When it comes to fitness, many people think of high-impact workouts, heavy weights, and endless cardio. But what if there was a different way to move your body — one that focused on functional movement, longevity, and strengthening muscles you didn't even know you had? That's exactly what Pvolve offers, and Mandi and Amani had the pleasure of chatting with two powerhouse women behind Pvolve San Diego: Kirstin Keohane, the franchise owner, and Sarah Koenig, the director of operations. In this episode of Adventures in Business, Kirsten and Sarah share what makes Pvolve unique, how they found their way to Pvolve, and what they're doing now to grow their franchise. 🔗 Sign up to take a Pvolve Intro Class and follow Pvolve San Diego on Instagram 🔗 Click here to check out the show notes for this episode!

Many say this is the podcast that started it all. In fact, a survey of Serial newsletter subscribers revealed that for almost a quarter, Serial was the first podcast they'd ever listened to! Furthermore, with the conviction of Adnan Syed recently overturned as a result of Sarah and her team's work in Season 1, Serial has cemented its place in podcasting history. However, as odd as it sounds, can too much success lead to your downfall? This week Mike and Eric discuss these things and more in our review of Serial. A podcast from the creators of This American Life, Serial is hosted by Sarah Koenig and tells a single true story over the course of a season. Typically grouped within the true-crime genre, Season 1 investigated the 1999 killing of a Baltimore teenager, Season 2 examined the story of an American Army soldier held for 5 years by the Taliban and Season 3 was an analysis of the American criminal justice system reflected over a year at the Justice Center Complex in Cleveland, Ohio. On No Harm In Asking, hosts Eric Byron and Michael Kerr are on a journey to gather insights into why podcasts succeed or fail and to explore the myriad of different patterns, structures, topics, techniques, and personalities that have evolved this industry. Through our podcast, we hope to inspire and encourage the next generation of storytellers and visionaries. Mike and Eric listened to Season 3 of Serial.

Heather and Sabine introduce us to Sarah Koenig who is a performance expert with more than 20 years of experience in building systems and execution that drive performance growth. She is the founder of Optimize Advisory where she serves as a remote fractional COO and a positive intelligence coach. In the first part of the episode, Sarah gives us information about what positive intelligence is. She also gives us an overview of the steps needed to be accomplished in order to achieve your full potential when participating with the positive intelligence system. She also talks about the different saboteurs which are negative thoughts that hinders us to fully function with a positive mindset. In the second part of the episode, Sarah introduces us to an exercise called “PQ Reps” which helps the brain build up new muscles that eventually release endorphins that counter stress related hormones. Sarah and Heather also do a little role-playing which shows how Sarah handles her clients when going through the positive intelligence system. Episode Highlights: 1:59 Positive Intelligence is a simple three-step operating system that allows us to manage the negative thoughts that get in our way. 5:47 People feel anxious because they know what they should be doing. They know that they aren’t on top of it. And that delay often creates more unpleasantness until that thing you’ve been avoiding becomes unavoidable. 10:21 We want to command our brains to leverage its sage portions, which are the mid prefrontal cortex, the empathy circuitry and more right brained parts which motivate you through positive emotions. 14:23 You realize that in that moment, it takes as little as 10 seconds of PQ Reps to activate a shift within your brain. 15:47 It's amazing because as your day gets busy, you don't even realize just how much you hold tension in your body, how breathing becomes more shallow, and how business builds up in your day, taking a small break like that can really anchor you and change the course of the rest of your day. 16:54 The most impactful part of positive intelligence, because most development stops here, is that positive intelligence gives you a roadmap to move forward directly toward your goals. 27:06 But ultimately, it's important to remember that as humans, your mental mindset will fluctuate. And our minds have that possibility of serving us more than they hinder us if we're in that positive zone. Contact information: Heather Price Consulting
