THRIVEONLIFE Podcast: Helping people live better lives with tips on health, wealth, and happiness.

Ashlyn Knox isn't like most college students these days. Instead of working a minimum wage job for just enough to buy some alcohol for the parties, she'd actually rather wake up at 5 AM and go to her "unpaid" job.

Why?

Because she took the time to question what she ENJOYS, puts her HEALTH first, and has seen first hand the IMPACT she's made on the lives of the people she works with. Ashlyn is a full-time McCombs School of Business student at UT AND she's on the road to becoming the next household name in #atxfitness as a personal trainer!

And it is her humble "always learning" attitude, her willingness to put in the work when no one's looking and continuing to surround herself with the right people that have kept her on the fast track to greatness. This episode is perfect for you if you are a college student wondering how you can make the most out of your time in school and live your life with PURPOSE and THRIVE.

Corey Lawson was called into the principal's office one day when he was 7 years old. He was a bit of a trouble maker and just thought he'd gotten caught this time. But when he stepped into the office, his mom was there, and she was crying. Hard. "Corey, your father collapsed. He's gone."

Meeting Corey today, you wouldn't have any idea he'd experienced such tragedy. He lights up the room with his vibrant, positive energy. But it wasn't always this way. In his darkest moments, fitness, sports, team camaraderie, and coaches were there for him.

It is in honor of his father and the other positive male influences in his life that Corey aims to help as many people as possible achieve optimal health and live their best lives, because we never know if today is our last day.

Corey is the founder of Claw Athletics, a health and fitness company that provides boot camps, social activities, 1:1 personal fitness training, and online training for millennials, by millennials.

It wasn't an easy road getting to where Corey is today, and in this episode, he shares every bump and rock bottom moment along the way.

Key Themes in this episode

-Why Corey is driving around Austin, Texas in silence nowadays

-Pivotal moments for Corey and CJ when they realized it was time to quit the corporate 9-5 and go all in on their side hustles

-How Corey stuck it out when NO ONE cared about his boot camp all-in for the first YEAR

-Key mistakes Corey made early on in his business

"There were officers a couple feet away from us and this woman next to me is sobbing her eyes out and I'm like...Savannah, I love you too but just keep it cool 'cause I don't wanna get arrested right now." -Scott

If you would have asked Scott and Savannah years ago if they think they'd be where they are now, the answer would probably (definitely) be no.

Where they are now is the result of both of them following their intuition, leaning in even when there was fear, and taking risks.

If you want to change the world, you have to start with changing yourself first, and that means taking risks in your personal life in order to grow.

Find out how Scott went from doing a sales job he hated to starting his own video and photography business, and how Savannah pivoted from makeup sales to fitness coaching with 101K followers on Instagram, both of them by saying "yes" to multiple opportunities even when they weren't sure what would come of it.

We also talk about:

-How they met, fell in love, and ended up in Austin

-Why Savannah was crying on a bench after their first date

-The importance of following your intuition

-What is the 168 rule? And how it's helped Scott be more productive and efficient

-How the HECK does CJ work on SO MANY PROJECTS AT ONCE??

-How Savannah transitioned from cosmetics to fitness and how her client FB group is changing lives

If you have any video, photo, design or systems needs feel free to reach out to Scott on IG at @scottsimnz or @hyperphocal

If you are interested in anything fitness related reach out to Savannah on IG at @savannah_joyyy or [email protected]

“Two key qualities to have when we wake up every day: optimism and gratitude, because that’s what saved our lives” -Marcel

This month on the "Thrive On Life Podcast", we're spotlighting ATX men and women who are work on/in multiple jobs/orgs/projects to help the community. They do not allow their “title” to define what they can or cannot do and they keep challenging themselves to learn new things, and help others do the same.

Wondering how to establish yourself in a brand new city after you’ve left your small town and all you know behind? If you’ve had the dream to get out of your small town but have hesitated to go all in and do it because you’re worried about how you’ll make friends and make money, this conversation will open your eyes.

Myself, Ross and Marcel totally relate on leaving our home towns to come to Austin, Texas, and how we went from knowing no one, to having a THRIVING network of strong friendships all supporting each other in our businesses. Austin truly has a certain potent energy but you’ll find this conversation useful no matter what city you’re moving to--even if you’re going all the way abroad! It’s all about two things: NETWORKING and PUTTING AWAY YOUR EGO.

A few highlights:

• The breaking point that finally led Ross and Marcel to fly away from the nest
