Episode 78: From Flunking Community College to Multi-6 Figure Coaching Company with Zakk Colburn!

While I haven't met this individual in real life yet, we've been virtual friends for awhile and I think you'll agree after listening to this episode that Zakk has an incredible story. Formal education was never Zakk's strong suit as he will admit and had trouble focusing. So much so that he was kicked out of college due to academics, not even put on probation. He had to figure it out at that point and while he dealt with a lot of adversity, he ultimately found success and at a young age. I won't spoil any of his story but it's definitely one I believe you'll enjoy and please share it with someone else if you did enjoy it! Time Stamps: (0:12) Please Follow Us and Share!

Episode 76: Building Trust and Results through Authenticity and Effort with @Brooklynhillfit!

My guest today and I's stories are very similar and this woman who you may know already has had tremendous success in the online fitness space at an early age. What we teased out of Brooklyn Hillenbrand, CEO of Brooklynhillfit, in this episode is the authentic way she went about building her following through sharing what she learned and never compromising her ethics for a sponsorship she didn't fully align with for example or share anything she didn't do herself first.

Episode 74: Carter Good & The Masculine in Relationships!

A frequent guest, good friend, a Vikings fan (do with that information what you will) Carter Good is back on the show and we are talking all things… emotions. Specifically, how to handle emotional situations within a relationship. We both read the book, " The Masculine in Relationships" by G.S. Youngblood and both absolutely resonated with it.

Episode 71: From X-Games Glory to Life After Sports with Jen Hudak!

If you were an athlete in the past or present, this episode will resonate deeply with you (still listen if you aren't though!).

My guest today has an athletic resume that rivals most being a 2 time world champion, 4 time X-Games champion, 4 time national champion, and ESPY nominee. However, the Olympics alluded her and she explains very vulnerability how that still haunts her to this day. Jen Hudak joins us today on the podcast to discuss her athletic journey, the importance of coaching and seeing things from a different perspective, and what she is doing now with the creation and growth of Escapod.

At a certain point in life, you'll come face to face with a decision that will take you down one of two roads. The first road requires no grit, determination, or resilience.

Episode 53: Coming Back STRONGER From Injuries and the Power of Meditation with Pat Estes!

Sustaining and rehabbing an injury can be one of the toughest mountains for athletes or anyone to climb. We see it all the time from Alex Smith to Dak Prescott to Klay Thompson. There is a hidden journey of finding out how resilient you and in that lies the silver lining. If you have a great coach behind you during your rehab process like the one we have on today's show, you might come back even STRONGER just like Alex Smith's story. Today's guest is Pat Estes of Evolve Health and Performance in Austin and Pat helped Dala with her injury and allowed her to come back stronger as you'll hear in the episode. We also get a little nerdy talking about bioenergetics.

Our inner mini-me is dying to come out and show people who we truly are on the inside. However, we've been stifled by society, social media, and pressure to conform and "blend into the crowd". While being ostracized from the herd was once considered an evolutionary death sentence, most of us are lucky enough not to worry about day to day survival anymore and we've now put our focus on self-actualization. Our good friend and coach Sirena Abalian is here today to discuss this very topic! We discuss her early days as an actress and what she learned from performing on stage. We get very real and discuss the times she experienced panic attacks and now how she coaches her clients through those same attacks (and you can use these strategies as well!). Finally, we discuss Sirena's coaching and the value of mentorship and you know that's key here at Shots to the Dome and DLD Nation!

Episode 49: Deconstructing the Male Ego and How to Effectively Communicate Our Emotions with Scott Holliday!

Men, it's time we have the conversation you've been avoiding. The one about your ego. More specifically, why your ego is holding you back from having a successful career, a thriving relationship, and quality friendships with people who actually matter to you. My good friend Scott Holliday joins us today to talk about his struggles overcoming his ego and his journey of learning to communicate his thoughts and emotions more clearly and effectively. If you know Scott, you know this guy is huge. I (Sean) am 6'2 215 and Scott puts me to shame. Scott's natural skill for bodybuilding became a blessing and a curse in his life and it wasn't until recently that he started to address his communication issues, primarily due to his girlfriend Megan Davis, who you all are very familiar with by now! Scott's determination to have a thriving relationship with Megan led him down a path where he reached out for coaching, did the hard internal work addressing his past, and has come out on the other side a better man, friend, and boyfriend. Whether you are a man or have a special man in your life you want the best for, this episode is an absolute eye opener when it comes to the male ego, how men typically display and communicate emotions, and the detriment those actions lead to if action isn't taken like Scott wisely did.

Are you letting events in your past hold you back from thriving now and in the future? Have you grounded yourself in an identity you no longer have and feel frustrated and confused about who you are? Today, my guest is Carolina Araujo, an IFBB Pro Bikini Athlete (our first bodybuilder on the show), fitness coach, and member of NLCA (shoutout to my beautiful wife Dala and our friend Chad). Not long ago, Carolina played European handball and when that part of her life was over, she still had that athletic identity. Now, she was able to transition what she learned during those days and apply them to bodybuilding competitions and even her business. Just goes to show that every part of your life plays a role in who you ultimately become. Carolina and I have a very genuine back and forth discussion on our shared athlete past and how we handle adversity in our lives.

If you are utterly exhausted by the amount of "positivity" talk when it comes to mental health and you actually want to incorporate ACTIONABLE techniques in your life that will work, this is the episode for you. Lauren Ashley from the Let's F*****g Talk Podcast is here today to discuss mental health from probably the most pragmatic standpoint I've ever heard. She does a fantastic job of not only debunking the typical "just be grateful" or "positivity" talk while simultaneously giving us quick techniques we can ACTUALLY use in our daily lives, all while making us laugh through the whole ride. Lauren speaks from experience because not only has she studied these techniques but she has been in and out of therapy since she was 12 with good and bad stories to share.

Episode 42: Habits and Strategies for Crushing Every Area of Your Life with Taylor Lakin!

We are heading into a brand new year squad and while setting New Year's resolutions is normal and exciting, we want you to think practically about how to achieve those goals once you set them. Often times, what creates a successful transformation or a goal achieved is not a burning hot desire or motivation because we know that often dies down and look no further than gyms (if they are open in your area) in January versus February. We want you to achieve your goals here. That's why it's important to install habits and strategies in your life that will aid the pursuit of your goal and break or get rid of habits that are no longer going to serve this new version of you. Our guest today is perfect for this topic. Our guest and our friend Taylor Lakin is an online fitness coach, podcaster, wife, mom, hula-hooper, avid EDM festival fan (I could go on) but she is undoubtedly a #BossBabe but it's how she got here and continues to elevate herself that's most impressive. She actively envisions her future self, thinks about how she would act, talk, and relate to others, and then goes and does the things that are in alignment with that future Taylor. If you want an inspiring and practical start to your 2021, look no further than this episode.
