Wake Up The Sun

I met Brandon and Alison through a mutual friend. I was told they were stating a new beverage business that they were incredibly excited about It. They were down south visiting family so we met up at FROPRO. I was instantly blown away by their kindness, story and  passion for their new beverage startup which is a cold brew coffee preworkout called UNBARD. Both avid fitness enthusiasts that connected when the pandemic hit as they were working out at the neighborhood gym. They always had their coffee and preworkout and realized that there wasn't anything like that around so they began testing and doing hot coffee, pourovers which finally led to cold brew. 

The fun behind the name is that they were both looking for something outside their corporate legal job. We got to sit down and talk about starting a business and doing It for the right reasons and truly loving each day you get. At some point they realized that while they loved law It wasn't something that saw as a long term life option. They knew It would take time like any good idea does but they stuck It out  to perfect the right balance of taste & flavor combos. the result was a delicious, quick and easy drink to take prior to a workout. A delicate balance of taste, energy and awesomeness UNBARD coffee was ready to take to the masses. As the 2022 year began they brand new packaging was delivered right in time for the WODAPALOOZA Miami fitness event. People from all over the US were able to sample and taste their delicious product. Please check out all they are doing @UNBARDcofee, @Alison_martin or @brandonkrumins on instagram. You can also order on their website www.unbardcoffee.com. Enjoy the show!

Do you return the cart?
Are you too busy?
Do you think its someone else's job?
Why leave It on the grass or curb?
Why not just turn It over on its side and leave It in the middle of the parking spot?
How good would It feel to return It to where It belongs?
ie- the cart corral or at the front of the store

Just some thoughts to ponder.
Have a most triumphant day.

In a first time ever on the wake up the sun show we invited former guest, Adam Jablin back on the show to dive into entrepreneurship. The definition of an entrepreneur is a person who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on financial risks in the hope of profit. 

Adam was in the third generation silk/textile production family business. When the time arose for the family to sell It was a big life change and one that prompted a new career path. That career path was one that was to be for him to go on alone. He always had a passion for helping people and the heroes journey.  By helping people discover what stands in their way, Adam works on the direct and honest conversation of "PLAYING ALL OUT" in every situation. From relationships, to business, parenting, mortality and other life goals his clients are able to reach their ultimate potential and live a life that they are proud of when all is said and done.

Adam and I discuss the challenges of living in the now and making sure that you aim to do everything in your life with tact, proper motive and involving yourself in experiences that are in line with your passion. There are many advantages and disadvantages of being an entrepreneur and one of the most common themes is are you doing something for your business to help It grow or just "staying busy" to look like you are doing work.

This is our first deep dive into a specific topic with someone who started from the ground floor. It opens the doors to many more conversations that people struggle with daily. If you are seeking to change something in your life please visit Adam on instagram @adamjablin or on his website at www.adamjablin.com. You can also google THE HERO PROJECT to find out more information on Adam and everything he is up to.

Living in South Florida for close to 13 years now, I have met some incredible people with some amazing stories. On todays podcast I had the chance to speak with local artist, Cruise Bogle. We were connected by a mutual friend and while I had heard about Cruise and his story through the community and local charity events It was amazing to hear his story firsthand and what he's been up to. 

In 2008, Cruise returned home to Delray Beach from college and was enjoying the beach life with his friends. In a crazy skim boarding accident, Cruise fell backwards and hit his head hard on the sand which paralyzed him from the shoulders down. In a split second his life changed  in where he would relearn skills through intensive rehab, working with the Shepherd Center to regain strength in certain areas to return home and live life. 

His passion for creating art has always been of interest and he began painting seascapes and other art with the use of his mouth. He's interested in building a massive portfolio in which he can express himself creatively though his art. His father recently adapted a way for him to paint using a spray paint gas mask to create other versions of art.  Another medium is splatter art in which he can design different shoes, shirts and or canvases with a multitude of color by running over tubes of paint with the wheel of his chair.  His newest passion, however is on the tech side and creating NFTs called the Curious Creature Collective which would be the first ever physically mouth painted generative NFT project in history. It launches April 4th, 2022.

Cruise opened up about how the pandemic changed everything for him and allowed him to focus on himself. We chatted about "toxic positivity",  true honest communication with those around you, breathing and appreciating the day for what It is, prioritizing mental health, being a sex symbol, practicing kindness to all who you meet and avoiding being a jackass. 

Please tune in, enjoy the show and go follow his amazing journey and check in on all he has going on. I promise It will be something you will not want to miss. You can find Cruise @cruiseybabbby, @cruisebogledesignss, @staycuriousnft on instagram or his website at www.cruisebogle.com. Thank you for listening and have a most triumphant day.

I met coach back in my first couple months living down in South Florida. As a recent transplant from NY, teaching and coaching at a local private school, I met Jeff while I was walking out to the baseball field. His team, coaching staff and energy was spread out across several different open fields and It was an absolute display of high intense energy and controlled chaos. I was informed of the lacrosse team legend upon moving down and accepting a teaching position but I had never seen anything quite like that when stepping out on the fields. 

We both went different directions after that school year as I had a life change and Jeff was let go after 19 years as head coach and achieving multiple state championships. Think about that....A 19 year routine changed in an instant. I stayed in touch with coach over the years and we bumped into each other at different gyms and local events and he was always positive and carried that same intensity and passion for helping people into several new ventures. Today he still mentors his sons, many young gentleman in sports and life coaching. 

He uses a unique term of finding your ZAZAZOO - which is what drives you to be your best in everything you get to do in a day. His daily routine allows for him to pack a lot into one day from meeting with those in the community, coaching, working out and balancing his love for the ocean, fitness, health and wellness. He aims to be and share being a better human being every day with anyone he comes into contact with.  You can reach Coach on instagram @premierplayerslacrosse. Enjoy the show!

First time family member on the podcast and grateful to have my oldest brother on while visiting South Florida. His mission is to improve overall health, wellness and knowledge about oneself through breath work and hormesis.  As my older brother lives in the shire of Vermont, I don't get to visit with him as often as I would like but last time I was there we jumped into an ice cold river during late October. Over the years, I watched him do his breathing, cold exposure and beam therapy prior to the river plunge but this was my first experience plunging into close to freezing temperatures.  It was an exhilarating experience and one that I wished to replicate down in warm sunny South Florida which I was able to do with a chest freezer in my own garage. I began to study breath work and add into my daily routine in addition to therapy by studying the Wim Hof method during the pandemic.

I was happy to have Rob on the show after his Peak Flow workshop where he led several people through breathing protocols, restorative movement and cold therapy using Ice Barrel technology. His routine has been in place for years and whether at home or on family vacation he finds It extremely important to start every day the same way: breathe, meditate, move, plunge and set the intention for a successful day. Energy flows where the focus goes and he encourages TEAM HUMAN to take action in bettering their overall health one day at at time by doing things that may be uncomfortable. You can follow Rob on insta @dryakrob or @peakflow_ and please reach out with any questions regarding his upcoming workshops around the world. Please enjoy the show!

I have known Ian since he was a middle schooler. Watching him grow up and transform into a hard working full time student Columbia Dental School in NYC has been a gift. One of my favorite things during the holidays is when he and his sisters come home to visit and we get to spend time with them. This 2021 holiday season was cut short unfortunately with one of the most tragic accidents I've ever seen. While casually walking home in downtown Miami, Ian and his friend were tragically struck down in a hit and run accident. Life changed in an instant for Ian and thankfully he is in full recovery mode. From the trauma hospital and ICU, he was transferred to the Lynn recovery unit in downtown Miami and finally home. 

While in the rehab facility, I had the chance to sit down and chat with Ian about how this life changing accident has changed his perception. He spoke about how one moment you are fully independent and then the next you are relying on someone to do everything for you and in extreme pain. He had to relearn how to walk, move and re-evaluate what is the most important in daily activities. He talks about working hard but not taking for granted the little things that now seem the most important. Im really grateful that he wanted to speak on something so life changing and shed some light on a changed perception and appreciating every day that we get. Enjoy the show and please reach out to Ian with any advice or support to keep the recovery process going @ianedelman on instagram. Enjoy the show!

I met Greg through his cousin in Delray Beach over the phone during the pandemic. We connected over fitness and loving life. I was fortunate to go on his podcast Midlife Male podcast to chat about topics on motivation, family, life, business and finding the WHY and HOW to get It all done. During the end of the 2021 holiday season Greg was visiting South Florida with his family and we had the chance to workout several times and I got to sit down and have him on the Wake up the Sun Show.

He is a coach and certainly practices what he believes and lives by. He goes into a deep dive with his clients and they focus on the 6Fs --- Family, Fitness, Finance, Food, Fashion/style and Fun. He examines these areas of life and figures out the why but really dives into the HOW which he believes is often overlooked. He helps people create a lifestyle that is truly sustainable and making sure that time is scheduled for everything needed to get accomplished in each day. Enjoy the show and please contact Greg @gregscheinman on instagram or his podcast midlifemale on any podcast platform or his website at www.midlifemale.com or by email at [email protected]. Have an awesome day!

I first met Coach back at XPE over bags of FROPRO corner pieces.  We stayed in touch over the years since both of us had connection to the fitness community here in South Florida. With the change that the Covid pandemic brought to everyone in the world It gave Andrew a chance to make a big decision and go off on his own from working with the same awesome crew for the last 10 years at XPE.

After serving our country, Andrew's fitness journey began down in south Florida  in FAU after hearing a local trainer speak about the opportunities available for those willing to put in the work and get It done. He showed up day in and out alongside master trainers to assist in the NFL combine workouts to gain understanding and experience. There were many years of frustration but through his daily routine of consistently showing up, honing his training and time spent with clients he rapidly became one of the most sought after high school/collegiate coaches in the South Florida area. His motto of wanting to dig deeper and connect to his clients in all aspects of life are what leads him to success each and every day.

Please enjoy the show and you can connect with Andrew and opportunities to train with him on instagram @andrewspruill_. As he states with a sign off of the show, 
"Nobody cares, work harder'"

I met Jaye Marie at a charity golf event several years ago and was blown away by her grace, gratitude and connection to her community & fans. She took the time to speak with everyone who came up to her for a photo, autograph and chatting about golf.  It's rare to encounter someone that operates in such a way and follow her professional golf journey since. She began playing golf at the age of 11 and found it rather boring at first playing alongside her brother on a par 3 course.   

Recently I ran into her on the golf course with her family and invited her on the show prior to the start of the 2022 golf season.  We spoke about really wanting to have It more than anyone else when competing on the professional level as well as the seeking of "being in the zone" when everything clicks on and off the course. She is a believer in  never giving up and has evolved personally and professionally over the years to give herself and others the grace that its not going to be perfect.

Please enjoy the show and follow the beginning of the 2022 season on the LPGA by following the LPGA leaderboard or her personal account on instagram  @jayemgreen.
