Meet the CEO of RBLD Fitness, Teddy. Teddy has obsessively studied, designed and applied a simple blueprint to fitness success that he teaches and personally lives by to this day. He coaches his 1:1 clients with this SAME blueprint, and now, you’ll learn how to train like him.

Ultimately, he created this program because he knows what it’s like to feel hopeless, disappointed, and directionless in  fitness pursuits. Yet, he also knows what it feels like to ask for help, put together a plan, and take consistent action to completely change one's life. He's been on both sides of the fence, and he wants to empower as many people as possible to do the same. This is his big purpose in life. 

Outside of getting his clients amazing and sustainable results, he lives in NYC with his wife Daphne and two doggos (Zenzi and Pack). He loves true crime documentaries, exploring the city, Chipotle delivery and lazy weekends.

Growing up in a toxic and abusive home environment, Bill Murphy was constantly overwhelmed by fear and doubt. Nevertheless he was motivated to show those around him that he could accomplish what he set out to do, in spite of being verbally and physically knocked down.

Bill believes that when the storm hits, you have three choices: give up and become a victim; do what you can to survive; or learn to thrive. You don’t need to have exceptional talents or resources to overcome adversity, be resilient, and achieve extraordinary goals. You are capable of more than you realize. You can learn to thrive. Bill Murphy is proof.

Bill will be the first to tell you he is nothing special, but he’s been able to overcome an abusive childhood, post-traumatic stress (PTSD), mental health challenges, and unexpected crises to finish an Ironman, earn a black belt in Krav Maga, and run the Boston Marathon five times—including one on crutches. He’s a regular guy who is now thriving at the top of his profession, too. Through his debut release, Thriving in the Storm, he seeks to explain how anyone can achieve similar success.

Outside of writing, Bill is also a nationally recognized mortgage originator who has closed over one and a half billion dollars in loans, and a top producer for 25 years. He has raised over $500,000 for the Make-A-Wish-Foundation, and actively supports a number of charities, including Fairway Cares, The American Warrior Initiative, and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. He is the founder of the nonprofit Thrive Foundation.

I know you will all enjoy this podcast and Bill's book, Thriving In the Storm.

Steven Twohig is a master of change and life integration resulting in life transformation. You will enjoy this episode! Thanks for joining us for episode 81 of The Rise Again Podcast.

Founder of Mastering Change, Steven Twohig has committed himself to mastering the art of transformation. While seeking to heal from trauma inflicted while just a toddler, Steven was introduced to the practice of shadow work in April of 2000, leading to a lifelong study and what he believes is a path to enlightenment. 

Steven spent a decade working for and studying under the world's leading business and life strategist, Tony Robbins. He wanted to blend shadow work with business strategy, integration, and implementation. Tony commissioned him to interview over 10,000 business leaders worldwide to determine what made them successful and help thousands transform their businesses to be more productive and strategic.

Currently, he is studying the impact of shadow work on psychedelic integration. He focuses on bridging the gap between traditional plant medicine and the western mind, intending to bring the insights and innovation that plant medicine provides to everyone who wants more out of their lives. He believes that we are finally on the cusp of proper mental healthcare, which will spur global innovation.

He is an international speaker and has traveled worldwide, teaching a blend of strategy, shadow work, and spirituality. He has extensive study in mindfulness, mindset, business optimization, shadow work and facilitation, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), hypnotherapy, group dynamics, peak performance, leadership dynamics, and unconscious communication. Through this work, he has formulated a specific framework for understanding the human experience and is currently training other guides to spread the practice.

His wife Miranda, shared a few words about Anthony; "Anthony Schmidt is many things.  He is a father, an entrepreneur, a cook, a bro, a man of God, a mentor and so so so much more.  But my favorite hat he wears is that of Husband.  Married for nearly 10 years, Anthony has been a pillar of strength, change, growth, love, kindness and humility in our marriage.  Daily, I am impressed by his desire to be better for himself, for God, for our family, and for me! On a professional level, Anthony owns 3 businesses. La Crosse Archery, a retail archery store in Onalaska, WI; Schmidty’s Specialty Strings, a bowstring manufacturing business, which he founded at 18 years old; and Schmidts+Giggles Bakery, an in home bakery specializing in cookies, which we founded when our daughter Stella was discharged from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit after being born at 29 weeks and spending the first 64 days of her life hospitalized."

This conversation is centered around healthy relationships, marriage and what we do for those we love when our hearts are in the right place. Anthony shares insights from a man living life in the trenches and his words and this conversation bring more to the surface of where we will go in future episodes.

Dylan Dearman lives an exemplary story of transformation. Growing up in Wisconsin hunting and fishing, Dylan married his high school sweetheart and soon found himself living a lifestyle that allowed him to weigh in at 315 lbs with arthritis, low back pain and prediabetes. When he saw a picture of himself at a Milwaukee Brewers game, he was shocked at what he saw in the picture. He decided it was time for a life-altering change.  

By rearranging his priorities, changing habits and getting a new support system, Dylan has completely changed his health and his future. He tried various diets from low calorie, to keto, to ultimately finding macro-counting to work most effectively. He also works out daily, recently crushing the Hero-WOD Murph in around 40 minutes. 

Dylan gives a lot of credit to his friends and wife who have held him accountable to change. He mentions 75 Hard, a program by Andy Frisella that was incredibly helpful in his transformation. 

Dylan is a champion of inspiration. He's a humble man who you will not hear talking abnout himself. This was his coming-out interview about his transformation, to the world. Let Dylan know how inspiring he is!
