Reveal the exceptional in everyone we come across. It's a core value at Active Life. 
Something I've learned over the years is that if I want to develop myself as a person, I need to spend 90% of my time and energy focusing on my strengths. If I want to develop my body, I need to spend 90% of my time and energy focusing on my weaknesses. 
On today's podcast Cody and I discuss the value of revealing the exceptional of everyone we come across. We talk about what it means, how to do it, and we even discuss doing it for you. 
If you want to talk to me about learning about working with our team to help you achieve your goals, please find me on instagram at @drseanpastuch, send me a DM, let's connect.

If you've heard Rachel Scheer on another podcast I promise you this, you have not heard her talk about what we discuss on today's episode, and you're going to want to tune in. 
Rachel found herself at the crossroads of having her intestines removed and taking control of her life, finding her own way to a cure for herself. She chose the latter and now she's bringing her message to the masses. 
We talk as much about the mind body connection, and who Rachel is at her core as we do about the science of health. 
Rachel is a functional nutritionist, her new book "root cause" is on Amazon now, for coaches who want to help people like Rachel does.

Heal your gut, relax your nervous system, and change your life - Rachel Scheer

I recently attended an event called "Strength in Diversity" that my friend, Ebenezer Samuel hosted on behalf of Men's Health Magazine.
I was skeptical at first because I rarely see diversity efforts that I believe make companies or services better. Typically what I see is virtue signaling, and getting minority faces into content to try an attract business from more people who look like them. 
When it comes to social causes I believe the most virtuous social cause is doing world class work. It doesn't matter what the people who do that work look like, as long as the effort is always on doing the best work. 
What was refreshing about the Strength in Diversity initiative is that there are no handouts. It's a mentorship approach to lifting people who come from marginalized communities. And that I can get behind. 
Today I ask Ebenezer the hard questions in regards to the relevance, merit, and future of diversity efforts in the work place.

I've been dealing with some conflict lately. In exploring what my unique ability is I've faced down some really challenging questions of myself.

Dealing with personal conflict

Living a healthy lifestyle is much simpler than it's made out to be. One of the biggest mistake people make is the all or nothing approach. 
Sometimes you're better off doing less, and allowing it to be more. 
When is that the time?

Sometimes 70% is 100%, there is a time to do it half ass

Kimberly Pastuch (my wife) talks about her fourth pregnancy and delivery and what was different this time.
She's two weeks postpartum at the release of this episode and she's within a few pounds of her pre-pregnancy weight, her energy is high, and her body is feeling almost 100%. 
How is this all possible?
You're going to have to listen to find out.
