Going After What Really Matters to You With Rene Wiley

The whole reason I started my podcast was because I recognized I was hiding my gifts. 

The main reason: 

I was afraid of rejection and ridicule. 

Instead of putting myself out there and potentially getting ridiculous - I just hide my voice. 

On New Years Day 2016, I envisioned where my life would end up if I were to continue down this path. 

I realized that if I continued hiding - I would end up with a life of regret. 

Worse - it would be a wasted life. 

I wasn’t about to let that happen. 

And so I made 2016 my ‘Year of Expression.’

I vowed to record and put out a 3-minute video, every Thursday, no matter how terrible I thought it was. 

The result was a year of epic growth, adventure, and the foundation for everything I’ve done since. 

I am guessing many people can relate to this. 

That feeling of wanting to hide so you can avoid rejection. 

And yet...knowing you can’t live your life that way.

If you resonate with this then this week’s episode is for you. 

It is a replay of my conversation with the legendary Rene Wiley. 

Rene is one of my favorite people because he has this unique ability to get you to connect with your body, your spirit, and your passion. 

This interview offers a powerful insight into that magic. Rene shares with us his origin story on how he went from a DJ to a high-performance fitness trainer. 

Rene also speaks on the importance of listening to your heart and the courage it takes to do that. 

Plus - we take up the science of creating the best workout playlist! 

You’re going to really love this one!

I’m telling you, this interview is fire!

Vulnerability, Manhood and Authenticity with Orlando Deral Wilson

This episode is one of the most powerful stories of the year and listening to this incredible story is a great way for you to wrap up 2019. This week I talked with Orlando Deral Wilson, who shared his extraordinary story of experiencing homelessness and living in his car and his journey of how he created stability in his life as well as in his mind and in his heart. 

He opens up about how he discovered that his experience of rejection had been influencing his decisions and how he was able to transform his reality through becoming vulnerable. We talked about the impact that being vulnerable can have on those around us, and how we can draw positive changes into our lives through opening our hearts.

Fueled by a passion to help others, Orlando began his fitness journey as a form of self-help after he found himself homeless. He had started going to the gym daily – originally only to shower – but slowly used exercise to overcome feelings of helplessness and convert them to feelings of empowerment. As he became stronger physically, he became stronger mentally and shared videos of his journey on social media and built a following of many who were inspired by his story.

Orlando discovered his love for cycling which made an enormous impact on him from both a mind and body perspective. Always focused on growth and knowledge, he quickly moved beyond student to pursuing his own certifications as a fitness trainer and cycling coach. This new career path clearly was Orlando’s calling and he become Certified Fitness Trainer  and earned cycling certifications from Schwinn, Spinning / MadDogg and Stages.

Throughout Los Angeles, Orlando has emerged as one of the most sought-after Cycling coaches, Personal Trainers and Wellness experts. He has built a loyal following based on his ability to connect with students and help them achieve and exceed their potential both physically and mentally.

I recommend this episode to anyone who has experienced serious challenges who would like to learn how to grow through the challenge by looking within and harnessing the power of transformation. Please share this episode with any men who you think can benefit from being part of the conversation that I have with Orlando about vulnerability and opening up our hearts to create a positive change in our lives. 

You can connect with Orlando on Instagram; and as personal trainer and cycling coach at Equinox Clubs and elite studios throughout the Los Angeles area.
