I thought this episode to be apropos for this evening. It's the winter solstice. The shortest day of the year, so it makes sense to talk about shortcuts. This is a throwback from October where I reminisce about a trainer encouraging people to take shortcuts to their goals. We'll discuss what that might mean for you in the new year. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

In this episode, I talked about the famous Herschel Walker pushup routine. While he may not be the most popular name right now, at one time, he was the most gifted athlete on the field. It's been said and verified that he did up to 3,000 pushups a day. That's an amazing feat and we're going to look into how one can accomplish that on their own today. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

This is a replay from earlier this year, but it's an excellent one that talks about why people should STOP caring what other people think and start caring MORE about what they think about themselves. So many people put pressure on themselves to live up to others' expectations or keep up appearances that they don't think to look at what they actually want from life.

This was a fun episode about magic and the occult. I've been learning more about it recently because my associate just got her certification in astrology and tarot reading and I wanted to know more about it. What I found couldn't cover one episode, but I tried my best to give you the most valuable part which is the 12 Universal Laws. Much of this was researched online. However, there is a very interesting book that I'm going to link up here that I highly suggest you read. It has a ton of insight into what the original doctrines and rituals were that gave rise to our current religions and beliefs as well as dropped a couple of pointers on how you can use the tactics of the sorcerers and witches of old to conjure and manifest whatever you want.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

A life without having made a choice is a life unlived. We all make choices in life whether we want to or not. Even when we don't make a choice, we actively choose not to do so. So with that understanding, we now have to accept our choices. Today, we will be talking about the choices we make and how they affect our lives. For better or for worse, it's worthwhile to understand our choices and the freedom we have to (not) make them. We should also understand that there will always be rewards and/or consequences for each of our decisions.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

In today's episode, I talked about balance and what it can cost you if you don't have good balance. Studies show that if you are over the age of 65 there is a decent chance that a fall could result in death. I talked about a few exercises that you can try, but I also talked about balance in life. Everyone talks about work/life balance, but that can be misleading when it comes to living a healthy fulfilled life. Find out how you can improve every aspect of your balance in today's episode.

In this episode, we're going to discover the most beneficial ways to ease those aches and pains without a bottle or pill. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

This is a revisit to a previous episode about safety. I wanted to go a little deeper because a lot of people think about success in the wrong way. Many people think that once they get a Bentley or a Lamborghini they'll be good. I can tell you from personal experience that a fancy car or fancy clothes don't do anything for your mental game. You can still be crying in a Lamborghini and it's actually worse because you'll likely be crying alone because you can't really fit that many people in a sports car. Self-actualization is what it's all about and in this episode, I talk about how you can get there.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

The problem with cancel culture isn't that it's obnoxious, but it teaches us some ineffective ways of dealing with others. It essentially leads us to all be robots and to annihilate one another with swift and reactive judgment. Let's have a conversation about a more productive way to be compassionate.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

In our last episode, we talked about running and being pushed away from failure. It's a great motivator, but we're going to talk today about the second half of that equation that makes it an even more effective formula for success. Today we're going to look into what it looks like to follow success and be pulled along by a healthy vision. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

What is failure? It's usually an issue with execution. But it's more than just that. Failure is something that can teach us a lesson, just as long as it's not fatal. In today's episode, I talk about the role that accountability plays in your endeavors and what that has to do with your overall vision of success.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

Do you get enough rest? How about enough sleep? There's actually a difference and I want to talk about how some of the most successful people in history used sleep (rather than staying up late) to improve their creativity and reasoning to solve problems, create new society-changing devices, and improve their focus. How do you ask? Well, listen to this episode where I talk about the difference between rest and sleep and a particular type of sleep that has helped the likes of Salvador Dali produce some of the world's most creative work and Bill Gates become the billionaire that he is today.
