Unlocking Greatness with Ryan James Miller

In this week’s episode, Michelle is back so we can discuss a near-awful moment I had, having difficult conversations in marriage, and much more. I also got an email last week from a married couple that we discussed. Plus, it’s Thanksgiving week and we talk about being thankful (duh, right?).

I was sitting with a friend that shared this crazy story of one of his clients climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. The more he shared, the more I realized how much I wanted to hear the story from her. And doing so on this podcast seemed like a fitting context Heather Falcone is the CEO of Thermal-Vac Technology, Southern California’s premier brazing, heat-treating, and finishing facility. They work with some of the Aviation and Aerospace industry’s most recognized brands including NASA, Aerojet Rocketdyne, and Space-X. It took all of about two minutes into our conversation for me to love listening to Heather share her story. She opened up about growing up in a family business and eventually taking the reigns, her crazy reaction to being challenged to do an Ironman while she was overweight and out of shape, the horrific cancer diagnosis that could have ended her life, processing through her treatment with (and without) her family and friends, and her journey up Mount Kilimanjaro.  You will be deeply impacted as you hear Heather tell her story of fighting for her life, finally giving in to life-saving help, and why climaxing the mountain wasn’t the victory she celebrated when she was done. Her journey to this point and what she’s taken away are things we will all resonate with deeply, whether we are climbing an actual mountain or experiencing an uphill battle that we can’t wait to overcome.

Rachel Druckenmiller is the Founder & CEO of UNMUTED. She is a Keynote Speaker and passionate about Humanizing the Workplace and Beating Burnout. During this conversation, we covered so many different topics including a need to gain approval from those around us including family, friends, and co-workers, bringing hope to others by sharing our story and helping them to share theirs, beating burnout, and why technology like the Whoop strap is significantly beneficial to high performers. In the time I have gotten to know Rachel, I have grown deeply fond of who she is as a human being and I am confident that by the end, you will too!

In this episode of the Sunday Download, Michelle and I chat about dealing with anger (how we deal with it, why we lash out more at people we love, and how to grow), my doubt to do well when speaking (whether in business or church), Michelle’s peeve with a dirty froyo shop, and my tendency to cry.

In this Sunday download, I introduce my wife to the podcast. We discuss structure and goals, parenting, dating in marriage, and why you never tell your wife not to eat cracker jacks. My hope is to continue to share the Sunday Download hosting responsibilities with my wife as it brings a fresh voice and new perspective.

Nate Randall is the Founder and President of Ursa Major Consulting as well as the host of the Illuminate HR Podcast. Previous to that, he led HR and benefits roles with Washington Mutual, Safeway, and Tesla. Nate and I dug deep into the ways in which the HR role needs to change and why that will be an enormous benefit to organizations everywhere. He shared a couple really cool stories from the crazy days of Tesla (like the day when every employee became a salesperson). Nate was way ahead of his time in bringing strategic solutions to HR and benefits efforts and the wisdom he shares on the podcast is so valuable. Give it a listen and share your feedback!

I’m kicking off a new weekly podcast episode called Sunday Download. My goal is to do my best to download what happened during the previous week and share what I’ve learned. This week, I am talking about underforming in the gym, mindgames, and servant leadership. I would love your feedback as I try this new format and add a second podcast episode each week.

Hannah Moyer is the Head of Paid Media for Blue Light Media and hosts a successful podcast called Candidly Caffeinated. She is a recent transplant to California from Nashville (who leaves Nashville?) though originally from Philly.  While Hannah and I had a lot to talk about, a large majority of our time was spent discussing chronic illness, food sensitivity, and a need for personal responsibility in our healthcare. At the age of 13, Hannah began to experience some health issues related to food sensitivity that quickly grew into what seemed near uncontrollable. While some doctors were as helpful as they could be, much of the traditional health system was not helpful in her addressing the root cause of her issues. She began eliminating foods and exploring nutritional supplements (along with prescribed medication). She was officially diagnosed with Hashimoto disease (among other issues) in 2015.  Even after being diagnosed, her traditional healthcare providers were not much help. She determined the Paleo diet was best for her, started following healthcare innovators like Chris Kresser, did some testing including the DUTCH test, a saliva test, and various blood tests, and ended up engaging a local Functional Medicine Doctor in Lake Forest, CA by the name of Dr. Nick Deliberato. I believe a story like Hannah’s is critical for us all to listen to. But as we talked, we made sure to remind people over and over again that what’s good for one is not good for all. Your body is unique. If you are experiencing health issues, you need to seek out experts that will create a plan specific to you.  Disclaimer: We are not doctors, nor do we claim to be. We are speaking from personal experience and opinion only. Other topics we discussed: The importance of being an engaged healthcare consumer The plethora of great health-related information available if you find the right sources Creating a food intolerance by eliminating foods (and why that could be bad for you) CrossFit athletes often chase bad diets Why Nashville is the greatest city in the country Links to episode mentions Chris Kresser – Founder of the Kresser Institute Dr Nick Deliberato – Functional Medicine Doctor Viome – Gut testing Dr Michael Ruscio – author of “Healthy Gut Healthy You” Article – The Silent Truth: Restrictive Diets and Disordered Eating Connect with Hannah Instagram – @hjmoyer Twitter – @hjmoyer Podcast – Candidly Caffeinated Connect with me: LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/rjmsalespro Instagram – @rjmsalepro Twitter @rjmsalespro Web – https://ryanjamesmiller.com/The post Taking Personal Responsibility Amidst a Broken Healthcare System with Hannah Moyer first appeared on Ryan James Miller.

At face value, Collin Meeves is the head coach at Resolution Crossfit in Yorba Linda, CA. But there is far more than meets the eye. In this episode, Collin and I definitely talked about Crossfit including what it takes to compete at an elite level, what coaches should really be doing, and the mentality in cheating. But there is so much more to Collin that most don’t know. We talked about the ways alcoholism and the loss of his father a few years ago shaped him as a man (and a new husband), how negative self-perception destroys us, the importance of practicing mindfulness and self-improvement, and a recent moment in which Collin brought an entire room full of people to tears (we both cried when we talked about it). Check out this episode and then make sure to connect with Collin. He’s got a whole lot more to share so stay tuned!
