After a series on remaining an Elite Road Warrior even when grounded due to COVID 19, we’re back in the groove of the even-numbered episodes focus on interviews with subject matter experts and fellow road warriors traveling at an elite level.

John Di Domenico is an Emmy Nominated, Actor, Writer, Comedian and Impersonator. What’s amazing about John’s backstory is he overcame a severe speech impediment as a child to become a performer and look where he is today. What a story of perseverance and overcoming.

I’ll be asking John the following questions in this interview:

• Your level of energy required to do your job as an entertainer that impersonates has to be demanding and draining so how do you handle it?
• What do you find yourself eating and drinking as an entertainer on the road?
• How much sleep do you get on the road and what is the quality of your rest?
• What is at stake if you don’t perform at the highest level on the road?
• What do you want to improve in your Road Life right now?

And so much more, this week on the podcast!

The ultimate time to be a Chicago sports fan was in the 90s with the Bulls winning six championships in eight years. In fact it was so influential in sports history that ESPN created The Last Dance a 10-part docu-series on the last year of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls.

He was willing to do whatever it takes to perform at the highest level and would use absolutely anything to motivate him. And that’s exactly what we need to do right now working from home to prepare us for the road. This week on the podcast is a discussion on the three elements to a successful work from home day in preparation for future road life.

I don’t claim to be a highly emotional or unstable guy. I’m high energy but I am definitely not all over the place emotionally. But these days, many of us business travelers are grounded, literally. It’s been weeks, now months since we’ve traveled due to the current health pandemic. 

This week on the podcast is a self-checkup on our mental state as this pandemic continues to ground us road warriors. With reflection, I’ve identified eight very specific emotions I’m truly experiencing with not traveling at all right now.

I challenge for you to consider how many of these are accurate of you right now.

Typically, even numbered episodes are interviews with one of our experts. But here at the Elite Road Warrior, we're always looking for creative ways to keep the ERW podcast fresh.

As a result, today’s episode is a bit different.

This week is a mashup of several past interviews highlighting each of the six energy habits.

There are three focus areas of ERW - Work / Health / Home Life. Work focuses on the energy habits: PERFORM / DEVELOP. Health focuses on the energy habits the three physical energy habits: MOVE / FUEL / REST. Home Life focuses on the energy habit CONNECT.

Most Road Warriors are great at their work. Some are even great at being healthy while on the road. But rarely are road warriors great at the third focus area of the Elite Road Warrior: Home Life.
