Chasing Common Ground: Lifestyle Conversations with Chris Liddle

I am lucky to know so many incredible humans and Jessica and Graham Doody are no exception. I'm very glad I got to have this visit with them. They are definitely a high functioning couple, both with a great deal of life experiences that have impacted and shaped them as the people that they are today.

We talked about a lot of the important things in life, lessons learned and at the very end we discussed how to perceive certain things in our life that just happen and get in the way. 

Sometimes you train for something for years and years, or you dream big, and it's important to always look at your core values to ensure they are maintained. It's important to take life's obstacles as lessons and not let downs. We fall, we get back up.

I hope you enjoy this episode. You'll be able to find it on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play, and the link in my bio. The Lifestyle Chase is also accessible via www.yegfitness.ca.

Thank you for listening, my challenge to any new listeners is to choose an episode from someone you do not know, send me a message and tell me what you learned. 

Thanks for the support, all of the shares and ratings always make me feel special so I mean you could do that too if you like. I just like to talk.

Episode 30 is with Chicago Based, Case Kenny. Case is a man that wears many hats. He's a Sales Director, Entrepreneur, writer, podcast host of New Mindset Who Dis, and founder of www.prsuit.com.

He's a pretty cool dude and we could relate on a lot of different levels. I thought it was pretty awesome.

What sets Case apart in his industry is his ability to be himself, and promote that for others. He believes that while mindset can change a lot in your life, you also need to take action to make that change happen.

We chatted about all the things except I forgot to ask him what kinds of food he likes. Maybe next time. 

I hope you give this one a listen. A lot of my listeners are used to hearing Edmonton guests all the time and I thought it would be some empowering perspective to hear from someone a little further away. 

These episodes are alway available on Spotify, iTunes, Google Play, Apple Music as well as through the link in my bio. 

If you enjoyed it, send me a message, or tag me on social. I'd love to know who is listening!

I asked Danielle if she thought a gym dog could elicit a PR in someone's lift. She essentially said if the dog is watching you, you have to impress the dog so you will obviously be strong for the dog. I love that answer.  

A lot of my guests have never listened to any of my podcast episodes going into it. Some of them have listened to several of them. It all depends on the individual, what is going on in their life and how much spare time they have. 

I didn't really know Danielle going into this podcast. I have followed her on social media for a year or more, and I knew she would be able to speak to certain mental and physical strengths required in life. 

How do we deal with someone else's death when we find ourselves showing showing empathy. How do we cope, how do we show our emotions, how do we live our lives?

I just tried to keep it real and throw some laughs into this episode. You'll have to let me know what you think.

If you're listening, share it on social and tag me in it. It often makes my day when someone lets me know they're listening to an episode. 

Ratings and reviews always help spread my message as well. 

As always, episodes are available on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Google Play, as well as the link in my bio and www.yegfitness.ca.

I hope you enjoy! Thank you for listening!

It was not a coincidence that I scheduled Dean Somerset to be on my podcast on my birthday. I mean, that was the day this week that he was most available to guest on it, but that's beside the point. Regardless of what day it is today, it fills my cup to spend as much time with good human beings as possible. 

For anyone who doesn't know, Dean Somerset has his BSc. Kinesiology, he's a certified exercise physiologist, certified strength and conditioning specialist, and medical exercise specialist. If you casually ask him what he does in the gym though, he might just say he's a personal trainer. 

During certain times of the year, he travels around the world to share his wealth of knowledge that came from years of experience in the industry, a passion in the pursuit of learning, and just plain integrity in staying humble and being open to the lessons you can learn from everyone you meet in your life. In addition to presenting at conferences and summits, he creates a lot of material and releases a great deal of knowledge accessible to the masses. He's a goto for continuing education.

He still works with clients one on one, out of Evolve Downtown for the simple reason that we enter this industry to be with people, face to face, and as such,  this still holds importance in his career. 

We talk about family influence, sports, high school life, cookies or ice cream, lasagna, pizza, dogs, and high fives.

I don't really have to sell this episode to you, if you know Dean, you're already listening to it. He's a guy that many people are invested in and I am honoured that he shared his time with me today.

If you enjoy this one, send me a message, tag me in a post or give it a review and a rating. 

You'll be able to find this one on most podcast platforms such as Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Google Play. As always, thank you for listening!

Episode 27 comes with a bit of a prelude to explain the echoing. The release was delayed by a few days (FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER haha) because I truly went "full nerd" in my attempt to get rid of or reduce the echo. Once you get that minor detail behind you it was a really fun conversation.

Ryan McDonald is a local Realtor and is one of the most driven people I know. Let's not forget that I know a lot of driven people. 

Before I go further, I want to mention I have appointed him as my official episode sponsor (so I mean, I just want to remind you he sells houses with the McDonald Real Estate Group).

That's not what he's all about though, he didn't ask or a plug.

He talks about it in the episode how sometimes in our own selfish way it feels good to help people. He's helped me in many ways in my career. 

We talk about family, his dad life, his love of pizza and the illusions that Vance Bosch has that he also loves Costco Hot Dogs. 

It's a good one, you should give it a listen. Send me a message, let me know what you think. As always, ratings and shares help me out tremendously and I appreciate them greatly.

They call her "Bitchin' Housewife" and if there is ever a Zombie Apocalypse her phone is going to light up with people in her life that knows when life throws you an obstacle you find a way to stop bitching about it and rise up. 

We really dive into what defines relentlessness. It will look different to everyone, maybe it will seem like our situation isn't as big of a deal as someone else's or perhaps it could feel like our situation is much more dire than anyone we know. 

Essentially it's about this:

What do you do when shit hits the fan in your life? 

Jennifer has been an entrepreneur, she's run long distance races while pregnant, she's gone through the mental and physical roller coaster of a bodybuilding competition, she battles endometriosis, she's felt rock bottom and she's felt what it feels like to be at the top, she's a mom. Did I mention she ran long distances while pregnant?!? 

We talk about just about everything you can fit into an hour of conversation and it is completely improvised. I also give away my secret formula to my relaxation baths and we give a bunch of people a shout out. 

I was very glad I got to have this chat and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 

You can find it on most podcast streaming platforms, Google Play, Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, or even by simply googling The Lifestyle Chase. Partnered with YEG Fitness Magazine. 

If you enjoy it, please let me know by tagging me and sharing it on social media. I always appreciate when my messages get spread. 

Thank you for listening!
