4. The Musical Genius of Green Bean Part 2: Making Time for Yourself Against Competing Priorities – Mike 2

Oh boy, what a part 2 of a podcast we have for you today! If you don’t get the ‘It is Wednesday my dudes’ meme then look it up on YouTube and look up the remixes. They are pretty funny. I probably should have explained that joke better, sorry about that!
I'm incredibly proud of Mike for all that he's been able to accomplish, especially after the rough go with 2020 and the ending of Fat Stanley. I am in awe and inspired by his progress and the accomplishments he's made.
Be sure to follow him on Instagram!

Tell me about your goals! Are you making progress? I hope so!

This week on the podcast we have the multi-instrumentalist and musical genius Green Bean (@GreenBeanMusic) also known as Mike. He and I have a great conversation about how he got started with music and the steps it took to get him to where he is today.
We sort of wrap up quickly at the end there. Sorry about that!

2. Meta Talk About the Podcast - Brian

Oh snap! Episode 2 is done! How about that? Two weeks going strong!!
I think I undersold this episode in the beginning, because listening back, I actually really enjoyed it! It’s clearly not as high of quality as I would prefer, but I suspect it will be a good place to look back at in a couple years to see how far we’ve come.
Something I mention in this podcast is The Accountability Group (TAG). It’s a work out group chat I started with my friends (you will meet all of them eventually, I’m sure). It’s essentially a group chat where we talk about our goals for fitness and health. It’s had such a monumental effect on my fitness journey.
I was already working out and running semi-consistently, but I wasn’t dedicated like I wanted to be. Brian and I started talking and I mentioned I was thinking of starting a group chat where we could hold each other accountable to our fitness goals. He gave me the motivation and encouragement to start the group chat.
We didn’t really dive into the specifics of TAG, but I think it would be worth a dedicated podcast to. Maybe in the new year I’ll organize a little group podcast with the TAG members. I bet it would be a lot of fun.
If you don’t have a work out group you should try to find one! Or start working out on your own, that’s even better!!
Oh! I did get my 10 miles in this week btw. I also cracked the story on my new screenplay and am going to finish the outline and start the first draft here shortly.
Okay! That’s about it from me.
What are your goals for this week? What are your goals for this year? What are you working toward?!

1. Welcome to the Podcast - Chase

The Improve Podcast Episode 1 – Welcome to the Podcast – Chase
Woah! What a podcast this was. Episode 1 is in the books! How did I do? Do you think it makes sense? I hope so!
With this episode my goal was to give you all the background and motivation behind starting this podcast. As Simon Sinek would say I ‘started with why’ – I wasn’t thinking about that when I recorded this but looking back that is definitely what I was trying to do.
Am I the only person who has noticed that The Improve Podcast as an acronym would be TIP? I thought about the naming convention for episodes being ‘TIP 1. Welcome to the Podcast – Chase’ but I think that would be a lot and maybe a little cheesy. Who knows, maybe I’ll still do it. I guess it’s better than just ‘1. Welcome to the Podcast – Chase’ … actually, I think writing this out has convinced me to use the former. Actually maybe not lol, who knows. You do! What does the title say? Leave a comment! Did I make the right choice? Tell me!!
Anyways…
What are your goals for this week? What are your goals for this year? What are you working toward?!
Tell me in the comments or DM me on Instagram!
