What we cover:

• It starts with you mom and dad. Remember the first time you said something exactly the same way your parents did? Your children have the greatest chance at becoming you and they will mimic your habits and beliefs. If you want your children to grow up loving to exercise then you need to create an environment where that is a part of their life.
• Scheduling and knowing your child. Everything for a child is a little bit different. It's easy to say "I'm taking John to try gymnastics" but what if he doesn't like it? How can you introduce them to things that they will actually want to do?
• In a perfect world, what are the best recommendations for exercise for kids to maximize their potential?

• Jadzia's numbers (strength, speed, endurance, her whole game) exploded over the last year. She has also become a coach. It's interesting to hear her talk about the major difference between the people who consistently improve vs. those that stay the same. Making this mindset change could be the difference between you staying stuck and completely changing the game at what you're trying to improve.
• Why you must be in love with what you're trying to change.
• Why having a solid support system is vital if you're ever going to reach high levels of success.
• Why the secret to success is finding a way to push yourself the most when no one is watching or looking at you. 

What the heck is emotional intelligence?

It's funny, although you might not know the exact definition, you already have an idea of what we're talking about.

The term originated from Yale University in the early 90's and is defined as being smart about your feelings. It's how to use your emotions to inform your thinking and use your thinking to inform your emotions.

We don't necessarily like the definition, but love the concept of having emotional intelligence.

Intelligence is defined as the ability to deal with a broad range of abstractions. Emotional intelligence therefore would mean the ability to emotionally handle a broad range of situations in a way that is beneficial to your life.

Unfortunately, this is not the cultural atmosphere of today. We have slogans like "I don't want to adult" and we thrive on the nostalgia of when we were little and had no 'worries or responsibilities.'

It's these types of ideas that have slowed the development of our emotional intelligence and have contributed to the age of anxiety, depression, and poor mental health.

The purpose of this podcast is to discuss the concept of emotional intelligence and how you can develop it.

• The root of emotions - what they mean, why you should care and what NOT to do because of your emotions.
• How to increase your emotional intelligence - this is not going to be easy to do, but you know we're not interested in the easy stuff, only the stuff that works.
• Why we think emotional intelligence is among the most important factors to success and happiness in your life...meaning this is a skill you should master.

• The physiology of exercise, why you need to know it and why you should care.
• The correct order to progress in at the gym. At least the very basics so you can take a quick look at what you're doing now and adjust accordingly.

• What is intermittent fasting and how is it different from other types of fasts?
• How your digestive physiology works, what your genes expect and how knowing this information will give you the clues to whether or not fasting is a good idea for you to try.
• Don't use intermittent fasting as a tactic. Don't try to shortcut your way to success. Spend the appropriate amount of time to figure out what is really holding you back from getting your nutrition on point.
• How we have been able to integrate intermittent fasting into our own lives and how we've fared with it?
• Is intermittent fasting for everyone? Who should do it and who shouldn't do it?
• Is fasting similar to detoxing in any respect?
• The preliminary steps to making this happen in your life.
