“It’s Personal not Personnel” | Retired Army Colonel Rob Campbell HGP#39

Most Americans Live to Work whereas most Europeans Work to Live. Are you someone who loves their job and feels rewarded? According to the 2017 Gallup Poll, 70% of employees in today’s workforce are not engaged at work, meaning they are not psychologically committed to their jobs, happy in the workplace and likely to be making positive contributions to their organizations. Chances are, you are or at some point will be part of the 70% of employees who are disengaged at work, drawing a paycheck and going home. Or maybe part of the 51% of employees actively looking for another job. If you are an avid listener of this podcast you have met plenty of people who genuinely love what they do for work and feel fulfilled doing it.

What do people really desire in order to be happy? The answer will obviously vary from person to person. Rob researched Desires of People, specifically soldiers and employees. He found everyone has value and potential. As a brigade leader he was charged with preparing men and women for combat and remembered what they desired to be at their very best. Rob had more than 70 subordinate organizational leaders serving under him in his two-year tenure in brigade command, each with different desires. Rob’s personal study resulted in a short desires collection or “List of Six” that he uses as a vehicle dashboard to examine his own organization and people, and offers them as a way for you to implement them in your own ogranization. The List of Six are: Fulfillment, Autonomy, Praise & Recognition, Safety, Discipline, and Growth.

In this podcast we break down a few of the desires on the List of Six and discuss how you can start applying them, build better relationships, and create better leaders in your own organization. We also discuss how to attract and keep employees who subscribe to company values and culture.

After serving 27 years in the Army, Colonel Rob Campbell retired to the North Carolina coast and wrote a book called, It’s Personal not Personnel. This book was inspired by his position in the Army and he applies leadership principles from his brigade experiences by taking a more personal approach in the workplace. Rob uses a people centric approach in helping organizations and businesses invest in their people, achieve better results and attract happier employees.

Dry Needling | Change the Game Physical Therapy: Ryan Godfrey HGP#38

Many people think of physical therapy, or PT, as “rehab”, or something you need after surgery or an injury. There are many misconceptions when it comes to PT like you need a referral to see a physical therapist, or it’s only appropriate for people who have had surgery or seriously injured themselves, or physical therapy is only exercise based. I admit, before meeting Ryan I had the misconception that physical therapy doesn’t work because it hadn’t worked for me in the past. 

Ryan Godfrey with Change the Game Physical Therapy is literally changing the game when it comes to managing pain, healing injuries, and getting people back to doing what they love. Ryan believes PT empowers individuals to take a pro-active approach to their health. He also believes Physical Therapists should be seen as the experts in musculoskeletal health, providing clients with a holistic alternative to medications, injections and surgery. Physical Therapists can also educate clients on the importance of lifestyle modifications, like nutrition, exercise, and sleep, to aid in rehab and athletic performance.

It is clear when listening to this interview that Ryan truly loves what he does but that wasn’t always the case. Ryan was working in a traditional clinic setting where his job was to see as many patients as possible in a day. However, Ryan wanted to work with patients on a deeper level, and have one on one time with each individual client. He wanted an opportunity to educate them on their injury, have adequate time for treatment and educate them on home exercises and lifestyle modifications to help them heal long term. In the traditional clinic setting, Ryan’s focus was on quantity of patients not quality. His job was to document and move on. The clinic didn’t care about quality as long as volume was high. Ryan had no real motivation to increase his productivity nor did he receive any praise or recognition for his work. The effort level to get clients better was low because there wasn’t enough time to spend with each person. Ultimately led him feeling that he wasn’t helping people improve in timely manner and he wasn’t able to follow his passion which is to get them back to the activity or sport they were doing before.

As an athlete I recently found myself dealing with a chronic issue that no amount of band-aid fixes could help. I had tried it all: massage, cupping, topicals, foam rolling, stretches, chiropractic care; all to no avail. I thought this was something I was going to have to “deal” with the rest of my life. I had heard about dry needling through my CrossFit Coach, Marissa, and I admit when I first heard the word needle, I was apprehensive. After doing research and talking to my extremely knowledgeable chiropractor, Dr. Dave Russ, I finally made the appointment to see Ryan. And I’m so glad I did.

Listen to this podcast to hear my story of healing, my journey of how I got better, and how Ryan’s journey has changed from unhappy employee to happy entrepreneur.

Baseball Parents: Is Your Kid Good Enough? | Casey Clary HGP#37

Nowadays parents are clamoring to put their kids in the best sports programs, like travel baseball. Travel baseball is part of an $8 billion industry known as travel youth sports, where you have to pay to play. Youth sports has become a money making machine and it’s no surprise there has been an 8% drop in the last decade on the number of kids who play competitive sports because of the increased costs. Rec leagues are dwindling and in it’s place professional grade fields are being built so kids can play more competitively. 

Clary Baseball started in 2010 and offers player development baseball instruction and parent consultations. Casey Clary works with baseball players (and their parents) between the ages of 10 and 18 who are looking to get better and improve their skills. The sport of Baseball is always changing and in order to keep up with the competition players have to work on their skills, like footwork, hand eye coordination, and strength + conditioning. Casey found that through his 9 years of working with parents the question he was asked most often was, “is my kid good enough?” This question thrusted Casey on a journey to give parents as much information as possible about the world of baseball through his book: Baseball Parents: Is your kid good enough?

Casey’s love for baseball started at age 5 and he played all the way through high school. After his senior year he received a scholarship to a division 2 college, in a small town in North Carolina. After his college senior year he signed as a free agent with a Minor League team out of Canada, called the Winnipeg Goldeyes. He went on to play 4 more years signing with 3 other teams.

Casey doesn’t have many regrets, other than not staying back on the slider. He says, “the minor leagues are a lot of fun but they are also painful. It’s a cut-throat industry and everyone is a “sprained ankle” away from getting released. There are long bus rides and long flights that leave at 5:30 in the morning!” He didn’t make a million bucks but he got paid to play baseball! He says he learned a lot and he learned to listen!  Casey’s rookie year of pro-ball was the most challenging. He was good in college and everyone is good in the pros! He had to make adjustments and make them quick. He had to retain information and adapt daily. He loved it!

Casey is passionate about baseball and wants to share that passion with others. He wants to help other kids succeed and follow their dreams and he wants to help the parents understand what it takes to get their kids there. Casey says, “if there’s anything I can’t over teach it’s work ethicIf you want to get paid to play this game, you have to work at it. DAILY!”

Physician Selected CBD Hemp Oil | Dr. Pete Gemelli HGP#36

CBD, also known as hemp oil, is a hot topic right now and often comes with a negative stigma. This episode is here to give you all you need and want to know about CBD. CBD is a compound of the hemp plant that has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, neuro-protectant qualities, and healing properties.

My guest this week is Dr. Pete Gemelli, a Physiatrist who works with pain patients who deal with chronic and acute pain. Due to the rise of opioid overuse and abuse, Dr. Gemelli wanted something that wasn’t a narcotic that he could prescribe to pain patients. Dr. Gemelli set out on a mission to find an alternative and after months of research he decided to consider CBD as an alternative.

One of the first challenges he faced was finding a product that was clean and pure where he knew what was in it. Ultimately this led him to create Physician Selected: a broad spectrum, high quality hemp oil that contains very minimal THC, offering users the peace of mind of a safe product that isn’t harmful.

In this podcast episode we:

  • Break down the common misconceptions of CBD products
  • Share how CBD is different from THC/Marijuana.

We learn:

  • Why Dr. Gemelli created his own product and started prescribing it to his patients.
  • How his product is made, or the extraction and filtering process.
  • How it’s different from other products on the market.
  • Is cannabis medicine safe?
  • Proper dosage (because let’s face it, that’s really important when you’re taking a new product).
  • Health benefits.

If you are interested in learning more about CBD, hemp oil, and CBD products, then this the podcast episode for you! Be sure to listen out for a special coupon code for Hourglass listeners to get a discount off your first order.

Flow Movement | Fitness Model, Athlete and Pole Fitness Champion: Marlo Fisken HGP#35

I recently met up with fitness guru, Marlo Fisken, at Pole Expo in Las Vegas. She was gracious enough to share an hour of her time chatting with me about her company, Flow Movement, which is more than just a brand; it’s a lifestyle. Flow movement includes apparel line, Floor Flow tutorials and teacher training, pole work, Flowbility, and events + workshops that bring in guest teachers.

You may be wondering, what the heck is Flow? When we talk about Flow, we mean the exciting feeling of being in the zone. Flow is defined as an “optimal state of consciousness where we feel our best and perform our best.” Experts say only 5% of workers spend their time in a blissful, high-productivity work state. Imagine the impacts on your performance and mood if you could increase your work flow!

Flow doesn’t just heighten creativity in the moment, it heightens it over the long haul. In other words, being in flow actually trains us to be more creative. Marlo gushes on the importance movement has on our bodies. Movement is more than just moving our bodies; it encompasses the clothing we wear, the shoes on our feet, and the furniture we sit on.

Marlo’s goal is to help us into the environments we create for ourselves and think about what’s valued when it comes to movement. She would like to see more things that create movement. Think movement zones, interactive exhibits; things that get people to step outside of the sedentary lifestyle, off their phones, and moving.

Marlo has been dancing going on 30 years. She started competing in the sport of pole dancing in 2009 and has won 3 different titles:

She is most known for her creativity on the pole; creating moves that people have never seen before. Marlo travels seven months out of the year and currently resides in Boulder, Colorado, which she dubs a “movement bubble.”
