On This Episode You Will Hear:

PJ has a rare form of MS (Muscular Dystrophy). Such a rare form that it should have taken his life at the age of Seven. This year he turned 47.

Getting into Martial Arts. PJ has a pretty severe curvature of the spine and has limited movement in his arms and fingers since 2001. He had to find a way to use his body in other ways in Martial Arts.

"If you think you can or you think you can't, you're right" Henry Ford

PJ has jumped out of planes and done Aqua Jet Packing and looking at other extreme sports this next year. He finds a way.

Even though he cannot do things independently, he finds a way to do them.

Using retreats in masterminding and zip lining for the first time. He does these extreme activities because it gives him a sense of freedom. He uses his manual wheelchair as a metaphor, he could switch to an electric wheelchair but in his wisdom he see's that as giving up.

Embracing our fears. PJ is living that through and through. We are the directors of our own experiences. Life is meant to be about freedom.

"Live Life to the Fullest" Ernest Hemingway

 P.J. explains where all his names come from and the meaning behind them.

To Quest. A right to passage from boyhood to manhood

 The core to all his names is Love. PJ has been speaking on stage since the age of seven. A repeated vision of being hit by a car lead to a higher wisdom of gratitude.

Gratitude. Loving yourself so others can love themselves also.

 "Pain is inevitable and suffering is optional", Buddha

 Fear of letting go

Embracing the suck

 The primal brain taking over. Brotherhood and Sisterhood

Ego

 When you become complacent it can become dangerous. You absentminded, distracted and you lose focus.

 If you can't be with the one that you want be with the one that your with. Meaning appreciate what you have in the moment.

Final Words

You have the power. You have the ability to step up into your life in a way that makes an impact that changes people around you. When they look at you, you want to be doing things that inspire other people. If you are quiet and shy or just want to listen, that's okay.  You can do it on the side from a simple email to somebody, letting them know you care. Start by caring for yourself, start by loving yourself, start by identifying who you are and what you were born to do. That may not have anything to do with an actual career; it may have something to do with a passion you have. It doesn't matter what other people think. What matters is what you were born to do. Listen to your soul integrity. What is the one thing you were meant and need to do? Let's start there.

Holiday Solo Hosted Episode:

Welcome to a special, first ever, solo episode of the LIVETHEFUEL Show. We are here to FUEL Your Health, Business and Lifestyle over this holiday season. On this episode, I just wanted to give you a personal message to reflect upon some of the gratitude and appreciation that I think a lot of people skip over during the holiday season. I think a lot of us need to really push this out over the whole year, but unfortunately, things get in the way. Life, business, families, you name it, we all find the excuses. We and our fellow humankind often struggle with simplifying life.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

Defining Gratitude: The quality of being thankful, the readiness to show appreciation for and to return in kindness.

Expressing Gratitude for the first 34 episodes of this LIVETHEFUEL Podcast with 34 amazing Co-Hosts.

Growing up on a Dairy Farm, learning hard work and the first taste of Entrepreneurship

Working my way up the corporate ladder

 Reflecting where I came from and where I am today. Closing up my life and moving out west and focusing too much on myself. It took a while after some self-reflection to really start listening and start appreciating my family and life more.

 On Thanksgiving each year now I join a wonderful women by the name of Sister Mary Lanning of Yes! Solutions in Harlem, New York. Since 2010, I've joined them each year to make meals, from scratch, to serve over 2000 people that live on the street or are low-income families in the Harlem area.

 Committing to Christmas with the family. Make the time.

 Final Message.

DocBeast Dr. William Borde-Perry

DocBeast is a real ER doctor, a fellow CrossFit workout buddy, coach, and more! You have to ask yourself, why you want the things you do. When you do this, you can focus on what matters and start making steps towards that. To get you there quicker you also have to focus on You. Focusing on you is not being selfish. It will allow you to take twelve steps forward to achieving your Why. That is what this episodes co-host did. From being an unhealthy Doctor, Dr. William Borde-Perry transformed himself by focusing on him. After getting fit, it gave Will a new purpose in life, and it felt like he had been given superpowers. He became DocBeast, a brand that represents him perfectly. He is fitness certified by Insanity, CrossFit, with experience in Olympic Lifting, Mobility, Strongman; all while working at three different hospitals and being a loyal family man. The list of knowledge and credentials DocBeast has is endless. All of this is possible by focusing on himself to solidify his Why. The advice here is, always be a student in life and start to make a change in your life today

On This Episode You Will Hear:

The DocBeast brand was born in 2011. In 2009 Dr. William started his journey with Beachbody - Insanity Workouts. He was 270 lbs, he was out of breath all the time and he needed to lose weight. After he lost 50 lbs and got fit it felt like he had superpowers. People would refer to him as "Beast" and he was a Doctor so after different iterations "DocBeast" stuck.

Growing up Dr. William done some weight work but not as focused as he has been since he began CrossFit and BeachBody. After improving his diet with protein and vegetables, he began to realize how much he could lift. Fitness has opened up the whole world to him, its transformed him physically and who he is.

Growing up, his Mom would not let his sister and him play sports. He was born and raised in Newark New Jersey part of a single parent house hold. Dr. Williams Mom wanted them to focus on academics. When he wasn't studying he would sneak mini work outs in his room.

Without fitness, he felt he became very sluggish but with it he felt energized, it brought friends and an education. He utilized a lot of his education in the medical field, he used a lot of his education in the Molecular Biology to educate himself further. As he got older he moved from using fitness as something that makes him look and feel good to helping others achieve that.

Dr. William has found that when it comes to people who don't exercise or choose not to have educated themselves in nutrition, they are more depressed and less motivated.

The importance of Self development and focusing on your 'Why'.

Putting our best self into our 'Why'. If you don't put yourself first there will nothing of you later on. If you just sacrifice just 30 minutes per day to exercise and focus on your nutrition you can actually give back more to your 'Why'. It is an investment into yourself. You are going to take one step back to give yourself some time and focus so you can take twelve steps forwards.

Putting your best self forward. DocBeast is not a self made man, its all the influences and mentors around him that have got him to this point.

What is the legacy you are leaving behind or the legacy you are building to leave behind.

Dr. William works with three different hospitals. Reason for this is each brings their own experiences. Each experience gives Dr. William different ways to approach and learn new things.

Finding communities, support and self development.

Isogenix and BeachBody and building side income.

Lifestyle. Being and unhealthy Doctor. It took Dr. William over a year to get into shape. His diet has gone from drinking milkshakes to whole clean foods, drinking nutrition shakes and lots of vegetables and lean meats. How inflammation is tied to disease.

How the nutrition shakes are processed, in a good way.

Fat... Understand It, Know It, Beat It:

Knowledge is power and a lot of us certainly have not been educated when it comes to understanding Fat. On this episode, we talk with Dr. Sylvia Tara. Sylvia holds a PhD in biochemistry from the University of California at San Diego and an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. She was a consultant with McKinsey & Company and has worked at some of the world’s largest biotechnology companies. She lives in the Los Angeles, California area. Sylvia is now the author of  The Secret Life of Fat. The book brings together years of research to reveal its' true identity... as an endocrine organ. The right amount, is critical to our health.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

What got Dr. Sylvia into Biochemistry and more specifically into Fat

We think of this as excess calories from overeating which triggers it to be stored for later use. We have too much and we must get it off right away. We actually need to stop living the "Low Fat's" lifestyle and get back to Healthy Fats. It is actually an endocrine organ, meaning it is producing hormones that are releasing into our bloodstream. Our bodies depend on those hormones for so many things. These cells keep our immune system, along with our bones strong. Even our brain size is linked to healthy fats.

The hormone that your fat produces and distributes is called Adiponectin. It helps guide it back to your fat tissue through your blood stream. It helps clear the blood of Triglycerides and also toxins.

Visceral fats, Nutritional Cleansing, fasting and sending your organs on vacation

Intermittent fasting

What is a calorie

Know your fat and understand it

Fat is an obsession, it's a dirty word. The four letter word "Diet"

Position on liposuction

We are all born with a certain amount of stable fat cells.

Obesity. Our bodies are good at adapting to the environment. Our stem cells can even create fat cells in the absence of food.

You are not just shrinking a reserve of calories, you are shrinking an organ. Leptin is a hormone that your fat cells produce. It's the “Master Hormone" That Regulates Body Weight and is tied to a lot of your major organs including your brain.

#NSNG

Human Growth Hormone. The body creates it's own HGH, Dr. Sylvia shares examples of when it is naturally produced.

The benefits of fasting, detoxing and your body cleaning itself out

The Grain Brain

Understanding your body vs diets

Looking to lose 10lb's in the next 24 hours. A free give away on Dr. Sylvia's website

Take the time to understand what this is and what it actually does for your body. Weight loss is really hard. There is not a quick fix, it's about a new lifestyle.

Using chocolate as a reward during a fasting period.

Willpower. It's like a battery, you have to put in the reps to keep it charged.

A traditional MD or the average everyday Doctor does not know anything about nutrition.

There is no cookie cutter solution. We are all different.

Your ab's are not made in the gym, they are made in the kitchen

Put in the reps, hone your craft

Kristy Jo Hunt. Throwing out the scales. Using archaic BMI readings

Dr. Jarrod Spencer Sports Psychologist Mind of the Athlete Founder

You don't have to suffer in silence. Your emotional health can have a massive impact on your performance. Today's Co-Host can help lay the path to a clearer mind. On this episode we complete the set with Sports Psychologist Dr. Jarrod Spencer founder of Mind of the Athlete. A spiritual calling lead to the creation of a sports psychology company with the mission to help improve the emotional health of athletes. Now with a book Mind of the Athlete: Clearer Mind Better Performance.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

What made Psychologist Dr. Jarrod create Mind of the Athlete?

What does it really mean to be tough?

The biggest commonality they are finding among college athletes is they are incredible tired, emotionally overwhelmed, over scheduled, over extended and on average the college athlete is sleeping six hours per night. There not getting the recommended 9.2 hours of sleep that they need for great optimal performance. If you do not have good sleep and are not well rested you will see a spike in anxiety, depression and frustration.

In 2016 Psychologist Jarrod was brought in to an insurance company called Kelly, three days each month to roll out there Mind of the Leader training. Mind of the Leader is a brand off of Mind of the Athlete containing much of the same content but packaged for business clientele.

The Mind of brands are based off of the book by Jack Canfield Chicken Soup for the Soul.

Mind of the Athlete took off as a company four years ago.

S. Truett Cathy founder of Chick-fil-a, was a big influence on Psychologist Jarrod. His first mentor was the boxer Larry Holmes. They started a TV show together called 'What the heck were they thinking'

 Larry taught Psychologist Jarrod, no matter where you go, really engage and be kind to people. It doesn't matter who you are or how famous you get its really about staying humble and staying connected. A quote from Sports Illustrated:

"Larry you've made millions and millions of Dollars in your life time, why don't you live in New York city with all the other famous people?" He said "Well, if I lived in New York City I would have to keep up with the Joneses but if I stay here in Lehigh Valley people have to keep up with the Holmeses" 

 Power of community and the power of the people you are surrounding yourself with

 Mind of the Athlete book foreword by Matt Millen 4x Super Bowl Champion.

 Getting people to think differently, getting them to understand how the mind works best.

 What Millennials are looking for the most is a mentor but the spot when people are true and when they are not.

 They find that the athletes are easier to get through. It's the coaches that are harder to receive and understand the messaging. A third of the coaches love what they do, the middle third are open to it and the final third believe what they are doing is making the athletes "Soft".

 When the student is ready the teacher will appear

 Pioneering mental health in sports and in society

 Mind of the Athletes YouTube channel has over 500 videos. Providing the right medium for the right audience

 Receiving a heart felt phone call

 Mind of the Athlete: Clearer Mind Better Performance

 When selling your book, put together bundles or packages

 Bringing in a spiritual level when appropriate
