Kevyn Zeller of Kevyn Zeller Pilates + and the Awoken and Unbroken experience joins Enterprise Fit Radio. Kevyn is a Pilates instructor, accountability coach, and combines these two practices in exclusive retreats for entrepreneurs and business leaders.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Kevyn Zeller discuss the following:

* Tell us about yourself. How did you get started with Pilates?

* With a thriving Pilates practice, what made you want to expand into coaching?

* What is accountability coaching? How do you work with your clients?

* What is the biggest challenge that you find impedes entrepreneurs from achieving their goals?

* I imagine these two business verticals of Pilates and coaching come together on your retreats. Tell us about the retreat experience. What can attendees expect and who is it for?

Kevyn Zeller began practicing Pilates more than 20 years ago and has been teaching on two continents for 18 years. A knee injury during her years as a long-distance runner in Mexico led her to discover Pilates as a means of rehabilitation. The practice not only healed her knee but also became an essential part of her being profoundly influencing the way in which she approaches both movement and life in general.

Kevyn received her Pilates Certification and Master’s Certification at The Pilates Center in Boulder, Colorado. Concurrently, she obtained a B.A. degree in Kinesiology at The University of Colorado at Boulder. It is her belief that the key to health and healing lies in One’s ability to connect with his or her deepest, most authentic center in order to acknowledge movement patterns or habits that are no longer serving optimal health. This led her to launch her accountability coaching business working with entrepreneurs and busy CEOs to prioritize not only their goals but their SELF. Coaching and Pilates combine on Kevyn’s Awoken & Unbroken Retreats, offered in serene locations around the world.

This episode of Enterprise Radio is on association with the Author Channel.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Michael McCarthy discuss the following:

* How did you come to write Follow the Money? Was this due to your travels as a writer?

* U.S. corporate income has increased several hundred percent since Free Trade or “globalization” began with China, while the average North American blue-collar income has decreased 10 percent. What do you attribute this to and how do you see it evidenced in our countries?

* Corrupt China Communist Party officials and Chinese business leaders have purchased prime real estate all around the world, including incredible holdings in Los Angeles, Toronto, and New York, using vast amounts of money from western consumers “always looking for happiness in the discount aisle at Walmart.” How is our shopping dependency helping China?

* Is America’s shopping addiction linked to the country’s growing fentanyl dependency?

* What do you recommend North American consumers do?

Michael McCarthy and his adventures around the planet read like an Indiana Jones script. He has trekked over the Himalayas to find and rescue abandoned children in the midst of a civil war, where he was captured by Maoist guerillas and held for ransom. This adventure is shown in the book (Amazon) and documentary The Snow Leopard Returns (Youtube). Over a dozen of his travel books are available on Amazon, including travel humour photobooks Amazing Adventures and Better than Snarge.

Michael survived his ferry boat sinking in the midst of the crocodile-infested Tonle Sap inland sea in Cambodia, wandered the jaguar inhabited cloud forests of Ecuador, followed grizzly bears in Alaska and the Great Bear Rainforest of British Columbia, cage dived with great white sharks off California, explored the haunts of former headhunters in the Marquesa Islands of the South Seas, kayaked with humpback whales in Newfoundland and Labrador, interviewed marine iguanas about social Darwinism in the Galapagos, swum with sea turtles in the Caribbean, gotten lost snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, and myriad other explorations of remote and seldom visited wild destinations.

As a reporter for the prestigious Pacific Sun in California, he is the only journalist ever to sneak into San Quentin Prison and escape to write a cover story about it. Hundreds of his travel stories and OpEds have been published in Postmedia newspapers across Canada. He continues to write and publish his guidebook series Picnics in Paradise; Short Walks and Easy Bike Trips in Vancouver. A prolific photographer, his trips to over 40 countries are illustrated in his photobook Portraits of People and the Places They Live.

Aside from adventures, his humanitarian work includes creating and funding a cosmetics course at the federal prison for women in Nepal that resulted in the probation of 38 women; editing and publishing Spare Change Street Newspaper for 5 years, a publication that allowed homeless people in Vancouver to earn a living and self-respect instead of begging; practicing micro-philanthropy in several countries in southeast Asia; helping found theWrite to Read Project in British Columbia, whose volunteers deliver libraries and Internet connections to Indigenous communities in remote locations.
