Live Better Now

Noel is an incredible human being and a huge inspiration not only to me but to the over 800K that are following his journey on social media. After struggling with an 8-year addiction to drugs, spending a year in rehab but failing, he decided one day he didn't want to live like that any longer and got clean and sober. During his recovery, he gained weight. Hated the way he looked. Depressed, overweight, and with no aspirations in life, he decided to go for a run around his block in Tulsa, OK. It was hard, but he loved it. Eventually, he was running 60-70 mile weeks. 6 years ago he began his triathlon journey signing up for his first sprint race coming in 3rd. He won his next race a few months later. He's competed in multiple half Ironman races with the Tulsa Ironman being his second full Ironman. He was the first Oklahoman over the finish line in Tulsa. His time was 9:25 and with that time he qualified for the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. An amazing accomplishment and life trajectory and a huge inspiration to anyone that may be struggling with an addiction or even just motivation.   Looking for a coach? Noel's your guy!

My guest Anthony Simas and I have been online friends now for a while. I was introduced to him through another friend of mine. Anthony broke his neck and damaged his spinal cord while enjoying a weekend at his family cottage in the Toronto area leaving him a quadriplegic. Sharing his story and struggles on social media and the many speaking engagements he's been invited to, he's been able to shine a light on the positive aspects of his life despite his disability helping others realize their full potential even though they face adversity. Anthony has a documentary on his journey so far that should be dropping late this summer so look for that.  Anthony, it was a pleasure to have you on the podcast!

In this Podcast (also a video on Youtube - link below), I describe my entire Ironman journey, how I was able to overcome injuries and how I finish my first IRONMAN race in Tulsa, OK. One of Ironman‘s mottos is “nothing is impossible” and even though a few injuries made my race a little harder there are so many people that accomplish this challenging race with much more hardships than I experienced. I challenge and encourage you to sign up for a Half Marathon, Marathon, Half Ironman, or full Ironman so you can put yourself outside your comfort zone and finish something that you started. The life skills that I’ve learned from training for an Ironman are invaluable including proper nutrition, proper recovery, time management skills, and body awareness.  I wouldn’t trade this journey for anything in the world.

Thanks for listening.

With Naomi Osaka's fine and withdrawal from the French Open because she believes it isn't good for her mental health to take part in press conferences before and after each game... all I have to say is bravo! Thank you for standing up for what's right and for what you believe in and for putting yourself first before money, fame, and notoriety. Mental Health is something I'm passionate about and specifically what we can do to prevent mental health issues like anxiety and depression. We all have some form of mental health whether that's thinking about the future and becoming anxious or thinking about what's happened in the past and becoming depressed. Let's focus on the prevention of mental health issues. A number of ways to help us do that are by being aware of our thoughts, living in the moment, and taking the time as often as possible to meditate and focus on the right here right now.

If you have any questions about mental health, message me on Instagram @zachrancey or reach out through my website www.lifecoachzach.com

Have a great day!

My guest on this podcast is Michelle Diaz. Michelle is a meditation coach and energy healer. She's been meditating for about 20 years starting when she was 19. Through meditation, she's been able to overcome a lot of challenges she faced when she was younger and feels that it's a life journey that she will continue to practice for the rest of her life. She works with people 1 on 1 and also does workshops and she's doing something that I think is really important and interesting and that is introducing meditation and mindfulness to young children through workshops in schools and camps, planting the meditation and mindfulness seed early which will truly benefit the kids as they mature and go through life. Huge props for that Michelle!!  Michelle is also the co-author of the new book called "Level Up" which is available on Amazon where she collaborated with 12 other coaches from around the world each providing their own unique perspective. Thank you for being my guest Michelle.

I met Sergio during the Ironman race in Haines City, Florida a few weeks ago. He noticed me hyping up the runners before the run and then we connected again during the run when he passed me taking a walking break and basically told me to get my ass moving... Sergio has an amazing story on how he ended up competing in endurance races one that I think a lot of people can relate to and find value from hearing. He was able to take the insecurities he had about himself, his body, and the way he looked and completely turn them around building up his confidence to a level that just spread to all other aspects of his life. For his next endurance race he wants to achieve a 100 mile run and with his outlook, training, and mindset I have no doubt he will hit his goal.  Thanks for coming on the podcast Sergio!

Ryan Beckett is my guest on this podcast. Ryan is a friend of mine, a successful local Florida Realtor and Brokerage owner. To say he's an adventure seeker is an understatement. He's accomplished some pretty cool things to this point in his life. Ryan believes you don't really grow as a human unless you take yourself out of your comfort zone and he's definitely done that multiple times in his short life. From Triathlons, and Ironman competitions to biking from Florida to California for charity to sailing from New York to Florida, not to mention climbing Mt. Everest to the base camp. His accomplishments are inspiring to say the least. Some of you may remember Ryan from his two seasons on ABC's Bachelorette in 2015 or Bachelor in Paradise in 2016.

Our conversation centers around his latest adventure, which is tackling the Rim to Rim to Rim in the Grand Canyon. It's a 48-mile trek over rough terrain with varying altitudes and weather. This is a two-part podcast. I spoke to Ryan prior to him leaving for Colorado in late April and then again this past week after he had been home and rested up.  I hope this inspires you to take yourself out of your comfort zone. You never know what you can accomplish unless you try. Whether you succeed or fail it's all about the journey and the experience.
