Simply Not Easy

This is a full weekend of celebration and fun. Time to party with the right people, for the right reasons, and have a blast.

Happy Friday the 13th. What could go wrong? These days are starting to turn lucky for me. The last Friday the 13th was when I got my job offer. Well, it's all about the self fulfilling prophecy anyway. Spent the day in the awesome sports med clinic at Cayuga Medical Center for the last day for a while. It's been a great full day back in Ithaca after spending some good time away. Opportunities in this life are about far more than not burning bridges, it's about fueling and fulfilling that hunger, in yourself and others.

The East Coast tour is officially over. From New Hampshire, to Maine, back to New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and finally back home to New York. It's been a time filled with old connections and bringing forward many memories. The relationship we have with our past is essential to how we live in the present amd how our future will end up. Time to rejoice and celebrate memories of the past to start the path of the future.

I love using maces for workouts to change it up. They provide a different input of stimulus that requires rising to an enhanced focus, and thus self awareness. When you don't have a sweet custom mace it's not an excuse to push it to the way side. Time to go digging into that tool shed and find something fun.

What does a Christmas tree have in common with a great bowl of oatmeal? A whole heck of a lot. We also take a look at the benefits of soluable fiber and it's intricit relationship with cholesterol. Plus I share my go to oatmeal dish, a recipe for success.

As a preface to an upcoming Tasty Tuesday episode; today we look at a strong muscle controlling the jaw, the Temporalis. We talk about its control over the jaw, interesting neurological relationships, and influence relating to headaches.

I've started following the ladies volleyball NCAA tournament. It's getting tense as the competition gets even better. Today we dig down into the position of the Libero. It's the person wearing the different color shirt on the court.

Third time's the charm. Out here for the trifecta with my good friend T-Nix. We talk about work life balance and the importance of making boundaries for not only success, but for survival. This applies to the simplest of jobs and to those that have you pulled in twenty different directions. So take a moment to breathe, kick back, and enjoy.

Back with my friend T-Nix on the podcast today. We're talking about our unique experiences at Hyde School. What the school stands for, how it helped us, and why it's needed in the current times we live in. In a culture of achievement and doing, it's important to get back to the roots of effort and self-understanding. A challenging place where the rebel spirit is welcome... Good thing, because that spirit remains in me.

I made my trip up to Maine visiting the sister school of the boarding school I went to, Hyde School. Visiting many old and new friends. This includes a former roommate, and master of tough love in the times I may have needed in most, Tom Nixon (T-Nix). Today I've got the sass master himself on this episode telling us why we need more tough love in our life. He indulges us with a trip down memory lane...
