We’ve got a great show ahead of us. Today we are going to learn about Physical fitness from our guest, our sister from another mister, Dr Theresa Larson - why physical fitness is important, what are some best practices, what exercise does for our minds and bodies… that mind body connection…  and also what happens if we neglect our bodies and don’t remain active. So Get ready more great wisdom coming your way! Dr. Theresa Larson (aka “Dr. T”) has become one of the healthcare and fitness world’s most sought after experts on movement health.

"Men and Therapy" w/ Shauna Springer, Ph.D., Leading Expert Therapy  Men Talking Mindfulness!!   Let's change the stigma surrounding mental health for EVERYONE including men!   As we discussed in our "Asking for Help Episode" - men are less likely to ask for help - well, men are less likely to seek help with their mental health!  According to the American Psychological Association, “dozens of studies and surveys over the past several decades have shown that men of all ages and ethnicities are less likely than women to seek help for all sorts of problems–including depression, substance abuse and stressful life events–even though they encounter those problems at the same or greater rates as women.”   Join Jon and Will for a special "off schedule" episode of Men Talking Mindfulness as they discuss this topic with special guest, Dr. Shauna Springer ("Doc")!

Jon and Will sit down for a conversation with Marine Officer Veteran and Author, Jake Cosme, to discuss "Victim vs Hero Mindset"   Jake Cosme is a  US Naval Academy Grad, class of 2005.  He is a Marine Corps Officer Veteran who served two combat deployments in Iraq, but then, in summer of 2011 he was pulled over for DUI - leaving the Marine Corps the following year with adverse fitness report.  That was the beginning of a downward spira which ended in his losing his house and going bankrupt, which he found to be his turnaround moment. Since then he has gone on to author a book, The Recipe - A Marine's Mindset for Success - outlining the ingredients for success… and now he is in tech and crypto currency.   Find Jake on Linkedin here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jake-cosme-803706b/ If you like the show, leave us a review here: Leave a review!
