On This episode we speak to Ren Brennan, who is a fitness instructor and personal trainer based in the South Lakes. 

Ten says "I spent many years teaching sports and ensuring people, particularly children, have fundamental movements (balance, agility and coordination) to be able to live and enjoy an active life. I moved to the Lake District 20 years ago to fulfil my passion of being able to live an active healthy lifestyle in the outdoors.Being active has shaped who I am from an early age. It has made me determined and has given me so many opportunities and a real sense of belonging and identity. While I’ve always been above average at sport, I was never “brilliant”, and have had to work hard at it to be in the position I am today. This has given me a tremendous amount of empathy which shows in my coaching and training of others.

I am a competing GB triathlete and the European Champion for my age group for the off-road triathlon. I was absolutely thrilled to be named in the top 100 women in cycling this year.

I’m passionate about helping others to be healthy, happy and to meet their fitness goals. I want to inspire others, of all abilities, to want to lead a healthy, active lifestyle and to be the best version of themselves that they can be. I love helping people, creating personalised plans and sessions and seeing people improve, be it their fitness, mental health or confidence. I like to get to know my clients, and ensure I adapt sessions to suit them, whether that be the level of difficulty or fitting round their busy lifestyle.

I love nothing more than being out in nature and the Lake District is truly the most beautiful place to be able to do this. If you’d like to have a chat to see if we’d be a good fit for personal training, you want to join one of my classes or book in for mountain bike tuition or guiding, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me.

June 2022
ITU 2022 Targu Mures Cross Triathlon World Championships.

This race and the result have not sunk in yet . I only ever dreamed of achieving Gold. 

It’s even more meaningful this year as my goal was to just get to start line with no expectations . A foot injury sustained in December and reoccurring in February and  still being managed has meant very little running and only since April.

The bike course was pretty hard and brutal with 1000 m climbing in 27 km but this was in my favour . It was a fun physically demanding course . The run course was tough physically so I hoped it was more about who could hang on in as opposed to fastest runner.

I couldn’t achieve any of this without the help of many folk . Thank you to Doug Hall, Coley Nicole Yvette Walters, Keswick Bikes, GLL sports foundation and Ulverston Tri Club"

Are You Okay?

In this episode, James Jones talks with Lynn McKoy about the importance of being real about mental health, and how she faced her mental health head on! She hopes that by having honest conversations about mental health, silent sufferers will seek help and no longer feel alone. 

A Washington, DC native, Lynn lives now in Durham, NC. She’s a mother, wife, sister, and friend, who has worked in the behavioral healthcare field for 19 years. She is the Director of Corporate Compliance for a managed care organization for publicly funded behavioral health care services.

Lynn shares her personal experiences with her mental health - the good and the ugly - in the hope that having honest conversations about mental health and the stigmas that have formed around it will reduce those stigmas. She, herself, was once a silent sufferer until three simple words forever changed her life: Are you okay?

He founded Velazquez Media Consulting to help transitioning service members and military spouses learn to use digital networking to reach their employment goals. Jose is a featured writer, and speaker, and also hosts a nationally syndicated radio program.

How I Fired My Boss

Robyn Grable, the CEO of Talents ASCEND, is James’ guest for this episode. Robyn developed a skills-based hiring process that is proactive, intentional and inclusive for veterans, and the disability and justice-involved communities. 

She is also the Founder of The ASCEND Collective: Veterans ASCEND, Ability ASCEND, Mission 2 ASCEND, the nonprofit arm of her company. Robyn is a proud Navy veteran, and worked in the corporate sector before founding her company.

James and Robyn discuss the challenges she faced after leaving the Navy. In her first 12 years in the civilian sector, she worked for 10 different companies. Robyn realized her employers didn’t understand the skills she brought to them, and thus didn’t challenge her to use them. And, she learned about the hiring process - and decided it was time to change it for the better.

In Sickness and In Health

When you’ve been told that there is nothing more the doctors can do for you, you have two choices: to live as if you’re going to die or to live like you’ve got a future.

Trent Brock is a three-time cancer survivor. In his words, “I was an IT dude by trade, but I started a kettle corn business with a guy that I met in the boxing gym randomly. They did not have kettle corn in New Zealand. I figured it would work, and boy was I right!”

The Only Constant In Life Is Change

Heraclitus (544 BC - 483 BC) is credited with saying, “There is nothing permanent except change.” The trouble with this statement is that, in general, human beings are resistant to change. We’d prefer almost anything else happening to us than having to make a change.

Kevin Dunlap is the founder and lead trainer of the Optimal Performance Academy, a platform and academy for entrepreneurs who want to grow their businesses and create an impactful online presence. 

In this episode, James and Kevin talk about identifying how and where we can successfully navigate change in our lives.

Riding Out the Storm

When it rains, it sometimes pours … and then, sometimes it storms. This happens to us in our lives as well. We’ll be dealing with one challenge, and then another comes along … and, then a crisis will pile on top of the stuff we’re already dealing with.

In 2017, author, speaker, and comedian Michael Cheshire wrote, “Life's most brutal storms leave us completely weak once they move on. But in the years that follow, we find they actually remade us incredibly strong. You may always hate your storm... But you'll forever owe it for what it made you into.”

In this episode, Michael, author of Conversation With My Storms, shares with James about losing his company and his marriage, and what he’s been doing to build himself back to having the life he wants.

You Don’t Have To Be Sick To Get Better

Over the course of their careers, professional athletes spend thousands of hours practicing their sports. On top of that, they spend significant time working on their mindset. It’s because there are times when their mindset will carry them through to success more than their ability or talent.

DJ Eidson, the co-founder and President of Limitless Minds, works with ordinary people sharing with them the same mindset concepts and training that elite athletes use so they can also have a competitive advantage. 

In this episode, James and DJ discuss the importance of mindset in our everyday lives.
