The Fulfillment Project with Simpli Sara

I absolutely love doing interviews because you get to see the other side of how people actually build businesses and what you need to take something you’re passionate about and turn it into reality.

I have Johanna Stavrakaki here with me today, an old friend who I first connected with going through my journey in the fitness industry. Because of this, I ask Johanna what got her started in the fitness industry and why she began doing competitions. 

Johanna is the Founder and CEO of Sthenos Active Sportswear. She faced many hardships in establishing her brand, from dealing with suppliers to her own stress. We hear about how she overcame these and continues to become stronger.

Bharat Oza is a client of mine who turned into a great friend, and he joins me today. We talk about tantra sex, orgasms, and how the releasing of hormones can really help with stress and anxiety reduction. Bharat also tells us about his role at B Elite.

 

Recently, Bharat was in Peru working with a shaman to study sacred plants. He shares what he learned from this experience before introducing exactly what tantra sex entails. He explains why it can not only improve our sex lives, but also our lives in general.

 

Bharat provides insight on some of the exercises he participated in while attending a tantra sex class. He and I talk about the importance of play and why so many people forget about this in their everyday lives.

I have one of my clients, Ken Sylvan, with me today. I’m so excited to have him on because I think having someone who is overcoming obstacles in their business right now can be so impactful to help you do the same.

Ken, along with his business partner, owns B Elite and is an expert in the holistic body transformation space. He originally worked with fitness competitors in getting ready for shows and began to discover that when healing the body internally, positive external side effects always happen.

Ken reveals the biggest reasons why some people can’t lose weight and provides examples from clients he has seen. He talks about the marketing he previously did for his business and how it has changed with since working with Joe and me.

Today I’ve got a guest with me who I know is going to help you in your personal life and in business: Melanie Sodka. We recently met at an event in downtown Toronto and connected instantly. That’s the power of going to events!

Melanie is a capacity creator, which she explains is a concept about helping people understand their commitment tendencies and their overindulgent behaviours. She says that humans have a difficult time selecting from the abundance of opportunities that are presented to us daily.

Creating capacity and creating time are different, and Melanie provides us with an explanation of the differences between the two. She also shares the tools and frameworks she has come up with to help business owners create more capacity in their life.

This episode is going to a bit of a mishmash of topics. Joe and I are diving in deep with our clients and mentorship program lately, and conversations have come up during our coaching calls that I think will be really valuable to talk about.

In this episode, I go over things you’re not doing that would bring more clients and revenue into your business. Before I get started, I’ll tell you a bit about one of the most valuable resources you can use for content creation.

Some things I go over are the hang ups that us fitness professionals can have that prevent us from getting started in our business. Of course, I’ll give you advice on how to overcome these obstacles and achieve your business goals!

I’m doing today’s podcast collaboratively with Brenda Johnston who hosts The Limitless Life. We want to talk about how we incorporate spirituality with business and how you can start to utilize that in your business as well.

This is a topic that I’ve been a little resistant to talk about because of the judgement factor. Having Brenda in my life has opened me up more to spirituality and awareness because she practices it with her clients a lot, but even she admits that it’s a bit weird. She says that it’s because of the misconceptions associated with spirituality.

We discuss the light and heavy feelings that our intuition brings us, including the symptoms that Brenda and I have experienced. Myself and my clients are all trying to grow businesses to receive fulfillment in some way, which comes back to spirituality.

It’s been a while since we’ve done an actual training here on the podcast, so I want to dive into some Instagram content with you. I get a lot of questions about Instagram, and what worked in the early days of the app in 2012 was very different from what works now.

I want to go over what you should be focusing on in 2019, how to get people to follow you, what kind of content you should be posting, how to get people to engage with you, and ultimately, how to get clients from this platform (because I know that’s what you want!).

You’ll learn about the “ego metrics” of Instagram and why you shouldn’t get too caught up in them. I’ll also tell you about the power of authenticity and the crucial act of sharing your story and experiences.
