"The price of greatness is responsibility."

― Winston Churchill

Happy New Year- we are HERE! That means you know what time it is… time to welcome back BFF and fellow business boss, Ashley Knight, to the T&T mic to do our annual "Year In Review" podcast! Ashley and I have been very intentional about personal evolution over that past couple years and I have even leaned specifically into mission driven humans for my business, KO Alliance, LLC and this podcast, of course. SO, I wanted recap 2021 and then really highlight our personal intentions and goals for 2022. Given the current landscape of our world, there is no better time than now to fully embrace personal responsibility and all the things we CAN control. This is not about religion, politics, or resolutions, it's about facilitating an attainable, sustainable, intentional, and inspiring vision for ourselves as individuals. If we can all dial ourselves in individually, perhaps collectively we can move the world in the right direction. We hope that the T&T Review + Preview: Intentions/ Goals Worksheet below offers you an opportunity to pause for your own self-reflection and intentions for this gift we call time, in this new year! Cheers, XO.

Highlights: Popping bottles… sort of. Balance, personal responsibility, happiness, growth, evolution, and accountability. 2021, mostly 2022. Current events, hope, aspirations, and choice. Selfcare, pro tips, and community. Good laughs, good friends, good grace:)

It's a new year and an opportunity to check in, so let's do so! I am pumped to welcome Steve Nagib, to the T&T mic to dial in an approach and mindset for 2022. Steve is a long-time health and wellness professional working with all levels and arenas from personal training, to collegiate sports, to the pros. Through Steve's diverse experience and wealth of time spent with all kinds of human beings, he's formed a very forward-thinking approach to life, health, and wellness. Steve equally emphasizes the focus on the mental and the physical heath, passionate about broadening the perspectives of his clients to truly achieve wellness, the right way. We, as humans, are getting more and more conscious as consumers and are seeing a multitude of new options to questions a better way- especially around our health. That being said, the health and wellness arena can be overwhelming to navigate. If you have a trustworthy guide like Steve to help light the way, you streamline your path to wellness! Don't be overwhelmed with the idea of immediate, dramatic changes… go one step at a time, keeping the mindset right so the body can follow. Enter into this new year the right way, knowing you are already enough.

Highlights:

Questioning a better way. Health, wellness, and evolving paths to happiness. Passion, purpose, and the journey. Evolution and evolving missions. Mission driven humans. Adding in vs. taking out. You don't need to be more. Slow, sustainable change. Mindset over masochism. Your crew, your inspiration. Mental health and physical health and how they work together. Whole human approach. The human condition. Therapy, because that's how you level up.

Steve's diverse work experience has included collegiate athletics at Gonzaga University, professional athletics with the NBA Developmental Academy, and amateur athletics as a personal trainer.

"Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things."

– Peter F. Drucker, author and educator

Happy New Year! Let's go 2022… even if you are listening to this throughout the year, there is no better time to dial in and redefine your own leadership! I am so excited to once again be aligning with my longtime friend and fellow entrepreneur, Jessica Crow. Jesscia is the Founder of Apogy and an expert in change management! Jessica invited me on to Apogy' December's live event, Redefine Your Leadershipand I loved it so much, I had to release it as a podcast to kick off the new year.

This year in life and on T&T, I am going to be focusing on personal responsibility, evolution, and leadership- for mission driven humans specifically. The state of the world has fully inspired us to take hold of our own lives and be the change that we want to see everywhere else. We have to cease control in so many areas, because the reality is we have none. So, we will focus on what we CAN control: ourselves and our actions that in turn inspire and lead others. No matter how big or small you might think your impact is, people are watching and are influenced more that you know. Join Jessica and myself in accepting the responsibility in our everyday actions and leadership and shifting the perspective around that responsibility to an exciting one. Know that just by working to be your flawed, authentic self, you can inspire someone else to do the same. Collectively, we just might gain some control on the uncontrollable:). Cheers to a great new year and time spent on a worthy cause, you. XO.

This one is a video, so be sure to check us out on You Tube!

Highlights:

KO being interviewed this go around! Change management, leadership, mission driven humans. Taking control, responsibility, and being excited about it. Influencers IRL. New year, same you, it's already enough. Recognizing opportunity. Evolution and self-care. Diversity and inclusion. Authenticity and attitude. Knowing that every good thing came from change.

Jessica Crow is the founder of Apogy, a change management training, coaching, and consulting firm based in Denver, Colorado. Jessica started Apogy in 2019 after 16 years of successfully leading change and transformation for top companies including DaVita, Prologis, and Accuvant (now Optiv). During this time, Jessica started teaching yoga, where she developed a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection and how to help people experience positive, lasting change. Apogy is the culmination of this knowledge, combined with best practices and proven strategies for achieving change success.

Video Details:

The replay for Apogy' December's live event, Redefine Your Leadership, is now available on YouTube!

"The nutritional, mental, physical and spiritual components of a person's life must act synergistically for growth to occur... "

-Darryl Cohen

I am so PUMPED to welcome longtime friend and biz bud, Darryl Cohen to the T&T Mic! Darryl, a mission driven consumer packaged goods operations expert, and I met years ago at a CrossFit event and casually exchanged cards about a brand he was working with at the time. We have done several projects since then and have run into each other at different national events- it's a small health and wellness world, ha. BUT really, mission driven humans seem to always find each other! You know you are doing something right if you have people like Darryl in your world working alongside you. Darryl and I have had many deep convos way beyond nutrition and wellness: whole body and whole mind approaches to walking through life as a varsity human. It's not an easy path, as discussed here, but if you surround yourself with the right people and intentionally show up, things just might start to work out for you and good will come your way. It's never simple, but always worth it. Darryl shares his journey thus far and all that he is looking forward to personally and professionally. He shares many wise words and life pro tips, grab a pen and be ready to catch some power vibes!

Highlights:

Questioning a better way. Teamwork, dream work. Mission driven humans. Vibes, tribes, and living intentionally. Mico vs. macro perspectives. Start with self to make real change. Clean eating and thinking. Balance and do the best you can, while having fun. Taking punches. Learning life lessons. Seeking joy and living in gratitude.

Darryl Cohen:

Board Certified Holistic Nutritionist

Darryl Cohen has been interested in nutrition and fitness since a young age. After moving to Colorado from the East Coast nine years ago, Darryl worked as a manager at kickboxing gym. During that time, he noticed something strange. Many of his clients, while motivated, were missing something from their health and fitness routine. For some, a high-intensity workout was no sweat, until they got home and started snacking. For others, they had no problem making the right food choices, but lacked confidence in the gym. For many more, Darryl saw a fundamentally broken relationship with health and fitness. It was for this reason Darryl decided to establish Catalyst Colorado.

Darryl adopted a multifaceted approach to nutritional coaching, incorporating three distinct pillars: science, psychology and spirituality. In his experience, he discovered one or more of these pillars are neglected during nutrition and fitness endeavors. This neglect creates imbalances and becomes unsustainable in the long-term. Darryl adopts a wholistic approach from day one, helping others reach their goals by focusing on repairing their relationship with food, and he is here to help those around him achieve the lasting physical and spiritual transformation they themselves know they're capable of.

This is a fun, necessary one! I am excited to welcome Anjelica Roman, longtime great friend and #FitFam, to the T&T mic! Anjelica is a marketing professional in Colorado, like myself. Unlike me, she is a dating pro- or at least I think so! She speaks the language of the dating apps and has had success (and some fails) navigating the "singles" waters of digital Denver and beyond. I am newer to the game and have called Anjelica to help me read between the lines or straight up translate on several occasions- so I knew we need to podcast about this. In 2021 everything is digital, even love… or relationships on any level. I am one to go with evolution and innovation, but I was a late sell on online dating. After all it was a breakthrough for me to really realize why it just didn't make sense in my mind… because I quite literally am an expert in creating mutually beneficial relationships for the long term aka strategic partnerships- professionally anyways ha. I should be good at this I guess, but not so. Being intentional about opening up the heart (and mind) is not easy IRL or digitally it turns out. If you are new to online dating or have run many laps, this convo is for you! Anjelica and I unpack our experiences, truths, thing we have learned and why we BOTH think online dating is something everyone should try. #lifeskills ya'll. Pack a helmet tho. At the minimum you'll gain some insight and have some laughs… like we both did.

Highlights:

Online dating. WTF. An open mind, open heart, and a phone charger. Life skills through sport. Just kidding, sort of. Meeting people in 2021 and what we can bring into 2022. Trail, error, success, failure, tequila. Getting to know yourself. Confidence. Practice. We are all here to learn from one another, perhaps we can streamline your dating process.

Anjelica Roman:

Denver native, marketing expert, chronically single- navigating menver with a pup in hand.

"Know your worth. People always act like they're doing more for you than you're doing for them."

– Kanye West

I am so excited to welcome Lindsay Simonds to the T&T mic! Lindsay is a fellow Colorado native and all things non-profit pro! Lindsay founded LSC (Lindsay Simonds Consulting) in 2017 and is a senior, non-profit, fundraising and management professional with a decade of experience partnering with organizations for transformational change. Having raised over $1 billion philanthropic dollars Lindsay's mission and the message are just beginning. Today we discuss Lindsay's journey navigating the nonprofit world where investing and spending are often misunderstood. Shouldn't we do it all for free if for charity? No. We explain why AND how this awareness of self-worth translates into all you do, in every arena (personally and professionally). Dialing into your self-worth, measured by money or time, can be a tricky process. It's takes time, awareness, trail, and error to really dial into your own valuation point. Then there are the conversations around price point phycology and your own narrative around money. We are here to unpack it all with you! If you are an emerging or experienced entrepreneur (or thinking about taking the leap), this conversation is for you! Developing self-worth and putting a price on it is not easy, but very necessary. Enjoy this convo and put some respect on the checks you will continue to write to yourself… #youreworthit :)

Highlights:

Giving and making money in the nonprofit space. Self-awareness, self-worth, growth. Money management and identifying our own narrative around money. How to ask for money and how to know what you deserve. Comparing the non-profit and for-profit work spaces. Monetizing the scares, battles, time, and energy. Taking the leap from the corporate world to the entrepreneurial one. Priorities and priority shifts. Maturity, security, and taking risks.

"One of the marvelous things about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people in a way we couldn't as individuals."

– Jean Vanier

I am so excited for this one! We are fresh off Podfest Origins, a podcast-based multimedia expo in Florida, and I have my first pod-connect, Peter Ong. Peter is coming to us live from Kuala Lumpur, a Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. That is right, we are worlds apart and yet share the love of podcasting! In a divide world, now more than ever we need unity. What better way to unite than for our love of podcasting and the podcasting community? Peter is a podcaster (obviously), Japanese speaking online marketer, coach, and animation video creator. We talk about Peter's journey into business and podcasting and how we both embraced the Chris Krimitsos, Founder and Creator of Podfest, motto, Start Ugly! It's not easy to get on the mic and share your voice, but it is necessary. You can learn from our journeys that it can be a work in progress (podcasting or any new challenge/ adventure) just begin and be open to evolution as you go. Who knows, you might end up with friends around the world at the very least! Community is everything and finding yours is easier than ever- use your voice, share your words, and make friends… the world needs your individuality to unite accordingly (aka niche communities = family:). Everything is easier when you have the supportive efforts of the fam! Highlights: Entrepreneurship. Podcasting and the podcasting community. Crossing paths because of common ground. The power of community, support, and chasing the dream. Questioning a better way and using your voice. Starting ugly and imposter syndrome. Branding and marketing. Connection.
