Episode 150 - The Return of Dr. Farha and Naheed Shariff

I interview these two as a team, because they work together really well as a team. They are truly role models that I look up to in many ways.I asked them to give introductions of themselves on the show for anyone outside of Edmonton who may not know who they are. For anyone who knows ME really well, I consider them family - just like my blood family who I am extremely close with. So if you like me, you'll love them.We talk about this past year, how dogs can change your life, and the importance of understanding the world and everyone who shares it on a deeper more meaningful level.When you learn how to support those around you who've lived different experiences than you, it changes your life forever. You learn that every decision you make matters. Every pivot of a person with privilege of any description, will impact someone else's life. Finding ways to be conscious of this reality enables us to find greater strength together.Regardless of business or professional goals, it is deeply impactful to understand where you direct your energy and how you can move forward in times of uncertainty. It is important to reflect, and plan, and sometimes find places of catharsis. Most often these times of clarity come from times of discomfort or pain.It's important to be able to see that you are not defined by being in fitness or being a business owner. You are defined by what it is in your life that inspires you to do what you do.Why are you on this planet and what kind of legacy do you want to have?For the Shariffs, it is the ability to lead by example in daily decisions and raise their family to have an immense amount of self belief in whatever direction their heart takes them.If you are able to believe in your 10 year plan, or your 5 year plan, that is what will get you there. That level of self belief requires support, and a sustainable two-way energy exchange which comes with the endless experiences that make us who we are.Thanks for listening to The Lifestyle Chase.

She's now fluent in three languages.Her career journey started off as a Political Scientist. She did her undergrad in Political Science and German Language and Literature, worked a few years for the government, and decided the bureaucratic life wasn't for her. That's when she decided it was time to pivot. She went back to school and completed a Public Relations (PR) diploma. With a lot of hustle and hard work, she landed a job at an eCommerce sales and marketing agency where she continues to work today.I brought her on the podcast because there is a lot of cross over between what she's done so far and what many of us simply need to do in life. It's very relevant for a business owner or a fitness professional.Ivana shared information about email lists, ecommerce, course creation, pivoting your business to the online space, marketing to the right audience, networking on Linked In, hustling your dream job, Work/Life balance, risk assessment, and more. No matter where you work or what you do, you should listen to this one.You can find Ivana on IG (@iv.ra) or Linked In by searching her name.

Episode 146 - Carl Paoli Returns

This is Carl Paoli's 3rd visit to The Lifestyle Chase. You can learn more about him or hear different parts of his story by listening to Episode 71, and Episode 89. During this episode we got caught up about his 2020 experience. We chatted about his move to Sweden, and I learned about his meditation process. We discussed Joe Rogan, the noise in the world and where we can contribute and where we need to learn and listen. We talked about goals and seeking connection both with the famous and with the extraordinary people who live within our midst. We also talked about burnout and visualizing things happening as they happen. We chatted a bit about Carl's book, Free+Style, and he alludes that he might be in the works of a new one. So you might want to stay tuned.

Episode 145 - Matt Domney

Matt Domney @mattdomney is the training director as part of Compound Performance. He's dialed into progressing towards his goals. He's a big strong dude, who responds to King Potato, but he in no way actually resembles a potato.The thing with Matt Domney, is he went from martial arts into powerlifting where the story is often the complete reverse. In this episode, we tried to talk about things Matt doesn't always talk about. Dean Guedo's boat got a shout out, and we talked about how trainers don't really live a balanced life but the awareness of that helps us plan how to achieve one for our future self. If you aren't aware of what you life might end up at age 40, you won't put in the work to set yourself up differently at age 30.We highlighted the Compound Performance Group Mentorship which I have just completed, and as I've mentioned in several other episodes of The Lifestyle Chase, I highly recommend it. Go to www.compoundperformance.com for details.Thanks for listening and if you enjoyed this one, please share it in your story on social media and head over to wherever you rate and leave comments for podcasts.
