CoreFit teaches us patience:

 

I love to go out and meet with my co-host's live and in person. Today I am at a local chiropractor office here in Allentown, Pennsylvania. We are meeting with a newly independent entrepreneur and chiropractor here in 2016. A husband of an old friend of mine as well, it's a small world. Today lets welcome Dr. Mark Walter of CoreFit Chiropractic to the LIVETHEFUEL Show.

This episode with Dr. Mark is about reprogramming you. We all look for the quick and easy solutions. A pill won't solve everything.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

Where Mark is now and his background journey to getting there

Hotshots and Smoke Jumper Firefighters

Dislocating a rib - Transverse Process

Including Chiropractic as a pain management method and moving away from the "Alternative" stigma the field had been labeled in

Addiction - "If you are a hammer, all you are going to see is nails"

You are what you eat

 With standard MD education you would be lucky to receive two hours of education on nutrition. We have been marketed to, that you will find the answer to everything through a pill.

 DC - Doctor of Chiropractic, DO - Doctor of Osteopathic

 We all look for a quick easy solution. We have to look whats going on dietary, one of the biggest problems we have is to do with inflammation.

 Inflammation is like a fire going on inside of your body. How healthy are you to put that fire out?

 What an adjustment is vs a mobilization is

The Balance Equation

 Saying "I want to Quit Something" or "Lose Something", is setting you up for immediate failure. This creates a physiological reaction and a feeling of loss. Use words like, "Replace" and "Get rid of".

 People just don't realize how unbalanced they really are

 It's a lifestyle and a journey not a destination

 Listen to you body, know what your strengths and weaknesses are and know when to cut back. A lot of people don't do enough mobility work, stretching etc

 Neuromuscular control, swimming and gymnastics - Reprogramming your software

The InstaGuy Grows Your Instagram:

Today's co-host, he is a fellow Podcaster, a blogger, a former competitive bodybuilder and his last corporate gig was in the mechanical engineering field. Most recently he has launched his new brand, "The InstaGuy.co" He helps entrepreneurs and business owners grow their following and brand on the social platform Instagram.

Tony doesn't just talk about Instagram on this episode. We dive into his Vietnamese background, how important education is to an immigrant family and how Tony went from a scrawny 110lb High School Graduate to putting on 45lb's in a year to enter the world of competitive bodybuilding.

On this Instaguy episode you will hear:

Mastermind groups and the Fire and Adjust Podcast

He went into the mastermind with a brand in mind, which was really broad and not niched down enough. The health and fitness market was very over saturated. After niching down Tony's first brand he created within Sololab was The Fit Asian Man.

The Diet and nutrition part of bodybuilding strained his willpower more than the training

The Ab's are not made in the gym, they are made in the kitchen

When he graduated High School in 2006, he was really scrawny, weighed 110lb full clothed and was 5 ft 8". When he started college thats when he started working out. Tony's first interest in bodybuilding peaked in 2010.

Meal Prep

Packed on 40+lb's. It took a year to do. It was a commitment, this was not a short term goal, this a long term goal. People always focus on the short game with that bad four letter word, DIET.

The Tupperware Lifestyle

Translating bodybuilding to business, Solopreneurship and connecting the dots to his new brand

Getting the reps in. Bringing in anchor clients to help them out and get testimonials from them

Case study: Tony is growing Michael O'Neal's @Solohour Instagram account. When he started he was at 3000-4000 followers. Now he is at 13.1+k Followers.

Case study 2: Miriam from More Than Organized, had around 1000 followers and is now around 4,500. She is now getting a lot of traffic to her site from Instagram

Mistakes when building your Instagram accounts and your brand

Having a great mix of personal and business posts will really help you build a good following on Instagram

Feeling bottlenecked and second generation immigrant

Old school mentalities

Geared to be a good employee

Why immigrant families focus on education

Document your processes so you're ready to outsource. A lot of Entrepreneurs are afraid to let go. Time-Value-Money

Leaving his engineer gig to become The InstaGuy.co

What Tony is doing right now to keep a balanced lifestyle

Final Words

Nothing is forever. Nothing is permanent. If you make a job or career choice now, it doesn't have to be the rest of your life. There are options out there. It's not about what you are doing today its about what you want to do tomorrow and the choices you are making along the way.

You have the freedom to make a choice.

Start Your Revolution!

Today's Revolution episode was recorded live from the SYR CrossFit gym. The Crossfit community has grown exponentially here in the Greater Lehigh Valley area over the past few years. Today's co-host runs one of the largest CrossFit facilities in the Lehigh Valley. He found the love for fitness after leaving the corporate world and decided to launch his own fitness gym and community. Welcome to the show Rob Eschbach.

On the show we talk about CrossFit's growth in our local area, buying and re-branding a gym, losing members to then tripling SYR's membership within three years of business.

On This Revolution Episode You Will Hear: 

SYR - Start Your Revolution

Coffee with a Cop

A growing CrossFit community within the local area

The metamorphosis from CrossFit Honor to becoming SYR. Creating a new brand and taking a drop in initial membership

Rob's background before SYR. Settling from a travel intense lifestyle

Bringing on a valued partner and a GM

Changing the brand, increase the membership

What the CrossFit organization lacks is business support. Teaching new Box owners the business skills necessary to run a successful gym

Keeping a full-time job while starting the business and growing the business

Being out priced in the market? Instead doubled and tripled membership

Reaching membership goals by year three

SYR have a 80% female membership which is unusual for a CrossFit Gym

Rob had a Powerlifting and bodybuilding background, the first week of CrossFit he was more sore than he had ever been which showed him that positive change was afoot

Have the ability to embrace change, put yourself in that awkward situation and realize you're not going to win. The best lessons learned are the ones when you have failed and you have to come back and try again

Retention rate from the first time they ran the women's program

The New You 6 Week Challenge

What are the ladies from the program expecting to get out of it

Goals from the program and how they help them meet their goals

Reason for not providing the fundamental program

Throw the scale away and why?

The flat-line effect, following similar programs but adapting us

Today's GoFundMe campaign guest and co-host is a gentleman I found online, through a mutual CrossFit coach friend of mine. He had shared a post that I found inspiring and worthy of sharing across all of social media. Mostly because it involves crowdfunding that was benefiting children and their fitness at the elementary school level. This campaign is on the popular GoFundMe platform. This online system allows someone to go out there to try to fund a dream, get a business going, launch charity or simply find funding with just the power of the internet.  Nowadays it's truly about the power of Google, of people, social media and building communities that can step behind something of value. The co-host today is from Vermont, he runs a program through HEScrossfit.com, and his name is Peter Driscoll!

Peter has been teaching physical education in Vermont for ten years. He currently teaches at the Hartland Elementary School aka HES. Nominated for the Vermont Teacher of Year Award by his peers in 2009 and earned his CrossFit Level one certification in 2010 and incorporated much of the CrossFit philosophy into his P.E. classes. He also trains for obstacle course races, recently finishing in the top 1% at the Vermont Beast Spartan Race in Killington. He's using all of this background and more to build a successful GoFundMe campaign to benefit his students while teaching other teachers that they could do the same!

In this GoFundMe episode you will hear:

HART - Hardwork, Attitude, Respect, Teamwork

Better than yesterday

Using acronyms for the students to help remember the most important attributes of their program

Six years ago is when Peter started to take CrossFit more seriously

Doing positive things with his certification and being recognized for it

Finding CrossFit from the Hotshot Wildland Firefighting training and GoRuck events

Goal of getting Certified for CrossFit for Kids

The real strength of what you learn is through teaching. His goal for the program was to build confidence up, from within the children. They say confidence is the foundation in which all our successes is built upon. Their motto is, "Form, Consistency, Everything else". The kids are run through a fundamentals program, so they learn the form and the technique before any weight gets applied.  If you don't have those techniques consistently developed, you have a high risk of injury

The lead up's Peter was talking about, in the education world they call this Scaffolding, to scaffold those movements and scaffold that information for the kids is vital.

Initial costs of opening a CrossFit gym includes the $3,000 affiliate fee, equipment costs, rent, utilities, insurance, marketing and salary expenses. For a medium-sized gym aka box, an owner can expect an up-front cost of at least $5,000 for equipment and $1,000 or more per month afterward to maintain and replace equipment. But since Peters project is a non-profit they get the fee waived and the agreement they have with CrossFit HQ is the school community can access their box and nobody can be charged a nickel.

In 2014 Peter and his brother founded tabatakids.com. They created music specifically for Tabata and Peter then brought it into the classroom so teachers can take a four-minute movement break with their students and they do it to the music.

At a conference Peter was presenting about how to introduce Table into the classroom for kids. On one of the days, he was not presenting he went to a session on how to bring CrossFit to your school. It was there that he learned that if you apply as a non-profit, you can operate as a non-profit.

"If you have a body, your an athlete." The magic word in CrossFit is Scaling because regardless of your comfort level, your experience level or your fitness level; we can make it awesome for them and the culture they have cultivated is incredible.
