In this episode I wrap up our series on Physical Transformation with my Big ideas, Big Takeaways and Big Actions. I began our series with a conversation with celebrity trainer Don Saladino who regularly trains the likes of Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, and Hugh Jackman. Instead of mere tips and tricks and hacks he gave the hardcore lesson on mindset and how it’s more about how we think than merely how we train. I just watched the new Christmas movie starring Ryan Reynolds, Spirited, with my kids ...

We continue our series on Physical Transformation. I kicked us off with celebrity coach Don Saladino who is well known as trainer of the biggest names in Hollywood such as Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Emily Blunt, Jake Gyllenhaal, Hugh Jackman and more. I appreciate he gets paid big bucks for results. Period. So he can’t sugarcoat or minimize what it takes to transform a body. Which is…hard, and it takes far more than just giving direction on how to lift weights, run, and eat. So I asked my frie...

I’m back with fitness trainer and leader Don Saladino for this series on physical transformation. In our previous episode we dove deep into the myriad of complexities and information overload on diet and nutrition and exercise and what it really takes to transform our physical selves, whether you’re Ryan Reynolds getting shredded to play Deadpool or a civilian like me striving to simply look and feel well. This is my What Drives You episode where we go behind the scenes with Don personally to fi...

We’re talking about physical transformation, and my intent is to sift through the dramatic amount of information and gimmicks and one-size-fits-all information and take it all to task to help us each get some clarity on what it takes to get our physical selves to the place we desire. Most of us come to a time of desiring to transform our bodies. We want to lose weight, gain muscle, trim and firm, or just feel better. But knowing what will really help us is like finding a needle in a haystack. So...

I'm wrapping up our series on avoiding burnout, which happens when we are driving and out of alignment. My catalyst for the series was Dr Neha Sangwan who was juggling 18 critically ill patients per day and barely surviving 36-hour shifts fueled by sugar and caffeine in her early 30s. She did it…till she couldn’t. And she realized something had to give. She used her scientific background to climb back out and her new book is Powered by Me: From Burned out to Fully Charged at Work and in Life. I ...

I wrap up our series on Human Design with my Big Idea, Big Takeaway & Big Action. Human design is another take on personality profiles. Think of Myers Briggs, DISC, or the Enneagram. The purpose of these is to understand your natural propensities and predispositions, so you can better understand and leverage yourself and others. I’ll speak more to the benefit in a moment. The difference with Human Design is all the others are self reporting, while Human Design is based on your birth date, ti...

We kick off a series on Human Design. I first experienced it like a personality profile, which I’ve grown up taking, from Myers Briggs, to the Disc profile, to most recently the Enneagram. I greatly appreciate them all in regards to getting insight into my personality predispositions and propensities. But I’ve always struggled with the aspect that they are self-reporting. We choose the answers and I struggle to answer naturally. The Human Design concept however, simply goes off your birthdate, b...

This is our Peak Wellness show where we give specific focus to our health and wellness. The vehicle that drives all we do. In this episode…we address how to run. Specifically, how to run without injury and keep running into old age. We’re advocating running simply because it’s one of the easiest exercises that can be done nearly anywhere and anytime with little to no equipment required. So many people who would run however, do not. Even those who used to at an elite level. The reason? Aches and ...
