Ready to delve into an exhilarating journey that merges extreme sports, health, the human psyche, and the evolution of culture? Join us in this episode of 'Learn or Be Learned' as we sit down with the renowned extreme sports and fitness coach, Scotty Abourisk.
We kickstart our conversation with a glance at Scotty's unique training techniques. Dive into the adrenaline-fueled world of his clients and learn how he prepares them not just physically, but mentally too. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Scotty helps us unravel how these mindset tools can transition beyond the sports arena, enabling personal growth and cultivating a resilient perspective on life.
Our discussion takes an exciting turn as we intersect the world of physical fitness and mental fortitude with anthropology. How has our culture evolved compared to our biology? And in today's fast-paced world of technology and instant gratification, how are we keeping up—or falling behind?
Finally, we steer our dialogue toward systems. From food on demand to tech reliance, are these conveniences aiding us or distracting us from building a better 'self'? Scotty enlightens us on how to construct a system for personal growth, enabling us to navigate these distractions.
This episode is your perfect catalyst if you want to explore the crossroads of fitness, personal development, culture, and self-systems. Step into the arena with Scotty Abourisk on 'Learn or Be Learned', and kickstart your journey towards an optimized you.

Get ready to gain some insights from the latest episode of Learn or Be Learned as the amazing host, Shiva Dhanasekar, talks about the significance of vision and its impact on one's direction and mindset. Brace yourselves for a delightful conversation as Shiva welcomes the licensed psychotherapist and stress management expert, Dr. Gina Schneider on the show. Not only has Dr. Schneider authored a book called "Frazzle Brain," but she also brings her expertise to the table on this episode of the podcast. Shiva invites Dr. Schneider to introduce herself to the audience, and you are surely in for an informative and thought-provoking session. Don't miss out on this one - tune in now!
1. Start small. Begin with short periods of mindfulness practice, such as five or ten minutes a day, and gradually increase the length of time.
2. Focus on your breath. Pay attention to your breath as you inhale and exhale. This can help you stay focused and centered.
3. Practice gratitude. Take a few moments each day to reflect on the things in your life that you're thankful for. This can help shift your focus away from negative thoughts and emotions.
If you're someone who struggles with stress or anxiety, I highly encourage you to listen to this episode. As Shiva said, "where you aim your mind, what you're trying to do with your life, has a lot of power." This episode offers valuable insights and practical tips for aiming your mind towards peace and calm.
Quote: "Mindfulness is about being present in the moment and paying attention to your thoughts and feelings without judgment." - Dr. Gina Schneider
Hey there, listeners! It's time for another episode of Learn or be learned, where we dive deep into the human experience with fascinating guests and thought-provoking topics. In today's episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with none other than Dr. Gina Schneider, a licensed psychotherapist and stress management expert. Our conversation focused on the importance of self-care, and how to make it a priority in our busy lives.
Self-care isn't just about bubble baths and massages (although those are certainly nice!). It's about taking care of yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually. Here are three tips for practicing self-care:
1. Set boundaries. Learn to say "no" when you need to, and prioritize your own needs in your daily schedule.
2. Move your body. Exercise is a powerful way to relieve stress and improve your mood. Find an activity that you enjoy, whether it's yoga, running, or dancing in your living room.
3. Practice self-compassion. Be kind to yourself and give yourself permission to rest when you need it. Remember, you're only human!
As Dr. Schneider reminded us in today's episode, self-care isn't selfish. In fact, it's essential to our overall well-being. So if you're feeling burnt out or overwhelmed, take some time to prioritize yourself and practice self-care. And don't forget to listen to this episode for more insights and tips!

In this real estate mini-series, host Shiva Dhanasekar is joined by experienced realtors Ramu Velu and Nithin Thomas to discuss real estate investing mindsets. The six-episode series is filled with valuable tips, advice, and mindsets that will inspire you to take the leap into real estate investing.
In this particular episode, the trio emphasizes the importance of understanding personal goals when investing in real estate. They discuss how single-family homes are a popular rental choice among investors because they want to know the potential Return on Investment (ROI) after expenses, and how cash flow is important in determining ROI. Additionally, the speakers shed light on how real estate investments, like those of McDonald's, appreciate over time, providing a hedge against inflation.
Moreover, owning a home is an important part of the American dream, providing a sense of ownership and pride that other investments do not.

Furthermore, the speakers explore the various avenues for investing in real estate, including single and multi-family homes, warehouses, short-term rentals, and more. They explain the distinction between commercial and residential properties, as well as the difference between single-family and multi-family homes.

"Pilot Run with two of my favorite Texas Realtors. Join us as we explore the growth mindset and learn why real estate is such a powerful tool. With special guests Ramu Velu and Nithin Thomas, we will demystify the role of a realtor and the psychology behind investing and making money." - Shiva Dhanasekar
Summary
In this episode, Shiva is joined by two special guests: Nithin Thomas of NT Consulting and Ramu Velu of Velu Holdings LLC. Together, they discuss real estate as a good career choice. Ramu notes that despite real estate's occasional "bad brand rep.," it is responsible for creating the most number of millionaires in America. He emphasizes that those in the real estate business genuinely care about people, making it an attractive opportunity. Ramu also adds that it takes a certain mindset to succeed in the industry, but that there is also reward in terms of status and money if you contribute to society.
However, they also warn potential investors of the pitfalls of the business. They caution against cutting corners, as it rarely pays off in the long run. They also advise potential buyers to find out what works for them and ensure their convictions about a property match up with reality.
At the end of the podcast, Shiva and his guests offer a few parting words: Scarcity should NOT be the default mentality, and there is an opportunity for investors of all backgrounds.
If you're looking for an inspiring and informative podcast about real estate, tune in to this episode of LBL E64 MS1 with host Shiva Dhanasekar, and guests Nithin Thomas and Ramu Velu.
