This week, Mark dives into the chaotic, absurd and quite often traumatic world of shopping with neurodivergent children. If you've ever emerged from a supermarket having to impulse buy paracetamol just to get you through the shop, then this one's for you. Joining Mark is the brilliant Helen Stuart – a mum of six (four of her own and two step-children - all diagnosed or suspected neurodivergent), home educator, and co-founder of Thrive Together Training. Between them, they dissect the minefield of supermarkets, the unpredictability of meltdowns triggered by automatic doors, sensory overwhelm, the trauma of shopping for clothes, rage waiting, and the unholy panic when you realise the supermarket has unexpectedly moved everything around. This is a laugh-out-loud, painfully relatable episode for anyone who has ever had lofty ambitions to do a quick “top up shop”, before ending up having to negotiate UN-level peace deals with your child in the frozen food aisle.

Welcome back to the Purple Patch Podcast! This is part two of our three-part series on the Off-Season. We've reimagined the Off-Season to help you thrive and achieve success in the upcoming season. This week, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon discusses the Purple Patch Off-Season, focusing on a comprehensive 18-week training plan that extends into the initial 6 weeks of the following year. This period, which we refer to as Q4, starts in October for most athletes and continues through November and December, with the off-season mindset extending into the first six weeks of the next year. Matt emphasizes the importance of structured training and smart Off-Season practices to prevent burnout and reduce the risk of injury. His approach covers swim, bike, run, strength, and supporting habits, and while our discussion will be centered around triathletes, the principles and approaches apply to all endurance athletes and fitness enthusiasts. If you missed last week's episode, we encourage you to listen to it first, as it lays the groundwork for a successful Off-Season. Our goal is to provide foundational information to guide your Off-Season planning. Committing to a well-structured Off-Season offers several benefits, including long-term motivation and decreased risk of burnout and injury. By investing in a proper Off-Season, you can set yourself up for a successful and fulfilling season ahead.

Welcome to the Purple Patch podcast with IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon. In this week's episode, Matt shares valuable insights into how athletes can improve their speed without spending more time, money, or energy than they already have. Matt believes that instead of relying solely on metrics and data, you can achieve "free speed", or "Smart Speed" as he calls it, by thinking outside the box and focusing on elements that maximize your overall performance. He covers various strategies that can help athletes improve their speed in all three disciplines of triathlon - swim, bike, and run. From counting strokes in the swim to taking walk breaks in the run, Matt's tips are practical, effective, and easy to apply. Whether a beginner or an experienced athlete, you'll find valuable takeaways in this two-part series. Part two of our Free Speed series will explore advanced topics like racecraft, mindset, and energy management. So stay tuned!

Swimming can be a frustrating sport, especially for those who don't start early. With 90% of your body weight displaced, it's like competing in the weightlessness of space. Moreover, finding pool times, commuting, and improving technical skills can be quite challenging, especially for amateur triathletes. However, as a triathlete, swim training is essential for overall improvement. You need to minimize the time spent swimming to go faster while limiting physiological costs and fatigue. Swimming also has a cross-pollination effect on other sports, such as improved cardiovascular conditioning. If you're time-starved and already have much on your plate, how do you get the returns on your effort to optimize swim readiness and splits? To help you unlock your swim potential, we invited Purple Patch Swim Coach John Stevens to the podcast. John is a world expert in open water swim coaching and technique, a former Division 1 swimmer, and has worked with many leading swimmers in open water and triathlon racing. During their conversation, John and Matt discuss five essential things every time-starved amateur should do to improve their swimming speed. They also talk about common mistakes, the best equipment for improving skills, the significance of strength training, the proper application of pool technique in open-water swimming, and several other topics. Matt and John reveal tips to successfully incorporate swim training into the context of your life and reap the rewards while uncomplicating your swim training experience.

Build Your Own or Franchise Your Dreams? This week on She Talks Business, we have a new guest, Ashley Gundlach, president of British Swim School, a North American Learn to Swim franchise. Unsure if you should build your business from scratch or use the support of a franchise? This episode will help you discover the pros and cons of owning a franchise, the flexibility and limitations, and understand the dynamic between franchisors and individual owners. This information is crucial for aspiring business owners, whether you crave the freedom of building something new or the fast track offered by a proven franchise model. The 80/20 Rule There is a popular principle called the Pareto principle, which is about understanding what 20% is driving the other 80%. When you focus on this in your business, you can see what is being done differently by that 20%. As certain businesses grow and scale in a franchise, the company must also develop and scale its processes as well. The support and processes helps to build a runway for all the franchisees that will grow after them. Managing Relationships When you have 150+ entrepreneurs with every personality type, it's a unique working relationship between the franchise and franchisees. By being transparent, franchises can have honest conversations about where their limitations are when it comes to supporting them. Whether it's a legal or structural limitation, there's always a way to compromise because the franchise doesn't succeed if its franchisees don't. Exploring A Franchise Any good franchise brand will follow a diligent process to educate a potential franchise owner about their brand. The process should be risk-free for anybody interested in exploring franchise brands. Throughout the process, you'll get a sense of what it will be like to be a franchisee of that brand and be exposed to the business's operations. If you're exploring a franchise process that doesn't feel like this, take it as a warning sign. Signs A Franchise Isn't For You Connecting with others. If you have difficulty empathizing with others, you'll most likely have a challenging time inspiring your team and connecting with your customers. Continuous learning. You must be open to learning from other owners and the brand to run a profitable business. Grit and resiliency. Every entrepreneur knows you must be resilient when owning a business. A franchise is no different. Problems are going to come up that you will have to solve. Pros and Cons of Franchising Pros You're not starting from scratch. You have a support team and mentorship. You have access to marketing professionals. You have a network of peers, so you're not in it alone. Cons Franchises have proven processes, so you can't do whatever you want overnight; it has to be a collaboration. There is a lot of legal involvement to protect both sides, which can slow some things down. If you are considering franchise ownership, talk with people who are doing it, whether they are people who love what they're doing or feel dissatisfied. By speaking with them, you get to see the complete picture of what it's like and whether you can see yourself in those individuals. This gives you further validation of how to move forward after seeing both sides and multiple personalities.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE (+ scroll for resources)
A few weeks ago, we aired a series of shows discussing the significance of the off-season period for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. We shared our innovative approach to off-season training and education, which is aimed at creating a strong foundation for future success. Now, three weeks into our program, after completing one training cycle, we reflect on the progress we've made and the lessons we've learned along the way. In this week's episode of the Purple Patch Podcast, we evaluate the areas that have shown positive growth and present opportunities for learning and improvement. We also examine areas that require further attention or potentially need adjustment. We draw on valuable insights from athletes currently participating in our off-season program, who share their feedback on the experience so far. Our aim is to emphasize the importance and value of this block of work in building a solid foundation for a breakthrough year in the future, rather than a pursuit of immediate results. We hope that this episode motivates you to develop new skills and tools to achieve success in your performance journey.

This week we welcome Jami Fregeau - The Neurodivergent Nurse - back to our podcast to help us delve into the new promise from 23 & Me that they can now assess genetic likelihood of having ADHD. We discuss the risks and benefits of ADHD genetic testing - is it maybe more trouble than it's worth? Is it possible to use genetic testing to our own benefit? What are the pros and cons of this new screening? We also placed our bets on which one of us would live the longest and no one is surprised. Thank you so much to The Neurodivergent Nurse for taking the lead on this round of research for us so we could have a real discussion with someone who understands what they were reading. You can find Jami on IG @theneurodivergentnurse and find her podcast - The Neurodivergent Nurse - on your favorite podcast streaming platform. Want more Ankle High in your life?

When I was a television reporter of 25 years, I covered a lot of tragedies. Unfortunately, many of those tragedies involved a child drowning. I didn't know until I started to prepare for this show that drowning is the leading cause of death for children under five. To talk about that today, three good friends, Emmy Roberts, who is working on her Girl Scout Gold Award, Greg Laird, the CEO of the Emler Swim School, and Auberia Stephenson, a Child Safety Specialist.
This is an episode that every parent needs to hear for sure, but after listening through it multiple times (because yes, it's just that good) everyone needs to hear it!I talk with Alliesha today who is the owner of the Aquatics Academy, a swim school in South Jordan, Utah. Alliesha goes through how water has played a big part in her life, how her and her husband turned an old rec center into what is now known as The Academy/Aquatics Academy and how the very program she and her staff teach to kids, is the very thing that saved her own son's life.*Warning - During this episode, Alliesha explains two stories of children who found themselves in water without adult help, but were able to survive, thanks to Alliesha's method of survival float. This is a very raw and emotional part of the episode and can be very triggering to anyone who has lost a loved one to drowning. If you would like to skip through this, it begins at 28:32 - 32:28.If you can, I highly suggest listening through these stories as it does bring an awareness and urgency on the issue of helping kids learn to survival float/swim as soon as possible!*I'm so grateful to Alliesha for coming on and all she and her team is continuing to do to help so many families, including ours!Instagram: @aquatics.academyIf you would like to see the statistics on drowning that Alliesha mentioned in this episode, you can view those here:https://www.cdc.gov/drowning/facts/index.html Insta: @munchandminglepodcastE-mail: munchandminglepodcast@gmail.com

Today I sit wth Alli Jo, of Alli Jo's Swim school, and more passionately, she founded and works with Project Connect (17:00.) They work with Monarch School, which is a school for homeless kids. They provide a Thanksgiving festival to provide a wonderful, normalized Thanksgiving dinner and events to a group that normally does not have what we take for granted. Great meal, then festival – dancing, carnival games, prizes, petting zoo and more. This event is 100% volunteer driven and everything is donated. One guy is organizing the cooking and delivery of 50 turkeys in a turkey caravan across the Coronado bridge! Honestly, if this episode and event does not touch and motivate you to try to be better every day – unsubscribe! (Just kidding, I am 100% bluffing – do not unsubscribe, just try to do better.)
