Their philosophy is summed up with three simple words: Respect the Art.They discuss why posing deserves to be recognised as a craft in its own right, how presentation can transform an already impressive physique, and why they believe modern bodybuilding has lost some of the entertainment that made the sport's Golden Era so memorable.The conversation also takes us through their journey from in-person posing seminars to Posing Unvsty, their pioneering approach to online coaching, and the community they've created around posing.Inside The Posing GamesTaking place at Camberley Theatre, East Surrey, The Posing Games will feature 12 artists competing across a three-hour show, combining choreographed routines with freestyle head-to-head battles in the challenge round.Expect a production unlike a traditional bodybuilding show, with custom lighting, spotlights, dry ice, fireworks and foam fingers bringing each performance to life.October 11th - 1:00 PM start (doors open at 12:00 PM)
Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The Beyond Condition Podcast, Sarah Parker explores the often-overlooked psychological side of bodybuilding contest prep and peak week - and why extreme leanness can affect far more than your physique.What happens to your mind when you're pushing your body to its absolute limits?As body fat drops, the body doesn't understand that you're preparing for a competition. It simply recognises that energy availability is falling and begins fighting to protect itself. Combined with hormonal changes, hunger, fatigue and reduced recovery, this can create brain fog, forgetfulness, mood swings, irrational thinking, self-doubt and decision fatigue.Sarah explains why rigid structure during contest prep isn't about making life difficult - it's a survival and performance strategy. The key is creating that structure early, building recovery into the plan and making decisions before cognitive capacity begins to decline.The conversation goes particularly deep into peak week, when physical activity often decreases but the psychological pressure can increase. With fewer tasks to focus on, athletes can become vulnerable to overthinking, comparison, doom-scrolling and second-guessing their preparation.Sarah shares her own extraordinary Miss Universe peak-week experience, when an unexpected qualification meant arranging international travel, taking a 10-hour flight while stage lean, rescheduling clients and organising an entire competition trip with virtually no preparation time - ultimately going on to win the title.The lesson? You can't control everything that happens during prep, but you can control how prepared you are to deal with the unexpected.In this episode, we explore:• The psychological effects of extreme leanness • Why contest prep is essentially controlled starvation • Hormonal changes and prep-induced fatigue • Brain fog, mood swings and decision fatigue • Why athletes experience irrational thoughts during prep • Creating structure from the beginning of competition prep • Why recovery must be part of your prep plan including, sleep, naps, massage, yoga and downtime • Using weekly step averages to manage unexpected commitments • Why one disrupted day doesn't mean you've failed prep • Peak week psychology and reduced activity • The dangers of overthinking and comparison • Doom-scrolling during peak week • Managing the night before a bodybuilding competition • Creating show-day rituals and routines • Sarah's unexpected Miss Universe peak week • Managing international travel while stage lean • The importance of support networks • Why asking for help isn't weakness • Preparing your competition logistics 8–10 weeks in advance • Travel, accommodation, tanning, hair, makeup and bikini planning • Using your coach as your "second set of eyes" • How to stop second-guessing and simply execute • Identifying what you're actually stressed aboutThe leaner you become, the more important your systems become.Your future self won't have the same energy, patience or cognitive capacity that you have at the beginning of prep - so prepare everything you possibly can before you need it.Structure isn't there to make prep harder.It's there to make the hardest part of prep easier.And when things inevitably go wrong, remember:Control what you can. Ask for help. Adapt. Keep moving forward.Watch this episode here: https://youtu.be/PLJwipdagKMFind Sarah on Instagram: @sarahparker_bbTHE ULTIMATE SHOW DAY GUIDE E-BOOK: Purchase hereBeyond Condition Coaching Application: Click here
Send us Fan MailWelcome back to The Beyond Condition Podcast! I'm your host, Sarah Parker, and today I'm joined by Master's Mr Olympia, Dorian Haywood.What does it take to stay in bodybuilding for nearly three decades when the wins don't come?In this episode, we sit down with IFBB Pro and coach Dorian Haywood, whose extraordinary bodybuilding journey spans 29 years, more than 80 competitions, countless setbacks and ultimately a Masters Olympia victory in Japan in 2024.Dorian's story began in 1997 as an 86-pound high school wrestler looking to gain weight. At just 17 years old, he entered his first bodybuilding competition weighing 136 lbs — and finished last.Fast forward through 16 years of amateur competition, around 40 shows and 11 Nationals, and Dorian finally earned his IFBB Pro card at the 2016 Nationals in Miami as Super Heavyweight Champion.But becoming a professional wasn't the end of the journey.After turning pro, Dorian experienced a nine-year winless streak before achieving back-to-back victories at the Daytona Beach Masters Pro and, ultimately, the 2024 Masters Olympia - a moment he describes as an almost spiritual, out-of-body experience.This episode goes far beyond competition results. Dorian discusses the mental resilience required to keep showing up after repeated losses, why the real competition is with yourself, and how learning to focus on the process rather than the placing transformed his career.We also explore the evolution of bodybuilding, the impact of social media, the growing and often unregulated coaching industry, and what it really takes to build a successful coach-athlete relationship.Dorian shares the powerful story of his nine-year relationship with his late coach Dave Callick, who coached him through 24 of 26 competitions before passing his knowledge and trust on to Ariel Cutts. Just eight months after beginning that new relationship, Dorian and Ariel won the Masters Olympia together.For Dorian, coaching isn't simply about building physiques. It's about creating a legacy - carrying forward the lessons, knowledge and influence of the coaches who helped shape him.In this episode, we explore:• Dorian Haywood's 29-year bodybuilding journey • Going from 86 lbs as a high school wrestler to Masters Olympia Champion • Competing in his first bodybuilding show at just 17 • Losing for years and developing mental resilience • Earning his IFBB Pro card after 16 years as an amateur • Dorian's nine-year winless streak as a professional • Winning the 2024 Masters Olympia in Japan • Why the true competition is with yourself • Process vs. placement and redefining success • The evolution of competitive bodybuilding • The impact of social media on bodybuilding and coaching • The challenges of an unregulated coaching industry • Dorian's relationship with his late coach Dave Callick • Working with Ariel Cutts and winning the Masters Olympia • What makes a successful coach-athlete relationship • Dorian's coaching philosophy and client selection • Building a legacy through coaching • Knowing when to say no to a client • Why results matter more than the size of a coaching rosterNearly 30 years in the sport. More than 80 competitions. Countless losses. Two incredible wins. One Masters Olympia title.Dorian's story is a reminder that your journey isn't defined by how many times you win - it's defined by whether you keep becoming better.The true competition is with yourself.Find Dorian on Instagram @dorianhaywood.masters.mr.oWatch the episode here: https://youtu.be/aLYxGaOufkoFind Sarah on Instagram: @sarahparker_bbTHE ULTIMATE SHOW DAY GUIDE E-BOOK: Purchase hereBeyond Condition Coaching Application: Click here
Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The Beyond Condition Podcast, Sarah Parker shares her first experience attending a Pure Elite competition as a coach, alongside long-term client Dee, who competed in the Transformation category.What does it really take to step onto a bodybuilding stage when you've already overcome some of the biggest challenges of your life?Dee's journey is about far more than physique transformation. Having overcome drug and alcohol dependency, she took her fitness journey to the next level, through finding The Beyond Condition Podcast and began a journey that eventually led her to bodybuilding. After a previous prep was postponed following a health scare, Sarah made the decision to prioritise Dee's wellbeing and wait until 2026 - proving that sometimes the best coaching decision is knowing when not to compete.At Pure Elite, Dee entered the Transformation category, where competitors not only showcase their physical transformation but also share their personal story through a projected image and narration. For Sarah, this created a powerful reminder of what bodybuilding and fitness can represent beyond placings and trophies.The episode also takes listeners behind the scenes of three very different bodybuilding competitions - an IFBB Pro Qualifier in Denmark, an NPA Natural show and Pure Elite - comparing backstage environments, coach involvement, athlete support and the very different experiences competitors can have depending on their federation and circumstances.Sarah also discusses one of her core coaching principles: stay in your lane. Knowing your experience, being honest with your athletes and understanding when you need to learn or refer someone elsewhere are essential parts of being a good coach.And once the competition is over, what should you actually eat?Sarah shares her approach to post-show nutrition and recovery, including why rehydration should come first, why planning your post-show meal matters and why athletes often regret feeling pressured to immediately eat everything in sight.In this episode, we explore:• Dee's incredible transformation journey • Overcoming addiction and discovering bodybuilding • Why Sarah postponed Dee's previous competition prep • The Pure Elite Transformation category • Why transformation is about more than a placing • Sarah's first Pure Elite experience as a coach • Comparing three very different competition environments • IFBB Pro Qualifier experiences • Natural bodybuilding competition backstage dynamics • Coach presence and athlete support backstage • Why coaches need to "stay in their lane" • Being honest about your experience as a coach • Why coaches should support rather than compete against each other • Managing realistic expectations around competition placings • Why coaches can't guarantee results • Supporting anxious athletes on show day • Post-show hydration and nutrition • Why you shouldn't feel pressured to binge immediately after competing • Planning your post-show meal in advance • The difference between finishing a season and preparing for another showA competition isn't just about the trophy.Sometimes it's about proving to yourself that you're capable of doing something you once believed was impossible.And sometimes the biggest win happens long before you ever step on stage.This is bodybuilding beyond the condition.Watch the episode here: https://youtu.be/DNlQ4pN4T6YFind Sarah on Instagram: @sarahparker_bbTHE ULTIMATE SHOW DAY GUIDE E-BOOK: Purchase hereBeyond Condition Coaching Application: Click here
Send us Fan MailWelcome back to The Beyond Condition Podcast! I'm your host, Sarah Parker, and today I'm joined by my good friend, Matt Holdcroft.What happens when the battle with food becomes stronger than the desire to change?In this powerful and deeply honest episode, Matt shares his extraordinary journey from weighing nearly 400lbs to stepping onto a bodybuilding stage - a transformation sparked by a near-fatal illness, an induced coma and a surgeon's blunt warning that he had just 10 years to live.Matt opens up about his history with food addiction, emotional eating, secret bingeing and the psychological cycle of depression and overeating, explaining why food addiction can be so difficult to overcome when food is an unavoidable part of everyday life.His journey wasn't without major obstacles. During his first bodybuilding prep, Matt required emergency bowel surgery just seven weeks before his competition. The physical and psychological challenges of losing a huge amount of weight - and then navigating life after the show - reveal why transformation doesn't end when you step on stage.The conversation also explores one of the most important and often neglected parts of competitive bodybuilding: the post-show and rebound phase. For someone with a history of food addiction, the period after competition can be particularly dangerous. We discuss why post-show coaching should continue, why communication with your coach is essential when things go off-plan, and why the day of the competition is actually only the halfway point.In this episode, we explore:• Matt's transformation from nearly 400lbs to competitive bodybuilder • Surviving a near-fatal illness and being placed on ECMO • The surgeon's warning that changed everything • Food addiction and emotional eating • Binge eating, secret eating and decision fatigue • The psychological cycle of depression and overeating • Can fitness addiction replace food addiction? • The physical and psychological reality of bodybuilding prep • Emergency surgery during competition preparation • Loose skin removal and rebuilding after major weight loss • Post-show rebound and the risks of food addiction returning • Why post-show coaching is just as important as competition prep • Why coaches need to be honest about whether a client is ready to compete • Why first-time competitors shouldn't rush into high-level shows • The importance of communication between athlete and coach • When therapy may be needed alongside bodybuilding coachingYour transformation doesn't end when you reach the stage.For many athletes, the real test begins when the structure of prep disappears.This is an honest conversation about weight loss, food addiction, bodybuilding, mental resilience, coaching and what it really takes to create lasting change.Find Matt on Instagram @matt_holdcroft @quarterturnnutritionWatch the episode here: https://youtu.be/ARohf9jQ3RIFind Sarah on Instagram: @sarahparker_bbTHE ULTIMATE SHOW DAY GUIDE E-BOOK: Purchase hereBeyond Condition Coaching Application: Click here
Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The Beyond Condition Podcast, Sarah Parker takes an honest look at the reality of bodybuilding judging, competition placings and the mindset required to compete successfully.What do bodybuilding judges actually see when you step on stage - and what don't they see?Every athlete arrives at a show with a story. Months of dieting, sacrifices, anxiety, relationship breakdowns, personal struggles, injuries and everything they've overcome to make it to the stage. But when the judges assess your physique, they aren't judging your story - they're judging what you present on that day.Sarah explains how judges evaluate athletes within a limited window, focusing on factors such as physique, conditioning, symmetry, posing and presentation, according to the criteria of the federation.The episode explores why athletes need to develop the resilience to separate their self-worth from their competition results. A difficult prep doesn't earn extra points. Nerves don't change the judging criteria. Problems backstage or on show day don't alter the score.Sarah also shares her own experience of deciding to divorce just four weeks before a competition, knowing that the emotional impact meant she wouldn't bring her best physique to the stage - but choosing to compete anyway and accept the outcome.This is a conversation about taking responsibility, accepting what you cannot control and using feedback as a tool for growth rather than looking for someone to blame.In this episode, we explore:• How bodybuilding judging actually works • What judges can and cannot assess • Why your personal struggles don't affect your placing • The importance of physique, conditioning, posing and presentation • Dealing with nerves and anxiety on stage • Developing resilience after a disappointing result • Why blaming judges, coaches or federations won't move you forward • How to use constructive feedback to improve • Separating your self-worth from your competition placing • Preparing mentally for bodybuilding competitions • Why posing needs to become automatic • Practising under realistic stage conditions • Visualisation and preparing for the competition venue • The importance of getting judges' feedback after a show • Why the journey matters even when you don't winYour placing is a snapshot of what you presented on one particular day.It doesn't measure your sacrifice. It doesn't measure what you've overcome. And it doesn't determine your worth.Control what you can. Accept what you cannot. And compete for yourself.Because ultimately, the most important competition isn't against the athlete standing next to you.It's against the person you were yesterday.Watch the episode: https://youtu.be/It01ZygPOWgFind Sarah on Instagram: @sarahparker_bbTHE ULTIMATE SHOW DAY GUIDE E-BOOK: Purchase hereBeyond Condition Coaching Application: Click here
Send us Fan MailWelcome Back to The Beyond Condition Podcast. I'm your host, Sarah Parker, and today we have 2 legends of the bodybuilding world, Helle Trevino and Gina Cavaliero, joining us.What happens when the competition ends?In this episode, Helle and Gina go beyond the stage to explore the side of bodybuilding that often gets overlooked: the psychological, hormonal and emotional journey that comes with preparing for competition, coming out of a show, and eventually stepping away from the sport.They challenge the idea that bodybuilding causes eating disorders or body dysmorphia, arguing that the sport often exposes issues that were already there - while also giving athletes structure, discipline, nutritional knowledge and tools for personal growth.The conversation dives deep into post-show blues, hormonal recovery, the loss of routine and identity after competition, and the often-overlooked importance of a properly managed transition into the off-season. They also discuss why coaching shouldn't end when an athlete walks off stage, and how year-round guidance can make the difference between progressing sustainably and losing years to ineffective training, nutrition and recovery.Helle also opens up about her own journey through competitive retirement, finding a new purpose beyond placings, and discovering the freedom that comes with no longer chasing stage conditioning.From pressure and mindset to coaching, retirement, relationships and personal transformation, this is a conversation about what it really takes to build a healthy, resilient athlete - and an identity that exists beyond bodybuilding.In this episode, we explore:• Post-show depression and the importance of structure• Hormonal and physiological recovery after competition• Why post-show tapering matters• The psychological challenges of competitive retirement• Bodybuilding, eating disorders and body dysmorphia• The importance of year-round coaching and off-season development• Building identity beyond stage placings• Productive pressure vs. destructive pressure• Why coaches need to be the athlete's voice of reason• Finding purpose, resilience and freedom beyond competitionBecause bodybuilding isn't just about what happens on stage. The real transformation happens in everything that comes after it.Connect with The Transformation Company

Send us Fan MailIn this solo episode, Sarah Parker breaks down the most common mistakes she sees both first-time and experienced competitive bodybuilders make throughout the entire prep journey - from choosing the right coach to navigating mindset, relationships, nutrition, posing, peak week and show day.Sarah shares practical lessons from her own competitive experience, including why you should always have a consultation and 'vibe check' before committing to a coach, why your posing coach can be just as important as your prep coach, and how to avoid becoming overly obsessive with food preparation.She also dives into the mental side of bodybuilding, including dealing with comparison, negative self-talk and the impact prep can have on relationships. You'll hear why communicating with the people around you before prep starts can make a huge difference - and why changing “I have to” into “I get to” can completely shift your mindset.The episode also covers the realities of sugar-free products, food-related neuroticism, posing preparation, show-day logistics and the truth about peak week and post-show recovery.

Have you ever found yourself trying to balance the needs of your eating disorder, your treatment team, your family, and somewhere in the middle of all of that, completely losing sight of yourself? This episode is for you.This week on the Full of Beans Podcast, I'm joined by Sarah Parker, a psychotherapist based in West Yorkshire, who brings both professional expertise in eating disorder therapy and her own lived experience of fifteen years of anorexia.Sarah knows firsthand how people pleasing can keep you stuck in recovery, doing all the right things, saying all the right things, but doing it for everyone else rather than for yourself. That can be motivating to start with, but after time, motivation can fade and a true commitment to recovery is required.In this episode, we explore:Sarah's own experience of anorexia and what kept her stuck for so longSarah's experience of detainment, tube feeding, and how collaboration changed thisHow people pleasing shaped Sarah's experience of treatmentWhy bringing out the rebel can be more supportive than praising compliance in recoveryThe difference between motivation and commitment in eating disorder recoveryWhy commitment helps long-term recovery more than motivationHow to keep going on the days when every part of you is telling you not toWhy anger can actually be a sign that recovery is workingThe role of compassion in recoveryConnect with Us:Subscribe to the Full of Beans PodcastFollow Full of Beans on InstagramCheck out our websiteListen on YouTubeConnect with Sarah via her website or on Instagram (@wellofbeing13)⚠️ Content Note: This episode includes discussion of eating disorders, anorexia, detainment and tube feeding.

You'll Learn [02:56] The story of Chance the dog [11:09] What does this have to do with running a business? [18:39] Jason and Sarah's foster dogs Tweetables “You will look back on this as being such an easy thing for you to deal with in the present moment.” “If you're going to go through tough stuff, it's a lot better to have the right support around you.” “You're going to make mistakes, but that's the price of tuition in business.” “We're all doing the best we can with our current limited capacity and knowledge that we possessed in that moment.” Resources DoorGrow and Scale Mastermind DoorGrow Academy DoorGrow on YouTube DoorGrowClub DoorGrowLive TalkRoute Referral Link Transcript [00:00:00] Sarah: If this dog can go through everything that he went through and still push through, whatever is happening in your business, whatever is happening in your life, whatever is happening in your marriage, in your friendships, in your relationships, you can push through it.

[00:01:18] And now let's get into the show. All right So we were thinking what we should talk about today and one of Sarah's strong passions Is dogs. I think Sarah likes dogs more than people. Is that fair? [00:01:34] Sarah: That's accurate. [00:01:35] Jason: Okay, she's an intj. Any of you that are familiar with myers briggs intjs typically like animals more than people. I don't know why, and I like dogs too, so not a fan of cats I'm allergic to them and I think they're smelly. [00:01:51] Sorry, all you cat lovers out there, but I'm more of a dog person. You can see in the background here is. Hey buddy, who's smelling around. This is a dog that we're fostering right now. And the working title for this dog is Hans. That's they give them names, but this is a dog we're fostering and it's such a sweet dog. [00:02:13] And so I wanted, this is a passion of Sarah's. We've been fostering some dogs and we've had, had some difficult times fostering dogs and we've had some good times, you know, let's, should we talk about our first foster? [00:02:27] Sarah: Yeah. Yeah. If that didn't turn us off to fostering... [00:02:31] it was like worst case scenario, I would say. [00:02:35] Jason: So Sarah's dog, one of our dogs, he's a large dog and he's a Pitbull. American. [00:02:44] Sarah: He's an American Pitbull. American Pitbull. [00:02:45] Jason: Terrier. 100%. We got him DNA tested, purebred. And then we have another little mutt that we can talk about that we got. [00:02:53] Sarah: That we adopted. Well, that one was after the whole Chance thing. [00:02:56] Jason: Yeah, totally. So we decided to, like foster, we brought a dog in and this dog's name was Chance and he was a pit bull. We thought maybe they'd get along but we didn't know Chance's background. We didn't know Chance's history. The previous people made it sound like he was a good dog sort of, but they really, I think we're kind of keeping secrets from us and gave us a bunch of rules. [00:03:21] Like, be careful with other dogs and like separate for a while and we did everything [00:03:25] Sarah: that's always the rule. [00:03:26] Jason: Sure. [00:03:26] Sarah: Careful with other dogs be separate for a while. Slow introductions. Never feed together. That's yeah, those are always the rules. You say that as if that was like a red flag. [00:03:35] That was not a red flag. [00:03:36] Jason: Okay. [00:03:37] Sarah: They tell you that with every dog. [00:03:38] Jason: They had to have known that this dog had some violent tendencies or some history. So long story short, this dog bit Sarah. They gaslit us and blamed, it bit her arm. And they were like, "oh, well, there was food involved" or something like this. [00:03:53] We're like, okay, maybe it was us. We'll be more careful. So we still kept the dog. And we had the dog for like a month. [00:04:00] Sarah: We struggled with that too. Because we really, we, right then and there, we thought, okay. I think we're done. I think he's got to go back. Someone else can foster him. [00:04:08] Yeah. And they kind of talked us into it. Like, "oh, well, can you just hang on to him until I find another place for him to go? Because like, nobody can take him right now." [00:04:18] Jason: I don't think there's any safe place for them to go. So later. At this point later, it had been a month, we had integrated the dogs, they were hanging out, they're on the couch together, like it didn't seem to be a problem. [00:04:31] It was kind of, but I think really was like a working truce or something. I think this dog had a history of maybe being involved in dog fights, something like this would be my guess. Because some dogs will usually get together. And they'll do a little bit of have a little tiff, but they're not trying to kill each other, right? [00:04:48] They'll, like, bite, they'll do something, they'll give a warning, and they'll be done with it. So, I had come home from a walk, Parker came up to me, I played with him a little bit, he did a little playful sort of growl with a toy or whatever, the other dog gets off the couch. This dog had no expression. He's just headed towards Parker. [00:05:07] Parker saw him and it was like, it was on and saw him coming towards me. And they just locked up and they got into this horrible dog fight. Like, and we have a long entryway into our home, like a big hallway, like entryway that runs kind of all the way to the back of the house almost. [00:05:26] Right. And this was. in our family room towards the back of the house and the fight continued all the way to the front door. Like it was just, it was a disaster. This dog Chance and Parker were fighting and we were trying to break it up. Sarah was on with Parker trying to pull him and I was trying to get Chance off and Sarah, you were freaking out if you don't mind me saying. [00:05:51] [00:05:51] Sarah: I mean, yeah. Like, rightfully so. [00:05:54] Jason: Yeah. She's freaking out. And so it, yeah it was interesting. So there's blood everywhere. Blood flying all over the place, dogs are locked up and fighting, biting at each other and so then I, yeah. You know, if I had my gun or knife on me, dog probably would be dead. [00:06:09] I couldn't figure out what else to do. And we weren't going to let him kill our dog. And he was much stronger than Parker. So, we didn't want Parker to die. Right. So, but what I did in that moment is I was like, I had done a little bit of jujitsu training in the past. So I was like, Oh, I'm going to choke him out. [00:06:26] I was trying to, I first tried to lift the legs up. Cause that's what people say. I didn't, that wasn't really a great idea because I lift his back legs up and to try and pull him off. And he just turned and latched onto my leg. He turned really quickly, latched onto my leg, bit my leg through my pants. I have permanent bite mark on my right leg and had latched on my leg. [00:06:49] through my pants and was biting me. Then Parker was coming at him. So he turned back to Parker. And then I use that moment when he came at my leg towards me to get my arm underneath his neck and then to choke him out, just like in martial arts. So I did a blood choke and I figured he's probably got veins going through his neck to his brain, just like all of us humans. [00:07:13] And it choked him out. And then He passed out. I was holding him in my arm and I picked him up and was choking him out because he eventually released Parker and I was choking him out. I'm holding this limp dog in my arm. And then his Parker was latched onto one of his legs or something. And Sarah was like, "what do I do? What do I do? He won't let go!" And I was like, Sarah has a martial arts background, so I figured you knew how to do a choke. So I was like, "choke him out. You got to choke him out!" So she had to grab Parker and get him to release. And and he did. Parker really was trying to protect us. That was obvious. [00:07:52] But Parker was losing, like it wasn't going well for him. Parker, the other dog had some bites on him, but he was okay. But Parker had to go to the hospital. Like he was really messed up. He had to get surgery. His ear was like torn in half. Yeah, his [00:08:09] Sarah: ear was torn and then he had a chunk ripped out of his neck. [00:08:13] Like the back of his neck. Yeah, it was ugly. Yeah, it was not good. [00:08:16] Jason: So, while I had Chance in the choke hold and limp, I carried him through the house to the backyard and put him into the backyard. And shut the door so we could just keep them separate. And then, yeah, we were just, I was totally scared of that dog after that. [00:08:33] But that's what we did. And eventually I think we just got him into a crate or something. So he wasn't in the backyard. [00:08:39] Sarah: Yeah. No, I had to go get him. [00:08:41] Jason: Yeah. [00:08:42] Sarah: Into the crate. Because he was like, I don't think he's going to want to see me. I just choked him out. No. No, that's probably a good call. [00:08:48] Jason: He probably wouldn't want to attack me. Yeah. Because I was pretty rough with him. So, that's my adventure in choking out a pit bull. Yeah. [00:08:58] Sarah: So I think you never really know what you're going to do until you're like in the moment. [00:09:02] Jason: Yeah. [00:09:03] Sarah: And then your adrenaline kicks in and sometimes you know what you're going to do or you think you know what you're going to do ahead of time and you find out there's no plan. [00:09:12] There's no plan. And the they do tell you like, oh, lift the dog's hind legs over its head and it will release. Yes, and [00:09:20] two out of two times it released and then latched on to. [00:09:25] Jason: Yeah, they don't like that it's being lifted up. [00:09:27] Sarah: No. [00:09:27] Jason: So, I mean, that was an interesting moment because I went into tunnel vision. [00:09:31] This is how guys brains work. We're generally singular focused. This is why they send us to war, right? We can just focus on one thing. So I wasn't really particularly traumatized by the event. I mean, it was, but I was like, okay, I'm in mission mode. I'm doing what I need to do with the dog and that's it. [00:09:47] Yeah. And then we got to clean up because there's blood everywhere, all through our home. Yeah, it was like a freaking emergency. Walls, everywhere. It was awful. There's blood everywhere. [00:09:53] Sarah: Everywhere. And then I was covered in it. Because I was holding [00:09:57] Jason: Parker and I had a white t shirt and then [00:09:59] Sarah: when we like I got Parker in the office and Chance was outside because Jason put him out there and Jason looked at me and I'm literally like from here down I was just drenched. [00:10:12] Jason: You were holding Parker and he was the more wounded. Drenched. Yeah. [00:10:15] Sarah: And he's going "oh my god. Oh my god." He's like, "Sarah, there's freaking blood" It's not mine. It's not mine. Like, I'm okay. I lost my pinky nail. That got ripped off. So for a while I had no pinky nail that, that was not fun. [00:10:27] Jason: Like your actual nail. [00:10:28] Sarah: Like my actual, everybody says, okay. [00:10:30] Let me clear something up. Everybody says, Oh, those aren't real nails. These are real. These are actually attached to my real nails on my finger. So like underneath you can kind of see, [00:10:41] Jason: yeah, there's like, [00:10:42] Sarah: there are real nails here. And then yes, I make them longer, but it's not just a tip. Like if you pull off one of these nails, it is attached to your real nail and your real nail will come off with it. [00:10:55] Jason: You had a flesh pinky, like there was no nail for a while. Yeah. Yeah. It was kind of odd. [00:11:00] Sarah: Yeah, it was horrible. Yeah that, that was awful. [00:11:03] Jason: Yeah, and it took a while for my bite mark to heal. So, yeah. So, so that was our first adventure. [00:11:09] Sarah: Let me pause here and say, cause I know some of you guys are going, "why the freaking hell are they talking about any of this? It sounds awful. And it's like, oh my God, I don't even want to keep listening to the episode." Keep listening. Because I think one of the things that I would say about particularly about this situation that we had to go through is sometimes in life, sometimes also in business, you gotta go through some shit. [00:11:34] And you're going to be in some situations that you definitely did not plan for, that you've never been in before, and that Maybe you don't know what to do, and in the moment, the only thing you can do is whatever comes to your mind, whatever you can think of, and then, it's afterwards, then there's the PTSD, so then you just have to heal from the PTSD, but I also would say it's fair that every entrepreneur has a little PTSD from their business. [00:12:07] Jason: Yeah, for sure. [00:12:08] Sarah: Yeah [00:12:09] Jason: Well, because entrepreneurs we take bigger risks. We get to experience you know issues like cash flow problems or staffing issues or team members that losing faith in us and leaving or team members stealing from us, right? [00:12:24] Sarah: Having to fire somebody. [00:12:25] Jason: If you're working for a boss you don't generally have to experience a lot of this stuff that you experience as a business owner. We're choosing into a higher level of stress, trauma, difficulty, which is why it's not for everybody when not everybody starts a business. And but yeah, it's important to heal from these things and to level up from these things and learn from these things so that you can get to that next level of capacity to be able to deal with that next level of stress that exists in business. And I tell clients this all the time. [00:12:55] They're currently dealing with some problem they think is so hard and they're at kind of a lower level and I tell them, someday, you will look back on this as being such an easy thing for you to deal with in the present moment, you'll be like, Oh man, I can't believe that was so hard for me then. I'm dealing with such bigger challenges and bigger level, higher level things now. And that's encouraging for them. They're like, Oh, that's good news. They're like, and they know they're like, yeah, someday this will be easy. I'm like, someday, this hiring stuff will be easy. Someday this, you know, process stuff that you're dealing with will be easy. [00:13:29] Because you're going to increase your capacity. You're going to learn, you're going to level up. It's the price of tuition and business. So let me take a quick break. I'm going to share our sponsor for this episode, which is Vendoroo.

I was actually, we were hanging out with the Vendoroo guys and I was telling them the story. Because we were telling them how we were fostering a dog and we had to get home, you know, from dinner. [00:14:29] And then they were, we somehow shifted in that story and they were just like, so interested. So, but yeah, so if you want to check out DoorGrow. com, we actually just put this up yesterday because we've been fostering and taking care of dogs and our team are really excited about this. I had the idea with one of my team members, we did a secret project. [00:14:51] Yeah, because we knew Sarah would probably like it. So we put up a dog page. So you can see the dogs that we've like, fostered. I don't think we put Chance on the page. Did we? I don't think we put Chance on the page. [00:15:03] Sarah: No, we didn't. No. Chance was not a great story. But Parker isn't on there either. And Parker is the OG. [00:15:09] Jason: Parker's the OG. We can add Parker. [00:15:11] Sarah: Parker's like the mascot of everything. [00:15:14] Jason: So, anyway, check that out right at the top, you'll see a little dog emoji and it says dogs on our website. And you can see, you know, a little bit of the passion we have for helping out dogs. All right. So we told the story of Chance. [00:15:27] And you would think after that we would be done. And I think we were for a little while. It was like, yeah, kind of free, especially for you to like, get past the PTSD of that. You beat yourself up quite a bit about it, which you can be good at times, right? [00:15:43] Sarah: I'm really, yeah. Yeah. Because on the DISC profile, I'm a DC, so I'm super critical of everything and everyone, including myself. [00:15:54] Yeah. [00:15:54] So yeah. [00:15:56] Jason: Which good operators are hard time. [00:15:58] Sarah: And hard time with that. And I, like I, I internalized a lot of that. I took blame for a lot of that and I had to just kind of work, work my way through that. And it kind of goes back to anytime that you deal with a hard situation, it might be in business or otherwise, you know, you're going to reflect on the situation and some people are really good at externalizing and saying like, none of that was my fault. [00:16:25] You know, I have like no ownership in that whatsoever. Some of people, they take all of the ownership and are really bad at externalizing. So I think you have to kind of find the middle ground. Like what am I responsible for? What am I accountable for? You know, how can I learn? I'm going to learn from that. [00:16:43] And for me it was the, it hands down, it was the scariest moment of my life. Most terrifying moment of my entire life. And I've been in some pretty scary situations back when I did property management. This puts it to shame, absolute shame. But I think it's really just, it's finding the middle ground and figuring out what am I responsible for and how can I learn. [00:17:06] Jason: I think also, I think that some people are kinder to themselves and have more grace for themselves. And I think it's important to remember, like all of us have been through tough stuff and we may beat ourselves up for it, but beating ourselves up doesn't really have any saving power. It doesn't make us better to beat ourselves up. [00:17:26] What we can do though, is we can recognize, you know, in that moment. And based on the decisions we made we were making the best decisions we knew to make at that time And I think you know, we can all afford ourselves a little bit of grace. You're going to make mistakes and screw things up in business. [00:17:41] You're going to fuck up and you're going to make bad choices. I've made some big mistakes like in business. You know, I did a whole episode on my two million dollar mistake or whatever you're going to make mistakes, but that's the price of tuition in business and you keep going. But I think also we need to be willing to afford ourselves some grace and recognize we're all doing the best we can with our current limited capacity and knowledge that we possessed in that moment. [00:18:08] And so if you knew better, you would do better, right? We are definitely going to behave differently having had that lesson with Chance with other dogs, right? We're a little bit more attuned to their behavior. their temperament, like how to integrate them. Like we're paying more attention. [00:18:25] Like we just, we have a different level of awareness and that's what happens in business. If you can move past the trauma and the difficulty and you go right back at it, you pick yourself back up. You dust yourself off. You're going to learn from the experience. So should we talk about some other dogs real quick? [00:18:42] All right. Who else? Well, let's first, let's go to the OG, right? So Parker's my baby. Parker is the best dog I've ever had. And I don't know if there's ever going to be a dog that is better than Parker. I just don't, I said that about my first pit bull and then Parker, I love him so much more than my first pit bull. [00:19:01] . So Parker, I got him 2016, so he's like eight now. And he his mom was a family pet who got out of the yard one day and got herself pregnant. So she went, had a good old time. Her owner found out that she was pregnant and decided to drop her off at the pound because he didn't want a pregnant dog. [00:19:25] Sarah: So, you know, instead of like spay, neuter, that whole thing, he's like, yeah, I'll just take her to the pound. [00:19:29] Jason: Let's get rid of her. [00:19:30] Like, while pregnant. [00:19:32] Sarah: Still going to find you, bud. Like you're out there, I'll get you one day. So dropped her off at the pound. Pregnant dogs should not be at the pound. They will, you know. [00:19:40] Get very sick. So, they moved her to a foster. She had a bunch of puppies and Parker was one of those puppies. So I saved him and he's my baby. He's fiercely loyal and protective of me, even when he probably shouldn't be. Sometimes with Jason, he's protective of me. Like you'll smack my butt, and Parker does not like that. [00:20:04] Jason: I do smack Sarah's butt butt, everybody. Honest confessions. Husbands, if you are not smacking your wife's butt occasionally, something's wrong. Letting you know. So. [00:20:15] Sarah: Yeah. But Parker doesn't know. He doesn't know that. He doesn't know it's friendly and playful and loving. No. He knows hitting is bad. [00:20:21] I [00:20:22] Jason: have to do it when he's not nearby. [00:20:24] Sarah: Yeah. To be fair, I can't hit myself either, so, like, if a bug lands on me or something, I hit myself. [00:20:30] Jason: Yeah, he starts getting around you and, like, trying to, like, climb on you and, like, protect you from yourself, yeah. [00:20:36] Sarah: He does. [00:20:37] Jason: And he'll get, try and get in between us and, like, prevent me from getting near her, yeah. [00:20:41] He does. [00:20:42] Sarah: He does. So Parker was the first dog that I had ever rescued. [00:20:45] Jason: He's like a nanny dog. [00:20:46] Sarah: He is a nanny dog. We call him the nanny dog. He is. And we say, when he's doing his thing, I'm like, oh, he's nanny dogging again. Yeah. So, Parker, we've got Parker. And then after the whole Chance thing, we took a break for about eight months. [00:21:01] And then I thought, okay, well, what if we do a smaller dog? Because after that, Parker was more selective with bigger dogs. Rightfully so. That's his version of PTSD. So I thought, okay, well, maybe a smaller dog could work. And that is where Captain came in. So Captain just for reference, size reference, Parker varies between 80 and 85 pounds. [00:21:24] Jason: Big dog. [00:21:24] Sarah: Captain is 14, 14 pounds. [00:21:27] Jason: Yeah, Parker's tall like a lab, but built like a pit bull. [00:21:30] Sarah: Yeah. Yeah, so Captain is only 14 pounds. He's a little baby. He's about [00:21:36] Jason: tiny [00:21:37] Sarah: three or four ish He was we got him from a shelter about like an hour and a half away an hour 45 minutes away and Someone had him and his two brothers and decided they were done with him So they shoved them in a crate and they dropped them off at an animal shelter overnight [00:21:56] Jason: Yeah, because it says you're not allowed to leave animals here. [00:21:59] So they secretly did it in the middle of the night, left the crate there. [00:22:03] Sarah: On the doorstep. So the staff came in at 7 a. m. and found three dogs shoved in the crate. Huh. Super, super, don't be like these people, be better, okay? So, then him and Parker actually worked really well together and Like Captain just loves Parker so much. [00:22:21] He just loves him so much. Like I take Parker to the chiropractor and Captain stays here. And when I come back with Parker, Captain is way more excited to see Parker than he is to see me. He loves me so much, but he's like, just [00:22:35] Jason: he's jumping all [00:22:36] Sarah: over the moon about Parker. So Captain's our second rescue. [00:22:40] Jason: And Captain's, he's kind of a mutt. He, we did a DNA test on him. [00:22:43] Sarah: Oh, no, he's a he's absolutely a mutt. [00:22:45] Jason: Yeah, he's got Rat Terrier. He's got... [00:22:48] Sarah: I think if you could do him in order, probably not. [00:22:50] Jason: I don't know. Rat Terrier was probably the largest. [00:22:52] Sarah: Rat Terrier is the largest. What's next? Then American Pit Bull Terrier, which is why he's brindle on the top. [00:22:57] Jason: Oh, yeah. [00:22:58] Sarah: Huh. Yeah. Okay. Yep. American Pit Bull Terrier. Then Super Mutt. [00:23:03] Jason: Yeah, that's what the That's a breed. Super Mutt. [00:23:05] Sarah: I'm like, oh, wow. They call it a Super Mutt. Okay. Okay. It's like 14 percent Super Mutt. Huh. I think. Boston Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier, And then Dachshund, which is what we're told he was. [00:23:19] Jason: Yeah, and he's little. He's really little. He'll get in our face. All the time. Alright, so, next dog. [00:23:27] Sarah: Yeah, so, we've had Captain for a little over a year now, and then I thought, okay let's foster. We won't adopt another one, but like, we'll foster, we'll, you know, help train it, kinda get it back on its feet, do something good, get it ready for a family. [00:23:42] And that's where Maynard came in. [00:23:44] Jason: Mmm. Maynard. [00:23:45] Sarah: That one, that, he's heartbreaking. So if any of you guys had followed us on social media, like, a lot of people I guess were checking in with you, like, how's Maynard? How's Maynard? [00:23:55] Jason: Yeah it was hard to even look at him and not get emotional. This dog was so emaciated, so starving. [00:24:03] It was a bulldog. They found him in the, in San Antonio, on the street. And this is like in the height of summer. In 104 degree Texas heat, which, if you know anything about bulldogs, they can't breathe because their face is smushed. He was basically a skeleton with fur. If you see pictures or any of our, if you see it, you'll be like, Oh my gosh, like, how's this dog alive? [00:24:27] Yeah, he was covered in like over a hundred ticks. Yeah and he had all sorts of diseases and problems related to that. [00:24:36] Sarah: Like lesions and wounds. Yeah, he had wounds. [00:24:38] Jason: Burns it looked like all over his body? [00:24:40] Sarah: He may have hidden under a car that was hot and like burned himself on the hot car trying to find some shade. [00:24:47] Jason: Yeah. [00:24:47] Sarah: And cool himself down. Yeah [00:24:49] Jason: It's super sad. [00:24:51] Sarah: This dog was in bad shape. He was 25 pounds and he's supposed to be probably at least 50 or 60. [00:24:57] Jason: Yeah, they spent And a whole evening trying to pull all the ticks off of him, like they had to give him a blood transfusion or he would have died. Like he was just, he was in bad shape, [00:25:07] Sarah: He had two tick borne illnesses. [00:25:10] He had pneumonia. He needed a blood transfusion just to survive this. He was obviously severely emaciated and severely dehydrated. And eating, you can't just take a dog like that and shove a bunch of food like Edla, she was like, oh, we could just feed him a lot. And I'm like, you'll kill him. [00:25:29] He'll die. Yeah. So your body, very what happens when you're that far along is muscle atrophy. So your body will eat the muscle. So he had literally no muscle left on him anywhere. [00:25:42] Jason: He didn't hardly walk [00:25:42] Sarah: at all. [00:25:43] Jason: He would just crumple over like he would like, yeah, he would try to walk. [00:25:46] You fall the time, man. [00:25:47] Sarah: But he would try. He was really like, he tried. You'd think that a dog like this with this many problems would just say like, fuck it, I'm out. Like, I probably would. If I was up for it, I'd be like, alright, just, like, where's the plug? Pull it. Let's do it. But he did not. He did not want to give up. [00:26:04] He did not want to die. [00:26:06] Jason: We had him for about a week? [00:26:07] Sarah: We had him for a week. Yeah, we had him for a week. [00:26:09] Jason: And then, like, he was in bad shape. I don't even think they should have let him come to us, but they didn't know all the stuff that was wrong with them. They [00:26:15] Sarah: didn't, yeah, they didn't know everything because they didn't do the full like, scan. [00:26:19] Jason: So we had him for a week and took care of him, but we started to notice he was like, he was getting worse. So then we we reached out to the foster organization and then they took Maynard to the doctors and they were, like, he was in bad shape. His whole esophagus had been destroyed so he couldn't, like, move food down. [00:26:38] They've, we've, later they figured out, well, he just needs to sit upright, and like, gravity, and maybe that'll heal over time, I don't know, but he had a whole bunch of issues, but before they figured that out, they were like, this dog is in such bad shape. He's not really getting food down. [00:26:53] Sarah: He's. Well, they didn't know what exactly. [00:26:54] Yeah, so they were about to put him down. When I brought him back to the vet. So they started doing some tests on him. They said he actually lost weight and I'm like that doesn't make sense. Like he's been with me for a week. He's eaten every day and he wants his food. Like he wants it, desperately wants his food. [00:27:11] And that doesn't, it doesn't make any sense. How did he lose weight? And they're like, I don't know. So then they found out that he had. A very rare parasitic infection that attacked his liver. He has heart disease. His pneumonia has gotten worse. And then they were trying to figure out the whole, why did he lose weight type situation? [00:27:38] And they ended up doing a scan. They did not think he was going to make it. They just, they didn't know. There was so much going on with him. Like issues as long as my arm, the list was as long as my arm and they didn't think he was going to make it. So the president of the organization, she let me know, she's like, I have to make a really tough decision right now. [00:27:59] Jason: And they put a lot of money towards this dog. The whole, like, a lot, thousands of dollars. [00:28:03] Sarah: It was, I think his treatment was somewhere, All of it was like over like 7, 000 so far. [00:28:09] Jason: Yeah, they were really doing everything they could to take care of this dog. But she was at the point where she was like, I think we're going to have to... yeah. [00:28:16] Sarah: Oh, and he was anemic on top of all of that. So he couldn't keep heat in. [00:28:19] Jason: Okay. [00:28:20] Sarah: Poor guy. [00:28:20] Jason: So like, they were about to put him down. Right. [00:28:25] Sarah: Yeah they decided like it doesn't seem like there's anything like he's too like he's just too far gone and The vet came in the room like with the shot and they said all right, let's give him like one last really awesome meal So they gave him mac and cheese and he Scarfed it down like you wouldn't even believe and that whole day and the whole day before he wasn't moving. [00:28:49] He wasn't walking. He wasn't really interested in anything. He was just very lethargic, very tired. He didn't, he did not care. Mac and cheese, he was like, what is that? Give me all of it. Perked right up for the mac and cheese. So the mac and cheese literally saved his life because he was minutes from being put down. [00:29:08] Said that she has never been that close to putting a dog down and then didn't do it. [00:29:13] Jason: Yeah. [00:29:14] Yeah, but that gave her hope that, Hey, there's something here. There's some life in him. And he's, You know, he's motivated for some reason. [00:29:22] Sarah: Yeah. And the vet who was going to euthanize him then, she said, there is something weird with this dog. [00:29:30] Like, it's just, there's something off. We don't know, like, is it okay if we do like the full scan? And she's like, if you think it'll help him, like, if you think that we can figure this out and save him so that he has some quality of life. So [00:29:45] Jason: because of the mac and cheese, and seeing something that seemed a little bit off, because that like, he was so excited about that and he was eating it, they then did and he perked up, they did the scan and they found what? [00:29:59] Sarah: So in dogs, they call it a mega esophagus. So essentially, his esophagus doesn't work. They think that he may have, back like when he was dumped on the side of the road, and also, I should, we should have said this, he was intact, so we think that he was used for breeding. And then when he got too far along, these fuckers dumped him on the side of the road. [00:30:21] So they're number two on the hit list. I will find them and they're not even far from me. I will go get them. So they dumped him on the side of the road. When he was on the side of the road they think that he either ate something or drank something that was toxic and messed up his whole esophagus. [00:30:38] Yeah. [00:30:39] So that's why he was eating food, but it was all impacted in his esophagus. Hardly any of it was actually getting through to his stomach. [00:30:47] Jason: Yeah, [00:30:48] Sarah: so they found that out and Bruni the president of the organization said well wait a second when he was with his fosters like he had a bowel movement So something had to have gotten through like what can we do? [00:30:59] She's like, what if we like prop them up. They have like a little Bailey chair, but they didn't have one there. So they made a makeshift one out of like blankets and cardboard. [00:31:07] They're like, what if we do like a makeshift Bailey chair, test it for 24 hours, see if any food actually gets through into the stomach because that is a treatable condition. [00:31:17] Now, if they're born with it and then that's really hard. But he wasn't born with it. Something destroyed his esophagus. So they said, oh, that's like, it's a treatable condition. So what if we try this, give him 24 hours, and then he's got to show us that he can get some food and medication down into his stomach because all the medication for all of the problems, it wasn't even getting into his system. [00:31:46] Jason: Medicine, food, nothing was making it. [00:31:48] Sarah: Nothing. No water. Like he had a couple bowel movements with us. So like Something must have, but not. Not the way he should have been. So after a 24 hour hold, he had a full stomach of food. [00:32:02] Jason: Yeah, they figured out he just needed gravity. Like they just had to prop him up. [00:32:06] So he's sitting up like a human eating, you know, and he was perfectly happy to eat. Like he was a hungry dog. So then he went to be taken care of full time by the foster organization. Yeah [00:32:18] Sarah: He has multiple medications he has to eat like a very small strict [00:32:23] Jason: And she has a lot of dogs at her place that she's taking care of so she asked if she had another foster. She said could you take this dog Silver? Yeah So then we got Silver was the next... [00:32:33] Sarah: oh, wait. The thing I want to say about Maynard is that he had every reason to give up and he had every reason, multiple reasons. [00:32:43] Like he had like literally so many health problems. [00:32:46] Jason: Yeah. And everybody around him had multiple reasons to give up on him. . [00:32:48] Sarah: He had every reason to not trust humans and every reason to be like a nasty, vicious dog. And he just wasn't he was not he was so sweet and he loved to like just shove his little smush face into me And just nuzzle it and when it was in there, he still wasn't close enough He was still like pushing trying to get closer Because I think that was the first time he ever experienced love and even though he had every single reason stacked up against him. [00:33:19] Like the odds were not at all in his favor. There's no reason that this dog should technically be alive. It's only because he's so freaking stubborn. He did not want to give up on himself. Even through all of that, even through all of that, he didn't want to give up on himself. So when we were going through all of that, like with him, I was telling people like when I would run my scale calls on Fridays, my our operations call, I was telling people like. [00:33:45] If this dog can go through everything that he went through and still push through whatever is happening in your business, whatever is happening in your life, whatever is happening in your marriage, in your friendships, in your relationships, you can push through it. Because every single time that they thought they had the issue figured out, there were like five more issues that popped up with him. [00:34:08] Jason: Yeah, just tell yourself you're not yet at Maynard level. You can handle it though. He also had a really good support mechanism around him eventually, right? And I think that's also there's a little lesson in that is that you need If you're going to go through tough stuff, it's a lot better to have the right support around you and to have people that believe in you, even when you might feel like giving up, and that, you know, can see that you can be better. [00:34:36] And we need those. We need those people around us. And so if you don't have that in your business, it's probably feeling pretty hard because you're doing, you feel like it's all up to you and you're all on your own. And that's a dumb way to grow business. It just is. All right. Next dog. [00:34:54] Sarah: Okay. So the medical foster that took Maynard after his second, third ER stint she said, Hey, like I, I cannot take another foster, but I have to take Maynard. [00:35:05] Can you take Silver? And then that gives me room to take Maynard. And I said, so Silver, like this is Austin Bulldog Rescue. They largely work with bulldogs. It's not only bulldogs, but most of them are bulldogs. Silver is not a bulldog. He looks like some sort of terrier. I think he had very terrier fur. But he was little, like 30 pounds. [00:35:28] Very high energy. He was probably like in his teenage phase. They also found him on the side of the road in San Antonio. The sad thing about him, though, is he had like, he was house trained. He had like house manners. So he lived in a house at one point. And Either escaped or was dumped, but he was hanging out with a pack of dogs and the bulldogs He was like, these are my friends and the rescue were saving all the dogs and they were like, okay There's like this other dog like what do we do? [00:35:58] And she's like, well, you can't leave him like come on he's an honorary bulldog now. So so they They fostered him, took him in, and then we had him. We had him for about a week, and he already had some applications coming in on him, and he got rehomed to a family that I think is a great fit for him. [00:36:17] Jason: Yeah. [00:36:18] Sarah: They're such a good fit. [00:36:19] Jason: Silver had a lot of energy. Yes. He was like doggy teenager. He had a ton of energy, super excited, loved running around. Yeah. Yeah. [00:36:30] Sarah: And they're like, we want to go for a walk every day. And we like to go on hikes and we like to go camping and we'll bring the dogs. And I was like, Oh, he would like, [00:36:37] Jason: he'll love that. [00:36:38] Sarah: He would love that. He would love that. And every dog that Silver saw, he wanted to play with every single one of them. And then they have another dog. So it was just figuring out, are those two going to be nice to each other? And they're great. He was very like respectful of her boundaries, which none of us had seen previous to that. [00:36:57] So that was really good. And they're doing great so far. And then. The woman that adopted him, she sends me pictures of him. Like, she's like, just so you know, he's doing great. I'm like, oh, thank you. Thanks for sending that. [00:37:09] Jason: All right. Next. [00:37:11] Sarah: Next is this guy behind me. [00:37:13] Jason: Yeah. [00:37:14] Sarah: Baby. [00:37:15] So we wanted to do another foster. Bulldogs are a lot of work, like so much work. And we went to a shelter that's local and we were looking, I was looking online for a dog that was not small, but also not large. So he's like 44 pounds ish. He's [00:37:37] Jason: got a bit of a cough right now. [00:37:39] Sarah: Yeah, he had kennel cough. [00:37:41] So we're. working on clearing that up with him and they don't know a whole lot about him. They found him as a stray in Round Rock but that's also so sad because he's so sweet and like he's house trained and he's got manners and I'm like, oh, Jason keeps saying he's like this somebody's like some family's dog like they must be missing their dog and I'm like, it was in the shelter for over a month. [00:38:06] So yeah, like Parker goes missing. I'm not sleeping until I find him. [00:38:11] Jason: Sure. [00:38:11] Sarah: You know, I would there would be a bolo out on it everything like I would call the SWAT team like Everybody would be involved. So now we are fostering Hans and We're looking for a forever family for him. Although we might foster fail and keep them ourselves. [00:38:30] We'll see but we're That's what it called. It's foster fail. [00:38:33] Jason: Oh. Yeah. This one's hard to not [00:38:37] Sarah: The first day we got him, the two kids and Jason were already pushing me. They're like, we could just keep him. [00:38:44] Jason: He's a special dog. [00:38:45] Sarah: It didn't take long. They're like, we could just, and I thought I was going to be the one who was weak. [00:38:49] I thought I was going to be the one who says like, oh, we should keep him. Like, let's just keep him. [00:38:54] Jason: Yeah. [00:38:55] Sarah: And shockingly enough, I was the one that was like, yes, but like, we're fostering so we can help more dogs. And the three of them, they're like, but we can just keep him. He's so perfect. Aren't you perfect? [00:39:07] So if he gets along with our other two, then. I think we might keep them. We'll see. See what happens. So. All right. So there's our dog story. That's the current. That's what Jason wanted to talk about dog thing [00:39:20] Jason: today. So, you know, gives you a little glimpse into, I guess, what? Our personal lives a little bit. [00:39:27] Some of the things that Sarah cares about that we care about. And yeah, so. Dogs. So if you like dogs, then maybe you enjoyed this episode and maybe you learned something. I don't know.

During an in-depth conversation with STLPR politics correspondent Jason Rosenbaum last week, Pauley spoke about the ongoing challenges of balancing the commitment to preserving Missouri's natural beauty with the need for economic development in struggling parts of the state.

In a busy outpatient practice, timely access to up-to-date clinical resources is crucial to delivering evidence-based care. In the olden days, books and journal articles were the go-to method. Today, technology creates a more user-friendly method of receiving the most recent information. Say goodbye to having to order the latest edition of a book and hello to automatic updates. Our Children's Hospital Colorado antimicrobial stewardship team, clinical effectiveness and pathways teams, along with other local and state partners have partnered with Firstline, a health technology company, to design a mobile version of our infectious disease guidance. “It is another way to bring clinical decision support directly into somebody's hand if they are not sitting at a computer, which a lot of times you are not,” Leigh Anne Bakel, MD, says. A technology like this can change the future of treating patients. With new information comes new treatment choices, and this app is a way to put all of that content in the palm of a provider's hand. “It's really about judicious use, so using the right antibiotic for the right length of time but also only in the right patient and then the right dose; I think we understand overtime that antibiotics have a lot more side effects than we previously appreciated,” Sarah Parker, MD, says. Joining us to talk about this innovative technology are Drs. Sarah Parker and Leigh Anne Bakel. Dr. Parker is the Medical Director of the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program here at Children's Colorado, as well as a professor of pediatrics in the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Dr. Bakel is the Medical Director of Clinical Effectiveness here at Children's Colorado, as well as a practicing pediatric hospitalist. She is also an associate professor of pediatrics. Some highlights from this episode include: How the Firstline app works Why Firstline is beneficial for providers everywhere How Firstline will enhance rural healthcare The future of technology for treating patients For more information on how to download the app visit https://firstline.org/colorado/. Drs. Parker and Bakel would like to acknowledge the brains behind this operation.

Sarah Parker Remond (1826–1894) left the free black community of Salem, Massachusetts, where she was born, to become one of the first women to travel on extensive lecture tours across the United Kingdom. Remond eventually moved to Florence, Italy, where she earned a degree at one of Europe's most prestigious medical schools. Her language skills enabled her to join elite salons in Florence and Rome, where she entertained high society with musical soirees even while maintaining connections to European emancipation movements. Remond's extensive travels and diverse acquaintances demonstrate that the nineteenth-century grand tour of Europe was not exclusively the privilege of white intellectuals but included African American travelers, among them women. Sirpa Salenius' book An Abolitionist Abroad: Sarah Parker Remond in Cosmopolitan Europe (U Massachusetts Press, 2016), based on international archival research, tells the fascinating story of how Remond forged a radical path, establishing relationships with fellow activists, artists, and intellectuals across Europe.
