Aram Blew Up The Internet and Faces The Heat w/ Joanna Eisele
This week we have Joanna Eisele, a college professor with a Doctorate in Sociology and studies/teaches social inequality including racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. as well as a Crossfit Coach! Aram blew up the internet this past week and had hundreds (nearly a thousand) comments/messages about how he shouldn't use certain terminology when referring to women. You may be surprised when you hear the story, but this is a great conversation to have to create awareness around the way we talk and how people perceive it. WIth this, you can decide if you want to change the way you talk or not. Are we responsible for others feelings? Do we care? How can we be better? Should we? When should we? Listen and maybe learn.

Identity and Behavior Change w/ Ed Nissen Part 2
This is part 2 of our conversation with Ed Nissen. Here is a little about what Ed does from his website: I am an executive coach, but you may consider me a “Purpose Coach” because I specialize in empowering people to be the ultimate version of themselves by having a deepened sense of purpose, which allows us to carry out the most meaningful professional roles. I do this by simplifying the approach to life’s obstacles based on a model that teaches people how to respond to such obstacles efficiently and confidently. More specifically, this approach involves understanding your personality and optimizing the way you make meaning in your life. This will enable you to shift your focus to maximizing your potential in all aspects of your life. I also happen to be a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and my clinical experience gives me a unique perspective on the human experience. As I teach you my approach, not only will you become skilled in overcoming professional and personal challenges, you will refine yourself in ways that transform your life and enable you to reach your potential.
