Looking for something special to do for Halloween this year? Then don't miss BOO AT THE ZOO at OC's hidden gem, the Santa Ana Zoo.  Taking place this weekend (and next).  On Saturday, Oct. 22 and Sunday, October 23. As well as the following weekend on Saturday, Oct. 29 and Sunday, October 30.  From 5:30pm-7:30pm (right after the zoo closes each night). 
Watch the zoo come alive with gremlins and ghouls (and lots of little kids). All collecting candy and prizes and trick or treating to their hearts delight. To a background of howling monkees and birds.  All to benefit the great educational programs at OC's most accessible zoo.  Right off the 5 freeway (at the intersection of "cool" and "fun".  
Hear all about it HERE. Or visit https://www.santaanazoo.org/ to learn more (or buy your tix for this event that ALWAYS sells out!)

Meet Sean Ferrel, Founder and CEO of MANAGED SOLUTION on their managed IT services for major corporations.  And how this son of Panamanian immigrants grew up Riverside, landed a scholarship to UC San Diego playing baseball (just like his grandfather did in Panama's professional baseball league).  And came out of college swinging, hitting a home run as he grew his one-man enterprise into multi-million dollar company.
And how he continues to give back to OUR COMMUNITY to this day (donating computers to foster kids and mentoring others).

Show Notes  I have heard it said that the “road to success” can be a torturous journey. Truthfully, I have heard it said that the “road to success” can be a bloody path. I can identify with that. First of all, we must face all sorts of external roadblocks such as the demands of other people, saturated markets, finances, and dozens of other obstacles. Today, however, we are not going to talk about external obstacles but, rather, internal obstacles—the ones we often feel almost helpless in managing. I’m thinking about the fear failure and the need to feel like you must somehow “measure up” to your own outrageous standards. My guest is an expert on managing your mental toughness and coping with the fear of failure. Dr Haley Perlus is a highly sought-after performance coach for athletes AND for leaders in corporations. Her list of clients is quite impressive as you find on her website in the Show Notes section of this podcast. This show is for everyone—no matter your role in life. Mental toughness in the midst of the fear of failure can be learned, and Dr Perlus will tell us how we might find ways to master it. LINKS Click here for more on Dr Hayley Perlus

He shares what he’s learned from two of his recent professional mentors, highlighting the key values they engrained in him as role models and how that created a confidence he did not initially have. Ken also recounts where he first heard the advice he’s never forgotten and how that shaped his guiding leadership principles on the importance of empowering people. Speaking to empowering people, Ken and Jackie further discuss healthy disruption and the intentionality and endurance required when building a diverse and balanced team.

As we begin to wrap up SEASON 2 of the Pedego Podcast, we'll revisit some of our favorite episodes including this one with eBike enthusiast Richard Davis, who after two years of daily riding on his Pedego, realized he'd ridden enough miles to have traveled half way around the world. 
So being the good engineer, Richard began tracking his daily mileage and extrapolating where that would put him each day if he were actually riding around the world (instead of around his own city in Florida).  Turning his daily exercise into an exercise of imagination (and drive) that made him even more determined to reach an amazing 25,000 mile odometer reading (the basic circumference of the Earth).
Hear again Richard's amazing ride "around the world" (at least in his imaginative mind) and how he rode over 25,000 miles on his equally amazing Pedego Electric Bike.  Adding another 1,000 miles shows since this show originally aired earlier this fall. As we continue to chronicle the electrifying "EBike Revolution" and those leading the charge here on the Pedego Podcast.
