life. So welcome aboard to this crazy podcast.

00:01:22.219 --> 00:01:25.439
Yeah, thank you for having me, Jimmy. My pleasure.

00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.859
So tell me a little bit about yourself. So I

00:01:29.859 --> 00:01:34.019
am a health and fitness coach, who on top of

00:01:34.019 --> 00:01:36.439
that does a bunch of other things, kind of a

00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.459
jack of all trades to an extent. I very much

00:01:39.459 --> 00:01:41.680
like to do a bunch of different things and expand

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:44.959
my horizons. But fitness and health and wellness

00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:48.700
are always what I come back to in the end. That

00:01:48.700 --> 00:01:54.969
sounds like a bomb. Me too. I have jumped around

00:01:54.969 --> 00:01:59.709
four majors in college and even though I'm not

00:01:59.709 --> 00:02:01.829
in the health and wellness industry anymore,

00:02:02.049 --> 00:02:07.329
majoring in it, I still like to learn about it.

00:02:07.829 --> 00:02:11.729
My whole Flipboard news feed is all about health

00:02:11.729 --> 00:02:16.729
and wellness. I just followed every single topic

00:02:16.729 --> 00:02:19.729
and it's like there's still more topics. how

00:02:19.729 --> 00:02:23.469
can i it doesn't run out exactly exactly there's

00:02:23.469 --> 00:02:28.710
always new stuff so what made you want to uh

00:02:28.710 --> 00:02:33.569
uh tell me a little bit about your business so

00:02:33.569 --> 00:02:36.969
my business is guts and gains wellness it was

00:02:36.969 --> 00:02:41.509
it's been a long time coming i have been on and

00:02:41.509 --> 00:02:43.349
off health coaching and being in that fitness

00:02:43.349 --> 00:02:48.750
industry for about two years now so it I was

00:02:48.750 --> 00:02:50.490
very much struggling to figure out my niche and

00:02:50.490 --> 00:02:53.449
it hit me that I should really be doing what

00:02:53.449 --> 00:02:55.770
got me into health and fitness to begin with.

00:02:56.129 --> 00:02:59.409
I, for years, had been struggling with gastrointestinal

00:02:59.409 --> 00:03:03.490
issues and being overweight as a result and all

00:03:03.490 --> 00:03:06.229
the other problems that go along with it. But

00:03:06.229 --> 00:03:09.610
found some resources within health and wellness

00:03:09.610 --> 00:03:12.310
that for myself made the difference and got rid

00:03:12.310 --> 00:03:16.310
of most of my symptoms. And started digging into

00:03:16.310 --> 00:03:19.039
them because I was... intrigued but it also worked

00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:20.780
for me and I was like why didn't I know about

00:03:20.780 --> 00:03:23.360
this for the last 10 years that I was dealing

00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:27.340
with this problem. So I wanted to start kind

00:03:27.340 --> 00:03:30.400
of promoting that to other people and educating

00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.539
them that there are alternatives and ways to

00:03:34.539 --> 00:03:38.879
alleviate those problems. And so found some courses,

00:03:39.300 --> 00:03:41.719
found some certifications, started digging in,

00:03:41.780 --> 00:03:45.099
started getting accreditations. So that I could

00:03:45.099 --> 00:03:47.360
start learning how to help people in that field.

00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.460
And at the same time also found a group fitness

00:03:51.460 --> 00:03:53.659
class I enjoyed taking and then signed up to

00:03:53.659 --> 00:03:57.759
become an instructor. And it boosted my confidence

00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.979
tenfold. I had never been that confident person.

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:02.800
I was the shy person who would be in the back

00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:08.280
of a fitness class if I went at all. And it very

00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:10.520
much forced me to obviously be front and center

00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:14.180
in the room and talking to everybody. and helped

00:04:14.180 --> 00:04:19.879
me grow in both passion and being able to speak

00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:21.980
to other people and really push myself beyond

00:04:21.980 --> 00:04:26.420
my comfort zone. That sounds exactly like me.

00:04:29.379 --> 00:04:32.759
That's how I felt when I started karate years

00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:37.000
ago. I was trying to even start going on the

00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.939
mat myself. My sensei had to drive me on the

00:04:39.939 --> 00:04:46.370
mat. I basically sounded like a baby back then

00:04:46.370 --> 00:04:48.670
and he just like dragged me on the mat and he

00:04:48.670 --> 00:04:51.610
was like, you'll have fun. And I was like, I'm

00:04:51.610 --> 00:04:54.110
scared as hell. He was like, come on. He's like,

00:04:54.170 --> 00:04:55.930
nothing's going to happen to you. I was like,

00:04:56.009 --> 00:05:04.149
well, until me. But then I started public speaking

00:05:04.149 --> 00:05:08.110
in front of, I hadn't spoken to, I spoke to like

00:05:08.110 --> 00:05:13.699
15 people. in front of people and then uh and

00:05:13.699 --> 00:05:17.860
then i spoke to like yesterday was my 11th podcast

00:05:17.860 --> 00:05:24.540
interview and uh and then uh apparently somebody

00:05:24.540 --> 00:05:27.180
invited me to a virtual uh convention to speak

00:05:27.180 --> 00:05:30.000
at that so and they said that there's gonna be

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.860
like a big audience it's like don't screw up

00:05:32.860 --> 00:05:37.949
with me yeah Yeah, I completely understand that.

00:05:37.970 --> 00:05:40.490
Yesterday, I had to record for one of a convention

00:05:40.490 --> 00:05:43.750
like that. And the convention won't happen till

00:05:43.750 --> 00:05:45.889
January, but I had to record my piece yesterday.

00:05:46.509 --> 00:05:48.829
And like trying to make it look nice and look

00:05:48.829 --> 00:05:51.230
like I actually had everything completely together

00:05:51.230 --> 00:05:53.629
because this week I spent this week and last

00:05:53.629 --> 00:05:55.550
week putting all of the speech together because

00:05:55.550 --> 00:05:59.600
it was an hour long presentation. a lot of material.

00:05:59.779 --> 00:06:02.860
And end result, I ended up speaking only 45 minutes,

00:06:02.939 --> 00:06:05.800
but it was full of information. So it's fine.

00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:13.439

you can just put your whole speech, or at least

00:07:31.569 --> 00:07:33.649
your talking points, into a teleprompter, like

00:07:33.649 --> 00:07:37.389
a free one online, and you're good to go. That's

00:07:37.389 --> 00:07:41.480
true. That's what I did. Yeah. Maybe she can

00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:43.540
send me a link to the teleprompter because, uh,

00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:49.040
just Google free teleprompter. Okay. Yeah. So,

00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:53.279
uh, what kind of, uh, if you don't mind me asking,

00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:57.199
what kind of, uh, uh, problems did, uh, what

00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:58.819
kind of health and wellness problems did you

00:07:58.819 --> 00:08:04.000
have when you started? So I had obviously gastrointestinal

00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:07.660
issues was the root of all of my issues. I'm

00:08:07.660 --> 00:08:09.519
obvious. I still deal with them today. They're

00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:12.100
100 times better. I barely notice them anymore,

00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:14.300
but they're still like lingering problems. Some

00:08:14.300 --> 00:08:18.720
of the things it caused, ridiculous gas. I could

00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:23.300
clear a room very easily. Bloating. I was very

00:08:23.300 --> 00:08:25.879
tired all the time. I had brain fog to the point

00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:28.360
where I was, I would show up to classes and not

00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:30.120
be conscious. Like someone could talk to me.

00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:32.200
I had no recollection that they talked to me

00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:34.700
because I was kind of like a walking zombie,

00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:40.080
honestly. Due to that brain fog, irregular bowel

00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:47.059
movements, bad acne, skin problems, poor sleep.

00:08:47.460 --> 00:08:50.460
It was really a bunch of different things that

00:08:50.460 --> 00:08:53.919
honestly all are usually rooted in poor gut health.

00:08:54.620 --> 00:08:57.879
So for me, it was, and then that weight gain

00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:01.080
that I could literally, I swear, look at something

00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.779
and gain weight and never be able to get any

00:09:03.779 --> 00:09:08.429
weight off. So it was very much a journey of

00:09:08.429 --> 00:09:13.190
learning why my gut was so upset and what things

00:09:13.190 --> 00:09:15.929
were causing this and causing all these problems.

00:09:15.990 --> 00:09:18.570
Because prior to that, me looking for answers,

00:09:18.610 --> 00:09:21.669
I wasn't really addressing the problem. I was

00:09:21.669 --> 00:09:23.570
sometimes avoiding causes. Like in high school,

00:09:23.669 --> 00:09:26.009
I usually skipped breakfast or lunch or both

00:09:26.009 --> 00:09:28.830
because they would make the brain fog worse.

00:09:29.470 --> 00:09:32.710
And so if I didn't eat the meal, I wouldn't sleep

00:09:32.710 --> 00:09:36.370
through my classes. but have learned that it

00:09:36.370 --> 00:09:38.350
was certain foods that were causing the problem

00:09:38.350 --> 00:09:45.110
now is what I've learned. I can relate with the

00:09:45.110 --> 00:09:50.250
acne part because I used to eat a lot of unhealthy

00:09:50.250 --> 00:09:54.429
food. Not because my parents promoted unhealthy

00:09:54.429 --> 00:09:58.580
food or anything. I just like I really liked

00:09:58.580 --> 00:10:02.519
all the junk food and I had like a really bad

00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:05.679
acne and of course my brother had to say something

00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:10.480
uh and my because you know how brothers are they

00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:13.500
just kind of just just like to break your shoes

00:10:13.500 --> 00:10:16.419
and he's like Jimmy you have like a big rash

00:10:16.419 --> 00:10:18.480
on your side of your face and it's like well

00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:21.700
thanks that's my acne I appreciate that yeah

00:10:22.299 --> 00:10:25.179
And now it's really funny. I hope he doesn't

00:10:25.179 --> 00:10:31.179
listen to this podcast, but now he's asking me

00:10:31.179 --> 00:10:35.960
for advice of how to clear up one's face. Not

00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.639
making it personal about him, though, but he's

00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:42.139
going to kill me for that later. But oh, well,

00:10:42.139 --> 00:10:46.379
it was well worth it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, it

00:10:46.379 --> 00:10:49.370
is funny how. now that you learn all these things,

00:10:49.450 --> 00:10:51.309
people come to ask you for advice instead of

00:10:51.309 --> 00:10:54.629
the other way around. I like it that way. Yeah,

00:10:54.669 --> 00:10:57.409
so do I. Not too bad they can't pay me for it.

00:10:59.990 --> 00:11:04.570
If I was like, I'll just Google it. Yeah. So

00:11:04.570 --> 00:11:08.450
how long has your business been up and running

00:11:08.450 --> 00:11:11.649
for? I have had the business up and running for

00:11:11.649 --> 00:11:15.789
about a year now. It is growing slowly, but I'm

00:11:15.789 --> 00:11:18.590
okay with that because I'm still in school. I'm

00:11:18.590 --> 00:11:22.389
still studying. I work almost full time doing

00:11:22.389 --> 00:11:24.970
some other things. So I'm growing it slowly.

00:11:25.129 --> 00:11:27.350
And then those other things will start to lessen

00:11:27.350 --> 00:11:30.830
as the business will take off. But I'm really

00:11:30.830 --> 00:11:33.870
working on gaining more clients, gaining more

00:11:33.870 --> 00:11:36.789
connections through things like podcasting or

00:11:36.789 --> 00:11:39.009
just being present on social media, as well as

00:11:39.009 --> 00:11:43.519
I live in a beautiful nature filled area. with

00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.379
a lot of open air venues and due to the pandemic

00:11:46.379 --> 00:11:49.659
and everything right now, our gyms and fitness

00:11:49.659 --> 00:11:53.620
classes and stuff are very, very limited just

00:11:53.620 --> 00:11:56.360
based on restrictions. So I'm in the process

00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:58.679
of working with a lot of these local venues to

00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:00.840
offer like outdoor fitness classes and things

00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.059
like that so that there is more opportunity.

00:12:04.940 --> 00:12:11.519
I do a lot of Beach By On Demand. I haven't been

00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:16.480
to a gym. Probably like four or five years now.

00:12:18.539 --> 00:12:25.600
I got tired of driving to the gym. I'm not being

00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:28.700
lazy or anything, but by the time I get to the

00:12:28.700 --> 00:12:32.039
gym, it's like, okay, I already lost like 20

00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:35.100
minutes in the car. Maybe not even 20 minutes.

00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:44.230
I would say 15 minutes. equipment you want to

00:12:44.230 --> 00:12:46.629
use, someone's already using it. And I was like,

00:12:46.730 --> 00:12:49.470
well, this throws them off my night. And I was

00:12:49.470 --> 00:12:51.330
like, so I came here, someone's already using

00:12:51.330 --> 00:12:54.970
the stuff I wanted to use. And I was like, gee,

00:12:55.070 --> 00:12:57.669
I could do basically the same thing I do at a

00:12:57.669 --> 00:13:02.809
gym in my own house. Yeah, I do a mix. Especially,

00:13:03.029 --> 00:13:06.149
so gyms here only opened back up about a month

00:13:06.149 --> 00:13:09.549
ago. So they were closed for about six months.

00:13:09.610 --> 00:13:12.870
And now if you want to be at the gym and work

00:13:12.870 --> 00:13:15.110
out there you have to wear a mask for everything

00:13:15.110 --> 00:13:18.490
and personally I don't want to do that. While

00:13:18.490 --> 00:13:21.330
I'm working out I get too overheated because

00:13:21.330 --> 00:13:23.830
I usually do higher intensity work at the gym

00:13:23.830 --> 00:13:28.629
with equipment so I thankfully have treadmill

00:13:28.629 --> 00:13:32.970
weights. I just got a spin bike yesterday so

00:13:32.970 --> 00:13:35.730
I have a equipment here that I can use and want

00:13:35.730 --> 00:13:40.269
to use so I do a mix. A little bit at the gym

00:13:40.269 --> 00:13:44.059
usually. Often after I'm done with a shift there,

00:13:44.220 --> 00:13:48.220
which is usually the only main reason I go. And

00:13:48.220 --> 00:13:50.700
then the rest of it's often at home or outside

00:13:50.700 --> 00:13:56.039
somewhere in the area. That's what I do with

00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:00.279
karate. I do three days of karate and then I

00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:07.440
do three days of beach body on demand. My karate,

00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:12.679
they've been up in flight. a few months now and

00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:17.399
the reason I haven't gone back yet because one,

00:14:17.659 --> 00:14:23.059
my parents are in the middle of trying to sell

00:14:23.059 --> 00:14:25.659
the house and I'm gonna have to eventually move

00:14:25.659 --> 00:14:28.399
to my short house and so I was like well I can't

00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:35.399
keep going back and forth. And plus, we can't

00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:38.120
spar with anyone. We can't work with anyone.

00:14:38.379 --> 00:14:42.360
So we just only add our own punching bags. There

00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:48.419
are so many ads these days wherever you go. There

00:14:48.419 --> 00:14:51.879
are ads in movie theaters, on TV, on radio, and

00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:54.500
on billboards. So why would you want to listen

00:14:54.500 --> 00:14:57.899

00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:31.059
back to the show. I'll just go get a punching

00:15:31.059 --> 00:15:34.220
bag in my own house. Yeah, that definitely makes

00:15:34.220 --> 00:15:38.279
it a little harder and less fun. And I'm not

00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:43.879
saying like, I only did karate just to work with

00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:47.559
somebody, but I was like, I'll just stay on Zoom

00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:50.259
classes at the moment. Yeah, yeah, completely.

00:15:50.740 --> 00:15:53.500
I mean, I miss, so with teaching group fitness

00:15:53.500 --> 00:15:55.600
classes, I'm used to seeing those same people

00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:58.059
a couple of times a week normally when I teach.

00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:02.019
lately. I haven't, I've taught one time since

00:16:02.019 --> 00:16:04.419
we've opened back up, and I was just a substitute

00:16:04.419 --> 00:16:10.200
for someone else, and it's not the same. I miss,

00:16:10.500 --> 00:16:12.840
because I keep up the fitness by practicing the

00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:17.500
class pieces at home, but it's not the same when

00:16:17.500 --> 00:16:22.700
I'm not with participants, for sure. Do you think,

00:16:22.700 --> 00:16:26.840
in your opinion, do you think stuff will ever

00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:31.240
go back the same? I, I have honestly no clue.

00:16:31.700 --> 00:16:35.899
I have faith that it will. But I mean that I

00:16:35.899 --> 00:16:39.220
truly don't know. It's very hard to tell at this

00:16:39.220 --> 00:16:44.039
point. And so I'm currently getting a master's

00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:46.179
in public health. So I am sitting and learning

00:16:46.179 --> 00:16:49.360
all about all the pandemic information day in

00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:52.039
and day out because that's what my master's is

00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:53.899
in basically. So it's a perfect time to be in

00:16:53.899 --> 00:16:59.110
that master's field. But there's a lot of uncertainty

00:16:59.110 --> 00:17:01.250
that goes along with having to deal with something

00:17:01.250 --> 00:17:05.289
like a pandemic, regardless of which one it is

00:17:05.289 --> 00:17:08.069
or how infectious it is. There's a lot of unknowns.

00:17:08.829 --> 00:17:12.869
The CDC is not teaching you, right? No, they're

00:17:12.869 --> 00:17:16.509
not. That's good. Yeah, it's just one of those

00:17:16.509 --> 00:17:18.730
that like looking at that stuff or what the World

00:17:18.730 --> 00:17:20.950
Health Organization, there's just a lot of inconclusive

00:17:20.950 --> 00:17:25.049
data, which is expected, honestly. People, I

00:17:25.049 --> 00:17:28.230
think, think they want answers now. And it's,

00:17:28.230 --> 00:17:31.549
I get that, but it's also very hard for them

00:17:31.549 --> 00:17:37.269
to do a decent study in less than a year. Yeah,

00:17:37.349 --> 00:17:40.869
I totally understand. I totally agree with you

00:17:40.869 --> 00:17:45.369
on that. It is, I think I got tired of the CDC

00:17:45.369 --> 00:17:48.230
just putting their foot in their, putting their

00:17:48.230 --> 00:17:51.349
foot in their mouth every other week. And it's

00:17:51.349 --> 00:17:53.549
like, oh, and then they take it back. And it's

00:17:53.549 --> 00:17:57.079
like, come on, there's no take backs. I agree

00:17:57.079 --> 00:17:59.099
with you on that. I actually wrote a paper on

00:17:59.099 --> 00:18:00.839
that because I had to study the whole timeline

00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.519
of this current pandemic. And there was a lot

00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:05.200
of back and forth. And I was like, it should

00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:06.920
be one thing and you stick with it, at least

00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:09.660
for until there's new and relevant information

00:18:09.660 --> 00:18:12.859
out there. Because they were at the beginning,

00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:14.480
they just didn't know enough. So they were trying

00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:18.539
to just prepare for the worst. But it's not an

00:18:18.539 --> 00:18:22.750
easy task. or like even rephrase it saying well

00:18:22.750 --> 00:18:26.210
we're thinking of we think at this at this moment

00:18:26.210 --> 00:18:29.589
that it's doing this but we'll let you know and

00:18:29.589 --> 00:18:32.109
we'll update you further and then you can take

00:18:32.109 --> 00:18:34.869
it back but the way that they've been doing it

00:18:34.869 --> 00:18:39.130
is like well and you guys are experts and it's

00:18:39.130 --> 00:18:43.049
like yesterday i was looking for a uh source

00:18:43.049 --> 00:18:48.680
for my uh for my paper i'm writing and uh And

00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:51.220
I kid you not, one of the articles written by

00:18:51.220 --> 00:18:56.180
the CDC, a few bullet points was not even like

00:18:56.180 --> 00:19:00.200
written, it was written in English, but the sentence

00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.799
was not even grammatically correct. And it was

00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:06.700
like, and you guys are ranking up the first page

00:19:06.700 --> 00:19:09.319
of Google and you guys are supposed to be experts.

00:19:09.579 --> 00:19:12.980
And it's like, I'm not saying that. Yes, but

00:19:12.980 --> 00:19:16.079
you also have to realize that I don't have obviously

00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:18.369
complete sympathy for it, but I. again, read

00:19:18.369 --> 00:19:20.809
literature on it all the time, or I'm currently

00:19:20.809 --> 00:19:24.670
reading a book about past pandemics and outbreaks

00:19:24.670 --> 00:19:27.369
and things like that. And this one has first

00:19:27.369 --> 00:19:31.470
person accounts of individuals who are basically

00:19:31.470 --> 00:19:35.490
in charge of reacting to the problems and diseases.

00:19:36.089 --> 00:19:39.029
And yes, I agree with you that there's a lot

00:19:39.029 --> 00:19:42.230
of back and forth and stuff that makes you really

00:19:42.230 --> 00:19:45.549
question, but also remember they are people and

00:19:45.549 --> 00:19:50.390
they all have their own opinions too. For like,

00:19:50.390 --> 00:19:52.849
an example is I'm currently reading a book on

00:19:52.849 --> 00:19:56.690
Ebola. And with this Ebola outbreak that's happening

00:19:56.690 --> 00:20:00.230
in the book, there's five different experts in

00:20:00.230 --> 00:20:04.650
that field. One of them has worked in live outbreaks

00:20:04.650 --> 00:20:09.029
with no PPE. And so as a result of him not getting

00:20:09.029 --> 00:20:11.410
ill from it, working for days in that way, he

00:20:11.410 --> 00:20:15.640
does not agree with the need for PPE. because

00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:17.400
he doesn't feel it's infectious enough, where

00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:19.940
the rest of them are getting into full biohazard

00:20:19.940 --> 00:20:24.140
suits because of how infectious it can be. So

00:20:24.140 --> 00:20:27.220
there's all those, I don't know, maybe I just

00:20:27.220 --> 00:20:28.880
have maybe a little bit more sympathy as I'm

00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:31.119
reading these things and noticing it, but they're

00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:32.819
all people and they have their own opinions,

00:20:32.900 --> 00:20:34.720
and it's kind of hard sometimes, I think, for

00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:37.940
them to all come to a consensus, especially as

00:20:37.940 --> 00:20:41.720
research is going on and developing. Okay, I

00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:46.289
agree with you on that as well. And I get it.

00:20:46.289 --> 00:20:49.490
We're all humans. We make mistakes. Just, I don't

00:20:49.490 --> 00:20:54.829
know. I just think for myself is that, like,

00:20:54.950 --> 00:20:57.930
I've been known to put my own foot in my own

00:20:57.930 --> 00:21:01.970
mouth, like, a few times. But I don't think I've

00:21:01.970 --> 00:21:06.210
done it multiple times in a week. Yeah, no, I

00:21:06.210 --> 00:21:09.309
completely agree with you that it can be a little

00:21:09.309 --> 00:21:11.369
difficult, especially when they're constantly

00:21:11.369 --> 00:21:14.799
changing information. And I just can't wrap my

00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:17.660
brain around it. I think that's why I'm also

00:21:17.660 --> 00:21:20.460
taking a break from the news. Yeah, I don't pay

00:21:20.460 --> 00:21:24.400
that much attention to the news. It's too depressing.

00:21:25.460 --> 00:21:28.299
Yeah, and it's a lot of time, honestly, if you'd

00:21:28.299 --> 00:21:31.740
want to look at it day in and day out. I'm only

00:21:31.740 --> 00:21:34.519
reading Health and Wellness now and just listening

00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:39.819
to upbeat podcasts. So how are you surviving

00:21:39.819 --> 00:21:43.069
during the pandemic? Honestly, I think I'm doing

00:21:43.069 --> 00:21:47.289
well considering it. So at the beginning when

00:21:47.289 --> 00:21:48.950
everything closed, it gave me a little bit more

00:21:48.950 --> 00:21:51.789
time to work on projects that I had been pushing

00:21:51.789 --> 00:21:54.990
off. I was home more often where prior to that,

00:21:55.029 --> 00:21:57.670
I was honestly never home. So that was nice.

00:21:58.650 --> 00:22:02.710
Due to the gym being closed, I was able to accept

00:22:02.710 --> 00:22:06.670
a different job. So I now work at a winery a

00:22:06.670 --> 00:22:09.920
couple of days a week, which I love. I was never

00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:13.480
a wine person prior to that, but it's really,

00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:16.180
really fun to learn the science of winemaking

00:22:16.180 --> 00:22:18.599
because it's not just crushing grapes and throwing

00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:21.500
them into a bin and letting them do their thing.

00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:24.980
There's a lot more that goes into it. So it's

00:22:24.980 --> 00:22:27.299
really interesting to learn it. But also now

00:22:27.299 --> 00:22:29.059
that I've been working there for a couple months,

00:22:29.220 --> 00:22:32.259
honestly, being able to like taste different

00:22:32.259 --> 00:22:35.890
wines and taste those notes or. Work out in the

00:22:35.890 --> 00:22:38.910
field and use that fitness strength that I have

00:22:38.910 --> 00:22:42.230
and be pulling the old vines out of the ground

00:22:42.230 --> 00:22:45.990
with my hands. Or with like clippers or things

00:22:45.990 --> 00:22:48.890
like that, or then taking all those picked grapes

00:22:48.890 --> 00:22:52.029
and crushing them and pressing them and putting

00:22:52.029 --> 00:22:55.609
basically starting that winemaking process. So

00:22:55.609 --> 00:22:58.990
it's been really, really fun to kind of learn

00:22:58.990 --> 00:23:01.509
a new skill and also have greater appreciation

00:23:01.509 --> 00:23:03.869
for something I knew nothing about prior to it.

00:23:07.840 --> 00:23:12.400
I have to say, at the start of the beginning

00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:16.579
of this podcast, I mean, of the pandemic, it

00:23:16.579 --> 00:23:21.460
was really, I was basically on top of the world.

00:23:21.700 --> 00:23:26.140
And then I kind of dipped into like a funk a

00:23:26.140 --> 00:23:30.619
little bit. But then I'm starting to climb back

00:23:30.619 --> 00:23:33.099
up on the top of the hill again. That's good.

00:23:33.609 --> 00:23:36.869
yeah it's probably like a camel home yeah I think

00:23:36.869 --> 00:23:39.829
I dipped a little bit at the beginning just because

00:23:39.829 --> 00:23:43.049
like my original plans for the end of my spring

00:23:43.049 --> 00:23:46.670
semester were obviously changed I had planned

00:23:46.670 --> 00:23:49.950
to run a running race in May and do x y and z

00:23:49.950 --> 00:23:52.130
and all of that had changed but I also used that

00:23:52.130 --> 00:23:54.049
opportunity to do different things I started

00:23:54.049 --> 00:23:59.990
my own podcast I leveraged the tool of zoom to

00:24:00.910 --> 00:24:03.369
you know, work that podcast, but also just connect

00:24:03.369 --> 00:24:06.750
with other people, which I wouldn't have probably

00:24:06.750 --> 00:24:09.369
done otherwise and have met people all over the

00:24:09.369 --> 00:24:15.650
world as a result. I started my podcast earlier

00:24:15.650 --> 00:24:20.089
this year as well. I started in April, April

00:24:20.089 --> 00:24:24.190
12th, and it was the mark of Crazy Fitness Guy's

00:24:24.190 --> 00:24:27.130
third year of up and running. Awesome. That's

00:24:27.130 --> 00:24:29.089
awesome. Never thought I would make it to year

00:24:29.089 --> 00:24:36.509
three. I don't somehow. Let's see if I can reach

00:24:36.509 --> 00:24:44.970
year four. I think you've got it. So what would

00:24:44.970 --> 00:24:50.269
your advice be for people who are still feeling

00:24:50.269 --> 00:24:53.609
suffering from this whole pandemic and kind of

00:24:53.609 --> 00:24:58.099
depression sort of? I think honestly, just being

00:24:58.099 --> 00:25:02.460
grateful for what you have, regardless of what

00:25:02.460 --> 00:25:05.480
it is. If it is that you are still able to, I

00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:09.619
don't know, run outside or that you have extra

00:25:09.619 --> 00:25:11.680
time with your dog. I don't know. I very much

00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:14.980
try to look at the positives, regardless of what's

00:25:14.980 --> 00:25:18.279
going on. And often as a result, feel that I

00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:22.039
am, the universe almost rewards me for it. In

00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:24.380
a way, like, I feel that because I'm always grateful

00:25:24.380 --> 00:25:26.319
for what comes to me, more good things happen,

00:25:26.619 --> 00:25:29.559
if that makes sense. Can you teach me how to

00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:37.259
do this? Sure. Man, I wish we had this podcast

00:25:37.259 --> 00:25:40.720
on Monday because, man, on Monday this week,

00:25:40.779 --> 00:25:42.819
I was just kind of just feeling everything. And

00:25:42.819 --> 00:25:45.640
it's like, oh, so no one wants to get in my way

00:25:45.640 --> 00:26:00.890
today. Here's a question for you. Where do you

00:26:00.890 --> 00:26:05.990
see your business in the next, let's say, five

00:26:05.990 --> 00:26:09.329
years? I don't completely know where I see it

00:26:09.329 --> 00:26:11.490
in the next five years. In the next year, I'd

00:26:11.490 --> 00:26:14.609
like to have a full booking of fitness classes

00:26:14.609 --> 00:26:18.329
each week by next fall because it might not happen

00:26:18.329 --> 00:26:21.369
with winter and the pandemic. to be able to offer

00:26:21.369 --> 00:26:23.670
classes outside. I live in New York State. It

00:26:23.670 --> 00:26:28.910
snows a lot and gets cold, so it's not necessarily

00:26:28.910 --> 00:26:30.910
going to work to have outdoor classes. But by

00:26:30.910 --> 00:26:33.589
next year and having the summer, building that

00:26:33.589 --> 00:26:37.150
group, having a full -time load of clients, still

00:26:37.150 --> 00:26:39.670
being able to work at the winery part -time just

00:26:39.670 --> 00:26:41.690
because I really enjoy the connections I make

00:26:41.690 --> 00:26:45.589
there, being able to grow my podcast. I am, I

00:26:45.589 --> 00:26:48.930
think, 35 episodes or so in that have been launched.

00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:53.460
with a bunch still sitting in the library ready

00:26:53.460 --> 00:26:57.240
to go in the next couple weeks so really just

00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:00.400
continuing to spread my message and teach people

00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:03.599
more about gut health because at this point I

00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:06.160
probably will be in school for the next five

00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:09.180
years as well so also know that I it might not

00:27:09.180 --> 00:27:11.619
be completely realistic to grow it super large

00:27:11.619 --> 00:27:16.019
super quickly I can't believe you have 35 episodes

00:27:17.609 --> 00:27:20.190
Yeah, I've been putting out between one and two

00:27:20.190 --> 00:27:24.690
a week. It depends. That's probably why because

00:27:24.690 --> 00:27:30.029
I only did mine monthly because I got so much

00:27:30.029 --> 00:27:32.970
school. I have between just two classes this

00:27:32.970 --> 00:27:38.420
semester. There's so much work. And I'm not complaining

00:27:38.420 --> 00:27:42.000
about the work. I can do the work. On top of

00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:48.660
the work and the homework and on top of running

00:27:48.660 --> 00:27:51.839
my website, the podcast, the newsletter, the

00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:54.400
marketing, I was like, I can't do everything

00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:58.880
at once. Yeah, yeah. I get that. I mean, it was,

00:27:58.900 --> 00:28:02.099
I started with one a week and then I realized

00:28:02.099 --> 00:28:07.109
that I had recorded like 15, 20 different episodes

00:28:07.109 --> 00:28:11.990
with different people. And so then I was like,

00:28:11.990 --> 00:28:13.430
oh, I need to really get those out there. So

00:28:13.430 --> 00:28:14.930
I started doing two a week. And then there's

00:28:14.930 --> 00:28:17.529
some solo episodes mixed in when I feel the need

00:28:17.529 --> 00:28:21.470
to share something that way. So it kind of depends

00:28:21.470 --> 00:28:24.670
on the week or like, I will tell you this week,

00:28:24.710 --> 00:28:28.099
I was just so busy. I didn't put any out. It

00:28:28.099 --> 00:28:30.180
didn't happen. And sometimes when weeks like

00:28:30.180 --> 00:28:33.299
that happen, I use Anchor for my podcast. So

00:28:33.299 --> 00:28:35.140
I can actually record an entire episode on my

00:28:35.140 --> 00:28:38.240
cell phone. You and me both. Okay. Yeah. And

00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:40.279
so then sometimes I'll literally be sitting at

00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:43.059
the gym and it'll be empty. So I'll just sit

00:28:43.059 --> 00:28:44.779
there and record an episode on my phone and just

00:28:44.779 --> 00:28:46.299
send that out. And I know it's not necessarily

00:28:46.299 --> 00:28:49.880
the same planned or interview, but I still feel

00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:54.559
I'm able to put value out there. people interested

00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:56.619
so like next week I might honestly put out four

00:28:56.619 --> 00:28:58.480
episodes because I foresee myself having some

00:28:58.480 --> 00:29:03.400
more time to do that like I uh for instance I

00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:06.799
have a library full of uh well not really like

00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:09.500
really full but I have like maybe four or five

00:29:09.500 --> 00:29:13.220
episodes I haven't put out yet but I'm going

00:29:13.220 --> 00:29:16.480
to but like sometimes there's a few months where

00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:20.339
I do like one or two per month like That's going

00:29:20.339 --> 00:29:24.380
to happen this month because I forgot I had a

00:29:24.380 --> 00:29:26.980
doctor's appointment on Monday. And then I changed

00:29:26.980 --> 00:29:31.259
my karate schedule temporarily from Monday at

00:29:31.259 --> 00:29:36.039
12 noon. So I was like, this is really fun. I

00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:41.640
was like, okay, I'm going to have to just take

00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:48.789
an episode from the library. edit it and send

00:29:48.789 --> 00:29:56.369
it out again it's amazing yeah so I've been putting

00:29:56.369 --> 00:29:58.950
out a fair number of episodes but it's also sometimes

00:29:58.950 --> 00:30:01.210
I give myself that little bit of grace but I'm

00:30:01.210 --> 00:30:05.549
also not focusing on my website or anything like

00:30:05.549 --> 00:30:09.490
that because uh so my website I rebranded this

00:30:09.490 --> 00:30:13.970
summer uh for just a number of reasons that I

00:30:13.970 --> 00:30:15.970
rebranded to Guts and Gains Wellness this summer

00:30:16.539 --> 00:30:18.779
And prior to that, just had had all my coaching

00:30:18.779 --> 00:30:21.079
under my name on a website that had my name on

00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:25.059
it. And just didn't feel like it was me anymore.

00:30:25.180 --> 00:30:27.839
And I was the website host that I was using.

00:30:27.859 --> 00:30:31.700
I felt like I was being limited. So I kind of

00:30:31.700 --> 00:30:33.819
transitioned off it. Slash also had the issue

00:30:33.819 --> 00:30:35.859
for some reason, Facebook marketed as spam. So

00:30:35.859 --> 00:30:38.119
I couldn't even promote my website or my business

00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:43.579
on Facebook. What did you use? Squarespace. So

00:30:43.579 --> 00:30:45.160
it shouldn't have been an issue, but it was.

00:30:45.660 --> 00:30:47.579
Squarespace couldn't fix it. Facebook couldn't

00:30:47.579 --> 00:30:50.400
fix it. And I was ready to rebrand anyway. So

00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:55.579
I just rebranded. But I just have a simple MailChimp

00:30:55.579 --> 00:30:58.740
landing page for the time being. That's really

00:30:58.740 --> 00:31:03.380
weird that Facebook marked Squarespace website

00:31:03.380 --> 00:31:08.900
as spam. Yeah. I don't know. I use Squarespace.

00:31:10.180 --> 00:31:16.730
Maybe it was because of... There are so many

00:31:16.730 --> 00:31:19.670
ads these days wherever you go. There are ads

00:31:19.670 --> 00:31:23.250
in movie theaters, on TV, on radio, and on billboards.

00:31:23.630 --> 00:31:26.269
So why would you want to listen to ads in a podcast?

00:31:54.059 --> 00:32:01.519
notes. Now let's get back to the show. Were you

00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:06.519
using their customized, like they gave you like

00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:13.099
their own domain? I was using my own domain,

00:32:13.140 --> 00:32:16.759
so I'm not really. sure what was triggering it,

00:32:16.819 --> 00:32:19.619
but I was ready to rebrand anyway. So I have

00:32:19.619 --> 00:32:22.119
a new domain, but for the time being, I'm just

00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:24.500
using a free MailChimp landing page. If people

00:32:24.500 --> 00:32:28.619
are interested in something like that, as I transition,

00:32:28.980 --> 00:32:31.880
obviously to that new domain, but I'm also going

00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:34.980
to be using a new host just because I like the

00:32:34.980 --> 00:32:36.880
opportunities the new host would provide me.

00:32:37.740 --> 00:32:43.000
Yeah, I definitely understand about sometimes

00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:45.500
career space being limited, but I found a lot

00:32:45.500 --> 00:32:49.799
of workarounds for a lot of different things.

00:32:50.180 --> 00:32:53.400
Yeah, yeah. But I just kind of like paying the

00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:56.859
little bit extra money that if something goes

00:32:56.859 --> 00:33:00.339
down, they have to do it. And it frees me up

00:33:00.339 --> 00:33:03.500
to do a bunch of my other things because I'm

00:33:03.500 --> 00:33:09.789
not running it. Yeah, yeah. I just felt that

00:33:09.789 --> 00:33:11.730
because their customer service couldn't fix the

00:33:11.730 --> 00:33:14.589
spam issue, I was kind of, and I was ready to

00:33:14.589 --> 00:33:18.230
rebrand and have switch it up. I was, and a friend

00:33:18.230 --> 00:33:21.170
basically knows the founder of this other host.

00:33:21.630 --> 00:33:24.609
And it's basically, it's got no limits because

00:33:24.609 --> 00:33:27.690
you basically code it, but it's not straight

00:33:27.690 --> 00:33:30.930
code. It's like a drag and drop kind of, it's

00:33:30.930 --> 00:33:33.410
like a mix, but you have the ability to code

00:33:33.410 --> 00:33:35.890
it. So I'm in the process of learning how to

00:33:35.890 --> 00:33:38.769
use. the building format they have, and then

00:33:38.769 --> 00:33:40.890
we'll start putting a website together that way.

00:33:41.190 --> 00:33:43.750
Who's your new host? Just curiosity. Webflow.

00:33:44.769 --> 00:33:46.930
Never heard of them, but that means nothing to

00:33:46.930 --> 00:33:54.650
me. Yeah, but they're tiny. Was it like on WordPress

00:33:54.650 --> 00:33:58.869
or something? No, it's its own. It's Webflow.

00:34:00.390 --> 00:34:02.710
It's its own thing. I think it might be on the

00:34:02.710 --> 00:34:08.000
newer end. I want to say one of my mutual friends,

00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:10.880
like they're a mutual friend of theirs, like

00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:14.500
designed it. So I was like, I'll look at it.

00:34:14.539 --> 00:34:20.619
I like it. Well, that's good that you found somebody,

00:34:20.699 --> 00:34:25.599
but I just couldn't, I was working like 90 plus

00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:30.079
hours a week on WordPress and I did that for

00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:33.989
a whole year. And I remember just laying on the

00:34:33.989 --> 00:34:38.070
couch one day because I was just like, I think

00:34:38.070 --> 00:34:41.130
it was like I'm just on the weekend. And I was

00:34:41.130 --> 00:34:42.750
just talking to my mom on the phone. I was like,

00:34:42.829 --> 00:34:46.250
I don't think I can do this anymore if I don't

00:34:46.250 --> 00:34:50.909
switch platforms. And she's like, where else

00:34:50.909 --> 00:34:54.639
can you go? There's so many people, so many companies

00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:57.880
out there. And I was like, I barely even scratched

00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:01.260
the surface. And so when I just found Squarespace,

00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:03.900
it was like the only one that could literally

00:35:03.900 --> 00:35:07.059
import all my blog posts because I didn't, even

00:35:07.059 --> 00:35:09.260
though I'm like rewriting basically all, like

00:35:09.260 --> 00:35:12.000
have all of them from the beginning because they

00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:16.739
were just terribly written. And if anybody sees

00:35:16.739 --> 00:35:20.159
that on my website. ignore those posts because

00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:22.539
they are just garbage. It's trash. It's not in

00:35:22.539 --> 00:35:27.719
my writing. Pay no attention to it. I'm like

00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:30.920
the Wizard of Oz. The Wizard and Wizard of Oz.

00:35:31.219 --> 00:35:34.280
Don't pay attention to the guy behind the curtain.

00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:43.199
So before we wrap up, where can people find you?

00:35:43.940 --> 00:35:47.579
They can find me the main two places I hang out.

00:35:48.789 --> 00:35:52.389
are on my podcast which is currently margaret's

00:35:52.389 --> 00:35:54.869
healthy hour but in the next month we'll be transitioning

00:35:54.869 --> 00:35:58.329
to guts and gains wellness podcast just to match

00:35:58.329 --> 00:36:01.610
the rest of my branding and on instagram at guts

00:36:01.610 --> 00:36:05.989
and gains wellness so i should definitely uh

00:36:05.989 --> 00:36:08.250
see if i can follow you on there and see yeah

00:36:08.250 --> 00:36:13.929
and uh i just chaos before we wrap up uh dear

00:36:13.929 --> 00:36:21.800
uh did i ever I forget. Did I ever ask to be

00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:25.440
on your podcast? I forget. I don't think, I think

00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:28.300
you did, but I don't think you've filled out

00:36:28.300 --> 00:36:31.380
the form yet. I can resend that. Okay. I'm losing

00:36:31.380 --> 00:36:35.030
my freaking mind. I wouldn't even reach out to

00:36:35.030 --> 00:36:36.769
have you record with me for a couple weeks because

00:36:36.769 --> 00:36:39.110
I've got probably 15 recordings in the next two.

00:36:39.110 --> 00:36:44.949
That's fine. I've been asking so many different

00:36:44.949 --> 00:36:50.289
people in the podcast group I'm in. I was like,

00:36:50.409 --> 00:36:56.010
did I fill out this? I love I get a message from

00:36:56.010 --> 00:36:57.409
someone. They're like, hi, I'm from the podcast

00:36:57.409 --> 00:36:59.250
group. I'm like, I don't remember if I asked

00:36:59.250 --> 00:37:01.590
you to be on my show or if you asked to be on

00:37:01.590 --> 00:37:05.809
mine. Which way we wanted this to work. Yeah.

00:37:05.969 --> 00:37:08.869
And so I'm like, I'm kind of just like lost at

00:37:08.869 --> 00:37:16.769
everything. Yeah, exactly. Well, let's, so thanks

00:37:16.769 --> 00:37:21.710
