Barton and Michael talk Acting from their days in the Maggie Flanigan Studio to how Michael handled such a dynamic and flawed character as Shane Mungitt in the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play "Take me Out".  
Highlights include: 

• How he prepares mentally for the big moments at the end when his character is dragged off stage. 
• How he sees the “tightrope” of being in the moment, acknowledging the audience, and being a part of a company of actors. 
• His perspective on the importance of live theater and the magic of acting in live performances.  

Michael Oberholtzer's Broadway and off-Broadway credits include Hand to God, The Babylon Line (Lincoln Center Theater) and The Talls (Second Stage). He has appeared on film and television in Sneaky Pete (Amazon), Good Girls Revolt (Amazon), The Americans (FX), Forever (ABC), NYC 22 (CBS), Law & Order (NBC), Delivery Man, HairBrained, Hits, Cut Shoot Kill, Trouble, Staring at the Sun, Aardvark and South Mountain.

Barton and Harold enjoy a lively discussion about the 15 steps to a Champion Mindset.  Some of the topics include:  

• the habits and focus of high level athletes, 
• what the "Twisty's" are and why Simone Biles opted out of performing in the 2020 Olympic Games, 
• The three W's to avoid as an athlete,
• and breaking down how to learn about a performance  by asking three questions immediately after the event happens.  

Dr. Shinitzky is a highly sought after presenter nationally and internationally. He is the developer of A Champion's Mindset, and The Winning Zone. He also co-authored the book, "A Champions Mindset: 15 Mental Conditioning Steps to Becoming a Champion Athlete" and works with nationally ranked junior, collegiate, Olympic and professional athletes (PGA, NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL). Dr. Harold E. Shinitzky, Psy. D. is located in Clearwater and St. Petersburg Florida. 

The specialization of Sport Psychology is an interdisciplinary field that integrates decades of research from biomechanics, kinesiology, physiology and psychology. Sport Psychology is the synthesis of these fields as they apply to the impact of psychological factors affecting athletic performance as well as the science of assessing the effects of sport and exercise on psychological and physical factors. A Sport Psychologist applies this wealth of knowledge when working with the athlete, teams, coaches, and parents and covers numerous skills which can be developed in order to improve or achieve optimal athletic performance. A Sport Psychologist is an individual who has earned a doctoral degree in Psychology, has completed an internship and post-doctoral training and passed the national examination to be a Licensed Psychologist. As a Sport Psychologist, I help nationally ranked junior athletes all the way to Olympic and professional athletes from every association.  Working with these athletes we seek to improve mental toughness, personal motivation, goal-setting, and emotion management to attain their greatest athletic abilities as well as life skills in order to be a better person today and after they conclude their athletic career.

Brendan Hansen is a three time gold medalist Swimmer who showed up at the University of Texas at 18 years old and wrote “Man on a Mission” on tape and placed it on his gym locker. Why was he a man on a mission? He had just lost in the two events at the  Olympic trials and was not going to represent the USA at the Olympics in 2000. That failure motivated him not just as a freshman at Texas but for the next four years. In the four years between 2000 - 2004, he would become the fastest breaststroker in the world and break the world record in the 100m and 200m events.

In this interview, Mindset Forge host Barton and Brendan discuss how failures can be so motivating, how when he was surrounded by elite swimmers at the University of Texas it brought the best out of him and how we can do that in our own lives to bring the best out of ourselves. And finally, he talks about how  the culture of a great team can be the secret sauce that helps everyone level up to their maximum potential because of peer to peer accountability.

Established Mindset

From childhood, the concept of failure was already known to Brendan. He got used to failure quickly because he hung out with his brother’s friends, who are three years older than he is. His parents would describe his mindset as very much like the underdog. So when Brendan got into swimming, he quickly pushed his capabilities to the limit. He had an excellent developmental coach who was there to make every failure a learning opportunity. Whenever Brendan does something wrong, his coach would pull him to the side and tell him how to do it correctly. Having this foundation of mindset was what made Brendan ready to take head-on whatever challenge there is. Being told that he is going to fail his way to success was perceived positively rather than negatively. It was perceived as a way to grow from the experience, and that helps Brendan understand how to tweak moving forward.

Jeremy was an early adopter of CrossFit back in 2005 and began his journey as a coach and CrossFit Games competitor from 2007 - 2015 and an individual and on a team.  He is married with three kids and he and his sister own CrossFit Central in Austin, TX.  

In 2005 Jeremy was introduced to the sport of CrossFit his good friend and Marine, Lance Cantu. Immediately, he knew he had discovered the path he had been seeking since he first started training. This was not just a game he was going to play, but something he was going take part in that would effect positive change on a large scale. Naturally he dove in head first.

Motivated by results, Jeremy felt the best way to learn was through action. Action, hard work, dedication, and discipline were the tools he utilized to take $500 and build a million dollar garage gym facility, CrossFit Central, in less than three years. He built from the ground up. In 2005 Jeremy along with his sister Carey started by running boot camps in parks all around Austin. He worked from his one bedroom apartment day in and day out blogging, emailing and programming; strong relationships sprouted out of his emphasis on the importance of being heavily involved in the Austin fitness community. Jeremy laid the foundation for his future by hiring a strong team; coupling his drive with people who were passionate about CrossFit and dedicated to the company’s vision.

in this episode, Barton and Raquel discuss how she supports women to find long term success by addressing nutrition, sleep, stress, and working out based on the timing of their 28-day menstrual cycle.  She shares key insights about how, as a mother of three herself, she has to find harmony in the chaos and make working out a non-negotiable for her life.  Her analogy of how a mother is like the Sun in a family dynamic explains how important her energy and light is to the entire family unit.  She has a successful online coaching practice helping women find a healthy lifestyle that support long term success, not short term fads or superficial goals.  In this episode, Barton and Raquel talk about the best strategies for people starting out on their health journey as well as what to focus on when women reach pre-menapause and into their 50's.

In this Solo-cast episode, Barton talks about how we have to consider the body as well as the mind when striving for our goals.  Willing ourselves toward a goal with the best of intentions will only take us so far and we must understand that the body has to be prepped properly to be able to do what we ask when the time comes. 

Barton discussed mistakes he's made and how he is still reminded that a strong mindset will only take us so far.  We must do the little things to energize the body and promote healthy recovery if we expect our bodies to achieve the level of success we are striving for with our goal.
