Edwin and Keith discussed Keith's successful journey in the modeling industry, emphasizing the importance of proactivity, personal branding, and taking calculated risks - all transferable skills to any sector of life. They also explored the challenges of aligning one's actions with their public image, the significance of authenticity, and the value of continuous self-improvement. Lastly, they discussed Keith's future aspirations, the importance of making choices in line with one's values and goals, and the use of social media to showcase one's work.

Keith's first aspiration to model came during undergrad when a teammate said he should be in a Hollister ad. Although Green Bay Wisconsin wasn't the mecca for modeling he still pursued it. He moved to Florida to attend grad school at FSU and then moved farther south to Sarasota, FL. It was at that time he met a colleague who introduced him to J Cordé Models in 2017. The agency helped him get his first photoshoots and gave him direction in starting his portfolio.

Since then he has had the pleasure of shooting with countless photographers and wonderful models. He is always ready for the next adventure that's ahead of him. He has done book covers, infomercials, music videos, and worked with multiple clothing companies and doesn't want to stop there. He wants to keep working from swimsuit to suit & tie and everything in between. Keith is currently managed by Benz Models who are taking him to the next level of success.

Jared Herzog is a singer-songwriter originally from the beautiful panhandle of Florida. Growing up on gospel and worship music, Jared became influenced by the smooth, emotional melodies and joined the choral and ensemble groups in his school and church. In these groups, he competed in the highest levels of state and carried his pursuit of music into his studies at Lee University.

Jared began his professional music career by gigging full time in the 30A (panhandle of Florida) area when Covid put a halt to his career in Nashville. It was in Florida that he met industry-leading producers, musicians, and managers, who prompted him to move back to Nashville. After spending some time in the music city, Jared realized just how unique of an area 30A Florida truly is, as it offers a place where he could make a much bigger name for himself while connecting with all the same executives from the Nashville area. After performing on Broadway in Nashville, as well as other downtown locations, Jared has just recently relocated to Blue Mountain Beach to continue his artistry in a greater way than ever before. Jared has drawn inspiration from John Mayer, Allen Stone, and Ed Sheehan over the years, but is now producing music that has it’s own pop-soul sound.

"You take the whole audience on a journey and that's what a performance is all about," said John Legend. “Many artists talk about how it feels when they connect with an audience, Jared knows only the joy of connectivity.”

From Episode 91, my takeaways and key points with Dr. Ryan Livingston. He's an inspiring example of how it is possible to overcome limiting beliefs and feelings of self-doubt. This key takeaway explains how spirituality and religious faith can be connected and positively impact our lives. For example, prayer is an act of faith, not just a way of asking for help, and hyperbaric oxygen is proven to help heal cancer patients. It also suggests to not take life for granted, and to make every second count. It is important to maintain a strong connection to source and an amazing support network, set intentions, engage in spiritual and religious activities, and cultivate relationships. Additionally, it is encouraged to adopt practices of other religions and embrace love, as nobody is incurable. Finally, Dr. Livingston and his organization Forged Medical can be reached out to, both through Instagram and the website forgemedical.com.

Back all the way from Episode 5, Dr. Ryan Livingston…transformer, healer, survivor…is back in the conversation. In this episode, we discuss how prayer can involve both asking for help and having faith, and how connections to others can help avoid darkness. Additionally, we outline the importance of finding a spiritual tribe, being disciplined and aware of one's self-worth, and understanding the importance of prayer. Lastly, we discuss The Crack that Heals platform and Forged Medical and ProHealth Place clinic, which offer primary care spine health, hyperbaric oxygen chambers, IV drips, and functional medicine/wellness services.

What an awesome conversation. I met Payne at a John Maxwell event. We share the passion of personal development and paying that forward in service to others. He's a Christian man, husband, father, former athlete, entrepreneur, and brother to many.

Payne is an Executive Coach and Corporate Facilitator. His passion is helping teams soar. He works with leaders to get team members in the right seat of the bus. Where they can use their giftings to help lift the team to unimaginable heights. Payne knows what it is like to be in the wrong seat of the bus. Regardless of how hard you work, feeling like you are letting the team down.

When you get the right people in the right seats you create a unique competitive advantage. Where more gets down with less, culture improves and individuals are more fulfilled by the work they get to do.

“As a leader, it’s natural to feel like we have to be good at everything, which is lie designed make us feel inadequate. Build a team whose skills compliment yours and the possibilities are endless.”

Back again for another fantastic conversation. So thankful to have this incredible leader back on the show! Clay was on back in Season 2, Episode 57 and shared his incredible story.

He was born with only one pectoral muscle, lacking the one in the right side of his chest. "It's a fairly major muscle in the chest. Everyone has their battles, it just happens that mine is quite visually obvious, so it’s talked about a little more. I don’t think of it as any more hindering than issues that other people in elite sport face though, whether that be mental or physical. We’re all fighting against something.”

What a profound statement from one of today’s top athletes. It speaks to the heart of the man on the inside. Clay Mason Stephens, born in Australia, is continuing his journey for an Olympic bid to represent his home country. Clay has been part of the NCAA Fighting Illini gymnastics squad and his now back in Australia training with his country team.

I met Derrick several moons ago when he was down in New Orleans. He was featured in the media for having a morning grew of sprinters that ran the Superdome ramps...having bear crawled those during a GoRuck Challenge, I can't imagine running up them over and over. But he did it anyway. And let many others in a health and fitness routine that impacted may lives. Fast-forward to today, Derrick is back to talk about a part of his journey I believe we can all connect with...the pandemic. During that time, he suffered some setbacks in health and fitness; and he reached a point where he chose to make a change. And he successfully did. It was an overnight transformation. It took time, patience, and perseverance to return to the spirit of the man he knew he could once again become. You can follow his story on Instagram: @Derrick_NoLa

Three years ago, my life as I knew it came crashing down due to a disc herniation in my lower back. I went from swimming, weight lifting, and running hours each day to not putting socks on without pain. Thousands of wasted dollars and chiro and PT appointments later, I crossed paths with Andrew on Instagram. He had overcome the SAME situation (a herniated disc and sciatica) despite being told by several” medical professionals” that he would never be able to do so. He was the beacon of light for me, and I have followed his teachings of movement ever since.

Since then, I’ve learned how to move with intention and awareness and am healthier and happier than ever. Today, I am highly passionate about my holistic health. I am continually learning movement and fitness through FRC, PRI, DNS, aerobic training, weightlifting, and gymnastics. Running and road biking are among my current top favorite sports. Laughing is my favorite hobby in the world.

I have obtained a Bachelor’s degree from USC in Industrial and Systems Engineering. After graduating, I had the opportunity to work in Sales, Operations, and Marketing for MoveU, where I met Shiloh and Katie.

The most rewarding result of my injury is that it ultimately led me to this team and professional path. It is my goal to enable you to live a better life because I know you can. I’ve been overweight, I’ve been in pain, I’ve been unhappy. We’ll show you the right steps to take, and you will never look back. Remember, it's not your fault...it's your responsibility.

Movement and activity has been a staple in my life since I can remember. Growing up in small town Delaware, team sports like baseball and soccer were always a top priority along with family and friends. In fact, my devotion to baseball led to a scholarship to play Division 1 baseball for Long Island University-Brooklyn Campus. While learning more and more about baseball and strength training, I also completed two degrees, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master's in Social Work. Through these experiences, I began to realize the importance of the connection between the mind and body.

My journey with CrossFit began in the Spring of 2012. After catching a rerun of the 2011 CrossFit Games, I was mesmerized, I needed to give it a shot. I knew that the older brother of a friend who I grew up playing baseball with had just opened a CrossFit gym. So I reached out and set up an intro session. My first workout was the Baseline WOD (500 meter row, 40 air squats, 30 sit ups, 20 push ups, 10 pull ups) and it left me sprawled on the floor for what felt like an eternity after finishing. It was a feeling that I had not experienced from a workout ever before, and I knew immediately that I was hooked. Going to classes several days a week became the norm, and I found myself constantly looking forward to my next visit to the box. CrossFit quickly became a huge part of my life, and I knew that I wanted that part to continue to grow.

After graduating from college with a degree in history, I acquired a personal training certification to make a little money while in grad school. I always saw this as the first step toward getting my Level 1 — I knew that I wanted to become a coach — but I wanted some experience under my belt first. I worked as a personal trainer for 2 years before finally attending my Level 1 certification.

Coaching became my passion immediately. Getting the chance to connect with people and affect change on a daily basis is an amazing feeling. Some of my closest friends and fondest memories have been made through CrossFit. I consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to call this my career. I can’t imagine doing anything else with my life.

Lee has never been one to take the typical path through life, but whatever he does, he does it full tilt. Whether it was playing hockey growing up, playing in bands in high school, studying music and business in college, or building and driving race cars; whatever he’s doing, you can bet he’s giving it everything he’s got.

His love of cars led to his first career in the auto-industry, where he gained hands on knowledge in the garage followed by almost a decade of experience in managing relationships. Specializing in helping small and medium sized businesses manage their fleets, Lee developed his common sense approach to problem solving. He also learned first-hand how rewarding it is to take a personal interest in his clients. On nights and weekends he and a small team of friends chased their passion for racing. Building and maintaining their own car, Werner Motorsports LLC and their “Spec Miata” compete on the highest level of amateur sports car racing in the country - the Sports Car Club of America Majors Tour.

Now as an ACCREDITED ASSET MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST ® Lee’s method is to focus first on people, and then help them find the right strategies. With his background outside of the financial industry, and by joining forces with his mother Marsha (a veteran CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER ® for over 25 years), the family team founded Turning Point Wealth Management at Raymond James. Together Lee and Marsha span a generation gap and a gender gap to bring a different perspective than many other wealth managers in the business. Using that unique perspective as their map, they guide clients through life’s craziness toward the financial turning points they strive for.

I graduated from the University of Cincinnati College of Pharmacy in 2013 and received a certification in health coaching from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2017. Six years ago, a two week experiment with fasting opened the gateway for my own personal wellness journey. Having struggled with insecurities about my own physical appearance and health issues nearly my entire life, I have made it my mission and purpose to help others become the agents of change in their life and feel more secure in who they are physically and mentally to escape the trap of self-comparison and bring more energy and joy into their lives. Specifically, my focus is on young professional dads who want to build an unbreakable foundation of health and fitness for life without hating the process. I empower men to create the habits and mindset needed to thrive as partners, parents and professionals.

I acquired my NCCA Personal Trainer Certificate and my NCCA Strength and Conditioning Certificate through The National Council on Strength and Fitness. My Coaching Philosophy is to influence my clients and athletes by holding them accountable, providing education, establishing a healthy lifestyle, committing to their goals and above all encourage positivity through fitness.

In 2012, my father and best friend passed away from colon cancer at 48 years old. The last lesson my father bestowed upon me before passing was that “your health is your wealth and without your health you have nothing.” There’s never been a more profound moment in my life, as it was there and then that I committed to redirect my life and take ownership of my health. I was overweight, hypertensive, prediabetic and depressed at the age of 25; today, I am a new person.

In the past eight years, I’ve obtained a Master’s degree using food as medicine, a plethora of fitness certifications, and held positions with industry leaders in fitness and corrective exercise, and nutrition education. I’ve personally tried almost every diet and fitness routine you can think of from vegan, IIFYM, Carnivore, 5 day water fasts and smoothie detoxes to bodybuilding, cross-fit and bodyweight bootcamps.

By personally knocking down every door out there as well as learning and working with thousands of people, I’ve found the recipe that allows us to combat the diseases of lifestyle (hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, etc.) and live to happy, healthy, and WHEALTHY! I couldn’t be more excited to be part of a one-in-a-million team and deliver an A to Z solution that empowers you to make lifelong sustainable changes to be your healthiest, most vibrant you!

Maverick is a former collegiate athlete, Army Ranger Veteran, and now a full-time online coach. He's been training/coaching others to reach their physical and mental potential for over a decade. Since going online, the results he's been able to get have multiplied exponentially, for now he is able to not only give people a truly customized blueprint for success, he can also be with them everywhere they go!

However, what he is now is the product of many years of challenges, trials, and tribulations. As a kid he was bullied and made fun of every day by kids who had more money, and were more physically developed than he was. This destroyed his self confidence for many, many years. Fitness was always his outlet, but even as he developed physically, he wasn't confident in himself on the inside.

He vowed that not only would he find more confidence within himself, but he would also help others with their mindset and self image. After growing up feeling like he was never good enough, he vowed to never let anyone else feel the same. His goal with every client is inner and outer change. Maverick believes we all have a light, and he can help anyone shine it brightly and vividly. He also introduces mindset practices that will turn people's life around. He is living proof!

**I want to start here not with who I am and what I do, but why I do it. Quality of life is one of the greatest values to me. I believe it should be to you as well. We all know the saying, “Rather one day as a lion than a lifetime as a sheep.” Right? But why not a lifetime as a lion?!

I believe that as long we are eager enough, we can achieve that. And that’s why I am here. I am Sil Visser, a health & vitality coach and body composition specialist with over 10 years of experience. As an international model working with many fitness brands, I have to be able to combine the high demands of physical achievements while being a vegan for my own personal and ethical motives. I advocate for drug free results. These results are longer-lasting and contribute to a healthy and balanced life. I excel at deadline diets with peak strategies, (vegan) ketogenic diets, high performance programs and body composition optimisation.

I am a motivated person, determined to get the best results not only for myself but also for the people with whom I work and support. My discipline is my strength.

Since a young age, I’ve been fascinated by human potential. To go beyond what I was capable of and achieve greater things. This first showed itself in the many trips to my local woods where I would begin my gradual increase in fitness to join the Armed Forces shortly after.

After 6 years in various reserve forces I developed a greater understanding of what it meant to build and maintain an inner world of strength and resilience. One that would soon reflect itself in the outer world in the form of success in fitness and helping others get their own goals.

It was these formative years of developing inner calm and grit that allowed me the capacity to lead from the front, and help others reach beyond where they are at; and reach their potential. To reflect back now, a lot of those years were met with self doubt and anxiety. Not quite knowing if I was on the right path or not.

But due to the current pandemic, a mindset that more of us need more than ever. That is, the mindset to go beyond our capabilities. Beyond our comfort zone. Because it is in facing discomfort, we begin to achieve a life worth living and begin to see progress. A life, in which we begin to feel ‘Alive’.

And that’s worth living.

Trouble maker turned entrepreneur. I grew up in a small town in Central Texas. Early in life, I was a good kid who made straight As & Bs and attended church on a regular basis. However, as I graduated high school and had a child at an early age, I allowed my emotions and lack of better judgement to steer me in the wrong direction. After several years of doing drugs, going to jail a handful of times, and almost killing myself (from poor choices), I decided it was time for a change and began my path on self-improvement. I was blessed enough to find a mentor just when I needed one. From there, I would make several failed attempts to start my own business as I continued to improve myself as a person. Eventually opening a bar on 6th street was my first semi-successful endeavor. Shortly after, I found myself wholesaling real estate. I started my real estate career in his early 20’s buying and selling real estate notes. This would be the foundation that would help me start, what is now, a successful real estate business. Now, my brother (who is also my business partner) and I diligently work to improve the efficiency of our business and adapt to the ever changing marketplace. I enjoy traveling with my wife, spending time with our dog Hurley, and hanging out with friends and family. It's my passion to share the principles I've learned in the past 15 years as I've relentlessly pursued becoming the best version of myself that I could possibly be.

PS. I'm addicted to fitness.

Maverick is a former collegiate athlete, Army Ranger Veteran, and now a full-time online coach. He's been training/coaching others to reach their physical and mental potential for over a decade. Since going online, the results he's been able to get have multiplied exponentially, for now he is able to not only give people a truly customized blueprint for success, he can also be with them everywhere they go!

However, what he is now is the product of many years of challenges, trials, and tribulations. As a kid he was bullied and made fun of every day by kids who had more money, and were more physically developed than he was. This destroyed his self confidence for many, many years. Fitness was always his outlet, but even as he developed physically, he wasn't confident in himself on the inside.

He vowed that not only would he find more confidence within himself, but he would also help others with their mindset and self image. After growing up feeling like he was never good enough, he vowed to never let anyone else feel the same. His goal with every client is inner and outer change. Maverick believes we all have a light, and he can help anyone shine it brightly and vividly. He also introduces mindset practices that will turn people's life around. He is living proof!
