TTRU Fitness Podcast with Adrian Conway

Adrian is late today, but you know what they say, "Better late than never".  How are you at  owning your stuff? Today he dives into the topic of mistakes being made, being late, missing a call, missing an email or not delivering your best work. How do you respond? Own it. 

Adrian challenges the listeners today. The goal is to question your career, and how you spend your time. Is it fulfilling? Is it meaningful? Are you passionate about what you do? If the answers are no, you must develop an exit strategy and put it into practice immediately.  We only get one shot at this life, today we explore how to get the most of it. 

Adrian pulls no punches yet again in today's episode. The topic is convenience and how it is killing us as a society. Most of us don't have to do "hard" things physically or mentally daily to survive and it shows in all aspects of our lives. We are becoming undisciplined, soft, less resilient humans, so what can we do?

In this episode Adrian dives into his personal perspective on life as a sport. He shares his vision about competition, the value it can bring when it comes to learning lessons and also how it can help you rise to the occasion. He also touches specifically on training with Tommy Hackenbruck and his team at Ute CrossFit as well as winning the affiliate cup in 2017 when the Wasatch Brutes dethroned C...

Adrian dives into motivation and intention in todays episode. Do you want your goals or you do want to want your goals? Are you in love with the process of achieving your desires or do you just see the romantic side of achievement down the road? To have success you can't be obsessed with the endpoint without being in love with the journey. 

Adrian discusses stress in this episode. He specifically identifies that all of us have it and that there is actually no "good or bad" stress, it's simply how we respond to it. How are you doing with stress in your life? Does it consume you? Or does it become the catalyst of action?

In this episode Adrian kicks down the door with how important nutrition is. But this episode isn't necessarily about food, it is about how you fuel your mind and your heart and how it effects everything you do. 

Adrian explores the value of being where you are in today's episode. He talks about recognizing that not every day will be a sunny day and the value in appreciating the rain or the clouds when they appear in our lives. 

In this episode Adrian shares his opinion on the value of now caring what others think or say. But should you? Well, maybe. There is a balance and he addresses it in today's teaching. We must be surrounded by those who understand where we've been and where we are going, but we must have the ability to block out the rest. Don't listen to the noise. 

Don't even turn this on if it is after 8pm, you won't get to sleep! Adrian is excited and challenging in this episode. He brings to the light that ultimately in this life we are the dictators of two things and truly, two things only "attitude and effort". How are you doing with yours?

Adrian discusses how life is one big lesson. Many of us are missing out on most of life's teachable opportunities by simply not being aware enough to record the lesson itself. Take more notes, it's another example of capitalizing on the cheat sheet we each have for our future tests. 

In this 3rd episode about leadership Adrian talks a bit about leadership "style". You can't lead with authority, you can't lead with emotion, you simply lead by example, you have to lead with service. People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care. 

Leading others comes natural to some and not so natural to others. But no matter how you perceive it, it's hard. Leadership is burdensome, leadership is lonely. Adrian shares some of his experiences as a leader, both the good and the bad, both the welcomed and the unwelcome. The only good leader, the only valid leader is one who does it out of service. 

Adrian challenges the listeners to understand that no matter their personal opinion, they are a leader. As a human leading is inevitable. People will watch, learn, listen to everything you say and whether we realize it or not it will impact them as an audience. Are you prepared to lead? Can you say, "I am a leader."? Well, it's time to recognize that you are, and act like it. 

We all want to work hard, accomplish goals and never give up! Right? Adrian sure does hope so. However there is a time and a place to change your goals, adapt to life, circumstance and seize new or different opportunity. How do we know when it's time? Adrian talks about this in today's episode, how and when it is time to pivot. 

In this episode Adrian answers a question that was presented to him through social media. How do we have conversations about hard or sensitive topics with those that are closest to us? Is it ok to offend someone? How to we bring up the topic? What should we say? How should we act? We will all have these in our lives, let's make sure we are having them out of consideration and love. 

Learning isn't done when you leave school for the day or for your life. Learning is essential every single day and in every single way we can create the opportunity. Adrian discusses how he reads and obsesses over those people who lead lives that he respects and admires. He finds ways to learn from their experience and mistakes so he doesn't have to live them out in his. Don't miss out on life's c...

In this episode Adrian brings up that if you don't fail then you aren't reaching. If you aren't landing flat on your face at times then you aren't pushing yourself. And if you care too much about what others think, you will never reach your goals. Be willing to fail more, fail bigger, and fail more often as you reach for heights that others aren't willing to reach for. 

Adrian has some direct words about our current situation today. We all have goals and aspirations but do our lives foster a place to really have that success? We want more money, more notoriety, more opportunity, but are we prepared for the success to happen? Like money, success often appears when you are ready. 

Episode 10! He made it! Just kidding. 990 episodes to go, but hey, we all have to celebrate the small victories right?! In this episode Adrian talks about a perspective very important to him throughout his entire life. The personal feeling of being exactly where you need to be with where you are at is a hard practice and sometimes a hard pill to swallow. To take time and recognize that while we ca...

What training does for the body, silence and stillness do for the mind. Adrian discusses his struggles with "being still" and value that it can be not just him, but also you. 

Today Adrian dives into the power of diversity. Are you surrounded by like minded people all the time? The same political view, spiritual practices, educational background, income level? Too much of the same thing could be exactly why you are stunted in your growth relationally, spiritually, and financially. Don't chase the "echoing chambers" vibes, be willing to have others in your life that oppo...

Adrian discusses the common told story of two brothers whom have an alcoholic father. While growing up they share the same experiences and memories they choose completely different path's. What is the difference? And which one are you?

Today Adrian explores the importance of your environment. Smell, sight, sound all matter and have a heavy influence on the work you do, the way you feel and ultimately the life you live. Are you in or creating spaces to be fruitful?

Adrian discusses the power of "death"/ being mortal in this episode. It is not a popular topic and sometimes "dark", but important to understand and recognize daily. Understanding our time is finite provides gratitude, and urgency in all we do today!
