Competition can be a driving force behind everything we do.  But what if the competition was with yourself and even with your bad habits? Jake Thompson, founder of the company Compete Every Day is on a mission to work with organizations and individuals to teach how they can develop accountability, mental resilience, and leadership skills in order to make bigger impacts in their careers and in their life.  It’s through his experience and research that he’s discovered how people who harness a competitive mindset against themselves can reach their goals, commit to action over motivation, and step into the leader they were created to be.  I loved having Jake on the show because we are both so passionate about how mindset molds resilience, mental toughness, happiness, and drive.

I really enjoyed talking with Jake because he is incredibly inspiring, humble, and passionate. I think you'll enjoy him too! Jake is a busy and multi-faceted guy.  He is a speaker, podcast host of his show, Cultivate a Winning Mindset, Chief Encouragement Officer of his tshirt company Compete Every Day, Author of a new book coming out soon, and more!

Inside Tracker: Take a Selfie from the Inside

Use Code: CHEERSSONYA for $200 OFF the Ultimate Test 

Inside Tracker is a company that uses bloodwork to assess biomarkers, blood analysis, athletic performance, and nutrition software to optimize fitness and longevity.  Founded in 2009, the Boston company first started working with professional athletes who wanted to see what their biomarkers, hormone and mineral profiles looked like during their training and how they could use nutrition and lifestyle to improve.  They measure over 30 biomarkers and recommend food and supplements to optimize thinks like your energy, cognition, endurance, heart health, and more. I started working with Inside Tracker in 2017.  I liked it because their ranges for your biomarkers change based on your goals. I also think it’s important to have baseline and also recurrent bloodwork as you age and also simply as an athlete.
