Changes To The Podcast, Day 76 On Burpee Challenge

This quote was meaningful to me today as I decided to turn off many of the ads that are running on the podcast. After some thought, I made this decision based on trying to maintain the highest quality possible. Of course, for anything to be sustainable, some revenue must be generated. This comes in the form of ads. However, too many is too many so I am going to turn off the low paying ads and put back on my sales hat and bring in sponsors that are more in line with the content. Sponsors like Barracuda Tackle.

Scaling Back In Preparation For An Event - How To Show Up At Your Best

We are one week away from Memorial Day. For many, that means that a big workout or race is coming up to honor those who have served and sacrificed. As we get ready for any event that we have been training for, it is important to scale back our activity so that we can rest, recover, and show up at our best. How do we do that? Lay off completely? Back off 20%? Today, I go over protocols that have worked for me over the years to show up on race day uninjured and ready to perform at my best.

Do Not Let What You Can't Do Interfere With What You Can Do

John Wooden has a famous quote: “Do not let what you can not do interfere with what you can do”. Wise words that have served many well. We discuss how this quote may apply to the quarantine that we are all experiencing. Additionally, we completed the Wim Hof Quarantine Challenge and are on day 41 of the 100-day Burpee Challenge. How’s it going?

Correct The Mind And The Rest Of Your Life Will Fall Into Place

Each of these challenges helps us to work on discipline as well as giving us the opportunity to clear the mind through moving meditation and breathing exercises. By calming the mind, we can be clear-headed and rational. Devoting time to this practice every day will help to correct the mind and if Lao Tzu is correct, the rest of our lives will fall into place.
