simple as uploading some photos from a recent rock-climbing trip to social media can suffice. It all helps. At the end of the day, a motorsport career is about sponsorship, and if they don’t know who you are or what you’re about, you’re shooting yourself in the foot. Q14 — You’ve worked with many people within the last decade, if not longer. Do you have any interesting stories and anecdotes you’d like to share with the audience? He’s reluctant to share any stories, mostly involving drivers acting silly and immaturely, including an incident involving a driver and a hotel fire extinguisher, and a well-known driver attempting to fit himself inside an airport x-ray machine! He’d love to tell a few stories but rather prefers to err on the side of discretion. It’s a family show, Anthony Peacock says. However, he’s quick to point out that he’s worked with many great people who don’t participate in this kind of behavior. Q15 — Social media has changed the way we interact. What do you think the future holds in terms of communication? There will likely be less and less of a role for traditional PR. People will be doing more things for themselves, likely even running their own campaigns. PR might transition into more of a guiding role, with drivers doing more of their own groundwork. More things will happen in real-time. People don’t want to wait for news anymore. This means having to be up at 3 am to deliver live coverage of a news story if need be. Later than live is too late these days. A digital world also means it’s harder to cover-up any sinful activities. People will need to constantly be on their best behavior! Q16 — How does the PR world for motorsport vary compared to other industries? For example, in Formula 1 racing you’re dealing with big sums of money, so any consequence of a wrong decision can be costly. Because of this, people will naturally be more sensitive and aware of anything that could cause a mishap or mistake. But he’d say the guiding principles are still largely the same. Q17 — What is something you believe that is one-hundred percent right that not everyone agrees with? Many colleagues say you should persuade a journalist or spin a story in a particular way. Having been a journalist, Anthony Peacock believes that this is just counter-productive behavior. If you badger a journalist, you’ll only get on his bad side and that could easily come back to bite you in the behind!

Podcast with Host: Jai Shukla & Guest: Jeff Segal Q1 – How did you manage to get into racing since 2001? Jeff Segal grew up around cars as his dad had a passion for the auto industry. Growing up watching racing on TV, he tried to kick down the barriers of convincing parents. Q2 – What sort of barriers did you have? Convincing his mum isn’t the worst thing in the world. And as a kid, it’s one of the worst hobbies you can have according to a mum! They got Jeff Segal a backyard go-kart but he was in 125cc kart – this was way over his head and hard to handle. It was sink or swim. Jeff is still in touch with the guy that got he into the kart and asked him what he was thinking. And his response was ‘You didn’t die, and things worked out well!’ I got into the cars by the time I was 15, 16. Q3 – How did you go from a kart to cars? It was like a video game to Jeff Segal, the transition wasn’t hard and learned manual racing. It was a steep learning curve. Driving cars that he really didn’t know how to but it has been sink or swim for most of my life and fortunately, things have worked out. Q4 – How did you manage to get sponsorship and people to give you those opportunities to sink or swim? Right place at the right time. One of his team-mates moved onto GT, left and he managed to get Jeff the opportunity. And more and more just transitioned from there as they performed well. Q5 – People see champagne in your face but what’s the reality that people don’t see? The hard work is done away from the race. The race is just the last part of the entire thing. Finding the right people, the right drivers, the commercial backing. Jeff Segal managed to have a long and successful relationship with Ferrari and won some of the biggest races with. It took a lot to prove that the programs they had a worth supporting and gaining their trust to be able to compete at the highest level. But once you do it once, the barriers fall down and it gets easier and easier. Once you have some success, it’s easier to market yourself to other teams and be a part of that effort. It takes a lot to set it up. But it’s not that if you haven’t prepared you can’t win as you can always have a fortune but in reality, all the work is done away from the track   Q6 – What is the % of the on-track vs off track? I’d say 10%. Some high-level people just turn up and drive and that works for them but for me, it’s never been like that. I have to put in the work. I like to be actively involved, I like to know everything about the, team, the car, and the opportunities. And this really puts you in a great situation for the races. Q7 – Being a private coach for Ferarri and sustain this – how did you manage that? Better luck than good – is a saying. When I worked with Ferrari clients who want to learn how to drive who have no experience – they want to drive the cars and decide they want to become serious. Some go to GT3, and there is an eco-system which is easy to be a part of, with the dealers and the more relationships you create within the brand – the better it gets. Q8 – People have said great things about your characters – how did you manage to create this reputation very well? Probably owing to the traditional route. I have had to work harder as I didn’t have the long resume people normally have so had to prove myself. I have to understand the off-track components and tried to be upfront, transparent, but having a work ethic that is not just arriving empty-handed. Getting things done and being an active experience.   Q9 – How did you start a company for a driving simulation called GPX lab? Jeff Segal used to play video games and had a passion. But in FIA I had an experience in 2014, which was a race on the other side of the world, where I had never competed, and showed up blind for practice and had to share the car with 2 other drivers. You have minimal practice time, which is fair. Some other guys were up to speed straight away whereas I was still finding my feet. And after speaking to them, they said we used a simulator in Europe. It’s more readily available in Europe and the feedback is great compared to that in the US. So when I had a selfish necessity to use it and realized it wasn’t available in the market, I teamed up with some people in the UK. Purchased a simulator and we have a technical relationship with them too. And now we have found our own feet, added our own car models and things of that nature because I think simulations are needed for drivers. If you look at F1, Indycar and top-level racing – the big factory teams are preparing on a simulator and it’s really helpful. So if it’s helpful for them, it would surely be helpful for other people. Especially for a gentlemen driver and amateur drivers.  So it’s for people who need that time learning. Q10 – What is the biggest difference between a simulator and the real thing and how much of a difference does it make? The biggest difference is that there are no consequences for crashing. People don’t like to admit this but it’s true and highly affects the way people drive. It changes your philosophy. And what we try and push very hard on people coming to train is that what you put in, is what you will get out. You have to treat this like a real track. It’s okay if you crash, but it’s weird being in a simulator but if you are crashing 10 times in the 1st 5 laps it’s very unlikely that you would drive like that. I have a lot of clients that use it. Using the reference lap for data, and look at the gears, where are people braking – and emulate a driving style starts to work. You get to learn other people’s lines and learn from them. See what works. This was extremely helpful. You don’t feel like you are on a new track. You know what you need to do when you get in the car. Q11 – How are you spreading your time with so many things? June is typically crazy but I like to be busy. Le Mans is a major race. Being surrounded by good people – other teams, good coaches. There are quite times too so during that time you do your homework and prepare. Q12 – How can you help others to get to where you are today? Have goals – not just long term goals. What are you looking to do and why are you trying to get there. These are things you have to question about yourself. I wanted to compete at Le Mans – it wasn’t something I stumbled into. I took decisions that helped me get there each step of the way. You are trying to finish well but you interact with the right people to be able to do that. The co-drivers, the teams, the manufacturers, the sponsors and if the opportunities arise – take them. You have to have a plan and then execute on them. That doesn’t mean it will always work out, but it’s about giving yourself the best chance. Q13 – Discipline – how do you get it? This is a big thing about the simulators that I see all the time. So many talented drivers. But you see their work ethic in a quick snapshot when they drive on the simulators. They struggle – they give up straight away. And it’s really important in the industry where so many people want the spot you want, that you have to put in the work. Especially when people are prepared to pay for a spot that you want to be paid for. This makes it a very cut-throat industry. And it means that you have to be critical about many aspects to be able to improve. And it boils down to how badly you want it. If you are willing to make the sacrifices, and not go out, the lifestyle choices, partying with your friends. All these things feed it. And there are plenty of drivers that don’t have the dedication but still got it all and there are those who try really hard and still don’t have it. So that says that if you try you may not get anything. But if you don’t try are guaranteed to not get anything.  

Podcast with Host: Jai Shukla & Guest: Renger van der Zande Q1 – How did you start your journey and get noticed? Started in Go-karts by the age of 12-13. After a few years - Renger van der Zandes 's mum agreed to by a go-kart. Finished 5th in the world championships - when he first started and 2013 when he first started pro. Q2 – What was it like to be on the podium and experience of it all? Sometimes you do a race - it’s where you do well and nobody sees it. And sometimes you do ok but someone sees it and it’s a highlight of the website and motorsport news media. LMPC sometimes people didn’t see it, it just depends when you get noticed.     Q3 – The right team the right people around - how do you find these people? Finding the right co-drivers you don’t get any say. For example - Honda decides. It really depends on the no. of drivers, the situation, how long you’ve been with them, etc. Sometimes the manufacturer decides.   Q4 What does it look like behind the scenes when it comes to team building? Jordan, for example, is great. He and I have a great relationship. We speak on the level, respect, openness. No question of is he going to take it the wrong way. Honesty matters - if somebody feels attacked - you will have big problems. Q5 - What’s the best advice you ever received? Believe in yourself. Being clever on track - making the right choices on the track. A 17-year-old Renger van der Zande is coaching atm who is in LMP3 - reminding him - helps to remind me. And you learn from yourself. It’s something that you should always have. Have coaches for various aspects of life. Try to get as much information as you can and then filter it for yourself. Q6 - How has the industry changed over the last 10 years? It was about staying with 1 manufacturer and hoping they were nice to you but now with everything being open and information being free to access - from SM and quickly connect with people. It has allowed us to create more chances - so I like to be with different manufacturers, different teams. Of course, if you are in F1 and if you are Fernando Alonso for example. If you want to do as much as you want and as much as you can. Back when I was in F3 I was serious about being in F1. Q7 - What shifted you off that path? In 2008, I got a contract with GP2 and a sponsor had to pay for it. And it was a blow to my career. I had to pay debts and with the financial crisis - it made life very tough. I was driving for free, didn’t get paid much in DTM, and in hindsight - it was a bad choice. It was all about marketing there. After that 2012, no drive, no sponsorship I started a company in racing insurance for people to insure their cars. This was a way back into racing as I was speaking to all those teams again about their insurances. They said hey - aren’t you driving anymore? And I said I’ve stopped but I’m happy to try. This way I managed to pay off debts and make money as a race car driver. It’s been a great learning curve. Q8 – How did you get out of the debts mentally and create opportunity? Motorsport is a small bubble in a sense. The film Gentlemen driver, really shows what it’s like and many gentlemen drivers show what it’s like to create a business. You can do business with them much more easily if you are part of it. Q9 - Does this financial security, affect the way you race? Yes. Now I’m looking at every race and seeing the crashes and assessing how much damage that will be. I had a big crash in Macau and a pile-up and 90% of the field. A lot of claims were going to come in that weekend! Q10 – What do the next 5 years look like? With 2 kids - leaving the house it a lot harder. Weeks at a time is hard but I’m passionate about it. I get a lot of offers and I’m already racing - I have a business, and kids, I like to be busy and sometimes I have to say no. I love IMSA for the next 10 years. Q11 What’s your favorite car? Cadillac - we won Daytona with it. You need a good car for Sebring. Q12 - What message would you like to leave the fans? Thank you for being there. It’s amazing to see no matter the weather condition - it’s just fantastic to see the people involved.

Podcast with Host: Jai Shukla & Guest: Steven Odendaal Q1 – How did you start your journey and get noticed? It’s been a very long career. It’s been a long road to get to where Steven Odendaal wanted to get to. It hasn’t been easy at all. Especially the transition from South Africa to Europe. You don’t know which teams are worth trusting. But he is very thankful. Q2 – How do you find people to trust? A lot of teams mess you up like trying to take your money and steal your sponsors. Steven Odendaal could have cut off 2-3 years off his career path if he knew the right people - but this helps a lot. Steven started on the smaller bikes but kids in Spain start racing from the age of 5. Q3 – How can someone find the right people? Start out in Spain. Spain is the hub of racing. It’s literally like one of their school subjects. You will find a better team naturally over there. And maybe South Africa can provide this. There are so many great drivers coming out of there.   Q4 Are you thinking of this as a business opportunity? Sticking to racing for now! Maybe for sure, a couple of guys can get together and do this in the future but for now, Steven Odendaal just wants to work on himself. He loves giving back to the community. Q5 - What kind of projects are you working on with others? Steven Odendaal helps out on track days. Give people tips/advice. Nothing formal. People do it for money but he helps people out for free. Steven believes it’s the right thing to do. Q6 - How did you know this was what you wanted to do? His dad was doing it, and a track day at Darby - he fell with it. Steven has got petrol running through my veins. Very lucky to continue his dream with it? Q7 - Who were you racing for? Himself when he started to see what he could achieve, and then for his family too and then his country too. It’s amazing to have the South African support. Q8 – What is the feeling of winning races? It’s a fantastic feeling, all the hard effort, all the hard days on the gym and everything makes it worth it. It’s like a drug, the feeling of winning. Q9 - What does it take to win? Focus, dedicated and disciplined. Diet, training, can’t be too crazy, the right amount of effort and the other things that matter in life. Steven Odendaal kept his family happy, kept his fitness up and running at 100% of my capabilities.   Q10 – How do you not be a robot during the process? You have to change it up every day, if you don’t want to ride a bike - you run. Follow the intervals, but I'm very self-motivated. Q11 How do injuries like your current bone infection affect your racing? It happens. This is one of the worst injuries. It wasn’t a simple pain killer. This has been a longer mental hurdle for me. I still have another operation. It puts me out for another month. This makes you think that this is your opportunity and not able to do what you love, it’s hard. But at the same time, it’s motivating. You’ve been given the time off and you want to give it your best. You lose your touch, not your talent. And this injury has been much more difficult. You can’t be back on the track on 2 weeks. It’s already taken 3 months and another month to go. I’ve never wanted to get back on the track this much. Q12 - How do you redirect your energy and motivation that was used for training? Being off my feet means I have to work on my mental strength. Trying to give myself the best mental chance and also working with psychiatrists. Focusing mentally. I realized how much I was missing in the past. This time off has given me time to think of that. Q13 - What can others do if they are finding themselves in a situation where they lose something? Reading. Being positive. Reading a book called 1 second ahead. Teaches you how to think before you speak. How much more information you can give, instead of giving someone your half-hearted to chat. Talking to your tech guy, if you give him more direct information, he will make better changes and it will affect your performance.    Q14 - Does this have a negative impact on falling? Normally he just brushes it off. Steven had one of his biggest crashes in February - and hit one of Stevens fastest times straight after. Q15 - How has your wife played a role? She loves what he does. Steven wears a ring around his finger. Not much has changed. Q16 - The fans play a role - how does it influence you? You want to give your 100% as a result of that. They make you want to put in that extra effort. Some gestures like clay models, picture frames, it’s so motivating. The people supporting the sport is amazing to have. Q17 - What’s your closing message for them? Thank you for all your support. If you put your mind to it, you can achieve it. Your support means the world.

Podcast with Host: Jai Shukla & Guest: Alexandra Schieren Q1 – What got you into motorsports and how did you turn that passion into a business? It was by accident in the mid-’90s when Alexandra Schieren saw an ad in the newspaper. It was a steep learning curve and that felt it suited her. Q2 – What was your educational background? Languages and economics. Alexandra was not made to work in PR, but learned by doing and got additional training over the years. It’s really about common sense.   Q3 – How is your PR agency different to others as you recently set one up? It’s hers and Alexandra Schieren PR has her own personal touch to it. Being in motorsports for long and in media, for long she knew a lot of media and her client typically would like to be better known so it made sense. Or it’s to manage their reputation which are two different aspects to it. Q4 – As a female in a male-dominated sport - how does it influence the way you work with people? Alexandra Schieren is not mad about the sport and she has kept a distance - this allows me to keep a neutral eye.That helped when she worked with FIA. Alexandra kept her favorites to herself.It’s easy to stand out which is an advantage too. Q5 - How did you know when it was the right time to start your business? During the time while I was at FIA. When the time was right was about 5 years ago. I had enough of traveling and being away from home - 6 months at a time. Going in and out of hotels. And then finally the trigger point was during 1 winter I looked at the picture and thought it looked familiar but it was a picture from the previous year and that’s when I knew. Q6 - How is it different to work for yourself compared to when you are working for others? Before you certain types of customers with a specific interest. Now it’s more all-rounded types of work for associations, and meeting the needs of the clients. Q7 - Who are the most troublesome people to work with? I only work with people I get a good feeling with. This freedom allows me to be picky. I’ve been very lucky. Q8 – PR has many facets - how do you manage it? Each client has different needs. It’s about managing their needs. There are different elements - company elements, sponsoring events, SM, etc. Q9 - Where do you get fulfillment from? When they are happy. Managing a successful event. And then it’s also about the journalists picking up on your stories. It’s hard to know if the circuit got attention directly because of your work. Q10 – Who have you worked with and how do they differ? Pirelli, FIA - they all have different needs. One interesting one was with IndyCar - they wanted to do a push in Europe. This was just very interesting for me - as it was fun to see different countries and events being amalgamated to create something new. Q11 How does crisis management work? I’ve been lucky to not have had to deal with that. Not a major one anyway. This may be because of the prevention of them in the first place but when I worked for the FIA - my boss had an issue with women - and that landed on the front page. There is also dealing with accidents...and it’s hard from emotional management. Tires which exploded was a bad one too. This was my job to understand what happened. This was very bad for the tire manufacturer and it’s important. Q12 - By working in different parts of motorsport - does it help? In smaller formula - you have to get more media coverage whereas Formula 1 - it’s about managing it. It’s not harder just different. Journalists are hard to sell for lower formulae. Q13 - Your interview with Will Buxton - two sides of the coin journalism and PR? They are complementary and help each other in an ideal world. Your side of the story is different from the one they want to hear or write about. The information should never be a lie. As you will be found out.   Q14 - What can PR do for a client or a company as many may not understand its importance? Yes, many people don’t understand it and therefore they think I don’t need it. An example is someone who wants to drive and not be in the limelight. So then it comes down to the fact that 5000 other drivers want your position and why should someone pick you and that’s where PR comes in. It’s about finding your USP and ensure everyone knows it. PR is about making sure what you want people to know about you is what they do know about you.

Podcast Guest: Joao Barbosa & Host: Jai Shukla Q1 – How did you get started in Racing? Joao Barbosa started at the age of 11 - which was the minimum age. Since then he begged his dad to get him a go-kart. A deal was made to get good grades - for a go-kart which he managed and then got. This was back in 1987.   Q2 – How did you get your initial funding? ‘Costs were much lower in those days and my dad helped me buy my first go-kart.’   Q3 – 1980s-2019 How has your viewpoint changed? Grew up watching Formula 1 and wanted to be a driver in that race. Without the funding - it was not really possible. Q4 – Do you think it’s harder to get sponsorship? Gamble in a kid, it’s not like you pick someone at the top when you’re a sponsor.   Q5 – What goes on behind the scenes? 24 hour Daytona coming up. So much work involved especially endurance racers. There is no offseason   Q6 – What is the procedure to prepare? It’s like lego - everything gets disassembled. Checks being done. All the pieces are analyzed and then with every minute detail, it’s tested. There is a lot of what if’s. Be ready to attack what if and that’s what preparation happens. Strategizing.   Q7 – What happens if you don’t get along with a driver or a manager? Everything is fixed on the inside. The driver is chosen based on being a team player. Needs experience in sharing the car. And Joao has been very fortunate - winning or losing they do it together. Making sure they have good chemistry and share the same goal   Q8 – How do you go about getting that chemistry? Gym, beach, run, workout - fishing trips - team bonding. After races having fun and relaxing. It’s what happens on the outside that allows them to perform on the job.   Q9 – How did you overcome your obstacles? There are a lot of obstacles. When racing in the US - he was trying all over the place and managed to get an opportunity. A lot of sacrifices when you're younger.   Q10 – Give me an example of a sacrifice? Raced in the US - living with the team, traveling with the crew, driving back and forth, living above the shop of the team, helping them in the shop. Helped develop the cars in the US too. It was a sacrifice. He started traveling when he was really young when your 13, 14 or 16-18 you want to spend time with your friends and be able to go clubbing.   Q11 – 5-10 years where do you see yourself and career? It’s a tough decision, it’s not going to last forever. Atm - he’s only focused on the team and doing the best by winning as many competitions as possible. By being in the best possible shape. 3 wins so far and get more.   Q12 – How do you stay in shape? Cadillac speeds are very high, mentally being in the base shape too. It’s a nonstop year-long program. Biking, running, coupling with that a personal trainer - working out shoulders and neck to handle the G forces. Stepping up a lot more this winter and getting in shape a lot faster. And as ready as I can be.

Podcast with Host: Jai Shukla & Guest: James Allen Q1 - You have a quote: 100% effort, one team, one dream. - Let's dig into each of these what does it mean to give 100%? Don’t leave anything on the table. James Allen has been someone who has had one dream since the age of 4! So pursuing something for a long time and trying to perfect your craft can’t be understated. Q2 - Where does your drive come from for new ideas to execute rather than thinking you’ve already given it your all? Try everything that you can think of and if that’s not enough then it’s not enough. Q3 - How important is it to find a good team? What level of difference does it make? How did you find yours? So important many people face so many issues but he believes he was so lucky when the first team he joined 5 years ago helped him out to become who he is today. Q4 - How did it transform into a real team? It was never a snap decision - the more you work together, they mentor and guide you. Straight up and honest with you are important qualities to look for. Q5 - When did you know this is what you wanted to do? Dad introduced him to GT when he was a kid. He begged and pleaded to buy him a go-kart and his father finally cracked when he was 13. Australian champion by the time he was 16 and then went onto Europe to Race Formula BMW and that was it! Q6 - What would you recommend to someone who wants to become a driver? Make moves - James Allen was in single-seaters for 3 years and made a switch to sports cars after that and got noticed. Don’t give up. Q7 - Training - what’s that like? Started doing a lot more cardio. 2.5 hours of cycling a week. Building more muscle for future races. Progressive training but you have to push yourself. To push yourself to be tired of how you would in the car and still try and be able to think about things when you are that tired. Q8 - What sort of decisions are you trying to be aware of while training? Keeping conscious, shift points, braking points, accelerating. Core stuff so he doesn’t fail and crash out. Q9 - What about Japanese - is that something you would be thinking during training? Ahaoi Gozaimas Q10 - What’s it like to be on the Le Mans track? Le Mans is where you are trying to stay awake and making sure you don’t fall asleep and back up in 3 hours. There’s pollen everywhere - it’s a nightmare for some people. It’s worse when you are trying to sleep when you can’t even breathe. Q11 - How do previous races affect your attitude towards the next ones? Initially, you are less confident. E.g. Alps or Eurocup - everyone was super aggressive and crashes on the first corner of every race. But with experience, you can relax and be a bit more patient. Q12 - Does your position affect your mindset? You want to beat your previous result when it comes to championships. Previous race just helps to build confidence. Whereas in a championship if you come 3rd you want to come 1st. Q13 - Do you think about your position and the pressure of it while driving? Should not think about the position, for me, it’s rarely at the forefront of my mind.

  HEY GUYS! In this week's podcast, we talk to Dr. Hedberg is the author of “The Complete Thyroid Health and Diet Guide” and the host of one of my favorite podcasts, “The Dr Hedberg Show”. I have been counting down the days until this interview because I am such a fan of his and it is a huge honor to get to speak to him. We received an OVERWHELMING number of questions for Dr. Hedberg so let's jump right in!!  Video VERSION: https://youtu.be/RnKtn3J0B08 Podcast: https://drhedberg.com/podcasts/ Book: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Thyroid-Health-Diet-Guide/dp/0778805042/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1532621524&sr=8-1&keywords=The+Complete+Thyroid+Health+and+Diet+Guide&dpID=51Hb06d2EqL&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch Q1 – 3:29  When I am eating super clean, my thyroid seems to function at a more optimal level. Do you think that there are certain foods that I should avoid, and certain foods I should try to eat a lot of when I am trying to regulate my thyroid? Q2 – 7:29  I got my bloodwork done, and my fasting blood sugar was at 108- is this something I should be concerned with? What is the recommended range for my blood sugar levels when I am fasting? Q3 – 8:32  I have rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, definitely have autoimmune issues! Are there any supplements you recommend to help with these? I feel like I am taking so many different supplements and I wonder if they are helping me, or are damaging my liver? I am currently taking: a probiotic, selenium, zinc, multivitamins, vitamin D, calcium, vitamin c, vitamin E, and vitamin A. Is this too much? Q4 - 13:22 I really enjoyed your last podcast about Adrenal Fatigue- I still don’t totally understand how the thyroid and adrenal glands are related- are they even related at all? How do I know for sure if I have adrenal fatigue? Q5 – 15:13  I was watching YOUTUBE and there was a video that said one of the reasons you could be constipated is because you don’t have enough bile in your system. Can you explain how this works? What could I do to fix it? Q6 – 17:57 I know that several guests on your podcast have talked about how a huge portion of your immune system resides in your gut, and it is so important to make sure my gut is functioning at a high capacity. Do you think that your gut and thyroid have a huge connection? I struggle with thyroid issues, and major constipation, and am trying to figure out how to heal my gut. Q7 - 21:42 I’ve been reading a lot of articles about leaky gut syndrome, and I have some issues with my thyroid and some skin issues like eczema and dermatitis. I’ve been reading a lot about candida and leaky gut and am trying to figure out which one I have. What do you think is the best solution for it? Q8 – 23:53 I have recently been reading a lot of articles on Candida and I definitely have all of the symptoms of candida. I know that I eat WAYY too much sugar. The problem is that when you have candida, it's ALL I CRAVE! In your book, you talk about how I shouldn’t deprive myself. So my issue is that I deprive myself of sugar because of my candida, and then I miss it so much and then I binge! How can I find the happy medium? Q9 – 25:08 I have listened to a couple of your podcasts with your experts and doctors and hear them talk about the conversion of T4, T3 – reverse T3- I still don’t understand it. Can you have someone come on your show and explain this in a very simple, non-technical way, so I can understand the differences in T4, T3, Reverse T3 and TSH, and what I should be looking for?   Q10 – 28:26 I have read some very conflicting articles about IODINE for thyroid hormone production. Some articles say if your thyroid isn’t functioning you should take more iodine- and other articles say Iodine will make your thyroid worse! So much contradicting information in what I read on Google- I am really hoping one of the doctors can answer for me! Q11 – 31:08 I went to a traditional Doctor and they told me that my TSH levels should be between .5 and 5. My thyroid was at a 4.5 when I took my test and I am absolutely exhausted. I talked to one of my friends and she told me that she feels the best when her thyroid is at 1 or below. That is when she feels like a million bucks and has tons of energy. I know that for me, a 4.5 makes me exhausted. Q12 – 33:02  I was listening to your podcast with Elle and she said that she does NOT like Synthroid, and prefers Nature Throid since it is natural. My Primary Care Physician would not prescribe me Nature Throid because she said most of the doctors give Synthroid instead. She really encouraged me to take Synthroid and not Nature Thyroid. Why do you think that is? Q13 – 35:16  Can you explain the difference between Armor Throid and Nature Thyroid? In your podcast with Elle, she recommended Nature Thyroid, but when I googled it, I read that both medicines contain 38 mcg of t4 and 9 mcg of t3- so how can they be that different? She never said why Nature Thyroid was better. Q14 – 36:33 I read a book by Aviva Romm MD, called “The Adrenal Thyroid Revolution”, and she said that 95% of Americans have been affected by Epstein Barr Virus, which is in the same family as herpes. She says that the EBV is a huge reason why you can get chronic fatigue, chronic aches and pains, and even Hashimotos. I am extremely tired, my muscles ache, sometimes so much that I can’t function. My Dr. has told me that I don’t have the Epstein Barr Virus right now, but it shows in my system that I have had it at one point. Can you expand on EBV and how it is healed? Q15 - 39:03 After listening to your podcast, I went to CVS and purchases several Blood Glucose Monitors, I wanted to have one in my purse, one in my office, and one at home, and to try a couple different brands. I got home and wanted to test them out, and I was surprised that I had different readings from each monitor. I took my blood four times, all within 20 seconds of each other, on different fingers. And these were the readings I received: 110, 82, 90, and 98. Is this as simple as a variation in the different brands? And if so, how do I know which reading was accurate? There is a big difference in a 82 and a 110! Did I do something wrong?   --------------------------------------- To learn more about the principles of intermittent fasting, purchase Chantel's book, Waist Away: The Chantel Ray Way NOW by visiting http://amzn.to/2CVmTgs YouTube Channel Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCteFjiVaY6n0SOAixcyZbWA Like us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/TheChantelRayWay     Things we love: https://chantelrayway.com/things-i-love-2/  Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheChantelRayWay
