Chasing Common Ground: Lifestyle Conversations with Chris Liddle

Scott McWalter is one of the best that Prince George, BC has to offer. He even highlighted others in his community in our episode so if your ears are ringing maybe you should check it out. Part of this episode is almost like a tourism commercial which really shows you that Scott is someone who applies his positive attitude to life and what surrounds him and gets personal and professional results from it.

We talk about family and goals and staying motivated through even our roughest days. We talk about Scott's experiences in chasing greatness in his career as well as the impact that participating in and leading spin class has had on him. Fitness is a big part of his life, but his main career right now is in marketing.

We talk about technology and how it impacts our ability to tune into the people right in front of us. We talk about long his experiences with Iron Man and why he admires Terry Fox, and his big goal for 2030 which he will work on bit by bit over the course of the next 10 years.

It's easy to look back to 2010 and be like "that was just yesterday" but for some reason it's a daunting task to plan to succeed in 2030.

I came across Scott McWalter when I was first thinking about starting The Lifestyle Chase. I was talking about it with my friend Blake Fillion. Blake Fillion had a clear understanding of where I wanted to go with the podcast and he told me all about Scott and the kind of person he is. 

So I started off the podcast with Blake as my first guest, and went from there. Seeking out guests always comes with a great deal of variability. There are so many podcasts to choose from, I have to make it less about who it is and more about the things that we talk about or the conversations we have. 

With that being said, the journey never really ends. There will always be something to learn, always a way to improve, and always something to be grateful for. 

Thank you for supporting me in this journey of mine. As more episodes get released, you may find that you can only see the most recent ones on iTunes or Spotify. To see the entire library of episodes, go to lifestylechase.podbean.com

Today I had a really reflective conversation with Austin Current. He's a deep thinker just like me and really needs to trust the people that surround him. We talk about being in a good environment and positioning ourselves to be pursuing things that we are good at in a way that we can still seek challenge. 

We talk not only about fitness but about Austin's high school experience, times of doubt, how he's gotten to know himself better and how he's had to learn how to disassociate from his identity being what he does such as his past as an athlete in team sports and make it more about being associated with his identity in how he does ANYTHING. 

Austin started in the fitness industry when he made his debut to the physique stage in 2013. In 2014, he earned his IFBB Pro status and shortly after started to take on clients in-person and online. In 2016, Austin graduated with a degree in Exercise Science and earned his NSCA-CSCS certification. Austin currently resides in Colorado with his wife, KaSandra.

That last paragraph came straight from his website and I was lucky to get the opportunity to really fill in the gaps in our visit today. Please share this episode on social and you can learn more about Austin by checking out his podcast, Life Beyond Fitness or following him @austincurrent_ .
