00:30: Introduction

10:00: I grew up studying nutrition, I never heard of anything in fasting ketogenic diets. They were the things to avoid at all costs, right? So, I went to Rutgers University actually grew up in Allentown, New Jersey.

20:00: It's really a result of many things going on, but it's giving the brain an alternative fuel that allows the brain to function under these extreme environments. It also changes some of the neuropharmacologies of the brain in ways that we're just understanding now.

30:00: My wife is Hungarian and she and I went over there. They're eating brains, kidneys, and liver. I mean this is what they have every night. So it's a little strange and it was about the same time I met my wife and actually started doing ketogenic research about the same time. So now she has gotten to incorporate a lot more organ meat into our diets. We grew up hunting, the liver was what we would give to the dogs. We would never think about eating the deer liver, we would just dress the deer when we got home and just keep the neat stuff.

40:00: Kristi Storoschuk helps on so many projects, she's been like a godsend as our Head Writer. My student Andrew Koutnik is now Dr. Koutnik. He's type one diabetic and also does nutritional ketosis and gave a TEDx talk on nutritional ketosis. You can look them up, fantastic TEDx talks and is a new writer who's super educated and passionate about this.

51:00: I would tell people to check out the Metabolic Health Summit. I have a link to that on ketonutrition.org

54:00: Final Words

I'm a scientist, I'm a data-driven person, and I do experiments in the lab. But the thing that I think is really the cornerstone of my health is really good relationships, you know, with my wife, with my friends with my family. It's really important to prioritize relationships in addition to learning and in addition to nutrition. I think that's the key.

I think you ave to take a step back and look at what's important and really put that at the top, Then your passion for everything else will just come through. So I think for me, for my own health, mental health, and just health as a whole person, prioritizing those relationships is key.

Peter Pardini director of Chicago and FAT: a documentary.

00:30: Introduction

10:00: Geeking out about Wildfire, Wildland Firefighting, the fire seasons, and more.

20:00: Cal-Fire exists because California is so prone to wildfires because they are so big, they are so exposed, they are so dry, and they're so heavily populated. That's why they have such a huge budget and they literally call it Cal-Fire and California manages most of the wildfires themselves, with an impressive Air Force too.

30:00: You want us to go climb the highest peak on the planet? I mean, it's like for sure. It's an endurance feat and all that, but it's not exploratory. It's not really a wilderness experience. Whereas we spent the whole summer in the Pakistani Karakoram, for climbing an uncommon 7000-meter peak.

40:00: We want to buy real stuff from real people. We want to see people utilizing it authentically and well especially when you got some of your documentaries, some of your stories to share too.

51:30: Final Words

The importance of being bold, being safe, and being smart. Think about what you do and the influence you have on those around you. To just be working on creating the kind of world that we want to live in. It's kind of that simple. So that's what I would love to encourage to the listeners.

"Keep Your SA Up! – Quoted Scott W. Mulvaney

1. Staying alert and ready.
2. Don't freak out and stay calm.
3. Keep Your SA Up aka Keeping Your Situational Awareness Up.

00:30: Introduction

04:00: Overviewing the highway incident of flying scrap trash that almost went through Scott's windshield this week. Establishing why it's so important to keep your Situational Awareness up and alert.

11:40: Back to the point of Situational Awareness. The point of this episode is to help you align this topic into your Health, Business, and Lifestyle.

14:00: Your situational awareness actually improves as you've made mistakes or as you succeed too. Hopefully, you pause long enough to be aware of these things and to assess what happened in that situation.

16:30: Keeping your SA up is important when somebody decides to take a bottle to your head. Yeah, that happened to me. Not really that enjoyable. Plus, you know it took me down. I am six foot four inches and back then I was a good 200-205 lbs. So that's all it takes sometimes to take a bouncer of my size down by simply swinging a Rolling Rock glass bottle. You can't always plan on some dumbass and like two or three of his bros that are all hammered, you know, trying to surround you and distract you and then boom! I totally failed here back then on my situational awareness for sure!

23:00: I want to tie all of these examples back to the base of the story here which is using situation awareness across our lives. I had this emphasized when I was firefighting, I got to learn the true purpose of "Keeping Your SA Up."

28:00: Final Words

If you're trying to reach me from January 20 to January 27, 2020, Good Luck, Ha! You can follow me on Instagram and Facebook because I'll probably be posting a lot of fun content while we're skiing in Vail, Colorado. That's right we're heading back to go hang with the in-laws at their house in Edwards, Colorado.

00:30: Introduction

10:00: I was reading in the Wall Street Journal this week that about $1 trillion of decision-making is being done by folks between eight to fifteen-years-old. Snapchat is around 90% of that audience right now. So they're really concentrating on ads and the Wall Street Journal article went into trying to communicate with these companies need to synthesize the ads to both maybe spend 75% of the time speaking to the younger generation, because they do have some influence over maybe us as parents, and they're in the buying behavior for our children.

20:20: I always tell people you should understand where you live, the market around you, and especially if there are benefits, which you were hinting at. So let's pause on that. I never realized what my local community was about, it was about your local community and how there are tax benefits.

30:00: I just saw that there is a new technology, it's a tech platform, getting funded as such because it's basically just a chain of bars. However, they serve non-alcoholic drinks ONLY. They're capitalizing on the fact that people don't really see each other as much as they used to. It's a hot, hot space. I'm kind of wondering when there's going to be more technologies that actually force us to go non-digital and force you to sort of communicate, touch, feel, and see people that's like playing sports, doing exercises and stuff like that.

42:40: I used to do a lot more of the direct sort of financial planning and working with individuals. Now, I think to myself more of how can I make the product usable for a broader base because I'm not there to talk people through it. So it's a different way of thinking you know, running the business and when you run the business, you try to grow it the way that we're growing. It's different than if I were just trying to work individually and solve people's problems.

50:00: If you don't have passion for it, then why am I putting my dollars into it? I don't know that I agree. I want to feel good about where I'm going with my financial angle.

53:20: Final Words

For me, it's probably, always be giving. So if I'm in a position, I'm not saying that I'm the one that has all the resources and by no means do I do it, if that's the case. I have a couple of things. Don't keep score and always be giving because you never know, it's always better to be a giver if you're in a position to do so. You don't need to worry about people following you. I think it's just sort of a human thing. So over the years, I've tried to help friends find new positions, meet new people, or whatever it may be. That's just sort of what I've always done.

On today's new #FUELUP Friday I share a brief New Years Eve daytime phone call that inspired an important reminder on positive communications. We reflect on the importance of great verbal, written, and electronic communication skills to help you succeed in business and in life. We also drop a fun and random slang term for rude people, known as Douche Nozzle's, ha!

Douche Nozzle = (vulgar, slang, derogatory) A rude, obnoxious, or contemptible person.

1. Treat others as you wish to be treated.
2. Positive Verbal communication.
3. Proof your written and electronic communication.
4. BONUS: Don't forget to pause, take a deep breath.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/douche_nozzle

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=douche%20nozzle

00:30: Introduction

05:00: I've always worked through the local onsite land manager where we do trail building. Mostly we just try and keep the trails clear, you know, keep people happy. I'm a huge mountain biker, and I have no problem putting in some sweat equity. There are not many people who do this and I want to know that when I get down there, I could ride my bike and not have to worry about running into a blown down tree or storm damage. I bought all the toys, I got the chainsaws, I got the tools, I got the gear, so why not help out?!

10:00: Today's show is really about improving communication skills. So I decided that with #FUELUP Fridays, depending on where I'm at in my mental state. As you can tell, I might have been a little frustrated by that douche nozzle. I just don't respect people who don't respect me. You know, I truly believe in an age-old statement that you know you should do unto others, you know, and expect the same in return. Treat people like you want to be treated.

15:00: Take a little risk and let other people in. But so many of us have this wall up preventing this. Over three and a half years now going on four years of podcasting, I can actually thank this platform for helping drop that off and break those barriers down. That's why I want to kind of share this for today's FUEL UP Friday.

20:00: Now the book is coming. I tried to talk about too much because but I do it because I kicked myself in the ass and we are working on it later tonight. I gotta get the editing done.

28:00: Final Words

So our final words for today a summary of the importance of verbal communication, written communication, electronic communication. Don't forget to pause, take a deep breath, think about it, proofread it, and then move on.

Jacob Bustos is a chef, cooking coach, and food enthusiast who has been in the food business for twenty-four plus years. Jacob is passionate about eating healthy and has set out to make a positive impact after his own battles with morbid obesity.

Quote: Food, Faith, and Fun. – Jacob Bustos

1. Cooking and Portion Your Plate
2. Obesity and Gastric Bypass
3. Food Frenemy

https://blog.livligahome.com/2018/07/book-review-when-food-is-your-frenemy.html

https://www.livligahome.com/bariatric-s/1918.htm

00:30: Introduction

10:00: Chapter four is all about mindset. In fact, that's the title of the chapter, mindset matters. The mind is a powerful thing.

20:30: Even the science behind eating breakfast, one of the things I had to really force myself to do is the first thing I did was I even put a refrigerator in my bedroom. It's stocked with my protein drinks, which only have one gram of sugar and 30 grams of protein.

30:30: When I got home from the hospital after having gastric bypass, I literally started looking at what I could eat versus what I used to eat. I would put a plate next to another plate and I would put what my old portion used to look like. With my new portion I thought, wow, Portion Your Plate, that's kind of what I'm doing.

40:50: You need to have dinner with Condoleezza Rice. Oh my god she is inspirational. I spent probably five minutes with her. She had to be alone for 12 minutes, believe it or not, but I spent about five minutes with her. She told me something that I will never forget and that was the confidence you exude. In a room, no matter who is in that room, you may not be the most important person in the room. But you better act like you're the most important person and don't ever let anybody treat you any less than that. She said, putting on the confidence that you need to walk into a room is like putting on a jacket, you got to put it on. When you walk into a room with people, you stare at them straight in the face and you shake their hand, and you don't ever act as if you're less than the most important in the room.

50:00: Final Words

If there's one thing that I can do or if there's one thing that I can say that will make somebody else's life any better Scott and if my book just inspires one person to get after it and lose some weight, I will feel like I've done my job. The reality is that you can see my before and after picture there before I had 160 pounds in my after. I want to be able to impact just one person and if I can impact just one person, the whole book was worth me writing it. I never ever had a plan or a dream to write a book. I feel like this message is so important in the United States especially because there are some people who are suffering from morbid obesity.

If you're constantly watching drama TV, listening to the negative news networks, standing around the water cooler if you're at the job and listen to that person bitch and moan every single day about how their life sucks, or their wife sucks or their boyfriend sucks, etc, etc, etc. That is all, negative flow man, that's negative energy, so cut that crap out!

Maybe you're not ready to go to the gym yet, even though you set that goal on New Year's Eve, right? Oh man, I said I would go New Year's Eve. Oh well get over it. Try again tomorrow! Give yourself a break. Take a deep breath, make your lists, check them twice, and all that fun stuff.

Dr. Mark Fitzpatrick DC testimonial at www.goodnightssleepproject.com/bed-time-stories

00:30: Introduction

09:30: I'm anti-drug, especially with sleep drugs. She's tried three different fancy pillows. I now have one of the fancy pillows. I have no idea what brand it is, but I love it. She moved on to one with water in it, I didn't that was a thing.

20:00: That's pretty smart. How long did it take you guys? Did you actually outsource the app or because you were so techie, did you do it DIY in-house?

30:00: I tried to get influencers, various people that we knew to get to send in their testimonials and everything, so again this is the marketing. If you don't have this stuff, it's harder to sell. So we've been working on this since day one and you know, they're starting to come in more and more and it's getting there. We got a couple of chiropractors, you want the best testimonials you can get like Dr. Mark Fitzpatrick DC.

40:00: Blue Light Blocking to additionally aid in sleep health.

42:13: Final Words

What I've learned about health is that if you don't feel good, you treat everyone around you badly, you're short with them and all of your relationships suffer. If you feel good, you're nicer to people, like your wife, your kids, people at work, etc. So if I can help people sleep better, and relieve their problems without doing surgery on them, without giving them medications, without any of this other stuff, and it's a natural way to do it, I'm happy. That's the goal of this goal, it's called The Good Night's Sleep Project because that's the goal. We got seven nights a week. Can I get you from two good nights to three or four or five or even seven? That's like the overarching goal here.

I grew up on a farm in Southeastern Indiana, where my family worked hard to make ends meet. We raised beef cattle, crop farmed corn and soybeans, and even raised a garden from which we canned vegetables to preserve them for the winter. Chickens frequently ran around the barn lot, and I can remember climbing around on the stacks of hay with my sister to search for chicken eggs to be gathered for breakfast. There were seldom dull moments on the farm with the raising of animals, and it seemed like every week some pigs would escape from their makeshift fenced lot and make their way into the front yard, where they would root up the lawn with their noses, looking for fresh grub. This would generally turn into an eventful morning because we would have to turn the acre of sod back over and try to fit each piece back to where it came from, like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle. Tending to the farm was a never-ending job that consisted of grinding feed for the animals, baling and stacking hay for days on end, and endless hours behind the wheel of a tractor tilling the soil for planting.

Quote: “One of the biggest challenges that we face today regarding our health is the mixed emotions of who is responsible for it.” — Trent Mozingo Twitter: @MozingoDC

I am the youngest of four children; in order of oldest to youngest—Travis, Troy, Tiffany, and Trent (that’s me). As you can probably imagine, our names would get mixed up quite often. Travis and Troy are nine and seven years, respectively, older than me, and my sister Tiffany, is two years older. Tiffany and I grew up thick as thieves. We were always bouncing around the farm looking for adventures, probably a little spoiled because our older brothers were taking care of most of the grunt work of farm life. Travis and Troy were like mentors to me. I always wanted to be just like them, so I would spend as much time analyzing their every move as I could. Still to this day, I feel like the little brother that’s trying to follow in their footsteps.

Our parents allowed us a great deal of free-thinking growing up. We had strong principles such as “Work comes before play” and “Always help a neighbor in need.” These embraced our daily lives. It always seemed like farm life provided a lot more work than play, but looking back on the years of growing up, I can see how it’s how I got to this point of my life. There is no debate: hard work pays off. As I write this, I am nostalgic about the undeniable blessing that my life has received. Our parents were not hovering parents; they allowed and demanded us to take responsibility for our own actions. They also helped each of us build confidence within ourselves to take on the tasks that lay in front of us.

There were times that making ends meet were more difficult than others, but there was never a time that money was wasted on paying to do things that we could do ourselves. Ours was a small farm; that meant our equipment was old and not under warranty. When the tractor broke down, we had to fix it. When the lawnmower blades became dull, we had to sharpen them ourselves. When we wanted a treehouse, we had to build it.

The confidence that our parents instilled in us certainly started my brothers and me out on the right foot. I can remember, as a small child, lying on the dirt floor of our barn holding a wrench for Travis or Troy as they worked to put a new axle into the back of our combine harvester. That was so they could make it a four-wheel-drive machine instead of two-wheel. During the harvest season that year, it rained constantly, turning our fields into a muddy mess. Without four-wheel drive, our combine would have been unable to reap the crops; thousands of dollars would have been lost.

We had no formal education on mechanics. We had no teacher to explain how to do mechanical things. John Deere mechanics were not there to help us. We were gifted the opportunity to figure out on our own how things worked, and we had no choice but to do it. This started for each of us at a young age. I was lucky to be able to piggyback on my brothers’ already unbridled ability to diagnose what was wrong with something by learning the principles of how it worked. I can assure you this: if you want to know how to fix things, you have to know how it works.

You don’t know your full potential until you have no choice but to fulfill it. There were times that our wood splitter was inoperative and we needed wood to burn in the stove of our home to stay warm in the winter. We had to fix it. There were times that the corn planter was not applying the correct amount of seed. We had to fix it. There were times when a cow was struggling to birth the calf. We had to help. There were times that the hay baler would not tie the strings properly to secure the bale. We had to figure it out. As the years passed, it became apparent that the hands-on approach to learning how things work provided a strong database of mechanical knowledge for my brothers and me.

We acquired a strong understanding of how things worked. We came across machines on which we had never worked before, and we just applied our ingrained logical thinking. Thus, the easier it became for us to understand how to fix things.

00:30: Introduction

10:00: I knew you and I would geek out about farming. But I think it's interesting how a tie is ties back to a healthy lifestyle, weight management, nutrition, and lifestyle. What does DC mean to you? Doctor of Chiropractic.

20:15: There's a ton of value in massage therapy alone. 80% of the patients see massage therapy in my office as well.

30:30: You seem to be pretty headstrong human. That's a pretty important thing for overcoming stress. It's very important to overcome anything. A lot of patients find some sort of satisfaction or relief from being diagnosed with something because then it takes away some of the stress. It takes away their responsibility.

40:00: It's a preservative. It's a sugar byproduct. It's corn syrup.

49:50: What I touch on is their perception in the medical world, which is what a doctor hasn't told you because they see it backwards. They see everything backwards. They have studies released that eating eggs is comparable to smoking cigarette, no it doesn't make any sense. They have studies that says being overweight can cause heartburn or acid reflux. By the way, that study about the cigarettes thing was from a vegan doctor who has just been outed this year, that he actually never completed his doctorate.

01:04:16: Final Words

The most important thing is to take responsibility for your health. You're the only one, no one should be more excited about your health than you are. Once you get excited about it, there's a lot of really good answers out there. Now it's this movement to whole food health that's really changing a lot. There's not a single person that I know, that I've ever treated, that made 100% of the right choices. They've come in and they've had a week that went by that was stressful, terrible traveling, whatever it was, but we get back on the horse. They clean it up again and then they just kind of watch their health get better.

00:30: Introduction

07:37: My ROI to this day really has been strong. So a lot of my early work was through the centers, but I want to call a caveat here. It's still very stringent to go through the job application process. You can't just write show up. My business is still in place since 2001, exclusively representing people with disabilities.

14:55: I love the home services industry so much because it's so recession-proof. Because if we think about the idea that, let's suppose we're in a recession and your toilet bowl goes out, something goes up, you're not going to say, you know, let's put off waiting for the plumber for six weeks, you know?

18:00: I would say that your choice for having an education is just a tool in your toolbox. The question is what's your return on investment? I work with people today who tell me their MBA cost them $80,000. Okay, how long will it take for them to repay it? My total cost for my undergrad?

23:00: I was forced into this horrible situation and I remember having to make the decision to file bankruptcy. I was sitting on a curb, right outside the bankruptcy court sobbing my eyes out. I was wrapping up my masters and I'm thinking, what do I do next? I remember going back to my apartment and over the next two weeks, it was a foggy thing. Here's what happened. I received an envelope from Capital One.

25:30: Book editing was grueling. But you know once you make a journey to commit to a goal like a book, it is like giving birth without any kind of medicine and you just have to go for it.

30:00: I called about three weeks ago after my book launch. It took me 30 years to call them, 30 years! There's more to that. If you read my journey, everybody has a story. I just grew up in a very difficult home environment. I was 18 going on 19, I was attending Community College, SUNY Farmingdale, and it was evening class, wintertime, and I got a 911 page from my therapist. Judy never pages me and I remember picking up my books running out of the classroom. Back then we had payphones.

39:00: Here's the thing I want people to know. I want people to listen to this. If you listen to anything that I say, listen to this seriously. I want you to think about the lowest moments in your life and if you haven't had them, congratulations. For the rest of us, I want you to think about those moments. Then I want you to look in your mind's eye, and remember who was there. Those are the people that matter, not when you're wealthy, not when you've made it. The reason I dedicated my entire book to SUNY Farmingdale is that they believed in me before I believed in myself.

50:50: Final Words

Every action you have is premeditated because it had to happen at a thought level. Every thought, I mean, even if it's seconds, it's seconds in your thoughts. So if you want to change the view of your movie, just be mindful of your thoughts and who you're surrounding yourself with. I know that sounds cliché.

I think it really brings it down to what do you want to show up seeing every day? What responsibility do you have in making sure that you show up with the right intentions and the right actions?
