EP.147 | Jeff & Derz - Farewell Feed Me Fuel Me Jul 11, 2019

Show notes

It's not the end. It's a shift.

Mycal (@coachderz) & Jeff (@iamjeffthornton) have recorded the final episode of the Feed Me Fuel Me (@feedmefuelme) podcast.

Feed Me Fuel Me isn't Jeff. It's not Derz. It's us. And we decided to leave it that way. This is it.

It has been one hell of a ride up this point. Evolution requires change. We had some very deep conversation off the mic to arrive here. We are leaving the show in a place of mutual support and respect for each other's future endeavors.

We want to say THANK YOU to everyone who supported us through the journey of building FMFM from 0 to 1M+ downloads.

Your support means the world to us and we really appreciate you! Our FMFM community existed only because of you! We are forever grateful for you tuning in and listening to our shows.

To all our AMAZING guests who shared your valuable time and knowledge with us, thank you! It was a true pleasure getting to know each of you and hear your incredible stories. You're all rockstars!

We're excited about the next chapter.

To continue the conversation of Health, Wealth, Relationships, and Time support Derz as he continues this conversation on the 20%' ers Podcast (@20_Percenters) as of July 18th. To catapult the 20%' ers into the massive light that it deserves!!

To support Jeff's journey into the gaming and supplement industry connect with him at QuickSave Nutrition (@QSNLifestyle) as he brings it to market and blows the doors off!!!

We've learned and grown so much in the process of building FMFM. We're pumped for the next phase of the journey.

Until then THANK YOU all for your continued support!

EP.146 | Dr. Morgan Francis - Beating the Shame Game Jul 04, 2019

Show notes

Dr. Morgan Francis, LPC (@drmorganfrancis), owner of Scottsdale Premier Counseling (@scottsdale_premier_counseling_), explains that her passion found her as a result the therapy she received after losing her brother in a tragic accident when she was 16 years old.

As she goes on to describe her journey in this week's episode of Feed Me Fuel Me (@feedmefuelme), she experienced the grieving process with a therapist sourced by her parents, and it was a tremendous help. However, at the same time, she also witnessed her parents challenges, exacerbated by not having a therapist to guide them through the trauma of losing a child.

Dr. Francis would pursue an education in counseling, and would later specialize in helping those that suffer from issues with body image (dysmorphia, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, etc...). She has watched the propensity for these issues grow over the last twelve years in line with the prevalence of social media's chokehold on our attention spans.

Today she goes on the societal factors at the root of much of these issues that impede her patients' self-worth and fulfillment, as well as the mechanisms that can be put in place to mitigate the likelihood of developing these mental conditions.

Her mission is to empower those that struggle everyday with the resources to get out of there own way so that they may once again find themselves more positive and productive with an increased value of self-image.

EP.145 | Tayne Griffin - Her Soul Story Jun 27, 2019

Show notes

Add another badass woman to the list of Feed Me Fuel Me (@feedmefuelme) guests as we sit down with co-founder of Her Soul Story (@her_soulstory), Tayne Griffin (@taynegriffin).

She comes from the world of medical sales but found her passion amidst her own personal growth and development in the wake of losing everything in the recession. Tayne and her family had to give up their home and move into a friend's spare bedroom for months while they picked up the pieces.

Through the process of losing it all, Tayne began to manifest and visualize what it would be like to have it all back. In doing so, she developed the strength to fight for what was hers; inevitably getting it all back.

She doubled down on manifestation and now speaks to women that feel stuck, in their own way, inhibited by inexplainable obstacles. Her Soul Story is a platform for growth and awareness where Tayne is able to inspire others to live in their light, express their truth, and acknowledge the things holding them back while breaking through into their greatness.

Have a listen as we dive deep into Tayne's journey and raise your awareness of what is actually possible when you set your sights on the right target!

EP.144 | Matt Kafora - Make The Sacrifice Worth It Jun 20, 2019

Show notes

Would you be willing to miss the first 18 months of your child's life to ensure they had every opportunity to succeed?

That's what Matt Kafora (@mattkafora) did when he was in making deals, slinging memberships and training for big box gyms early in his career. Then there came a point where Matt decided that there had to be a better way to create the same quality of life and be a presence in his child's life.

So he did what any logical person would do. He burned the boats and went all in on his first Orange Theory (@orangetheory) franchise. We mean "all in" quite literally: taking the loans, using the house as collateral, and still borrowing cash to close the deal. In his words, "Either this works, or my kid doesn't eat."

Now with 7 locations and a portfolio as diverse as it can get, Matt proved to himself and everyone around him that even with your back against the wall, if you remove all other options, there becomes a singular path. Success.

Because Matt understood his flow, he has mastered the game of systems and people, assembling amazing teams that are able to execute at a high level. Because of this unique skill set, Matt also finds himself speaking and consulting on scalability and system implementation.

Join us as we learn more about Matt's journey and commitment to creating the life his kid deserves!

EP.143 | Amanda Goolsby - The Energy Exchange Jun 13, 2019

Show notes

We live in a world more connected than ever. The world couldn't be smaller. The ability to reach out and connect with ANYONE is more than possible now. Yet, we find ourselves confined to the space between our ears more than ever, and when that narrative goes unchecked we can find ourselves in a dark place seeking validation from external sources when that validation actually begins inside you.

This week we get into the self-worth discussion with Amanda Goolsby (@amandagoolsbycoaching), international speaker and business consultant.

She has accomplished a lot in a relatively short period of time. She was one of the first employees of Orange Theory (@orangetheory) in the Arizona market when some of leadership issued her a challenge: the challenge of personal growth and leadership.

As her life would unfold, her productivity would ramp up exponentially to the point where she was traveling the world to open new franchises in new markets. Her role was to oversee the hiring, training, and launching of these new entities. All the while she became a student of authors such as John C Maxwell (@johncmaxwell), confronting the identity issues that came with each phase of her evolution.

Listen this week as we get to Amanda's process to improve her self-worth and the work required within before you are able to deliver impact at her level and beyond.

EP.142 | Bert Martinez - The Immigrant Mentality Jun 06, 2019

Show notes

In the book "The Millionaire Next Door", Thomas J Stanley (@thomasj.stanley) identifies a characteristic common amongst immigrants who come to America and become financially successful as an appreciation for hard work and the power of money.

Bert Martinez (@thebertmartinez), host of the Money for Lunch Podcast was raised in a family that fled communist Cuba, settled in Houston, Texas, and starting the first Spanish newspaper the area. Bert got his start in sales and marketing through the family business. As he points out, his father did not have much appreciation for anything that wasn't the result of hard work.

Bert used public speaking as a tool to overcome a stutter he developed learning English. His career carry him through the ranks of H-town's CBS affiliate. One fateful day, in the absence of a host to interview Joe Vitale (@drjoevitale) who was featured in The Secret (@thesecret365), Bert was thrown into interviewer's chair. Later he would later purchase the show from CBS.

The launch of Money for Lunch has lead Bert on an incredible journey, facilitating the creation of lasting relationships. He now plays a role in soliciting sponsors for various charity organizations such as Arnold's (@schwarzenegger) After-School All-Stars (@afterschoolallstars) benefiting disadvantaged youth, and Randy Couture's (@xcnatch) veterans charity, Xtreme Couture GI Foundation. But it all started with an immigrant mentality.

EP.141 | Jeff & Derz - Branding Is Relationships May 30, 2019

Show notes

We sat down and chopped it up this week, just the two of us, before Jeff (@iamjeffthornton) heads off to Tel Aviv for an Amazon Mastermind. He is shifting gears and going all in on the tricks of the trade in a product-based industry as opposed to what worked when he sold his services as a consultant.

As Jeff discovered last year building Land of Lean (@landoflean), those games are not played the same.

However, where we landed in this conversation was on something monumental. Whether you are pushing a product or a service, the common denominator is the relationship you build with your customers that makes them fall in love with your brand.

This is what makes companies as big as Nike, Apple, and CrossFit what they are today. When you see their logo an emotional connection is made. When people recognize the 4 Star logo of CrossFit PHX (@crossfitphx) there are high expectations of culture, coaching, and process that are immediately triggered.

The stories of the emotions driven by the customer experience are what brings a brand notoriety. That's why we periodically drop episodes without a guest: so that we have an opportunity to connect and get real with you, our tribe, while also allowing you to get to know us on deeper levels.

In the end, branding is all about connection and relationships: how people feel when you come through for them while facilitating a want or a need.

We appreciate the opportunity to connect with you guys! We are grateful for this tribe!

EP.140 | Eric Fellows - You Have To Earn It May 23, 2019

Show notes

As a collegiate tennis player, Eric Fellows (@azfellows) was put through an exercise with the sports psychologist in which he was asked to visualize and describe what winning looked like. He envisioned himself raising the trophy above his head in celebration of victory. Then he was asked, "Do you believe it?" At which point, he had to look deep inside and be honest with himself.

As Eric will go on to describe in this episode, as amazing as it is to WANT success in health, wealth, relationships, and time, it means nothing if you don't believe that you deserve it. It becomes even harder to believe you deserve the abundance the universe has to offer if you haven't put forth the work and effort required.

When asked, "Why real estate?", Eric's answer is every simple: Money. However, not in the narcissistic overlord tone we are so conditioned to receive that answer with. When Eric visualizes winning the game of life, the image that shows up requires, as he will describe in today's conversation, requires a check to be written for a certain amount. Money is the facilitator, not the goal for Eric.

When you look at his success it is easy to see why, as Eric believes he deserves it based upon the life he's created with his beautiful wife and Feed Me Fuel Me (@feedmefuelme) alum, Tammy (@tfellows77), and the relationships he's built as a result of helping people get what they want out of real estate.

Listen up as we dive in on his life philosophy: "We are all playing the game of life. And in this game the goal is to build the best team around us as possible, and see how far we can get."

EP.139 | Rob Worley - Wellness Infused May 16, 2019

Show notes

What do you do when you are resigned to live the rest of your life in pain? To make things worse, the meds you've been prescribed have lead others in your circle to lives of addiction and drug seeking behavior?

That's where Rob's life was headed before he decided to change his path. The result of that change is New Life Juice & Wellness (@newlifejuiceandwellness). After he was electrocuted from the top of a 14 foot ladder, Rob was left with 2 compressed discs and 3 bulging that lead to surgery after avoiding hospital for 2 weeks. The medication he was prescribed was not only highly addictive, but also ravaged his gut manifesting in diverticulosis.

Rob turned to a plant-based diet to fix his gastrointestinal condition. But going Vegan didn't fix his pain. That's when he learned the compounding benefits of CBD!

Rob now has a vision to help as many people as possible through the education of juicing, plant-based nutrition, and the integration of CBD into a holistic lifestyle!

Our journeys are powerful, as they lead us to where we are and greatly influence the impact we have on the world. Rob's journey has lead him to build one or the most innovative holistic operations we've ever seen!

We know you'll enjoy listening to this episode as much as we did recording it!! Rob's passion for his mission is infectious!! Enjoy!!

EP.138 | Justin Maxim - It's All About The Journey May 09, 2019

Show notes

This week, we ride the ride with Justin Maxim (@justin__maxim), our videographer, founder of JMAX Media (@jmaxmediallc) and partner in VaporSwift Media (@vaporswift_media).

A low-key clairvoyant, Justin has consciously and unconsciously followed his intuition from driving a mail truck in the cold winters of Akron, OH to the arid heat of Scottsdale, AZ.

Justin came to the conclusion early on, that being miserable wasn't worth the money. This philosophy lead him to a period of giving. Giving so much, that he had no car and walked a couple miles back and forth to CrossFit PHX, where he offered media services in trade for a membership while moonlighting as a bartender, Ubering back and forth to work.

His giving intuition eventually paid off not only in being immersed in the conversation of happiness, fulfillment, and success via our podcast, but also clarity on his path for media and video. His quest, putting his happiness first, lead him away from the bar in full control of his professional destiny!

Listen up. Justin comes through loud and clear in his authenticity as he shares his journey! From behind the scenes to the hot seat, thank you for giving your truth to our tribe!!
