I'm joined by Ali Hollest of TriSwimCoach in this episode who I think would be more at home having this conversation on a mountain than over a mic!I recently connected with Ali after hearing his story about how his mental health impacted on his journey and how he pushed himself to undertake some awesome physical challenges. Mental wellbeing is something I spend a lot of my time exploring, supporting and developing with individuals and organisations, and I love nothing more than getting involved in an adventure outdoors, so I was looking forward to this conversation!I was struck by a comment Ali made when we last met about how he considers himself unemployable. It may have been an off-the-cuff comment but it really resonated with what this podcast is about. We covered a number of points, including:What employee experience means to AliHow businesses can learn from Ali's approach to using physical activity as the main driver for wellbeing, happiness and performance in every aspect of people's livesWhat it is that Ali wants from work life that made him suggest he is unemployableThe extent to which employers should be taking the needs and wants of individuals into consideration so that people can work in a way that feels like a positive experienceHow companies can go about meeting such a wide range of unique needs and wantsMore about Ali:Ali is passionate about coaching people to become the best versions of themselves in all aspects of life, creating a holistic and rounded approach to life and wellbeing. His colourful life journey has given him great empathy to understand people for who they really are and fuels his desire to help individuals and businesses thrive. Ali balances his work load to ensure that he is the best Dad he can be to his three young children. His other loves are all things mountains and trail running.

How to make money with freedom? Stop asking yourselves - listen. We’re now on the 6th episode of Daniel Carbonel’s Wake Up to Freedom Podcast and if you know Daniel, then you know that he brings in the Big Guns on the internet as special guests to his show every week. Today he has another successful online entrepreneur and podcaster as his special guest by the name of Kevin Koskella from Freedom Lovin. Kevin is one of the pioneers of online business and have survived thus far, his success is truly phenomenal! He’ll be talking about how to make money with freedom by using the mighty power of the worldwide web. Kevin has gone to great lengths to achieve freedom in his life, so you might want to listen to him. Why do People Seek Freedom? Although our society is based on democracy which outrights bans any form of slavery, the system does not seem to create an environment of freedom for most people. You can see it every day on how people are “required” to work, go to school, get a job, create a business etc. they need money to be able to do what they need to do. Often money is scarce to the people who need it the most which make life even more difficult. So it would be an uninteresting topic to discuss with them on how to make money with freedom. People will think that you’re crazy or delusional! Ever since Kevin was a small boy he would observe these things and question why people are limited to do things that society demands from them, and they never get the chance to do what they really want to do with their own lives. He even suffered more when he felt unfree during college times and after graduating from college. Because everybody was expecting him to get a job, get an apartment and get in line like a slave would. How can a society that professes to embrace freedom when its lifestyle is one of slavery? This is what he often reiterates to Daniel Carbonel during the podcast. So he decided that he will have none of that and start his freedom business even if he had to crawl to do it because he longed for real freedom. He didn’t yet know exactly how to make money with freedom, but he knew he was on the right track. How to Make Money with Freedom…Exactly? Well, for one thing, it won’t be easy, but the tradeoff is that you’ll be completely free. You’ll enjoy the financial freedom from your internet business. Spend more time on yourself or with your family and friends. Experience the privilege to travel the world with absolutely no worries. Know that you are truly free and you can do whatever you want. Now let’s break it down on how Kevin was able to discover how to make money with freedom over the course of 3 years time. In the beginning, Kevin only had 1 website that offered swimming lessons. Also, he was employed in a company as he was still in the corporate world at that time. When he got laid off from his job he became a personal fitness trainer. And this is what he used to merge with his swimming skills in order to teach an effective endurance technique for the triathlon competition. He renamed his website to the now very famous, TriSwimCoach.com where he works as a personal triathlon trainer/coach and people pay him thousands of dollars for it. And that was his first experience real unadulterated freedom in his life! With enough money now to fund new online business fronts Kevin was unstoppable in his freedom business and at long last, he found and created a formula on how to make money with freedom. So from this, we see that Kevin did not pursue the ability to become very good at the technical stuff regarding internet business. Instead, he tried to get creative with what he already knows and discovered a profitable market niche. What’s in Store for you in This Wake Up to Freedom Podcast: Learn Kevin Koskella’s background story Understanding the need to be persistent and consistent when creating an online business Freedom is the payoff of having your own inter...

Subscribe via iTunes The guest for this episode is Kevin Koskella from Triswimcoach.com, TriSwimPro.com, and the Tri Swim Coach podcast. Kevin offers advice to swimmers of all levels during this interview. He offers 5 tips specifically for intermediate to advanced swimmers. 1. Take time to do sprints once per week For example: 8X50, the first 25 yards are all out sprint, next 25 are easy to moderate, 15-20 seconds rest. 2. Use equipment Fins - Kevins preference is the Finis Z2 Gold Zoomers. They help with kick and ankle flexibility. Use as a tool while doing drills and some sprint sets. Paddles - Kevin likes the Finis Freestyler paddles because they teach how to pull the right way. He believes some paddles can exacerbate problems in the pull and cause shoulder issues. 3. Strength training He likes to include deckups (pull yourself out of the pool) and pushups with swimming. It results in less yardage, but adds in strength training. Some of these ideals are similar to Brian McKenzie of CrossFIt. He also recommends the use of elastic tubing. 4. Decrease your interval Over a given distance give yourself less rest and decrease your interval. In a Masters swim group this might mean moving up a lane. 5. Play free golf Example workout: 6X50 with 20 to 30 seconds rest. Count your strokes and your time on each 50. Your score is the combination of your time and your strokes for each 50. For each subsequent 50 you want to lower your score. This requires getting more efficient or doing a higher effort while maintaining good form. Subscribe via iTunes

Join Ben to race a double triathlon in Thailand (http://www.lagunaphukettriathlon.com/)! Week 1: Laguna Phuket Triathlon; Week 2: Ironman 70.3 Thailand. Here's the details... 1) The Laguna Phuket triathlon sold out BUT they have given me race slots for any athletes who want to accompany me for this trip. The 70.3 race is still open for entry. 2) I was able to book a block of rooms at the main hotel at the center of the race hub and *exactly* where you want to be for all the action, for a 30% DISCOUNT (plus, cut that in half if I hook you up with a roommate). 3) I was given all information about WHAT you need to do to get the rooms and to register for the race, along with special "travel agent" pricing, even though I'm not an agent. 4) I have had 8 athletes confirm that they will be attending and so that leaves room for SEVEN additional athletes. I simply don't see myself being able to arrange logistics and guide more than FIFTEEN athletes on this trip. So, 7 slots left. 5) Let's be very straight up about cost: I am flying from Seattle in the U.S. and, not counting food & incidentals, am budgeting $2950 USD for the entire trip, start to finish. 6) Let's also be very straight about MY responsibilities: I will get YOU your hotel, a roommate to share costs with, your race slot, get you and your bike from the airport to the hotel, do guided race course tours, get awards banquet tickets if you want one, and arrange all nightly dinners, social functions and group parties. 7) Let's finally be very straight about YOUR responsibilities: YOU will register for the race following my instructions, arrange your own flight into Phuket, pay $200 USD for me to organize everything, and make sure you settle with me for your share of the room block. So IF YOU WANT IN, reply very soon! I will be acting fast to squeeze us into the race. Like I said, only 7 slots are left. 5.

First Name Last Name Email Cell # (1+area code) --------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A Listener TM asks: What is your take on hornet juice? Listener Paul asks: I have a question about consuming protein drinks/powder. Consumer Reports has put out an article stating that high consumption of these powders can be damaging to your body due to heavy metals which are injested. You can read the article here: http://www.consumerreports.org/health/natural-health/protein-drinks/overview/index.htm . Nearly every morning, after I workout, I eat Bob Seebohar Super Oatmeal Breakfast. You probably know what this is but it is oatmeal, cocoa, protein powder, flax, raisens and banana. See it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5R4cde9IzSc . Sometimes I have a protein drink after my evening workout. The article talks about high consumption being maybe 8 scoops per day. I average just over 1 scoop. I know that natural proteins in chicken, eggs, etc are better but do you think that this level of protein powder intake put me at any long term risks? In my response to Paul, I mention Living Protein (get it here) and Mt. Capra Double Bonded Whey (get it here, use 5% discount code BGF). Listener Chris asks: Can you talk about the best way to deal with road rash? (got some, no fun). Also, I have found your post-workout carb intake formula INVALUABLE. I have always struggled with either over eating or feeling like crap later in the day, or the next day, after a long and hard work. I am definitely eating more during and after working, and starting to drop that last 10 I've never been able to shed, with the post-workout carbs being the only variable I've changed recently. My question is that since part of the equation is based from your ideal body weight, do you have to factor in calories consumed during your work out? Listener David asks: Anyway, my question really is more around the logistics of traveling to a distant event. I need to plan on at least 2 travel days to get there, during a fairly critical phase of training, plus time to overcome any jetlag, time to acclimate, hopefully train a little on the actual course, and then properly taper during the last week. How far in advance would you recommend trying to get to the event location to take all these factors into account. Bear in mind, I'm an age grouper just wanting to finish in a respectable (for me) time, probably 13-14 hours. Any suggestions on planning and logistics for something like this would be much appreciated. One thing I definitely plan on doing is following your nutrition and supplement recommendations, especially during the travel period, to ensure I don't get sick and bounce back quickly from any jetlag. Listener Graeme asks: I'm an Irish guy based in London and found your podcast (Ben Greenfield Fitness) through the Tri Swim Coach podcast. I'm now working my way through your back catalogue and have a ton of notes on tips and advice which is awesome. I have also signed up for the Rockstar Triathlete Academy which I'm exploring and enjoying. I have a couple of questions that I can't get out of my head if you dont mind me sharing: Q1 - I downloaded (in Rockstar Triathlete) the 70.3 intermediate programme as I have a 70.3 coming up in 3 weeks. I looked over the last 4 weeks to see what you recommend and was suprised to see power workouts and unless I missed it, no long endurance rides/ runs. Is it right to work through base, then do more musular endurance and then finish up with some power sessions without continuing to invest in base workouts. I'd love to hear your thoughts! Q2 - I raced an Olympic Tri at the weekend which was my first race of the year and where previously I have used pure caffeine with 'Sports Legs' as pre race nutrition I didnt like the feeling that a large dosage of caffeine gives me so this year I will race on Sports Legs (I assume you are familiar with this supplement which uses vit D/ Calcium/ Magnesium & Lactate) with 'Pre Race', a supplement by 1st Endurance which has a bunch of stuff to stimulate the nervous system. The combination seemed to work really well, my threshold was 15 beats higher on the bike and 12 on the run. This got me thinking, when I train in 'tempo' pace I will be training at the right effort with no supplements but on race day my HR will be higher which I assume equates to higher effort/ workload so I may be undercooking my race pace/ tempo pacing. So how do you factor in race day performance supplements into your training? If I am to guess the answer I think it is that I need to train at the 'power' and intensity of my racing tempo pace, which in racing is endurance tempo and in training (without supplements) will feel more intense and I will purhaps be above my threshold. The area of pacing for my upcoming 70.3 I find tricky enough without my zones going out the window because of some supplements (although I'm not complaining). So how do you triain for this effect and how do you plan your pacing? Q3 - I now take, Omega 3/ Vit C/ Magnesium/ multi vits/ Q10 supplements (and I just ordered some stuff from your site today to add to this list). I consume these tablets together on an empty stomach first thing in the morning mainly so I dont forget to take them. But when should I be taking these supplements, together, with food, am/ pm or what suggestions would you have to maximise their effectiveness. Congratulations to Graeme, who was nominated as the top question for this week's podcast! Graeme will receive a free month of membership to the Body Transformation Club, full access to the Club's secret video page, the life-changing piece of Club mail that I will personally send him each week, and much more.

Listener Eric asks: During the last couple of triathlons stretching back to last August, I have struggled during the run segment with GI stress. It feels like something bouncing around my gut. Is this a symptom of something that can be resolved? I read somewhere that this can be a sign of an electrolyte imbalance or shortage. My usual in-take pre-race is a yogurt/granola mix, bananas, and/or toast. During a race, I usually take in one or two gels during the bike depending on the distance and a water/gatorade mix. I am usually racing in sprint to olympic distances and this problem has been most pronounced during longer distance races. Listener Christina asks: I am a fitness instructor and mom of 3 who 2 weeks ago had ACL reconstruction and cartiledge repair on my right knee. I kept teaching and staying strong up to the day preceeding my surgery and - thanks to God - am up and walking and riding the recumbent bike 2 to 3 miles each time. I don't get to start PT until next week since I have to wait for my script at the 3 week follow up, so my inquiry is this: if it doesn't hurt would doing things like mini squats or very narrow lunges (think chair pose and warrior poses) be more harmful or beneficial? Listener Mark asks: I am currently preparing for the Ironman 70.3 World Champs. I follow a Paleo nutrition plan which has included eliminating both sugar and artificial sweeteners. One sticking point is sports drinks and gels – most of which contain large amounts of sugar and/or artificial sweeteners. Do you have any thoughts on this recommendations of alternatives that I can use both in training and racing? Do you have a question for Ben?
