Ep 221: 5 Ways I'm Handling COVID-19

Crazy times out there. But honestly, times like these just remind me what every day is like as an entrepreneur. The unknown is always there. It's pretty isolating. Lots of stress.

Want to workout with me on my birthday? www.hidefseattle.com/events This episode I'm talking about why we need to view our fitness routine a little differently.

Ep 213: Brian Pannuzzo- Raising Healthy Children, Getting More Out of Life, Shifting Careers After 40

Excited for you all to hear this one because there are so many different lightbulbs it could set off! My friend Brian worked on Wall street for 20 years, lived a lavish life, and gave it all up. Probably hard to imagine for some, which is why so many need this message!  Money isn't everything and eventually it doesn't matter like we think it does. What I love most about Brian's situation is that he did all this at a time where most people probably think they're stuck. I gave up my job to do what I love but I was everything but stuck. This is proof that you can go after what you want in life. Another fun part of the episode, we discuss how to help kids create healthy habits! More from Brian: @brianpannuzzo

Ep 210: Are Calories All That Matter?

Sadly this is a debate that goes on way too often... And for the consumer is probably the most annoying thing ever. Sometimes you hear experts say "calories are all that matter"... Sometimes you hear experts say "calories don't matter at all"... Here's the truth that both parties probably don't want you to know!

Ep 208: What If We Didn't Always Check Out At The End of The Year?

December is pretty much a joke. Most kids are on vacation. Most parents are mentally on vacation. Parties left and right... It's easy to think 'I'll just get back on track next year'. What if we didn't though? What if those last 3 weeks, we either kept going, or doubled down? In the last decade, thats almost 6 months of extra work! Imagine how much further we could be going into 2020... Don't check out, my friends! SHARE if you're listening! @easywinsmitch
