Changing who you are takes work, it can be scary, and it requires a healthy dose of humility and self-reflection. But those of us willing to put in the work, be open to change and eat some humble pie here and there are the thought leaders, entrepreneurs and highly motivated individuals making a difference in this life. It takes passion and a growth mindset to be truly successful in this life like our guest today Ryan Munsey from the Better Human Project. Ryan is an author, speaker and high-performance coach.

Send us a textWhat’s the underlying quality that highly successful people have? It’s not finances, it’s not education, talents or skills. It’s their unshakeable commitment to a desired outcome… in other words, consistency. Staying the course is not an easy thing to do but if you’re searching for greatness in anything that you do, that grit, that determination is what separates you from the pack. It’s something our guest today, Cody McBroom, refers to as relentless consistency.

Send us a textThe SBD team reunites to discuss a topic that’s become divisive and heavily politicized. When it comes to health, in the past, people have been allowed to make their own decisions for pretty much all things and given the opportunity to discuss with their physician if unsure. But of course, no one alive today ever lived through a global pandemic. I think we can all agree that treating others with respect is critical and realizing people are free to make decisions based on their own personal health. Mandates of any kind are going to bring forth some strong emotions on both sides of an issue. Ultimately there needs to be more discussion, listening and understanding. The finger pointing and name calling won’t bring people together but only cause more division. Holistic Health Practitioner Tonya Fines shares her knowledge with co-hosts Chris Wilson, Mike Westerdal and Samantha Harrison in this special bonus episode on Strong By Design.   "I feel like it's become a platform of controversy not about the vaccine but being told what I should or shouldn't do." -Tonya Fines   Time Stamps 0:24 – Welcome to the ‘Strong by Design’ podcast 2:35 – Samantha Harrison receives birthday wishes from Team Critical Bench 11:42 – Team Critical Bench weighs in whether to get the vaccine or not 19:06 – The truth about flu shots 25:58 – Understanding the benefits vs. risks of vaccines 31:24 – Incentives and discounts: The best way to convince people to get the vaccine? 39:17 – Vaccines: What are the things to look out for? 48:34 – Personal testimonies about the COVID-19 vaccine 54:01 – The importance of making decisions based on facts, not fear 1:02:24 – How long does immunity last after having COVID-19? 1:15:42 - As promised, a special birthday poem for Sam (read by Chris)   Connect w/ CriticalBench:  Youtube Facebook Instagram CriticalBench.com StrongByDesignPodcast.com Support the showConnect w/ CriticalBench: Youtube Facebook Instagram CriticalBench.com StrongByDesignPodcast.com

Send us a textToday’s very special episode is a blend of 3 of our favorite conversation about God over the years. Please take a moment to breathe and find rest in your Father in heaven. He is bigger than anything you’re facing… It’s time to CHOOSE to see the beauty around you. It’s time to step into your greatness and discover the calling God has for you. And when you do that, you will find hope in every day.  The words of Erwin McManus When was the last time you had a conversation with God? God is hungry for a relationship with you but are you listening for His voice? He is there in your struggles just waiting to be your friend. The words of Joe LoGalbo You don’t achieve your identity; you receive your identity. We reason back from effects to a cause. There is a creation, there must be a Creator. And if the first verse in the Bible is true, then everything else in the Bible is at least possible.
