The 1% Better Runner | DLake, Mike Trees & Friends

This short episode is an experiment of sorts called Healthy, Wealthy and Wise.

In our spare time we naturally talk about fitness, wellness, finance and the self improvement that we gain from all of those things. Those conversations sparked the framework for this episode and series.

Hopefully you can learn a bit from our personal lives to apply it to your own life and get more healthy, more wealthy, and more wise.

There is a chance we might extend this out past Phil and me and look to get other health, fitness and self improvement junkies on board to talk some sh*t about their own health, wealth, and wise journeys.

Phil goes into detail about his diet to get back from a cold (non Covid-19/Coronavirus related), his remote pivot with his new business (This Thing of Ours), and is interested in talking more about mental health and thinkings about their thoughts and feelings around the anxiety with Covid-19/Coronavirus pandemic.

Daren talks about his 5K DIY race changeup when the pandemic first struck, tries somewhat timed the market okay to save his a$$, and thinks about how his reaction to Covid-19 is similar to doing an Ironman Triathlon (Spoiler: He wants to say he got through it just fine)

Stoicism Re-Hashed

As the end of the year approaches most of us will likely start reflecting on the year that was and set new goals or “resolutions” for the year that is to come. Well, we’re taking you back to what we think is an important concept that will help you achieve your new year goals and live a joyous and full life.

In this episode, we revisit Stoicism. Stoicism is a philosophy dating back centuries and is still very relevant to today’s living. It is the flip side of what you all know as goal setting but presents another angle towards reaching your objectives in the new decade.

Stoicism and fear setting in particular are cool models and lenses to run things through and even see what didn't work for the year so that you can plan to avoid those things moving into the new year.

It would be awesome if you could subscribe, like and share our podcast. You can hear us on Apple podcast, Spotify, Stitcher and Acast. We’re also active on all of our socials @masterofsomepod (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter) so please give us a follow, like, comment if you enjoy what we do.

Also, all the cool music you hear in this episode is created by Daren. Check out all his tunes here.

QUOTES

20:08 - "Stoicism, at its heart, we don't control the world around us but we do control how we react to it." - Phil Cross

22:06 - "The joy in doing things is in the suffering and the happiness." - Daren Lake

42:47 - "To be a philosopher is not merely to have several thoughts, nor even to found a school, it is to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically but practically. So stoicism is intended as a practical philosophy...fear setting it’s a mechanism for practically thinking through something and enhancing your life and dealing with problems." - Phil Cross

What Does a Fitness Coach Do In Isolation? | Healthy Wealthy Wise 02

If you’ve ever wondered, “What does a personal trainer do in isolation?” This might be the episode for you. If not, then just listen because he talks about a few things that personal trainers don’t really ever speak publicly about.

We also dive into a bit of what happened during this “The C Word”. I’ll treat this as a time capsule of sorts for the future Master of Some to look back on and go “Oh, that’s what we were thinking”

This episode was an interesting one with fitness/nutrition coach and wellness habits trainer, John Fawkes over in Los Angeles California.

This was actually an accidental recording where I kept the tape rolling at the end of a different interview (which is part of a bigger project that I may release in the future)

Who is John Fawkes you might ask?

He’s a writer and a personal trainer from Hollywood, California. He coaches people on diet and exercise who really want to get into the best shape of their lives.

He is an NSCA certified personal trainer, a precision nutrition certified nutrition coach and Bayesian bodybuilding personal training certified.

He strives takes a science based approach to coaching and personalizes it to the individual.
