Join me and dive headfirst into a captivating tale of transformation with our special guest, Corey Silveira. His journey from humble beginnings as a janitor to a towering figure in banking, all while juggling the responsibilities of a single father, is nothing short of inspirational. In our discussion, we peel back the layers of ambition, revealing the grit and humor that fuel Corey's continual quest for personal and professional growth.
Ever wondered what it takes to launch a podcast or conquer a fitness plateau? 'Muscle Man and the Twig' is born from just that curiosity, as we share the raw and often humorous behind-the-scenes look at the making of our show. Corey and I dissect the philosophy of taking that first step and the tough love approach to 'choosing your hard,' drawing parallels between the leap into podcasting and the relentless pursuit of peak physical fitness. We don't shy away from the darker side either, delving into the grip of addiction—be it to the gym, caffeine, or the grind of overwork—and its profound effect on our lives and society.
It's a wild ride that balances the weight of addiction and the challenges of personal development with lighthearted speculation and advice that will leave you both enlightened and entertained. Get ready for a thought-provoking journey with plenty of laughter along the way, as we unpack how ambition, perspective, and a good dose of humor can shape your path to success.

Manders Mindset - aqw- Letting Go and Holding On in the Dance of Grief
play

03/08/24 • 13 min

The bittersweet symphony of grief is a melody many of us know all too well, yet its nuances often go unexplored. I delve into my own tender dance with grief—not just in the shadow of death but also through the mourning of life's transitions, like moving on from cherished roles and saying goodbye to friendships. This episode peels back the layers of loss and provides a heartfelt reflection on the necessity of fully embracing our emotions to foster true healing. Shying away from the trappings of toxic positivity, we confront the importance of supporting each other through the full spectrum of our feelings.
With the resonance of every heartfelt moment, the lessons of grief continue to teach us the priceless value of living in the now and appreciating the people who populate our lives. Through the lens of my personal experiences, including the impact of losing my dear friend Lee Silverstein, we're reminded that life’s fleeting nature is a call to action—to love fiercely, to cherish earnestly, and to release what no longer serves us. I invite you to join me in this intimately transformative conversation, where we navigate the complexities of loss and emerge with a renewed commitment to embrace those who love us and the precious, impermanent gift of each day.
