Ep 079 - Surviving an Active Shooter Assault

It's pretty hard to “Attack Life” if you're living in fear and anxiety because of extreme violence which seemingly is becoming more prevalent. The US Department of Homeland Security's official recommendation is to “Run, Hide, Fight.” Timothy Spiess, retired Senior Special Agent with the US Secret Service joins us to break that down even further.

There are no guarantees, but here are some practical and tactical things you can do to increase your chances of surviving an assault by an active shooter:

• Immediately crouch down

• Seek cover or concealment as quickly as possible

• If possible, move laterally to the shooter(s) and work your way back to where they have been — typically they don’t return to the entrance or area they came from

• As a last resort — or the opportunity arises and you feel you’re able to safely attack and neutralize the shooter — commit using any available means and extreme aggression

Most importantly, work on becoming more aware. Eliminate distractions. Get rid of the noise. Having more awareness won’t just make you safer — it will enhance your life in so many ways.

Ep 078 - You Cannot Control Everything

Contrary to what many other podcasts similar to ours are telling you — YOU CAN’T CONTROL CERTAIN THINGS. A trending topic these days seems to be people telling you things such as “Take control of your life!” and “You’re in control of what happens, so take charge!”

While these people are attempting to empower and embolden you — what they’re really doing is setting you up to fall harder when circumstances strike.

Saying you are in control is simply not true. Don’t misunderstand. We are big proponents of energy. In other words, if you work on being positive you’ll see more good things in your life. Alternatively, if you’re a negative person you’ll see a lot of negativity showing up in your world. Either way, things in life are thrown at you — things that you have no control over.

• Life is a fight — show up and take it on

• Life isn't as pretty as some would make it out to be

• What you CAN control is how you choose to handle what you’re dealt

• Why it’s important to have a support system of faith, family, and friends

• Why it’s important to maintain a strong mind, a strong body, and a strong spirit

We have no control as to whether or not you are going to SUBSCRIBE to our podcast! All we can do is tell you here are some of the places you can: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts

Ep 077 - How to Reduce Anxiety with Dr Jarrod Spencer

Anxiety is something we all deal with to some degree. What most people don’t realize is how dangerous and detrimental it can be if it’s allowed to grow. It can get out of control, lead to other issues, and ruin lives. Dr Jarrod Spencer from Mind of the Athlete, LLC is back again to offer his expertise on how to reduce anxiety. Some of the things discussed include:

• Why for the first time in history an entire generation is over-scheduled and overwhelmed

• One of the commonalities of poor sleep and anxiety is cell phone addiction

• What the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are

• We can't stop feeling anxious if we don't first get better sleep

• If you’re feeling anxious, what the best way to relax is

In case you missed it, last week Jarrod gave us ways to keep our emotional energy high and positive — thereby avoiding depression. He’s also told us how high performers focus.
