The Kevin Miller Podcast

What gives you energy?! In this show, that’s what I wanted to know! We’ve heard a lot from Abel James about energy and I wanted to hear from the audience, what you have found works for you, so I asked on my Facebook page,  “What is something you have done, or want to do, to help increase your overall energy?” Examples are areas such as (but not limited to!)  1) Nutrition, 2) Exercise, 3) Sleep, 4) Stress, 5) Hope/Inspiration, 6) Other. I had Michelle Prince join me to talk through the comments, and we hit a wide range of things folks do, it expanded on my own list! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

“Define your own success and nurture relationships like a garden!” We are back with Abel James, the fat burning man himself, and he has some great insight for us. Abel was our guest in show 635 where we gave a lot of focus to...our energy. Getting fit and trim and well is great, but the main value is increased energy, and who wouldn’t appreciate that? So do yourself a favor and check that show out. In this show we go through the 7 spokes of the ziglar wheel of life and audit Abel’s habits. And yes, the first 15 minutes were spent on the first spoke alone...physical and nutrition. He went through his daily regimine in detail, which you'll gain much from. He’s so casual and gracious with his methodology, I think it will give you much comfort with what you can truly do to to help yourself….increase your energy. Which helps everything! One thing of interest from his habits, he and his wife took a year off the internet. Not something you’d expect from a celebrity who uses the online world as the chief location of their business. You’ll be interested to hear  it all. Connect with Abel at http://FatBurningMan.com  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When should you quit? When is continuing actually harming you? In this show we hear from Zig Ziglar about a guy pursuing what he deemed as...success. But once unpacked...realized the direction he was going was not at all going to produce was he wanted. I think aspects of the message speak to...all of us. Truly. From the message I asked this question on Facebook,  “What is a pursuit you have given up...for the better? Something you quit going after, and are grateful you did!” We got responses from career and business pursuits, to schooling, to personal relationship issues. Michelle Prince joined me to talk through all the comments, it was pretty amazing. You can of course join these weekly discussions by finding and friending me on Facebook at agentkmiller, I’d be honored to hear from your perspective and experiences.

I have a New Year’s gift for you. I’m going to give you your energy back! How does that sound? I really want you to listen here...do you have the energy and vibrancy you once had? If not, are you ok with this reality?  Have you bought into the norm of...that is aging? Are you 30 or 40 or 50 and talking about the things you “used to be able to do” but can’t? Hey, many people are fine with accepting this. I for one, am not. I just turned 48, I have 9 kids and one grandchild already. I run three businesses. One, I feel responsible to my family to be able to help and be there for them...for a long time. You are here because you are not the norm, so I know you will want to hear this message. I’m bringing you Abel James. Author of “The Wild Diet” and host of the wildly popular “Fat Burning Man” podcast. Abel James is a New York Times best-selling author, musician, and virtual outdoor adventure guide. He’s the host of the award-winning Fat-Burning Man Show, which has ranked as the #1 Health Podcast in 8+ countries around the world with more than 25+ million downloads. Abel has starred as a coach on ABC television and has been featured in WIRED, Entertainment Tonight, People Magazine, and many more.Connect with Abel at http://FatBurningMan.com  But folks, healthy eating, losing weight...I didn’t bring Abel to us to talk about these things specifically. As you’ll year from Abel, they are just vehicles for...energy. Getting you more energy. The energy of your youth. Why? So you can do and experience and enjoy and create...more. So you don’t have to accept the “normal” and inevitable decline. 50 years old is when most people begin establishing their life’s work, but we’ve gotten to the point where 50 is when we start winding down. I have something better for you, and as you’ll hear from Abel, it’s not complex. It’s simple. And inspiring.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What are your limiting beliefs? In show 631 I talked with Mastin Kipp, author of “Claim Your Power” where his primary focus is finding your purpose...and the vehicle is understanding and overcoming...past trauma. Don’t just think tragedy, but any event in your life that helped create limiting beliefs, which we ALL, have. Powerful show, again, #631. I’ve been enamored with the message and have been working through the book in detail. But I wanted to hear more...and hear from you regarding Mastin’s message of hope and turning your trauma and limiting beliefs...into power. So I asked on Facebook, "What is a limiting belief you work to overcome?" I asked it in that way because, you may never totally get rid of it, even if you are able to succeed anyway. A big deal question…of course...we got great responses. Tom Ziglar joined me to read through the comments...you’ll greatly appreciate hearing real people dealing with real issues...and striving to overcome.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Mastin Kipp was our guest in show 631 where we focused on dealing with past traumatic events to help get us unstuck and progressing forward. Mastin is the best selling author of “Claim Your Power.” In this show, we walk through his personal habits for success, following of course the 7 spokes in the Ziglar Wheel of Life that we hit on much in this show. It was interesting to hear that Mastin, a guy who is influencing a sea of people regarding personal and relational health, he cites that he is not naturally...a relational person. I have to say I could relate, I wonder if many of you will also. You can connect with Mastin and what he has to offer you, including his book, at mastinkipp.com. Learn more about your ad choices.

“Everything in your life matters.” In this show we get a message from Zig Ziglar on how everything in our life...matters. Everything affects everything, and what that means. What is happening good and bad in your work, affects your family life, your mental wellness, for example. From it I posted this question on Facebook: “What is one area of your life you improved, only to find it positively affected and improved OTHER areas of your life?” (You can use the 7 spokes in the Ziglar Wheel of Life for reference, which of course is:1.Physical & Nutrition2.Family3.Mental4.Financial5.Spiritual6.Career7.Personal Great, great replies with lots of variance I think you’ll find you relate and of course will be...inspired. I had Michelle Prince join me to talk through your comments.

In this show we are talking about a big premise: that all your limits. All the handicaps of your mind, all your anchors and achilles heels and everything holding you back from your full potential come from...a primary source. Sounds too much already, doesn’t it? Just another claim to be the holy grail. I feel you. But then after this talk...well, it’s pretty convicting. If it’s not THE primary thing, I have now come to believe it is one of the TOP...primary things. And it is...unresolved trauma in your life. And before you say, “Hey, I’ve never had any real trauma, I’ve never been abused or lacked for much...you could have come from a privileged home and loving parents and tried to live up to high expectations that became somewhat of an anchor for you that you are imprisoned in or tired of...but the point, you have a limiting factor or belief rooted in your past programming and wiring. And until you get rewired, you will be stuck or at least handicapped. My guest is Mastin Kipp, a number one best-selling author of Claim Your Power and Daily Love, speaker and Creator of Functional Life Coaching™ for people who are seeking rapid transformation in their lives. He has been featured on the Emmy Award show, Super Soul Sunday, and recognized as a “thought leader for the next generation” by Oprah Winfrey.

Through his writing, online courses, in-person seminars and international retreats, Mastin has worked with over two million people in over 100 countries around the world. I’ll tell you this folks, I was greatly impacted and have talked about this concept much since my time with Mastin. I’d highly encourage you to really dig into this conversation with us. You can find his book which has the message we gave focus to here, “Claim Your Power”, wherever you buy books, and connect with Mastin at mastinkipp.com. Learn more about your ad choices.

We hear a message from Zig Ziglar on how we all succumb to lifetime conditioning. Literally how we all tend to give more attention and value to taller people than shorter, just as an example. And how it affects us all. From this message I posted on Facebook, this question:  "Do you have any labels attached to you? 1) What positive labels have you lived up to, and/or, 2) What negative labels have you had to overcome (or maybe want to)?" NOTE - These labels could have been given to you, or self-imposed. Great, great responses, of course. Tom Ziglar joined me to talk through the comments Learn more about your ad choices.

We are back with Lori Harder. Being a three time fitness champion, you’d of course expect some healthy habits. But physical is just ONE of the spokes, right? Some things she shared...She has a spoken, morning mantra. Her rule for decisions is whether she feels a full body yes or not, and a healthy habit for her marriage is she’s learning to golf for her husband and he’s taking ballroom dancing lessons for her. But what was really interesting is her talking about the need to change her habits frequently to keep them from getting stagnant. I think this will be freeing and exciting to a lot of you...it sure was confirming for me, as I’m the same.You’ll enjoy hear this show and of course be...inspired. Learn more about your ad choices.
