MINDSET MONDAY - 3 Simple Tips to Maximize Your Energy

Monday Jun 28, 2021

I think we can all agree that one of the most frustrating things is when we are EXHAUSTED and still have so many things left to do. And for many of us we can't just drop everything and curl up in bed with a snack and a movie. However, I have 3 simple tips that could rejuvenate your energy and help this problem. Being mindful of your nutrition, physical exercise, and overall recovery are three things that will make the biggest difference. We all know the health benefits of clean eating, yet why do we choose to eat junk? We all know how beneficial physical activity is for us and our minds, yet why do we not do it every day? We understand what proper rest and recovery looks like, but why do we choose to ignore it? If you feel slow and tired every day then start to be very mindful of these three categories and watch your energy sky rocket.

Episode 48: Prison Leads To Positivity with Ryan Stephens

Thursday Jun 24, 2021

Ryan Stephens' is living proof that it does not matter who you were in your past, but what's important is who you become. Ryan started his life of entrepreneurship at a young age and has found great success over the years. Ryan's most memorable and influential endeavour in business happened to be drug dealing. Being a drug dealer was not what he ever anticipated nor wanted to do, but quite frankly it may have been the most influential thing for him. His mindset and overall take on life shifted and transformed him into who he is today. He now advocates mental health with 'Ideas and Beers', runs ultramarathons, and helps others succeed in life. Ryan is an incredible human with massive goals that solely revolve around helping others. I encourage everyone to be a light in someones life and aspire to change lives just like Ryan does.

MINDSET MONDAY - Men's Mental Health Week

Monday Jun 21, 2021

Today marks the start of men's mental health week and I felt it was important to express the importance of this. We all have men in our life and I'm sure we all know one who is a blue collar "suck it up" type of man. My goal for all men out there is to eliminate the tough guy act and just be true to yourself. Confront and value the struggles in your life and learn how to fix them. It does NOT make you weak to be vulnerable and it sure doesn't change your nature to seek help. I encourage everyone to make it a goal of theirs to check in on all of the men in their life this week. Let's use this week as an opportunity to start normalizing vulnerable conversations within men's lives. Men's mental health has a stigma surrounding it and it's time we crush it.

Episode 47: Never A Lack In Adventure with Jordan Todd

Thursday Jun 17, 2021

Jordan Todd is a man of many traits and I don’t think he will ever settle for just one. He is an athlete, a coach, a skier, a hiker, and an overall adventurer. Jordan was a hockey player for the majority of his life before stepping aside and finding his own path. He is the first one to admit that the road to where he is now was not easy, nor did he figure it out right away. Jordan found himself through repeatedly working hard with a major goal of finding himself. Jordan later found his passion for the functional fitness and started immersing himself in the outdoors and now you can catch him almost every day on mountain peaks. Jordan’s strength, courage, and vulnerability will help so many people and he is someone who is truly showing the importance of being MENTALLY SHREDDED!

MINDSET MONDAY - Life's Not That Serious

Monday Jun 14, 2021

At the end of the day we all finish in the same place; buried in the ground or burnt to ashes. Our name will soon disappear from conversation and our ‘legacy’ will only live in the grave. I know this all seems blunt, but it’s true. You stressing about buying a house, having kids by a certain age, getting married, or becoming a millionaire is all pointless! I encourage you to eliminate your daily stress, overthinking, and fear. Strive to live a life that makes YOU happiest and start doing what you desire. If working for a big corporation doesn’t please you then don’t. If traveling excites you then travel. You are able to accomplish everything you want in life, but it all starts by not taking life all too serious.

MINDSET MONDAY - Find Your Balance

Monday Jun 07, 2021

Finding balance between work and fun is tough, but it's crucial. It's never easy to see everyone doing something while you're working and it's also never easy to be out when you know you could be working. The main reason why striving to have balance in your life is so important is because at the top you don't want to be alone. Being lonely when you've succeeded can be a very dull and emotionless feeling. I have never personally met someone who was at the top and not surrounded by amazing people. Ask for help along the way, welcome people into your life, and cherish the beauty of life on your way to success.

Episode 45: Embrace Being Different

Thursday Jun 03, 2021

I chose to be different this week by hiking to the top of a mountain to film a podcast. I asked myself what would make me happy and this was exactly it. Most people look at the stages of building a podcast and dream of some fancy studio, but I dream of changing the way we approach mental health world wide with people's stories. I dream of chasing unique dreams and building a community that normalizes the topic of mental health. My future will be different than everyone else's because I am different than everyone else. My past and my future will never be in sync with someone else's and I love that. We are all unique in our own way and it's time we start embracing our differences as opposed to shaming them. Nobody ever stood out by being normal, so embrace being different.

MINDSET MONDAY - Consistency Compounds

Monday May 31, 2021

Consistency is not a once in a blue moon thing; it is constant action being taken at a certain level of performance over a quality of time. Constantly expanding with your work, studying, fitness, content, etc, will compound and lead to great success. Success is earned not given and through consistency you will obtain exactly what you desire. Being consistent is not always easy, but it sure is rewarding. There will be ups and downs, but if you persevere and continue to be consistent you will be rewarded by your actions. You don't lose 20lbs by going to gym once, you don't make a million dollar company by putting in one 12 hour day, and you don't become successful without consistency. The more consistent you are means the more successful you'll be because consistency compounds.
