Jerry Seinfeld was once asked about how he became such a great comedian and his recipe for success was simple: he wrote a joke every day. His process to accomplish this was even more simple. He had a paper calendar and if he wrote a  joke he would put an X through that day on the calendar. The goal was to never break the streak of X's. I've added a new component to my #1 tool the Transformation Battle Plan Workbook so that you can start a healthy streak of your own and start building momentum right away.

I think that, at times, we all find ourselves out of balance. We put in too  many hours at work or at the gym and we lose our connection with the reality of what is actually happening to our health and our relationships.

After reaching an elite level and hitting a life long goal of representing her country as a runner Tina did a complete 180 degree turn so that she could reclaim her health and become a mom. Check out this episode on iTunes, Stitcher, or SoundCloud as Tina and I discuss: How she was able to get to an elite level as a runner. The negative impact that her training regimen had on her body.

Have you ever felt like you are super passionate about making a change in your life but you just couldn't build up the courage to go for it?  Maybe it was changing your career or doing something to improve a relationship or your health. This week I'm bringing on someone who has mastered the life changing moment that I call a pivot. He's gone from being a pro extreme sports athlete, to a fitness influencer, to a dating expert, to a fashion expert, to a social media and business influencer.  The best way to describe Ryan Magin is that he's kind of like that guy on the Dos Equis commercials: The Most Interesting Man in the World. So I thought I would introduce his episode a little differently. Here's a look inside what Ryan brings to the table: He's the life of parties that he has never attended. If he were to punch you in the face you would have to fight off the strong urge to thank him. Sharks have a week dedicated to watching him. At museums he's allowed to touch the art. If opportunity knocks and he's not home....opportunity waits. Sasquatch has taken a photograph of him. He's a lover, not a fighter.....but he's also a fighter so don't get any ideas He is: The most interesting man in social media! Check out this episode on iTunes, Stitcher, or SoundCloud and find out just how interesting Ryan Magin is!

Nick Santonastasso is one of the most impressive individuals that I've ever had the pleasure of interviewing. We live in a world of people that are consistently saying "I can't!" when faced with obstacles that are no where near what Nick goes through on a daily basis. When Nick is told by the world that "you can't do this" he responds with the words of his buddy Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson by saying "Just bring it!".....and then he proves everyone wrong. Listen to my interview with Nick as we discuss: The rare disease that he was born with that led to him having an underdeveloped right arm and underdeveloped legs.  The moment when he quit feeling sorry for himself and everything changed. His workout routine and his fitness accomplishments and goals. The advice he would give someone that has been stuck feeling sorry for themselves and needs to turn things around. You can't help but be totally fired up after listening to this one! Please SHARE this episode on your favorite social media platform so we can get Nick's message out there!

I'm pretty sure that we've all said things like "I'm going to get started on MONDAY!" or "I'm going to get started on the FIRST OF NEXT MONTH!" or "I'm going to get started in JANUARY!". The issue with these statements is that we are looking for the "perfect" time to start instead of just doing our best to get started right away.  I think that we all know that too often "Monday", the "first of the month", and "January" may prove to be less than ideal as well.....and we never get started. Listen to this episode and then start taking action right away.......stop waiting for "perfect"!
