It seems like in 2023 entrepreneurs are celebrated, and everyone assumes it's the best life in the world. It can be. And it can be a huge mistake. On today's episode I sit down with Cody Ringle, my Mom's favorite podcast guest, and the operations lead for Active Life in Long Beach, NY, and we discuss why he would rather be the guy who supports the guy, than the guy himself. Should you be an entrepreneur, or are you better served to be an employee of an entrepreneur with a mission that inspires you? Listen in.

Imagine having all of the ability, and opportunity to build a physical therapy business that generates several hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, and instead, dedicating yourself to a company where those kinds of earnings are maybe available in the long term, but definitely not right away. Why would anyone do that? On today's episode Dr. Melissa Capurro explains. Find Melissa on instagram at @thestoicphysio

This podcast explores the challenges of being a professional fitness coach and the limitations of coaching group classes. It discusses the financial realities of coaching group classes and the need for professionalization in the industry. The importance of being a professional coach and the benefits of transitioning from group classes to individual program design are also discussed. The podcast explores the hidden motivations behind joining a gym and emphasizes the significance of education and mentorship in achieving fitness goals.

Pat wants to help light the spark to be active in thousands of people instead of going deep with a handful of people in his local market. When everyone seems to be Overpromising about what their services can do for you, Pat’s promise is refreshingly small, and likely to be kept. Pat struggles with the same impostor syndrome that many of us do, and on this episode he talks about how his wife, and his passion have helped him push it aside to launch his first business.

I believe that the life we are capable of imagining is constrained by the experiences and education we have already acquired. We can only think as big as our mind can understand. This is why it is critical to surround ourselves with people who have a wide array of desirable experiences and education that we do not yet have.  Our network collapses time strictly through friendships that have no expectation for any business growth. Just being friends with inspiring people will make all of us more inspiring.  On today's podcast, I sit down with Cody Ringle to hash this topic out. 

Why do people fail, and why are we so scared of it? On today's episode I sit down with Larry to discuss the most common reasons people fail, and why we are seemingly so afraid to do it.  Failure is perhaps the best teacher there is. We should not be so afraid of our most useful teacher.  Are you curious about working with us as a one-on-one client?

We have updated our mission statement at Active Life to read "empower a life of freedom, without compromise." So it's incumbent on us to describe what it means to compromise, and why we so often find ourselves doing it.  Then, we need to describe a process to eliminate it in our lives.  This podcast is a start. And there will be many more. Enjoy.

"Work life balance" is a crutch used to justify laziness.  You don't know anyone who regularly thinks about creating more balance, who is doing anything worthwhile. The people you know who have the most balance in their lives are the people pursuing world class performance in everything they do.  Balance is being present, and inspired at all times, and being present and inspired at all times is world class.  Allow this episode to challenge your belief system because the reality is that we don't have beliefs, we have things we've learned, which means we can unlearn them...  All of them, should we choose. 

Imagine going out for a routine run, and dying. You wake up in the hospital with no recollection of what happened, or why it happened. What would life be like after that? Today I sit down with Dom Fusco, and ask him, because he experienced exactly this.  Dom is a content creator, the host of the pure ambition podcast, and owner of upspace app which is a platform to buid and discover communities centered around health, happiness, and love.  Dom is such a giver that he thought he was in studio to interview me! So, this interview is shorter than most, only because first we had Dom interview me, then with the time remaining I interviewed him. You're going to fall in love with this guy, he's exactly the kind of person you want to be around.  Follow Dom at @dominicfusco on instagram   Are you curious about working with us as a one-on-one client?

I decided to record a podcast to remind me of how I feel in life, right now. I bet many of you are going to find it relatable, which I find fascinating.  We are in completely different phases of our lives. Some of you more successful than me, some less. Some of you older, some younger. And we will have commonality on this podcast that neither of us ever expected.  The whole episode is me talking to me. So if it sounds like me talking to you, it means we have something in common.
