Hey Life Athletes, welcome to episode 168 of the Life Athletics podcast!

Today's guest Life Athlete is Elizabeth Grojean.

Elizabeth Grojean is the founder of Baloo Living, a product company founded on principals of self-care and holistic wellness. After 15 years in corporate America, she left it behind to ask, who am I I'm not what I do?

"I take time in the morning to be with myself and be quiet."

With only $9,000 in savings, Elizabeth made it a mission to build a sustainable business - and what better way to learn the ropes than by actually meeting and getting tips from people who have actually done and seen success in the Amazon FBA industry.

So she left for Bali.

After a one year sabbatical she emerged from Bali to launch Baloo's first product, a weighted blanket, and is on track to gross 250K in her first six months in business.

Her journey, though, is not perfect - from delivering disappointing news to former business partners to flying to China (and getting into some immigration hiccup) to fix product inspections. Listen to how she faced all the struggles and challenges and emerged victorious.

Today's guest Life Athlete is Colin O'Brady.

"Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional."

At 22, Colin thought his life was over when what seemed like harmless fun in a remote village in Thailand turned into a nightmare. He was participating in a fire dance with a jumprope; the next thing he knew, his feet was entangled in the rope and he was burning up to the neck.

Doctors told him that he would not be able to work properly again.

Yet here we are with Colin, speaking to us about stories from completing a triathlon and Snapchatting from the peak of Mt. Everest.

"Us humans have these reservoirs of untapped potential inside of us and we can achieve incredible things, particularly when we focus our mind and we commit to the process, and more importantly, when we believe they are possible."

Colin tells us that all things you really want to enjoy in life require some sort of challenge. Not being one to back down, Colin - with the encouragement of his very supportive mother - got up and began breaking ceilings. Since the accident and since getting back in shape, Colin has conquered The Explorers Grand Slam and went on to break two world records.

"We aren't experts, but we are curious enough to wake up every day and keep taking a few more steps."

He's not stopping at all of his achievements. Colin wants others to take a challenge and break records too. So he started a non-profit called Beyond 7/2, which aims to raise awareness and funds to inspire kids and their communities to lead active, healthy kids and pursue their biggest dreams.

Join Colin and Nik on this very inspirational episode today.

Today's guest Life Athlete is Miro Heyink.

Miro is the founder of Manifest X. He works with people to allow them to live their 10 out of 10 life.

"You're not gonna get a yes, unless you're willing to get a no."

On this episode, host Nik Wood and Miro talk about making conscious decisions, acknowledging yourself for all the hard work you've put in, and celebrating life by building communities that make an impact in the world.

"Saying something positive about yourself is frowned upon - but that's unnecessary."

Miro opens up about a time when he was doing everything "right." His career was flourishing, his personal relationships were going great, he was earning well, and everybody was congratulating him. Deep inside, though, he felt quite the opposite. He was deeply unfulfilled.

He knew that he needed to make a shift. Miro then decided to work on himself more - and now, he's paying it forward by helping others get through their struggles.

"If I have a day that I am grateful for, that's a win."

Listen in to the conversation to learn more about "Miro the Hero" and how he shifted his focus from the negative to the positive and what type of impact that made on his life.

As mentioned, Miro loves to pay it forward - and today, THREE lucky individuals will be chosen to hop on a FREE one-on-one coaching session with Miro! Make sure to be visible to the Life Athletics team by engaging in the comments.

"You can learn from everybody."

Winston Ben Clements was born with a condition known as Brittle Bones disease, medical term Ostegenesis Imperfecta.

Nonetheless, Winston graduated with BSc Honours in Computer Science and has built up a successful Technology career, working primarily within Management Consulting and the Financial Services. In addition to this, Winston is the Founder of an online platform known as "Positive Spin UK" with a mission of "Creating a world where nobody feels limited in what they can achieve."

Hey Life Athletes, welcome to episode 160 of the Life Athletics podcast!

Today's guest Life Athletes are Tim Stevenson and David Jackson of the School of Calisthenics.

Both Tim and David have extensive experience in elite performance strength and conditioning as athletes and coaches. Together, they have come up with a learning platform that utilizes the science of sport, strength and conditioning, physical adaptation and how to practically and systematically apply all of those within the realm of calisthenics.

"We have to accept that failure is not a dirty word."

On this episode, Tim and David tackle the hardest part of training and working toward your goal: the fear of failure. They emphasized on how fear was given a negative connotation and that this shouldn't be the case. For young people who are starting to pave their way toward athletic success, this mindset can be quite deterrent. In the School of Calisthenics, they teach students to embrace failure and think of it part of learning.

"Failure is when we're learning."

The School of Calisthenics is looking forward to joining the International Handstand Day this June 23rd, and they'd love for you to participate too!

"We gotta do something different if we want a different outcome."
