We all know it's coming one day, but how do we best prepare for it? The moment the household goes quiet, and suddenly there's less chaos and dependencies surrounding you. Maybe it's the kids becoming adults and setting off on their own, or maybe it's early retirement, but we all reach that day where you look around and realize you're in a transition and your everyday normal starts to slow down and change. That's exactly what client turned coach Michele Canon is here to talk about this week: how to focus on goals and prioritize your wellness in this new phase of life. Michele tried it all, keto and fasting and cardio and all the things that are supposed to help you stay lean and feel your best, but through her own muscle building transformation and after taking Jenny's STRONG Formula coaching certification program, she learned that the Strong Girls methodology was the best process for truly achieving that X-Frame physique and also led her to accomplish her own goals of getting published in STRONG Fitness Magazine and becoming a women's fitness coach herself; focusing on building programs that are designed for aging women and empty nesters, proving that wellness doesn't “end” as we age, in fact it can truly begin and you can thrive at any age! Michele Canon Links:Get MCFIT Natural Whey Protein Powder with Michele's discount code here:https://www.michelecanonfit.com/shopFollow Michele on IG:https://www.instagram.com/michele_canon_fit/ Whenever you're ready, here are 3 ways to help you get a stronger body, faster results, and a responsive metabolism:Join our private BODY TRANSFORMATION group and connect with women levelling up their goals: It's our Facebook community where ambitious women learn to get leaner, get faster results, and achieve more energy – CLICK HEREWork directly with me and my team privately: If you'd like to work with me and my team to lose fat and build more lean muscle…fill out my questionnaire and tell me about your goals…I'll get right back to you CLICK HEREIf you're a Trainer/Nutritionist/Aspiring Coach… I'm getting a small group of new trainers together to show them how to add a new income stream into their business, CLICK HERE to apply and I'll get right back to you. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating  and leave us a review on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox.Resources:STRONG Fitness MagazineSTRONG Fitness Magazine on IGTeam Strong GirlsCoach JVBFollow Jenny on social media:InstagramFacebookYouTube  DISCLAIMER: The opinions, beliefs, and viewpoints expressed by the hosts and guests on this podcast do not necessarily represent or reflect the official policy, opinions, beliefs, and viewpoints of Disenyo.co LLC and its employees.

This week Jenny sits down with long time STRONG Girl, STRONG Formula grad and fitness coach for athletes Sandra Sorgini. A lifelong athlete herself, Sandra came into her 1:1 coaching with Jenny already understanding the fundamentals of movement, but shares how much she truly learned about body recomposition, muscle building, nutrition, fat loss and so much more when she really started diving into and applying the STRONG Girls methodology. Her own transformation propelled her, and working with Jenny opened her mind to the possibilities of fitness coaching. Sandra opens up about her journey as an educator, how she wants to empower women young and old to recognize how capable, strong and multifaceted we are, and what you can accomplish when you focus on your health in the right ways. Join my FREE live masterclass on Thursday November 14th Eastern to learn how to transform your body and build a thriving fitness career - REGISTER HERE Links for Sandra:FITSS Website: https://www.fitnesswithsandrasorgini.com/Best Body Guide Volume 7 https://shop.strongfitnessmag.com/en-ca/products/best-body-guide-volume-7-with-sandra-sorgini20% off 1:1 Coaching Program in Athlete Collective (fill out coaching questionnaire- mention Find Your Strong podcast) https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1KtLfWuo_EOun4VDAbeiSl3-QXV2LO_HpQCizoY6huIoFREE 12 Week Ultimate Shred Program - a complete fat loss pdf program https://www.canva.com/design/DAGDovo8KE4/A86GgzNz8LJeePbDh2wuBg/view?utm_content=DAGDovo8KE4&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=editorThe Ultimate Guide to Protein by FITSS https://www.canva.com/design/DAGDwLeTy40/jyNCoAWU_R-etz1doHJ2tg/view?utm_content=DAGDwLeTy40&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=editorThe Ultimate Meal Prepping Guide by FITSS https://www.canva.com/design/DAGDpSPmsS0/aHIJRXXyS3QF1YVFqhWggw/view?utm_content=DAGDpSPmsS0&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=editor Whenever you're ready, here are 3 ways to help you get a stronger body, faster results, and a responsive metabolism:Register to The Masterclass and learn how to Transform Your Body and Monetize your Transformation. CLICK HERE TO REGISTERJoin our private BODY TRANSFORMATION group and connect with women levelling up their goals: It's our Facebook community where ambitious women learn to get leaner, get faster results, and achieve more energy – CLICK HEREWork directly with me and my team privately: If you'd like to work with me and my team to lose fat and build more lean muscle…fill out my questionnaire and tell me about your goals…I'll get right back to you CLICK HEREIf you're a Trainer/Nutritionist/Aspiring Coach… I'm getting a small group of new trainers together to show them how to add a new income stream into their business, CLICK HERE to apply and I'll get right back to you. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating  and leave us a review on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox.Resources:STRONG Fitness MagazineSTRONG Fitness Magazine on IGTeam Strong GirlsCoach JVBFollow Jenny on social media:InstagramFacebookYouTube  DISCLAIMER: The opinions, beliefs, and viewpoints expressed by the hosts and guests on this podcast do not necessarily represent or reflect the official policy, opinions, beliefs, and viewpoints of Disenyo.co LLC and its employees.

Jenny is back after a summer pause to focus on family and reset, and is here this week to talk about the power of community. Because transformation doesn't happen in isolation.

After speaking at the Evolve Strength Business Summit recently in Edmonton, Jenny left with a renewed sense of the importance of community. Whether it's in business, relationship, lifestyle, fitness - sharing and connecting and learning and growing is done best when you've got the right people on your side, pushing you forward and inspiring you to keep working towards your goals. Whenever you're ready, here are 3 ways to help you get a stronger body, faster results, and a responsive metabolism:Join our private BODY TRANSFORMATION group and connect with women levelling up their goals: It's our Facebook community where ambitious women learn to get leaner, get faster results, and achieve more energy – CLICK HEREWork directly with me and my team privately: If you'd like to work with me and my team to lose fat and build more lean muscle…fill out my questionnaire and tell me about your goals…I'll get right back to you CLICK HEREIf you're a Trainer/Nutritionist/Aspiring Coach… I'm getting a small group of new trainers together to show them how to add a new income stream into their business, CLICK HERE to apply and I'll get right back to you. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating  and leave us a review on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox.Resources:STRONG Fitness MagazineSTRONG Fitness Magazine on IGTeam Strong GirlsCoach JVBFollow Jenny on social media:InstagramFacebookYouTube  DISCLAIMER: The opinions, beliefs, and viewpoints expressed by the hosts and guests on this podcast do not necessarily represent or reflect the official policy, opinions, beliefs, and viewpoints of Disenyo.co LLC and its employees.

Tonight we're chatting with Lori Brand, whose new book Bodies to Die For is out this month from Blackstone Publishing. she's had articles published in STRONG Fitness Magazine, T-Nation, Inside Fitness Magazine, D'FYNE Fitness Magazine, and more. Bodies to Die For takes a hard look at social media, the $70 billion diet industry, and the war on women's bodies--the wars we wage with each other, and with ourselves.Popular fitness influencer Gemma has transformed herself from a Before into an After, complete with washboard abs, thriving business, and gorgeous husband. But social media can be deceiving. Offline, the cutthroat world of bikini bodybuilding may just eat her alive. That's if she's not first devoured by the secret nemesis that lurks beneath her polished surface, waiting to destroy her.Software engineer Ashley is fat and frustrated. Frustrated with failed diets. With a world that wants her to shrink. With biased doctors, online trolls, and even her own mother. Until Ashley falls in with a mysterious and radical sect of Fat Activists who are fighting back ... by any means necessary. She's never felt so alive, so full of purpose. She'll do whatever it takes to ride this high, destroy Diet Culture, and win the approval of her charismatic leader.But when Gemma's toughest rival turns up dead, and more fitness girls fall like dominoes, it's beginning to look like the body image war has gone too far.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/castle-of-horror-podcast--4268760/support.

I am so honored to Ripple with American Ninja Warrior Angela Gargano. You would be hard-pressed to find a kinder entrepreneur than Angela. Her story is so inspiring! Here are a few takeaways from Angela in this episode: An injury can lead to a low state and loss of identity, but it can also provide an opportunity for growth and new opportunities. It is important to feel emotions but not get stuck in them. To get started with fitness, start with the basics and work with a coach who motivates you. Lifestyle is important to consider when growing a business. Focusing on what you want and how to serve clients while living a fulfilling life is important. The ripple effect means that one action can positively impact many other areas of life. Sharing positive messages and offering reassurance can make a difference in someone's life and help them achieve their goals. Check out Angela's Youtube  @AngelaGarganoFitness  or her website: angela-gargano.com and of course, don't forget to follow her on Instagram @angela_gargano Angela's BIO: Angela Gargano is a fierce athlete, coach, international fitness model, and speaker. Before becoming  a full-time multi-passionate entrepreneur, Angela worked as a biochemist at Brown University. Since throwing in the lab coat and goggles in 2013 to open her own gym in Cranston, Rhode Island, Angela has truly lived multiple lives in the athletic and entrepreneurial space, defying odds and setbacks to become an authentic and relatable voice to the public eye.  Angela has now competed on American Ninja Warrior 5x, won the Title of Miss Fitness America 2016, and created an online fitness empire for women called Strong Feels Good,  where she teaches women to ditch the scale and focus on strength and feeling as a way to measure progress. She has also helped over 500 women conquer their pull-ups with her online program, Pull-up Revolution. In summer 2021, Angela appeared all over the world as the Oxygen Magazine Covergirl, where she spoke about tearing her ACL on the Ninja Warrior course and coming back 11 months later stronger than ever.  Angela is a huge advocate for speaking about body image, as she was made fun of growing up for her “manly” arms and build. She would hide in a sweatshirt daily at school to avoid being made fun of, and was rejected by many fitness modeling agencies. But this didn't stop Angela from now having 3 magazine covers and becoming an international fitness model in some of the world's biggest publications: Women's Health, Shape, Strong Fitness Magazine, and Popsugar Fitness. Angela is strong, both mentally and physically, and she teaches you to love the body you are in. She is real, relatable, approachable, and down-to-earth. With Angela, there is fun and smiles, and there is grit, determination, and sweat. She is easy to understand and great to work with. Angela's mission is to revolutionize the way people feel about their bodies through identifying their inner strength and embracing the powerful body and mind that they have been gifted.  Her vision? To continue to expand the Strong Feels Good Community, speak at large events to spread her message and work with conscious, authentic brands who feel the same - the ones who truly want to help and impact the lives of their end consumer.

If you haven't yet listened that interview, feel free to pause this now. Go back and listen to that one. And then come back and join us. You know what I saw something? Today, I was trying to listen to a podcast and it had a part two. And I was like, "Ah, I don't want to listen to part two I want to listen to part one." (Brad: Okay) So here's what you do, everyone this is for obviously, just for the one, the one way to listen to podcasts. But on the Apple, you can actually hit the little three dots, the little ellipses on the episode in your listen now. And then you can actually it'll have a bunch of options that go to podcast. And it will take you to all the episodes of that pod. And then you can drop down one below in case your podcast load up like mine, which is the newest one first, which might be the recap and not the original. Just so you know and just a little instruction, the ...Brad Crowell 1:19  I love where you're going with this.Lesley Logan 1:20  Yeah. Anyways, happy birthday, Brad.Brad Crowell 1:23  Hey, thank you. Thank you so much.Lesley Logan 1:26  It took you 40 years to lift this guy. (Brad laughs) Spoiler alert, I tried to order you that shirt and they're sold out.Brad Crowell 1:34  I'm so happy that they're sold out.Lesley Logan 1:37  I think he looks so cute in it.Brad Crowell 1:39  Oh, thanks. (Lesley: Anyways) I do not need that shirt.Lesley Logan 1:41  Brad is 40. (Brad: 40) And all week long, my father has been letting him know.Brad Crowell 1:48  Oh, it mercilessly. (Lesley: Since ...) Every time I go, he goes, "Looks like you're getting close to 40. What's the name of almost 40?" (Lesley and Brad laughs) Lesley Logan 2:00  Yeah, so this year, my mom turned 60, my dad turned 70. Brad turned 40. And the rest of us are going backwards in time. So sucks to be you. No kidding. (Lesley laughs)Brad Crowell 2:09  No. We're going we're also going to jump off a building.Lesley Logan 2:13  Yeah, you keep saying that. So y'all in Vegas, there is this situation on top of the stratosphere. And you pay a lot of money.Brad Crowell 2:25  The Strat is like the second tallest building in town. Maybe the tallest building in town, not even sure.Lesley Logan 2:29  I mean, it was from the 80s. So is it any of those things anymore? Who knows? But the reality is, is you can see it from space. And you can see it from our living room. And you can see people on the little rides. But ... (Brad: No, you could see it from space.) Yeah, that's what my Uber driver said and that you know, they're always correct.Brad Crowell 2:45  It's like the internet. It must be true.Lesley Logan 2:47  Where you should get your information. It's also the same Uber driver who knew what the inside of our house look like before it was remodeled. That was weird. (Brad: Yeah, that was weird.) That was weird. Anyways. Okay. So you're on the stratosphere, and you can pay a lot of money for them. It's not a bungee jump. It's more of like, you're connected to a cable that's ... (Brad: It's like a freefall.) Yeah, it's a freefall, which sounds so scary. And so a person I had dinner with, I was at dinner with Strong Fitness Magazine and somebody there with just did it and he showed me his the video because they put a GoPro on you. And so he was, he fainted at the top. So in the video he is out, he is falling, his out and then when he comes to, he just screams F U to the friend that signed him up, that 's the video. (Brad and Lesley laughs) Anyways, so that's a Brad, my Dad and possibly some other people are gonna do. I want to say I'll do it, but I'm gonna sit and tell you right now I just nothing's gears. I don't want to wet my pants. That is my biggest fear. Like I pee because I'm so scared. (Brad and Lesley laughs) Just coming all the way down. Anyways, happy birthday, Brad. (Brad: Thank you so much.) I love you so much and I'm so happy you're just a tad bit older than me.Brad Crowell 3:58  Somehow, I think I'll be able to maintain that.Lesley Logan 4:01  I love it. I love it so much. Okay, we do have an audience question.Brad Crowell 4:06  We do, which is so fun. And you can wish me a happy birthday or ask an audience question at the @be_it_pod on IG. (Lesley: Yeah, on the gram.) Just shoot us a DM. The question that we had this week was, "What is the quiz you took that told the two of you your strengths?" (Lesley: Yeah. So we ...) We probably alluded to about 4000 times.Lesley Logan 4:29  4000 times (Brad: Yeah) and just enough for people to go, I need to do that and then not know we talked about. So, this is great question. I love this getting this question because I, Brad and I are like obsessed with with the Strength Finders 2.0. So that is the qu... Is that a quiz?It's not really a quiz. It's a test. (Lesley: It's a long time ...) No, it's like 25 minutes, 30 minutes.What is the difference between a quiz and a test, length of time? The score ...Brad Crowell 4:55  That is a great question. (Lesley: The scores and tasks on your brain.) I think that it's a quest. (Lesley laughs)Lesley Logan 5:02  You're such a dad joke hit 40. (Brad laughs) And now, you're a dad joker.Brad Crowell 5:09  That's amazing. I'm proud of my dad joke skills even though I'm, no, I'm not really a dad.Lesley Logan 5:14  Quizzes are shorter than tests, whereas the test may have 50 questions or more, a quiz ... 10 or fewer questions. And by the way, when I was typing, what is the difference between a queue? It was quiz and a test or a quiche and a frittata ... (Brad and Lesley laughs)Brad Crowell 5:30  Thank you Google. (Lesley: Thank you Google.) What's the difference between a quiche and a test?Lesley Logan 5:35  Okay, so um, so anyways, it's Strength Finders 2.0. (Brad: Yes) It's a gallup thing.Brad Crowell 5:40  Yeah, gallup, g a l l u p, gallup.Lesley Logan 5:43  You don't have to read the book. Although there is a book that kind of explains why these different strengths matter and how different CEOs have put their strengths together. And we were just out having dinner with Michael Unbroken who was episode 100, something. And he was like, "You guys like Strength Finders 2.0?" We actually talked about why we liked it. So basically, for us, knowing our top strengths kind of allows you to realize like, you are a little bit more able to apply your strengths to different things like you might be thinking, you're really strong in this one job, and you're not sure you can switch over, but when you know your strengths, you know how you can switch it, you can apply those strengths in different roles. So Brad was a musician, but he realized that his strengths, were actually things that a CEO or CEO could use.Brad Crowell 6:29  Yes, Michael was 105.Lesley Logan 6:31  Thank you, 105. Thanks, Google. (Lesley laughs) This episode brought to you by not them. So anyways, um, so that's to me why it's really important for you to know also for us, since we do have people on our team, we, we knowing our strengths allows us to hire people that are not a duplicate of us, because that would be that would be a nightmare for the team if there was too many. Brad Crowell 6:54  Well, I think I think I can honestly say that taking this test, this quest 'changed my life.' Because when I was first took it in 2010. I'd been in Los Angeles for only two and a half years. And I was worried. My concern was, what if I don't become rich and famous from playing music? What am I gonna go do with my life? What do I just like move home? And like, I don't know, work at a bank or something? I don't know where. Because I was like, that's supposed to be where the money is at the bank? (Lesley: If you're gonna say. Oh my God. I don't think so.) I think I would be the best bank teller ever. I would be having a party and everyone would be like, "Dude, just do your job."Lesley Logan 7:37  Yeah, you, therefore the worse. But everyone would love you.Brad Crowell 7:39  Probably, the worst at my job. So anyway, I didn't know I that's the only thing I could imagine for myself. And I was like, I don't know, I don't know what to do if like, I don't sell a million albums. And this quest really helped me ...Lesley Logan 7:54  Just in case you didn't follow the quiz and a test is a quest.Brad Crowell 7:57  quantify, what I was doing in life into a, a skill that I could actually verbalize. For example, I was the guy behind the band, doing all the business stuff, booking the gigs, getting, you know, getting the marketing material together, actually promoting it, going out convincing people to show up, when we get to the venue, we'd be there early, I'd be hauling all the gear inside, it'd be connecting all the microphone cables and all the stuff and then at the end of the show, we would go to the venue and then we'd get paid, right? And it was like a whole, there's all these other things that happen around the band, that don't actually have anything to do with playing. Right. And I was doing ...Lesley Logan 8:43  He did play too, by the way. He said he's the man behind the band, but he's also the man in the band.Brad Crowell 8:47  Yeah, it was in the band, too. But basically, I had to do all these other things. And I didn't really, I never really understood that what I was doing was operations. And so when I took the Strengths Finders quest, what made me realize is that ... (Lesley: I just, can you imagine ...) For those of you who can't see, she's shaking her head.Lesley Logan 9:08  Yeah. Now, look, here's this, they're not like we're not affiliated with them ... (Brad laughs) This is not ... the promo. (Brad: When ...) Though it's not the copy. It's not the copy.Brad Crowell 9:18  It allowed me to tangibly identify what I was doing in a way that I could explain it to someone who isn't doing music, because that anybody else who's doing music, like, of course, you're going to haul the gear from the place to the other thing, of course, you have to rehearse, of course to do all these things. You know, it's just part of the game. But if you're not in a band, you might not really understand that and I certainly was not able to properly connect the dots for what I was doing, potentially being a viable hire at a company somewhere. (Lesley: That was not music like just that you could ...) Right. (Lesley: Yeah) And in fact, I didn't end up like the company that I ended up working for was a startup company and I ended up being the liaison between the CEO, the design team and the dev team because of my communication skills, and one of my top five strengths is communication. (Lesley: Yeah) And so, you know, I never would have understood, "Am I qualified to do this?" Well, maybe I've never done it before. But I can tell you that I'm really good at communicating and listening and understanding what they need. And I can go and I can communicate that to the rest of the team. And so, you know, it was just one of those really revealing moments.Lesley Logan 10:27  I think you all should do it. I think it's so important to know. I mean, there's so many tests out there, they all tell you different things about yourself. But like, even for me, I was I always struggled to understand like, why couldn't just do like, I'm like, "Oh, yeah, that's not I could do that." And I wouldn't like doing it. And so it's one of my strengths is significance. I like have to be do some, that means something, like everything I do, has to be bigger than the task. And it drives me crazy. But I also now understand like, well, that's a strength that I naturally have. (Brad: Yeah) And so no wonder I'm frustrated when the task is just like, kind of not impacting the world. I'm like, this isn't this isn't my strengths wise. So it just helps you make more sense of yourself. So take it and then let us know tag us and your top five. We want to know.Brad Crowell 11:10  Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. If you go take this test, this quest because of speaking with us, the you know what, we're gonna put a link in the show notes. If you want to go take this quest, I recommend it. And basically, we want to know what your top five strengths are. So you can you can just ig them to us, ig is IG. (Lesley: Oh my gosh.) So, now really going down. (Lesley: No, no we are not making that a word.) That was a bad one, that was a bad one. (Lesley: No, not and that ... winner.) I can see. That was that was pretty weak. You can just DM, you can DM them to us on the ig. (Brad laughs)Lesley Logan 11:43  No! No, no, you got to make one word up. You don't get to make three words up. It's like it's like multiplicity.Brad Crowell 11:51  Hey, it's my birthday. I can make up words.Lesley Logan 11:53  Happy birthday. I think no, I think in the fine print on birthdays, you could make it one word. Anyway ...Brad Crowell 11:59  Anyway, check the show notes. Really, I couldn't recommend it enough, 'Changed my life.' Okay. So ... (Lesley: Okay, let's talk about John.) Now then, let's talk about John Mollura, a travel enthusiast, ex NASA engineer and a lover of photography. John Mollura left the safety net of his government job become a multi award winning luxury portrait photographer, and he now works to empower individuals through portraits. And as a huge proponent of overcoming impostor syndrome to live out your dreams.Lesley Logan 12:30  I have to just share this I won't say who but one person on our team actually messaged us before you listen to this podcast and tell me all the things that she thought about it. And so way to go, John, the team was listening and talking about the pod before the pod was even released. (Brad: Yeah, our team.) Yeah, our team. Yeah. Yeah. So I mean, it was a great, he's a great person, and we're gonna all all go to Delaware and get our photos taken. (Brad: Oh) But I wonder if he'll drive out here to hang it because that ...Brad Crowell 13:00  Right, right, right. That'll be impressive, John.Lesley Logan 13:02  Yeah, cuz I would like to see how long it's gonna take ...Brad Crowell 13:04  Yeah and he also have helps out with wardrobe selection. So (Lesley: Yeah) you know, you're welcome to come to Vegas and do those things. That'd be so fucking ... (Lesley: I think you can do that on Zoom.)Lesley Logan 13:13  Anyways, okay. So something I love that he said is surrounding yourself with people who have been where you are. So he was talking about specifically investing in people who have gone through where you are, and listen to their advice and past. (Brad: Yeah) And, of course, I love this because obviously, we are coaches and we coach people, on past we've gone down, and But truly, I think so many people are like, "I gotta pull myself up by my bootstraps. I got to forge my own path. I gotta do it like this." Let me just tell you, it's so much easier if you get someone that you trust to be someone who invest your time and money in because you'll show up as a different person. And you'll actually take the advice. Like, for example, we go around and I have tons of people, friends who like have asked us questions, and we'd like given them a little bit of business advice or two, not a single one of them has applied any of it. And when we see them a year later, they're literally asking, they're be like, "I know, you told me to do blah, blah, blah." And I'm like, "Yeah, a year ago, I charge a lot of money for that advice and you ..." But because they didn't invest in it, they didn't put value on it. (Brad: Sure) And so I just, you don't have to do this these things alone and in almost any industry, except for maybe I don't know something in NASA. Someone has gone on the journey, even if it's not identical, even if it's like yes, I'm I'm a Pilates teacher who does business coaching but ...Brad Crowell 14:31  Even the guy, even even in NASA, (Lesley: Yeah) because he basically got brought under the wing of a guy who was like, "I like this kid. You know, he's somebody I could hang with." And then that became John's mentor.Lesley Logan 14:47  Yeah. So I just, I, I swear to you, every person that I see doing something I want to be doing, they all have a coach, they've all invested, they put themselves (Brad: Yeah) around and also put themselves in groups. So it wasn't just a one on one coach, but into a mastermind with other people (Brad: Sure) support them, hold them accountable, show them that there are opportunities out there that you may not even have dreamed of. And so if you are stuck, if you are not where you want to be, then I say surround yourself with people. Well, he said it and I agree. (Lesley laughs)Brad Crowell 15:19  Yeah, I mean, when you when you are around other people, you're constantly ideating, you're constantly growing, you're learning, you're referring things to each other, because you're all doing 'it', whatever 'it' might be. And, and then when you have a mentor, who's been where you are, that's the, that's like really a part of it is they know how much effort it takes, they know, you know, they, they're not going to sugarcoat it, they are going to be real with you, because they believe in you. And they know that this is something that can be done, probably because they did it already. And you know, there they are, where they were, or they are where you want to be. And so you know, obviously you're going to learn a lot from somebody in that position.Lesley Logan 16:07  Yeah. What did you like?Brad Crowell 16:08  So, clearly, I loved the Star Wars connection. And in fact, there's a whole lot more of a connection. By the way, side, total total side note, I laughed out loud when his wife said, your, your your skin looks the color of a, what did he say, wet ashtray right now? Because he hated his job. And he was just like, down the he was miserable. Right. And she said, she said, I laughed so hard, you know.Lesley Logan 16:38  I heard I heard you laugh out loud. Also, speaking of Star Wars, did I tell you that Jason went to the star... Jason Frazell from another podcast? He went to the Star Wars thing.Brad Crowell 16:49  No, down in Florida. Oh, yeah. (Lesley: Without you.) Everybody do that, without me. (Lesley laughs) Damn it J.Ah, that's okay. You can go with John. I'm sure he will go. I can go with John ... (Lesley: Anyways) So, so he started to talk about the story about the Nat Geo. And how he, when he was younger was like, "Wow, how amazing would it be? If I were to be able to be a National Geographic." And the odds are like, you know, like, microscopic, right? You basically, it's like trying to become a basketball player. Right. There's like one in one of their, like, 400 basketball players in the world or something, or in the US, anyway, and professional, I mean. And that, that's like, basically the odds of getting your, your photo published by Nat Geo. And he said, his hero, one of his heroes was (Lesley: 3% chance of becoming a basketball player.) 3% chance. Okay, (Lesley: Yeah) this seems even smaller.Lesley Logan 17:44  And less than less than 2% for women. SoBrad Crowell 17:46  Han Solo has a famous line in the movie where he says, "Never tell me the odds." And And so John had pinned that above on his board, were like, above the Nat Geo thing, "Never tell me the odds." And he didn't say how many years later. But that was always there in the back of his mind that he's working on it. And he's submitting things and he's doing all the things. And sure enough, they eventually published or included one of his photos and something, which is amazing. It is so incredible, is like the biggest bragging rights of a photographer to have. But, you know, since then, he's really taking that model to heart. You know, don't tell me the odds.Lesley Logan 18:29  I want that a poster on our wall. I can go above our new couch goal that we got.Brad Crowell 18:33  I'm in it. (Lesley: Yeah, I'm in. I'm in.) I'm in on it.Lesley Logan 18:36  I'm in. He's in it.Brad Crowell 18:37  I'm in it people. (Lesley: He's in it.) I'm in the downtown if you ask. (Brad and Lesley laughs)Lesley Logan 18:43  I'm sure there's a couple letters that make Brad in there. (Brad: Oh man.) Anyways ...Brad Crowell 18:48  I love it. So that was a that was I I don't think (Lesley: Well, you know ...) I've never really talked about this, but I almost went to college for photography. (Lesley: Did you really?) Yeah, yeah. (Lesley: I didn't know that about you.) Yeah, it was music or photography, and I ended up doing music.Lesley Logan 19:03  And now you do photography.Brad Crowell 19:05  And now I do ... Well that's because I was I've always been passionate about it. And and Star Wars and but yeah anyway,Lesley Logan 19:13  Well, John (Brad: good times) you know, made me think because my brain just went, "I'm gonna take you on the journey out." He said he's go... he wanted to go to photography in college if it wasn't music and my brain went to on Cambodia. He takes all of our pictures. And then it made me think that like John needs to come to Cambodia to take pictures because Peach could teach him a ...Brad Crowell 19:31  Oh, she could. Oh, yeah, our tour guide is a wizard.Lesley Logan 19:35  A wizard. Home girl knows how to use the iPhone in ways that Apple hasn't even taught us. I'm just gonna call it they've never said this. It's it's amazing.Brad Crowell 19:45  And we're not revealing her secrets. You're gonna have to come with us. (Lesley: You have to come.) Yeah. (Lesley: You have to come.)Lesley Logan 19:50  I do love that quote. I'm gonna keep it and remember it and even though it wasn't a BE IT action item. I think we should all like BE IT action item number one, never go look at the odds because ...Brad Crowell 20:00  Never tell me the odds.Lesley Logan 20:01  Well, because like, I think if every single person listening to this is like thought back about some of their accomplishments. I bet you all have beat me odds in some way or another. Right. (Brad: Sure) ... just so you know, the fact that you exist on this planet is a beat of the odds, because it's like one and 72 million sperm or something like that, that has to hit a particular one of them. Like, it's you beat the odds just by being born. (Brad: That's true.) Yeah. (Brad: This is true.) Anyways, um, but I'm down with it. And we should just like put on a shirt.Brad Crowell 20:33  All right. All right. All right. Finally, let's talk about those BE IT action items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with John Mollura? (Lesley: It's your birthday.) It is my birthday. So I'm take.. I'm jumping in. So he talks about overcoming the negative voices in your head. And I don't think that it was easy for him. And I don't think that it's something that's like 100% of the way either, because he talked a lot about it during the webinar that he did for our Agency members. But he mentioned therapy. And he said, it's one of the it was a really challenging thing for him to embrace. And the reason is, because he's very self sufficient. Right? So and he made this again, hilarious joke of like, "John, you need some help out there." And he's like, "No, no, it's cool. I got I got it's just a little awkward." You know, and, and that's his mentality for approaching everything, "Do it myself. I got this. I don't need any help." And I think that, what he transitioned that into, to therapy and why he went or how hard it was to go get therapy. But when he finally did, how powerful it was for for, you know, his own self talk, and how that began to make changes in the way that he thinks about himself talks, you know, to himself, and then how that's impacted him today.Lesley Logan 22:03  Yeah, I mean, again, therapy, it's like laundry. Do it often.Brad Crowell 22:09  Everybody needs to do it.Lesley Logan 22:10   Everyone needs to do it. Everyone needs to do it. Okay,Brad Crowell 22:14  What about you?Lesley Logan 22:14  I loved this. He said, like, somebody told them, like, "Somebody's going to do it. Why not you?" And I know you could say like, you can say that in many different ways. But the truth is, is like, let's just because the podcast with positivity, "Somebody's gonna do it. Why not you?" Why not you? Because I say this all the time to our and on Profitable Pilates for our business coaching, you are the only person who can do what you do the way that you do it. (Brad: Yeah) You're it because every single one of us has a life experience that is not duplicatable. (Brad: No) Even if you have a twin who did the entire life with you. You still have different personalities, you still have, like you, there's still different things you resonate with. And so I just, I know so many of you are thinking of all these different excuses of why you can't do what you want to do, or why you're not taking the next steps. But or why even you like who are you to do these things. But you're it,you're the only person who can do it. So why not you? And I just I think whenever your negative self talk is saying like, "Oh, no, you can't do it." And go, "Why can't I do it?"Brad Crowell 23:22  Well, I think that also like reading it again, someone's got it. Someone is going to do it. (Lesley: Yeah) You know, so someone's got to do it. But someone is going to do it. So why not you? Right. So and what I think he was talking about was quitting his job and making six figures as a photographer.Lesley Logan 23:22  Yeah, cuz someone's gonna make six figures.Brad Crowell 23:41  Someone's gonna do it. (Lesley: Yeah.) So why not you.Lesley Logan 23:44  Well, there's photographers making seven figures. (Brad: I'm sure, 100%) Yeah. (Brad: Yeah) So why not you? So whatever is keeping you back like, why can't why is it, why is it that you can't be the person?Brad Crowell 23:54  Yeah. You know, and that, and that's like, what he said was that, that stuck with him. It was a offhand comment from somebody that, you know, he knew and, and he said, over the years, he's brought that back (Lesley: Yeah) many times as, as kind of like a, it's almost like a mic drop. You know, like, when, when, when you're in self doubt, like, "Oh, you know, I am not qualified on that, that thing or whatever." And it's like, well, someone's going to do it. Why not you? (Lesley: Yeah.) Yeah.Lesley Logan 24:24  Yeah. Well, with that, mic is dropped. (Brad: Boom) I'm Lesley Logan.Brad Crowell 24:29  And I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan 24:30  Thank you so much for joining us today. How are you going to use these tips in your life?Brad Crowell 24:34  These 40 year old tips in your life?Lesley Logan 24:35  Yes, because it took him 40 years to get to quest (Brad: to boom) By the way, we are so freaking grateful for you.

EPISODE 73: 4x Ninja Warrior, ex-biochemist, and founder of Pull-Up Revolution & Strong Feels Good, Angela Gargano joins the boys on the podcast this week to talk about her approach to training explosiveness, overcoming injury on national TV, and the power of mindset. Both a fierce athlete and coach, Angela utilizes her knowledge of the human body to help others reach their fitness, health, and wellness goals. Before becoming a full-time multi-passionate entrepreneur, Angela worked as a biochemist at Brown University. Since throwing in the lab coat and goggles in 2013 to open her own gym in Cranston, Rhode Island, Angela has truly lived multiple lives in the athletic and entrepreneurial space, defying odds and setbacks to become an authentic and relatable voice to the public eye. Angela has now competed on American Ninja Warrior four times, won the title of Miss Fitness America 2016, and created an online fitness empire for women called Strong Feels Good, where she teaches women to ditch the scale and focus on strength and feeling as a way to measure progress. She has also helped over 500 women conquer their pull-ups with her online program, Pull-up Revolution. In summer 2021, Angela appeared all over the world as the Oxygen Magazine Covergirl, where she spoke about tearing her ACL on the Ninja Warrior course and coming back 11 months later stronger than ever. Angela is a huge advocate for speaking about body image, as she was made fun of growing up for her “manly” arms and build. She would hide in a sweatshirt daily at school to avoid being made fun of, and was rejected by many fitness modeling agencies. But this didn't stop Angela from now having 3 magazine covers and becoming an international fitness model in some of the world's biggest publications: Women's Health, Shape, Strong Fitness Magazine, and Popsugar Fitness.
