Indecision. We all struggle with it from time to time but many times it's just better to quickly assess, make a darn decision and fine tune it or move in a different direction later if needed. After all, life is too short to continue to be road kill right? Just ask our friend the squirrel and I'm not talking about those smart ones on the Geico commercial. - Coach Michael

I’LL PROBABLY END UP IN FB JAIL
for sharing these facts and my opinion.

🤷🏼‍♂️ WHY NOT BE PROACTIVE? 🤷🏼‍♂️ NEW STUDY from University Hospital in Spain (216 cases)...80% had lower Vit D levels compared to a similar demographic.

MY RANT: This supports what they knew in early April...that Vit D is the #1 factor that differentiate those in the no-to-mild symptom group and those in the moderate-to-severe symptom group. The goal should not be and should have never been to prevent getting this bug. It should have been to fight it fast and well if you got it. It’s irrational and irresponsible to convence the public that we should keep from getting this. That is as plausible as trying never to have staphylococcus or streptococcus in our mouth. Just cause it is in our mouth doesn’t mean it can get into the blood stream and infect. You have to let it in...by your choices, habits and even mindset (yes, fear, anxiety, anger can all cause spike or chronic elevation in cortisol which gaps the cells in the mouth, nose, gut). Same with sugar, alcohol, lack of sleep, smoking, eating artificial crap, and high intensity exercise. Yep, redline exercise and competition cause a 24 hr window of infection risk. That is why athletes get this among other factors. It’s not rocket science y’all. It’s not even immunology. It’s just physiology. It’s the way the body work. This stuff has to get in just like a robber in a house. You leave your doors and windows open...don’t be shocked or surprised if you get robbed and your house trashed. Leave the cells gapped from recent choices or chronic long term choices...then that’s on you. The only peeps who have a legit excuse and hall pass are the elderly, those born with or adult onset diseases and disorders that were genetic and not based on lifestyle choices. I am tired of how the media is spinning this and how the medical community is not stepping up and stepping in to educate, empower and encourage the public. 🤦🏼‍♂️

In these crazy times Dr Hasenbank and I want to remind you to be safe and not buy into fear. Fear never gets you that far in life. So here’s a quote from First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt that may help. Work smarter not harder. Fear Does not really allow you to do that well or let you work from a point of strength - Coach Michael Merlino

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along. ' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”

First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt

On Episode 3 - "Collabing is Key" we recommended our fav project planning platform Asana, available via your browser and/or a phone app.

This sweet tool gives you a great visual working space to manage projects, delegate tasks and keep that momentum going on your next project. Most can benefit from the free version alone. We love the board setup which gives you a great picture of what needs to get done, by who and when.

Very user friendly compared to others out there like Evernote.

Give it a try. Many major companies like Deloitte, Vox Media, NASA, Comcast already use it!

On Episode 3 - "Collaborating Is Key" we talked about our fav app for speedy and efficient collabing, the Marco Polo app.

This slick app has become very popular during the pandemic as a way to stay connected with others. We used it to brainstorm and launch this show. I plan to do even more with it in the future because I hate back and forth texts and email which waste time and go nowhere.

It's like having a video walkie talkie. Shoot a video snippet send it off to a friend, then they comment and hit you back with a marco polo. Also works across phone platforms so if a friend has an Android phone and you have an Iphone it still communicates seamlessly. Check it out today and get collabing man!

The ideas you create may make the better place and we need more of that!
