CHRIS NEWBOLD:                Hello, friends and well-being advocates. Welcome to the Path to Well-Being In Law podcast, an initiative of the Institute for Well-Being In Law. I'm your co-host Chris Newbold, Executive Vice President of ALPS Malpractice Insurance. And as you know, our goal is to introduce you to thought leaders doing meaningful work in the space of well-being within the legal profession, and in the process build and nurture a national network of well-being advocates intent on creating a culture shift within the profession. I'm thrilled to be joined by my co-host Bree Buchanan, and I'm proud to announce that as well, and I'll give Bree a chance to weigh in here, but I also wanted to announce that Bree has transitioned from the co-chair of the national taskforce for lawyer wellbeing, to the first president of the Institute for Well-Being In Law, which is a natural Baton pass from the national task force to the Institute. She's such a great organizer and we are in really good hands with her at the helm. So Bree, welcome. BREE BUCHANAN:           Thank you Chris. When you said that, I think my heart skipped a beat. CHRIS:                 You didn't know I was going there, but I felt like that's newsworthy. And I want to make sure that that folks know that Bree is continuing in leadership. And as we launched the Institute for Well-Being In Law, she'll be such a great leader for us. And today I'm very excited to welcome to the podcast, I'd characterize him as a quiet yet influential well-being advocate, Steve Wall of Morgan Lewis, and a conversation about reducing stigmas within the law firm culture and how to overcome individual battles with disorders while maintaining a successful practice. Bree, I'm going to pass it to you to introduce Steve, and Steve, welcome to the podcast. STEVE WALL:                          Thank you very much, Chris. Great to be here. BREE:                Wonderful. Well, as an introduction, Steve Wall is an award-winning attorney and a managing partner for Morgan Lewis & Bockius, which is truly a global firm. And we were just talking to Steve before we got started and learned that there are 2100 attorneys as part of Morgan Lewis in 31 office around the world. So truly, truly global. And it's one of the top firms in the world in regards to the number of lawyers. As managing partners, Steve is responsible for the global firm's practices, industry initiatives, lateral partner recruitment, and strategic business planning. And he's also, as if that's not enough to do, he's also a senior partner in its labor and employment practice. So Steve, thank you so much for being here. We're so thrilled to have you. STEVE:                          I'm very grateful for the opportunity. Thank you, Bree. BREE:                So Chris, I'll let you get us started here. CHRIS:  Yeah. So Steve, I think one of the things that we customarily do with our guests is just talk to you about what brought you into the well-being space. And normally most of us have some type of a personal perspective that catapulted this issue to the forefront for us. And so we just love it, to start with your personal story and how you found yourself where you are today and some of the challenges that you may have faced as you built a very successful law practice at Morgan Lewis. STEVE:                        Yeah. Thanks Chris. For me it's very simple. I came into the well-being community because of my own addiction to alcohol, which impacted me from the time I was a teenager until 11 years ago when I came into recovery, and I've been in recovery ever since. For me, alcoholism has been a major part of my life as it has impacted my entire family. Both of my parents were active alcoholics until the time they passed, as were many of my grandparents and relatives. Unfortunately, two of my brothers died of this disease. And so I count myself as extremely fortunate and very grateful that I was able to find recovery at a later point in my life than I wish I had, but at least I did. And as such, I believe there is much to give back to those who helped make my recovery possible. And as you mentioned earlier, to eliminate to the extent possible, humanly possible, the stigma that surrounds mental health challenges and addiction. BREE:               Absolutely. That is such an issue. And I'll tell you, I just jumped a little bit when you said 11 years ago. I shared my recovery story in our first podcast, but it was 11 years ago that I got into recovery, also for an alcohol use disorder. And I too wished I had not waited until I was 45 years old to make that change in my life. But it is just amazing the gifts that have come from those 11 years of sobriety. D you have the same experience? STEVE:                Absolutely. It's great to know that we're siblings in recovery Bree. Because those 11 years seem to have gone by very, very quickly. But my life has changed immensely. I was what you would call the classic functional alcoholic. And while my disease continued to worsen and the personal consequences of being an addict continued to take their toll, at the same time, I was continuing my career as a big law firm associate, a big law firm partner, a big law firm leader, and literally separated my personality between the addict side of me, which was the true side of me, and then the professional side of me, which is what I wanted you to see. And as we all know when it all crashes, that separation goes away. BREE:                Yeah. And so painful. It's like you are speaking my story to that separation. And so people wonder, it's like, "Well, how can you have such an issue with alcohol and yet you seem to be just hitting all the buttons at work?" And it's hard to understand. Let me ask you, just digging a little bit deeper, what got you into recovery 11 years ago? If you don't mind my asking. STEVE:                         Sure. I realized in my thirties that my alcohol use disorder was causing problems. It was causing problems in my personal relationships. It was causing potential problems in my professional life because I would engage in behaviors around drinking which today certainly would not be acceptable. Back in the 1980s, work hard party hard had a different meaning to it than it does now. And so I, I made the mistake that so many of us that have large egos and who believe that we can control everything about our surroundings, I made the mistake in believing that I could control my drinking. And so that started about a decade long attempt to control my drinking, which had positive consequences, because a lot of the negative things around my drinking mitigated, and I wasn't doing the stupid things and putting myself in stupid positions that I had been before. But then as we know the disease of addiction progresses and it doesn't get better. And so I then found myself falling back into the types of behaviors, the lying, the hiding, the making up excuses as to why I was late or not available for professional and personal matters. And that led to about a 10 year descent into a dark state. All of the things that happen to individuals around addiction. BREE:                Right. STEVE:                          My physical health started to worsen, my ability to have strong personal relationships with people was being cracked. My professional life was at risk because of circumstances I would put myself in. And it all came down to a Sunday morning breakfast in a diner where across the table from me was my boss at the time who was then the chair of the firm and my wife. Who had gotten together, and both said, "Enough." That my attempt to divide my life between my professional life and my personal life had now ended with a two by four to my head. And I had a simple choice, which was to do something about it and to seek help for the first time in my life, or to let both parts of my life leave because that was the choice that they gave me. BREE:                I ran into that same two by four, and it is a painful wake up call for sure. And so I, why we're asking you about these things, Steve, of course, I'm sure you know the point of this is to try to, for us to share our stories. So something resonates with one of our listeners who may be starting to think there's an issue, or they're worried about somebody else and bring that light on. Just another question, you said that you started to develop some awareness that you were having this dual life and issues with the alcohol in your thirties, but then there was this 10 year period that you just knew you needed to hide it, or borough it, keep people from knowing the extent of the problem. That's certainly something that I experienced. What was going through your mind during that period of time that kept you from taking the step to get help and start getting some relief and get better? STEVE:                          Yeah, great question. And it ultimately has to do with who I thought I was as a person. And I believe that in this way, I have a lot in common with many, many attorneys. Now, we are trained to be problem solvers. We are trained to be analytical. We are cheered and given great reward for the success we have in solving other people's problems. And as a result, we developed this false persona that there is no issue that we are incapable of solving ourselves. And the single biggest factor that kept me from recognizing the depth of my addiction and getting into recovery sooner, was my inability to recognize that I could not do this myself and I had to seek help. BREE:                Yeah. STEVE:                          And when it finally became evident that if I did not seek help, I was going to lose everything that was dear to me personally and professionally, for the first time in my life, 11 years ago, I sought help. And when I sought that help, I was honest about what was going on with me, as opposed to trying to project an image of somebody who had it all together and had everything under control. And if there was one thing different I could do in my life, it would be to have that moment of grace which I had 11 years ago about the necessity of reaching out to others for help when you're dealing with mental health issues. BREE:                Yeah. I think of one word that, that can answer that question for me. And it comes down to ego of you just sort of devolve everything down into what's keeping you from being honest, keeping you from asking for help. Which is, asking for help is not something we lawyers do very well. Chris, let you jump in here a little bit. CHRIS:                     Yeah. Steve, I was going to ask, do you feel like you find yourself where you are today without that boss-wife conversation? STEVE:                          Probably not. I have worked enough in recovery with other alcoholics and addicts to know that everybody's bottom is different. Sometimes the bottom is because you get caught up in the legal system through DUIs or other criminal activity, and that's often a wake up call. And I certainly could have seen myself headed in that direction if I had continued to use. Sometimes it's health. The doctor basically says, as he said to my father, before my father drank himself to death at the age of 55, "If you don't stop drinking you are going to die." And sometimes that brings people into the rooms of recovery. But for me, it was the recognition that my efforts to keep my professional life distinct from my personal life has now failed, and that they were talking to one another and both were going away if I did not get honest with both and deal with the mental health challenges that I had. So for me personally, that was the wake up call. And I'm grateful for it. I've expressed to both of those individuals how grateful I am. I wasn't particularly grateful that Sunday morning in the diner, but since that time, I've developed a sense of gratitude and understanding of how hard it was for the two of them, neither of which have addiction issues and found it impossible to believe that the person that they loved and had worked with for decades could not control this problem of drinking. CHRIS:                   Yeah. And I think one of the things that's... We talk a lot in the well-being movement about the desire for a culture shift. And I've always been of the belief that it takes individuals like yourself who actually have a thumb on the pulse of culture within law firms that could really be the catalyst for us to significantly move forward. Right? If your boss hadn't come and sat you down, this could be a very different ending. And Steve, I'm curious on your just reflections. I think I'm right in saying that you've spent your entire career at Morgan Lewis, right? So you've seen the firm grow up if you will. And just your general impressions of how much culture has shifted per se, in terms of, again, the ability for folks to have more honest conversations about things that are affecting them, particularly in their health happiness, which we know ultimately affects productivity as well. STEVE:                          Chris, great questions. Because I joined Morgan first as a summer associate after my second year of law school at Cornell Law School. And I then joined Morgan Lewis after I graduated, and then worked for a year on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals as a clerk, and then came back to Morgan Lewis. And so, my entire adult life, my entire professional life has been with this same institution. And there has been massive change, which is not unique to Morgan Lewis, but it's a change that, over the course of the last 11 years, I've been privileged to quicken and hopefully bring to the point where we can become an example of positive mental health awareness and practices within professional law firms. The differences are many, but I would say that the key ones are, I grew up in an environment where everyone honored working really hard, really intensely, personal problems were just that, they were personal problems. If you were going through marital issues or relationship issues, you just had to deal with them. If you were going through mental health issues, well, suck it up, because that's not what our clients pay us for. Our clients pay us to work hard, solve their problems, appear indestructible in what we do. And I look back now over my time at the firm in the eighties and the nineties, and I see victims of that culture. I see people who I know, if we had been the firm that we are today, we could have helped those people. They might still be here. They might still be alive, as opposed to having found themselves in situations where they could not extricate themselves from the horror of descent into bad mental health. And I've seen many careers and marriages and personal lives destroyed by addiction over the course of the last 30 years. So the work hard-party hard culture really needs to be put aside forever, because it just makes no sense. And the stigma, and you put it Bree, ego, the belief that we as lawyers are indestructible and that nothing should bother us, that's not what people pay us for. That cultural problem has to go away too, because it just isn't true. We're just like everybody else. In fact, the intensity of our profession makes it more likely, as all of you know, from the great studies done by Patrick Krill, the intensity of our profession makes it more likely that we will suffer from mental health than many, many other professions and many, many other jobs that people have in our economy. BREE:                Absolutely. So well put. And Steve, I just want to dig a little bit more into your story, because I think that there is further lessons for people that might be listening. When I finally had that two by four to the head and decided to do something, for me, I waited too long and I ended up losing my marriage and losing my job. So I went to the other side of what you wanted to avoid. But man, when it got my attention, I threw myself into every single thing that I could think of to get better. What was part of your recovery? What helped you? STEVE:                          Yeah. There was a series of things. It started with, I knew, but more importantly, I knew but couldn't articulate it, but wife and my boss knew that I had to take a break from the practice of law and from my service as managing partner to care for myself. I didn't know what it meant to care for myself. I was always physically active. I always ran and worked out and try to keep myself in physical state, primarily, so I could continue to work hard. But I never understood what it meant to care for oneself as opposed to taking care of everybody else's problems. And so I went to rehab for 30 days, and it was at the time, in the beginning, the absolute scariest thing I'd ever done. I thought my life was over. I thought my job was gone. I thought my marriage was leaving while I was away. I didn't know how to focus on what was really going on with me. I had never dealt with the fact that I grew up in an alcoholic household. I never dealt with the sense of abandonment, of being the oldest of five children and feeling responsible for everybody because my parents were not capable because of their own illness to deal with the things that they had to deal with. So that stint in rehab helped me immensely to be able to focus on that. But what I learned in rehab was, it would have been a complete wasted effort if I didn't make recovery, the single most important thing in my life going forward. And that didn't mean that I had to leave my job or change my personal relationships. What it meant was that I had to put through the prism of my recovery, every single thing that I did from that point forward. And for the most part, I haven't been perfect. But for the most part over the last 11 years, that's exactly what I've done. There was a six month period of time where I did not travel for work. I didn't feel safe traveling. There was a, for two years, I saw a recovery coach, an addiction therapist, at least two times a week, if not more, so that I would stay grounded on what was important, My recovery. I became a member of a 12-step program, still I'm today. I did a lot of service in that 12-step program and still do today. And all of those things were designed to keep me focused on that single most important thing, which was my recovery. Because without my recovery, every single thing that's important to me would then be gone. And the mistake I had made in the 30 years prior was thinking that the other things were the most important and that I can deal with this alcohol thing if I just had time. If I didn't have to work so hard, I wouldn't have to drink. If I didn't have to deal with relationship issues, I wouldn't have to drink. BREE:                Right. STEVE:                          And what I learned was, if I don't drink, all of those things get better over time. CHRIS:                    Did you consider leaving the practice of law? Or was the aspiration to get back there, but just as a different person, so to speak? STEVE:                          I was confronted with that possibility by my therapist, multiple therapists, by my wife, by my boss. I was confronted with, "Is it going to be better for you to leave the firm and do something else?" I didn't want to, there was huge fear associated with that. And where I ended up was, that I didn't have to. Because the things I talked about earlier, things such as putting my 12 step meetings in my work calendar so that my assistant and everyone else knew when I was not available. Telling all of the partners with whom I worked and telling clients with whom I worked, that I had gone to rehab, that I was in recovery, and that I did not drink any longer. Those are the things that allowed me to continue to practice law. Because that divide between my professional life and my personal life, that the lying, the hiding, the projection of somebody who I wasn't, that all had to end. And thankfully it did end. So the clients I spoke to about my addiction, about my time off in rehab, about the fact that I couldn't travel to see them, they were incredibly receptive. And their reception and their understanding allowed me to continue to do what I do. And as time went on, I began to help them. As time went on, a number of clients and colleagues who have come to me because of addiction issues that they're facing either themselves or with family members or with friends, or with colleagues, has allowed me to give back in a way that they gave to me early on in my recovery. And that's made it... In fact, now to me, it's inconceivable to me that I would leave my position until I retire, because I now know I can do so much good by being an example of a senior partner at a global law firm who's in recovery. And by being that good example, hopefully give others the hope that they too can deal with the issue and recover. And whether they're the spouse of an addict or the colleague of an addict or an addict themselves, I now know that I can give hope to those people because they see me, who I am today, different than who I was a lot of years ago. Hmm. CHRIS:              This is a good time, I think, for our first break. But let me be the first Steve, to thank you for sharing your story. There's a vulnerability that has allowed you to share your experience in a way that I'm sure resonates with many listeners out there. And again, your willingness then to both share that in a raw account and then be willing to give back and identify and help others in similar situations. That's what we need within the profession. The ability for us to step back, reflect, but then re-engage for the betterment of our profession and how it serves society. And we certainly appreciate your willingness to come onto the podcast and share your individual story. BREE:                 Yes, absolutely. CHRIS:              Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk a little bit more about Morgan Lewis and some advice Steve has for law firm leaders as we continue to advance the well-being movement. — ADVERTISEMENT:                           Your law firm is worth protecting, and so is your time.

And we have, again with us today, Steve Wall, who is managing partner at one of the largest global firms on the planet, Morgan Lewis & Bockius, and have been having a really amazing, honest, deep conversation about recovery. We really want to sort of switch gears a little bit, and let's start talking about the legal system in general and what's going on in the shifts around well-being. So I know some of the things that I know about Morgan Lewis is that your firm was one of the original signatories of the ABA's Well-Being Pledge for legal employers. I know, and we're delighted to say Morgan Lewis is a founding champion, a supporter of our Institute, the Institute for Well-Being In Law. Could you talk a little bit about some of the things that Morgan Lewis has done specifically around programming for well-being? And just different initiatives in structural changes? STEVE:                          Yeah. That I think you know there's so much more that we can do at Morgan Lewis and that law firms can do generally, but I'm very proud of what we've done under the leadership of our current chair, Jami McKeon, over the last six years. We were one of the original signatories to the ABA Pledge and proud to be that. We have had mandatory training of all of our lawyers on mental health issues within the profession. We have encouraged our human resources team, our practice leadership team, our senior partners across the firm to be very active with much empathy when it comes to mental health issues across the firm. We are committed to eliminating the stigma that comes with mental health. I often, Bree, as you can understand, I often analogize it to diabetes. If I had a partner or an associate who is suffering from diabetes, and as a result had to be quite disciplined about his or her diet and needed to ensure that they were able to eat and ingest food and nutrients on a regular basis, I would bend over backwards as a leader of the firm to ensure that that individual had what he or she needed in order to stay healthy as a diabetic. And we should be doing the exact same thing with mental health. We should recognize it as an illness that is no one's fault. There is no good or bad about a person who suffers from mental health. They are not evil. They are not weak. They are not bad people. They are sick people who need our help. And the more we can do to eliminate that stigma, the more we will allow people to come forward and ask for the help that so many of them so desperately need. So that cultural shift has been a huge shift within our firm, but we also see it in some of the ways in which we act. Morgan Lewis has a very special relationship with Caron treatment centers, which is one of the country's most well-known and best addiction treatment facilities in Wernersville, Pennsylvania. We have made arrangements for many, many of our lawyers to seek treatment there. We have helped the organization financially. We have invited some of their treatment personnel to speak to our lawyers. We've made clear that if someone needs assistance, they're going to do it with our help, not behind our back, because we want to know. Other things we've done, I mentioned the training. But we've had a special relationship with one of your colleagues, Patrick Krill, who has personally met with the entire leadership of the firm, our advisory board and our management committee, which are the top leadership groups within our firm. Had a two hour presentation by Patrick Krill a couple of years ago, in which he helped us understand the types of things that we needed to do to set a culture that was conducive to strong mental health. And we have recognized we have a very liberal leave of absence policy that does not distinguish between leaves of absence for mental health and leaves of absence for physical disabilities, which we all understand. If someone needs to have surgery on their back, we understand why they can't be available to work. Well, the same is true for someone who needs to take time off to go to rehab, to go to counseling to seek psychological assistance. It's no different than that person who had back surgery and who we recognize, explicitly, needs time off before they can come back to work. BREE:                One of the things I think is just indicative of the commitment, I believe Morgan Lewis was one of the very first to create a position within the firm. You have a Director of Well-Being, and that just speaks volumes as well. STEVE:                          Yes. And Krista Larson is that director of well-being and she is fantastic. And we focus, not just on the problems associated with mental health, but we focus on mitigating mental health. So as we speak right now, some of the things that we've done with pandemic is, we started several years ago and Krista joined us. We started what we call ML Well, and ML Well is an initiative involving hundreds of our attorneys and many of our staff in which they design get togethers, they design concepts, they design webinars. And we've used that base during the pandemic to really drive opportunities for people to come together. So it might be virtual cooking classes, virtual meditation classes, virtual yoga, opportunities for families and children to come together. All of that is part of ML Well. So ML Well drives a lot of positive behavior that helps us relieve the anxiety and the pressure of our jobs. The fact that we have yoga programs several times a week, that attorneys and staff can join virtually, as opposed to encouraging them to join a happy hour or just take a drink, that's the big change. I remember as a young lawyer really enjoying Thursday afternoon happy hours because it was a chance to get away from my desk. It was a chance to meet up with colleagues. And the fact that drinking was involved was just, that's just the way it was. We don't need to do just that anymore. We still that because the majority of our lawyers have no issue with alcohol and use it socially, and they should, but for those who worry about that, or do have issues, or want to refrain from engaging in that activity, we have numerous other ways to relieve stress, to engage with your colleagues, to get to know people other than working across the table or computer from them on the client work that we do. CHRIS:                    Steve, one of the things that we are actively working on in terms of our national movement is how to most effectively measure success. And I'm curious as you think about Morgan Lewis's investment in well-being, how do you know that the commitment that you're making is having the desired outcomes, right? Obviously you invested in Krista's position with a sense that there would be, either a return on investment, or the culture shift. And I'm just curious as you think about that, how do you know that you've succeeded or that you're moving the ball forward? STEVE:                          Well, the individual examples that I'm aware of, the individual lives that we've helped better, are enough for me. I know though, for every individual person that I have been involved with or am aware of, there are many, many more who simply see that example and have sought help themselves. I'm constantly amazed even with my openness about my recovery, I'm constantly amazed at how partners and associates will come up to me, who I've known for years, and will tell me how proud they are of the firm, that they've been in recovery themselves for five, 10, 15, 25 years. And I never knew that. I never was aware that those individuals existed. And now they're willing to come forward and acknowledge it. And by acknowledging it, they're changing the culture. But there have been many, many individuals who I know would not be at the firm today, and may in fact be dead if it weren't for the opportunities and the reach out and the positive reinforcement that our firm has given those individuals. By sponsoring them to go for help, by working with them on post rehabilitation, changes in their work life, by telling them that it's okay. It's okay that you're, for example, living in a halfway house while still serving as a partner at the firm. It's okay if you have to take off every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon to go see your therapist and still be a successful associate at the firm. Those are the things that we're doing openly for those people. And then you know in any organization, people see those things. And when they see that those things are okay, it gives them a license to take care of themselves better. So I don't need to see statistics because I know that the dozen or more individuals that I've personally been involved with have reaped great benefits for dozens more who see the change in the lives of those individuals at the firm. CHRIS:             Yeah. I love that. I also imagine that you're utilizing that in some respects in your talent acquisition of the new lawyers coming into the firms from law schools. Yeah. It certainly feels like work-life balance is becoming more prominent in terms of the next generation. And your commitment, I'm guessing, is part of one of those strategies that allows you to recruit the best and the brightest into the firm. STEVE:                          You're absolutely correct. We still hire the majority of our people through the traditional summer program. I'll be at remote in 2020 and likely remote in 2021. But prior to that, we changed up completely the social events around our summer program. I ran the summer program for three years when I was a junior partner, I know the pressure that a summer program that's heavy on drinking events puts on people who don't like to, or can't drink. I know intuitively that we lost Helen, who decided not to join us because the work hard party hard culture was not for them. Well, that doesn't exist anymore. We don't sponsor those activities anymore. We don't allow those activities anymore. The activities we have now around the summer program, around our new attorney orientation, around our partner orientation, around our partner meeting, the activities are more healthy. They include opportunities to have a social drink with a colleague, but they don't include open bar for hours at a time. They don't include, the only opportunity to engage socially is to hang out at a bar, at a hotel, in a hotel lobby. They include things like mountain bike riding in Arizona, and kayaking, and having a celebrity chef come in to teach us how to cook. They include the types of things that have the exact same impact on allowing you to take a break, socialize with your colleagues, relieve anxiety. They allow you to do all that without the unhealthy behavior that sometimes comes with a drinking event. BREE:                And also to have fun. Those things that you're talking about sound like tremendous fun. Steve, just a final question, it's of two parts. Do you have some closing words of advice for new lawyers who are coming on who want to be both successful and well? And do you have any words of advice for the more senior lawyers who might see this movement as a bit beyond their experience in law or perhaps even irrelevant? What do you have to say to those folks? STEVE:                          Yeah, I do Bree. And I'm in no special position other than my own experience. And there are two things that I would change in my life if I could at this point. One, adopt and find healthy habits to relieve the stress and pressure of our very intense profession. Do something that you love to do. Whether it's physical exercise, reading, music, volunteering, giving back to others, do something that makes you feel good. There's always, always room and time to take care of yourself. No one expects you to work yourself to death, which is the direction that so many of our lawyers, whether addicts or not, find themselves in. So adopt a healthy lifestyle that allows you to both be a successful professional in an intense profession, but to keep yourself well. The second point is, do not allow the historic stigma around mental health from stopping you from doing the right thing. And I don't direct that to people who suffer mental health challenges themselves, I'm directing that to healthy people who see unhealthy behaviors in other people, but because of the stigma around mental health challenges, stay quiet. They're embarrassed for the person, they're embarrassed for themselves. They don't know what to do. And if all of us who live a healthy lifestyle and who are managing well mental health challenges, called out and reached out to those who we see suffering, we will be able to help people sooner, more effectively, and avoid so many of the horrible things that we know happened in our profession and other professions. Even to this day, even myself, as much as I know, I have to check myself when I find myself thinking about staying quiet when I see somebody acting in a way that I know is indicative of a mental health issue. I wouldn't do that. If I saw someone clutching their chest and suffering from a heart attack, I would leap to their aid and shout for help. But when it comes to mental health, even I sometimes have to check myself and say, "Why aren't you helping? Why aren't you being proactive?" And all of us should be as proactive with mental health challenges as we are with physical health challenges that we see in our colleagues. CHRIS:                   Steve that's awesome advice, and obviously I think an appropriate recipe for, again, what practice leaders, managing partners. I still remain convinced that that real systemic change within our profession will occur in the individual law firm culture. And if it doesn't change there, it's going to take a long time to get there, but it can certainly be accelerated by the steps of individuals like you, who bring that perspective about balance, reducing stigma. Certainly, we're so grateful for what you do. Again, it's the like, I could call you a silent hero, right? Because I think that you are the tectonic plates beneath the surface that I think ultimately need to occur for us to accelerate well-being in the profession. So we are just very thankful for you joining us on the podcast, sharing your story, alluding to the great work that Morgan Lewis is doing in this space. And thanks so much for joining us. BREE:                Thank you. STEVE:                          Very grateful for the opportunity. Thank you both. CHRIS:                   All right. So we will be back in a couple of weeks, and our next guest on the podcast will be Paula Davis. She's the founder and CEO of The Stress and Resilience Institute, and perfect timing for her as she'll be coming on to preview her upcoming book release. Her book is entitled Beating Burnout At Work: Why Teams Hold the Secret to Well-Being and Resilience. So we look forward to our next episode and welcoming Paula to the pod. Thanks again Steve. Thanks Bree. And be well advocates out there and continue to march forward as we work to improve our profession. Thanks for joining us.

Having struggled with one of my side projects for 12-18 months. I was stuck and didn't know how to move forward Have you ever been working on something and it felt like you were banging your head against a brick wall? That's how I felt after working on elementaryanalytics.com for so long. After a colleague mentioned he knew someone who helped people by offering to be their business mentor. I thought this could be a great way for me to push forwards with the project. Having someone there who has "trodden the path" that you want to take. Helps your figure out things and maintain focus. Thanks Chris, our meetings every 4-6 weeks really helped.

I feel like I'm writing to myself. I use to write long emails to my boss. I suspected he wasn't actually reading the whole thing, so I started to insert lyrics for songs in the middle of paragraphs to see if he would say something. He never did. So I knew he wasn't reading all of my emails. Anyways, if you've made it this far check out Zee Avi's self titled album. We talk about it on this episode.

Transcripts Introduction Hello folks, welcome to the inaugural episode of Major – Stories of NCAA Scandals. In this show we will be covering the most gripping, gruesome, and groundbreaking scandals in the history of the NCAA. My name is Chris Brown and I’ll be your host, guiding you through every twist and turn these stories have to offer. For the last nine years, I’ve worked in NCAA Rules and Regulations, including four years on the NCAA staff. If you are anything like me, you love a good sports scandal. I started Major, as a way of exploring both well-known and unknown NCAA scandals. But enough about me, let’s start the show.Today we’ll be covering two of the most controversial subjects in all of college athletics: The Ohio State Buckeyes and NCAA amateurism. So where do these two meet? How did it happen and who was involved? To answer that we’re taking you all the way back to Columbus, Ohio, 2010, for the infamous scandal aptly titled: Tattoo Gate.Cue tattoo musicIt’s January 1st, 2010. The Ohio State Buckeyes are celebrating their 26-17 victory over the University of Oregon to win the Rose Bowl. Star quarterback, Terrell Pryor had been named the most valuable player after passing for 266 yards and rushing for another 72 yards. We will learn a lot more about Mr. Pryor in a bit. Spirits could not have been higher in Columbus. The team had a renewed energy led by their sweater vest wearing coach: Jim Tressel. Since Coach Tressel’s arrival at Ohio State in 2001, the team had realized massive success. Including a 2002 National Championship win in only Tressel’s second season as head coach. As the 2010 season approached, the Buckeyes were ranked second in the nation and poised to make a run at a national championship. However, whatever hopes the Buckeyes had for national championship glory, would be quickly derailed on April 2nd, 2010.Email NoiseOn April 2nd, Coach Jim Tressel received an email from local attorney: Chris Cicero. Now communication between Tressel and Cicero was not abnormal. Cicero had been a walk-on football player for OSU while Tressel was an assistant coach in the mid-80s. However, Cicero’s message would be that of a warning. Cicero had been approached by Eddie Rife. Rife was the owner of Fine Line Ink Tattoos in Columbus. Cicero and Rife had previously interacted when Cicero represented Rife in an investigation.According to Cicero’s email to Tressel, Rife’s home had been raided by the federal government on suspicion of drug trafficking. In the midst of the raid, federal officials seized $70,000 in cash and a significant amount of Ohio State Memorabilia, including championship rings. Cicero would go on to warn Coach Tressel that his players had been given free or discounted tattoos in exchange for signed memorabilia. Cicero even went into detail about Rife’s checkered history with the law, which included convictions for forgery and involvement in a murder investigation.Tressel responded accordingly stating: “Thanks Chris…..I will get on it ASAP …Happy Easter to you as well! Go Bucks!! Jt” Now you might be thinking to yourself, what’s the big deal? Yes, the players should probably steer clear of Eddie Rife, but why can’t they sell their memorabilia? Well to answer that question, we have to dive into the complex world of NCAA Legislation. Quick NCAA Rules LessonName, image and Likeness! No three words spark more conversation when it comes to college athletics today. Even if you aren’t a sports fan, you have probably heard rumblings about the topic. To break it down simply, in order to participate at an NCAA school, an athlete must be an amateur. Now we could discuss the roots of amateurism, but we can do that another day. What matters is that to maintain one’s amateur status, an athlete cannot receive more than actual and necessary expenses for participation. Practically speaking, that means that athletes are able to receive tuition, room and board, books and a small stipend for the cost of attendance. However, they cannot receive compensation past that amount. Now to further maintain amateurism, a college athlete cannot profit off of their name, image or likeness. For example, under current NCAA rules, a collegiate athlete could not sell their autograph for money. This prohibition extends to any benefit brought in as a result of their status as an athlete. It’s not uncommon for these rules to be broken with famous violations ranging from Reggie Bush at USC, to Michigan’s Fab Five. The regulations surrounding amateur compensation through benefits or money has been a hot topic in the NCAA for years. Many argue these players are bringing in serious cash that they should see a part of. Others argue that college sports are built on a foundation of amateur athletics and the influence of money could destroy that. Either way, one of the biggest teams in college football, found themselves smack dab in the middle of this issue. FlashforwardNow let’s go ahead and jump to the 2010 season, the Buckeye’s lived up to their always high expectations. The team went 11 and 1, taking a share of the Big Ten Championship and would be making an appearance in the Sugar Bowl to play the University of Arkansas. However, things were about to take a turn for the worse. On December 7th, 2010, the Ohio State office of legal affairs received a letter from the Department of Justice regarding football memorabilia seized during a federal investigation. Sound familiar?The letter included a list of the memorabilia items and how they were obtained. The items included Big Ten Conference Championship rings, trophies and uniform items. The purpose of the letter was "to make certain that neither the institution nor the players involved claim any ownership interest in the items being seized."University official quickly met with the athletes in question and began interviewing athletics personnel about the alleged violations. At the front of this headline was star quarterback Terelle Pryor. Now the word star may be a bit of an understatement. Coming into Ohio State, Pryor was ranked the number one overall football recruit in the nation. Highly recruited in both basketball and football, Pryor was the definition of a dual-threat. Pryor even was ranked higher than future NFL superstars Julio Jones, A.J. Green, and Andrew Luck. Pryor’s success easily translated at the next level. Over the course of three years, Pryor had amassed over 6.000 passing yards and 74 touchdowns but now, he was at the center of controversy that threatened to end his career as a Buckeye.Along with Pryor were running back Dan “Boom” Herron, wide receiver DeVier Posey, offensive tackle Mike Adams, defensive end Solomon Thomas, and Linebacker Jordan Whiting.After confirming the violations, Ohio State reported the violations to the NCAA and sought reinstatement for the athletes. Pryor, Herron, Posey, Adams and Thomas were suspended from the first five games of the season but were permitted to play in the Sugar Bowl, due in part to a lack of education provided by the athletics department. Along with the suspension, Pryor was forced to pay $2,500 for the sale for his 2008 fiesta bowl sportsmanship award, Big 10 championship ring, and gold trinket pants awarded to players that beat Michigan. Dan Herron, was forced to pay $1,150 dollars for the sale of jersey’s, pants, and shoes, alongside the discounted tattoo’s amounting to $150. Wide Receiver DeVier Posey was forced to pay $1,250 for the sale of his championship ring and discounted tattoos. Offensive tackle Mike Adams, defensive end Solomon Thomas, and linebacker Jordan Whiting all received similar penalties, with Whiting receiving the lowest form of consequences with his suspension shifting to only one game with a $150 donation to charity. Tattoogate - The CoachInterestingly enough, the most controversial part of this scandal wasn’t even the actions of the players.  What really made this become an eye-catcher among the public was the actions of Jim Tressel.Remember when Coach Tressel said he would “get on it ASAP?” Well…not quite. You see, the day after Tressel received the email notification of potential violations, rather than send them to the athletics director or compliance officer, Tressel forwarded the message to Ted Sarniakm, personal advisor to Tressel’s star quarterback: Terrel Pryor. Now Tressel would exchange four additional messages with Cicero during the summer of 2010, with Cicero continually warning Tressel of Rife’s potential negative influence on athletes at OSU. While Tressel would acknowledge brief conversations with the players in question, at no point did he directly discuss or advise against player interaction with Rife or the alleged violations. To make matters worse, in September of 2010, Tressel signed a document confirming he had reported any and all violations to the university’s compliance office when in fact, he had not. This lie by omission would later haunt Tressel. Initially, when the violations emerged in December, publicly, these violations were defended by Coach Jim Tressel, with him stating the money was used to support the players families in a harsh economic climate. Some felt this claim was a bit contradictory to the truth with the headline of the story being the purchasing of tattoos, something that was later once again defended by Tressel, with him stating the bulk of the benefits came from the sale of memorabilia, with that money going towards family support. Tressel himself would soon become the center of the scandal. Head Coach Jim Tressel, one of the most decorated coaches in Ohio State history at the time. When the allegations came out in December of 2010, Tressel pretended to have no knowledge of the events that transpired. Tressel’s denial, changed in April of 2011 when details of his inaction began to surface. It became known that Tressel had talked with players and learned of the violations yet chose not to come forward to the NCAA or Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith. OSU learned of Tressel's inaction and released the information in March of 2011. Tressel initially a received a $250,000 fine and two game suspension at the start of the next season. To demonstrate solidarity with his players, Coach Tressel would request that his suspension be increased to five games. While seemingly the end of it, Tattoogate would prove to be the ultimate downfall of this acclaimed coach, something we’ll cover as we dive deeper into the aftermath and repercussions of the scandal. Repercussions - The TeamBeyond the players and head coach, the NCAA Committee on Infractions further sanctioned the entire Ohio State football program following the Tattoo Gate scandal.  These sanctions included a one-year ban on postseason play, including conference championships, something that would prove to be a catalyst in an uneventful 2011 season for the Buckeyes. The Buckeyes also lost out on three scholarships yearly from 2011 to 2014.  In addition, the NCAA allowed for players to transfer to a different school without facing the usual formality of sitting out a whole year. This made it attractive to second or third string players who could make an impact on a different team but did not want to sit out.Further penalties included a three-year probation, forfeiting revenue sharing totaling $338,811 for the 2011 Sugar Bowl, and all 2010 wins vacated, including the Big 10 Championship and Sugar Bowl.Repercussions - The CoachOriginally starting as a fine and suspension, the repercussions of Tatoogate for head coach Jim Tressel only seemed to spiral, ending in what seems to be the conclusion of his career coaching football at the highest collegiate level. The stain to his reputation led to public pressure from fans and the media for further action by the Ohio State athletics program. However, when asked about potential termination of Coach Tressel, University President Gordon Gee stated: “No, are you kidding? ... I'm just hoping the coach doesn't dismiss me.” A joke that was not well received given the circumstances. Ultimately, in May of 2011 Tressel resigned from the Ohio State football team after ten seasons. On top of this, Tressel later received a five-year show-cause penalty, essentially barring him from a job in college football for half a decade and putting the final axe to his coaching career. Ohio State, while losing one of their most renowned coaches, actually used the scandal and resignation of Tressel to their advantage, landing coaching legend Urban Meyer as his replacement. Meyer, who had been on leave from coaching at the time, stated he had not planned on and would not have returned to coaching that season had it not been for the opening in Columbus. Meyer would lead the team to the 2014 National Championship before retiring in December of 2018. After a brief stint with the Indianapolis Colts, Jim Tressel now serves as the President of Youngstown State University, the same school he started his career as a head coach. Shortly after Tressel’s resignation, rumors of additional violations on the part of Terrel Pryor began to emerge. After refusing to participate in further investigations, Pryor would leave the OSU in June of 2011 and opt to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft being picked up by the Oakland Raiders.While Pryor did not materialize as a consistent NFL starter at quarterback, he found his role as a wide receiver in the NFL to be fruitful. Although a free agent, Pryor seems poised to come back for another NFL season. Pryors co-violators would all return to Ohio State the following year and enjoy breif careers in in the NFL and CFL.As for Eddie Rife, he spent three years in federal prison for intent to distribute and money laundering convictions. Finally, remember Chris Cisnero? The lawyer who tipped off Coach Tressel? Well he actually had his law license suspended for informing coach Tressel about Rife’s legal case and would later be disbarred for additional misconduct in 2019. Closing ThoughtsSo should student-athletes get paid? This is a question that’s been circulating college athletics from the very start. While many believe money brings in problems, problems that would ultimately bring a negative impact to the NCAA, others argue it’s unfair to profit off of these players while they do not realize any of the profits. Now fast forward to around 8 years after Tattoo Gate, and the NCAA made an announcement in 2019 that they will pursue legislation to allow players to benefit financially off their name, image, or likeness. Hearing this makes you want to question the true significance of Tattoo Gate.  A coach was given a show-cause penalty, a storied program was forced to vacate wins and championships, and players were forced to sit out over something that could potentially be legal very soon. ConclusionSo there you have it, a full-blown scandal, from players to coaches, to the very core of what makes the world go round: money; Tatoogate exemplifies the current controversy of amateur athletics. We here at Major – Stories of NCAA Scandals hope you enjoyed our first episode covering the world of NCAA scandals. If you want to keep it going, give us a follow on our social media at brown_athletics on twitter or major podcast on Instagram. Thank you everyone for tuning in, again I’m your host Chris Brown wishing you a good day and life free of scandal! Sourceshttps://www.forbes.com/sites/sportsmoney/2011/12/21/top-10-lessons-from-ohio-states-tattoo-gate/#6ee1c42d390dhttps://bleacherreport.com/articles/719411-scandal-at-ohio-state-part-1-of-5-the-tattooed-five-tressels-cover-uphttps://law.marquette.edu/national-sports-law-institute/tattoogate-january-10-2012https://www.espn.com/college-football/news/story?id=5950873https://www.thelantern.com/2012/06/breaking-it-down-tattoo-gate-scandal-costs-ohio-state-almost-8m/https://web3.ncaa.org/lsdbi/search/miCaseView/report?id=102374

On this episode of “Shenanigans On Sheridan” everyone hears about Phill’s epic fascination with cakes and how he uses them to put a smile on everyone’s face and nobody is upset about his use of cakes or what he does with them or how long he keeps them on top of the fridge or how many he drops or anything. Everyone is perfectly happy and excited to see what he will do with cakes next. Chris just gave me a polite laugh and then an enjoyable sigh after I read that to him. Thanks Chris.Don't forget to email us your Shenanigans at: shenanigansonsheridan@gmail.com for a chance for your Shenanigan to be read on air.

An amazing conversation with a brilliant dude. Thanks Chris! Special Guest: Chris Gates.

This is a ‘radio reader’ episode of an online article “Requeening” by master beekeeper, queen breeder and author Larry Connor. More articles and his (excellent) books available at www.wicwas.com Link to this article: https://www.beeculture.com/requeening/ Clarification from last week (Thanks Chris!) This is the Bush bees I was referring to...link below. Tons of good info on his website and even though I’d read a lot of it there over the years, when I received his book “The Practical Beekeeper” as a Christmas gift I found myself reading it cover to cover and really enjoying it. http://www.bushfarms.com/bees.htm

Dealing with a hive that appears queenless / Figuring out if it is really queenless / Bush’s Panacea Cure / Queen cells from micro-breeders becoming more available. ( Mostly beginner but with intermediate bits too) About the podcast: Leigh started with bees in 2010 and keeps around a dozen hives at 3000' in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, fully chemical free and without buying replacement bees since starting. When I mention Michael Bush in this and other episodes, this is the website which is a treasure trove of bee reading: http://www.bushfarms.com/bees.htm (Thanks Chris!)

What a pleasure it was to interview my friend Chris Lear for the first episode of the Coaching Runners podcast. Chris is known primarily as the author of Running with the Buffaloes and Sub-4. Most people don't know that Chris broke 4:10 for the full mile as a high school athlete, and was an All-American, running the 1,200m leg of the DMR for Princeton, when they finished fourth in the NCAA. Chris talks about his training in high school and highlights elements that high school coaches will find useful. I ask Chris what the one thing a high school coach can do tomorrow that Mark Wetmore and Ron Warhurst do with their athletes. Chris also talks about the role talent plays in distance running. Thanks Chris for kicking off the podcast with a great interview! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This episode of the Coaching Runners podcast is brought to you by my Fundamentals Education Course and the Boulder Running Camps.

A different sort of episode today! This is the recording of the DC Yoga Podcast, where I was interviewed by host Chris Parkison. It was a breath of fresh air to get to talk yoga, Ayurveda, and life with Chris in his studio in Shaw. I thought you might enjoy this conversation as well (notably because I think I explain Ayurveda in probably the most eloquent way that I ever have). DC Yoga Podcast is awesome. There are conversations with yoga teachers and studio owners from around the DMV! I highly recommend you check it out on iTunes and Soundcloud.

Episode 3 of the ForgottenMaverick podcast has us catching up with former Maverick Chris Anstey. An Australian Basketball legend, Chris came to the NBA at age 22 despite having never played basketball until he was nearly 18 years old. During our interview, Chris discusses many aspects of his basketball career. From how he got started, being a rookie in Dallas and adjusting to a new city and culture, the memorable March 1998 game in Dallas against Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, spending the 1998 NBA lockout working out with a young Steve Nash, his impressions of a young German rookie named Dirk Nowitzki in 1999, playing for the post Jordan Bulls, and more. Chris was really a pleasure to work with and I hope I'm fortunate enough to meet him in person someday. Thanks Chris!

Featured Content (12:00) This episode was inspired by George Couros's blog post, "It Is Time to Move Away from the Idea of “Tech Leads”? Here are the interesting quotes I commented on: For many people that have “technology” in their title, no matter the role, it means to other people “please come fix things in my classroom that use electricity”. "Another concern is that when “technology” is in the title of a position that is not about IT, it almost forces you to find ways to use technology in a classroom setting, whether good or bad. Go to a conference and someone uses Kahoot in a session, and then suddenly you have Kahoot parties popping up all over your school. Is this leading to deeper learning, or simply using technology more in classrooms for the sake of justifying a position?" Innovative Teaching and Learning Specialist is more the route we should go when it comes to crossing technology and curriculum. An ITL would assist teachers' integration of technology but more importantly, an ITL would work to improve instruction. Obviously, I would love to be in this type of position and make an impact on students AND teachers. So if you know someone who needs a guy like me send them my way!

Hi there and thank you for joining us for a series of informative, and we hope, useful podcasts for everything a wellness professional needs to know to ensure that their clients are receiving the best training possible, and therefore allowing the trainer to be more successful by having more happy clients. My name’s Chris Dabbs, and as always, I am joined by Simon Wellsted – founder of Unity Body MOT. Hi Simon, how are you? I hope you’re well. Simon: I am good Chris, thank you. Chris: Fantastic, okay. Well really what we’re going to be trying to do today is to acquaint you with what Unity Body MOT are up to and how Unity Body MOT can help you to increase your business. So our podcast is aimed at helping wellness professionals become better acquainted with how to help their clients more by helping them to train effectively while understanding that their clients will gain more when their exercise routines are tailored to meet their clients goals. While taking into account how injuries or infirmities can affect the outcomes. I know that’s a bit long winded Simon but does that sound about right? Simon: Yeah that sounds great. Thanks Chris, that’s a good summary. Chris: Okay. So really looking through your website and watching the video, which of course we heard as an intro at the beginning of the podcast, tell me something about how you would explain this to me if I was a wellness professional looking at helping my clients to become, well, fitter I suppose. Simon: Okay, so I start this by normally saying that a given client will be given a certain set of exercises for a given objective, and those exercises might be fairly typical for a range of clients. But what we are now beginning to understand is that certain exercises are going to be right for some, neither right nor wrong for others and definitely wrong for quite a few. And we reckon that that quite a few is probably 50-60%. Chris: Really? So you’re saying that more than half of the people, potentially, are doing exercises that are what? Injurious or will injure them? Simon: Down the line, potentially, yes. We use the phrase ‘laying the foundations for injury’. So they may not have any symptoms today, they may be perfectly correct, they may have no mobility issues, they may not have any obvious tightness; but what we do know is that if there are things going on inside the body, which we teach PTs about and the PT can find those, they can then make changes to their exercise program to get around those so that the client moves forward faster. Chris. Okay. So you mentioned changes or things going on inside the body perhaps, would the client be aware of these things or is this something that…? Give me an example, if I wanted to do some upper body exercises to try and get rid of my belly, how would your program help my trainer – my PT – to help me to, I guess, achieve my goals? Simon: Okay, so just taking a little bit of a step back, one of the key learning points from the training that we do with personal trainers and other fitness and movement professionals is to say that what they can see and what their clients can see and the information that the client gives back to the trainer can often give a misleading picture of actually what is going on. Chris: Okay. Simon: So they may say, “I’ve got really tight hamstrings”. And one of the key learning points at the very beginning of our training is to say just because somebody has got really tight hamstrings doesn’t mean that you have to work them – stretch them, mobilize them – that tightness of those hamstrings might be coming from somewhere completely different in the body. So we use the phrase ‘a robust and sustainable solution’, if you’re working with somebody and you are giving them exercises and their achieving the objectives in the timeframe that you would expect them to be achieved – fantastic. If they keep on coming back to you week after week and they’ve regressed, and the same problem is appearing, then that’s a really strong indicator that something else is getting in the way – somewhere else in the body is causing that issue – so just progressing with doing that exercise faster, harder, more frequently isn’t necessarily the right answer. Chris: Right. So, okay if something was ringing a bell for me in terms of, what are they called, you know the insoles that you can buy that are specially tailored to your feet? Orthotics or something like that. Simon: Yes, orthotics. Chris: Orthotics. The reason for providing that is because your feet can affect your gait and your stance and how you stand and therefore you can develop back problems or shoulder pain or something like that. So that’s kind of what you’re saying, obviously not to do with orthotics, but that’s kind of what you’re saying. In other words, there may be an issue arising from somewhere else within the body that prevents the exercise from achieving its simplistic goal of, as you were saying with hamstrings, of really sort of loosening up the hamstrings. Simon: Correct. We’re living in a press-button society, everybody wants a quick result for health or any other area of our lives. So people see that they’ve got an issue so people tend to focus on where that issue is. Orthotics is a wonderful example, I’ve done training for podiatrists and demonstrated that we can completely change the biomechanics of the foot by working on the shoulder. Chris: Alright, really? Simon: And that’s not as a manual therapist, that’s as a PT working on the shoulder. So just putting in an orthotic for a runner because they are seen to have a particular gait characteristic, putting in an orthotic to stop that characteristic isn’t necessarily the right answer. And we actually take PT’s through a process – a very simple, quick and safe process – where they can make those determinations for themselves, not just from a ‘should they have an orthotic?’ because obviously PTs are not qualified to put orthotics in. But they are qualified to help somebody achieve mobility through their hamstrings or mobility through their spine, whether that be upper or lower body. Chris: Yeah, I see what you mean because what you are saying is basically, if someone has a pain in their shoulder that could potentially affect their gait because they’re trying to compensate for that pain in the shoulder. Simon: Absolutely. Chris: Whereas the orthotic would mean that they don’t walk in that particular way. What they are doing is transferring, potentially, the issue somewhere else and creating a new one as well as keeping the pain in the shoulder. Simon: You’ve hit the nail on the head there; it’s creating new ones as well. When we’ve run training for podiatrists we’ve demonstrated, actually using them as models, that they’d come out and screen somebody’s foot and reported back to the audience what they found because their foot specialists. We’ve just then told them how to do something very simple on the shoulder from an exercise perspective, then told them to go back and rescreen the foot, and everything’s changed. So sometimes orthotics are required, but for very good medical reasons, sometimes they’re not. What we’re saying is that we can make a very, very good determination as a fitness and health and movement professional whether somebody should be working on their hamstrings, whether they should be squatting, whether they should be moving their spine in a particular way, whether they should be doing upper body extension of their arms in a particular way and we can then say, if the case in a particular client is no they shouldn’t, they’d know that. They can steer clear of those exercises, but also we teach them how to solve that problem as well, from an exercise perspective. Chris: Okay. Is there a simple way to explain to us how the PT, you know the personal trainer or the wellness professional, can actually find a way to work with that client to overcome it? Is it as simple as a manual manipulation of the shoulder? Simon: Yes, we’re not talking about manipulation here, because obviously personal trainers are not typically qualified to put their hands on people in a manual way – that’s a therapy. We’re not crossing over to therapy. Chris: That makes sense. Simon: Yeah, we’re not crossing over the therapy threshold, if you like. Chris: Well no because obviously the osteopaths and all of those people in that world are trained in being able to do that and obviously they need to be able to work alongside professionals. Would that be about right? Simon: Absolutely. What we’re talking about here is a client who doesn’t necessarily have any obvious issues. We use the term asymptomatic; they don’t have any pain, they don’t have any mobility issues that they are aware of, they’re not injured – because a personal trainer, and as they add additional qualifications to their own skills set, they won’t have the insurance to treat that injury. Chris: No, or the training of course. Simon: Indeed. However, we know that if we can help the PT identify that somebody, for example, has a high risk of a knee problem, and that is very simple they can determine that in about ten minutes… Chris: Well that’s my next question. Simon: Absolutely, then certainly for the foreseeable future, that PT should not be recommending that they go on a treadmill or go through exercises which put heavy forces down through the knee. We also teach them how to solve that problem through other exercise options. So they’re achieving the same objectives but not actually putting high pressures through the knee because that particular client has a predisposition to a knee problem and we can determine that and say what the risk is of that person sustaining a knee problem which is relatively new science. So it’s all about doing what’s right for the client, not saying, “Don’t exercise, go and lay down because you can’t exercise.” It’s saying, “Exercise is important but let’s exercise, for you, in this way because you have a, for example, predisposition to a knee problem or back problem” – whatever that might be. We will still exercise but we’ll just do these exercises which don’t exacerbate that particular issue that you have. It may not be painful now but, and then this is the difficulty that we have, in that people don’t understand that they have a predisposition to an injury. Chris: Well exactly there Simon, I mean that’s the thing, if you go and see a personal trainer and you’re undertaking a training regime you may not realize, as you’ve said, that you have an issue with a knee/back problem or anything else. Are you saying that the PT can actually spot that because of compensation or compensatory movements or something? Simon: We give the PT a toolset, a very simple toolset which takes no more than ten minutes to do once their competent at it, and they will be able to pick out whether somebody has a predisposition to a knee problem, whether they have a back problem, whether they have a predisposition to upper body shoulder issues and if those markers are in place then the exercise professional then has a choice: they can say, “Okay I know that, that is really useful information”, educate the client about it which is absolutely crucial, in plain English. Chris: Right, I think more importantly the plain English, exactly. Otherwise you’re potentially giving some bad news to somebody – I don’t know. Simon: Right, it’s got to be all delivered in a positive way. So the way our personal trainers that we train tend to work is to do these tests, they then say to the client, “Well, we know your objectives are to lose weight, to get fitter for running…” or whatever it might be, “because of what I’ve checked on your body, this is the right exercise set for you.” And if the client turns around and says, “Well what about going on a treadmill?” for example, they might turn around and say, “Well actually, at the moment you have a high marker that say you shouldn’t really be putting forces through your knee so we will train you in a different way.” Chris: Okay. So give us an idea of these markers that the trainer would be able to employ, or to identify I guess. I’m thinking it’s something it’s something along the lines of exercising and perhaps there being a perfect range of movement within a joint and then if the client can’t achieve that then that that’s an indicator, or is that too simplistic? Simon: It’s part of the solution. In our training courses we actually teach that there’s two types of biomechanics, and without getting too technical; there is biomechanics from the outside – what we can see – but most people’s view of biomechanics is photographic athletes with little balls on them and watching the angles of their body and various other forces that are acting on the outside. Chris: Yeah I have seen that. Simon: That’s called extrinsic biomechanics. What we are talking about is what is happening on the inside, we can now apply those same principles to various soft tissues of the body. And of course you can’t see those, they are hidden by our skin and our body, you can’t see for example how the hamstrings are pulling and whether their pulling in the right direction. Chris: Well no, exactly. Simon: But we give the trainers the ability to work that out through very simple tests that they do. Yes they have to put the client in particular positions and do certain movements with them that are designed to pick up those markers. And we’re looking at the soft tissues in the body, and that’s everything from joints, muscles, nerves and all the other soft tissue things that are inside our body. And we’re just picking up what we now understand as being markers which give a high degree of certainty that that person should really not be doing that type of movement at this particular point in time. Simon: That’s interesting because of course what that would mean, if you think about it, say I go to the gym and I decide I am going to take on a personal trainer to help me, I would be looking at a plethora of choice really, maybe five, six, seven or eight personal trainers who within that particular gym, and how do I choose? I think that’s one question, if you haven’t been referred to a personal trainer, it is difficult isn’t it? You know I wouldn’t know. So recently, in January of course like with most people – they go to the gym at the beginning of the year, I’m looking at the PTs and I’m thinking, “Okay, that one looks a bit young, that one looks a bit old, that one doesn’t look like they know what they’re doing etc.” so I end up choosing just one guy who seemed okay and who spoke to me in a respectful way. Now I suppose if there’s a way that personal trainers can differentiate themselves in that sort of marketplace because really if you look at it from an economic point of view, someone is making a big investment to become a personal trainer, it is something the love to do and they need it to pay for their own lifestyle don’t they? Effectively it is their job so this is like putting up a new offering, a new service, a new shop front; something to differentiate themselves from their peers who they’re also working with so that they get more business. Is that right? Simon: Absolutely, it’s a very crowded market, the fitness and exercise market. You’ve got personal trainers, you’ve got fitness instructors… Simon: They are different, they have different qualifications. And you’ve got group exercise people as well – Pilates and yoga and other types of exercise. And as with all businesses it is crucial to find unique selling point, something which you can say to your clients which is basically going to give them a hands-up that says, “Hi I’m here, I can do something different, I can actually make sure that the exercise program that I’m giving you is right for your body – tailored for you!” And that is a massive differentiator, it makes them stand out from the crowd, allows them to charge more for their services. Chris: I suppose it would do wouldn’t it? Well yeah if you’re better trained and you’re an expert in something, then yeah you have to charge more for the services. And of course you will keep your clients longer because they are going to be even happier with the results. Simon: Absolutely, I mean the crucial thing is that the client is happy. If the client can get to their objectives quicker, more safely but still achieve the objectives they want to achieve – that’s’ a big tick. If the personal trainer or the exercise professional that their working with can give them some useful information about their body and how their body’s working… Chris: Especially if they didn’t know anything about it is the first place. Simon: Absolutely. So help them in their daily lives especially if they’re, as is very common, somebody who is sitting at a desk behind their PC or driving a lot, then they can give that information. Just like they do currently with nutritional advice, it’s the whole package and this is just a new tick in the box to say, “I can give you a tailored exercise program for your body because I will be able to tell you which exercises are right for you today, which ones are perhaps not so correct for you today,” and if the personal trainer’s got the right mindset, some do some don’t and that is absolutely fine, they can either steer them in the direction of other exercises or use exercises, which they are the professional in, to actually help correct the markers. We can get rid of these markers and that’s crucial. Chris: Well yeah I understand. Again going back to the shoulder, it’s about making sure that the shoulder issue is sorted out through exercise and all that sort of thing. Well that makes a lot of sense Simon and really I’m getting exciting just learning about this. I think when I go to the gym next I’m going to be asking whether or not the exercises that I’ve prescribed are the correct ones. Should I be spending ten minutes on the cross trainer if I have an issue with my hip? Is it a good idea? Simon: Absolutely. I think that’s a perfectly valid question and people are getting more knowledgeable about their own bodies in a whole series of ways. When they go to see the doctor they will typically ask what these drugs or what this intervention is designed to do. When you go to find a personal trainer or any exercise professional, whether it be pilates/yoga, in a gym or a sports coach, it’s really good to ask those questions and get answers back from that professional say, “yes, your body is right for this.” And that’s really where we are now, we have this ability to get this knowledge out there as widely as possible so that the fitness and exercise industry can really be proactive in giving their clients the best exercise program for their objectives and their body. Chris: Okay fantastic. Well I think that what we’ve got now is a real opportunity for PTs, or any wellness professional really, that is involved in mobility or exercise or training or anything like that to really benefit and grow their business whilst helping their clients. So I think that in our future podcasts what we’ll be doing is looking at various tips and tricks that people can learn and actually use with their clients so that they can help them to move forward quickly. And Simon you don’t mind giving those tricks and tips to people do you? Simon: No we can give out a few. Chris: I think it’s a really good, think people will absolutely love that. And then of course, at the end of the day, what makes more sense is that Unity Body MOT offer a full one to one training system that you can either subscribe to and come along and Simon will help you with that so that you can learn a about how your clients work. You want to tell us a little bit about that? Simon: Yes. Our differentiator is that we look to provide training that fits in with the professional’s lifestyle and business. We put on public training courses; we run both a one day and a two day workshop but we also, and actually what I do more of, is the fitness professional will contact me and say, “Love this material, want to learn it. I simply don’t have the time to go on a two day training course, can you come to my gym and train me at my location or can I come to see you?” And I’ll do that and we’ll work out a package, and that can be on a one to one basis or a small group basis. The key part here, if we do that the personal trainers own premises, they can bring clients in. And they learn, obviously the client has got to be okay with this, but they learn with a real client so they can learn the skills and we can be helping a client at the same time. It instills the knowledge more quickly, they haven’t got to go away for a weekend and learn the stuff and then come back to their workplace and think, “Okay, how on earth do I implement this?” Chris: Exactly, so that’s the way you go on training and then you hope you’re going to remember it when you put it into practice, whereas if you have a live client with you – wow! Simon: Absolutely. And then what they do is they join a learning community. We’ve got a secret Facebook group where people who have been on the training are members and the idea then is that they can join that community and ask questions. Chris: And that’s so vital because that’s the thing, people are in isolation more and more and especially, if you think about it, if one out of the ten PTs at a particular gym is on the Unity Body MOT program there is no one that they can discuss it with so you feel very lonely, isolated and all of that knowledge potentially goes to waste. I love that Facebook thing that is brilliant. Simon: And we’re hoping to run other courses around the country as widely as we possibly can but also what I want to do is to put on what I’m calling masterminds, so that once or twice a year we’ll grab a room – at a gym if somebody wants to host it that’s great – or at a hotel or some other venue, people who’ve been on the training can come and collaborate through that. And they can bring case studies if they want, we can do some refresher work, we can answer their questions and we can give them an update because this knowledge is not static, it changes all the time and it is crucial that we give them up to date information. So if something has changed or we’ve got a greater understanding of something that we taught them, we’ll give that information on the mastermind so they’re cons

http://chrislocurto.com/how-to-move-forward-when-you-feel-stuck/ I am all about solving problems, fixing things, getting my hands dirty, and discovering the why behind the what...but what do you do when you feel stuck? Today on the podcast, we hear from Jill, who is struggling with just that. “Hi Chris, my name is Jill, I'm 45, I am not married, never married, no kids and have found myself in a situation where I am not working, I've been looking for a job since November, I moved across the country two years ago and still am not connected at all. I did that because I felt that's what the Lord was asking me to do, but I know that I'm extremely closed down and I have a business, I'm an AdvoCare independent distributor, have been since 2002 and can't seem to get myself to do that business and it's all about not having a belief in myself. I hear on your podcasts about life plan and agree that that's exactly what I need to do but I found myself having zero money, no ability to get to it and honestly I don't know what to do anymore. I'm extremely unhappy and that's not the kind of person I am, so any hope as far as advice or action plan would be very, very welcome. Thanks Chris, I love everything you do.” Wow! I know that there are a lot of people right now that can relate to Jill's question.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-324 – Josh – Overcoming Challenge to Qualify (Audio: link)       Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Good morning, afternoon and evening my friends.  This is Chris your co-pilot on this particular audio escapade.  This is the RunRunLive Podcast episode 4-324 and today we’ve got an interview today with Josh who has gone through a bit of a hero’s journey.  He has had personal challenges and come back with the help of some friends to qualify for Boston recently. The other interesting thing is that I don’t do the interview.  We got one of our friends of the show, Alex, to do the interviewing.  Alex is one of the folks who edits interviews for me, just because he is a friend of the show.  Today the tables are turned and I have to edit his interview! In section one I am going to give you a piece on how to come back from a big injury.  In section 2 I’m going to talk about trying to fix my obsession with the scarcity of time. My training is going well.  I got through the first 3-week cycle of my MarathonBQ plan.  I’m finding I don’t have the willpower or fitness yet to do the speedwork at a full 1600 meters and I’ve been doing 800’s instead.  My speed and strength are coming back nicely.  I did a long run of 15 last weekend and felt fine the whole way through.  I even felt strong enough to kick at the end. I’ve been doing my speedwork on the treadmill at work, which has its pro’s and con’s.  It’s convenient and you can make the workout very structured.  On the other hand I’m always concerned about the real-to-life equivalency.  And I don’t just mean the effort levels are different. I mean there is a certain specificity to being outside in the elements that is beneficial. I’ve got a long way to go, but I’m not struggling like I was when my heart was all wonky last year.  Very hopeful.  I haven’t scheduled any goal races yet but I have my eye on a few. My next scheduled race is the Ayer Fire Dept. 5K on American Thanksgiving morning.  This will be a good test of how much I’ve managed to move my race pace set point.  I’ll treat it as a tempo workout.  I’ll go over and run the course before the race to warm up, then I’ll race it hard to see what pace I can hold.  It will be a good indicator. I’m eyeballing a ½ in Atlanta on Dec 13th which would work well as a marathon pace run. You have to trust your training plan but it can be useful to pick up some directional data points along the way.  I have the Groton Marathon on December 27th – which is a self-supported 26.2 mile run that me and some buddies from my running club put on each year.   If I treat that as a last long run that points to a qualifying try somewhere around January 10th. If I screw the pooch on that one I could regroup and try again in February.  I don’t have a number for Boston, but these things have a way of working out for me. … In the spring my company upgraded me to the iPhone 6, which was nice.  But I kept dropping it and breaking it.  They made me buy a better case and I bought the LifeLock case. It’s quite bulky. It reminds me of something that the Soviets would have designed.  But, supposedly it is 100% waterproof and it has kept me from breaking the phone again. One challenge is that the hole for the headphones is now rather deep and has a screw-in feature that makes it impossible to use most headphones – especially the Bose headphones I run with and the big noise canceling headphone I use mowing the lawn and using the chainsaw etc. As a result I had to either not listen to my phone when I was doing stuff, which kills me because I love to double task, or take it out of the case, which totally defeats the purpose of having a case in the first place. But, fear not, there is a cable adapter that is about 4 inches of cable with the screw-in tip that you can theoretically buy.  Except you can’t buy it in any of the stores I went to.  They’d all say the same thing to me “you can buy that on line for a dollar”.  Which is not so helpful. I went on-line to buy it from Amazon and was a bit flummoxed that the .97$ adapter was going to cost me $10 in shipping.  I ordered it anyhow.  This was in the beginning of August.  After a few weeks it hadn’t shown up.  I checked the order status and it appeared to make it as far as a distribution center in Worcester and then disappeared. I sent an email to the company to tell them I never got it and they agreed with me.  But nothing else happened.  It’s nice to be agreed with, but I still needed a cable adapter and we’re going on more than a month. I ordered another one.  Just this past week I got it.  It’s quite useful.  Because not only can I listen to punk rock while I’m doing speedwork, which is quite helpful, but I can run in the pouring rain with it.  It’s waterproof.  Seriously, like, throw in the toilet and let it sink to the bottom, waterproof. There’s no moral or life lesson here.  I’m just happy that it appears I’ve finally found a piece of audio technology that I can’t kill with toxic Chris juice. On with the show! Section one - Running Tips Conming back from a big injury - Voices of reason – the conversation Josh – The hero’s journey from challenge through resolution to BQ Josh Butler - @Butler_Live2Run Hi Chris, I've been meaning to send you an email for some time, but felt like I needed to accomplish something of merit before I did (mid-packer merit anyway). Here is a much too long summary of my journey to qualify for Boston this past weekend. I know you are very busy and If you want to skip all my drivel, I have contact info at the end and we can discuss this in a call. A bit of backstory... I ran cross country and track in high school and ran a bit in the army after high school. When started college, along with my studies, I found other more "interesting" things to occupy time. Youth allowed me to still look fit regardless of my lifestyle. It all caught up with me when I injured my back in graduate school. In a research lab of all places. It turned out to be a herniated disc. I went with a conservative approach for treatment for several years until it became debilitating. During this period, I was unable to do anything active and gained 40 pounds. Ultimately, I ended up having a surgery in 2005 to replace the degenerated disc with an artificial disc (titanium hardware). The surgery went well and I started running again after a few months. I dropped a bit of the weight but began to have problems again after a year. All this time, my activity was non-existent and a gained the original 40 lbs back, plus another 20. I was a fat, pitiful slug. I went through several cycles of trying to reduce the medications and get more exercise (they recommend walking, "...running is bad for your knees"). I would get a little better, but would always get a flare up from pushing a little too much. In 2012, I started a new job and was referred to a physical therapist by a coworker that had suffer with back pain but had recovered. I never had luck with any physical therapist in the past, but was willing to try anything. On our first meeting, she asked what my goals were. I told her that I wanted to be able to exercise, specifically run. To my surprise, and unlike all the other medical professionals in the past, she told me she could get me there. It was nearly a 2 year process, but through a multifaceted approach including strengthening, dry needling, and yoga. I was given the green light for running. My first run was a bit of a disappointment; I struggled to maintain a jog for the 0.8 mile jog around our block. I kept at it for several months until I was able to run up to 6 miles at a 8:00 to 8:30 pace. I did a few 5k's and started to look for a new goal. I signed up for a half-marathon in November 2014 and found a training plan online. While all of this was happening, I found I needed less and less pain medication to function and I could mentally manage the pain I was having. I'm not sure if this was a result of relearning natural pain management through running, getting in better overall condition, dropping 50 lbs, or a combination of all three. My first half was a success and I came in with a respectable 1:29:22. In less than a year, I went from a overweight, pain med slug, to a half-marathoner. I heard you mention "keystone habits" on several occasions in your podcasts, and I would animatedly agree the endurance running is a great one. Things started to fall in to place in my life. I felt better physically and mentally, and as an added bonus, all of my interpersonally relationships improved as a result. I was accomplishing things I thought I could never do as a runner, which in turn carried over to my career. Nothing seemed impossible anymore. With a successful half under my belt, I began the search for the next BHAG. THE BOSTON MARATHON!!! I did some research and found out what the qualification standards were, signed up for a race, and began my next training cycle. As a side note, I have 3 daughters (ages 1,2, and 9), a wife that works full-time, and I have a job that requires long hours and fairly frequent domestic/international travel (80-125 days/year). I really struggled with the training plan. The plan was so complex that I had a very hard time doing the workouts during my travels. Another complication was that I did all of my workouts at home after 9:30pm when we got the kids to bed. Complex track workouts are made even more complex by headlamp (as you know, not being a stranger to night runs). Coming face-to-face with a badger at night also adds complexity. I did my best to stick to the training plan and ran my first marathon in May  2015. The first 16 miles felt great, so great that I decided to increase my pace to 7:05 miles. I slowed down to goal pace for miles 16-21, but it was already to late. I seized up in my arms and legs and did the Robocop death shuffle to finish at 3:44. I was crushed. In the week following, I started doing some more research on marathon training. This is when I found this "new thing" called a podcast (I used to be an early adopter of tech and social media...not sure what happened the past few years). I promptly subscribed to every running podcast I could find and listened to them at every available moment. After the first week of this, yours was a clear winner. It was like having Master Yoda in my ear. I listened to every episode on iTunes, and then went back to listen to all of the episodes in the archives. Not only were you informative and motivational for running, but also in you segments on life, change, and dealing with people. You really do a great job of illustrating the interconnection of all things in life. When you mentioned your books, I quickly purchased every one for my Kindle an read them whenever I had a free moment. I enjoyed every one of your books, and MarathonBQ was a great fit for what I wanted to accomplish. The plan was tough, an at 40 I thought I may be too old for such an aggressive approach, but in the final month of my preparation for The Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon I knew I had made a ton of progress since my last marathon campaign. I loved the simplicity of the speed/tempo work, but hated doing the workouts in the beginning. I definitely ended up in the dark place during the training period. Your writings and your spoken words helped me through it all. You gave me the insight to stay positive and motivated through the training cycle. Now I have more of a love/hate relationship with the track work. Come race day, I was ready. The BQ time for 40-44 is 3:15. I trained and did all of my speed work to qualify with 3:12:30. After qualifying, I didn't want the disappointment of qualifying and not making the cut to register. I traveled from home in Fort Collins, CO to Milwaukee last Friday, along with my 2 year old daughter, and stayed with my parents in a nearby town. We had a family gathering on Saturday and I worried that I jeopardized my race by being on my feet all day, but race morning I was ready to give all I had. I stuck with the 3:15 pace group for the first few miles to keep my adrenaline in check. I bumped it up a bit to come in at a 7:20 avg pace at the half. I continued to mile 16 and felt the race unfolding in my favor and clocked a 7:18 avg pace for miles 13.1-20. Then the race was on, I dug deep. It was my day to get it done. I finished the final 6.2 miles with a 7:13 avg pace. My final time was 3:11:07; BQ with 3:53 to spare. It was amazing how much you were in my head during the race. "Let the race come to you...", "spin up the hills...", "keep it under control until mile 20, then the race begins...". Most of all, it is painful in the later miles. You have talked about this in your podcast and how to embrace the pain. Your words were most important at this point in the race. They helped keep me positive and prevented me from giving up. I think this is a function of your plan as well. In the other plans I have tried, I didn't get to practice "pain and fatigue" as much as I did with yours. Furthermore, I thought about that last cycle of training tempo runs in the final 6 miles of the race. I remembered how I thought I could never get through that many mile repeats, but in the end I did. I also feel very strongly that the speed/tempo work has greatly improved my form and running economy. I don't see wear marks on my heels anymore. All in all, it was a great journey, and a great beginning to the next chapter in my life. What have I learned from all of this? 1) Anything is possible. There is nothing that cannot be accomplished with the right resources allocated to it. It's really about prioritization and how badly you want it. I have a demanding full-time job that requires travel, young children, and a multitude of other things that demand my time. Not to mention a bunch of hardware in my lower back. If I can do it, anyone can. 2) Pain is manageable/controllable without medication. You just need to teach your brain how to manage it. This, like all crafts that you attempt to master, requires training. I believe this is a big component of the transformational power of endurance sports. This was a big part of my journey and I largely credit running with getting completely off of pain medication for the past 18 months. This is the skill that also allowed me to ride the knife edge to run a BQ. 3) You never know where you may find knowledge to help you on your journey. In the past, I never understood the appeal of podcasts. I never imagined I would find one that felt like it was made just for me. When you find inspiration and sage advice, grab hold and use it to its' full advantage. 4) Most importantly, positivity is always the answer, regardless of the question or challenge. Thanks Chris. You have been like a life coach. I know this podcast endeavor requires a lot of your time and I really appreciate that there are people like you in the world that share their knowledge and inspiration. I would still love to have a chat with you about all of this. I know you have a busy schedule, but if you give me a couple of available time slots, I would be happy to call. Sincerely, Joshua Butler Fort Collins, CO 80524 Section two – On the abundance of time - Outro - Closing comments MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Ok Folks, that was episode 4-324.  Hope you enjoyed it.  Hope everyone is having a wonderful Halloween.  At our house we practice Satanic rituals year round – so there’s really no novelty to Halloween. Hey, so, Buddy the old Wonder Dog is doing awesome.  These new supplements we’ve got him on called GlycoFlex from VetriScience really help him from getting sore.  He’s doing 2-3 runs a week with me out in the woods and he’s doing well.  The combination of the cold weather and the supplements have made a new man out of him. Running in the trails makes my ankles stronger which is the key to surviving the zombie apocalypse.  I mean seriously, doesn’t someone always sprain their ankle when they are getting chased by the undead?  Weak ankles are the number one cause of being eaten by zombies. … A little house keeping:  There are two feeds in Itunes for the RunRunLive Podcast.  I’m going to kill off the old feed at the end of the year.  I’m going to repeat this message every episode until then. If you subscribe through FeedBurner, that is going away.  Go to Libsyn.com and search for RunRunLive and subscribe to that RSS or go to my website RunRunLive.com and subscribe to that RSS feed.  Either way you’ll have a direct pipe to everything I publish and you can still avoid iTunes. If you subscribe through Libsyn or my site already then you’re all set, nothing will happen. Now, the majority of you subscribe through iTunes.  If you go into the iTunes store, type RunRunLive into the search box in the upper right and hit enter.  You will see two shows. You can tell the old one two ways.  One is by the picture.  It is fatter.  The other is by the description.  The old one will say “Welcome to the Run-Run-Live Podcast…”  The new feed will say “Welcome to the RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast…” If you are subscribed to the old one it is going away eventually.  Subscribe to the new one. And when, two months from now, you have totally ignored this message, well I guess we can’t be friends any more.  Seriously – I’m going to put all this into a post with pictures for you just go to my website and search on “I’m a lazy dumb-ass who doesn’t take direction well”.  Just kidding.  There’s a search box on my blog just search of ‘Feed’ and you should find it.  I’ll put it up tonight when I post the show and drop a link in the show notes ->  Update! I’m going to kill this feed -> This is the new one -> https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/runrunlive-4.0-running-podcast/id582662361?mt=2 … Now that I’ve insulted you thoroughly…the other thing I’m going to do is to convert my main site to a membership site at the end of the year.  I don’t know what form that will take, I’m still working on it and I’m open to suggestions. Reading through the comments in iTunes I get the impression that some of you are more invested in the show than I am!  Don’t worry, it’s all good.  We’ll figure it out.  I’m not in this as a career, more as a way to sweep the cobwebs around in my head with the added benefit of helping someone find something interesting by the side of their path once in a while. .. I’ll let you off easy this week.  Even though our time together is abundant I find that the things I want to do are more abundant! I’ll leave you with a funny story.  Not the one that I told my sister Jody last night about wandering into the woman’s room in the mall after my eye appointment – that’s a funny story, but I may have to wait for the statute of limitations before I can tell it. The funny story is how I found another year I didn’t know I had. Here’s what happened.  I went in to get my colonoscopy that they could give me last year because of the heart, you may remember that episode, but anyhow… The nurse was checking me in.  She said ‘look over these forms and make sure all the information is right’.  And, me, being literal, looked over the forms for mistakes. I said, “The age is wrong, it says here I’m 52. I was born in ’62 and it’s 2015. Five minus 2 is 3, I’m 53 going on 54. “  She looks at the form and gives me that ‘you’re a dumbass’ look that nurses are particularly good at and says, “Your birthday in is November.” So, yeah I had convinced myself that I was going to be 54 this year.  Somehow I feel much younger now! But, as you know, I have an abundance of time. I’ll see you out there – and for another 12 months evidently... MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks -

Reading keeps your mind sharp!  Do more of it!  Sex At Dawn, by Christopher Ryan is a great read that explains a lot about human nature and why we are who we are.  A must read in my book.  Thanks Chris for writing this book!!!   Follow Christopher Ryan on Twitter  www.goodinthemorning.com www.facebook.com/goodinthemorning www.twitter.com/goodinthemorning

Artist Chris Brunner is very dear to the Dollar Bin podcast. He's been with us since the semi-early days and our first appearance at the Charlotte Minicon (It makes me really sad that I can't find this interview mp3, so if you have it can you send it to me?) where we had a fascinating discussion on the effectiveness of a lightsaber on Luke Cage. Chris has been captivating us over the years with amazing art, like what you can find in the comic Loose Ends. He has also captured our hearts with his friendship, spirit, and lively, thought provoking discussions. Thanks Chris.

This episode Peter and Ivan discuss the possibility of perpetual motion. Thanks to @ironring1 for submitting your question.

Hey everybody, check this shit out! We’re back! We haven’t gotten fired yet, and I don’t know about you guys, but as far as I’m concerned, that is NOT a familiar feeling. Thanks Chris and Brian! Finally somebody has faith in my crazy ideas! (I’m looking at you Mom). This week we take on the truly groundbreaking 1988 classic, “Straight Outta Compton”. I was tempted to write this in some clever fashion, with lots of puns and references to how white we are, but as funny and subversive that kind of humor is, I guess I’m just feeling a little blasé this week. I do want to comment on how hilariously silly the lyrics to this album are, and how much things have changed in the intervening 25 years since Straight Outta Compton was released. What seemed scary and “other” has been so co-opted, that now even the unintentionally hilarious is just as funny as the intentional. In fact, sometimes it’s hard for me to discern between the two. When we were recording I kept trying to remind myself to tell a story but I eventually forgot. I suppose I should share it with you here. At some point in the show I give a character profile of a guy I went to high school with named Judd. There are only 2 things I really remember about Judd. At parties, he would only drink Gatorade mixed with Peppermint Schnapps. He pretty much only listened to NWA. OH! .And He drove a kick ass HUGE 70’s van, (yes, he had a moustache). It was the first car I had ever ridden in that had neither a working speedometer nor gas gauge; made for lots of adventures, but those are for another day. When that van finally died, he bought an identical one. That was just his identity by that point, you know? When I was in 10th grade Judd and I went to Padre Island for Spring Break with a group of friends. One afternoon, we were cruising THE VAN up and down the main strip, and every time we passed a group of comely lasses (which was often), Judd would lean out of the window and coo at them “Wasssup LADIES! Wanna party?!”…upon the immediate and inevitable rejection he would invariably mutter “vicious bitches”. This went on for hours, and he never once altered this initial pitch, nor his reaction to the letdown…It was sort of like watching a gif of a dog chasing, then catching, a skunk. Purchase Straight Outta Compton on Amazon ### Coming Up ### We’re gonna continue our move out of the 70’s and 80’s and talk about something a hell of a lot more recent: Father John Misty and the 2012 record “Fear Fun”. Lot’s of songs about drinking and drugging. WOO HOOOOO!!!

To help cleanse the pallet of the manifesto he just read, Chris reads a true classic. Green Eggs & Ham by Theodor Seuss Geisel, a.k.a. Dr Seuss. It is one of the most beloved books of all time. First published in 1960, its is the 4th best selling english language children's book ever. Even Mike read it during the childhood he didn't have. It's a wonderful fanciful story brought to life by a wonderful fanciful man. Thanks Chris! This is the kind of stuff Chris Reads should be doing. This and erotic slash fiction between Damon and various fictional characters. Seriously where is the Damon/Samwise porn? Maybe combine it with this one. I would not lick them here or there. I would not lick them anywhere. I would not lick Damon's balls and shaft. I do not like them, Samwise-I-laughed. Come on someone finish that...

Cigar of the Week - Joya de Nicaragua Antano Dark Corojo The Antano was made to celebrate the unbridled richness of Nicaraguan tobacco. The Dark Corojo is a power personality of the Antano line, pure Nicaraguan tobacco and rich deep flavors. Sizes: Peligroso, 5 x 44; Azarosa, 4 ½ x 52; El Martillo, 5 ½ x 54; La Pesadilla, 4 ¾ x 60; and Poderoso, 6 x 54. What else have you been smokin' Craig? G.A.R. Opium - A beautiful cigar with a very different profile than other cigars coming from Guillermo & George Rico. More akin to the pre-release Aztecas and initial 3-Siglos than any of the other GAR or numbered Gran Habanos. Very little of that Jalapa woody flavor. Lots of zingy citrus sweetness with good basic tobacco. There’s still something a little different about these as well. What else have you been smokin' Dale? Perdomo Reserve Champagne Noir Figurado - 4.75” x 44/56 - Perdomo is a fine cigar manufacturer who not only makes cigars for many other brand owners, but has many varied lines of their own brands. This line is a “go to” for me. It’s a Nicaraguan Puro with a wrapper that has had a 14 month triple fermentation followed by 6 months of aging in oak bourban barrels. It has a lovely oily sheen and a medium dark maduro color. For me it provides a clean, rich, balanced smoke with complex flavors and a smooth medium body. Some caramel sweetness over a core of earthy cedar, coffee and cocoa bean notes with just the right amount of that Nica Zing spice. Avail in 6 other sizes, and all range from $5 - $7 in boxes of 25 cigars. Ave Maria St. George (belicoso) - 6” x 54 - Nicaraguan made in Esteli, with Nicaraguan fillers & binder wrapped in an Ecuadorian grown Habano wrapper with a wonderful rosado tinge. Construction was flawless and the cigar offered a perfect draw. Depth of flavor, good balance of strength-to-flavor and a medium bodied smoke that is extremely creamy. A very refined cigar with mild spice, roasted nuts and a woody finish. Also, a heady room aroma that was fragrantly floral & spicy. As one might guess, this creation from A.J. Fernadez was a superb cigar. 9 sizes in the $7-10 range. What else have you been smokin' Bob? Gurkha Micro-Batch: C-10 Wrapper: Connecticut Ecuador ‘02 Binder: Nicaraguan Habano Filler: 50% Nicaraguan ligero, 30% Nicaraguan Viso, 20% Nicaraguan Seco Strength: Medium Production: 45,000 cigars Aging: 120 days, post-rolling Liz purchased the C-10 Churchills from Cigars International for 10 cigars for$25. (http://www.cigarsinternational.com/prodDisp.asp?item=SP-GHD7048-B-10) AJ Fernandez - These were classified as “Overruns” by CI’s website and Liz purchased them for an amazing $29.99 for a bundle of 25 Robustos. (They are now listed at $39.99 on the site.) CI describes them as follows: “From the heralded Tabacalera Fernandez, home of AJ Fernandez and his star-studded lineup of top-notch blends, these cigars burn and taste just like the firsts you know and love. Man O’ War, Diesel, 5 Vegas Triple-A, San Lotano....you name it. Some are box-pressed, some are round, in a variety of natural, maduro, and Habano blends. All long-filler cigars hand-crafted in typical, top-notch A. Fernandez fashion with first-quality, aged tobaccos.” What's My Band? - This week's unbanded, Kinky Friedman's Kinky Christo, was provided by Chris from Saturnrising.com. Palio Cutter Contest: The winner of the October carbon fiber Palio cutter is Mark Pousard from Colorado. For November's contest, we are looking for photos of you and your friends enjoying cigars (all the better if they happen to be Esencias, but it will not affect your chances of winning). In addition to a Palio Cutter, this month we will also be awarding five 5-packs of La Tradicion Cubana Cigars provided by Luis Sanchez to commemorate the 16th anniversary of La Tradicion Cubana. Send your entry to theshow@cigarmedia.tv. Please include your mailing address with your entry and type "Palio" on the subject line. Don't forget, you must re-enter the contest every month to be eligible to win. Do you have a suggestion for the unbanded cigar of the week? Every week Bob and Dale include an “unbandedcigar” segment in their show in which they smoke a cigar without any markings and give their honest opinions. Bob then opens a sealed envelope and discovers the cigar’s name and manufacturer. If you have suggestions for the "What's My Band?" segment, please send them to liz@cigarmedia.tv. Do you have a Cigar Review? If you call and leave a cigar review on the herfline and it is played on the show, you will receive a DogWatch Cigar Radio patch!
