In this final episode of our Back to the Basics series, we bring together all the key concepts we've explored over the past eight episodes. From understanding your nervous system to creating a personalized path to healing, this episode serves as both a review and a roadmap for moving forward with confidence and clarity.In this episode, you'll learn:How all the pieces of the nervous system puzzle fit togetherThe ultimate framework for understanding and approaching anxiety and depressionPractical ways to apply this knowledge in your daily lifeHow to create a personalized, sustainable path to healing3 Takeaways (& their reflection questions):Whole-Human Approach: True healing comes from integrating both physiology and psychology - one that explores and acknowledges how your body, mind, relationships, and environment all interconnect in your mental health. Understanding the interplay between your nervous system, stress bucket, reactive and proactive regulation creates a comprehensive framework for healing that honors your unique experiences and needs. If you've been feeling stuck in your healing…Which area of your life (physical, mental, relational, or environmental) feels most neglected in your current healing approach, and what small step could you take to address it?Your Symptoms Likely Make Sense: Your symptoms make perfect sense given your past lived experiences and current life circumstances—they're not signs of brokenness but messages from a system trying to protect you and understanding this helps you shift from self-blame to self-compassion.How might your perspective shift if you approached your symptoms with curiosity rather than judgment, asking "what happened to me?" instead of "what's wrong with me?"If you were to apply the equation 'Current Nervous System State = Past Lived Experiences + Current Life Circumstances' to your own experience, what's one key insight you gain about why you might be struggling the way you are?Strategic Path Forward: Real healing comes from a balanced approach that includes both in-the-moment tools and deeper, proactive changes that address the root causes of dysregulation. The journey of healing, viewed through a nervous system lens, is ultimately about reconnecting with your authentic self, accessing your inner resources, and creating a life where you feel safe, resilient, and whole.What's one reactive tool you can practice this week when you notice dysregulation, and one proactive change you feel ready to explore to address something in your stress bucket?"What does 'coming home to yourself' mean to you, and what's one small practice or action you could incorporate into your daily life to cultivate a stronger sense of connection with yourself?"Looking for more personalized support?Book a FREE discovery call for RESTORE, our 1:1 anxiety & depression coaching program (HSA/FSA eligible & includes comprehensive bloodwork)Join me inside Regulated Living, a mental health membership and nervous system healing space (sliding scale pricing available)Order my book, Healing Through the Vagus Nerve today!*Want me to talk about something specific on the podcast?

"I think that it has gotten to a point where we've taken the racing out of racing. We've taken the sport and turned it into something else. Track is about racing. You have eight athletes on the track for a reason. You award a champion or award a winner of the race for a reason: because they outperformed everyone else. And that's not easy. That's one of my fears: that people will start to think that it's easy, because the winner is not really being highlighted for having won. They're being highlighted for having run a personal best. Ultimately, if you're not careful, you end up with this deconstructed competition where it's not about the athletes in the race… We're very excited about what we're bringing...I can't wait. That's what you want. One of the things that's funny to me is when I see people in the track world on social media talking about fantasy matchups. It's like: We have the real fantasy over here. It's real. It's not fantasy. It's actually happening."The countdown is on. We are just one month away from the launch of Grand Slam Track, a bold new league that promises to shake up the sport of track and field—and today, we're talking to the man behind it all, Michael Johnson.We've done multiple episodes with MJ as a four-time Olympic champion, world record holder and one of the most respected voices in the sport. If you haven't listened to those, I suggest you go back and do so. Our 2022 CITIUS MAG Live at Worlds interview with him is one of the best big picture conversations we've done on the state of the sport. Johnson has spent years analyzing what's missing in professional track. His solution? A structured, high-stakes, athlete-driven competition that puts rivalries, personalities, and pure racing at the forefront.With 48 signed Racers, a multi-platform media deal, and a $30 million investment, Grand Slam Track is designed to change how the sport operates, creating a true professional league that's built to last.Today, we dive into:How the league is strategically structuring itself to maximize the talent track What success really looks like in Year 1 from a business standpointInside the TV deal and how it came togetherThe lessons from other sports (even WWE) that can help track engage more fansAnd more on what to expect when the first meet kicks off in KingstonMichael Johnson isn't here to wait for change—he's making it happen.

In the transition from ICE to BEV, vehicles are increasingly software-defined, and it's nearly impossible for OEMs to source every electronic component on their own. Enter the supplier ecosystem.Following up on her interview with Amazon's Wendy Bauer, Jan seeks to learn more about the partnership between tech companies and traditional automotive. Chris Thibeault is the partner and ecosystem senior manager at Infineon, and he shares his expertise on the complexity of sales relationships in the semiconductor industry.It's a new value chain.

This undeniable rumble of change away from hyper-individualism and towards smaller more intimate communities and connection.Are we ready to begin to admit that the dreams we were taught to dream are not rooted in true fulfillment? And that perhaps there is something much more simple, much more true, and much richer available at our fingertips.Full show notes for this episodeThe Main Jam...A trend toward changeInternal sovereignty Dehydrating dreamsUnhealthy isolationGetting off the moving ladderDreams rooted in fear vs. loveHeart connectionWhy the future is so unclearHow we come togetherThe rumblings of changeI love your face.Your host,Katie BFull show notes for this episodeShop The Remedy CupboardWebsite: katiebuemann.comInstagram: @katiebuemann

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guests will bring Bold, Executable, Intrinsic and Targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co host in life Brad and I are going to dig into the purposeful convo I had with Adrian Starks in our last episode. If you haven't like yet listened to that interview. Feel free to pause this now. Go back. Listen to that one. I swear you're gonna fucking love his voice. I promise you... (Brad: Yeah) you know what? Actually, I said, narrator I want him to do those nighttime stories. He should do nighttime stories. I would fall asleep to him like reading the phone book. Absolutely wonderful, Adrian, that's a new job for you. So listen to his voice and come back and join us and let me know what else he should narrate. Because I just, I'm just like, you just keep telling your story. It's great. It's a great voice.(brad: I love it) Alright, so before we talk about Adrian, we just had the very first one day workshop situation for people on the on one on one exercise... (Brad: on OPC) on OPC. And it was so fun because we did the workout, which is kind of like what we do on OPC... (Brad: It was roll up on the mat) roll up on the mat. That was the theme. So the workout was dedicated to that exercise.Brad Crowell 2:15  Yeah, the replay just expired last night.Lesley Logan 2:17  Yeah. So when I create OPC classes, well actually when any teacher creates an OPC class actually think about an exercise or a skill set you need in Pilates, and we thread that through the entire workout. And so that's what we're known for. And so the roll up can be a very annoying, frustrating exercise. And what we did was I created a workout that would actually help you understand the roll up better in your body by the end of the workout. Then we did a little digging in deep with our OPC teachers and they share like what they struggle with and the roll up and how they got around it because everyone has a different body. Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses. And then we did the class again. Yeah, because of OPC you actually repeat the same class.Brad Crowell 2:57  I thought it was cool. I thought it was cool that you did it a second time because now you had the first experience then you discuss things and then you got a second shot at that. Lesley Logan 3:06  Yeah, yeah! And so anyways, people had a lot of fun with it. And so we will we were hoping to do another one later this year on a different exercise. You want to go to opc.me/workshops to get on the what is it a waitlistBrad Crowell 3:21  Waitlist for future workshops. Yeah, opc.me/workshopsLesley Logan 3:25  Somebody might be thinking oh, why get on the waitlist, they'll just tell me about it later. No, here's why algorithms you get busy life changes and also anyone on the waitlist always either gets a special gift or a special discount or something fun fucking happens to people on a waitlist just so you know people on the retreat waitlist got a discount low. So you just want to be on waitlist because we like to give gifts.Brad Crowell 3:45  Yeah, so and also, we're changing the way that our companies work. We are no longer going to be shouting from the rooftops on social, buy my stuff, buy my stuff... (Lelsley: Yeah) So what will the people who are on our waitlist will find out about the really cool things that we're offering now. So just be advised. Yeah.Lesley Logan 4:06  And if you're on social you have less of a chance of hearing about it. So that's all... (Brad: Yeah) be be one of the insiders. Okay. And OPC members last week, we told you there's something exciting coming up, and there's still something exciting coming up and we're not telling you yet. (brad: This is the longest tease) I have no idea. I have no idea when Brad's gonna let me tell you but I've been spilling the beans to a few people.Brad Crowell 4:28  Yeah, we were well FYI there's something cool for OPC for the OPC communityLesley Logan 4:36  If you don't know what it is, it means you were not at the live workout for March and it also means you have not watched the end of the live workout for March. So now I know... (Brad: That's true) And finally finally finally, at the time of this recording, we have a few spots left in round three of my mentorship for elevate. I'm not gonna go into too much detail here because you can, you heard about last week. You can also hear about it in other ways by going to Lesleylogan.co/elevate, Lesleylogan.co/elevate, because that's what we're about to do with your practice your teaching and your connection to the method. I call them my elevators... (Brad: I love it) And because Brad's now into fourth bullets... (Brad: It's happening) If you're wanting the chairs deck, and you didn't get it during the presale, now is the time to get it. Because... (Brad: now is the time) otherwise, you're not going to be part of the first rollout. And that means you have to wait. And if we've sold out, you have to wait even longer.Brad Crowell 5:32  Yeah, so I mean, the reality is, we only placed enough of an order for the people who have placed the order with a little bit of a buffer and the and then it might sell out there. So we would love to include your order. When we're printing everything in round one.Lesley Logan 5:50  Yeah, so go to OPC. So that's onlinepilatesclasses.com. If you're like What the hell is an OPC? Hi, welcome to the podcast. I'm Lesley Logan... (Brad: and I'm Brad Crowell) and OPC is... (Brad: thanks a lot for joining us today) Adrian sorry, that's all you get, no, onlinepilatesclasses.com is our baby. So go check it out. Okay, before we get into Adrian Stark's amazing voice and all this amazing content, what do we, do we have an audience question to get to?Brad Crowell 6:15  We do. And so basically, this is from an OPC member, we have a private Facebook group for the OPC community. And she said, I love the way you theme your workouts and connect exercises together. I really want to understand more about how you do that how you conceptualize that.Lesley Logan 6:35  Yeah, so actually, like we kind of just talked about it with the workshop... (Brad: Yeah, yeah) But also like, that doesn't really help you figure out how to do it... (Brad: That's true) So one of the things that I would love to tell you is the way I do that in less than a 15 minute recap, and I cannot. So the truth is, is that well, how I theme workouts together is because of how I was trained to see the method. And I was trained to see this method. Luckily, I had a lot of amazing teachers in my journey to hear where you're listening to me now. But one of those was Jay Grimes, Sani Shimoda, who...Brad Crowell 7:08  We're still talking Pilates, the Pilates method.Lesley Logan 7:11  Still talking about the pilates method. Thank you, Brad, for, you know, bringing in Tracy from Wisconsin. So um, so my teachers Jake Grimes, Sandy Shimoda, Karen Fishman, they really helped me, like take everything I knew and like, and take it from being like pieces of information, like, like think things like a solar system, like nine planets, and actually see how they're all connected by the stars. Right. So, so effectively, I hope that analogy makes sense. So at any rate, they really helped me put that together. And then since that, since I was able to understand that, I put that into my own practice my own teaching. And that's how OPC was created. Because it was like, how do I make first of all, the classical Pilates method unique every single week? It is I do the same that order? Well, the same order, but it's an order on the mat and reformer, we just omit exercises that don't fit the theme or the time. But how do I do that? And so I started really honing that skill set in and really making it fun and, and what you experience as an OPC member, is it really connected so you can take an exercise that you may not be able to do or one that you struggle with or hate, and really understand it. So how do you do that yourself, I have to be completely honest and tell you you need to be my mentorship because it's something that's going to take time. And I need to have, I need to AC where you're at in your understanding of the method, and in your connection to the practice in your body and how you currently teach. And then help you get like, you could be anywhere on the journey and I need to make sure that we're on the same page. And then because you might even be doing half of it already, when that'd be amazing. If I go actually you're halfway there. Here's some things you could do. Or Hi, that was 1000 words. (...) takes one exercise. So let's go over here. So I really love my elevate mentorship for exactly this. It helps you see the method as like one exercise you do hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of different ways. And allows you to teach everybody in front of you based on connecting them together and also your own body. So if you want to know how I do this, basically the TLDR is sign up for elevate.Brad Crowell 9:18  Yeah, join elevate. .. (Lesley: Yeah) okay. Well, thanks for asking that question. Lesley Logan 9:23  Yeah, you can ask any question you want is my Pilates guys, so last couple of Pilates related. It can actually be life business work or like vacation, whatever it is need to send it into us somewhere on the interwebs not LinkedIn. I'm not over there. But you know, someplace that I can actually find it. And I'll put it on here.Brad Crowell 9:39  Stick around. Right to this we're gonna talk about how Adrian Starks shares the Greatest Journey is the journey inwardLesley Logan 9:45  Right after these messages we'll be right back.Brad Crowell 11:21  Okay, now let's talk about Adrienne Starks. Adrian Starks is a man who decided to begin living on this planet for three reasons to learn, to grow, and then to take action. He is fully living his purpose driven life and inspires others to do the same as a speaker, narrator, entrepreneur and writer. Lesley Logan 12:09  Yeah. So I actually want to jump in first, because I really enjoyed his first step in discovering your purpose, because I just, you know, we've always had, we're like, what's my purpose? Why am I here on this planet, like walking around? Like they may not know. And he said that he the history said, I'm gonna quote him, the greatest journey is a journey inward. And he said, you also have to acknowledge you don't know everything, but then start asking why. And we talked about like, the seven why's like why this? Why this? Why this, like, Why do I want to be a writer? Because that's why do I want to do that? Because that's why do i Why, why, why. And like, we talked about...Brad Crowell 12:44  If you're, if you're trying to discover your purpose, right? Like, why are you here doing what is it that you're supposed to be doing? Why are you here on this planet? Right? And when he started asking himself that he realized he could help other people discover their own purpose, right? And so he his pod is called your purpose, your purpose for life. Right? And so anyway, in order for you to feel fulfilled and excited about, you know, showing up for life, it really will change your excitement, enthusiasm about it, if you find purpose in the thing that you're doing, right? So, you know, it's so interesting to me, because when I was younger, I was part of a coaching group. And the one of the guys said to me, I don't care, I don't care what it is, I have to do, if I have to carry shit from one corner of the room to the other corner and put it down, but after doing it for so many times, it's going to allow me to live, you know, take care of my family the way I want to, I'm willing to do that thing. And I really adopted that. And I was like, Oh, it doesn't matter if I fucking hate showing up for my job. I'm doing this because this is going to allow me to do the thing that I really would rather be doing, which is whatever, touring in music and doing all the band thing. And after doing that approach for decades, I decided I don't like that approach anymore. Because...Lesley Logan 14:12  Thank God, I was like where's this going.Brad Crowell 14:14  I really don't like it because because you know what, I ended up working at a shitty job, working with shitty people. And I told myself, I'm just gonna stick it out because by doing this shitty job, I'm gonna be setting myself up to go do something really amazing. And my thought is, listen, there are times in your life when you have to do stuff you don't want to do? sure, I get that, but what if the thing you have to do your job you actually love? What if you find purpose in that thing? How amazing would that be? Can it be possible for them to be overlaying that you're living the life that you like you're doing something that you love, and you're getting paid for it in a way that will empower you to go do the other things that you love to do, then you can have so much more fun in life.Lesley Logan 14:57  Yeah. I'm so glad that that turned around. I was like...Brad Crowell 15:03  You should have seen her face if you're on YouTube. She's looking at me and her heads tilted to the side like the puppy dogs like: what are you doing?Lesley Logan 15:12  Not to say that if you are shoveling shit that your job is without purpose because the person who picks up our dog poop, I am sure feels very purposeful, and what they chose to do for themselves. And I'm very grateful.Brad Crowell 15:23  So that was my point is like every it's it wasn't fulfilling me the things that I was doing. They weren't doing they weren't lighting my fire. They weren't something that I'm excited abou, passionate about, like amazing at... (Lesley: Yeah) those kinds of things. I was just doing them because I had a job opportunity... (Lesley: Yeah) that could get me paid... (Lesley: Yeah) that's not enough.Lesley Logan 15:41  Yeah. So you know, like, I love that. I'm really glad that you didn't adopt that. It's probably when we met. You probably stopped.Brad Crowell 15:50  Yeah, well, it was. It was. I mean, I don't know. I think it was like, it was it was a combination of the of me leaving the music industry. Because I was betting on that to be the thing that got me out of the shit.  Lesley Logan 16:05  Yeah. And then, oh, I remember this, and you left the music thing. And you're like, well, now I'm here... (Brad: Yeah, now I'm just fucking here) not playing music, because like, this isn't (...). So Oh, yeah. No, it was definitely them. Brad Crowell 16:16  Yeah, it was exactly when we met too. So there's that that was 100% a part of it. But, but really, like, I thought, you know, I'm gonna sell a million records, and I'm just gonna go tour the world. And then all of a sudden, when my band stopped, I was like, Oh now what?Lesley Logan 16:30  Yeah. Like, so I worked retail. I really thought I was gonna work in retail forever. Because I really love the company I worked for at the time we had we sold the most amazing stuff. And it's not because I love to sell the vibe purpose on this planet was help people sell. What I loved was helping people find the thing that made them leave the store the smile on their face, or like they had the gift for someone like I loved helping people, like people, you know, people when you're shopping, imagine, think about last minute shopping, oftentimes you're shopping for like, it's like, what do they call it, like retail therapy. And like they come in, and then I help them find this thing that would like light them up, or make them feel like their selves or like jewelry is like an expression of them. And so I found present now I work with a ton of people who are like this is how I pay my bills, and I can tell you right now, it doesn't matter how amazing that salesperson was, they were never the number one salesperson. They're never the number one because they were just piling up the shit from one corner to the other. So clearly, like whatever you're doing, try to figure out how it aligns with the purpose that you have on this life, or let's find a way to help you bridge the gap... (Brad: Yeah) What did you love?Brad Crowell 17:32  I love it. Alright, so one thing he started talking about was how, you know, now that you're asking why, you know, why am I here? What do I love? Why am I why do I like doing this? Why do I like to know, you know, and kind of going towards your purpose. He said, how you create, you need to create space and be purposeful. And the creating of the space allows you to be curious, okay, and that curiosity really opened up the opportunity to make mistakes in, you know, and to grow and learn and be better at what it is that we're doing. And, again, dial in, hone in, you know, being more purposeful in our life. And, and he actually gave a challenge, he said, Be curious enough to make a mistake, because a lot of people are unwilling to take any risk, unwilling to make any mistakes. But he was giving this really great analogy about Babe Ruth, and it wasn't Mickey Mantle, he referenced somebody... (Lesley: no, somebody else) can't remember now, but he said they actually have more strikeouts than they did homeruns even though they were, you know, the number they were top of the top of the homerun stats... (Lesley: yes). But they failed so many times. Right. And, and then I thought you asked a really great question of like, well, how do you, you know, how do you set yourself up to be curious? And he said, Oh, by being alone. And it was like, well, that's interesting, very interesting. So he figured out how to leave his mind the mental space to be curious, by setting aside time for himself... (Lesley: Yeah) You know.Lesley Logan 19:20  This is, this is, that right there is the problem most people have, they do not create space for new stuff. So they could they it doesn't even matter if you know what your purpose is. If you have not created the time. I don't care if it's 15 minutes. I don't care if it's 2% of your day. Brad Crowell 19:38  Yeah. Dai Manuel.Lesley Logan 19:41  If you don't do that, it doesn't mean it doesn't none of the stuff that we're telling you matters. None of it does. And too often I see people go must be nice. I wish I could do this when I have more time. I'm telling you right now, you will never stop being the busyness that you are until you create the time for your purpose. And until you start actually like owning that and protecting that and is going to require being alone and I know my extroverts are like: don't wanna be alone. But you Brad also when you take time to go for a walk by yourself, you come up with so many ideas. But if you're like on phone calls all day, on your socials all the time, hang up people all the time.Brad Crowell 20:20  Listening to podcasts all day long.Lesley Logan 20:23  Let your let your your let things be silent, you know. So anyways, I thought that was one of the most amazing answers loved It's so fucking much.Brad Crowell 20:31  Well, he talks about he's shared a lot of his story about like school, middle school, high school and being alone and working in the library and stuff. And it actually made me think about that time. And also about my time in college, when I was intentionally writing music all the time. And I had in my calendar, don't call Brad. Brad is writing, right? And I have intentional time, to be creative, to be curious, to learn, to try new things, to flop at new songs, all that kind of stuff. And when I was in high school, I remember I always wanted to be part of like the group. But I remember actually, like I would, I would walk I would walk home. And it was like 30 minutes. But I would take different routes and I would explore and try new things and know the curiosity like can I walk through this neighborhood to get to where I'm trying to go. And that that alone time, you know, I didn't have a, I think I might have had a diskman in high school, but not really. So I didn't have something to distract me.Lesley Logan 21:37  You're gonna have to explain it what a diskman was just in case somebody is listening to this. Brad Crowell 21:42  If you were born in the 90s you don't know what a diskman is because you never needed to use one. A diskman is a CD player that is portable. That's all.Lesley Logan 21:51  You know, you just made me think of remember when when I left working for the fitness company. And I no longer had to commute from West Hollywood to the west side, which is by the way... (Brad: right) three miles, y'all Brad Crowell 22:02  But it was like 30 to 45 minutesLesley Logan 22:04  30 45 minutes, and in those 30 to 45 minutes, you could rarely get me on the phone. I literally just enjoyed I had a jeep with the top off. And even in the winter, I just blast the heat. And I drove through the streets of Beverly Hills, like like I mean it was beautiful picture as everything you see from a clueless when she's walking and clueless like literally that. And then I went from just like driving from our house to the studio, which is one mile and I could take the side streets. So I was there in four minutes, unless I hit this one stoplight, and then it was seven, but still, like no time at all. And I remember and I come home and you would have been working from home all day and you're like ready to talk. And I'm like, Ah, I haven't been alone. And like, so I ended up we got rid of the Jeep. So I could walk home. I could walk home. And it was a 15 to 20 minute walk depend on how fast I went. And it was the perfect time for my brain for me to be alone to think about thing. And that's where I actually going back to those seven layers of why the first time I could get all the way to number seven was on a walk. Because I could actually like go and I could get past number seven because I wasn't around. It wasn't in my surroundings of our house or my work. I was like walking with the squirrels and all this stuff. So anyways, highly recommend get some time by yourself.Brad Crowell 23:22  Yeah, I think that's great. And for you especially, it's really a way for you to energize or re energize... (Lesley: Yeah) You know, for me, I think like I have, I actually really struggle with it because I have a hard time. Like, like, it's hard. The story that I've told myself about alone time and not doing anything is that I'm not being efficient, and I'm wasting time. And I think that we need to combat that concept of I'm wasting time because the time your brain needs space and like little distraction, to be creative. And that creativity that sparks curiosity that allows you to come up with different ideas, you know, and, uh, you know, time after time, I've realized I fill every second of my day with, you know, if I'm literally like doing the dishes, I'm also listening to a podcast or maybe I've got a show on or something. Or if I'm going for a walk, I'm often again listening to a book or listening to a pod. And I don't leave myself time just to let my mind percolate. You know... (Lesley: yeah) and it's not wasting time. It's important. Lesley Logan 24:30  No, it's important and 2% of your day is enough time, which is 30 minutes.Brad Crowell 24:36  Yes 2%All right, so finally let's talk about those Be It action items what bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Adrian Starks.Lesley Logan 24:58  I'm going first again. It is my show. All right, here we go. Get curious, question people, question yourself and I don't, I think when people think question people, question why someone's, it's not to be antagonistic, it's just like, just because you have a thought doesn't make it a fact. So ask yourself like, oh, like why? Why is that? What? Like question you don't have to like question authority, or you should, but you don't have to, like, be antagonistic. It's just like, if you've always done things in one way, ask yourself, if that's still serving you, ask yourself that you'd be willing to try something different, you know, like, really dive in deep on some of the habits you have, because if they're not serving you, with time they get rid of them. And we got to get curious about that. First to understand you gotta like test things out in the water. I'm, I love testing out my morning routine, I really do. So you know, and the best way to test is like, get out of your comfort zone and do something different.Brad Crowell 25:56  Yeah, I do it respectfully. Part of it is something that I wanted to speak to because I was very antagonistic in my youth, about questioning authority, and not in like, I'm not like, you know, throwing rocks and started fights kind of thing, but I would challenge authority intellectually.Lesley Logan 26:21  You guys he literally did every single assignment in college and never turned it in. Let me just talk about like...Brad Crowell 26:28  I intentionally got the worst GPA you could possibly get. I failed every class... (Lesley: but he went) I went to all the classes. I wouldn't take the tests but I would do all the papers in the homework but I just wouldn't turn them in so I had a really interesting you know, it's part of my ego I think too for sure... (Lesley: Oh, you think) but but you know, the questioning people, questioning myself, you know, questioning authority that all of that really does roll into curiosity.Lesley Logan 27:05  Well, there's yeah, there's there's definitely been like, like curiosity is like being a detective versus like a judge.Brad Crowell 27:11  Yeah, we're being a dick about it. You know?Lesley Logan 27:14  Be a detective not a dick. Thats the new merch. I'm a detective not a dick.Brad Crowell 27:25  I love it man.Lesley Logan 27:28  Well anyways...Brad Crowell 27:29  We'll have to put that on like a like I don't know if that's I don't know what that goes. Lesley Logan 27:33  It's like a sticker. It's sticker related, it's a bumper sticker for someone's car but not mine. Because I don't put them on the car. But we could put it on the Yeti. Um you know how at the gym people write on the walls... (Brad: Oh yeah) Oh my god some of that makes me so "no pain no gain", "sweat is just pain leaving the body" like I'm just gonna put be a detective not a dick, x x LL, Be It Till You See It. Anyways, you guys I think Adrian episode was just full of so many things. And so to sum it all up, get curious, question people, question yourself and let us know how you enjoyed this. Let us know what parts of this were really spoke to you and what you're gonna do about it and... (Brad: Let us know if you loved Adrian's voice) and how it's gonna help you have a purposeful life. And also you can listen to Adrian's voice on, for free, on his podcast, wherever podcasts are at your purposeful life. And so he has amazing guests that he puts up all the time. He's so intentional, and... (Brad: you were on there, right?) I was on there. We had a debate. We had great sweatshirt action. We both showed up in a gray sweatshirt. It was really funny. I'm like I'm going to wear a gray sweatshirt today. And I sit down he's like I had a feeling you would wear a gray sweatshirt... (Brad: you got the memo) Okay, I don't even never wear a gray sweatshirt on it. Like normally I try to like look good. Anyway, go to this podcast you can you can start with my episode and see if you enjoy the theme of his podcast which I think you will if you enjoyed this episode.

Do you have control over your perfectionism or does it have control over you? Today we get into the pros and cons of perfectionism and the impact it has on our “We.” We illustrate ways that we work with perfectionism, both individually and together, and also the ripple effect that it has on our relationship when we don't address it.Perfectionism tends to get a bad rap, but when it doesn't have you in its grip, it can be used as a tool to strive for better quality and continued improvement. It's when we spiral into obsession and stress that we start to question our worthiness, safety, and validity. Like so many aspects of our psychology, those reactions are often linked to imprints from childhood. When we notice the talons of perfectionism sinking into one another, we like to gently make contact with each other and work through the root cause of that behavior. Sometimes it looks like parts work, other times it's meditation, movement, or just changing up the routine to get out of our heads and into our bodies. Our challenge to you this week is to notice where perfectionism comes up for you: How does it serve you? How does it stifle you? How does it impact your partner?Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered:Reflecting on how perfectionism affects our quality of life and world togetherThe aspect of perfectionism that feels fun and empowering How the feedback we received as children connects to our relationship with perfectionism as adults Examples of where our perfectionistic tendencies show up What we like to do individually and together when we notice an unhealthy attachment to specific outcomes Resources Mentioned: The Art Of We Weekly NewsletterGet in Touch: The Art Of We WebsiteThe Art of We Instagram Integrative Psychiatry Institute: Integrative Mental Wellness & Psychedelic Therapy TrainingRate, Review & Follow on Apple Podcasts: If you want to show your support for this show, please consider rating and reviewing The Art of We on Apple Podcasts.

Artists have always sought unconventional ways to express their creative principles, which means they're often at the forefront of innovation. On the business side of the art world, however, artists have long been confined to stale institutions like museums, auction houses, and white cube galleries. While we've seen some transformation when it comes to digital commerce for artists, options for career development are limited; artists are in desperate need of new platforms to learn, share, and grow.Enter Inversion Art, an international accelerator program that offers community, connection, and capital for artists. Driven by innovation, cofounders Joey Flores and Jonathan Neil are creating new models for artists to grow and elevate their businesses. In today's podcast episode, host Scott “Sourdough” Power sits down with Joey and Jonathan to discuss Inversion Art's mission to reinvigorate the art world. “What we're trying to do is take artists who are already starting to achieve success and help them take control [of their career] at that moment and ensure long-term success,” Joey tells Scott. As Joey and Jonathan explain in today's episode, Inversion Art's investment in artists includes a three-month career development program, ongoing career advocacy, access to an incredible peer community, and more.“Inversion's model of providing operational support is designed to create space so that the artist can pursue excellence but maintain their independence from the other players in the marketplace, so that they don't feel like they're beholden to their galleries,” Jonathan says, explaining that many artists have already moved away from the gallery system. “There are lots of different paths to lots of different types of success in the art world,” Joey agrees. “Just because one of those paths is blocked by some gatekeeper doesn't necessarily mean that you can't be successful in whatever way is important to you.” Tune into today's episode to learn more about how you can apply to and benefit from Inversion Art's robust programming. Join us for a fascinating conversation on innovation and entrepreneurship with Joey Flores and Jonathan Neil of Inversion Art. In Today's Podcast Episode Scott, Joey, and Jonathan discuss…How entrepreneurship, innovation, and art brought the cofounders togetherThe problem that Inversion Art is working to solveWho can apply for and benefit most from the programs Inversion Art offersArtists as natural-born innovators who need help scaling their businessesFacilitating new opportunities that the institutional art world hasn't caught up with yetTaking the best of capitalism and entrepreneurship to create a new patronage modelThe value of having access to an ambitious, like-minded communityHow to capitalize on your breakthroughs and take your creative practice to the next levelCreating alternatives for artists who can't afford or aren't interested in formal educationWhy it's important to know what you value and what kind of career you wantFor more information, please visit http://notrealart.com/inversion-art
