Aging is a gradual process, and it can be hard to recognize the signs of aging for many people. To help combat this, strength training can be incredibly beneficial in boosting energy levels and improving work capacity. This can help maintain your physical strength and make everyday life easier too. Making mindful choices today can help ensure better health and vitality in the coming years. Strength training can be an important part of your overall wellness plan, helping to build muscles, maintain balance and increase bone density. Part of being in control is recognizing that you have a choice; you can choose to make physical activity a regular part of your routine and give yourself the gift of health for now and later. Tina Tang, a fitness trainer, is here to tell us why women over 40 should start strength training and the best way to do it. She's even created a 7-day beginners' strength training challenge starting February 6th so you can take your first step towards becoming stronger! Invite your friends along and make it an enjoyable experience for everyone. It's free, and all you've to do is sign up at getstrongover40.com/challenge, but for now, listen in to the conversation with Tina.

[16:46] Tina's inspiration behind The Beginner's Strength Training Program.  [20:16] Why do most women fear incorporating strength training into their life? Why do some women feel heavier after consistent strength training?   About Tina Tang -  Coach Tina is a Fit at 50 coach, creator of the 4S Formula to help mid-life women get stronger & leaner, and Founder of Iron Strong Fitness. Through her one-on-one coaching and online group fitness classes, she trains women over 40 and teaches them how to take control of their bodies by getting stronger and training consistently. Tina got into fitness super late…age 42! Before that, she was a Wall Street trader, jewelry designer/business owner. At age 40, she went through some unplanned life changes — a difficult divorce and the post-financial crisis economy that pushed her to close her jewelry stores. During that crappy time and for the first time in her life, she turned to working out as her dependable constant. She was going to the gym and taking strength group fitness classes. That was her FIRST foray into strength training. Since starting as a trainer at the age of 42, she has coached over 3,700 sessions, trained herself to her first pull-up to hit a personal record of 14 pull ups (at the age of 49!), and passed a grueling kettlebell coach exam where she snatched (exercise that brings a kettlebell from between the legs to overhead) 36 lbs 100 times within 5 minutes! Strength is her jam. Her proudest achievements include coaching some of her female clients to their first pull ups and competing in their first powerlifting competitions. She has a deep understanding of the needs and physical experiences of middle aged women.   How to connect with Tina Tang: Website: https://www.ironstrongfitness.net/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ironstrongfit Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ironstrongfitness   About Risa Morimoto - Founder and CEO of Modern Aging, Risa is a certified integrative nutrition health coach.

Taking chances and expanding your horizons will give you the exposure that can help you get ahead in your career. You might need to take risks by saying yes to jobs or tasks that you haven't done before, but it can lead to valuable growth and experience in the long run.When it comes to being an artist, refusing to take on projects that you have the ability and potential to complete is saying no to growth. It is important to take advantage of opportunities that come your way, even if they are small. Saying no to a potential opportunity for growth can ultimately set you back in the long run.

Customer follow-up is an essential part of a successful sales process. After getting a new customer, it's important to maintain the relationship by keeping in contact and engaging with them. Following up regularly helps build loyalty, trust, and strengthens the relationship with your customers.

If you want to ensure success in sales and keep customers coming back for more, make sure you are consistenTilt following up.Creating and maintaining strong relationships with customers will help build long term loyalty, and make it easier to acquire new customers going forward.

What new things do you have in mind for this new year? Maybe you want to tackle a new professional challenge. Maybe you want to pay more attention to your health. Maybe you want to dial back your intensity at work to make more time for family and friends.  Whatever your new things are this year, how will you make them a reality? At the very least, how will you ensure that you'll be able to say that you gave it your best shot? All of us are familiar with getting a strong start out of the gate–fueled by fresh inspiration and determination–but then fading somewhere along the way. Our willpower runs out. It's discouraging and can be genuinely perplexing.  “I really wanted to make that change,” we reflect regretfully to ourselves. “What happened?!” Let this be the year that you say goodbye to the demoralizing cycle of abandoned objectives and replace it with a new capacity for focus, perseverance, and tenacity that gets you where you want to go.  Some of the prevailing wisdom out there tells us that we need to create better goals, manage our time more effectively, develop better morning routines, get more sleep, get up earlier, make sure you do a cold plunge and a sauna every day, and keep a journal, to name a few. Those are all well and good and doubtless have their time and place. But they also depend upon our finite reserves of inspiration and determination–resources that haven't been adequate so far. What leads us to believe that our willpower will suddenly be up to the task this go-round?  We need something more primal, more compelling, and more reliable. Something that we just can't get around or ignore, even if we try.  That's what I'm going to give you today by sharing a simple message, a transformational mindset, and the practical means by which to apply the message and the mindset in the real world.    The Message First, here's the message. It's short and sweet: You are going to die.  Here it is a little differently: You ARE going to die.  And one more time: YOU are going to die.  It's not a matter of IF; it's just a matter of WHEN and HOW.  Wake up.  Say this with me: “I am going to die. It's not a matter of if; it's just a matter of when and how.” Most of us pay little attention to the reality of our Mortality. Some of us aggressively avoid thinking about it. There's something deep inside of us that recoils at the thought and actively resists it. And in the absence of a personal encounter with Mortality, the comforts and conveniences of modern life simply distract us from the reality of our Mortality.  But all of us will one day be forced to confront it.  My experience has convinced me that avoiding the reality of our Mortality does us much more harm than good. It's also convinced me that voluntarily confronting our Mortality is a key to living the life we were made to live with guts, gusto, and abandon and dying with no regrets.    The Mindset So, the mindset I want to share with you is a way to transform your Mortality from an unpleasant reality that you avoid like the plague into the most powerful motivator you've ever had to create a life you're proud of.  I call it the Mortality Mindset.  First, I'll share a few snapshots from my story to show how this message and this mindset have changed my life. Then I'll explain what the Mortality Mindset is and the practical means by which to apply it in your life.   Snapshot 1: A Descent into Hell 25 years ago, I was a recent college grad, and after years of on-and-off, low-grade anxiety, my psychology had reached a perilous tipping point. I had been a gold-star kid all the way through college, but I now found myself aimless–without a plan, without an overarching purpose, and unable to find a way forward. Depression was beginning to sink its talons into me. Then, I began to experience some vague but persistent physical symptoms. My doctor wasn't able to provide a clear diagnosis, and I suddenly found myself in the grips of severe, debilitating, and all-consuming anxiety–specifically about catastrophic health events and Mortality. My psychology had been pushed beyond its limits, and I was in a full-blown mental health crisis.  No more a young man with the world as his oyster, I was now a young man clinging to his sanity by the thinnest of threads. At one point, it dawned upon me that I would rather die than go on living if relief from the psychological anguish didn't arrive soon.    Snapshot 2: A New Lease on Life Fast forward 14 years to 2012.  Over the years, I had slowly and painfully found a way forward. I'd even gotten married, and my wife and I now had two young boys. Unfortunately, though, I'd let myself go physically and had picked up some unhealthy ways of trying to cope. I was 60 lbs. overweight, abusing alcohol, and smoking heavily.  Then, in 2012, my brother-in-law got a bleak cancer diagnosis and began a three-year cancer battle that, sadly, ended in his death in 2015. As I watched him undergo excruciating and ultimately unsuccessful surgeries and treatments, I literally and figuratively looked down at my gut and realized that even though I wasn't in control of when I died, I certainly wasn't doing what I could to stay alive. I was gripped with a white-hot motivation to do whatever it took to get healthy again so I had a better chance of being around for my family as long as possible.  Staring death in the face through my brother-in-law's experience instantly clarified what was most important to me and supplied the will to act on it.  It was the ultimate status quo-buster.  For the first time, awareness of my Mortality was an asset rather than just a neurotic and crippling liability.  Within a year, I was back to my fighting weight. I was on a completely new path of health and wellness, and the depression that had lurked annoyingly in the back of my mind for so long had vanished. Anxiety was still an unwelcome companion, but I was now a man in motion, not just a deer caught in the headlights.  The momentum created by that tragic involuntary encounter with Mortality ultimately led to a major life renovation, our move out here to CO in 2014, and the professional path that I'm on today. Its effects are still unfolding.  Take a moment to reflect on this question: How has an experience with Mortality impacted you?   Snapshot 3: My Ally, Anxiety About four years ago, I reached a new level of exasperation with the Anxiety. All my years of trying to make it go away had been unsuccessful. One day, in desperation, in my mind's eye I turned around to face the Anxiety–this unwelcome, uninvited, and tenacious hitchhiker in my psychology. And I said, “If you aren't going to go away, then what are you here for?” That desperation-driven moment of surrender and acceptance transformed the Anxiety from a hated enemy into an unlikely ally.  I had begun my work as a coach by this point. Thanks to my newfound acceptance of Anxiety's place in my life, I had begun to wonder how my particular fixation on catastrophic health events and Mortality might be of use in my coaching work. I was certainly susceptible to thinking about Mortality too much. But I began to wonder: What if most other people thought about their Mortality too little–and as a result were twiddling their thumbs on the way to a regret-filled grave?  From seemingly out of nowhere, the words “The Graveyard Group” sprang to mind, and I immediately sensed that there was something to it. In January 2019, the first Graveyard Group was formed. Today, Graveyard Groups members courageously and voluntarily tap into the power of their mortality each week to live with guts, gusto, and abandon and escape death-bed regrets. More on Graveyard Groups later.  In 2020, I launched this podcast to share Mortality's unmatched motivational power with a larger audience.    Snapshot 4: My Friend, Mortality In the 3+ years that Mortality has had a central role in the way that I help people, it's also become clear that it's healing me. My once-bitter enemy, Mortality, has actually become a valued friend. Consistent voluntary consideration of my Mortality through The Graveyard Groups and the podcast has been a sort of exposure therapy. Through consistent, voluntary exposure, I've gotten braver. Today, I'm the boss of the Anxiety more than it is of me.  Nothing has ever given me that much authority over the Anxiety before.  It's more than just an antidote for Anxiety, though, as significant as that is; I'm more alive today than I've ever been before. I'm living more boldly than ever before. I'm more ME than I've ever been before. The things that matter most get more of the attention they deserve than ever before.  If I died today, I would be proud of the life I lived.  And I have Death to thank for it.  This is the Mortality Mindset in action.   Personal Reflection Here are a couple questions for your own reflection: On a scale of 0-10, and you can't pick 5, if you died today, how proud would you be of the life you've lived? If you died today, what's one thing you would regret?   But What is the Mortality Mindset, Exactly? I've described how the Mortality Mindset has become part of my life and how it's impacted me. But what IS the Mortality Mindset, exactly?  Simply put, the Mortality Mindset is the voluntary integration of awareness of your Mortality into your daily life.   It creates the transformational impact of a real encounter with Mortality without the trauma and tragedy of one–and while there's still time left to do something about it. It clarifies what's most important to us and motivates us to give it the attention it deserves NOW, rather than waiting for the ever-elusive “tomorrow” or “someday.” It gives us the extra nudge we need to pursue a dream, to take a risk, to have the conversation we know we need to have.  It provides a more compelling and reliable source of motivation than our finite, fickle, and fragile willpower. The Mortality Mindset is NOT normal. Those who embrace it are swimming upstream against their own innate tendencies and the prevailing tendencies of the culture we live in. It is rare, heroic, and life-affirming work.  How Do I Use the Mortality MIndset in My Own Life? To use the Mortality Mindset, one must Cultivate it. Farmers don't plant a seed one day and expect a fully mature crop the next. They plant the seed, water and fertilize it, and manage weeds over weeks and months in order to produce a crop. They cultivate their crop with care and consistency over time. The same is true of the Mortality Mindset. It must be cultivated with care and consistency over time, too.  Each of us is different and has a different pre-existing relationship with Mortality, so there isn't a one-size-fits-all list of steps that each of us has to take to cultivate the Mortality Mindset. There are no shortcuts, either. But here are some examples of things we can do: Die on Paper Before You Die for Real: Write your own obituary as if you've lived a life you'd be proud of. Be as specific as possible, and you get to choose when and how you die. Then, ask yourself what needs to change now in order for that obituary to have a chance at becoming a reality. With your Mortality as motivation, summon the courage to take action NOW on at least one of the things that needs to change. Revisit and revise your obituary occasionally, and take new action.  Set Your Date of Death and Work Backwards from There by asking yourself this question and taking bold action on your answer: If I knew I was going to die 5 years from today, what would I start doing differently today?  Make this podcast part of your routine, and resolve to do at least one thing in the real world–no matter how small–with a takeaway from each episode you listen to. Join a Graveyard Group so that voluntary awareness of your Mortality is built into your calendar each week. Create an intentional partnership with a friend, colleague, or coach for the specific purpose of cultivating and using the Mortality Mindset.  Visit the old and dying to remind yourself of how quickly time flies and glean valuable lessons from their experience.  Commune With the Dead by making occasional visits to your local cemetery. Read the tombstones, and reflect on the fact that you too will share the same fate as those buried there.  Just like a farmer's crop wilts and dies from neglect, so does the Mortality Mindset. Many of the guests on my podcast who have had extraordinary encounters with Mortality–people for whom you'd think the Mortality Mindset was now hardwired because of their experience–say that their awareness of Mortality fades over time. If it fades for them, how much more will it fade for us who haven't had the same kind of experiences if we don't tend to it diligently?   How Will I Know If I'm Using the Mortality Mindset Effectively? A soybean farmer knows he's successfully cultivated a soybean crop when soybeans appear on the plants.  Here are some of the ways you'll know you're successfully cultivating the Mortality Mindset: You intentionally live in one-day increments, acknowledging that today is all we have. You make daily decisions about how to spend your time and energy with your Mortality in mind… You give the things that matter most more of the attention that they deserve NOW. For example, you prioritize relationships over tasks and cherish the mundane moments with family and friends.  You value imperfect action now over “perfect” action tomorrow.  You find yourself having to summon fresh courage more often in order to open up new personal and professional frontiers for yourself.  What evidence do you find in your life that the Mortality Mindset is already at work?   To Sum Up… Alright, let's land the plane.  Don't rely on your finite, fickle, and fragile willpower to help you make the new things you have in mind this year a reality. Don't pin all your hopes on today's prevailing wisdom about how to achieve your goals, either. Reliance on willpower and prevailing wisdom just perpetuates the demoralizing cycle of abandoned objectives. Instead, dig deeper for a more primal, more compelling, and more reliable source of motivation: Cultivate the Mortality Mindset to acquire a new capacity for focus, perseverance, and tenacity that gets you where you want to go.  Year after year until the day that you die, the Mortality Mindset will empower you to live with guts, gusto, and abandon and give the things that matter most the attention they deserve before it's too late.  Remember: You ARE going to die. But you're not dead yet. So get after it!   The Graveyard Group: Exchange Willpower for “We-power” No matter how compelling the motivation, we still can't do it alone. In the Graveyard Group, you not only have a consistent time and place to cultivate the Mortality Mindset, you also swap out willpower for the vastly superior “we-power.” With the support of your very own confidential board of advisors, break free from the status quo, become the person you were made to be, and live the life you were made to live.  New groups for men and women are forming now.

Testimonials are a powerful tool that can really get people to take action. As a seller, you may be familiar with promoting your products and trying to persuade buyers. But when someone else who has already bought the product leaves their own positive review, it can be much more effective in convincing buyers of its quality.Most infomercials don't convert because they spend too much time talking about the product and not enough time talking about how it can benefit the user. To be more successful, people should focus on creating stories of people who have used the product and add that section early in the ad. In this episode, Belinda dives into why it's best to use more customer testimonials than facts to sell your product. She will explain how buyers will find other customers' stories more convincing than the facts that you can provide as a seller. As the old business adage goes - "Facts tell, but stories sell". Don't miss this helpful advice on how to use testimonials to increase sales. Snapshot of the Key Points from the Episode:[02:01] Why are testimonials the most powerful ingredient in your sales strategy?[04:23] Why most of the ads today do not convert.[09:20] The importance of using testimonials, whether verbal or written.About the Host -Belinda Ellsworth is a Speaker, Trainer, Best-Selling Author, and PodcasterShe has been a professional speaker, mover, and shaker for more than 25 years.

Sustainability is an important concept for businesses today, yet there is a lot of confusion about what it really means. People often think of sustainability as just protecting the environment, which is true to an extent. But there's more to it than that. It encompasses economic, social, and environmental aspects and involves finding ways to use resources in a way that meets the needs of current generations without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same.Sustainability is an umbrella term that focuses on creating a better future, both environmentally and socially. It encompasses steps to stop climate change, reduce water and natural resource misuse, as well as ensuring human rights, labor rights, animal rights, philanthropy, and charity are observed. Professionally this type of sustainability is referred to as ESG (environmental-social-governance). It is sometimes known by its other name: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).In this episode, John Pabon, a sustainability expert, covers the topic of sustainability and its importance for business owners. He explains why sustainability is a must-have for businesses and how to develop it in your organization.Snapshot of the Key Points from the Episode:[02:28] John's journey and why he's so passionate about sustainability.[05:08] Three top tips for sustainability.[09:35] The correct definition of sustainability.[11:31] John's superpower skill sets that have helped him in his journey.[14:04] Why is niching down a disadvantage at times?[16:39] John's greatest fight with businesses and how he has navigated that.[26:10] John's greatest achievement in his career.

After leaving his role at the United Nations, John traveled the world studying the impacts of sustainability first-hand in factories, in fields, and Fortune 500s.His mission is to move sustainability from theory to practical strategies that help people and businesses confidentially make a real impact.Over his 20-year career, he's had the privilege of working with the United Nations, McKinsey, A.C. Nielsen, and as a consultant with BSR, the world's largest sustainability-focused business network. He is the founder of Fulcrum Strategic Advisors, Programme Director for The Conference Board's Asia Sustainability Leaders Council, and serves on the board of advisors to the U.S. Green Chamber of Commerce.John is also the author of “Sustainability for the Rest of Us: Your No-Bullshit, Five-Point Plan for Saving the Planet.” His upcoming book, “The Great Greenwashing,” will be out early next year.

1 Samuel 1:1-2:11 | Andrew Murch | As we crack open the book of 1 Samuel, none other than the namesake of the book will appear in these first chapters. However, much like the iconic stories of the Scriptures, we begin with a barren woman. Here we see that in seasons of barrenness and in seasons of plenty, the Lord's plan is never thwarted and he is always good.

Change is an inevitable part of life, and we have no control over it. Each decade that passes by adds to our life experiences and helps us evolve into who we are today. It is important to embrace change with open arms rather than look for its negatives. If we continue to accept change, good or bad, we will be better equipped to identify opportunities in life and make the most out of them. As Risa Morimoto turned 55 in November, she found herself reflecting on how far she had come and feeling as energetic as a 30-year-old woman. This realization highlights the fact that midlife does not have to be a dreaded period, but can instead represent an opportunity for growth and reinvention. While some people may struggle with physical or mental health issues during this time, others use it as a springboard to reach new heights and take their lives in exciting directions. In this episode, your host Risa Morimoto shares some of the things she has been celebrating as she gets older. She encourages us to be thankful for our age and all that it brings with it, like wisdom, experience, and perspective. Risa encourages us to focus on the things that bring us joy and ensure we take time to appreciate them.

If you feel like there's something more to life than what you are currently experiencing, it could be a sign of a spiritual awakening. You don't have to wait for anything negative or traumatic to happen in order to have an awakening - it can actually be spontaneous and freeing when achieved without any external influence. To experience this kind of awakening, start by removing distractions and going deeper within yourself to gain a greater level of awareness and discernment. This will allow you to access higher levels of consciousness that can happen anytime, like when you are walking down the street. Sometimes when you feel disconnected, like something is missing, and life is passing you by it can be a sign that you need to take a step back and go inward. These triggering experiences are an invitation to delve into ourselves and explore the world of spiritual awakening within. By exploring our soul's purpose, we can gain more insights into what our true calling in life might be. In this episode, Christina Lopes, a life coach, and spiritual teacher, provides insight and guidance on healing past wounds and trauma and finding spiritual awakening.
