Nick Sorrell on Saying No & Setting Boundaries Around Your Work | Life Beyond Fitness Ep.32

Nick and I chat through a few different topics: how input leads to output — if the latter is fucked, please adjust the former, best practices for networking and collaborating alongside others, and how saying no can help set boundaries around your work. Nick is bright, witty, and someone who has found success within an uncommon path.

Dr. Jordan Shallow on Digging In Your Heels & Taking Action | Life Beyond Fitness Ep.29

Jordan and I sat down for a memorable conversation over the necessity of digging in your heels and taking action.

Creating Conditions for Happiness & Finding Purpose Within | Life Beyond Fitness Ep.22

In this episode, I answer two questions that I have recently given some time to think over. The first, "how am I complicit in creating the conditions that I say I don’t want?" The second, "relying on the universe [or higher power] to give your life meaning verse finding meaning [or purpose] within." The next 20 minutes are there to give you a peek into my mind when thinking over these two topics.

Part 2 is audio from a video that I titled Living Up To Yourself & Capabilities . This video allows you to hear my thoughts around how underutilization can lead to feelings of depression and anxiety.

I owe a lot to Ryan Doris and his vlog series on YouTube. This series has allowed me to really think and consider things as I have met...
