About your host Aleks: Aleks Chojnacka has been on a health journey for many years, learning so much along the way. At a young age, she experienced debilitating fatigue but was unable to solve it through a Western medicine approach. Eventually, she turned to alternative methods and experienced a transformative shift in her health. By discovering the power of the mind, body, and spirit connection through different tools and practices, she was able to regulate her nervous system and step back into the most energized version of herself. Knowing that so many others have had similar struggles, Aleks pursued credentials in health coaching and breathwork and created Detox House, a portal for bridging the spiritual body with the physical body through somatic practices like breathwork, sauna, and cold plunge. Her end goal is to empower individuals to get rid of the things that no longer serve them, whether a difficult mindset or physical ailment, and step back into their truest selves so they can live their most joyful lives. She's here to help people squeeze the most out of life and remember why they're here: to enjoy it.

A walk-on at Kansas State who was taken in the second round of the 2002 NFL draft by the New York Jets, Jon McGraw went on to play 10 pro seasons in the NFL, making stops with the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs along the way. For all his success, including winning the prestigious Ed Block Courage Award in 2011, the process of playing football wasn't always a great experience for the hard-nosed safety. The daily grind took its toll and he felt his focus was suffering. Toward the end of his career, McGraw stumbled across the concept of Process-Oriented Psychology. Instead of focusing on the end result, he learned to find purpose in the day-to-day aspects of the job and found joy in the sport again. This ultimately led McGraw to pursue an entrepreneurial path after football, sharing what he'd learned with other pro athletes and corporate executives working in high-stress environments. He co-founded Vision Pursue alongside his business partner, Russ Rausch, a former hedge fund operator. Today, Vision Pursue works with high-profile clients in sports and business, including the Miami Heat, the San Francisco 49ers, and FedEx.

Summary Life after the Olympics for Katherine Adamek was difficult, filled with injuries and setbacks. But through those hard times, she was able to take control of her life, largely through her mindset. In part one ( https://www.localfirstpodcast.com/katherine-adamek/ (https://www.localfirstpodcast.com/katherine-adamek/) ) she shared the journey of what it took to get to the Olympics. In this episode, she details her life after the Olympics, which included surgery and rehab, overcoming resentment and unhappiness, to now coaching and speaking on mindset and how important it is. Hot Topics in this episode: The most difficult physical and emotional time in her life Post-Concussive Syndrome Stories we tell ourselves that aren’t true Rule of 5/95 Why she chose coaching Breaking down your struggle into manageable pieces [25:09] Katherine asks: Tell me about the first time you learned ‘embrace the suck’ and what a difference it’s made for you. Vision Pursue, Katherine’s favorite resource For 12 free days, and 20% off, use code: KAC12 https://www.visionpursue.com (https://www.visionpursue.com/) [18:28] We get stuck in thinking either, ‘I’m awesome’ or ‘I suck’. And it’s like if you didn’t achieve the goal perfectly, you can’t be happy with where you’re at. And not only is that not true, but it’s impossible to live a meaningful, purposeful life when you’re constantly battling the two sides of the coin of ‘I’m awesome’ or ‘I suck’. What I like to help people do is find all the shades of grey, find all the ways they bring meaning and purpose, not only to their life, but to people around them. And find more motivation in this idea of baby steps daily, than in the idea of chasing perfect.

Russ is one of six children born and raised in rural Kansas. He was the first in his family to go to college. He graduated with honors in accounting and went to work for one of the big accounting firms. He married 3 years out of school. He was then self-employed for several years. Russ moved to Chicago and joined the trading software firm, Trading Technologies in 1998. He was part of the executive team that took them from a 20-person startup to a successful 650-person global company. He served TT as CFO, CIO, Head of Global Support and EVP of Global Buyside Sales. Despite the success that TT enjoyed and having a great family of six, he found myself increasingly dissatisfied with work and life. He often found himself wondering “what’s the point of doing all of this work if it doesn’t feel any better that this?” In 2011 Russ became the Chief Operating Officer of the hedge fund Emil van Essen thinking a new and more prestigious job would make him feel better. However, it only made me feel worse. In 2012 he read a book that made him believe that his dissatisfaction was the result of an internal and not an external problem. In other words it was based on how his mind was working or experiencing the external world. This was the initial spark for Russ's company Vision Pursue, or VP. After years of studying and applying areas of neuroscience and psychology, Russ changed the way he was experiencing the world. He then started working on a process to help others make this transformation. This evolved into an in-person training and app that is VP. Three other partners have joined Russ and together they’ve built VP. The VP team has been doing it full-time for the last 3 years and has a good client base of companies and sports teams. Vision Pursue has recently started working on its consumer program through their app. Listen as we talk about: What he thought happiness was and how that’s different now How a book shifted his sense of purpose to be internal Why we experience displeasure or escape 80% of our day and why Russ can change that Why the passive approach to progress makes the opposite happen The value in enjoying the journey Why professional athletes are just like you and me Why results are more likely to come with purpose Why any transformation must start with experience Scientific explanations that will make you think about your feelings differently How to influence your systems of the mind to alter your patterns What is SEE and how it makes us more aware Why we must get our expectations in line with the way the world is The Vision Pursue program and the details of the mobile app My top recommendation for Russ as requested by him Resources Mentioned: Article about his work in the NFL Russ’s website - visionpursue.com Vision Pursue App - Apple and Android stores John Wooden quotes The work of Dan Quinn, Scott Service , and Andre Coleman dharma.org - directory for 10 day meditation course How to Contact Russ: rrausch@visionpursue.com Join our purpose seeking podcast community at...

“Striving for growth and improvement is designed to co-exist with satisfaction and contentment with what is right now.” Jon McGraw is a former NFL safety who spent time playing under the Kansas City Chiefs, the Detroit Lions, and the New York Jets. What you wouldn't know from McGraw's career history is the fact that he struggled with performance anxiety during his time as a professional athlete. “Your mind can take you to some dark places.” After retiring from the NFL due to multiple concussions, McGraw was driven to learn more about how the brain is impacted by different things. This led to McGraw co-founding Vision Pursue, an organization with a mission to dramatically improve the way people experience life by improving their mindset. Throughout this episode, McCabe and McGraw dive into discussion about performance anxiety, inner fulfillment, and how the mind is different from the brain. McGraw talks about how one of the many goals of Vision Pursue is to move people to a place where they are not depending on their external circumstances to determine their internal experiences. “We should operate from a place of fulfillment and contentment, completely satisfied with what IS, but knowing that there's really important things that we're on this planet to do. There's people who are counting on us, and the things we do in life impact others." This podcast episode touches on multiple discussion topics that athletes and performers everywhere deal with every day.
