Energy has been at the top of my mind lately. I’m the kind of guy who’s up at 4, crushing goals, kicking butt at work, working on special projects—you name it. Usually, I’m full of energy. But lately, my energy has been at an all-time low, and, to be honest, it stresses me out. Maybe it’s the COVID-19 pandemic, the quarantine, a brand new job, missing the gym, or lacking my normal routine—who knows—but I’ve felt completely drained for the past two or three months. So, when Stephanie Scheller reached out about coming on the podcast to talk about energy, I was pumped! Stephanie is an expert when it comes to investing energy in things that give you a positive energy ROI, and we’re diving into it today. Are you feeling drained? Low on energy? Do you wish you had more energy to do the things you enjoy? I hope you’ll join Stephanie and me for this exciting discussion. I needed this chat, and trust me, quarantine or not, you probably need to hear this too. So, what do you say? Join us? Let’s do this!

    046 - Find Your Freedom & Overcome the Status Quo w/ Glenda Hoon Russell

    For the full show notes, links, and resources, visit: https://www.austinbollinger.com/podcast/glenda-hoon-russell/ --------- Hey, what’s up, everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the Daily New Year’s podcast. Today we’re talking to someone who lives her life on the go. Some part of me has always wanted to live in an RV while traveling the country, and Glenda Hoon Russell of the Status Foe is doing just that, but that’s not all she’s doing. I don’t want to spoil her story, but after the passing of both her parents, both of which were newly retired and “ready to start living,” Glenda and her husband, Kris, decided that they wanted to start living life sooner rather than later. Why do we wait to live our lives after retirement? Why do so many of us fall victim to the status quo? How is it possible to find freedom at any stage in life? How can we afford to find freedom if we don’t have a huge savings account? Glenda Hoon Russell has found the answers to these questions and more, and she’s sharing them with us here, on the Daily New Year’s Podcast. Are you ready to ditch the status quo? Are you ready to find your freedom so that you can start living TODAY? Tune in and enjoy this exciting episode of the podcast. Here we go!

    045 – Tyler Christensen’s Inspiring Weight Loss Journey (102 lbs in 1 Year)

    What’s going on, everyone! Welcome to another episode of the Daily New Year’s Podcast. Every other Wednesday I love delivering life-changing, exciting, and actionable content to people just like you—people who could be doing anything right now, but you’re here, investing your time in this podcast. I Zoom with interesting people—people far wiser than myself—about how they came to be where they are today. Success, failure, strategy, trial-and-error, inspiration, motivation, focus—I like to cover it all so that you can apply life lessons from people around the world to your own life, and today I’m going deep with Tyler Christensen. Tyler slowly became overweight over the course of 20 years and woke up one day to find himself in the “morbidly obese” classification. His wife was concerned and had an intervention with Tyler. She was concerned about his health. “It wasn’t because I wasn’t trying—it wasn’t because I didn’t care about my wife or my kids—it’s because I hadn’t found the right formula for success yet. And so, I recommitted to her that night, ‘okay, that I was going to make some changes in my life.'” And make changes he did. Tyler struggled for several months as he looked a the successful weight-loss formula and when he found it, he lost 102 pounds in one year. Weight loss, health, and fitness look different to everyone, but in this episode, we’re going to explore Tyler’s story, talk about his failures, and dig into his successes. Are you ready for a surge of inspiration? Are you ready to hear Tyler’s incredible story?

    041 – Nick Bolhuis, Maximize Your Performance & Your Brain Health

    Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of the Daily Newy Year’s podcast! Recently I’ve been releasing more content on health, wellness, mindset, psychology, sleep habits, and nutrition and less about goal-setting strategies, prioritization techniques, and other content that is zeroed in on goal setting. Why? Because, as Goal Getters, we can’t maintain long-term, high-performance in our lives without good health, both mentally and physically. External, physical health is easier to see, but mental health, more specifically, what’s going on in our brains, is nearly impossible to see. Poor nutrition, insufficient sleep, too much screen time, excessive exposure to negativity—all of these things can have lasting effects on the brain, causing poor focus, memory issues, and more. How can we Crush Our Goals if our brains aren’t operating at 100%? We can’t! Joining us today is Nick Bolhuis and he’s going to provide a mountain of valuable takeaways that we can all use to improve our brain health, our focus, our performance, and so much more.
