Hello, Happy Holidays, and Happy Thursday! On the last episode of 2017, Tom goes over his gratitude list for the year #followingthefeelgood. He shares his top ten and what each means to him. What the podcast, his guests, his listeners, and certain Pro You people that had an affect on him and how much it means to him. What he is so passionate about, why he does what he does, lies within his ability to be consistent. He is ever so thankful that "he gets" to be him and that he "gets to" share his experience, story, and success with those who will listen. Enjoy and as always, thank you for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Today a former guest from ep #141 Thuy Jacobson, returns and is joined by her husband Dave. Tom will never forget the episode he had with Thuy, it had a true impact on Tom and his path. Post episode, Thuy sent Tom a text. Tom has not stopped thinking about an update episode with her since. But since that episode, what Thuy and her husband have endured could not have been predicted, which made for an amazing story and episode of Pro You Podcast. Happy Holidays, be safe, enjoy, and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode of Pro You Podcast your favorite host, Tom, shares info that he would share with a personal training client. He also reads an article on how exercise affects your mind and shares an email he sent to his clients after he climbed out of his valley. It is a challenging time of year for many so Tom is sending out positive vibes to all his listeners! Lastly, if anyone is needing a Skype session - consider it a Christmas gift from Tom and shoot him an email at: proyoupodcast@gmail.com! He would appreciate the opportunity to payback his listeners! Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello, happy Thursday, and Happy Thanksgiving! On today's episode Tom shares two tests that are now in his hindsight and he can share the lesson he has learned so many times over. Two years ago on Thanksgiving, Tom trained CH and helped a friend struggling over a phone chat. He realized he had been thankful everyday. It is the way he healed the two years prior. On this particular "day", a Thursday, (Thanksgiving) he was so very thankful to have trained one of his best clients and friends and then helped another friend feel better. He also had food, shelter, and clothing. He worked out, felt great, all in that one special day. Tom realized he didn't need special food, around a special table, with certain people. He knew he could be alone. He also knew most people were being or trying to be, thankful on that one day out of the year. Tom knew in his heart how thankful he had been everyday of the past two years. The next day he decided to start the podcast. In March of the next year PYP began. Once again, Tom was ever so thankful. So Tom wanted to shout out a special THANK YOU to all the listeners for their support, their time, and their energy. "Tom gets to do what he loves!" Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode of Pro You Podcast Tom talks to his neighbor that lives below him in Hollywood. Kabir befriended Zen one day and that's all Tom needed to love Kabir! Kabir is a very busy dude and Tom has been trying to get him on the podcast for awhile. Kabir's story, like many on the podcast, is unlike any Tom has heard. Tom enjoys Kabir and his friendship and hopes you enjoy this episode and Kabir's story as well! Thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Today, Tom speaks on two topics: the first was a Sunday evening where Tom's old friend "the voice" pays him a visit. Second, Tom shares a letter a long time friend of Pro You Podcast, Bret Crews, who wrote on FB about the passing of his dog, Arthur. Tom struggles reading the letter, a lot. We never know when we will be hit by feelings and emotion that over take us. "Sometimes, ya just gotta cry and move forward..." - TJD Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode of Pro You Podcast Tom shares his sadness and his anger with the recent events involving (#metoo) all the female victims of sexual harassment, assault, or worse and the men who do whatever they want because they can and how much pain and suffering those actions cause. Tom shares his personal experience with women who have been assaulted and how the pain, suffering, and length of it all has taken it's toll. Tom has always been Pro-Women and that's why he used to teach self defense for women, karate for kids - to fight back, defend oneself from bullies of all types! Yes, Tom has a very definitive opinion on Horrible Harvey and men like him. Tom's wish is that any victim of any type of violence from any type of bully OWNS the truth that it is NOT: their fault, NOT a negative thing they should be embarrassed about, NOT anything that haunts them for years, decades out of fear of not sharing or getting help, or WHEN they do share it, it does NOT affect their career. Bad people do bad things to good people. It is not about you, the victim, it's NOT your fault. Envision Tom crying right now. Yeah, it's very real to Tom. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode of Pro You Podcast, Tom shares a very recent, very humbling moment. One that will affect him for the rest of his life. That he totally loved and appreciated. And that caused him intense pain and hated. Yes, all in the same single moment. At a bank. On a Thursday afternoon. It is in these "moments" where life happens. Tom has said many times, "It is how one responds to these moments and moves forward that is ultimately important". Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode of Pro You Podcast, Tom shares his and Zen's successful trip to Big Sur. Tom reads a homework assignment he gave a reader (Tom is once again humbled) and ties that into his trip to Big Sur and life lesson. There is good and bad, all over, everyday, if you choose to see it that way. Or, just look at it the way you choose to. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening  

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode Tom gets back to sharing what's going on in his life as far as clients and the scenario's that have presented themselves. Tom is consistently challenged by external things. To keep himself the best version, so he can help others, he must stick to the choices that got him where he is today. He understands the value in that. Teaching it to others is the challenge. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode of Pro You Podcast, Tom continues to share his experience from Saturday morning September 9th 2017. That would make this the third episode where Tom speaks about Zen and his accident - obviously it has had (and still has) an affect on Tom's thoughts, words, and path. The meet and greet happens at the animal shelter in Castaic and Tom has a metaphor come to him on the drive that reiterates one of the principles Tom has been following: focus on that which you can control. Tom's conviction is at an all time high and he is ever so thankful to "still" be doing what he gets to do! Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! It's been five days since Zen and Tom's accident and Tom has remained very introspective. Time has slowed and Tom is taking note. Nothing has changed, it's just that Tom has gained clarity. With that clarity he has chosen to continue to do him, just harder. Believe it or not Tom is even more thankful for his listeners. Enjoy and as always thank you for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's Pro You Podcast, Tom shares the most unbelievable story you will ever hear and that Tom and Zen have ever been through. Tom mentioned in his last episode of Pro You Podcast that he and Zen were headed up to Big Sur (a 5 hour drive). An hour into the drive, at 6:00 am in the morning, in total darkness, one of Tom's favorite quotes "You can't stop what's coming' literally came into play. Tom & Zen were struck by another car causing their own car to roll. Tom and Zen's life is changed forever. Tom is still trying to figure out how. This episode Tom recorded the very next morning, emotions raw, and so many things running through his head. He wanted his listeners to know he is very happy to be doing another episode and so very thankful for everything and everyone who listens - just a little bit more than usual! Enjoy and as always thank you for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode of Pro You Podcast, Tom shares a listener's response to a PYP episode where Tom shared a weakness of his. Tom then shares stories of Harvey, Irma, and how he has been personally affected by these and the forest fires in California. There seems to be a lot of bad happening and still to come (as when he recorded this episode) for many, many people, and Tom shares how he remains thankful, in the purple, and continues to live and learn. Tom ends this episode with another unplanned "add-on" and reads things that tugged on his heart strings. The last one he barley makes it through. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday Pro You People! On today's episode Tom shares some quotes he likes. A quote that has always humbled him, a new quote that has become his mantra (He's never really had a mantra before so one more unfamiliar thing!), and a moment that Tom struggles to share due to his less than Pro You actions. All of this and the fact that every thing changes 24 hours later, on Tuesday, along Tom's Pro You Path. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening! 

But thinking makes it so. Yes, Shakespeare, my Pro You People, Shakespeare! That's how Tom is rolling on today's episode of Pro You Podcast. One of Tom's favorite quotes (next to "What you can be you must be." - Abraham Maslow). He has been trying to walk his Pro You Path with "nothing is good or bad, only thinking makes it so." and Tom is proving it true everyday in every way. It is a battle. It takes a very long time. And that is exactly why 1.) Tom does what he does 2.) why he is repetitive and 3.) what he is trying to get people to buy into, embrace, and OWN by deeming themselves worthy of whatever it takes! If one pretended that everything that happened was planned, imagine the time and energy saved from not wondering, worrying, and just being present in your life's Pro You path.  You could move forward efficiently and purposefully.

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's Pro You Podcast, Tom shares the potential of what can happen in just one day. Along his spiritual path, he has noticed that balancing "how am I doing" is the consistent test. Tom has always been hard on himself. (He was taught well.) Thus, a fine line is drawn between pursuing a better you (patiently and lovingly supportive) and judging or critiquing oneself because that is what is familiar. Tom then shares two moments, two days that changed his life for ever. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening.

Hello and happy Thursday! Today on Pro You Podcast Tom shares somewhat of a epiphany he had involving the podcast and his listeners while recording this episode. Tom shares three amazing emails from three amazing listeners. Then Tom shares his response to each of the emails and how grateful he is to be doing what he is doing. Tom has also been discovering how difficult it is for people to ask for help. This is the bridge Tom wishes to gap via his podcast - let the healing begin! Tom is confidently convicted that this is exactly what he is supposed to be doing and he is thankful for all he gets to do. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening! 

On today's episode of Pro You Podcast, hear part two of PYP Ep #161 "So this just happened" where Tom shares the story of what happened at the gym. Well this is the young man who made Tom cry, Sir Connor Coman. A wonderful young man whom before Ep #161 Tom only knew his name because he was also a trainer at the gym. The moment they shared was quite clear to Tom; he knew the why and what. But he was ever so intrigued to finally hear young Connor's perspective and Connor's story - both are as amazing as Tom expected! Enjoy and as always thank you for listening!

On today's episode of Pro You Podcast you will hear Tom more uncomfortable than ever before. And yes, he knew he would be. He recorded it in the evening which never happens. That should tell you something. "Be careful what you wish for," might be a good adage for this episode. Tom has simply stated he will pursue a spiritual path (not knowing what that fully means) and share his experience (report the news). But no one shares everything right? What if a moment happened, along a path you chose, that made you share something you never thought you would share with anyone else, let alone on a podcast. Welcome to Tom's Pro You Path and a moment he'll never forget. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!
