This is my first time having two guests on at once, and the hardest part may be the show notes page! Today, I'm bringing you Gareth Martin and Craig Haywood, the hosts of the amazing podcast, Ridiculously Human. They are committed to the art of storytelling by having guests come to tell their stories, and the two of them have a great chemistry and ability to draw out the best of those stories for the listeners (and for the person telling the story and for the two of them). Both from South Africa, they share a passion to unwrap and explore the lives of interesting people. As humans,  we are all connected on a much deeper level and through storytelling and storylistening, and Gareth and Craig aim to realize and understand those connections better. Their podcast and website are dedicated to sharing the stories and journey’s of other incredible humans. They want everyone to realize that we all have responsibility and a role to play as micro-leaders and micro-influencers, and that together we are stronger and better. Here is some more detail on each of them separately. Gareth Martin Transformation Coach. Bodybuilder. Yogi. Ex-Investment Banker. Natural Chef. Meditation Teacher. Smiler. Traveller. Lover Of Challenges. Networker. Organisation Guru. Podcast Host. Gareth Martin, knows all too well about trying many things in life. He believes that there is a certain importance around experiencing new things, to help grow you as a person and find out who you are and what you want in life. Gareth was born and grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa. He was never one to shy away from getting involved in team-sports and thrived in the competition and camaraderie, but he also found a lot of peace and solitude in individual sports, namely swimming. His folks got divorced when he was nine years old, and like with many break-ups, it was pretty messy. It ended up creating a lot of confusion and sadness in his life when he was a teenager. He couldn’t quite understand the anger he saw between his parents, because Gareth was always a bit of a soft, compassionate kid at heart. When he was sixteen, his life would take a shocking turn when he was involved in a life-threatening head-on collision while riding his motorbike. Gareth looks back on this event with good fortune because he believes that it gave him a different perspective on life which he would not have otherwise had. He knows it’s important to make the most of every opportunity because you do never know when your time might be up. After deciding to overstay his first gap year in London, it was time to get serious and find a real job. So he went to a job fair and managed to get himself a role doing the filing at an Investment Bank. Little did he know, that it would be a career which would span almost 20 years. These days, Gareth works as a Transformational Coach, he is also the co-host of The Ridiculously Human Podcast. It took him a couple of years of transformation and upskilling to get him here though. After banking, he spent 3 months in India learning to become a Yoga and Meditation Teacher. He then spent a year studying to be a chef. He also completed a few other life-changing courses, one of which included getting certified as an Executive Coach. Gareth believes in not letting anyone else’s thoughts stop you from doing what you want in life. Embrace each opportunity which comes it’s way and make the most of every interaction you have. Make the most of your relationships and friendships and treat every moment as a learning opportunity. Craig Haywood Doctor of Chiropractic. Science Enthusiast. Networking Machine. Smiler. Deep Thinker. Rock Solid Buddy. Truth Seeker. Pragmatist. Host of The Ridiculously Human Podcast Craig was born in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, known as the friendly and windy city! He struggled a bit as a youngster with self-esteem issues. At times, he sometimes felt disconnected with his parents, he blamed himself for their fighting and would use food as a coping mechanism, and he ate a lot!! His Grandad, played a big influence in his life and ‘their thing’ was to go fishing together. Besides being a great storyteller, his Grandad would also teach all the grandkids how to drive from a very young age, as well as, how to do the Waltz! When Craig was 17 years old, something would happen that would take him on a new life trajectory. Their little family sausage dog, Jackie, was in extreme pain and had lost the use of her back legs. The vet could not help Jackie, so he sent them to see a Chiropractor. The Chiropractor, adjusted her spine and the lame legs she went in on, she managed to walk out on….!! A year later, he was living in his sister's garage in Johannesburg, to begin his studies to become a Chiropractor. Craig suffered a severe setback when he was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, an autoimmune condition. It started with inflammation in his eye, and his pupils would not dilate. He then experienced inflammation in his knees and hips, which really impacted his mobility, and being a Chiropractor, that was a rather scary prospect. Through hours of learning and searching and implementing changes in his diet and mindset, he has never been healthier and has no signs of ever having anything. Once qualified, a rather serendipitous scenario led him to accept a job in the Netherlands. It was a bit of a shock moving to somewhere he had never been, had no friends, didn’t understand the culture and never spoke the language either!! Talk about throwing yourself in the deep end. Craig is a master of many things, two which stand out are, excelling in his profession as a Chiropractor and his likeability factor. He makes a huge effort to network and make others feel comfortable. He likes adventure and to take calculated risks, and now resides with his wife, Chantelle, in Australia. He gets to see his brother often, lives near the beach, enjoys the great weather, has a thriving practise and Chantelle has a highly successful business too! Key Points from the Episode with Gareth Martin & Craig Haywood of The Ridiculously Human Podcast: Craig and Gareth are two South African guys who connected over their love to people’s stories, and they got together to start the Ridiculously Human podcast to give people a platform to share their stories. Through sharing out stories and hearing those of others, we grow as people and as a collective group. There’s empowerment to people telling their stories and hearing the stories of others. The biggest lesson they’ve learned through listening to so many people’s stories is to be massively respectful of people because you really never know what they’ve been through. They have noticed the facade we are pushed to create given the pressure of social media, whereas storytelling, we can reconnect with a tangible reality rather than creating this version of ourselves. We can feel safe sharing our true selves. We started with Craig’s story, which, like mine, is one of childhood obesity. And, like mine, it was fueled by anxiety and emotional unrest from being caught in the middle of fighting at home. For him, the thing that broke him out of it was ego and a desire to be desirable. His ego was the catalyst to change things as he entered his early teen years, losing all the weight in about a year. The mentality of things happening too you instead of for you amplifies the negatives in your life, and can lead you further down the wrong path. While his initial reason for losing weight was about ego and appearances, he ended up going down a path of wellness later in life after an autoimmune condition lead him to need to be healthy for bigger reasons. The weight had started to come back on during university as the stress and social pressure lead to poor choices. At the same time, he was diagnosed with an autoimmune issue. He asked why his body was reacting to itself, which lead him to look into health properly. Craig is a chiropractor, which came from seeing how his family dog, who could barely walk, was totally cured through a single chiropractic visit. He ended up studying under that practitioner, who was more a mentor and guide to him than just an experienced teacher. What Craig learned through his health journey is true in so many situations – you have to look within. The answers can’t always lie outside of you. You should become an expert on the aspects of your own life – your finances, your health, your understanding, etc. No one really knows it all or really cares enough about you to solve everything for you. Except yourself. To do that, you have to be ok with being uncomfortable, and take responsibility for your situation. Getting into Gareth’s story, instead of obesity, Gareth was heavily into sports growing up. It was almost an addiction, and that was his escape from family issues from his parents’ divorce when he was 9. He loved the competitiveness of individual sports, and also loved the camaraderie of team sports. As he has looked back on his life, he’s found that he always has thrived more when he’s around other people, so team sports had a real draw to him. When Gareth was 16, he was in a terrible motorcycle accident as he was hit by a drunk driver, sending him flying through the air, into a telephone pole, and straight to the ground. An off-duty paramedic happened to be one of the witnesses of the crash, which is the only reason Gareth is still alive given how much critical, immediate care he needed to survive. His first night was touch-and-go, while today, he is 100% back to normal so it didn’t leave a physical impact, but it did leave a major emotional one. Surprisingly, it is very positive. Gareth has an incredibly positive approach to life, and finds himself treasuring each day of his life because of how clear it was made to him just how precious that is. He’s taken so many chances and seized so many opportunities as a result, so he shared how thankful he was for the accident. It reminds me of others who have been on the show who went through something incredibly hard who feel the same about it, like Josh Perry, for example. Looking back on his recovery, he doesn’t remember dark moments or feeling sorry for himself. He remembers all of the visitors and love he had. He remembers how his mother cared for him full-time (she was a nurse, so she was the right person to help him). He talks about the recovery process in the warmest way, and calls himself so fortunate for how it went, and notes how that positivity and love helped speed his recovery and his approach to it. We talked about the impact Gareth’s parents’ divorce had on him and his idea of relationships, and he said he’s always very much craved close, honest, supportive relationships. Craig said how he’s noticed Gareth’s approach to others, and sees that connection from both the divorce and the way people were there during his recovery from the accident. Gareth has found that we do genuinely want the best for each other and care about you, and if you feel that, you grow from it. I did ask why Gareth was able to look at things in this way, and he isn’t quite sure. He says he was always a happy kid, and this is just who he is. Craig wondered if this is just innately in us, or if there’s a way to choose to look differently or learn to think this way, which is exactly what I’m after with this podcast. How do we choose to interpret our experiences in this more positive way so we can rise above them instead of being stuck within them. How can we all feel the way Gareth does when we face something like his accident. Craig was in a different mindset when he was in the midst of his health crisis. He is so curious about how to look differently at these things. He felt positive inside, but also still felt this darkness. What he found is that he can work through what he’s feeling versus it just being a bit of a light switch moment. That’s very helpful – we all moments where we struggle, and we shouldn’t get down on ourselves for times we struggle to just flip and be happy. Stop and reflect on the things that we can be grateful for and the other hard times we’ve gotten through so that we can use that energy to face what we have going on in the current moment. If we feel ourselves genuinely wishing others well, we should realize that they wish us well, and we can do it for ourselves, too. They talked about this shift in the world to move from aspirational marketing to inspirational marketing. There’s a craving for authenticity. Gareth left us with some excellent advice to be observers of the good out there. Craig shared the responsibility we as podcasters have to help create new norms of better choices to help spread that message. Gareth added how interesting it is how norms become norms, and how long it can take, which reinforces the whole discussion.

Craig and Jennifer Dumnich—better known as Craig and Jenny D—help their clients succeed in business and wellness by using techniques that maximize energy, focus and productivity. They believe that being personally fulfilled and individually successful allow their clients and themselves to more effectively help the less fortunate. Through their Golden Wings Helping Hands charity, the Craniofacial Organization and the City Gala, they raise funds for those in need and finance innovative startups to give them an essential initial boost.   Show Notes: What is Craig and Jenny’s primary goal when working with a new client? Identifying and removing any barriers preventing their clients from achieving personal and professional growth. The “Success Matrix” and determining which areas of our lives are more or less successful. Why was working in corporate positions not conducive to Craig and Jenny’s success and wellbeing? The recession last decade led to continual layoffs and temporary positions, and the “employee mindset” is not flexible to everybody’s needs. What was the biggest challenge going from being employees to entrepreneurs? Finding the confidence to sell themselves rather than someone else’s product or service. Changing mindset regarding health, problem-solving, validation, and other hangups. How do Craig and Jenny help their clients identify the barriers obstructing their progress? By acting as outside observers and objectively pointing out stumbling blocks that their client might react negatively to if a friend, family member or partner tried brought up these issues instead. What toxic thinking patterns did Craig, Jenny and their clients have to overcome and how has their relationship with money evolved? Jenny brings up a case study to underline the four root causes affecting how you behave in all areas of your life: scarcity, worthiness, fear of abandonment, and need for safety. What cost do we pay professionally when we’re operating at a lower level of health and physical fitness? Being fatigued and in poor shape can significantly and negatively affect our focus and drive. How can we maintain positive health habits and fitness while on the road or during vacation? On vacation, it’s good and even healthy to take a break from your regular routine as long as you get right back on it upon your return. On a work trip, it’s a good idea to alter your eating habits in a way that improves your energy levels through the day (go vegan, even if only temporarily!). Why do Craig and Jenny work with the Golden Wings Helping Hands charity? They admire the organization’s willingness to empathize with those and need and extend a helping hand where others might pass them by entirely. How has achieving success in their coaching business allowed Craig and Jenny to give back to the community? More than just giving financially, they can also mentor and provide greater levels of institutional access. Paying goodwill and charity forward to everyone they meet, such as the baristas who make their coffee. Who have been Craig and Jenny’s most impactful people in their journeys to do well? Jenny: her grandfather. Craig: his father. Who have been Craig and Jenny’s most impactful people in feeding their drives to do good? Their family. What Craig and Jenny do when they are having bad days to get out of the funk: Get outside, find a new environment, walk or run. Their book recommendations: Craig: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill Jenny: Afformations by John Noah St. What are the worst and best pieces of advice Crag and Jenny have ever received? Jenny’s worst: That it’s a numbers game you have to be working all the time. Craig’s worst: Keeping your nose to the grindstone. Jenny’s best: Understand why you’re undertaking a project or assignment. Craig’s best: Focus is more important than intelligence. Places to find Craig and...

On episode 34 we're taking a 360° look with the VP of Sales for Power Plate, Craig Bradley, at how technology is impacting new training methods in the fitness industry. If you've been curious about whole body vibration training and how this technology along with many others is now changing both the group and one-on-one training experience, you're in the right place. But were not just talking about the Power Plate on today's show, we're also learning about the impact of new technology in the primary vertical markets, including real direct to consumer, blue-chip clubs, medical, and active aging segments, where Craig explains what he believes the next 24 months hold in both opportunities and growth potential for all fitness professionals. Craig also presents a handful of controversial ideas around exercise adherence and turns the personal training model upside down, as he shares about a pilot test in one of his former clubs where they gave away personal training, and how it actually earned more revenue for the club than when they charged.  What are the various training methods we're seeing rise up in our space, fueled by new technologies? The answers to those questions and much more takeaways for club owners, operators, and fitness professionals right here, right now with Craig Bradley. About Craig Bradley Craig Bradley is the VP of Sales for Power Plate and Performance Health Systems. As a global business professional capable of blending sales and marketing skills with operational expertise to grow profits, Craig has a reputation for reducing costs and improving customer satisfaction in the fitness industry. With a vast understanding of the global market, Craig has deep expertise in the relationships between fiduciary responsibility and the value of diversity across multiple verticals. Listen To Episode 034 As Craig Uncovers What is whole body vibrational training Understanding the new training methods using technology Craig's vantage on the primary vertical markets in fitness: Real direct to consumer Commercial fitness space: elite professional, NFL, NBA, S&C Blue Chip Clubs: Equinox, Lifetime Active aging space Medical space Understanding the Power Plate: vibrational platform that essentially helps the consumer prepare faster, perform better, and recover quicker for exercise by stimulating the natural reflexes, increasing muscle activation, and improving circulation Why more and more options exist now for the home user like Peloton, Daily Burn, and Power Plate Why fitness consumers and members of gyms are supplementing what they do in the club with activities at work or home How will the role of trainers will shift as new training methods rise up The role of empathy for personal trainers combined with technology Why Craig believes that being in a management position actually is a popularity contest, regardless of conventional thinking around the role of this position What Craig believes that the next 12-24 months (trends) will create in our space Top 3 Takeaways From The Show Craig reminds us about the important of fitness professionals to practicing emotional intelligence, combined with technology will be in the digital world ahead. The reality is that many fitness pros are gym rats, and they love being in the gym to work out. But the clients they work with don't always share that same mindset. The long-term behavior change strategies from trainers (that want to serve their clients where they actually are) must include smarter touch points through cloud-based accountability and proven behavior change models. Vibrational training is currently proving to be a revenue booster for small group training where novelty and individualized programming are valued most. We're also seeing the medical and active aging space rapidly adopt vibrational training due to its benefits and low impact for people who suffer with chronic conditions. Smart clubs and small group training facilities are taking a bigger look at vibrational training in 2017. Craig believes that combining member club usage data with the data sets outside the four walls is the future of fitness and represents a major opportunity in both revenue and customer service. Imagine what omni-channel and omnipresence experience could be delivered to our members if we could contextualize their data in and out of the facility; tailored to give them the right message at the right time based on how they actually live. Power Quotes From Craig "Make it fun. I think the more you can engage and coach folks in a fun environment, the more adherence you'll see. There is a reason why most of the fitness brands that are more 'party, playful, and fun' in their orientation do extremely well, and that's the area that I would try and encourage operators to explore."  -  Craig Bradley on the Fitness + Technology Podcast "I think diet is the big opportunity for fitness operators out there. What people put in their body is obviously more important than what they do with their body, and I see that as a huge opportunity. Obviously there are diet subscriptions and apps now, but if fitness companies can find a solution whereby they offer a diet solution to their subscriber base, this is a massive opportunity." - Craig Bradley on the Fitness + Technology Podcast Resources Mentioned From Craig Power Plate website Power Plate on LinkedIn Craig Bradley on LinkedIn Contact Craig Bradley Personal Power Plate Power Plate on facebook Power Plate on Twitter Power Plate on Instagram Simon Sinek: Start With WHY Power Plate in the news Private studios using vibrational training New Equinox Facility in Chicago: Crossing the bridge into fitness, wellness and into hospitality  Apple Watch in Fitness Pokemon GO Small Group Training Using Power Plate ASFS Webinar: Vibrational training FTP Episode #030 JR Burgess: Medical Fitness The 2017 FIT-C Tech Trends Report Thanks To Our Outstanding Sponsors Turbo-STRAPP is a wearable platform that harnesses the power of wearable fitness devices and seamlessly shares the data with fitness professionals.

Have you ever had a perfect day? It’s a day where everything seems to be in your favor. You accomplish all of the things you want. You feel happy and fulfilled. And you go to bed at night wishing that everyday can be just like this. Aaaaah… It’s a day that has that new car smell. It’s feeling like you have the Midas touch. It’s when life is just flat out awesome. So, why can’t we have more perfect days like that? Well, the obvious answer is because a lot of crap happens in our life, and it can take our wish of a perfect day and throw it right into the garbage disposal. The less obvious answer is because we forfeited having our perfect day because we didn’t know the simple, proven steps to create it. The breaking news flash today is that we CAN construct more perfect days. But we have to decide to stop spending our days playing the game of crap-dodgeball that life is flinging at us. We have to be proactive and activate The Perfect Day Formula. And you’re about to meet just the man to help you do it. Craig Ballantyne has long been admired in the fitness industry for helping people with busy lives and little time to achieve the physical results they want.
