My guest today is on a mission and I am pumped to get to talk all about it.

If, ten years ago, you had asked me if I believed in what I’m about to share with you… I wouldn’t be able to say yes. But that’s the power of hard work, niching down, and really working on the messaging and communication of your ideas. I am SO glad we’re back in each others’ eco-systems. 

Dr. Sean Pastuch is the founder and CEO of Active Life Rx. His mission is simple: bridging the gap between healthcare and fitness—all to empower the individual. 

If you’re in healthcare or fitness, you NEED to hear this. If you’re not, well, there’s plenty to learn by listening around the edges. This is one of my longer conversations, but believe me when I tell you it’s gonna fly by. You’ll thank me later.

The Active Life Podcast

I had Emilie Reed stop by a Mafia dinner in October and what she said really spoke out to me. What if instead of looking at life like a closed circle, we viewed it as a spiral?

You might be spiralling right now, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Let’s chat. 

• Seasonality and changes
• Spirals vs. circles
• Respecting our customers’ seasonality
• Self-awareness, self-trust, self-reflection
• Planning for the future with spirality in mind
• You’re not going backwards

Sustainability should be your business goal, and sometimes that means implementing new systems so you don’t burn yourself out.

That might cause you to take a few steps back—in fact you probably will—but that’s okay. Build from there. Grow back stronger.

Let’s chat.

• Why I don’t like the traditional business model
• Removing urgency
• Go back to your “why”
• Let the thing run its course
• Sustainability is the goal

MOTM #325: Choice vs. Sacrifice

Did something completely different for this episode and for the first time ever brought on a listener of the podcast. You might not know her but you’re definitely going to love her.

I’ve said it a bunch of times, and specifically mentioned in an earlier episode with @inquistive_human that I really don’t know who specifically is listening to my podcast. Podcasting is truly one of those semi-lonely, very uni-directional things. Lo and behold someone reached out, sending me an email telling me about herself, and her story was so interesting I wrote back wanting to learn MOAR, and eventually invited her on to the podcast to share her words with my people.

Meet Amanda Schoultz. She’s the first listener I’ve had on the podcast in this capacity, and I am confident her story will resonate with you.

This conversation FLEW by and honestly brought me so much joy. I was blown away by Amanda’s worldview and her wisdom (just wait til’ the part where she talks about people not fearing change ). I want you to listen closely, and really hear the value of asking and building authentic relationships. They are two things that can absolutely help you get anywhere you want to go.

• A little background on who Amanda is
• Why journalism?
• Finding your own support system
• Journalism is a public service job
• Changing course
• How asking good questions gets you farther
• Moving to Denver with no job
• Let people know you want more, and follow through
• The willingness and the ability to be resourceful
• From council-aid to Chief of Staff
• “Satisfaction” is NOT the bar
• Starting The Ayo Group
• Jeeps n’ cats
• You’ll never regret connection
• People don’t resist change…

It’s not uncommon to feel guilty about your success. I want everyone to have the freedom and the choices I have!

But stopping myself from having these good things doesn’t help anyone, doesn’t bring anyone closer to their own goals. Far moar good comes from enjoying yourself and using your privilege to inspire others. Caring about it allows you to fight for it, for the people who want it, too.

Let’s chat.

My Insta post on leading with your success

Dimming your light helps no one. Stank people are always gonna be stank, so why worry about them?

Focus instead on the people who already support you. And if you don’t think you have any, I’ll be the first in line to celebrate with you.

The champ is here!!!

You know her. You love her. I have to wear a helmet every time I hang out with her.

She is an OG in the online business world, mother of the adorable @pipthePomsky, and one of my closest friends. My guest today could be none other than @JillFit, aka Jill Coleman.

Full disclosure, I brought Jill on to talk about our program, Legacy, but also to give you direct insight about what it’s like to work with her. I wanted you to hear FROM her, not just about her.

Yes, we run a mentormind together, but it’s so much more than that. Jill and I share a lot of the same values, and it shows in how we run our businesses. Y’all know I only work with the absolute BEST people, and Jill sets the standard.

She embodies “Doing the damn thing.” She leads from the front in everything she does. And honestly, I swear she is the nicest lady ever. Legit.

Together we’re on a mission to change the game and show business just what’s possible.

Applications for LEGACY are open, but even if you have no interest in joining, tune into this episode and spend time listening to someone who has truly dedicated themselves to their craft. It inspires the hell out of me, and my guess is it’ll do the same for you.

MOTM #112: How to Grow and Dominate an Online Business with Jill Coleman

How do you get more confident when selling? You already know I’m not gonna give you the easy answer. 

Stop focusing on selling. Focus on making an impact, and when you do, sales will follow. Confidence comes last. 

Let’s chat.

Nothing I love more than having conversations with my people, and y’all really bring up some great questions.

So how do you overcome the fear of failure, you ask? I see a three part solution.

One, identify the ACTUAL problem. Taking the answer you found in step one, create some safety for yourself. And finally, take action. A.k.a. … Do the damn thing.

And hey, if it’s something you don’t actually want to do, or if it’s something you’re bad at… you don’t have to do it. Sometimes people glorify the struggle for no goddamn reason. 

Let’s chat.

This week I had not just one, but TWO incredible guests on the podcast to talk about something I’m really, really excited for… Full disclosure: they are here to promote their brand new book, but I think you’re gonna love what they have to say.

Dr. Bryan Guzski and Dr. Tim Reynolds have written “Movers and Mentors”—a guidebook filled with the best thoughts and advice from over 75 leaders in the physical therapy and movement science fields. You’re gonna have this book pre-ordered by the end of this episode, I promise you.

This is the PT’s version of “Tools of Titans” by Tim Ferris (which, if you’re not familiar with already, you absolutely should be). It is a MUST READ for young professionals, students, and any PT who values the wisdom of expert clinicians, veteran business owners, researches, and innovators in our field.  

And hey—you might hear some advice from someone you know and love, if you catch my drift.

• Tim and Bryan’s backgrounds
• The birth of the idea for Movers and Mentors
• Creating a list of guests and questions
• Who can we expect to see?
• Trial by fire
• What Tim and Bryan have been up to during and after the pandemic
• The future of the PT profession
• Find more joy in the micro-moments
