How do we get back to that freedom and flexibility? A lot of that is really bringing the doctor-patient relationship back together. So what can Sedera bring to the table? You get to be in charge of your health and you get to have an unfettered relationship with your provider. As a medical cost sharing partner, you get to have a really intentional, mutual conversation with your doctor and work out what you need, what you can wait on, and ultimately make decisions together that are right for you. That truly helps you feel empowered with all of the insights and knowledge you need for you to be directly in charge of your healthcare choices."  - Erika Kraus   Rebuilding Our Community In 2021   "At Sedera Health, we take care of ourselves and we take care of one another. You can't go to a community and just think about what you going to get from it; that's not community but we also have to prioritize taking care of ourselves. That mutuality is so, so important and community allows us to have that. Especially 2020 and now in 2021, this experience is allowing us to get back to that with some fresh ways." - Erika Kraus     Fixing The Price Transparency Problem   "We have a price transparency problem in the USA that is everywhere in the news right now and when there's not transparency when it comes to your cost, when you actually do not know what you are paying for, you do not know the end cost. You may need to go have this surgery but if you do not know what that actual cost is, there's no accountability and there's so much room for waste to get built in. No one knows.It's really hard to navigate your healthcare choices but when we do have price transparency, you can look at these different surgery centers and see the actual cost and reviews. That's what shopping for healthcare should look like." - Erika Kraus     Links From Today's Show  Erika Kraus 259 James Maskell Solocast | Vision Quest Part 1: Honoring Our Ancestors Solocast | Vision Quest Part 2: Touching Death Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes Cured Nutrition - Get 15% off of your order when you visit wellnessforce.com/cured + use the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Organifi - Special 20% off to our listeners with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Paleovalley - Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code 'JOSH' Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Belcampo Meat Co - Save 15% on your first order with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE'!

Why do people do a Vision Quest? How does one prepare for it? Different types of Vision Quests and how the are structured. Myths and truths about Vision Quests How many people are able to answer the question, "Why am I here?" after attending a Vision Quest. 196 Aubrey Marcus Why Josh decided to do a Vision Quest with the goal of clearing out generational pain and projections passed down to him from family. Who a Vision Quest is for and how to know if you are not quite ready for one yet. 032 Gay Hendricks What is the 'voice from soul' and how to listen to it. Tim's original life path studying computer science and the moment he knew a life in cubicles was not for him.   [15:30] The Work It Takes To Live Your Purpose Why living your purpose might not be easy; you may have to make sacrifices and work on it every day. The work you will have to do to grow in your purpose the moment you "plant its seed." Why, to quote Mark Twain, "The two most important days of your life are the day you were born and the day you know why." How Mark is still working, 2 decades later, to continue to fulfill his Vision Quest. What struggles people are facing in our modern world when they decide to go on a Vision Quest. Why it's not common to see younger people do Vision Quests but often people in their thirties and forties facing midlife crises. Breaking down what a Rite of Passage is and what it means to Tim. Why Rites of Passage aren't just essential for the individual but to the community as well. The benefits of place based cultures to help younger generations discover their roles compared to living in our modern capitalistic world.   [29:30] Beauty & Power in Ceremony How we can practically use ceremony and traditions in our own communities and wellness tribes. Novah's Baby Blessing ceremony that Josh and Carrie held with close friends and family which included singing the same song, "Peace Like A River" Tim and Josh sung at the sweat lodge during the Vision Quest. 378 Dr. Michael Ruscio The powerful medicine in singing including how it improves our sleeping patterns. What ancient native practices can teach us about life now. Common cultural points he looks for in different tribes and what we can learn from them. Why there is so much powerful healing in crying that connect us all and we shouldn't be ashamed of our emotions. Redefining what it means to be a man and why it is so needed now in 2021.   [35:00] Rites Of Passage For Each Stage Of Life Why opening up and crying is so good for everyone. The incredible power of quality connecting with others that we experience even if you only see that person once or twice a year. Josh and Carrie's Baby Ceremony as a Rite of Passage for them as parents but also welcoming in the spirit of their child. The impact it has on children to not be held by their parents right away when they are born. Comparing the spiritual impact of hospital vs home births and holding spiritual ceremonies in the family space. How Spirit talks to us in omens, dreams, symbols, signs, and synchronicities. Taking a closer look at how our society has been built to disconnect us from self but also harvest and divide us. The fact that people are driven to a quest in the first place because they feel disconnected from self, soul, the earth, and the mystery of life. How we've been taught society's big lie: We are separate from nature. What happens to us when we physically disconnect ourselves from the earth and its wildness. The great void that has been in our hearts since we left Mother Nature for the modern lifestyles. Josh's experience during the 4-day fast and what Mother Nature wanted to teach him. What the Vision Quest gave Josh that Ayahuasca ceremonies couldn't provide him in the past. Why the medicine that the Vision Quest helped ground him in the earth. The importance of embodying and applying  what lessons you learn along the healing journey rather than sprinting from ceremony to ceremony.   [50:50] Vision Quests Vs. Ayahuasca and Psychedelics To Heal What it means to Tim to lead people on Vision Quests and hear the stories of participants like Josh. Unpacking the attachment theory and applying it to our relationship with the earth. Why we need to have a secure attachment to our soul in order to fully experience life. The power of realizing that first and foremost, our identity stems from this earth. What the first nights of the 4 day fast were like for Josh as he had the most frightening nightmares. The blending of the dream world and the waking world that people will experience as they reconnect with Mother Earth. How a Vision Quest is the ultimate shedding of distractions and intentionally shifting one's identity from the place of the ego to one's soul. Why some people can be more harmed and wounded after a psychedelic experience than they were before. The fact that there's a time and a place for healing ourselves with natural remedies but we also have to look at modern methods that fit our lifestyles today. How Josh's Vision Quest is shaping Wellness Force's rebranding  and mission in 2021. 312 Kevin Kelly What steps we can do to live consciously with technology while unlocking greater health and wellness.   [1:11:30] Honoring Our Ancestral Past Why many people see a Vision Quest as a Native American practice but it has been practiced cross culturally for centuries. His and Mark's hope to redefine the term Vision Quest to honor all cultures and our ancestors who have practiced it. How years of colonialism, capitalism have severed our connection to Mother Earth. Connecting our past and the moment in our ancestral history when our families immigrated in order to survive and live a better life. How Josh explored grief during this Vision Quest by asking himself what grief and sadness he was not allowing himself to feel. Why Josh and his partner, Carrie, have chosen the middle name, Mauro, for their son to honor Josh's grandfather and his ancestral heritage. Exploring the healing mechanism that happens when we honor our grief and sadness including that of our ancestors. Why the worst part of trauma is not the trauma itself but how we hold onto it and internalize it that we traumatize ourselves over and over. The intense grief that Tim felt when he realized that full community healing happens after 500 years.   [1:32:30] The Difference Between Pain & Suffering Why there are easier paths to learn from our pain but there is no quick fix. Breaking down why suffering = pain x resistance. Painful but power truths including "pain is inevitable" and "when we argue with reality, we're going to lose." The fact that you are not the only one going through pain and trauma; we all are experiencing that on one level of another. Exploring the positive side to pain if we are opening to hold and explore that. The negative beliefs passed down to Josh from his parents and how he internalized them until a Vision Quest helped him begin to let them go. Why 'hurt people' unknowlying hurt other people. Alan Watts | All Retch & No Vomit How to uncover your own spiritual courage during the inner work and which tools can support you on your journey. Why the earth will serve us when we serve it. The importance of giving yourself to the land and your community; not self-actualization. 255 Ted Ryce Paleovalley - Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code 'JOSH' Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Botanic Tonics - Save 20% off with code 'WELLNESS20' breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community     Power Quotes From The Show Redefining Masculinity   "What does it mean to be a man? I define masculinity as emotional maturity in a very simple way: It's the ability to be aware of, accept, and express the full range of emotions that we have in a healthy way. In fact, that can be a reasonable definition for emotional intelligence in general for all genders. It can be hard to open up; we're still swimming in these waters of programmed behavior of hiding our feelings. But once we do begin to share, others feel more comfortable opening up as well." - Tim Corcoran   The Antidote To Unhealthy Desire   "What happens to us as human beings when we do physically disconnect ourselves from the earth and its wildness, and ourselves from our wildness? Then we start getting sick in body, we start losing our wellness, and our minds start to struggle. We start to have mental health issues that we never had before as we cut ourselves off emotionally and spiritually. Then we wonder why we struggle. Each year the machine just picks up more and more pace, more and more technology and it's like there's a great void in our hearts that came about when we first left our natural roots and the whole time we've been looking to fill that with things like a car or a job but it can never fill us up. We can never get enough of what we truly don't need. So, what is the antidote to desire? It's connection." - Tim Corcoran   Are You Ready For A Vision Quest?     "A Vision Quest is the ultimate shedding of distractions - whether it's tents, warmth, or Facebook likes, those are the trappings of the ego. Those things are what brings us safety, security, and comfort which are all allusions of the ego. A Vision Quest is the intentional process of shifting one's identity from the place of the ego to the place of one's soul. For that to happen, the ego has to loosen its grip during this shedding process and that isn't comfortable. That's why it's important for people have this honest calling and a certain courage to do a Vision Quest because they have to be ready to let go of the things that keep them comfortable. You will get uncomfortable during the process but that is a healthy thing because we live in a culture that worships the 'God of Comfort' and we lose our souls to it, maybe even our planet as a result." - Tim Corcoran     Links From Today's Show  Tim Corcoran 196 Aubrey Marcus 032 Gay Hendricks 378 Dr. Michael Ruscio 312 Kevin Kelly Alan Watts | All Retch & No Vomit 255 Ted Ryce Aubrey Marcus Podcast | #195 Humans and Nature with Tim Corcoran Paleovalley - Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code 'JOSH' Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Botanic Tonics - Save 20% off with code 'WELLNESS20' Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Purpose Mountain Facebook Instagram Twitter Twin Eagles Wilderness School Facebook Instagram YouTube   About Tim Corcoran Tim Corcoran is the founder of Purpose Mountain, where he serves as a certified Nature Based Purpose Guide to support people who hear the call from wild nature to discover their purpose, those with a burning desire to live their vision and a willingness to work with resistance and fears through the Ecology of Self and Voice Dialogue.

Most of us don't give a lot of thought to how and when we listen to podcasts. But like most of life, an intentional approach can reap benefits. In this episode, Josh Russell walks us through: strategies for maximizing retention, listening based on brain state, new data on listening while driving, the value of silence.   Listen on: iTunes Spotify Stitcher   Guest Bio:  Joshua Russell, MD is clinician, writer, and educator.  Since completing residency training in Emergency Medicine, Dr. Russell has had a varied career including supervising PAs and NPs as a medical director for a regional Urgent Care network, contributing to various Hippo Education podcasts, and serving as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Urgent Care Medicine (JUCM). Most recently, he has completed fellowship training in Hospice and Palliative Medicine at the University of Chicago Medical Center. This episode is in support of the I AM ALS. I AM ALS was founded by Brian Wallach and his wife Sandra shortly after his diagnosis at the age of 37. He was given 6 months to live, and now 4 years later he is leading a revolution to find a cure. People often refer to ALS as rare, which is not really so. The lifetime risk is around 1 in 300. Since Lou Gehrig was diagnosed 80 years ago, available treatments have been shown to extend life a mere 3 months. I AM ALS supports research, legislation to fast track therapies, and provides critical resources to patients and caregivers. ALS is relentless, and so are they. The question is no longer if we'll find a cure for ALS, but when. This is an underfunded disease and every little bit makes a difference. We will match donations to I AM ALS up to $5000 -- get started here on our Stimulus Donation Page. And for your daily dose of positivity, follow Brian on Twitter.   We discuss: Strategies for maximizing retention of podcast content [04:20]; How your working memory is like the RAM of your brain [08:40]; Why Josh prefers to listen to podcasts in the morning as this is when he is best able to focus [10:20]; The importance of using your brain for tasks that are appropriate for the state that it's in [12:45]; The fact that not every interstitial moment needs to be occupied by something educational or entertaining  [15:55]; How Rob consumes podcasts [17:10]; A recent study which evaluated the knowledge gained from listening to podcasts while driving compared to that gained from undistracted listening  [20:40]; The value of silence [24:10]; A functional MRI study which shows that listening to a story-based podcast lights up huge areas of the brain [28:35]; A study in mice which found that 2 hours of silence per day led to neurogenesis whereas background or white noise didn't [29:00]; And more.   For complete and detailed show notes, previous episodes, or to sign up for our newsletter: https://www.stimuluspodcast.com/ If you like what you hear on Stimulus and use Apple/iTunes as your podcatcher, please consider leaving a review of the show.

In this episode, Josh Russell walks us through: strategies for maximizing retention, listening based on brain state, new data on listening while driving, the value of silence.   Listen on: iTunes Spotify Stitcher   Guest Bio:  Joshua Russell, MD is clinician, writer, and educator.  Since completing residency training in Emergency Medicine, Dr. Russell has had a varied career including supervising PAs and NPs as a medical director for a regional Urgent Care network, contributing to various Hippo Education podcasts, and serving as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Urgent Care Medicine (JUCM). Most recently, he has completed fellowship training in Hospice and Palliative Medicine at the University of Chicago Medical Center. This episode is in support of the I AM ALS. I AM ALS was founded by Brian Wallach and his wife Sandra shortly after his diagnosis at the age of 37. He was given 6 months to live, and now 4 years later he is leading a revolution to find a cure. People often refer to ALS as rare, which is not really so. The lifetime risk is around 1 in 300. Since Lou Gehrig was diagnosed 80 years ago, available treatments have been shown to extend life a mere 3 months. I AM ALS supports research, legislation to fast track therapies, and provides critical resources to patients and caregivers. ALS is relentless, and so are they. The question is no longer if we'll find a cure for ALS, but when. This is an underfunded disease and every little bit makes a difference. We will match donations to I AM ALS up to $5000 -- get started here on our Stimulus Donation Page. And for your daily dose of positivity, follow Brian on Twitter.   We discuss: Strategies for maximizing retention of podcast content [04:20]; How your working memory is like the RAM of your brain [08:40]; Why Josh prefers to listen to podcasts in the morning as this is when he is best able to focus [10:20]; The importance of using your brain for tasks that are appropriate for the state that it's in [12:45]; The fact that not every interstitial moment needs to be occupied by something educational or entertaining  [15:55]; How Rob consumes podcasts [17:10]; A recent study which evaluated the knowledge gained from listening to podcasts while driving compared to that gained from undistracted listening  [20:40]; The value of silence [24:10]; A functional MRI study which shows that listening to a story-based podcast lights up huge areas of the brain [28:35]; A study in mice which found that 2 hours of silence per day led to neurogenesis whereas background or white noise didn't [29:00]; And more.   For complete and detailed show notes, previous episodes, or to sign up for our newsletter: https://www.stimuluspodcast.com/ If you like what you hear on Stimulus and use Apple/iTunes as your podcatcher, please consider leaving a review of the show.

Show NotesHave you ever wanted to know an answer so bad that you were willing to do literally anything to get the answer? Well our guest today is Josh Rhodes and his question was this: “how do you build wealth?”  As a result of this question he sent out 50 emails to some of the most successful people he knew of and before he knew it he was interviewing these people, recording their conversations, then started a podcast, and now has done over 200 of these interviews for his show. Joshua Rhodes is the founder of Rhodes To Wealth, and the Rhodes To Wealth podcast, a platform set out to provide wealth building advice, tips and strategies from the world’s most successful wealth building experts. As a first-generation college graduate, the idea and thought of how to ‘build wealth’ was not something that Josh was exposed to much while growing up in Houston, Texas. Once out of college, he found himself in an outside sales role in a leading cyber security company, living lean, and building some disposable income. After years of saving his money, he went hunting for advice on what to do next. Rather than ‘blindly’ dumping his money into an asset he’s heard others talk about, he decided to take matters into his own hands - searching for answers in books, articles and from experts. As Josh tore through his wealth building journey, he found that the best way for him to fully grasp wealth building was to invest in himself, and that is how Rhodes To Wealth was born. His goal with the Rhodes To Wealth platform and by talking to wealth building experts is to help non-traditional wealth building Millennials, like himself, who feel they have enough money to invest, but not enough knowledge to do it confidently, find a path that leads them to financial freedom - and hopefully early retirement.  On the show today we discuss the following:Who is Josh Rhodes and what does he do (3:54)Why Josh chose to start a podcast (8:45)What gave Josh the confidence to start on this journey (13:57)What enabled Josh to feel like he deserved the success he was seeing (22:03)What has been the MOST compelling wealth building strategy to Josh (26:03)What has been the LEAST compelling wealth building strategy to Josh (32:44)Beliefs and notions about money that Josh had to dispose of on this journey (36:06)Lessons outside of wealth creation that Josh has learned from his guests (45:40)What does it mean to Josh to be a Contender (49:54)Resources:How to learn more about Josh:Website: RhodestoWealth.comAdditional Books, Individuals, or Items Discuss in the show:Tim FerrisBrian ScudamoreGetting Things Done by David AllenMillionaire Teacher by Andrew HallamGeometry of Wealth by Brian PortneyEric Bergman - Great.comEntrepreneurial You by Dorie ClarkArt of ManlinessIt's A Wonderful LifeConnect with Us:Our Website: www.contenderswanted.comBy Email: rob@contenderswanted.comSubscribe to our newsletter to never miss an episode: contenderswanted.com/subscribe

In this episode we talk all things Empowered People Business Cohort. Why Josh decided to start it, who it benefits from it and how the Cohort sets itself apart from other events. 

The Dream: A Hospitality Business on Wheels Back when they first wanted to start RVing, Josh and Brittain bought and renovated an 88 Airstream. Then they picked up a rare '87 Airstream motorhome to renovate and rent on Airbnb. They dreamed of creating awesome unique glamping experiences for people who want to enjoy the outdoors. "We had the vintage camper, but we didn't have the land," explained Brittain. That's when they connected with a vintage campground in Tuscon to park one of their Airstreams on site. They worked out a 50/50 revenue split and all the fine details and continued traveling in the RV, making their Airstream rental almost completely passive income. Josh and Brittain are very open about numbers, so they share a ton of insights behind how much they paid, earned, and profited as they've built this business. I highly recommend listening to the episode to year all the nitty-gritty details on finances. Now they have four vintage trailers and recently found a new home for their rental business in Montana. What we cover in this episode: The average cost to buy and renovate an Airstream (all-in!) Why Josh and Brittain won't ever renovate another motorhome The ideal rate of return (and how much each rental makes a year) How they found a home for their RV rentals Setting up revenue sharing + covering expenses How responsibilities were divided between Brittain and the host Growing their business debt-free --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rve/message

Self-love and loving yourself is not a light switch. You can't wake up one morning and go, 'I'm going to love myself today!' You can still try and do that if you want but old programs and subconscious thoughts in the universe are going to bring you contrast and challenge that belief at all times. That's why the beliefs that aren't challenged are the beliefs that never change. - Josh Trent   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST* Wellness Force Radio Episode 383 In this episode, Wellness Force Media Founder and Podcast Host, Josh Trent, is being interviewed by Shanna and Nicole of the NoBS Wellness Podcast.

Why feelings are just pointing down to emotion and emotion is really energy in motion that comes from ourselves or the collective unconscious. 129 Gretchen Rubin What the emotional contagion is and why we can catch emotions and feelings from other people but also the collective unconscious.

How to defeat evil by focusing on the good instead of feeding it with constant negative thoughts and emotions. Civilized Caveman M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show Self-Love Is A Choice   "Self-love is a practice and a choice. Self-love is not something that we can just get inspired to do one day. We can get inspired to start it but it's not a quick switch. The one thing that no one is doing is owning their shit. You have to own it and love it just like you love your partner, your parent, or your sibling. What I've discovered after years of work on this and training is that unless I'm truly living in my body and comfortable in it, no other form of love or healing will come to me. I love where I live in my body because it's all that I have; our bodies are all that any of us actually have." - Josh Trent   Breath Will Lead You To Awareness   "The breath is the only thing that we can be in communion with and we can control. There's nothing in this world that we can be in communion with and control like the breath. We can't beat our own heart, we can't digest our own food; we just can't. We can control what thoughts we indulge in and we can control how we breathe - that's it. If we can breathe then we can choose but if we can't choose then we're probably not breathing. If we're not breathing right then we're a slave to our emotions and then we're a slave to the people that dangle the puppeteer strings in our society but the breath will lead us to awareness." - Josh Trent   The Wellness Journey On Your Terms     "The self-love quotient is a daily practice of surrender and awareness. That sounds super-advanced but it's not; actually, it's really simple but again, it's not easy. The reason why daily practice and awareness are so challenging is because life is very complex and complicated. We might have our whole healing modality planned out for three quarters and have everything listed on a paper and how we're going to heal and love ourselves and then your kid throws up on your lap or your son gets in an accident or you lose a job. Anytime I've ever had a monstrosity of challenge, it's the universe forcing me to grow or retract and there's no shame in that either. You make the change to love yourself in a daily practice of surrender and awareness because you're ready; not when I or anyone else says you're ready." - Josh Trent     Links From Today's Show    BREATHE: Breath and Wellness Program Cured Nutrition NoBS Wellness Podcast | Episode 51: Self-Love is A Practice & A Choice 032 Gay Hendricks Alan Watts David R.

When I say, 'Do your inner work,' it's in real life and real-time but it's also taking responsibility for your sovereignty. Have a disciplined breath practice in the morning or maybe have a reflective practice at the end of the day to sit with yourself for ten minutes in stillness and silence to think about it. Ask yourself, 'What could I have done better?', 'Could I have treated people differently?', 'How did I speak to myself today?', and pause so that the likelihood of that playing out in real-time when you’re in a more reactive state is going to be higher. - Stefanos Sifandos   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST* Wellness Force Radio Episode 382 Relational Alchemist, International Speaker and Author, Stefanos Sifandos, returns to explain what all men face on their road to becoming a great man, what happens to our psyche and self-worth if we're focused on comparison, why we go back to old patterns, and how you can be friends with your ego.   What actually is inner work and what does it mean to be a good man?      Join us as Stefanos unpacks the 5 Tactical Virtues for Men: Strength, Courage, Mastery, Honor, and Connectivity.   ORGANIFI: Easy Organic Superfood   Get 20% off of your order with the code WELLNESSFORCE at organifi.com/WELLNESSFORCE   Start the day off right.

Ben Greenfield Boundless by Ben Greenfield Why being present and mindful of your thoughts, actions, and what actually matters to you can bring extraordinary wellness into your life. breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show What Happens When You Give Your Power Away   “We need to do our inner work and it leads back to the 5 Tactical Virtues - Strength, Courage, Mastery, Honor, and Connectivity so that we can achieve sovereign empowerment. We need to take responsibility for ourselves because the moment we say it’s someone else’s responsibility or we blame someone for something like not feeling a particular way or experiencing life in the way that we want to experience life, we disempower ourselves and we give our power away. That does either one of two things; we either retract from the world or we lash out in the world." - Stefanos Sifandos   Navigating The Shadow Way   "The shadow way is about intimacy and relationships. It’s about how you give and receive love. It’s about whether you’re allowing people in and surrendering to that or you are too scared of love because you’re afraid of loss." - Stefanos Sifandos   Do Something That Scares You Every Day     "Do something that scares you every day and I'm not suggesting you go put your life at risk but at what point do you draw the line? We're all going to have to move through different fears and thresholds; some of which are higher than others. I call it the elastic band effect. Your elastic band or tolerance might be longer or shorter in some areas compared to how it is for other people but eventually it will snap. So you want to bring yourself to the place right before it snaps because that's your edge and then peak over. If you have a deep fear of physical contact, for example, that's a great opportunity for you to look into that and what it actually means." - Stefanos Sifandos     Links From Today's Show    The Conscious Warrior Reclaim Your Kingdom Chaos To Clarity Be The Queen Energy Healing Program Conscious Mentorship with Stefanos Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Stefanos Sifandos Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube TikTok LinkedIn Pinterest   About Stefanos Sifandos Stefanos Sifandos has been immersed in deep men’s empowerment work and the exploration of intimate and sacred relationships.

Choosing a Creator Consciousness allows you to begin to see how our society is so built around a consumer society; we have just been conditioned for this behavior. Whether it's pharmaceutical drugs for any problem that you have in your body; we're conditioned to not listen to our bodies and just take these pills. Drugs, alcohol; you name it.

Why the inner work process is actually really simple as you dive into where you are feeling stuck, noticing where that shows up in your body, and then becoming curious about it.

The fact that people with brilliant marketing for their wellness and health services have not actually done the work themselves. What you should look for when seeking out someone for emotional intelligence and spiritual development. Who Charles himself looks for when seeking a new coach to help guide him.

What he realized about himself and his father as he helped him live for another two years. The process of giving full permission to let go as his father laid on his deathbed. Why he was called in the past to plant medicine and DMT to experience life outside of the human body. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho What is revealed to us when we witness life and death. How to let go of intellectualizing life and just being present with it. Why it's courageous to step up and ask for help right now if you need it because we're not meant to do it alone. What we can do to create heaven on earth according to Charles: Everything moving forward has to be built on a foundation of what's in the greater good of all living beings including us and Mother Earth; otherwise it will crumble. breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Power Quotes From The Show   A Path For The Golden Age "The whole collective right now with everything that's going on in the world, all this so-called chaos, is all happening for us and you can choose; are you going to keep consuming the fear which is the information that you choose to give your energy and attention? Notice how that feels in your body. I really commend everybody that's showing up and having the courage to dive into some of these emotions and learn what they can from this inner journey right now because that is actually helping heal the collective and amazing things are going to come from this. The whole world right now is on a path for the Golden Age and in order for that transformation to occur, it's going to be uncomfortable at times and we're all experiencing that in our own way." - Charles Clay   Are Mindset Hacks Overrated? "Think about where your attention is going on a daily basis. Are they really going towards what you want to create; this list of ideas and things that you want to bring to the world before you die? How much energy and time are you giving those? How much time are you spending tuning in to allow more of those to flow in? When we come back to that natural state of inner peace, then we're in a receptive mode where we can receive those dreams, inspiration, and amazing ideas from Mother Gaia. Operating from that place is different from having to use a million mindset hacks to motivate yourself to get your butt off the couch and actually do something. Either way will get you there, I just prefer the inspired action approach simply because the quality of energy that I'm creating with is so much more exciting and fun." - Charles Clay     Intuition Is Medicine   "I always tune into my intuition; it's our own medicine that we are all gifted with. Sometimes it's harder to listen to it than others but with your intuition, you can navigate and notice what comes up on your radar. What you want help with, what you are sick of, and what aspect of your life you're ready to change. Then notice as those answers start showing up like puzzle pieces that start filling in. Next, really tune into the intelligence within your body and what feels intuitively expansive and going to help you on your path or is more constrictive and doesn't feel aligned. Really paying attention to those cues from your body can help steer you to the right guides, coaches, and direction on your journey." - Charles Clay     Links From Today's Show  The Laser Focus Method 263 Charles Clay M Powered Men’s Group Training and Mastermind CURED Nutrition Caroline Myss 368 Bobbi Vogel Marci Lock The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho How Death Opens the Masculine Heart Neurokinetic Therapy Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Charles Clay Facebook Instagram    About Charles Clay Charles Clay is a Men’s Empowerment Coach, Dynamic Speaker, Published Author and Founder of  M Powered Men’s Group Training and Mastermind.

"Soulmates are a problematic concept. You have to lower your expectations a little bit because society has given us all these expectations of what the perfect partner is like which are impossible for anyone to meet. It's better to find someone that you can both grow into soulmates over time and look at them from that perspective. Search for someone that you can finally be yourself around without any fear, retribution, or shame. Someone who celebrates who you are is going to want to be with you and you're going to want to be with them." - Roger Nygard Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST* Wellness Force Radio Episode 374 Film director and producer of several productions including the documentary, The Truth About Marriage, Roger Nygard, shares what makes relationships work, how to increase your chances of finding a soulmate, why polyamory is sacred for some couples, how and when to have difficult conversations plus the concept of The Gottman Institute's Four Horsemen and ultimate relationship deal-breakers.   What makes us happy in relationships?

The #1 relationship advice you should be following in 2020: Ban criticism and don't focus on "fixing" your relationship until we get back to normal because we're not seeing things in a normal way while in lockdown. breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community     Power Quotes From The Show   The No. 1 Relationship Deal -Breaker "The Gottmans are able to predict with 90% accuracy whether or not couples will stay together and how happy they will be just after watching them for five minutes based primarily on one thing they're looking for: the existence of contempt from either partner because that shows that you're not a team. Contempt is such a deal-breaker because if your partner doesn't value you or your opinion then you don't feel like you or the relationship are valued. You start to feel like an object or that the relationship is transactional; you're not in it together. It's the togetherness that leads couples to last and seeing themselves as a unit or a duo." - Roger Nygard    Why Are You Really In This Relationship? "You need to get out of the contempt rut and be actively participating in the relationship in a positive way and valuing what your partner has to say or offer. If you don't value that person, why are you partners with them? That's the existential question of relationships. What are you getting out of the deal? A lot of people are together transactionally; they're in it for other reasons than for valuing each other as a human: money, resources, staying alive. That's what most of human history was. This idea of getting married for love is only 160 years old." - Roger Nygard      Why Do Religious Couples Actually Last?   "One of the things that all experts agree on is that if you're someone who is thinking of getting married right now, the best thing you can do to increase your chances for longevity and happiness in a relationship is premarital counseling to enter the relationship with a better understanding of the rules of the game. Most people don't do this and experts have found that religious couples tend to do better than non-religious couples in marriage. It's not because they're religious; it's because they're forced to do premarital counseling by their religion so they get a better understanding of each other. Do you know everything about your partner? You'll never know everything but you should know some basic things especially the core values that you both hold." - Roger Nygard      Links From Today's Show  The Truth About Marriage Film The Truth about Marriage: All the Relationship Secrets Nobody Tells You by Roger Nygard The Nature Of Existence Julia Sweeney Drs.

“We are not supposed to be sick, weak, tired and fragile at the ages of 40, 50 and 60. We need to stop giving consent to aging and disease.” -  Josh Macin, The Detox Dudes Josh was on his way to becoming a world class master in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. In 2010 he won the World Championships as a white belt. In 2012 he won the Pan American Championship as a blue belt. He went on to win the Abu Dhabi trials as a purple belt. When all of a sudden, within a period of 10 days, he went from elite athlete to suffering severe panic attacks, crippling depression and suicidal thoughts…seemingly out of nowhere. For the next 4 years, Josh lived in a chronic state of fear, physical torture and mental anguish as he desperately sought…unsuccessfully…the source of his suffering.  Josh was days away from taking his own life – which he’d planned to do via starvation by walking off alone in the Amazon jungle – when he experienced a divine intervention. He read the unassuming story of a woman who’d healed similar suffering by doing a heavy metals detox after learning she had mercury poisoning.  Turns out, Josh too had mercury poisoning. And finding the root of his problem was the difference between life and death. Fortunately, most of us will never have to endure the trauma and extreme suffering that Josh went through. But many of us know what it’s like to deal with low energy, indigestion, excess gas, fatigue after meals, interrupted sleep, body aches and brain fog.  Many of these life conditions that we’ve simply accepted – or as Josh calls, giving consent to – should not be a part of our normal operating existence.   We deserve to feel good. To feel great, actually. Not just some of the time…but most of the time.  One potential way to achieve that state of well-being, is through detox.  In Today’s Episode: You’ll hear about Josh’s story of how we can spend weeks, months and even years suffering from an affliction whose source we can’t pinpoint How our life’s wounds – both physical and emotional – that go unhealed, make us magnets for illness Why Josh says “tap water is out of the question” and you need to buy a water distiller right now (which I did) What experiences that you may be having that make you a prime candidate for a detox What benefits you can expect from a detox How you can achieve virtual fart free living  Stick around for the last 15 minutes because Josh gives you 3 potential first steps you can take to get on the detox journey Who is Josh Macin? He runs The Detox Dudes His YouTube channel has over 33,000 subscribers and his videos have been viewed over 2.3 million times “How to clear your sinuses naturally.” “How to heal leaky gut.” “How to recover from ejaculation.” “Watch me do a perfect coffee enema.” He works with two types of people: High performers and CEOs looking for an edge and 2) those who are suffering from a chronic illness that has no easily identifiable source   RESOURCES Josh’s website and articles: www.TheDetoxDudes.com Josh’s Masterclass: www.DetoxDudes.com Josh’s YouTube Channel: The Detox Dudes The 5 Day Detox: Click Here Josh’s 3 Suggestions for Newbie Detox-ers:  #1.

For episode 300, I am sharing the 10 biggest lessons I have learned thus far on this journey. I want to share my truth: This entrepreneurial and podcast path has not been 100% rainbows. Even since early childhood, I have known, deep down, that I march to the beat of a different drummer. Maybe you feel that too, and that’s why you’re here. I’ve faced inner and outer demons I wouldn’t wish on anyone, and since I woke up in 2014, I’ve done some really, really, hard work to let go of old stories about genetics, beliefs, and the people and things that don't serve my wellness. But yet as hard as this has been, I’ve also learned that when you operate from a place of love and service to others, and if you really want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it. This podcast has been my home, my work, and my life for 4 years now, and today, I get to give thanks to YOU.    Top Lessons Learned From 300+ Shows 1.

Until I see you again real soon, I’m wishing you love and wellness.  - Josh Trent     Power Quotes From The Show   Just The Joy Of The Conversation Is A Gift "I had no idea that my life would be this rewarding and this challenging. I say I have both because if you look at any relationship, whether it's with friends or a significant other, it's when we go through the challenges of travel and connection and schedules and work to actually get the podcast out there or even just going to a new town and meeting new people, there's always going to be a bitter before there's the sweet. So, the sweet is getting to be able to text Dr. Jade Teta or email Dave Asprey or connect with some of these people that I had idolized when I was a personal trainer but I've only done that because I did the work brick by brick, day by day, year by year to let these people know that when it was time for us to have a conversation, that I really cared and that I was really adamant about letting them know how much I respect them and whether or not I get anything from them besides a conversation, just the joy of the conversation was the gift. That is a great way to build friendships."  - Josh Trent   Healing Ourselves Every Day "If I'm always in the process of being my best self then I'm always in the process of being healed, cured, or evolving into whatever the new version of me has let go of. In other words, did I let go of stress, physical trauma, emotional trauma? Every single day, what am I being cured from? What am I stepping towards? That's the whole point of this life. If we don't constantly look at how we can heal and cure the spiritual malady that we have as a society; as a human race, then we're not going to make it. I believe in humanity; I believe we're going to make it but only if we look at this life through the healing and cured lense." - Josh Trent     Doing The Work Together "When I think about the evolution of my healing, it comes through this podcast, and it's what I want people to feel from me every episode. Not only am I doing this work but we're also doing this work together so that when we're out of the spaces of doing the work, we can actually show up and live our life well. We can actually show up and have loving relationships and full joy and full expression and full connection with our friends and partners." - Josh Trent Links From Today's Show Civilized Caveman The Cured Collective Podcast The Tim Ferriss Show CURED Nutrition Joe Sheehey, CURED Nutrition Founder Paleo f(x) Oura Ring FitTech Summit Collective Podcast with Joseph Sheehey WFR 071 Melissa Hartwig The Whole 30 WFR 275 Paul Chek 23andMe WFR 214 Mansal Denton Nootropedia WFR 214 Jesse Lawler Smart Drugs Smarts Podcast Neurohacker Collective WFR 096 Daniel Schmachtenberger WFR 250 Dave Asprey WFR 293 Dr. Jade Teta Onnit WFR 196 Aubrey Marcus WFR 219 Kyle Kingsbury WFR 285 Luke Storey Rythmia WFR 269 Live From Rythmia: Gerry Powell & Jay Brown Carl Jung The Shadow Archetype - Carl Jung  Jordan Peterson Biologic Effects of Stress and Bonding in Mother-Infant Pairs Living 4D with Paul Chek: Making A Love Connection - A Conversation With Josh Trent Living 4D with Paul Chek: The Revolution Is Coming: My Conversation With Josh Trent Connor Beaton of ManTalks M21 Breathwork.io Letting Go by David R.

Following the tragic shootings in El Paso and Dayton last weekend, America's political and media establishments went all-in on debating gun violence. Could this time finally be different? Unfortunately, no. For those who hoped we would get effective policy changes enacted, the debate is (as always) devoid of facts and rife with emotional manipulation on both sides. Why? Josh sees the banality of the debate is driven by election realities and one little bit of budget language. Should we add gun control laws in America? Maybe, but first let's get our facts straight.

Josh Team, President at Keller Williams Realty talks to the Lab Coat Agents Podcast hosts Tristan Ahumada and Nick Baldwin about the future of real estate. Josh discusses the impact that disruptors like Open Door, Zillow, and Realtor.com are having on the industry, how brokerages like Keller Williams are using technology to assist agents with responding to this shift, and ways the industry can work for everyone involved. Episode Highlights: How Josh Team sees the world of real estate changing for agents The impact of discount brokerages on the real estate market The potential impact on commissions with this market shift Why brokerages are focused on leveraging technology for their agents How agents can think outside of the box to compete with companies like Zillow On-demand information works in other industries, like pizza delivery and streaming services, and can be applied to real estate Are agents buying leads or are they buying transactions? How localized real estate marketing can benefit agents Why Josh thinks agents push so hard on promoting a brokerage brand When the Real Estate industry continues to share and push each other to higher standards, then agents and consumers, across the board, can benefit Josh Team discusses Keller Williams, iBuyer program 3 Key Points: How many people want to buy and sell homes, and how the economy is doing, have more impact on the demand in the industry than technology. The key to adjusting to every business shift is identifying ways to maintain or improve overall profitability. Take the superpower of the agent, and marry that with a curated one-to-one technology experience, and the industry wins.

Your opportunity to make it big with your creative endeavors is no longer something others are in control of. You can influence your own success tremendously – primarily through doing great work and networking at the same time. Josh Muccio is a great example of a person who did make it big by being picked up by a big company in his industry, but it s not because they gave him permission – it s because they noticed the great work he was already doing. Dane invited Josh on the show a second time because his story illustrates how creatives can open the door to their own opportunities. It s a lesson we all need to learn and Josh shares a wealth of insight for those who are ready to hear it and take action. Before you reach out to the star makers in your niche, do great work Back in season two of Converge, Dane took a shot in the dark and predicted that Josh s podcast The Pitch would be picked up by a big podcasting company like Gimlet and it was. Dane wanted to hear the story of how that happened, so he invited Josh back for this conversation. The way the story unfolds is not what you might expect. Nobody came knocking on Josh s door. Nobody sent a talent scout to find the next big podcast hit and suddenly discovered him. Josh kept producing his independent podcast to a high standard, found people to help him, and reached out to people in the podcasting space who he wanted to meet. Things happened because he did great work and took action. You can hear Josh explain how it happened – how he facilitated his own opportunity, on this episode. People are your biggest resource, but they are not a commodity to be used Even if you are a solopreneur or solo founder, people are the best resource you have. Josh Muccio realized that early on in his podcasting journey, so he started reaching out to influential people in his space WHILE he continued to do great work. He wasn t looking for a handout or to be discovered, he was making his own opportunity. That is exactly how creatives in the digital age have to approach success: Do good work, make your opportunity. Jay shares why he sends cold emails to people he wants to meet every day, how he crafts those emails to be personal and appealing, and why he thinks it s an important discipline that will work for anyone seeking to build good relationships with others in their space. If you can t create a brain-trust, at least get some smart friends alongside One of the greatest benefits of becoming a part of the Gimlet media family is that a team of audio and storytelling professionals are available to help Josh make his already-great show even better. He refers to them as a brain-trust: experts who are able to look at his work, give feedback, and refine it to greater effect. Dane asked Josh if he thinks it s possible for the average, independent artist to form their own brain-trust. While he s not sure independents can pull together a team with the same level of expertise he’s blessed with at Gimlet, he s confident that having other trusted, smart individuals look at your work and give honest feedback is always going to make it better. There is always another opportunity to shoot for. Keep reaching Near the end of this conversation, Dane asked Josh to share his perspective for those at the beginning of their creative journey now that he s at the top of his industry. His podcast is a staple on the Gimlet media lineup, continues to get great reviews and is growing its listener base monthly. What advice does he have now that he s made it. Interestingly enough, Josh points out that even those he works for at Gimlet don t feel they ve made it. There s always another level to reach for, always another way to grow and become better at what you do. His advice: Your opportunity to become the best is always before you. Be aware that success doesn t change the need to do your best work, no matter what level of success you ve already attained. Outline of this great episode [0:22] Why Dane is featuring a guest for the second time: Josh Muccio [5:30] How Josh got connected with the folks at Gimlet media [12:20] Why Josh sends cold emails to people he wants to know (and how he does it) [17:14] Podcasting?

[21:28] What Josh did to educate himself so he could do what he was doing better [24:38] How life is different today that pre-Gimlet partnership [30:02] Could the average person put together their own creative brain-trust?

Today's guest joining us on the Join Up Dots podcast business interview is a man who is thriving in the online world by getting business's to ask the right questions. Originally from a small rural town in central California he started his first business installing lawns on people's yards at the age of 16. He eventually started tinkering with and selling computers, and made his way down to Los Angeles to attend college at UCLA. It was then that he began taking on consulting gigs building websites for small local businesses with a few of his friends. After getting a request from one of these consulting clients to have a quiz built for his website, he had a bit of a lightbulb moment.  He is a co-founder of Interact Quiz Builder. Along with his friends he spent a few weeks building this first quiz, and after that started to talk to other business owners about whether or not they'd use quizzes in their marketing efforts. This year alone, it looks like the sacrifices required to build a business are paying off, as they have seen a 300% jump in growth and are anticipating 500% by the end of the year. Great stuff, so are there certain quizzes that convert like gangbusters or do all types do the magic? And why does he think that this works so well, in regards to lead captures unlike a normal tired old magnet? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show, to joining up dots with the one and only Mr. Josh Haynam Show Highlights Josh shares how he has developed a belief system that means he walks his own path in life. Strong will and firm mindset all the way. Why the position of grand leaders in business are not sought out by the individuals themselves, but more often than not are placed there by the followers. Why so many business's struggle with the lack of income coming into the business. This is a phase that hinders growth for most and can often be the killer. And lastly…….. Why Josh believes his mindset changed forever by attending college. It wasn't the course material but the students he studied with that made a huge change.

What is the quickest route to financial freedom through real estate? Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Go directly to… Multifamily. But how do you overcome a lack of experience and capital to accelerate the timeline and jump straight into apartment building investing? Josh Eitingon is the founder and manager of JAE Property Group, a real estate investment company specializing in 50- to 150-unit value-add multifamily properties outside the New York metro area. With the guidance of a coach, Josh made his first multifamily investment in 2012, and now he is up to eight deals. He began his real estate career while working as a software developer, eventually joining a Long Island investment group where he led the acquisitions team in securing $100M in real estate. Today, Josh is a full-time investor in his own right. Josh joins me to discuss the early investment in a coach that facilitated his shortcut to multifamily. He addresses how he overcame a lack of experience to do his first 20-unit deal and the personal guarantee he made investors to raise $200K for the renovation.

‘Don't worry about everything you don't know today.' Josh Sterling's advice for aspiring real estate investors? Jump in head first and take massive action. In fact, if Josh could go back and offer some advice to his 17-year-old self, he would recommend skipping college and getting on the fast track to multifamily as soon as possible! But Josh didn't know that then, and he pursued a degree in aeronautical science from Embry-Riddle University. He got a job as a commercial airline pilot and had worked his way up to captain when the recession hit, and his hard work was rewarded with a demotion and a pay cut. Josh decided then and there that he needed a side hustle that he could control, and he landed on real estate. Josh was eventually able to quit his job and pursue real estate full-time, growing his portfolio to a cool 250 units. Josh has also grown his business, building out his own property management team. Today he walks us through his first deals in the single-family space, discussing the challenges of managing 25 properties and how that struggle inspired his shift to multifamily. Josh offers his insight around building relationships with a few good brokers, describing how he has scaled to 250 units with the help of just two realtors. He explains his approach to multifamily syndication, sharing how multifamily allowed him to quit his job, go to work on his own terms, and have lunch with his 18-month old daughter any time he wants. Listen in for Josh's advice about establishing credibility—with or without a track record—and getting on the fast track to multifamily. Key Takeaways What inspired Josh to pursue real estate Working as airline pilot Demotion with pay cut in 2008 Looking for something could control Josh's first deal in September 2009 $40K single-family in southeast Michigan Buy and hold strategy Why Josh made the shift to multi-family Owned 25 single-family rentals by 2012 Needed help with management Multifamily necessary to scale business Josh's first multifamily deal Colleague introduced to commercial broker Approached with 24-unit off-market deal Couldn't get numbers to work, deal fell apart Seller reached out twelve months later Bought under land contract for $515K at 6% Upgraded units, occupancy rose from 42% to 100% Cash out refi after 14 months (valuation at $800K) Josh's next multifamily deal Same broker approached with 53-unit deal Used capital from refi of 24-unit property Josh's approach to raising money Share enthusiasm for real estate with family, friends Leverage portfolio for credibility Josh's first experience with syndication $1.3M building under contract Needed to raise $300K to close Put out sample deal package Fully subscribed in 24 hours How quitting his day job changed Josh's life Left in May of 2016 (owned 140 units) Work on own terms to grow business Aggressively looking for deals Fly to play golf, see concerts What Josh would tell his 17-year-old self Skip college, buying first home Pursue multifamily right away View regular job as means to end How to fast track a career as a real estate investor Get educated quickly Build relationships with brokers Don't worry about bank financing Demonstrate credibility to raise equity What Josh is excited about right now Building own property management team Building self out of day-to-day operations Focus on networking, maintaining broker relationships Josh's advice for aspiring real estate investors Take massive action Build reputation, relationships Connect with Josh Email: josh@epicpropertymanagement.com Epic Property Management Resources LoopNet Freddie Mac Small Balance Loan Entrepreneurs' Organization Michael's Coaching Programs Free eBook: The Secret to Raising Money to Buy Your First Apartment Building Review the Podcast on iTunes

For episode 56, where learning and growing from the CTO of FitMetrix, Josh Lloyd about using technology for the member to win. This is something that we explore quite a bit on the show, but this is a deeper discussion where we are learning from Josh about the strategy and tools that will connect the sometimes disparate technology silos inside and outside the club to help bring them back together. In this podcast we're talking about not only how to use technology to enhance and uplevel the customer experience but also how to incentivize healthy living through data points collected via gamification and that relationship to smart push notifications sent to members. FitMetrix was founded in 2013 to solve a need around group training but has now evolved to a more robust platform that does much more by bringing in best practices from outside the fitness industry: FitMetrix has significant technical experience and believes customer service is the most critical path to success. With technology racing ahead faster than ever before what are the smart data sets that club owners and operators can piece together in a tracking solution designed to increase member retention while giving clients better results?  The answer to that question and much more takeaways for club owners, operators, and fitness pros in this episode with  Josh Lloyd. About Josh Lloyd Josh Lloyd is the co-founder and CTO of FitMetrix, which provides state of the art technology to gyms and health clubs to give members the ability to schedule, train and receive real-time tracking of effort and performance through a facility’s website or customizable app. FitMetrix has partnered with hundreds of gyms across the nation, including Life Time Fitness, Gold’s Gym, Cycle Bar, Cooper Institute, US Fitness and more. Prior to co-founding FitMetrix, Josh was the co-founder and visionary of ShopVisible LLC, which provided business owners with smart technology that combined solutions for customer service, back office, inventory, marketing, accounting and IT into one SEO friendly tool. Due to the success of ShopVisible, Josh was ranked as one of Atlanta Business Leaders’ Top 25 Entrepreneurs in Atlanta in 2012. Prior to ShopVisible, Josh was the Director of Research and Development for CareMedic Systems Inc., as well as Omega Systems Inc. Josh has a bachelor’s degree in business from Florida Atlantic University and has 20 years of experience in professional software development. Listen To Episode 056 As Josh Uncovers Why Josh left the automotive industry to retail and now fitness How key data from treadmills, ellipticals, rowers, and other cardio pieces can be used to tailor the member experience by tying them into a deeply functional tracking solution Why getting the information from the members exercise sessions while in the club is a powerful proactive fitness facilities How to use leaderboards to drive member journey in class settings How to use smart activity data that ties into the long tail of a member's journey How proactive fitness facilities and health clubs are creating an ecosystem that contains brand evangelists  How a brand can bring value to a member even when they aren't in the 4 walls of the club  The role of wearables and insurance companies in big health data and how facilities can explore a win-win Why Josh believes that this is the most exciting time to be in the fitness industry Understanding "Emotional Resistance" – why people do things to sabotage their success in reaching fitness goals Why FitMetrix partnered with Perkville to engage more members in 2018 Actionable steps for club owners, operators, and fitness professionals around technology and members  Top 3 Takeaways From The Show The merging of the inside club data and outside club data is more important in 2018 than before. Josh believes that smart aggregate data from treadmills, ellipticals, rowers, and other cardio pieces can be used to tailor the member experience by tying them into a deeply functional tracking solution. By getting the information from the member's exercise sessions while in the club, proactive fitness facilities can now reach more of an emotional context for motivation by delivering detailed and actionable incentives to members. Josh speaks to the power of using leaderboards to drive more members to a successful health journey. At the end of the day when the technology is not there, you're self-regulating. When a member's stats are up on a leaderboard at the same time of the people next to them, they are going to push themselves harder, and everyone's going to push themselves harder, which creates a more dynamic class experience that they'll tell their friends about. When we view the power of wearables and creating a true ecosystem that is built for the member to win, clubs that partner with insurance companies and medical fitness organizations will now start to rise above their competitors as we look towards 2018 with more tools, technology, and the need for programs that reward people at their deepest needs. Power Quotes From Josh Lloyd "What we must ask as an industry is what can we be doing outside of just booking a class, outside of what is just happening in the studio, but also what are the other opportunities we can use to engage with the member?"  - Josh Lloyd on the Fitness + Technology Podcast "At the end of the day when the technology is not there, you're self-regulating. When you're up on a leaderboard at the same time of the people next you, you're going to push yourself harder, everyone's going to push themselves harder." - Josh Lloyd on the Fitness + Technology Podcast Resources Mentioned From Josh Josh Lloyd on LinkedIn Become a Member of FIT-C FitMetrix on the web FitMetrix on Twitter Fitmetrix on facebook Fitmetrix partners ABC Financial Club Ready Emotional Resistance – why people do things to sabotage their success in reaching fitness goals Outside Online - The Surprising Ways Your Fitness Data Is Really Being Used 054 Sunil Saha: Fitness Loyalty Programs For Revenue & Engagement 042 Josh Cherry: The Future of Fitness Gamification 049 Michael Wood: Fitness Devices, Data, & Ecosystems Josh Lloyd - Developing The Future Of Fitness 053 Nir Eyal: Consumer Behavior & Creating Habit Forming Products John Hancock Wearables Program - Vitality Points Thanks To Our Outstanding Sponsors Bryan O’Rourke and his family of companies including Vedere Ventures, Integerus Advisors, and many more.

For episode 42, we tap into the roots of what technology is making an impact on the floor of one of the fastest growing studios in our space, Delta Life Fitness with CEO, Josh Cherry.  In our previous episodes around fitness studios and making fitness fun through tech and gamification with Lindsey Rainwater and Shannon Fable we've talked about what various cloud-based solutions and tactical approaches are important to create an enhanced user experience, but on today's podcast we take an even deeper dive into what is driving the growth of this up-and-coming franchise that is utilizing data sets for an outside the box gamification fitness experience for the growing niche of female-focused training. You'll learn from Josh Cherry on this episode how Delta Life Fitness uses a digital leaderboard in the lobby to harness the social contagion factor for their female members to engage inside the four walls and create the emotional hook to make better choices in the other 23 hours of their day. You'll also learn some of the biggest lessons that Josh experienced firsthand in growing Delta Life Fitness from a hot asphalt parking lot to just a few years later having multiple successful facilities nationwide, what are the three pillars of gamification success for all studios to deploy, how the utilization of private Facebook groups is shifting customer expectations when it comes to real human connection, and why Josh believes that a digital assessment for posture and client intake is pivotal to convert a new member into a lifelong customer. With all the technology solutions out there that claim to "gamify" the fitness studio experience, what are the most powerful actions that leading-edge facilities are taking through technology?  The answer to that question and much more takeaways for club owners, operators, and fitness pros in this episode with Josh Cherry. About Josh Cherry Josh Cherry is the Director of Franchising and CEO and Co-founder at Delta Life Fitness: a women’s only group training workout segmented into intervals of cardiovascular and strength training. By incorporating the science of the female metabolism, Delta Life’s training is specifically designed to maintain a target zone that stimulates metabolism and increases energy.  Josh spent almost 14 years in the Marine corps before helping co-found this female-focused boutique studio and graduated from Texas A&M university.  Led by skilled trainers, participants use a variety of equipment including TRX suspension training, free weights, and battle ropes, burning up to 900 calories including after-burn. The results are more energy, visible toning, weight loss and extra calorie burn post-workout. Women throughout the United States are seeing the changes, both physically and mentally. As Delta Life Fitness grows, they continue to look for franchisees to assist with their expansion.  Listen To Episode 041 As Josh Uncovers Why Josh believes that most colleges prepare Club Owners to be "perfection-minded" that hurts them Understanding the real definition of "gamification" in the fitness industry How to use data sets to make female fitness a truly enhanced experience Why having gamification data through automated technology (zero touch from the clients) can up engagement Understanding the key pillars of gamification that prove member success at Delta Life Fitness: Steps (lifestyle) Water (lifestyle) Sleep (lifestyle) Heart Rate (training specific)    How habit tracking will yield not only the optimal results for weight loss, but also when used in a virtual coaching program, will give more revenue opportunities to fitness professionals and clubs How a private Facebook group can radically transform the engagement in a group fitness environment Why Josh believes that having a digital assessment for posture and client intake is pivotal to convert a new member to a lifelong customer What is the mindset of a fitness studio owner when looking at new technology solutions  How the use of a leaderboard in the lobby of a studio can tap into social contagion Understanding the personality types of our female focused exercisers: what do they want and why What it really takes to maintain long-term success using technology as a fitness studio owner What all fitness professional get to pay attention to for fitness technology in 2018  Top 3 Takeaways From The Show Josh reminds operators and fitness professionals that when it comes to choosing technology to gamify your facility's experience, in order to transcend overwhelm you must keep it simple: know what makes you different, and find one or two really great things that allows you to gamify the process for your niche clientele. Accept that it may not work perfectly the first time and that you may have to revamp a few times to learn what works best. It's not just about people and is not just about technology, you get to accept that it will take time to find the balance between the two. When it comes to the moving the needle of profit through gamification, knowing exactly the type of member you are serving and exactly how you want to serve them is paramount. Josh believes whether you use technology or not, the gamification model has to be driven from specificity to succeed.. As the technology around fitness and medical services continue to grow, Josh speaks his truth that the days of trainers and doctors only working face-to-face with clients are about to be a thing of the past. Gamification is one of the necessary components of a bigger ecosystem that will provide apps for a mobile experience that is 100% seamless and based on the data of biometrics. This will allow the professionals to monitor us, the end-users, without us frenetically monitoring ourselves. In the same regard of enhanced medical and fitness service delivery models we also know that the intention of saving people time, money, and delivering better health through new technology will always be more powerful than just the technology itself.  Power Quotes From Josh "College almost prepares us to be perfection minded, whereas in the Marine Corps, we have to get the job done today with what we have. A good plan executed violently today is better than a perfect plan executed two weeks from now."  - Josh Cherry on the Fitness + Technology Podcast "Successful fitness gamification has to be twofold, both inside the four walls of the club and in what's going on the other 23 hours that you're not in the gym." - Josh Cherry on the Fitness + Technology Podcast "We've decided that at Delta LIfe Fitness we do not serve the 8 to 80 men, women, and children. We know exactly who we serve and we spend all of our time trying to identify the needs of our clients and building a program specifically designed to maximize the metabolism of our Delta Life Fitness ladies. We don't want to train everyone, we're building one training program for one specific person and by doing that we can really serve that one person well."  - Josh Cherry on the Fitness + Technology Podcast Resources Mentioned From Josh Josh Cherry on LinkedIn Delta Life Fitness on the web Delta Life on Facebook Delta Life Fitness on Twitter Nudge Coach Go-Giver Book Nutrino App Delta Life Fitness: the "Go To" Gym for Women Looking to Tone Up and Get in Shape NPE: A Marine Corps pilot and a draftsman grow from park bootcamps with 5 people to a MILLION DOLLAR business with 850 clientsprocess and fitness FTP Episode # 018 w/ Nudge Coach Co-Fouder, Mac Gambill CBI Magazine: Delat Life Fitness  Delta Life Fitness on YouTube MYZONE InBody Assessment Tools Gretchen Rubin: Social Contagion  Bobby Cappuccio: Fitness + Technology Podcast Episode 027 Thanks To Our Outstanding Sponsors Bryan O’Rourke and his family of companies including Vedere Ventures, Integerus Advisors, and many more.

Then he joined the United States Army as a 13F, Forward Observer. He talks about his job going anywhere on the front line, where infantry goes or beyond into or behind enemy lines and call for air support or artillery. Josh quickly made the rank of E-8, First Sergeant, in just ten years. This means he was selected by the Department of Army, part of Congress, two times for excellent service and dedication to duty. As he tells me, normally, soldiers don’t make this rank until closer to twenty years. To make this rank in just ten years put Josh in the very top one percent of performers. On top of this, Josh deployed for a total of over three years to combat. Iraq 2002-2003, 2006-2007, and 2009-2010.

Then Josh talks about what he learned and experienced during this time and how it will forever be a part of what motivates him to continue to grow and be a better man. The brotherhood within the Army, of those whom you deploy to war with, is unexplainable and unforgettable, he says. Josh has found the deepest fulfillment in the success and happiness of his children. Growing up without a father has motivated him to be the best father within his personal abilities. Although, he don’t currently live with some of his children, he puts forth his greatest efforts to maintain a strong relationship with them and to be the foundation they need in their lives. He talks about how he also learned through time away, that it is never the quantity of time you spend with someone but it is the consistency of how you spend time, and the quality of time, you spend with them that will forever touch their hearts and minds. Nothing makes Josh smile the same as seeing the smiles of all five children. A proud father of them all for their will to succeed, excellent grades in school, and most of all their loving and respectful personalities.

The journey of losing weight is not easy. Anyone who has tried to lose weight in the past knows that all too well, but our guest today not only shares his struggles with using food as comfort to process his emotions, but how he finally broke free of using food as a form of self medication. Josh Trent, of Wellness Force Radio has fantastic advice for us all on how to grow to love our bodies from a place of abundance and trust, rather than a place of anger (like so many of us do). Every human being goes through stages, and although therapy has been shunned in the past, Josh has some great insights on why it is so important, and can help us upgrade our old software to deal with our issues once and for all/. Josh talks about having a why, the reason you are willing to put in all the hours for your training, and that why should be bigger than you. Having a why that makes you cry will give you energy to pull from when life stacks roadblocks in front of you. We only have control over our experiences, and we need to make sure that our behaviors are in alignment with our goals. Josh challenges us all to set a new fear PR, something that is terrifying, but will help us to feel more alive than ever before.

If you have the chance to spend any amount of time in the Austin, TX business community you’re going to hear the name, Josh Baer. There’s no doubt about it. That’s because Josh has made it a goal to not only BE integrally connected to what’s going on in the Austin business community, he’s also made it his aim to be one of the primary connectors of that community. That means Josh works hard at meeting people, connecting them to each other, and adding the right kind of value to those he comes into contact with. This recorded conversation reveals why Josh sees building relationships in the business community as a vital part of what he does and uncovers some of the practical ways he goes about doing that. I’d love for you to meet and learn from Josh, so be sure you listen. Why building relationships in the business community matters. No matter where you live or what sort of business you are in there are others who live there who are into the same kinds of things. Maybe they don’t do exactly what you do but they do something that is at least connected in some way. Can you see how getting connected with those people will do nothing but help you and them? That’s one of the foundational beliefs that a guy like Josh Baer has. It’s what motivates him to eagerly reach out to new entrepreneurs in his community (Austin, TX) and it’s those business connections that have made him a valuable asset to so many. In this conversation Josh shares how he’s become the go-to guy for business relationships in the Austin area and gives some tips for how you can do the same thing. How building community can foster strategic business relationships. One of the most powerful things Josh Baer has done to foster community among entrepreneurs and founders in the Austin, TX community is to create both the space and the opportunity for those people to meet, network, share their experiences, and open the doors to possible joint venture and partnership possibilities. He’s done that through intentionally building relationships himself and by becoming the guy who helps others do the same thing. Josh is a master at doing that kind of thing and I wanted to dig into the goals and strategies he has for doing it, in this conversation. I encourage you to take a few minutes to learn from a guy who’s doing relationships and doing them well. How do you break away from what is urgent to foster important relationships? There’s no magic formula for keeping up with the important relationships in your life. You’ve simply got to schedule it into your routine. Josh Baer is a pro at keeping relationships flowing and alive and he emphasizes the importance of building routines that make it happen day in and day out. He uses a handful of tools, including Contactually to make it automated, but in the end, it requires the personal commitment and thoughtfulness that any relationship demands. In this conversation Josh shares the mindsets that help him stick to his relationship nurturing routine as a non-negotiable, so be sure you take the time to listen. A simple hack to build relationships using your email autoresponder. As we wrapped up our conversation I asked Josh Baer for his one piece of advice regarding how someone who wants to begin fostering meaningful relationships can do so. His response was not what I expected. Josh uses his email autoresponder in a way I’ve never heard of before. Instead of waiting to use it as a vacation auto-reply or as a way to warn people that he may never respond, Josh uses it as a way to invite further, specific interaction with those people who have just reached out to him. If you want to know how he sets it up and what kind of things he includes in that first autoresponder you can hear Josh explain it himself, on this episode of Real Relationships. Outline of this great episode [0:34] I’d like to introduce you to my friend, Josh Baer.. [1:52] Why Josh focuses so much on connecting people to each other. [5:07] How Josh learned that who you know is more important than what you know. [9:41] Is there a difference between building community and building relationships? [11:20] What is a people broker and how does it factor into building community? [13:22] How Josh breaks away from the tyranny of the now to nurture relationships. [15:59] The simplest thing anyone can do to build relationships. [18:18] One connection that made a huge impact on Josh’s life. [19:15] The things Josh needs from you right now. [20:24] The one key piece of advice Josh wants you to know.

"This is not like any other nutrition program you've ever stumbled across. You have to think about it differently in terms of it being just one part of a lifelong cycle." - Melissa Hartwig   Pushing Your Reset Button With Your Health, Habits, & Relationship With Food On this week's podcast, you’ll learn from an exceptional woman who has dedicated her life to driving real transformations in physical and emotional wellness. In this hour, together we’ll discover the connections between your emotions and healthy habits to live your best life and enjoy the process. Sparking real, sustainable transformation and creating food freedom begins when we do the emotional inventory with ourselves. This can be a tricky process when starting out, especially when taking the honest look at how we're showing up in our relationship with food is the only way through. But there's science behind why we get stuck, and how we can change. It happens when we're hungry and open to the right answers.  As Melissa writes in her first book, It Starts With Food:   "Ancient signals in a modern world: Food scientists have engineered chemicals in processed foods that light up the reward centers in the brain for a different reason than nature intended- not because they provide vital nutrition, but because they are scientifically designed to stimulate our tastes buds."    About Melissa Hartwig Melissa Hartwig is a Certified Sports Nutritionist who specializes in helping people change their relationship with food and create life-long, healthy habits. She is the co-creator of the original Whole30 program, the New York Times bestselling author of The Whole30 and It Starts With Food. Melissa has been featured by Dr. Oz, Good Morning America, the Wall Street Journal, Details, Shape, Outside, and SELF. Melissa has also presented more than 150 health and nutrition seminars worldwide, and provides support to more than 1.5 million people a month through the Whole30 website.   "We're often told that it's selfish to take care of yourself first, but I look at it as an act of radical self love. I set boundaries in my life so that I am healthy, happy and so that I flourish in my life and I have more to give to everyone else." - Melissa Hartwig   Melissa's New Book: Food Freedom Forever Letting Go of Bad Habits, Guilt, and Anxiety Around Food End the yo-yo dieting cycle… forever. Welcome to the Food Freedom plan. Millions of people have successfully completed the groundbreaking Whole30 program and radically transformed their energy, sleep, cravings, waistline, and health. Now, Food Freedom Forever offers real solutions for anyone stuck in the exhausting cycle of yo-yo dieting and the resulting stress, weight gain, uncontrollable cravings, and health complaints. In her newest book, best-selling author Melissa Hartwig defines true “food freedom” as being in control of the food you eat, instead of food controlling you.   Food Freedom Forever gives you everything you need for achieving dietary success, for today and for the rest of your healthy life. Melissa Hartwig’s information is spot on in terms of its scientific validity, and wonderfully approachable in terms of its implementation. — DAVID PERLMUTTER, MD, Author, #1 New York Times Bestseller, Grain Brain   Resources Mentioned In This Episode The Whole30 Book - New York times Best-seller It Starts With Food - New York times Best-seller Melissa's New Book - Food Freedom Forever Melissa & Dallas Hartwig on ABC's Nightline Melissa & Dallas Hartwig on Dr. Oz The Whole30 Website The Whole9 Website Melissa's Author Page on Facebook Whole30 on Facebook Win a FREE copy of "The Whole30 & "It Starts With Food" Enter to win by posting a picture of your favorite whole30 meal on Instagram and tag @wellnessforce #whole30  Practical Spirituality With Adam Farrah Byron Katie's Work - Inspired Melissa in her life "Loving What Is" by Byron Katie What You'll Hear On The Show 2:00 About Melissa Hartwig 4:45 Melissa shares a few things we don"t know about her 7:45 Melissa's road to creating the Whole30 and her tipping point 9:00 Why Melissa used joy instead of struggle to launch Whole30 and it Starts With Food 10:50 The difference between west coasters vs. east coasters and their relationships with food 12:00 Melissa unpacks what the Whole3o is, how it resets the body, and who it's for 14:30 A life changing story of an older man who transformed his relationship with food by doing Whole30 17:50 Your brain on food: Melissa explains her favorite chapter of "It Starts With Food" 21:15 Melissa explains the difference between satiety and satiation 24:30 Foods with "no brakes" and gateway foods 25:29 The healing power of grass fed hydrolyzed collagen 28:30 The psychology of change model and how to change 30:16 Dealing with anxiety on the Whole30 and in your life 33:30 Melissa discusses shame spirals and her new book Food Freedom Forever 36:07 How to feel like you're enough and worthy of being healthy, lean, athletic and fully present 40:16 Melissa and Josh discuss wearables and using trackers for obligers and upholders 41:20 Why Josh started and hosts Wellness Force Radio 45:51 Being authentic, intuitively vulnerable, and empowering on social media with the Whole30 46:46 7 for 7 round: Josh asks Melissa 7 fast questions 55:13 Win a copy of It Starts With Food and Whole30   Rate & Review Wellness Force Aloha!

Our guest for this week’s show is powerhouse retail investor and developer and founder of Simon CRE, Josh Simon. In today’s show, we’ll be speaking with josh about how he started his CRE business from scratch while still in his mid-twenties and in a short 6 years has grown it to a company that holds more than half a million sq. ft. of retail space and is currently on track to develop more than $100 million dollars of projects in 2016.

The first deal Josh did after stepping out on his own and how this first deal molded the business model that he built the basis of Simon CRE. The reasons he feels that all the good shopping center redevelopment plays have dried up and most of the good deals have been picked over. The impact that technology is having on the retail industry and how future developments will need to have drastic redesigns in order to adapt things such as or autonomous or self driving cars. Why he feels that amazon drones or ecommerce stores won’t replace basic needs retail anytime soon. The driving trends behind service based store chains like Dollar General and Dollar Tree and how these smaller retail footprints offer a more convenient option to larger store like walmart and targets. What the process of site selection looks like when working as a preferred developer for a credit retailer.

In this episode… The Real Estate Investing arena is fraught with dangers in the form of fraudulent schemes run by “experts” who line their pockets with other people’s money and give half-proven or untried systems in return. It can be a very difficult space to be in if you care about doing things ethically, honestly, and with integrity.   Joshua Dorkin felt all of that when he first began making money in real estate. His first purchase was a California condominium that gave him a pretty good return, so he began looking into what it might take to become proficient at real estate investing. What he found discouraged him and he realized, there’s no “safe” place to go for trusted advice and reliable resources.   In concept, that’s where BiggerPockets was born. When Josh first created the site he used it as a community/forum for people in the acting industry (he was an actor at the time) but quickly transitioned it into a real estate investing themed site and community. It’s now THE biggest site in the industry and is the hub for a podcast, forums, resources, a publishing house, and more.   In this conversation of Inspired Insider Dr. Jeremy Weisz asks Joshua to share his journey, from his humble beginnings as the son of an entrepreneurial single mom, to business school (which he hated), to the pursuit of an acting career in California, and finally, into the realm of real estate investing and the birth of BiggerPockets.   Joshua Dorkin is a humble guy, but confident and encouraged at the difference his efforts have made in the real estate investment space. He’s one of those guys who latches on like a pit bull once he knows what he wants to accomplish and never lets go until he’s done it. BiggerPockets is a testament to that sort of work and determination.   Be sure to listen to this inspiring interview to find out how you can get connected with Joshua and the community over at www.BiggerPockets.com.   Resources Mentioned on this episode www.BiggerPockets.com www.BiggerPockets.com/podcast Get the book Josh mentioned: www.BiggerPockets.com/UBG
