Rachel Cruze: More Money... Less Debt w/ Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace Concepts
Money. Tough subject. Different circumstances for everyone… critical for everyone. We choose careers and life paths based on it, experience sleepless nights and elevated blood pressure due to it, allow relationships to be influenced – and sometimes ended by it. Sermons are preached about it, countries divided by it and songs written about it, including one of my personal favorites by Chris Jansen, reminding us “money may not buy happiness… but it can buy me a boat!” 😊And yet – outside of the school of hard knocks, most of us are taught almost nothing about it. One notable exception to that has been Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University, which started in 1994 and has since helped provide financial education to millions of people worldwide – especially in the area of reducing debt. Today we are incredibly fortunate to feature a discussion we had with someone who’s been there with Ramsey since the beginning and her insights might just help change the course of your financial life going forward.Welcome to the latest episode of the Catalyst 360 Podcast – your trusted resource for the best in engaging, evidence-based health, wellness & performance insights. Today’s guest is Rachel Cruze, best-selling author, radio personality and also happens to be the daughter of Dave Ramsey, founder of Financial Peace University. My guess? I think she’ll eventually take the lead as Mr. Ramsey steps back, but I guess we’ll wait and see. Regardless, we were thrilled to have Rachel join us as a special guest.

Get Your Soul In the Game! (Vitaliy Katsenelson)
When we look at the way in which we’re living our lives, are our hearts and souls engaged? No seriously – are we going through the motions, checking off the boxes, but forgetting to tune into whether those activities and actions stir something inside of us? Think about a typical day – is there a joy? A passion? An deeper level of engagement to our real life field of play? Does the music on our commute speak to us? Our choice of fitness activities bring a smile? Our professional pursuits reveal who we were truly meant to be? Our evenings provide the refreshing spring after a day of productive contributions to the world? Or are we in a fog, stumbling our way through the day as we count down the hours until the next weekend?Welcome to the latest episode of the Catalyst 360 Podcast – your 360 degree source for the best in health, wellness & performance. Today’s guest is Vitaliy Katsenelson, author of Soul in the Game: The Art of a Meaningful Life.

Understand Yourself & Others (includes live assessment w/ Dr. Linda Berens)
We hear a lot about becoming the “best version of ourselves.” But what version is that? How do we clarify our understanding of who we really are – at our core – and how we can most effectively open that best version up to the world, thus enhancing the positive impact we can have in our families, work settings, communities and world? Welcome to the latest episode of the Catalyst 360 Podcast – your trusted resource for the best in engaging, evidence-based health, wellness & performance insights. Today’s guest is Dr. Linda Berens – Dr. Berens and Dr. Cooper met 20 years ago when he attended an in-depth MBTI Certification program through her institute out in California. We was so impressed by her unique approach, we began integrating many of her insights into our trainings and eventually wrote a book together, which humorously brought out our very different interaction styles in the process 😊. She is the co-founder and lead architect for Interstrength who has been teaching professions since 1982 and is recognized internationally for her theoretical contributions to th field of psychological type and the development of user-friendly training materials used worldwide. We’ll be focusing today on her InterStrength CORE approach, which goes beyond “typology” and allows space for individuality, growth, realignment and understanding of patterns rather than boxing people into an “assessment label.” She’s even agreed to do a LIVE ASSESSMENT INTERVIEW W/ Dr. Cooper as an example, which you’ll hear on the last half of the discussion. You can contact Dr. Berens and access all of her tools & resources at https://www.lindaberens.com/For more information about the Catalyst Community, earning your NBHWC-approved health & wellness coach certification, the annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium and much more, please see https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ or reach out to us Results@CatalystCoachingInstitute.comLooking for weekly tips, tricks and turbo boosts to enhance your life?

How to Create A Personal Vision for a Better Life
Accompanying video to this episode w/ examples available here: https://youtu.be/nCGMQWctPHw“For many, the big choices in life aren’t really choices; they are quicksand. You just sink into the place you happen to be standing.” Author David Brooks is credited with expressing those words, but we ALL know what it’s like to live them. We move through each day, letting the quicksand around our feet draw us in as the weeks, months and years pass by. Dreams fade out of sight; regrets accumulate and eventually we just feel “stuck.” It is what it is. Ahhh – what could have been.But it doesn’t have to be that way. We admire visionaries across all walks of life, those individuals who see past the day to day. Those who see the world differently – those who have identified their northern star and are steadily moving in that direction, regardless of the quicksand that grasps the rest of the world around them. These individuals are no more gifted or talented than the rest of us. Rather, they have a crystal clear vision of the person they are becoming and the future impact they are moving toward. That powerful, personal vision is a resource available to any of us who choose to tap into it. In this special episode, I’ll walk you through the preparation and the process that will allow you to create your own clear personal vision for the coming year. It will challenge, energize and inspire you. It will give you a reason to get out of bed in the morning, light a fire in your heart and provide a steady wind in your sails. In the end, it will help set you on a clear path to what might just be the most important year of you life.

Dr. Philip Skiba: Pseudoscience? Think Again!
What do exposing fads and optimizing fitness have in common? Longtime Catalyst 360 listeners know the answer: EVIDENCE! The world of health, wellness & performance is rife with exaggeration, unsupported claims and charisma-dependent shortcuts. Taking an evidence-based approach to your chosen pursuit doesn’t guarantee results, as the scientific method is all about looking for the hole in the previous finding. At the same time, it sure is a wise cornerstone on which to build your strategy. Today we have one of the best in the business joining us to break through the BS on our way to a better life – and enhanced performance.Welcome to the latest episode of the Catalyst 360 Podcast – your trusted resource for the best in engaging, evidence-based health, wellness & performance insights.

Future of Health & Wellness Coaching: NBHWC Executive Director Leigh-Ann Webster
Back in 2016, you & I could be sitting down over coffee and you could say “Coop – we should be health & wellness coaches!” Then we could give each other a high five, walk out the door and start calling ourselves health & wellness coaches. Or – on the employee wellness side of the equation, a wellness company could hire nice people, place them in a call center with a fine-tuned script and then tell potential partners they offered health & wellness coaching. There were no standards of practice. No code of ethics. No national oversight board or certification process. Anyone could call themselves a coach – and there was essentially no way to tell who was credible or not. That all changed in 2017.Welcome to the latest episode of the Catalyst 360 Podcast – your trusted resource for the best in engaging, evidence-based health, wellness & performance insights. Today’s guest is Leigh-Ann Webster, the Executive Director of the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching, or NBHWC, which was created in 2017 and has since changed the world of health & wellness coaching from the “wild wild west” to an established, credible and growing profession. Our longtime listeners know we rarely bring a guest back more than once, but Leigh-Ann is the exception, as we try to get on her schedule about every 15 months to provide you with a ”state of the profession” and the latest updates and upcoming developments in the world of health & wellness.For more information about the Catalyst Community, earning your NBHWC-approved health & wellness coach certification, the annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium and much more, please see https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ or reach out to us Results@CatalystCoachingInstitute.comLooking for weekly tips, tricks and turbo boosts to enhance your life?

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) in the Real World - Dr. Marco Altini
What if you discovered a 60 second assessment you could do each morning with no special equipment that would essentially let you see how your body is responding to various stressors and changes to daily habits like sleep, alcohol intake, exercise and more?

Welcome to the Catalyst 360 Podcast – your trusted source for engaging, evidence-based health, wellness & performance insights.

Why Doing LESS May Be the Key to Effectiveness: Dr. Leidy Klotz
How’s that “to-do” list looking? What if I were to tell you the single biggest change you could make to the list in terms of your future success would be to subtract?

Today’s guest is Dr. Leidy Klotz, who studies the science of design, and the way in which our own daily choices can be positively impacted – NOT by adding something new - but instead through the use of subtraction. His research has appeared in both Nature and Science and his debut popular science book, Subtract, is among the most influential published in 2021. He is a frequent guest on programs including Hidden Brain, Freakonomics, and NPR.

The Joy (and Power) of a New Journaling Approach
Journaling is one of those things - perhaps similar to flossing our teeth - most of us know is valuable... we "should" do it. Yet - we rarely do. What if, instead of guilting ourselves into the process, we were able to tap into the magnetic draw of journaling? What if we were to discover the way in which journaling allows us to draw out the best versions of ourselves, to write and rewrite our story the way it was meant to be written? That - and the practical elements of putting journaling into practice, is exactly what we'll be discussing in this special episode on why journaling might just be the world's greatest mining tool.There will be no ”should” or guilt included in this discussion – only opportunity and practical ideas that just like those early miners, you can take to the bank. Over the next few minutes, I’m going to share with you how to activate the magnet of journaling… tap into why our story is so important – and the opportunity journaling provides to re-write that story…discuss various strategies for making the process fit YOU… and provide some tips for getting started. We’re releasing this episode the week of Thanksgiving, as the weeks between now and the new year are often the catalyst for considering more deeply the way in which we’re living our lives. It’s my hope this special episode provides you with a valuable tool for doing so as you move forward. If you have a journal or notebook handy while you’re listening, I’ll be providing you with a few things to consider with pen in hand along the way.For more information about the Catalyst Community, earning your NBHWC-approved health & wellness coach certification, the annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium and much more, please see https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ or reach out to us Results@CatalystCoachingInstitute.comLooking for weekly tips, tricks and turbo boosts to enhance your life?
