Super Awesome Runner

This week we talk about how fear can stand in our way, and what to do about it. I know I certainly drive myself crazy because I often know what I need to do to grow my business, but I am afraid to take the steps to do it. I end up standing still rather than make progress, and that helps no one.
This week's song of the week is Blessings by Big Sean & Drake. (Such a good song, and a good reminder hopefully that we have a lot to be grateful for!)

Ever wondered what it takes to transform a simple decision into an extraordinary achievement? Join me, Sam, as I recount my journey of running the New York City Marathon for the first time. You'll hear about the rigorous two-year preparation, the shift in diet and lifestyle, and the unwavering commitment to a goal that seemed daunting at first. It’s a tale that underscores the power of taking that first step toward any dream and the immense satisfaction that awaits at the finish line.
As I faced the marathon's grueling demands, mental and physical barriers loomed large. These challenges tested my resilience and sparked an empowering realization—I had the strength to push through. Supported by friends and family, I adopted strategies to overcome fatigue and emerged with a profound sense of accomplishment. This episode doesn't just share a personal story but offers a universal metaphor for tackling life's big endeavors, inspiring listeners to conquer their ambitions with confidence and perseverance.
With the excitement of crossing the marathon finish line still fresh, I draw parallels to another passion—podcasting. Launching and maintaining a show comes with its own set of challenges, much like training for a marathon. As we gear up for season three, I invite you to reflect on personal goals that align with your core values. Together, let's explore themes of motivation and discipline, celebrate each other's accomplishments, and embrace the journey ahead with gratitude and determination. Follow along and engage on social media for updates and inspiration, where we'll continue to support and uplift one another in our quests for success.

This week I share my experience (and real struggles!) of building a meditation habit, and what I've learned in these ~3 years of meditating every day for 10 minutes a day.
In an upcoming episode, we'll spend more time on the science of meditation.

Welcome to the Super Awesome YOU!
Each week we'll:

• Spend 10-12 minutes talking about motivation, goals, and the struggles that I/we face.
• Dive into some of the science behind why we act the way we do (lots of analogies, get ready).
• Feature 1 song for the 'song of the week' / build an awesome motivational mix over the course of the year
  • Playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2wxmDClsiebNBJ2B3Jut5u?si=d5c8fdc3fb854c12

This first episode talks a lot about self sabotaging, and why we have a voice in our heads that tends to make us feel ridiculous for wanting to pursue goals. This is something I'm very familiar with because honestly it took me about 3 months to even publish this thing after recording it.
