Jenn Johnson has been an ER nurse in Canada for many years. Through those years, she was bullied and had to leave jobs because the toxic people she was working with were never dealt with, so she decided to move on. Full podcast link: https://bit.ly/JennJohnsonPodcast Jenn takes us through three different times she was bullied and how she dealt with each one based on her past experiences and how she grew every time it happened. With all of her experience at the bedside, she also realized that she could use her intuition, that gut feeling we all get sometimes, to get her patients the care they need much more quickly than if she waited for lab and diagnostic tests to come back. Her colleagues respect her as she uses her intuition to quickly communicate with others to get patients treated before they become even worse off. Jenn is waiting for her book, Nursing Intuition, to be published this fall. In the book, she will discuss the science behind using intuition and how she incorporates it into her patient care. Jenn has a wealth of information to share, and I cannot wait to read her book when it comes out. You can find Jenn at www.rforgrowth.com

Alex’s journey to becoming a comedian is anything but traditional. At just 18, he earned a certificate in pulp and paper technology and began working in a local pulp mill.

He left his 12-year career, sold his house and belongings, and moved into an RV with his loyal dog, Finley.

Together, they hit the road, embracing a life of adventure and comedy. Since then, Alex has performed coast to coast, entertained audiences in multiple countries, and appeared at some of the world’s biggest comedy festivals. His inspiring story has even caught the attention of national media.Through his popular YouTube vlog, Alex documents his transition to professional comedy, starting from the day he quit his job.

Matt Taylor began his journey in strength training just before his 13th birthday when, weighing only 99 pounds, he decided to pick up a barbell. Quickly captivated by the pursuit of strength, he discovered powerlifting—a sport that not only resonated with him deeply but also revealed a talent he never knew he had. A few years later, Matt set a national squat record and won his division at the Powerlifting World Championships in 2014. This transformation, from feeling "invisible" to becoming known for something within his social circle, gave him a newfound sense of purpose. In 2022, Matt was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition that forced him to reevaluate his training goals, including his dreams of squatting 500 pounds and deadlifting 600 pounds. Reflecting on his early training years, he recognized mistakes made in assuming "time was on his side." This realization reshaped his approach as a coach, motivating him to help others avoid similar pitfalls and optimize their strength journeys. Since beginning his coaching career in 2014, Matt has worked with over 4,000 lifters, guiding them in their pursuit of strength. His current focus is on helping individuals who have yet to fulfill their athletic potential achieve personal records in their first powerlifting meets, all while training efficiently—spending less than five hours per week in the gym—so they can excel in other areas of life, including family, work, and personal commitments. In addition to his extensive professional expertise, Matt actively engages with a community of over 4,000 members and maintains a presence on Instagram, where he shares insights and connects with lifters.
