Every year, we earmark a day to celebrate the indomitable spirit of women, but on this episode of the 2% Solution Podcast, we do more than mark a calendar date. We trace the footsteps of valiant women whose marches and protests carved the path for the rights we cherish today. Join me for a heartfelt journey through the history of International Women’s Day, from its labor movement origins to the continued quest for equality. We’ll explore the impact of the brave souls who have contributed to the liberties we sometimes take for granted — and the pressing reality that our journey toward equal rights for all genders still stretches far ahead of us. Celebrations are often about looking outward, but today, I turn inward to share the influence of the phenomenal women in my life: my daughter Chardonae, Brie, my wife Christie, and my exceptional mother. Their stories illuminate the episode as they personify the tenacity, wisdom, and resilience we celebrate on International Women’s Day and beyond.

Hey friends! Ever find yourself feeling like your brain's in a blender? 🤯 Same here. But guess what? Hopping on my bike and hitting the road (or trail) works better than pressing that blender's 'off' button. Let’s explore the top 3 brain-boosting benefits of cycling with a sprinkle of humor because...why not? 1. Stress? I Don’t Know Her 🚫🤷‍♂️ Ever feel like you’re a squirrel in traffic? Me too. But after a bike ride, it's more like a Zen master in a quiet forest. Cycling is like sending your stress on a one-way ticket outta town. Pedal out the stress, and let your worries get winded trying to keep up. 2. Hello, Happy Hormones! 😂💊 Feeling gloomy? Let's turn those endorphins up! Riding your bike pumps out happiness hormones like a free candy dispenser. It’s like your brain’s own little party, and guess what? You’re always on the VIP list. 3. Brain Fog? More Like Brain Clear 🧠💨 If your mental clarity is playing hide and seek (and doing a good job at hiding), biking is the seeker. It’s like clearing cobwebs with a leaf blower. Suddenly, those creative ideas and solutions start popping up like toast. Who knew pedaling could power up your brain? So, next time life feels too much, grab your bike, and let's turn those pedals into mood lifters. Because nothing says "I'm conquering life" like two wheels and a bit of breeze. 🌬️🚵‍♂️ Stay wheely awesome, friends! #BikeLife #MentalHealthMatters #RideItOut #PedalPower #StressBuster #HappyHormones #BrainFogBeGone #CyclingJoy

What new passion project has you lit up? ⁠ ⁠ For me, it's my podcast - the #2PercentSolution. ⁠ ⁠ It's been about 14 weeks since I launched, but I'm learning and growing daily.

Ever caught up with an old friend and felt like you just picked up right where you left off? I’ve know these guys for 25 years… @jaceminion @quspace4 @gerrymaryntschak — even though it’s been years since all of us have been together, it felt like no time has passed. A few more grey whiskers, life lessons and happy moments of growth… It’s like time had its hands tied while your friendship kept flourishing in the background. 🕰️ Old friends are those rare gems that life gifts us—connections that don’t dim with distance or fade with time. They’re the ones who’ve seen us evolve, celebrated our highs, and walked with us through our lows. Reconnecting with them isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s a reminder that some bonds are too strong to be weakened by life’s hustle. It’s like opening a book you love and finding new meanings in its familiar pages. 📚❤️ So here’s a little nudge: Reach out to that old friend today. Remind them they’re cherished. In a world that’s always chasing the new, let’s not forget the gold in our old. Because, at the end of the day, avoiding one of life’s biggest regrets means nurturing the connections that truly matter. Old friends are the anchors in our shifting worlds, proving that the best connections are not about being constantly in touch, but about knowing you’re deeply understood and valued, no matter the miles or months apart. 🚀🌍 Let’s celebrate those friendships that withstand the test of time. Because when it comes down to it, they’re the essence of what makes life so incredibly sweet. #OldFriends #TimelessBonds #CherishConnections #LifeIsSweet #FriendshipGoals

Taking it back to the unforgettable moment, I stood on the iconic red dot of the @surreytedx stage. ⁠ ⁠ It wasn't just a platform but a journey back through time, revisiting a chapter of my life that fundamentally reshaped me. 🕰️⁠ ⁠ 14 years ago, amidst my battle with alcohol, it was a life-altering question from my wife that set me on a new path. ⁠ ⁠ That question wasn't just about choice; it was about challenge, change, and ultimately, recovery. ⁠ ⁠ Sharing this story wasn't easy, but if it can inspire even one person to seek the change they need, every moment of vulnerability is worth it.⁠ ⁠ Men's mental health is a silent crisis, with too many of us suffering in the shadows. ⁠ ⁠ Did you know that many men lack deep, meaningful connections in their lives, exacerbating feelings of isolation and despair? ⁠ ⁠ It's a reminder that conversations like these are not just necessary; they're lifesaving.⁠ ⁠ This journey taught me the power of vulnerability, the strength in seeking help, and the incredible impact of having just one person believe in your potential to change.⁠ ⁠ 👉 I invite you to watch the TEDx talk to hear more about this pivotal moment and the lessons it taught me about resilience, recovery, and rebirth. ⁠ ⁠ Let's break the stigma around men's mental health together. ⁠ ⁠ Link in bio. 🎥⁠ ⁠ Together, we can be the change. Let's connect, share our stories, and build a community where no one feels alone. 💪 ⁠ ⁠ 🔴 #ThrowbackThursday

Have you ever felt the magnetic pull of your core values shaping the choices in your life? ⁠ ⁠ Joining us on the podcast is @tara.robertson, an advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), who has forged a path from academia to the frontlines of DEI strategy and coaching. ⁠ ⁠ With Tara's guidance, we traverse the landscape of aligning personal and professional worlds with the values we hold dear, enriching our understanding of why diversity matters and how the power of inclusion can transform our workplaces and communities.⁠ ⁠ Navigating the complexities of organizational culture, this episode peers into the nuanced art of addressing conflict, fostering inclusive spaces, and the bravery needed to stand firm in our beliefs. ⁠ ⁠ I'll share some of my pivotal moments, like wrestling with HR issues in my business, and how core values like fairness led me to leap into new career horizons. These stories underscore a universal truth: living authentically according to our values is essential for our professional identity and inner contentment.⁠ ⁠ As the conversation unfolds, we'll explore why curiosity is the gateway to understanding and empathy, the crucial elements in overcoming life's challenges. From personal growth to setting boundaries, we'll reveal the importance of saying yes to life's true passions while maintaining a balance that honors our well-being. ⁠ ⁠ This episode promises to leave you inspired, reflective, and perhaps even ready to recalibrate your "funnometer" as we celebrate the victories of placing our health and happiness at the forefront.⁠ ⁠ The link to the full episode is in my bio. ⁠ ⁠

I know nagging, chronic conditions can be frustrating. After 2 weeks of dealing with issues stemming from my autoimmune neutropenia, I’m finally getting back to daily movement at the gym. Sometimes the best thing we can do is listen to our body, and treat recovery like a sport. Intentional healing and recovery is powerful. Remember life is a journey of progression and not perfection. Grace and self-love in knowing that with time, and intentional self-care, we can allow our resiliency to support us on our return to thriving. You’re never alone. You got this! 🙏🙌

Ever feel like you're the mayor of NeverNever Land, where 'Tomorrow' is the national anthem and procrastination rules? ⁠ ⁠ Let's talk about the big P - Procrastination. It's not just a buzzword; it's a real challenge many of us face daily. ⁠ ⁠ And guess what? ⁠ ⁠ Saying "I'll do it tomorrow" more often than not means "I won't do it efficiently... ever." 🕰️💭⁠ ⁠ Here's the deal: Procrastination isn't just about being lazy. Research suggests it's linked to our emotional state. ⁠ ⁠ A study in Psychological Science revealed that procrastination is how we manage negative moods around a task. ⁠ ⁠ So, it's not you being unproductive; it's you trying to dodge those icky feelings. 🧠💡⁠ ⁠ But here's the kicker: Constantly pushing things to 'tomorrow' can have some real downers for our mental and physical health. ⁠ ⁠ According to the American Psychological Association, chronic procrastination is linked to higher levels of stress, lower well-being, and even hypertension and cardiovascular disease. ⁠ ⁠ Yikes! That's a hefty price for a trip to NeverNever Land. 😰❤️⁠ ⁠ But wait, there's hope! The secret to breaking free from the chains of procrastination is understanding why you're doing it in the first place. ⁠ ⁠ Are you afraid of failing? Overwhelmed? ⁠ ⁠ Perfectionist tendencies, maybe? ⁠ ⁠ Identifying the root cause is step one to conquering it. 🗝️🔍⁠ ⁠ Let's flip the script. Start small. Break tasks into bite-sized pieces. Celebrate the small victories. And remember, it's okay not to be perfect. ⁠ ⁠ Progress, not perfection, right? 🚀🎉⁠ ⁠ And for those days when you're the president of Procrastination Nation, remember, we're all human. ⁠ ⁠ Laugh it off, reset, and try again. ⁠ ⁠ Because today's 'I can't' is tomorrow's 'I did,' and that's a journey worth embarking on. 🏁💪⁠ ⁠ So, let's bid farewell to NeverNever Land and say hello to GettingThingsDone Ville! ⁠ ⁠ Are you with me? ⁠ ⁠ Let's make those dreams a reality, one small step at a time! ⁠

Today, let's dive into a more powerful mindset than any competition: ⁠ ⁠ "I only compete with myself, and I never lose." 🌟⁠ ⁠ This isn't just feel-good talk. ⁠ ⁠ Science backs it up! Research in positive psychology shows that self-competition leads to personal growth and consistent improvement. ⁠ ⁠ A study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that individuals who measure progress against their benchmarks are more intrinsically motivated and report higher happiness levels. ⁠ ⁠ It's about beating your yesterday, not someone else's today. 📈🌈⁠ ⁠ Here's the secret sauce: Every small step forward is a victory when you compete with yourself. ⁠ ⁠ You're not tangled in the web of comparison or caught up in someone else's race. It's just you, your goals, and your journey. 🏃‍♂️🛣️⁠ ⁠ But remember, this isn't about being self-absorbed. It's about self-improvement. It's about waking each day and asking, "How can I be a better version of myself?" ⁠ ⁠ Whether it's fitness, career, creativity, or personal well-being, the aim is to level up, bit by bit. 🌱💼⁠ ⁠ Funny thing, though – when you're in a race with yourself, the only way to lose is not to run. ⁠ ⁠ So, lace up those metaphorical sneakers and keep moving forward! 🏃‍♀️👟⁠ ⁠ And for those days when you feel like you're not making progress, remember, you're lapping everyone on the couch! ⁠ ⁠ Keep pushing, growing, and celebrating every little win because those small wins add to massive achievements. 🎉🔥⁠ ⁠ Let's embrace this journey of self-competition, where the only loser is stagnation, and every day brings a new chance to be your best self. Are you ready to join the race of a lifetime? 🌟🏁

I'm so thrilled to share that I was recently a guest on the amazing Fallible Man Podcast with the fantastic Brent Dolan. It was an experience I'll never forget! (BTW, link in my bio) In this episode, we dived deep into some personal and challenging topics. We talked about embracing change, finding self-worth, and how these journeys can be full of unexpected twists and turns. When I thought I had things figured out, life threw a curveball my way. But, this conversation with Brent helped me explore these challenges in a new light. Here’s what you can expect from this power-packed episode: We’ll talk about how personal growth and self-improvement can feel effortless. ✅ Discover how to embrace change and witness a powerful shift in your mindset. ✅ Learn about the crucial role of self-worth and confidence in your life. ✅ I share insights on overcoming self-sabotage and breaking free from negative patterns. ✅ And we’ll explore the "2% solution" for self-care and personal development. Brent and I had some insightful moments. We started by discussing the importance of feeling worthy and quickly moved on to how we can reach our full potential. We even touched on lighter topics like our favorite holiday movies and some hilariously failed attempts at TikTok dances. 😂 A personal moment for me was sharing about my autoimmune condition and how I had to sell comic books to fund my education – a story I don't often share. We also got into some deep discussions about embracing vulnerability, dealing with changes from childhood, and the fears that come with change. The episode is filled with insights on neuroscience, the power of a positive mindset, and practical methods like the "Start, Stop, Continue Method" for implementing small life changes. We wrapped up the conversation with a deep dive into the "2% Solution" – a blueprint for self-care that I'm passionate about. So, if you're looking for some motivation, a bit of laughter, and a lot of real talk, this episode is for you. Tune in to The Fallible Man Podcast and join me and Brent on this journey of self-discovery and transformation. I can't wait for you all to hear it and share your thoughts! 🎧💪

Let's discuss something fun and super important for relationships: getting muddy together. And no, I don't mean literal mud (though that's cool, too!). I'm talking about stepping out of your comfort zone as a couple. 🚀⁠ ⁠ Here's the deal: couples that tackle new, challenging experiences together tend to have stronger, more resilient relationships. It's not just a cute saying; there's real science behind it. ⁠ ⁠ A study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that couples who engage in exciting and challenging activities report higher satisfaction in their relationships. It's about sharing those 'heart-pumping' moments that create deeper bonds. 💑⁠ ⁠ It's more than fun when you and your partner try something new or tackle a challenge. ⁠ ⁠ You're building trust, improving communication, and creating a treasure trove of shared memories. ⁠ ⁠ Whether it's trying a new sport, traveling to an unfamiliar place, or even attending a workshop on something neither of you knows much about, it's all about the adventure and what you learn about each other along the way. 🌍⁠ ⁠ These shared experiences can also help you both grow individually. Psychology Today highlights that stepping out of your comfort zone is key to personal growth. So, when you do this with your significant other, you're not just strengthening your relationship. You're also evolving as individuals. 🌱⁠ ⁠ But wait, there's more! Did you know overcoming challenges together can make you happier as a couple? ⁠ ⁠ According to a study by the State University of New York at Stony Brook, couples who engage in novel activities report higher levels of relationship quality and passionate love. ⁠ ⁠ That's because new experiences flood your brain with dopamine and norepinephrine, the same chemicals released during the early days of romantic love. 🎆⁠ ⁠ So, what's the takeaway? ⁠ ⁠ Whether getting muddy in an obstacle race or learning a new language together, pushing your boundaries as a couple isn't just fun – it's a pathway to a deeper and more fulfilling relationship. ⁠ ⁠ Let's embrace those moments that push us, scare us a little, and ultimately bring us closer. ⁠

Ever wonder what fuels your drive to hit the gym or choose a salad over a slice of pizza?⁠ ⁠ We've all been there, struggling to find that elusive spark to kickstart a healthier lifestyle. But here's the catch - motivation isn't a one-size-fits-all deal.⁠ ⁠ Today's episode peels back the curtain on the art of motivation, the powerhouse behind our health ambitions.⁠ ⁠ From the science that reveals how motivation impacts our ability to start and stick with healthy behaviors to the unique ways each of us is wired to respond to different motivational strategies, we leave no stone unturned. ⁠ ⁠ And for those who've ever felt like tossing in the towel, we've got some insights on setting realistic goals and celebrating the mini-victories that'll keep you on track.⁠ ⁠ But wait, there's more than just theory here; we're packing actionable tools into your kit.⁠ ⁠ I'm sharing a favorite – a no-strings-attached workbook, which you can snag from the show notes to help you nail down your 'why.'⁠ ⁠ Because, let's face it, understanding the deep-seated reasons behind our health quests can be a total game-changer. ⁠ ⁠ Also, we're tossing aside the notion of perfection and embracing progress because every baby step forward is a dance move toward victory. ⁠ ⁠ So, gear up for a ride into the heart of what gets us moving and grooving towards better health, better energy, and a presence that radiates positivity in every aspect of our lives.
