Are you ready to unmask the often overlooked treasure trove in the fitness industry? Let's venture together with industry expert Thomas Plummer, as we unravel the hidden potential within the "older" fitness market. Thomas says 40 and over, while I usually say 50 and over... but the point is the same.His wealth of experience paints a vivid picture of the current and future trajectory of the fitness industry, levelling focus on the power of understanding and addressing the needs, expectations and influence of this significant market segment. Most fitness pros have no idea how to communicate with people who are a little bit different than the mainstream, 20-something customer. That's where I come in with Prime Fit Content, with material that helps gyms and studios reach the coveted older market. And Thom brings his perspective to the table -- how gym owners fall short, what the real opportunities are, and how to take advantage of them. Thom advises me to help you understand the "older" client -- age, income, life circumstances, etc. And I'm all up for that. By the end of our chat, you'll be armed with practical insights on how to dismantle fear and misinformation associated with fitness, and how to create a welcoming, inclusive space for everyone.Resources and LinksThomas PlummerPerform BetterLife Priority Supplements -- Affiliate Discount  hereFunctional Aging Institute -- Use FAIMM50 discount codePrime Fit Content – Engage the over-50 market

Scientists have discovered some of the oldest stone tools ever found at a research site in Kenya. But the find created a mystery about which group of early humans made and used the tools.科学家们在肯尼亚的一个研究地点发现了一些最古老的石器。但这一发现创造了一个谜团，即哪一群早期人类制造并使用这些工具。A study recently published in Science suggests early humans used the tools to cut up animals for food about 3 million years ago.最近发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究表明，大约 300 万年前，早期人类使用这些工具将动物切碎作为食物。In the past, scientists thought our direct ancestors were the ones making and using tools. But two teeth from an extinct human-like creature were found at the site. This led researchers to believe that other kinds of hominins might have picked up tools too.过去，科学家认为我们的直系祖先是制造和使用工具的人。 但在该地点发现了两颗已灭绝的类人生物的牙齿。 这让研究人员相信其他种类的古人类也可能会使用工具。The term hominin is still developing and is used to describe species that are considered human or closely linked to humans.人类一词仍在发展中，用于描述被认为是人类或与人类密切相关的物种。The team said the newly found tools are probably the oldest example of what is known as the Oldowan toolkit. This was a set of tools that spread across Africa and beyond during the Stone Age.该团队表示，新发现的工具可能是所谓的 Oldowan 工具包中最古老的例子。 这是一套在石器时代传播到非洲及其他地区的工具。Rick Potts is the director of the Smithsonian's Human Origins Program. He told the Associated Press that he thinks the find adds to existing evidence that our direct ancestors may not have been the only users of Stone Age technology.里克·波茨 (Rick Potts) 是史密森尼人类起源计划的负责人。 他告诉美联社，他认为这一发现增加了现有证据，证明我们的直系祖先可能不是石器时代技术的唯一使用者。“Those teeth open up an amazing whodunit – a real question of, well, who were these earliest toolmakers?” Potts said.“那些牙齿打开了一个惊人的侦探小说——一个真正的问题，嗯，这些最早的工具制造者是谁？” 波茨说。The researchers said the tools date back to about 2.9 million years ago, when early humans used them to cut up hippopotamuses and other big animals for food. The study suggests these kinds of tools were widely used earlier than had been believed.研究人员表示，这些工具可以追溯到大约 290 万年前，当时早期人类使用它们来切割河马和其他大型动物作为食物。 该研究表明，这些工具的广泛使用早于人们的想象。Three kinds of tools were found. These included some with flat sides believed to have been used to crush plants, bone and meat. Others had sharp edges for cutting meat.发现了三种工具。 其中包括一些据信用于压碎植物、骨头和肉类的扁平侧面。 其他人有锋利的边缘来切肉。Thomas Plummer is with Queens College of the City University of New York and was the lead writer of the study. He told the AP that, with the tools found, early humans could cut and crush a wide range of materials. In addition, he said tools from the Kenyan site also suggested they had assisted early humans with eating.Thomas Plummer 就职于纽约市立大学皇后学院，是该研究的主要作者。 他告诉美联社，利用发现的工具，早期人类可以切割和压碎各种材料。 此外，他说来自肯尼亚遗址的工具也表明它们曾帮助早期人类进食。The site, known as Nyayanga, is in a hilly area on the shores of Lake Victoria. Since starting work there in 2015, researchers have also found many objects and animal bones.该遗址被称为 Nyayanga，位于维多利亚湖岸边的丘陵地区。 自 2015 年开始在那里工作以来，研究人员还发现了许多物体和动物骨骼。Plummer said cut marks on several hippo bones show they were cut up for their meat. The early humans also likely used the tools to break open antelope bones to get out marrow and tissue inside the bones, the study said.Plummer 说，几块河马骨头上的切割痕迹表明它们是为了取肉而被切开的。 该研究称，早期人类也可能使用这些工具打开羚羊的骨头，以取出骨头内的骨髓和组织。Plummer added that the stone tools permitted the early humans to get and process a lot of necessities from the environment. “If you can butcher a hippo, you can butcher pretty much anything,” he said.Plummer 补充说，石器使早期人类能够从环境中获取和处理许多必需品。 “如果你能屠杀河马，你几乎可以屠杀任何东西，”他说。

Thomas Plummer, an archaeologist, had received information about the discovery of stone tools on the Homa Peninsula hillsides in Kenya. In an attempt to gain more knowledge, he initiated an excavation. However, instead of discovering more stone tools, he and his team came across numerous fossils of various animals such as crocodiles, antelopes, horses, and hippos. The fossils were accompanied by stone tools. But who made them? Evolution Talk is also a book!

Absolutely loved speaking with the legend that is Thomas Plummer, in 40 years of mentoring and coaching there isn't much he hasn't seen when it comes to business and life in general. We go right back to where he grew up, how his early up bringing shaped some of his path starting out. How he got into business after realising studying psychology and university wasn't for him. Thomas speaks passionately about how he loves to see people live up to their true potential, what he sees as the difference between those who go on and live the life they truly want and making mark, and those who stay stuck and don't realise their full potential. He speaks about a meeting with a young Arnold schwarzenegger and the view Arnold had for his life ahead, and much more. A great chat with a lot of wisdom and value here. Enjoy, and as always guys please rate the podcast, appreciate it!

Ted Ryce: How To Become A Successful Public Speaker Part 2 I’m back with a part 2 of how to become a successful speaker. Alan had some follow up questions so of course I obliged! Hey Ted,   Thanks for getting back to me. That is an awesome idea! So the questions I have include:   What skills do you need to work on daily to become a great public speaker? Do you have any courses or books you recommend?   How do you land your first public speaking gig? What should you charge, how do you charge as you get better?  How do you calculate speaking prices?   How do you prepare for a talk?    How can you create a public speaking conference or workshop with other speakers who can compliment your services and value you offer? How do you sell a conference to get a good turnout at your event?   How do you make yourself memorable to the audience you are speaking to? How do you convert public speaking audiences to your programs or services?    These are some of the questions I had off the top of my head with respect to become a speaker. I look forward to the podcast on this. Will you let me know when it will be released? I am looking to start speaking soon for free as leverage to promote my business and add value.    Keep up the great work!!   Thank You!   Question: What skills do you need to work on daily to become a great public speaker? Do you have any courses or books you recommend? Answer: I’ve already talked about Thomas Plummer’s Public Speaking Course, Toastmasters, and Improv Acting Classes. You should do a Google search for public speaking seminars in your area as well. Dale Carnegie has courses all around the country. I’ve also heard great things about Michael Port’s speaking seminar. Here are some resources to get you started: - You may not have heard of Roger but he’s helped the who’s who of celebrities. I watched the Tony Robbins Netflix documentary I Am Not Your Guru and he was doing the vocal warm ups found in this CD. - by Garr Reynolds - by Garr Reynolds - Nancy Duarte’s Ted Talk:   Question: How do you land your first public speaking gig? What should you charge, how do you charge as you get better?  How do you calculate speaking prices? Answer: I’ve done a few seminars and talks before but I’ll tell you how I landed my first speaking gig since I’ve been serious about speaking. I interviewed Aaron Marino of I Am Alpha M and after the talk I said I liked his message and thought he was a good guy. We continued talking and he told me about StyleCon and asked me to speak at it. The way I landed my first keynote was a bit different. I connected with a person who had been listening to my podcast. We ended up talking and I offered her some assistance on a problem she had. I never expected anything back. Then she said there was an event that she was a part of and they needed a speaker. She had been listening to the podcast and remembered that I wanted to do more public speaking. She connected me with the event planner and we spoke on the phone…and boom! I had my first paid keynote speech! Question: How do you prepare for a talk?  Answer: Great question! First, I ask the event planner a LOT of questions about the attendees and what their ideal outcome would be from my talk. Then, Gisele and I work to create a flow of the talk and she helps design a slide show to supplement the presentation. (A quick note about slides…the slides should augment your presentation. But it’s about you and the way to communicate with the audience. NOT the slides!) After we have the rough draft, I run through the talk over and over refining the flow of the talk as well as the slide presentation. I practice one or two times a day EVERY day leading up to my talk. And I do what it takes to be prepared. Practice, practice, practice! That’s the key! Lastly, I memorize the flow of the talk but I don’t memorize the talk. If you’re trying to remember the exact words then it will take you out of flow. And your audience can feel that. At the end of the day, it’s about creating an authentic connection. Not regurgitating content. I do my best to tell stories and entertain while delivering the best information I have. Question: How can you create a public speaking conference or workshop with other speakers who can compliment your services and value you offer? How do you sell a conference to get a good turnout at your event? That’s outside of my experience so far. I recommend that you connect with other speakers and on put something together locally. Promote it on social media and through your content beforehand to see if anyone is interested. Question: How do you make yourself memorable to the audience you are speaking to? How do you convert public speaking audiences to your programs or services?  The answer to your first question is to strive to master the art of public speaking. Be a student of the art and read all the books and articles you can. And attend all the seminars and courses you can. Most importantly: get out there and speak! The answer to your seconds question is a little different. I know what you’re asking but I want to tell you this. You cannot “convert” anyone. Marketing is becoming less and less effective. I know you didn’t mean it like that but I wanted to say it out loud. People are smart and you can’t convert them or change their mind. THEY change their minds based on what you have to offer. What you CAN do is to deliver the best information you have in the most powerful way possible. After that, you offer the opportunity to work with you. Ask them to come and see you at the back of the room if they’d like to talk more. Then you offer what you have. And the best “sales” advice I’ve ever received is from Zig Ziglar in his Secrets of Closing the Sale. You can listen to it for free on Youtube: Conclusion At the end of the day, becoming a successful public speaker is like anything else. It requires drive, discipline, developing the skills, time and hard work! I hope this serves you well and puts you on the right path towards speaking success!
