What is 'absolute responsibility'?

While at the University of Kentucky Cheer Program, Chris Rodonis was introduced to this idea.  While simple to understand, application in your daily life and thought process is very different.  

Discussing true ownership over your life and results.  Enjoy this episode with Chris Rodonis!

This is our first episode of 2022 and I couldn't be more excited to have my brother, Chris Rodonis, joining us.  

Chris has a great story to share. Chris ultimately became a 2x national champion and the University of Kentucky in Cheerleading. While receiving a scholarship, and completing his MBA. Since graduation, he carried his success into the business world and is currently a Chief Revenue Officer.  

The road to success was not an easy or obvious one, however.  Growing up, athletics was not his natural gift.  But he had something else, a relentless quality about him.  He had this way of setting his sights on a goal and just simply worked at it.  Sounds simple enough...and it is. But his consistent work and attention to detail paid off. 

We hear his story about how he even found the opportunity at UK.

We talk about the strength training program in college and the power of team. 

What was the transition away from college, being in peak shape, to striking balance in business. 

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did

Having trouble finding that perfect gift for that man in your life? Ryan and Joe run down some of there favorite products and brands from this year.

Practice Gratitude. I've been told this before, and I get it...I think we all day. We understand the concept of gratitude, right? If we are grateful for where we are/what we have, we'll be happier.

But how many of us actually practice gratitude. There's always a difference between understanding something conceptually and actually embodying a belief and putting it into practice.

I've always been curious about this; why should I actually practice gratitude? I haven't really found a strong enough reason to compel me to make it a daily practice. That's why we dove into this topic.

As Ryan and I dove into this topic, we found a ton of research that's been done on the subject. Let's dive in.

This week we have Joel Totoro @jctotoro from Thorne @thorneresearch Director of Sports Science. Joel was the very first, full-time Dietitian in the NFL for the New England Patriots from 2004 - 2012.

On this episode, we touch on listening to your intuition and letting go of attachment. Even in areas of life such as; how do you recharge and recover? We discuss recovery, but not the way you think. There are environmental stressors impacts us daily. Stress from our careers, environment, relationships, etc. How can you learn yourself well enough to know how to recharge properly?

On this episode we discuss a few topics: 

- Updates in New York City during the pandemic.  What it's been like living in New York?  How has the city changed / adapted 

- Looking at your goals from a long term perspective.  Avoiding the quick fix, and setting yourself up with proper expectations.  

- Setting Intention. "Are you confusing motion for progress?"

- Falling in love with your work when no one is watching 

- Identifying the difference between physical and mental limitations you may be creating for yourself

We are certainly in a difficult time.  But it's also a great time to get in touch with yourself and get re-centered.  Enjoy this episode!

Welcome to the Athlete's Pursuit with Joe Rodonis and Ryan Turner! We are very excited to launch the first episode of the season, as we share what this show is all about!

On today's episode, Ryan and I discuss the topic of Leadership.

This is always one of my favorite topics, because I believe we all take on a leadership role in our lives.  It doesn't mean you are necessarily leading a team.  It could mean a family member looks up to you or a community.  Even qualities you want to embody yourself.

We also discuss how someone may gain a following within a community.

Enjoy this Episode!

Vulnerability.  A topic that has become increasingly popular due in large part from the work of Brene Brown.
