Build Your Alpha

This week's episode talks about "Burning the Candle at Both Ends". Where we can spread ourselves too thin between our personal and professional lives that we do so much, and not allow our body's to recover properly. This can affect us and how we operate daily, but there is a trick that can help avoid this burnout and help you feel more recharged daily.

This week's episode is around physical well-being and our relationship with food. That we were taught that 2,000 calories in a day is what we should consume, but never given more information about why that is what everyone should eat. How I had challenges with food and had to learn by doing more research to better improve my relationship with my eating habits.

This week's episode talks about taking a step back to realize how far you've come and how we have the opportunity to want more and achieve it. "The Golden Rule" is about being happy for your current situation, yet still having the desire for more in your life. Being happy, humble, and hungry.

This week's episode talks about a challenge I developed for myself through going to the gym. The 5 Pound Rule - which talks about how small changes now, and continued small increases in difficulty, can lead to large growth over time. How this concept I have applied to other areas of my life to continue to grow and develop personally outside the gym as well.

This week's episode talks about self-awareness when it comes to our own strengths and weaknesses. That it's important to be able to know not only what we're strongest in, but also what we are weakest in. This way we can focus more of our time and energy into a pursuit of "mastering" those strengths. It's more fun to tune up a hot-rod than to fix a clunker.

This week's episode talks about the relationship that I've developed with food over the years. How it's not about eating healthy meals every single meal, but finding a balance and following the 80/20 Rule. That replacement and moderation are far more important to create a positive relationship with eating that eliminating certain food all together.

This week's episode is a bit of a twist on past episodes. With Valentine's Day around the corner, this week's episode talks about the relationships I've seen and my own experiences with relationships. How everyone's experiences and happiness in a relationship can be very different, but that's okay as long as you're happy that's all that matters. 

This week's episode talks about being your own salesperson. That each day we are constantly in "sales" situations where we are buying and selling ourselves, our thoughts, and our opinions. Whether it's in an interview, on a date, in a presentation, or deciding where to eat. So, why do we have such a negative idea behind sales? It's because too many salespeople don't listen and solve our problem. We need to be able to listen and make the other person's life better by showing what we have to offer.

This episode is about how being physically active can not only help with your physical fitness but other aspects of your life. It can help improve your mental well-being and sense of self, as well as maybe even help build relationships.
