Exercise is good for us, right? But what kind of exercise and when? Noone wants to waste their time doing movement that doesn't get a good result.  And we have all done it! Wasted our time with the latest fad only to end up with an injury or more belly fat or less energy. With movement, getting as specific as possible will get us the best outcomes.  In this episode I talk about my fitnes...

Stress! Stress! Stress!  Pretty much everything I do is to help myself and others lower the chronic cortisol levels that are making us tired and unhealthy. Enter an even bigger stress...adversity.  Adversity mimetics is a process where we (knowingly and intentionally) introduce the body to stressors that mimic times of hardship.  Why? And doesn't this oppose everything that I stand...

Guilt is a yucky feeling that we all want to experience less.

Focusing on yourself and reducing stress where you can is the ultimate in self-care, which translates to massive points in our self-love game!  That's why we're talking stress!  Where are your stress levels?

Do you feel like you are enough?  Many of us go through life not feeling like we are enough. Whether it's social enough or independent enough. Active enough or relaxed enough. Driven enough or motivated enough. Let alone pretty or strong or kind or rich or thin enough!  I am going to step out on a limb and say that no one feels like they are enough....enough!  Feeling like we are en...

I dove into producing this podcast without doing my favorite thing.  Today we go back and remedy that. When I talk about any subject, especially one as beat-up and overused as Longevity, I like to first define what it is. With longevity, it is our goal, our destination, our desire...or at least it is mine (and I assume it's yours because you found this podcast), so it's super important to sta...

In this episode of the Entrepreneurs Arena we look into what I term Entrepreneurial Guilt.  Chances are that it either has, or is or will be affecting your entrepreneurial journey.  And it's not fun. What is it? It's that pull on your heart and your mind between your business and your personal life. It's that feeling that you should be at work when you are at home and, likewise, you shou...
