YAK ABOUT TODAY

Thanks for listening, I’m David yakir and you know I’ve been thinking about the time when I was young and wanted to be a fireman. It followed me one way or another throughout my life. Those stories later. But now I had a chance to speak to a real fireman albeit from Melbourne Australia and how he’s used his experience to coach others. Warning: For the USA audience, listen carefully - accent coming your way. So that’s what we’ll yak about today.
 

About The Career Project
At The Career Project, we believe that choosing a career or changing career is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make. And we know from experience that you can’t figure it out by sitting at home researching careers online and trawling job search sites.  
To make an informed career decision we believe you should get out of the house and experience it in the real world!  This means talking to industry insiders face-to-face so you can really begin to understand whether your career idea is aligned with your personality, strengths and values.  Industry insiders are also vital to providing you with accurate and timely information in regard to how easy or difficult it is to secure employment in that field, and what you can do to increase your opportunities.
The Career Project will help you identify an Industry Mentor in your area of interest who is willing to share their knowledge at an Informational Interview or Job Shadow Opportunity. Our mentors are committed to helping you make a better career decision by providing you with insights into the role, the industry and the work environment.  This is important information that simply cannot be obtained via online research or by attending University Open Days and Career Expos.
The experience with a mentor will validate and test your ideas to see whether your potential career choice is going to suit YOU. This will potentially save you unnecessary expenses such as study fees, business set-up costs and much more if you choose a career that isn’t the right fit.

Inspiring for Active People
The Active Life Chiropractic and Soft Tissue is comfortably located in Island Park, New York just a quarter mile north of Long Beach, New York and a mile South of Oceanside. It is very easily accessible from Rockville Centre and most towns on Long Island and Queens.
It is commonly understood that when you visit a chiropractor you can expect relief from conditions like lower back pain, back pain, and neck pain, but because we specialize in the treatment of sports injuries at The Active Life, we treat injuries related to knee pain, elbow pain, ankle pain and shoulder pain just as effectively every day. If you have pain caused by a spinal disc injury, muscle, ligament, tendon, or joint and you are not in need of surgery, The Active Life is the office for you. Our office blends the traditional treatment methods used by a chiropractor with those used in physical therapy at the highest level to treat sports injuries more effectively than any other office in the world. The best news, we are right here in Island Park, New York, just a quarter mile north of the Long Beach Bridge.
CrossFit Athletes especially enjoy working with us here at The Active Life. With the top CrossFit athletes in the world flying out regularly from all over the world for their evaluations, treatments, and continuing exercise protocols the CrossFit population has taken an especially deep interest in The Active Life. One of the reasons The Active Life has become so popular with CrossFitters (besides the quality of care) is that our office is directly attached to CrossFit Island Park (formerly CrossFit King of the Beach in Long Beach New York) which is a gym that has been recognized on the biggest stage in the CrossFit world at the CrossFit Games. Whether you are an athlete with a sports injury or an individual who just wants to have less pain doing the laundry or working in the garden, your treatment is likely to eventually land you in our gym to learn how you can best work to improve your strength and mobility wherever you currently work out.
We understand that when you are looking for a Chiropractor or Physical Therapy that our office is unique in our approach and might not be what you thought you were looking for. We also understand that if you are dealing with sports injuries, back pain, neck pain, lower back pain, knee pain, elbow pain, shoulder pain, or any musculoskeletal dysfunction, there is nowhere better in the world for you to go for care. If you live in Long Beach, Island Park, Oceanside, or Rockville Centre we are less than 15 minutes away. With patients flying in from all over the world for treatment at The Active Life, we strongly recommend you make the drive

What can I say. Here's some answers to your questions. And a special tech segment on "How I cut the Cord"

The Maura Sweeney Story
Between 1974 and the present, my transformation from the inside out!
Over the years, I’ve come a long way. When I was a youth and a pre-teen, my grandmother called me “Waterworks” because I could cry at the drop of a hat. Growing up, I felt powerless, isolated, restricted and most of all groomed. In my case, the “grooming” was focused on all my outside accomplishments and attributes rather than from a nurturing of my true self.  We’ve all got some kind of outer expectations, parental training and other social messaging that can cause us to go astray from our true self by following what’s outside rather than waiting to bloom from our inner soul. 
If pictures could tell a thousand words, then the above series of photos should do just that. They demonstrate how, by choosing to live happy and authentically from my inner thoughts, intentions and choices, I’ve emerged as a brighter and more confident person. Most people remark that I looked lonely and bereft and heavy-laden (even without the suitcases!) in that first image above, yet I was only 15 years old! In the second image, I’m 23 and mid-way through law school studies. About a month later, I couldn’t get up from my own chair to drive myself to class. When I tried to speak, no audible words came out of my mouth. I was unable to express myself!
Many people reach their “Waterloo” moment, but this was mine.  Unable to continue in a future 40 year law career and an identity I never wanted, I exited law school and my family’s long held expectations to follow my own path. I needed to feel the light within me reignite and, while I had no idea as to what my next act would be or how I’d proceed forward, I set out on my own journey. 
You can read more about my life afterward in several of my blogs and books, but toward career purpose) to today.

I'm lucky enough to think young, act young and keep myself physically young. BUT, am i really too old to go back into the workforce.  I asked my new friend Mac Prichard to help me out here.
When Mac’s List began, it didn’t have a name. It wasn’t a company. It was just one person who wanted to serve his professional network and help people find work that mattered to them.

Back in 2001, Mac Prichard started emailing job openings to a few dozen friends and colleagues. He wanted to keep in touch and share great work opportunities that he had found. Today, Mac’s List has grown to an online community of over 45,000 people. But our goals remain the same: to help people discover meaningful work opportunities in Portland, Oregon, and beyond.
 
Mac’s List is more than a regional job board. We’re the premier resource for helping passionate, creative professionals learn how to find meaningful and rewarding work in Portland, Oregon, and Washington. Besides our job listings, Mac’s List also shares job search advice and resources through our books, podcast, and online courses. And as a Certified B Corporation, we’re part of a global movement to use business as a force for social good. Whether you’re looking for your first job, hoping to find a better job or just need tools to manage the direction of your career, the Mac’s List team is here to help.

Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is a veteran psychologist and was the long time CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. You may have seen his (or his company's)  previous work, theories, and research in major periodicals like The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Sun Times, The Indiana Star Ledger, The NY Daily News, American Demographics, or any of the other major media outlets you see on this page.  You may also have heard him on ABC, WGN, and/or CBS radio, or UPN TV.
Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, Dr. Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants.  Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food.

I woke up that morning in a suite at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas. I felt terrible.I was in town for a trade show and the night before a client had taken me to dinner. We ordered these massive, hundred-dollar steaks, drank several glasses of wine, and gorged ourselves on ice cream and desserts.
I’d brought the leftovers back to the room and they were still sitting on the counter. I glanced around the room. Although they had upgraded my room to a suite, the place was run down and sad. There was a Jacuzzi in the middle of the room and the place reeked of alcohol a previous guest had spilled.
I got out of bed and looked at myself in the full-length mirror. I was six-foot-two and I weighed 235 pounds I carried it well, but, not well enough. I felt sick. I was flabby and tired and filled with regret and remorse. I was going through my second divorce, I was in a lawsuit with my first wife, and my blood pressure was so high that my doctor had put me on medicine to control it. Vegas baby!
As I stood in front of the mirror, I asked myself, “How the hell did I get here?”
 
 
Part CEO, part personal development wonk, and part biohacker info geek, King is a self-confessed serial entrepreneur. While his favorite book list contains many success-oriented and personal-development classics, the classic definition of achieving success (e.g. make a lot of money) is not what inspires or motivates King. He follows more of a “you aren’t doing well unless you’re also doing some good” line of thinking. King’s company has been built around the simple principle of “do the right thing.”
Founded by King in 1999, Stevia Brands Inc. is one of the largest importers, manufacturers and distributors of clean-label sweetening systems and natural sweeteners. Emulating such renowned entrepreneurs such as the Wright Brothers and Steve Jobs, King started his company by first asking the critical question, “Why?” Based on the understanding that it’s only by determining the “why” of what you want to do that you can achieve lasting success, King’s business isn’t simply something he does for a living. It stands as a testament to who he is, what he does and how he lives his life.
King’s “why” is simple. A bit of a foodie and health nut, food has always been a passion for King — particularly high-quality food that makes the planet a healthier place and maintains a level of sustainability. He founded Steviva as a way to effectively help combat metabolic disease and the “diabesity” (his self-coined term) epidemic in this country by offering clean-label sweetening systems to replace sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup.

 
 
Have you ever wondered how yournutrition and the nutritional supplements you take each day affect your overall health? Many doctors, nutritionists, and even fitness trainers recommend taking a multi-vitamin or nutrition supplement to their patients and clients because, in today’s society, most people aren’t getting the vitamins and nutrients they need in their normal daily diet.
Dr. Stephen Lewis talks  about the use of dietary supplements and how they affect your lab test results as well as your overall health and wellness. Dr. Lewis is a chiropractor with a long history of helping people achieve their maximum potential.
