The energy at the Arnold Sports Festival never disappoints. Each year, thousands of fitness enthusiasts, athletes, and industry leaders gather in Columbus, OH, for one of the largest celebrations of strength and performance in the world. While the competitions, celebrity appearances, and expo floor activations always bring the crowd, one of the biggest highlights this year was something far more interactive-people stepping up to test the equipment themselves. Surrounded by some of the biggest brands in fitness, one thing became clear almost immediately: Attendees didn’t just want to look at equipment. They wanted to use it. From the moment the…
A certified strength coach reveals exactly where your core should rank after 60. Core strength becomes increasingly valuable as the years go on. The muscles around your abdomen and spine help stabilize nearly every movement you make. Walking, climbing stairs, carrying groceries, and even standing tall all rely on a strong and responsive core. When those muscles stay strong, the body tends to move with more confidence and control. One thing I’ve noticed coaching clients over the years is that core strength often shows up in subtle ways before people even realize it. Your balance feels steadier. Posture improves. Every…

Some of these are new launches, others are pieces we’ve already come to rely on. Either way, they’re thoughtful…

Feels like it appeared out of nowhere.

Shereen Pavlides knows that road well. Before she became the force behind Cooking with Shereen media gave her…
Raisins, often referred to as “Kishmish,” defy judgments based on their shriveled, aged, and dry appearance. These dried fruits, available in golden, black-ish, and green hues, are nutritional powerhouses. Packed with fiber, iron, calcium, potassium, and various essential nutrients, they offer an energy boost and contribute to the health of hair and skin. Additionally, raisins make for a quick and simple snack that can be enjoyed at any time of the day.

We tend to approach productivity systems for leaders as a refinement problem. We look at our workflows and ask how to make them better. Faster. More efficient. But what if that’s the wrong starting point? That’s the thread that stayed with me most from my conversation with Rich Czyz—not the tactics, but the posture. Before we optimize, before we organize, before we build anything new… we remove. Because much of what fills our days isn’t chosen. It’s inherited. Old practices. Lingering expectations. Processes that once made sense but no longer serve the present moment. They persist not because they’re valuable—but…
