Chasing Common Ground: Lifestyle Conversations with Chris Liddle

Real Talk -1-1-20- Welcome to Real Talk, Talking about Setting Goals that are Yours

Pete is originally from Glasgow Scotland, moving to Edmonton at a young age he lived a typical young boy life until an impaired driver and a multi-vehicle accident changed his life. After many phases of life as a highly competitive wheel chair basketball athlete and later as a post secondary student trying to live that 9-5 life, Pete McGregor now trains out of 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu in San Diego. He's a high performer who works his ass off. He trains harder than anyone he faces, often having to compete with more able bodied people and sets himself apart in how he shows up in the world despite what could easily be deemed as a viable excuse. He fights excuses.  

That's not to say that he doesn't have the struggles that other people have with finding motivation. It's not to say that he feels ready to kick ass day in and day out, or that he doesn't hear that negative voice in his head telling him to just mail it in or quit. 

We talk about all that in this episode as well as the coaches that have impacted him, his core values in life, and places that he's really enjoyed travelling to. 

Please share this episode with a friend, rate in on Apple Podcasts and don't ever take tomorrow for granted, because no matter how good we feel today, tomorrow is not guaranteed. Thank you for supporting The Lifestyle Chase.

I brought Carl Paoli back for another episode. He's done a lot in his life so far and you can learn a little more about him in Episode 71 if you haven't already. A quick google, YouTube, or Amazon search will also help give you some context as to what kinds of things he's done leading up to today. 

We really leaned into our topics today coming up with questions and answers that weren't necessarily what we are used to hearing. I was inspired to choose these topics based on what my friends on Instagram have shared with me. 

We talked about how Integrity has become the goto word of 2019 and what that word means to our life's journey when you break it down. We talk about the word Authenticity and how it makes us feel. We talked about finding connection in life and fostering community. We talked about the topic of feeling lonely when not many people around us share our values. We talked about how to see more good and how often we feel that good people are hard to come by. 

We talked about staying positive during a holiday when you have very few reasons to feel positive. 

I hope you enjoy, please like and share!

We covered a lot of material. A LOT of material. For context, Jason's Business, Revolution Fitness and Therapy has been around for a long time. I got to meet Jason at the most recent Fitness Summit at Kansas City. So you might think at first, "oh here's another fitnessy guy talking about fitnessy things and how happy he is that he gets to watch people work out. I bet he's never had to call 911 to say he was worried he was going to die by suicide.". False. 

And yes, I know that's a little dramatic, but if I didn't point that out, would it get your attention?

I think that the topics we cover are going to be helpful to people who listen to The Lifestyle Chase and for people who listen to Revolutionary You for that matter. We talk about how it took 8 months of seeing different therapists for Jason to find the one that essentially saved his life. We talk about what it was like being addicted to drugs for the better part of a decade. We talk about his journey as a dad and what being the father of a child with autism has taught him as a human being. Even just being a father of either of his two very loved children and the dynamics of having two kids with two marriages. 

I think we spent about 4 minutes talking about fitness marketing as well. So there's that. I really hope you enjoy this episode and share it. Thank you for supporting The Lifestyle Chase and be sure to show Jason some love and check out his new book available on Amazon!

Jen Kish is someone a lot of people look up to, not only here in Canada, but from all over the world. Her time as Captain taught her a lot about what being a leader means. We gave shout outs to a lot of our favourite people, talked about what we each bring to the fitness industry, and just had a lot of fun talking about whatever was on our mind. I hope you enjoy this episode, please share it with all of your friends and your friend's friends. Thank you for supporting The Lifestyle Chase.
