Join hosts Sam Tooley and Joe Rinaldi as they have a chat with Cory Camp. Cory is a Personal Performance Coach who helps athletes of all ages deal with their physical (and mental) barriers. In this episode, Cory shares with us the beginning of his coaching business, about his transition from a "regular job" to entrepreneurship, and how he was able to progress with his company throughout 2020.

Additionally, Cory talks about his swimming career and a very delicate health issue that came to surface at a young age for him. Unexpectedly, we might find a few obstacles on our path and dealing with these obstacles in adulthood is hard enough, let alone being a teenager with goals not yet well defined and more dreams than we can count.

"The more fulfilled I feel, the more aligned [I become] with my own identity." – Cory Camp

Join hosts Sam Tooley and Joe Rinaldi as they interview Wyatt Knight, founder of The 1% Better Club. Wyatt shares with us his initiative to help those who cross his path in order to leave them at least 1% better after meeting them. Everyone is going through something at every moment and we don't always know what's going on in other people's lives. In this episode you'll learn why Wyatt's mantra models the concept that being kind to others is free.

As the last episode of this year, Sam, Joe and Wyatt share some visions and inspirations for 2021. In the next year, it could all be easier if we start by taking a step back in order to create new attitudes towards people – like asking someone how they're doing or about their day and actually listening with good will. This network of kindness will eventually become something bigger, with everyone having a good impact in everyone's day.

"If you are consistently focused on self improvement and getting a little bit better every day, it's endless the possibilities of what you can do, what your family can do, what your business can do, what your community can do. So that's why I always want to say: I want to get a little bit better every day." – Wyatt Knight

Join Sam Tooley and Joe Rinaldi as they go through another Jam Session. Sam and Joe highlight the importance of this year for them, how the pandemic affected the initial plans both had for 2020, and how they were able to stick to their goals even with everything going on in the world. Sam explains that what really worked for him when setting goals was trying to act accordingly with his aspirations.

"It makes a dramatic difference when you act in alignment with who you say you want to be." – Sam Tooley

They also talk about their training, current projects and what to expect for the next year. Making plans and setting goals when everything seems so imprecise is a hard thing to do, but sometimes in life we must take action first in order to change our vision of reality later. And prevailing through tough times only makes us stronger. According to Joe, this is the mindset for 2021.

"Even though it's counterintuitive, sometimes action comes before the change." – Joe Rinaldi

Training in the gym, exercising or being athletic is not just a way to get your body stronger, but also your mind. Pushing yourself through a running marathon, for example, might be as physically exhausting as mentally. In this week's episode, Joe Rinaldi and Dalton Laino have a great conversation about how to keep pushing yourself when you think you can't, how to become more resilient during tough times, and how Dalton was able to build his business from the ground with the difficulties of 2020.

Dalton also talks about his routine, his productivity and his habits around work and exercising. Inspired by Atomic Habits by James Clear, Dalton readjusted his normal activities following simple steps like waking up early in order to get more things done. With the experience of having launched a new project amidst the pandemic, Dalton shares some insights on how to thrive against all odds and the importance of health care during these times.

"I'm super proud of our profession and the things we are doing because we are putting ourselves in a position to actually help a lot of people in the way that I think we should be helping people." – Dalton Laino

Atomic Habits by James Clear

In this episode, Sam and Joe chat with Nick Pags, Coach and Motivational Speaker. Nick shares some really relatable insights about money, how to handle financial losses and difficulties, what setting goals can do for you, and how to be limitless in your day to day life. Nick also talks about how he coaches people with money issues, and which strategies he uses to help these people create the best timeline for financial goals.

"If you try to attach time to things, you're creating resistance from what actually is happening." – Nick Pags

You will get inspired to think about your own goals, why they never seem to be reached (you might need to adjust your technique), and what mindset you need to be having to simply think big. Additionally, Nick expresses his opinion about obstacles in life. According to him, a shocking experience that happened in the past might be the one thing that created the momentum you needed to be where you are.

"All of us get the opportunity to go through things and if we let it serve us, it will." – Nick Pags

Join your hosts Sam Tooley and Joe Rinaldi as they interview the co-founder of Live Better Co., Bret Gornik. Bret talks about how he makes an effort to be a better coach every day and how he tries to understand the clients he works with, instead of just training them. Being empathetic, chatting with clients, allowing them to trust you, caring for them, these are all keys to get people results and to feel aligned with your own purpose.

"The #1 thing I do when I coach somebody, whether it's business coaching, training, retreats, corporate settings is: I meet everybody where they're at." – Bret Gornik

Bret also highlights the importance of taking a breath and being mindful in order to perform better. Often times, when we face daily challenges, we forget how important it is to breath and that's exactly Bret's strategy to win the day. Also, according to him, being amongst other people who have the same purpose as you and the same mentality as you is a big part of being comfortable in your journey.

"If you surround yourself with the right people and you actively choose to be a part of these groups, and these goals and this state of mind then I really think that is attainable." – Bret Gornik

In this episode, Sam shares with us the lessons he took from his marathon that happened a few weeks ago and how he was able to overcome physical pain and exhaustion until he reached his limit. Working out, running a marathon, competing, or doing something that demands more of your body is not always about physical endurance. Sometimes you will have to push the mental barriers as well. Sam also talks about what to expect from yourself once your goal is accomplished.

"Once you reach that goal, once you reach the event, then all of a sudden you don't have that to focus or fixate on and you're just left with headspace." – Sam Tooley

In addition, Joe shares what he usually does to try and overcome the same mental barriers. In life, we have to – from time to time – deal with highs and lows. That's part of existing as a human being. But sometimes, the highs get too high and the lows too low. Joe explains that finding a balance on these situations is a result from: a) accepting the good experiences with modesty and b) trying to see the bad moments with a different vision.

"I think that something I'm personally working on, and a lot of people struggle with, is having humility in high points and putting things in perspective in the low points, so you can get back to where you need to be in the middle and focus on what you need to do." – Joe Rinaldi

On this episode, Joe Rinaldi receives guest Beau Whitman. Beau is a Cancer Recovery Coach who helps others to evolve and progress from a place of vulnerability. They have a conversation about opening up, sharing weaknesses, and dealing with obstacles in life. Beau shares that he had a huge amount of support when he was diagnosed with cancer and that inspired him to want to lend a hand to others.

"When people start opening up in these different patterns, their goal becomes a lot easier, becomes a lot clearer." – Beau Whitman

Sometimes in life you must deal with whatever is thrown at you. Overcoming obstacles is typically something difficult to do alone. Beau thinks that you're on the right path once you reach out for help:

Sam and Joe engage in a very honest chat about a variety of topics. You will hear about how they create content for social media, how they dealt with loneliness through some periods of their lives, and how they ended up accepting that these same regrets are responsible for where they are right now. Joe talks about his mentality on doing hard things:

"If I take the easy way out one day, I know that it has the potential to become a habit." – Joe Rinaldi

In addition, Sam shares some nice experiences on competing: how to be physically and mentally able to push yourself and how he make tough decisions when dealing with new projects. Adding more responsibilities to your plate is great, but only if you have resilience:

"I'd rather be really great at five things, than mediocre at ten." – Sam Tooley
