  • 273: Strength in Vulnerability, Transparency, Truth, and One Last Talk Movement
    International Speaker, Writer, Filmmaker, and Strength in Truth and Vulnerability Advocate:

    Philip works with entrepreneurs and business leaders all over the world. When people are seeking clarity about their future or want to move through roadblocks, seen and unseen, they call Philip. As a speaker, he has inspired and challenged the Canadian Olympic Team and The Pentagon to name a few. He is also the founder and is spearheading the One Last Talk™ movement.

    Quote: “A mid-life crisis is nothing more than your life decisions catching up with you.” - Philip McKernan

    He helps people get clear on who they are and where they need to go. He helps them transition in their personal and professional lives so people feel aligned in all areas of life. Philip believes who and what we do ‘off the ice’ has a huge impact on our results ‘on the ice’. His groundbreaking Team Deepening™ work with organizations gives teams a refreshing way to connect and build real and collective resilience.

    What separates Philip from a lot of coaches, speakers and gurus is originality. He brings new conversations to the table and spends an obscene amount of time thinking and challenging the status quo, instead of simply repackaging business & life hacking strategies. Philip McKernan is a philosopher, a modern day philosopher of the human experience. His pioneering philosophy around SoulSet™ equips and empowers people to uncover their gifts and impact the world.

    With a knack of getting into all sorts of scenarios – he’s caddied in golf for the President of Ireland, been chased and nearly killed by a bull elephant in Nigeria and made wine in Australia. He has traveled to 80 countries around the globe, built an orphanage in Peru, written 5 books despite being dyslexic and created his first documentary film called Give & Grow. The film explores how the gift of giving makes us feel more worthy and alive. It also explores the science behind the impact of giving on our emotional well being, our mental health, our physiology, and our businesses.

    Philip believes the path to a happy and fulfilling life is found through the meaning we derive in life through the WORK we do, our relationship to OTHERS and the most important relationship of all, the one with one’s SELF.

     

    Top 3 Hot Points:
    1. Embracing Vulnerability
    2. Finding Strength in Truth
    3. Team Deepening

    Final Words:

    There is nothing wrong with teambuilding, however the the research is showing that people want to \"connect\" more. There\'s a whole body of research called Self-Determination Theory. Details linked above.

    Let\'s say three people want to connect and they want three things they want to be competent at with what they do. They want to be authentic in their own lives and want to connect deeply with themselves and people around them. All while deepening and our methodology behind that delivers to the three.

    We believe that when you deliver authenticity and connection, your productivity increases automatically. So therefore, competency actually gets better. So we deliver two out of three with influence in the third as a byproduct to that. That\'s the mission we\'re on until I die.

    • [spp-timestamp time=\"00:30\"] Introduction
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"11:00\"] The only way you can deepen the relationship on earth is by giving somebody a genuine says sense of vulnerability. Sharing something that perhaps they didn\'t know about you, sharing something that you didn\'t necessarily want to share with that person.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"20:00\"] Group events. You\'re not just one on one, you\'re surrounding yourself with your peers. Everybody\'s sharing their weaknesses or their opportunities together. There\'s a lot of energy coming out of that. We live in a world today that doesn\'t reward you for showing your weaknesses and rewards you for being successful.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"30:00\"] I could have spent 26 years doing this, but I\'m awake now after these last 6 years. It\'s judgment, the minute the judgment comes in, there is no opportunity for growth. I was definitely very judging on myself years ago.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"40:00\"] Launching the book, One Last Talk. Yeah, absolutely huge hesitations. The day it went out I was scared shitless about what the world would think. Live on Facebook, I opened the first copy of the book and my son was there. It was quite surreal. I\'ve dedicated that book to the men and women who\'ve done the One Last Talk\'s and the men and women who are going to do them. So I just made a little promise to myself that I\'ll never sign a copy of the book, which is about me giving homage to these men and women because it\'s really all about them.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"50:00\"] Impressions only come with people in connection. It doesn\'t mean that you\'re in the wrong job, it doesn\'t mean you have to leave it, it means that you need to understand that. It\'s not until you start impacting the world.

    On This Episode You Will Hear:
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"00:30\"] Introduction
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"10:00\"] About since I was 21, my brother got Crohn\'s disease when he was 17. After about 35 years of studying this, we found that we can use liquid silver combined with probiotics, in a regular basis over a long period of time to keep that inflammation down. He\'s 60 years old now and he\'s lived a great life.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"11:00\"] By the time I got done, I had finished for clinical trials, and did all the toxicology on 900 patients. I documented a cure for malaria.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"20:00\"] I\'ve not yet launched the audiobook. I just haven\'t slowed down enough to go into the recording studio and record it myself. I\'ve been too egotistical to let someone else do it.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"30:00\"] I\'ve worked with and trained people like Arnold Schwarzenegger, marathon runners, Olympians, and more.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"40:00\"] You got a little bit of experience with proteins and amino acids. Didn\'t you basically help bring about one of the first protein powders to the market? Yes, the very first one and the very first double blind placebo controlled study in Muscle and Fitness. I published my name on it, you can probably go look it up 30 years ago.

  • 271: Forefront Goals and Your Attention To Detail
    Improve Your Attention to Detail, Set Goals in the Forefront, Discussing StrengthsFinder, and More:

    Chris Denny is a researcher, trainer, consultant, and business owner. When he is not running a business or spending time with his family, he is researching attention to detail or helping others become more detail-oriented.

    Chris delivers training workshops and seminars for companies and government organizations and conducts one on one coaching for high-value employees. Attention To Detail training is available via online courses.

    *Goals must be out on the forefront to target them. - Chris Denny

    The seed of Attention To Detail Solutions started in 2010 when Chris had an employee who was technically strong and generally valuable, aside from his low attention to detail. After searching for a book or training and finding nothing that would help, Chris started to create something that could help. He had inadvertently found a passion and after 6 years of exhaustive research, hundreds of surveys, and dozens of interviews, Chris emerged with the Attention To Detail Training™ system.

    Since 2008, Chris has owned a marketing agency that is now largely operated by a small staff who allow him to focus mainly on consulting, training, and research. His training and speaking style is personal and interactive with a great deal of open discussion to ensure participants are fully engaged and getting maximum value for the time they spend in Attention To Detail Training™ workshops and seminars.

     

    Top 3 Hot Points:
    1. Contrastive
    2. Analytical
    3. Additive

    *Goals must be out on the forefront to target them.

    Final Words:

    You always have to have the goal and it must be set out there. Whether it\'s a place, a time, or an objective. The details are what take you there properly, efficiently, and successfully. I always like to make sure people understand that the two are not mutually exclusive in conversation or in reality correlation. You need one with the other in order to achieve it successfully. The big picture here is make sure you keep that in mind. However you do it, with whatever system you use, planners, whiteboards or whatever.

     

    Influencers Mentioned:
    • StrengthsFinder now CliftonStrengths at GallupStrengthsCenter.com

     

    On This Episode You Will Hear:
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"00:30\"] Introduction
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"10:00\"] That\'s the point, that\'s where some of the stress comes from, people worrying about the same things.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"20:00\"] The other part of that is that it\'s very systemized. That\'s where contrast of attention to detail is why the big fast food chains can be run by 16 year olds. So you end up having these billion dollar organizations that are largely operated by kids.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"30:00\"] The whole theme behind StrengthsFinder is you could be spinning your wheels, trying to fix a weakness that you have, or you could channel most of your energy into the your natural strengths.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"40:00\"] Typically, the person who I hear from is one of three people. It\'s the talent development person, like the director of talent development. Second, it could be a VP level influencer. Third, it is a receptionist or an admin that is tasked with helping improve the company.

So and whether they\'re that no matter what they\'re trying to do in their life, or you\'re trying to do in your life, I guarantee you 100% success, that you will reach everything that you want if you just don\'t quit.

    When my students come to me and say I need advice, I\'m going to start a business, we sit down and we look at it like belts. In six months you can\'t give up on this because you\'re only a blue belt. What does your business goal look like when you\'re a brown belt? What are we going to call a brown belt? What are we going to call a black belt? So I asked my people, where are you on your 10-year plan?

    • [spp-timestamp time=\"10:00\"] I\'ve got a guy who just tested for fifth-degree black belt. He\'s seventy years old. He can\'t do what everybody else can do. But he is out there. He works out about 10 hours a week in my school. Everybody thinks martial arts is for kids. However, two-thirds of my students are adults.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"21:30\"] Explain for the listeners who don\'t know what a kata is. I\'ll let the master here explain what it\'s like. A prearranged sequence of moves that teach, it transmits the moves forward in time. So if I teach you the Kata, it will have all the moves of that system, the blocks, the kicks, the punches, the traps, the sweeps, all of those things.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"30:00\"] As we kept moving along, we have realized that the real problem here is not the video, it\'s not getting results. Having traffic or your website\'s terrible? We started expanding our services into all of these other areas. So we could serve the client because the video wasn\'t the issue.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"41:00\"] That\'s a really important day when I started saying that to people. Putting my big boy pants on and saying, that is not actually in our wheelhouse. We could do it. But it\'s not what I want to do. Here\'s somebody else who can do it far better than I can, so go there.

  • 269: Fitness Entrepreneur Lifestyle, PANS & PANDAS
    Father, Husband, Entrepreneur, Coach, and Author. Welcome, Pat Rigsby:

    I guess if I were going to sum it up in 5 words, those would be the five. But I’m going to share a little more in hopes that my journey can be of a little help to you in your own.

    I’m a 46-year-old guy that has built his share of successes from the ground up…and more importantly, have a beautiful wife, two incredible boys and a business that allows me to spend most of my time with them along with family and friends.

    Quote:

    If you do what you said you were going to do each day, then you will get what you said you were going to get.

    In the past decade, I’ve built over a dozen businesses as a CEO and Co-Owner, with five becoming million dollar or multi-million dollar ventures. Two of those businesses, Athletic Revolution and Fitness Revolution, have been multiple time winners on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 with each being the #1 franchise for its respective market. Another business, Fitness Consulting Group, was a multiple time honoree on the Inc. 5000, placing as high as #580 on the list of fastest growing businesses in the U.S. I’ve also been a Best-Selling Author 6 times over, presented in front of thousands of entrepreneurs and been featured in Entrepreneur, Men’s Health, USA Today and on hundreds of other media outlets.

    “When it comes to sales, I’ve personally sold as many as 116 franchises in a single year and been the strategist and copywriter for over 10 million dollars in online sales from my own businesses and millions more in sales for my clients.”

    In the fitness industry alone, my coaching & consulting clients have been featured in places like Men’s Health, USA Today, Men’s Fitness, Shape, Women’s Health, Huffington Post and on ABC, CBS, NBC and pretty much any other media outlet you can think of. They’ve built some of the most successful businesses and brands in every corner of the industry. Everything from local business and supplement companies to online businesses, certification organizations. They even became best-selling authors. In fact, many (if not most) of the experts providing business coaching in the fitness industry have been my clients, customers or franchisees.

    And the best part of this? I’ve been able to do all of these things and more while working from home, coaching my kids in baseball and soccer and enjoying a type of entrepreneurial lifestyle I would have never thought possible just a few short years ago.

     

    Top 3 Hot Points:
    1. Entrepreneurial Teams
    2. Lifestyle Balance
    3. PANS & PANDAS Awareness

    Final Words:

    If you\'re in the entrepreneurial world or even if you\'re just somebody who wants to be a high achiever in your career, listen in. Professional and personal success aren\'t mutually exclusive things you can have them both but you\'re probably not going to have them both by accident. You need to plan and you need to make sure that you are moving towards those goals each and every day. If you do that, you can be pretty amazed about what you can accomplish.

    On This Episode You Will Hear:
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"00:30\"] Introduction
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"10:00\"] It\'s great now with social media because we get such quick feedback. When I started in the business world, you were going to do more direct mail for marketing. Spending a lot of money and waiting for a pretty significant amount of time for feedback.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"20:00\"] It allows them to stay pretty close to what they consider their wheelhouse and still do what they need to do, from a business standpoint. They have the type of business that they set out to have when they started in the first place.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"30:00\"] It\'s not only your time, but it\'s your fulfillment from what you\'re doing. Getting caught up having to be the guy doing all the podcast editing and all the other stuff, and then all of a sudden the podcast gets to be a lot less fun for the host. I\'m just a big believer in doing the things that are not only my best financial ROI but also the best fulfillment of me spending my team too.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"40:00\"] Alex\'s PANS. Alex has kind of a milder, case. I look at the infectious triggers that are so common. It\'s really scary because it\'s often misdiagnosed.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"51:00\"] This is kind of a two-fold challenge. I think a lot of autoimmune conditions kind of operate this way. But I wouldn\'t profess to be an expert on any of it. We\'ve got to kind of put out the fire. You have to get his immune system to calm back down. Then it just gets back to prevention. Good gut health is crucial. Just making sure that the body is operating the way it\'s supposed to. It\'s not just always having to deal with the ramifications of sugars or grains but also a lot of the processed stuff.

    Final Words:

    Someone doesn\'t have to be formally trained in something to apply it to life. I think that a lot of people think that I\'m not an evolutionary biologist. You\'re not traditionally trained in nutrition, but our life experience has given us the knowledge to apply that to our lives and help people in different ways to apply that to theirs.

    I would encourage people to not be so narrow-minded when it comes to accepting advice from people. Let\'s listen to their story, listen to how they got there. Take from them what you will learn and try to learn something from them. Even if you don\'t end up doing what they recommend, you can take what you can from their story and what they learned. See if you can apply it to your life.

     

    On This Episode You Will Hear:
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"00:30\"] Introduction
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"12:00\"] When we have an injury, your body learns a new way of functioning to protect or get around that injury. When the injury heals, or say you had the surgery, things get a little bit more back to normal function. The body doesn\'t necessarily unlearn that way of functioning.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"20:00\"] Consumers were not getting health insurance because it was too expensive, or they weren\'t using it. That was throwing a wrench into the whole system. This whole for-profit system goes between practitioners, insurance companies, and pharmaceutical companies. They did this thing to protect the whole system, which made everybody have to get mandatory health insurance.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"31:00\"] I\'ve developed an initial consult that, this sounds kind of bad, but kind of weeds out the people that aren\'t ready to make the changes necessary. Lots of people come to me expecting that I can give them something they can take. They sometimes expect that I can do something to them that will cure them. However, then they can go back to living their life the exact same way.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"40:00\"] Interesting thing about diabetes, this is one of my favorite things that I\'ve come across. One thing about evolution is that people don\'t realize that humans are supposed to hit optimal evolution. We\'re still evolving now. So one piece of evidence for that is when you go through medical school, you\'re learning about diabetes, and metabolic syndrome and heart disease and things like that. We see a higher incidence and prevalence in people of minority descent compared to people of European descent. So Pacific Islanders, African American, Native American, these people are more susceptible to these diseases, they get them more readily and more severely.

    Final Words:

    Every decision I make in my business is based on who\'s going to do the work. Is it me? Or is it someone else? If it\'s me that has to do the work then I don\'t want to do this, I don\'t want to pursue this project. That\'s the way you make decisions towards getting your way down from 50 hours a week to 38 to 27 to 17. Who\'s going to do the work is it me or is it someone else? It\'s got to be someone else or we can\'t pursue and that\'s lifestyle balance.

    • [spp-timestamp time=\"00:30\"] Introduction
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"11:00\"] I know India has different dialects. The Philippines does too. One of the great things about the Philippines is that English is the first language there. They\'ll teach Math and English in elementary school.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"20:00\"] You can have this person do anything you\'re willing to teach them to do. Now, obviously, in the beginning, I taught this guy a marketing process. You shouldn\'t hire a programmer to write this content. Don\'t hire an audio editor and say, hey, also do my SEO. In the beginning, I hired a general VA.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"30:00\"] If you\'re telling me that you\'re the ultimate hustler, and you\'re putting in 60 to 80 hours a week, that\'s a concern. What you\'re showing me is that you haven\'t figured it out. You don\'t have a continuation game plan. That\'s my concern, you didn\'t build a business, you built a job.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"40:00\"] I\'ve seen lots of people go through this. I couldn\'t hire someone to do what I needed. It wasn\'t cost effective here, however, it was cost-effective in the Philippines. My business grew where my business would have failed. I then reached a point where I could afford to hire someone here in the USA. I love Filipinos because they have created jobs in the US too.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"52:00\"] The ending advice that I always give is, you have to try it. You have to try this and see if it works for you. If you don\'t try it, you\'ll never know. If you tried it and it doesn\'t work, at least you know. It only costs you a couple of hundred bucks. If it does work, the upside is so high. The risk here is so out of proportion of the reward. You just have to try and see what happens, that\'s what I went through.

  • 266: Goat Rancher to Duodenal Switch to Marketing Entrepreneur
    Today\'s Lifestyle Podcast is with Michael Giannulis, a Goat Rancher, Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Participant, Duodenal Switch Surgery Recipient, Turned Marketing Entrepreneur.

    Michael Giannulis (Gee-uh-NEW-liss - kind of like “Gee, a new list” because after all, he’s in marketing!) has overcome the odds and loves to share that story to inspire others. Mike especially thrives on connecting with entrepreneurs to motivate them to “do big things” in the world.

    Quote: Life rewards those who take action, not those who take notes. - Michael Giannulis

    Mike’s story begins in an average family where he had to work for everything he had. He started “at the bottom” and worked his way into the American Dream. In fact, Mike dropped out of high school, went back to get his degree and even went to college… ending up on a popular reality TV show. As a guy who started his working life stocking shelves on the overnight shift at a giant retailer, Mike has seen the spectrum.

    FUEL FANS: onlyonemike.com/livethefuel

    Now Mike grows and scales companies, using real-world experience to make this happen. His most recent company is on track to do $40 million in gross revenues. He is a serial entrepreneur who develops systems to help other entrepreneurs run multiple companies without having to be there.

    In 2012 Mike appeared on the ABC television show Extreme Weight Loss, losing 255 pounds. He has overcome a stutter. He has gone from the bottom of the corporate ladder to the top of the mountain… and he loves helping others do the same.

     

    Top 3 Hot Points:
    1. Healthy Lifestyle Choices
    2. Extreme Weight Loss Gained Back
    3. Success Is Not A Straight Line

    Final Words:

    If there\'s anything that I\'m proof of, its that success is not a straight line. There are ups and downs, zigzags and turnarounds. Everything is a continuation of where you came from, and where you\'re trying to go. So I would say for people that are out there, whether it\'s your business or your health, or whatever it is you\'re trying to focus on, just know that it\'s going to be a process.

    I believe in that a lot, just look for feedback. The funny thing about feedback that I tell people all the time is that feedback usually comes in the form of a problem, a complaint or an issue. That\'s how feedback comes to us.

    • [spp-timestamp time=\"00:30\"] Introduction
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"05:00\"] We bought 500 dairy goats. Not only that, they were all pregnant. They were all set to have kids and in about the same month!
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"10:30\"] There\'s always someone else that comes up to me after and says, just so you know, you were not a goat farmer, you were a goat rancher. Farmers deal with crops and ranchers deal with animals.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"20:00\"] Well, I don\'t want to go out and eat chicken and broccoli, I could do that at home for four bucks. So then you are like, well, I want to get the chicken marsala. I mean, you want to get like the fancy thing. That\'s my problem, I controlled it to an extent. I gained back all of the weight after the show ended.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"30:00\"] I connect with people that are very big, like 100 plus pounds overweight. There\'s not a lot of people that have been there and gone through that. I tell people you\'re not going to do this by waking up at 5 am on a random Monday. Then try to run three miles, hitting the gym and drinking your egg protein shake. The human body can\'t make that much of a leap. The bridge has to be very small so you will be able to walk it. After all, I lost 255 pounds and that was over 12 months.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"39:40\"] I really want to make sure that I\'m around for a long time for my future kids. Being fat from the age of four means that I never made a conscious choice to be overweight. My mom and my family cared for me a lot. My mom worked all of the time so she was never home. She was a single mom so I grew up with my grandparents. My grandma was from Alabama and she stated that we fry everything. Everything was just fried, fried, fried.
    • [spp-timestamp time=\"46:00\"] I think even now, being a business owner, I\'ve gotten to the point where I like the business behind business. I\'m getting better at creating ideas and putting together teams to build those ideas into reality. I\'ve enjoyed that a lot more than the operational side. I enjoy solving problems.

    Final Words:

    If you love yourself, your life is going to shift and you loving yourself sounds really super easy. It's really not, you have to grind. You know, you've really got to know yourself to love yourself. And you really can't love someone else. Unless you love you any way you'd be giving some sort of a famed love but it's okay to set boundaries. You know, boundaries are not to hurt or to harm others. It's just to keep the good and get the bad out.

     

    On This Episode You Will Hear:
    • [spp-timestamp time="00:30"] Introduction
    • [spp-timestamp time="05:30"] I agree 100% and I'm very much of a coach, I'm not your passive listener, a canned psychologist that regurgitates back to you what you feel.
    • [spp-timestamp time="12:00"] I lived in Leadville for a couple of years, that little town where the Leadville 100 race is.
    • [spp-timestamp time="20:30"] But it is so toxic for me, so detrimental to my self worth, so many limiting beliefs created. It was crazy-making, I can't prove a look at the disgust on someone's face. I can't prove a tone of voice, everything can be gaslighting.
    • [spp-timestamp time="30:15"] As a child, you don't know that your parents are in need of change. You don't have the ability to process that in your brain yet. It really takes until you're in your adulthood to recognize what toxic is I knew things weren't right as a kid I knew but I couldn't explain why. I couldn't explain why. If I did, it would get gaslighted and turned around on me.
    • [spp-timestamp time="40:00"] If anything, if you had decency in your being, she allowed her emotions to get the best of her and her self centeredness to get the best of her. I would think a couple of days later, you'd have like some guilt, or some resolution happening. It's like oh my god, what did I do? You know what, maybe I need to put the olive branch out there? I need to reach out to her like, I feel like a complete POS.
    • [spp-timestamp time="51:40"] The number one reason people leave their job is they don't like their boss. If it's sick at the top, whether it's corporate America or your family, the trickle effect is it's going to be sick at the bottom. It's that chemical we talked about at the beginning of the show that just slowly moves through the system who poisons it.
