The Challenger Podcast

Let's take a look at what occurred at the Oscars from a different angle on today's solo podcast episode.  Did you catch what happened between Will Smith and Chris Rock?  

What came up for you when you saw what went down between the two involved?  For me, compassion and curiosity were at the forefront of the interaction.  Did I have initial judgement while watching the altercation through my own lens and experiences?  Absolutely.  And I chose to sit with the emotions that showed up for me and decided to go live on TikTok to provide support for our community with what showed up for them as well.  

Tune in as I share what my thoughts and feelings were about the whole scenario including the memes, videos and assumptions that appeared on social media over the next day.  Subscribe now and be the first to hear what our expert guest has to say about relational programming and cognitive dissonance on next week's episode with returning guest and psychologist, Dr. Liz Fedrick.

On this week's quick solo episode, I want to hit you with some hard truths about modern relationships with texting, social media and dating apps as main ways people connect.  I've been given the opportunity to interview 100s of experts on the podcast and they all answer the same when asked, "What holds people back in modern relationships"?  Their answer is always the same: FEAR.

Today, I dig into the fear of being found out or discovered that holds you back in your relationships.  From vulnerability to intimacy, I cover everything you may not have realized about yourself until now.  So let's dig in and if you have follow up questions, please message me on Instagram @daveglaser_cscs for more of this conversation!  

On this week's episode, I am joined by Jade Bianca to talk all about dating after divorce.  We spend our time today navigating how long a person should wait after a divorce to "get back out there" and we came up with something unexpected that you won't want to miss!  From dating frogs to getting a second chance at love, Jade and I do not hold back!

After five years of training in the "gentle art" of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I was honored and humbled to receive my purple belt from the Easton Academy in Denver, Co.  I wanted to include our community in the celebration of that promotion as it has so much to do with moments in my life where I was tested and needed to stay grounded.

Jiu-jitsu is a practice that helps me do that in the healthiest way possible.  In January of '22, I was consumed with work and I felt my reactivity showing up more than I would have liked through the stressful busy season.  Now it's March and I am back to training and facing the next chapter in my life with humility and a new mindset, which impacts my relationships in every area of my life.

Tune in now to hear the full story and celebrate with me today!  If you are looking for more support in your life, send me a message on Instagram @daveglaser_cscs to learn about one on one or group coaching for nutrition, fitness, life and love with me today!

On today's episode, I talk about the core limiting beliefs I saw in myself and my clients when I first began coaching as a personal trainer.  As I grew, so did my awareness of how the core limiting belief of "I am not worthy" was showing up in every area of my life and relationships.  By discussing how I failed my way to being a success, I want to illustrate that your self-worth is not tied to your decisions or mistakes.

On this week's episode of the podcast, I am joined by Paul Bauer, host of the C'mon Man Podcast from Grand Junction, Co.  We discuss Nice Guy Syndrome and how it showed up in our own lives before we decided to uncover what was coming up in our own lives that held us back in relationships.

Paul believes that we are taught limiting beliefs about relationships from our family systems, and I couldn't agree more.  We touch on masculine and feminine energy dynamics with a discussion about Christian Grey and covert contracts.  One major takeaway from today's episode are 5 traits of a Nice Guy that Paul and I break down for you to recognize in yourself plus recommendations to right the ship of your life!
