The Active Life Podcast

We've all walked past a business that has core values on the wall that mean absolutely nothing. It's obvious that no one in the business has even looked at them since the day they were hired. 

In this podcast Dr. Sean breaks down how to make sure you are always acting in alignment with what you say you do. 

72% of Americans are either overweight or clinically obese. This is a huge problem, no pun intended. 

On today's episode of The Active Life Podcast Larry and Dr. Sean discuss how we got here, what to do about it, and how to do it. 

How we talk to people, what we talk to them about, and why we have the conversations are all critical elements of our personal responsibility in regards to reversing the intense and negative cycle of the American health condition.

No one wants to talk about politics with people who disagree with them, and so American society just votes and thinks like the echo chamber in which they feel most comfortable. 

No one wants to talk about money, so instead the average American lives paycheck to paycheck, can't afford a $500 medical emergency, and thinks people with financial means are selfish and without empathy or character. 

No one wants to talk about religion, so we develop a society that worships individuality at the expense of the group, and we fight wars over whose god is the truest. 

Why does this happen?

What can we do about it?

What is your personal role in it?

Cody and Dr. Sean discuss. 

If a comedian makes a joke and someone laughs, that joke was funny, even if you're not the one laughing. 

We are in a golden age for comedy, and it's not because people are funnier than ever, it's because people are so much easier to make fun of than ever. The absurdities around what offends people in 2023 has made benign topics taboo, and the taboo will always bring about a bigger cackle than "safe" content that doesn't offend anyone. 

The general rule is as long as you make fun of everyone, including yourself, then your material is fair game. So why are people so offended these days?

On this episode Larry and Dr. Sean break down why some people take offense to almost anything funny, why they don't find certain things funny while still understanding that the content is funny for someone else, and not much more, that's about it for this show.

What is a real job?

Why do parents want their kids to go work for corporations or get a graduate degree or a doctorate?

We think it's because there is a high perceived likelihood of safety, and financial success... Along with some status. But what if that's all perceived, smoke, no fire?

On this episode of The Active Life Podcast Dr. Sean and Larry discuss how to handle it when people ask when you plan to get a "Real job".

What would compel someone to quit their job as a nurse, physical therapist, physical therapy assistant, to pursue a career as a professional coach?

In this episode of The Active Life Podcast, Dr. Sean and Larry discuss the recent surge of career changers who have enrolled in Active Life's ALP mentorship, and why making the move might be a good idea for you too.

Every time we say "it's not about the money", while struggling financially, we lie to ourselves. 

"I wish I had more money" and "I don't care if I make more money", are at odds. Holding both at the same time will erode self trust, lead to burnout, and it needs to be stomped out, now. 

On today's podcast Dr. Sean explains why, how, and what to do.
