Quotes you will hear in this episode:

“I had to learn and create a new habit, a new pattern, a new way living and thinking outside the box of the standard American diet,  to create health in more of a preventative way. I’ve learned that the body can heal no matter what,  if we give it the things that it needs.”

“Everything we do will either improve our health or decrease our health.”

Quotes you will hear in this podcast: 

“We have learned more about learning in the last 5 years…thanks to brain scans technology, pet scans, etc…than we have in the last 5000 years and yet our educational systems have either ignore or for the most part just bypassed this idea that we know how we learn and it look a whole lot more like a playground than a classroom.”

“We were not build to sit all day long, we were built to move”

“Chairs are the enemy of the brain.”

“Clutter is the enemy of the distracted mind, clutter is the enemy of the ADD/ADHD mind”

“Focus on the handful of things you want to focus on and focus on them until they are mastered”

“We have much better ammunition than bullets if we use fun, love, care, understanding, relationships and friendships. There is not enough bullets in the world that can kill an idea, only an idea can kill an idea, only a more powerful idea can destroy a dangerous. Love is always more powerful than hate, and positive is always more powerful than negative.”

“The word ‘education’ comes from the latin word to draw out…literally draw out, not to cram in. And if you just decide that we are going to draw out all the best of the kids. We will put some good stuff in but then let me play them, whether it is toys, number, songs, dances, colors. Put something good in then draw out. That is where creativity, innovation and that is where true education happens, not in the cramming in, in the drawing out.”

Dr. Rich reveals a program that he is striving to begin for youth who intern with Rich Learning, teaching pre-school using their system in underdeveloped nations in exchange to pay student loans.

Quotes you will hear with this podcast:

“Have a goal that serves your loved ones, because if your why is bigger than yourself, but can serve someone you truly care about, you are going to stop at nothing to accomplish that goal.”

“If you believe in a higher power and you are dedicated to that belief than service with faith, service with passion and be just as passionate in your business, with your family as you are with your higher power, do not separate them because if you want to be authentic you can not separate your gifts.”

“Every single person, I have found is simply a mirror reflection of you…as you shift and change they will too.”

“I believe that there needs to be a movement happening on the plant where mentors, networks, speakers, chiropractors, healers, people who have gifts inside that help others. They must step into this place of authenticity to make their message their own. So they can pains into profits, their failures into fortunes, and their wisdom into wealth.”

Jennie Carlson - Episode #122 - Quotes:

“Just breath…In yoga they call the breathe the pathway to life.”

“There are 2 different people in the world, there is “creators” or there is “reactors”. People who are creating their life or people who are reacting to what is happening in their life. And if you were to write those words on a piece of paper, they are the exact same letters. The only difference is how YOU see yourself.”

“You can be the creator of your life, you can come together and connect that mind, body, spirit and have a powerful, meaningful life.”

“Accepting yourself for who you are and Accepting others for who they are, just as they are…unconditional love”

A few quotes from Steven Adams - Episode 121:

“And a lot of times we just kind of take what we have as the only option, like we look around at our society in education and we say…that is the system we have, therefore it must be a good system.”

“Education in a free-society, has always been about sacrifice, and sacrifice is an amazing catalyst to progress”

“What I think is most important about education is that we all allow each other to be free, allow each other to pursue our own goals and our own values in a free society and if we want that freedom ourselves, we’ve got to allow it of others.”
