Today was a magical Monday. Two very special people named Bob were talked about shortly after their death. One of them being my friend's father and the other, a former fire chief for the firestation I volunteer for. It was a very special day overall and today I want to leave you a reminder that the best way to live forever is in people's hearts. This episode is the audio for the dedication the cur...

Been thinking about doing this one for a while. This is a meditation on something that famous historian Will Durant talked about in his book about historical philosophy. Is intelligence actually associated with true happiness? Listen to me as I try to come to a conclusion and see if you agree. 

I was just talking about this in the previous episode then it happened to me. Ooops! Let's revisit this in this somewhat of a throwback episode. 

It's important to do things for the right reasons. It's why people say you have to be good with yourself before you start trying to fix things around you. Here's where you should start. 

You can't control what happens to you, but you can control how you feel and it's all a matter of perspective. 

Today I talk a bit about running form and the parallels to having strong and positive relationships. Opening up to your feelings and not being insecure or defensive about your actions is the way to run fast as well as build relationships. 

In this episode I talk about the main concerns in exercise. Sweat, sleep, the dangers of overworking, and stretching. I try to give you a little more insight into the actual science behind these things and what they mean for your workout routine. 

We put a bow on our last two conversations by talking about the overarching theme of having boundaries and more importantly, having an awareness of what you value. If you want to be perceived as confident in the world you better have boundaries. 

This episode is the contrary position to yesterday's episode. I talked about people going too hard yesterday. Today, I want to talk about people not going hard enough. 

In today's episode I talk about the benefits and pitfalls of going hard. Sometimes it's good, but you have to know when...

Today I was mowing the lawn after too much putting it off and it made me think about the ultimate thief, procrastination. In this episode, I talk about why it's important to tackle those things that are occupying space in your mind. Because space in your mind is a terrible thing to waste. 

In this episode I've pulled together some clips about patience and accepting that life sometimes doesn't go your way. However, if you're after anything that takes more than a day, you're gonna need a little patience and determination. Here's how to do it. 

This episode was a straight off the top of the head flow about the reason why we all NEED to at least attempt to live up to our potential. It's not enough to just be happy with who you are, you have to want to improve on that, whatever it is to maintain a level of happiness and often times, you'll find that exercise is just what you need to get you there.

If you sit for more than 4 hours a day, you may want consider these 3 stretches that I recommend to all my personal training clients that have desk jobs. In this episode, I explain what they are and why you need each particular stretch

Wanna know something. I've been through some really tough times. I mean you probably have too, so today I wanna talk about why these really crappy times are actually the greatest gift than any one of us can ever experience. 

In yesterday's episode I talked about meditation in general. Today, I thought it to be a good idea to talk about why I personally meditate. Maybe you'll identify with what I'm talking about here and you'll find your own reasons to meditate. Remember meditation doesn't have to mean that you have to go away and wear a white robe for 9 days without showering and eating granola all day. It could be ju...

Today we learn a little bit about how to meditate. Tip: it's easier than you probably think.

You can learn a lot on your own and you should. Too often people rely on others and are extremely disappointed with the result. There is a way to never be disappointed and it's by learning how to do things on your own, but you should never spend too much time on your weaknesses. In this episode we're gonna talk about how working on your strengths can help you improve on your weakness. 

A lot of people start off and they take on too much. The key to  success is to test your limits without having to incur too much of a setback. If you set yourself to far back or don't give yourself a good enough jump start, that could spell disaster. In this episode I talk about my cross country trips and what we can learn about giving yourself an appropriate challenge. 

Want to stop procrastinating. It starts with gratitude and ends with understanding the power you have over your life. You are a being with the potential to accomplish unlimited possibilities. You just have to know where to look.

There is a famous proverb that says "know thyself." I've been putting off this origin story because I didn't really know how to tell it. I hope that this episode provides you with some value in knowing a little bit more about my upbringing and encourages you to also take a close look at your life to see where your strengths lie so that you may execute on them. 

Sometimes you have to slow down to speed up. In this episode I talk a little bit about the parallels between running form and setting up a life with low stress that's more efficient. Learn how learning to relax can give you the best results. 

Today I posted something on Instagram that had personally been confusing me for a few weeks.  It was a meme that I made that said "You can't change the people around you, but you CAN change the people around you." I was miffed at this (especially since I wrote it! ), but I finally figured it out after a recent conversation with a client who had been really seeing a lot of progress recently.&n...

Today as I was getting chased by a robot on my run (was being trailed by someone on a hoverboard) I realized how getting anything takes time and chunking it out and being patient is the ultimate key to success. 

I wanted to start talking about how exercise makes you happy today and somehow I got into a rant about how being present helps you not to judge others and gives you more power of your own life. This is a really good one if you're trying to figure out other reason to exercise other than looking good. Because looking good can only help motivate you for so long.
