Tuesday Apr 18, 2023
Tuesday Apr 18, 2023
Consistency. It’s everything to produce results you desire. It doesn’t matter if it’s a scuba expedition, training for a 50 mile ultra run, or in the workplace. Consistency is the most important thing to get you from point “A” to point “B”.
In this episode I share what happens when things are not consistent. Inconsistent long runs. Inconsistent scuba training. Inconsistent HR administration. All of them can cost you something. Listen in so you can be a better HR manager or employer to minimize risk of having issues with the Department of Labor.

This episode is Part 2 of the Interview with David Greenwalt. David takes us to the workplace and how it takes a Village to make a wellness program work. Do not replace what you have, but enhance it for better outcomes. These strategies will produce better results for the employees, making them more productive for the company.
Executives want to lead their people. They cannot lead to the best of their ability without changing their priorities. Nutrition and exercise does not have to be number 1, but at least number 3, and you will achieve great results for yourself and the people around you. Your success will help your employees do more for themselves and the company.
Lose the weight one more time, for the last time.
Please visit David Greenwalt on LinkedIn, or visit LLUniversity.com for more information.

Thursday Apr 13, 2023
Thursday Apr 13, 2023
We live in a world of constant demands. Where do we get our "why power" to make better decisions? Many of us overconsume ultra-processed foods to the point that it becomes addictive without even knowing. The new normal in America is soon to be obesity. Do you want to be "Normal"?
David walks us through how we got to the dilemma we have had with nutrition and exercise over the years. With nearly 43% of the US being obese, how do we make the right changes for the last time?
This episode discusses foods, your "why power," intermittent fasting, and protein! The conversation was so good that we had to make two parts out of the interview!

Want different outcomes? Change who you associate with. New ideas don’t come from old sources. Employees feel no loyalty from their company. In fact, more employers are sticking it than with higher costs. At the same time tell the employees they are valued.
