Podcasts about what shawn

Our ability to connect and relate to each other is dependent upon how we feel. Which means, the food we eat has a strong influence on how we connect to each other. But one of the issues lies in the fact that the environment we have created around us is conducive and supportive to sickness, and is ultimately preventing us from experiencing deeper connections.  In this episode of the Align Podcast, I have a conversation with Shawn Stevenson on what contributes to deeper human connection, how the media affects our relationships, and why Shawn’s marriage has been successful. Plus, he also discusses how nutrition plays a surprising role in sleep, his thoughts on the conventional medicine approach. Shawn is a bestselling author of Sleep Smarter and has another book coming out, Eat Smarter, is a nutritionist, science educator, & creator of The Model Health Show, featured as the #1 Health Podcast in the U.S. What we discuss: [00:06:15] Shawn discusses the relationship between social media and sleep deprivation [00:09:07] How nutrition affects sleep [00:11:32] What Shawn thinks of the conventional medicine approach [00:16:47] How the environment plays a role in our behavior [00:24:32] Who we are at our core vs. how we behave [00:29:08] Romanticized media vs. our true needs in a relationship [00:37:55] Being human: intuition and connection  [00:50:55] Our capacity of connecting to others is dependent upon how we feel individually [00:56:12] How does our nutrition affects the way we relate to our significant other Website: https://themodelhealthshow.com/ Instagram: @shawnmodel YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheShawnModel/ Book: https://eatsmarterbook.com/ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-model-health-show/id640246578

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   Today’s episode was produced and recorded live on-site at the Edmonton Convention Center in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada for the RIMS Canada Conference! Justin got to interview some big influencers in the Canadian Risk Management community and ask some questions specifically around technology.   The first guest is Shawn Kanungo, a Disruption Strategist who has been with Deloitte for several years and was the conference’s MC. He opened the event by coming out in an ELA (an electronic autonomous vehicle) being piloted for municipalities in Canada. What’s so exciting about this interview is that they actually recorded from the same vehicle that had just made its circles on the exhibit hall floor! The next interview Justin conducted was with Jim Swanson. Jim is the recently retired Director of Insurance and Risk Management for the Province of Manitoba, as well as an active RIMS member. Together, Justin and Jim discuss his career, the ERM processes, and frameworks he put in place for the Province of Manitoba. Next up to talk with Justin is Ren Matterson, the immediate Past Chair for the RIMS Canada Council. They speak about the state of the profession in North America and how certain Canadian risk management practices have served as an international trendsetter. Last but certainly not least, Justin speaks about Branden Necula, the Channel Manager of CompuVision — an Edmonton-based IT services company. Just as unique to conducting the interview in an ELA, this time Justin walks the exhibit floor while Branden remotely operated and spoke from a BEAM (which you have to tune in to learn more about!) They discuss how the risk management profession can prepare for technology and disruption.   Tune in for this not-to-miss episode!   Key Takeaways: [:15] All about today’s episode!

This week, the Because of Horses Podcast is celebrating its 100th episode with a very special conversation with legendary reiner, Shawn Flarida! Shawn is the winner of five gold medals at the World Equestrian Games, winner of the All-American Quarter Horse Congress nine times, and the first person to break the $6 million mark in Reining, which he did at the 2017 National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) Futurity.   But, despite all of the record-breaking firsts and the extraordinary career achievements, for Shawn, family is the most important thing in his life — and, of course, he really loves his horses! At a very young age, Shawn knew he was going to be a trainer. And as the son of a respected horseman, who both encouraged and demanded the best of him, he developed a keen understanding of horses, a passion for reining, and a reputation for being one of the hardest working riders in the sport.   Tune in to hear all about Shawn’s successful career journey, his tips on reining, some of the most impactful moments in both competition and training, and his incredible passion for working with horses that has led him to be as successful as he is today! Shawn also shares many additional tips on what to consider if you’re debating going pro, how to raise your performance in the show ring, what young aspiring riders (and their parents) should consider when they begin to compete, how to better read and train your horse, and which qualities are most important for a reining horse.   Topics of Discussion: [:25] About today’s guest, Shawn Flarida!

[7:00] Shawn reflects on some memorable moments from what is known to be his breakout year in 2001, where he won several major events. [8:10] What does Shawn remember from his first time representing the United States overseas? [9:40] Before Shawn’s incredible success, was there ever a moment where he realized the potential of having — not just a successful reining career — but one that would include breaking many firsts in reining history and breaking multiple world records? [13:38] What goes through Shawn’s mind right before he begins his pattern? [17:05] Shawn’s perspective on wearing two hats as a trainer and a competitor. [18:58] How to raise your performance in the show ring. [20:15] What Shawn thinks riders should consider when debating going pro. [22:20] Having competed and traveled all over the world, why is Springfield, Ohio home to Shawn? [23:49] Shawn speaks about the significance behind the large quote on the homepage of his website: “Success isn’t just about what you accomplish in your life, it’s about what you do to inspire others.” [25:00] Shawn offers some tips on how to better read your horse as well as how to teach it. [26:25] Shawn describes his unique connection with horses and whether or not it comes naturally to him. [28:49] What qualities make for a great reining horse? [31:30] What does Shawn look for in a horse when determining their potential for reining? [33:25] Has Shawn ever had a horse-of-a-lifetime? [36:45] Shawn describes why reining truly takes a village!

We fill every day up.  In fact, we often fill every moment of every day up. And the moments pass.  The days pass. We move from crisis to crisis, event to event. We try to do multiple things at the same time, and pretend it is a skill. In the process, we miss out on the richness of this moment.  We miss out on being truly engaged in the world. Today, I have a special guest, Shawn Ellis. Shawn offers a different perspective.  What if THIS moment (and this one, and this one. . . ) matters? To be more clear, what if WE realize that this moment matters? Shawn, like me, is always learning and growing.  One day, he realized the moments were passing him by in a blur.  An entrepreneur, business owner, husband, and father, Shawn was pulled in all directions -- defaulting to the myth of multi-tasking. One day, he realized that life was passing him by, even as Shawn was trying to live. What Shawn discovered is something he is now sharing with people and companies all over:  This Moment Matters. After listening to our discussion, you can visit Shawn at This Moment Matters (http://thismomentmatters.com).  

Shawn is a principal in British Columbia and is doing some amazing things with technology at his school, including having kindergartners use iPads to create amazing projects. In this interview, we discuss the following: What Shawn is most excited about relating to technology in his school. Why do we use technology in schools? Learning as scaffolding and focusing on learning first, and technology second. Blended learning as having digital and physical tools in front of the student at the same time. Powerful for learning are situations that capture what a student is thinking. Shawn’s role as principal to teachers regarding technology in the school: Permission to try, permission to fail. How to gain trust from your faculty. We are in a relationship business. They need me to support them when they need support and challenge them when they need to be challenged. Reflecting in front of your teachers and being vulnerable in front of them. H/T to @ChrisWejr about 5 things to roar about blog posts. Positive blog posts went from no big deal to students finding those positive events in the school. Key elements to 5 things to roar about posts: celebrate success (student and staff successes) and give parents an idea of what learning looks like in our school. What can we do to be a transformative principal? Mindset, tell the story of your school and do it wherever you are comfortable. What reminds him about why he is doing this great work? For his own kids. Sponsor: Sanebox Web Site Transformative Principal on Stitcher Refer A Principal Best Tools for Busy Administrators Survey
