Show notes

This is the time for you to make valid changes and not care about what other people think. That's the message Brian brings for you today. Now that summer is over, you might be back to work, in that 9-to-5 grind, and you'll fall back into the routine, so, why not make it healthy? Corporate jobs are known for being too strict, but everyone anywhere can make health happen.

SLP 057: The Mirror Aug 30, 2021

Show notes

What can you do today to improve your life tomorrow? Every change starts with awareness, and being aware of what needs to be changed is a consequence of self-reflection. Next time you feel you need to address some changes in your life, try and look in the mirror: when you stare into your own eyes, reflecting about your current life, you will instantly know what is worth changing and what is worth improving.

"The choices you choose not to take today will cost you more in the future." – Brian Pannuzzo

In this episode of The Success Lift Podcast, Brian reflects on the end of summer and how you can take the chance now to end repetitive behaviors that you know are not good for you or the lifestyle you wish you had. Brian also talks about the differences that make each one of us unique. When you compare yourself to someone you think has a perfect life, you don't get to see the struggles and dilemmas that person faces when he or she is looking in their mirror.

In this episode you will learn:

Why it's so important to take moments and reflect about what is working and what is not in our lives, using the mirror as a self-reflection tool.

SLP 056: The 3 Yard Rush Aug 23, 2021

Show notes

Setting a goal for yourself is the first step to make in your life to change what needs to be changed. It can be a business goal, a life goal, habit changing, or even a fitness goal… but all goals have one thing in common: they must be attainable. You need to be able to achieve this objective before even going all in, and if a goal ends up being too hard to pursue, how great would it be to have someone by your side?

In this episode of The Success Lift Podcast, Brian talks about goal setting and accountability using football metaphors. When we are on a journey to change, it helps immensely to have a third party with us to figure out what's working and what's not working – just like the professional teams do. Asking for support and having this person, who will be there for you, is not only helpful but a sign of strength.

In this episode you will learn:

Why it's so valuable to have someone in your life that will help you find opportunities, that will help you manage expectations, and will ultimately help you achieve certain goals.

Show notes

Now is the time to change. Waiting for the summer to end or for the work week to begin in order to engage in a healthier lifestyle is something everyone does. If we keep postponing and waiting for the "perfect" moment to start exercising, walking more, eating greens, or drinking more water; the moment will never come. Changing for a good cause is something we don't wait to do, because anytime is the perfect time.

In this episode of The Success Lift Podcast, Brian shares the big secret of taking action: not waiting. Now that summertime is approaching the end and you will get back to your regular routine with your daily habits, it's important to do an inventory of what has been working and what has not been working for your health and what new habits you could possibly adopt for the next season of your life.

In this episode you will learn:

How Brian sees big changes in life and how you – as he has done in the past – don't need to wait for your life to be "perfect" in order to start making health happen

SLP 053: Smart Nutrition Made Simple with Ben Brown Aug 02, 2021

Show notes

When it comes to sustaining a healthy lifestyle, it's important to engage in sustainable goals. However, people wanting to be in better shape don't usually set goals in the first place.

In fact, the whole idea of nutrition can be easy if you just make it simple.

In this episode of The Success Lift Podcast, Brian sits down with Ben Brown to discuss the role of nutrition for an individual whose goal is to feel and live better.
