Hello and happy Thursday! Tom shared of his feeling of joy 'once again' whilst recording this episode of PYP. A large part of that goes to PYP's new producer Sir Niko Ketsilis and his help with the transitioning and getting out of #302 on last Thursday; so Tom and his PYP remain consistently perfect #everythursday since Ep #1 (a little over four years). If it didn't happen, Tom had let it go - was not 'his to carry' but if it did... AND IT DID! Tom and Zen would and did, drive off to Lake Tahoe with a smile on their faces and peace in their minds. Tom then shares his and Zen's time in Tahoe and the huge news of his interview with The Dodo #soulmates on their Facebook page about Zen and Tom's accident. "Fruits of his labor and enjoying the moments and being present" is what Tom would call all of this or... Achieving Quiet. 
 
Tom is overflowing with gratitude to be experiencing all that he is and the opportunity to share all of it with the ones he cares most about =- his PYP listeners! #thankyouthankyouthankyou Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! 300 PYP Episodes - can you believe it? Tom cannot! But he is way stoked and he is even (Shhh... don't tell anyone!) a little proud of himself and his accomplishment. There is no big guest, no super awesome news, just an update of the PYP Journal that is, Tom and his best friend Zen's walk and path. Tom wanted the listeners to know that the only reason he reached 300 episodes was because of YOU! Thank you, thank you and thank you for being you, supporting, listening and allowing Tom to do what he does. As always thanks for listening and enjoy!

Hello and happy Thursday! 
 
One would think, a podcast by a personal trainer focusing on nutrition as an obvious topic. One might also assume it would be an early episode of their podcast journey. But not Tom! #lol As a personal trainer Tom never wanted 'nutritional guidelines' to be to homework-like; ie. counting calories, grams of protein, carbs and sugars. At this point in Tom's life, many things look different and that is why Tom decided to share his thoughts on nutritional basics on today's episode of his Pro You Podcast - enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode Tom shares an amazing poem (and his first ever poem) that a friend and long time PYP listener wrote to Tom. Chris purchased a piece of Tom's Found Art and when Tom opened what he thought would be the payment and a 'thank you note' it turned out to be one of the most amazing things that Tom has ever read about PYP and what he has shared weekly for the past four years. A huge thank you to Chris Davis, Michigan's Pro You guy, the author of the poem. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode Tom continues to share his walk, his journey and the fruits of his Pro You labor. It was a simple moment, a small package, but what a moment it became and what a gift it became! Pretty special when you know you don't need anything but someone knows exactly what you do need. That is quite awesome and amazing and once again why Tom continues to do what he does, insuring he shall continue to receive that which he is receiving. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode of PYP by tjd Tom shares his story of being a personal trainer; how it evolved and how at one point in time it was all he was doing and due to his present state of mind, that is what he replied when asked what he did, "just a personal trainer...".

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom had experienced truly sitting deep in his canoe on a Sunday morning April seventh two-thousand nineteen. He didn't have many notes, which is part of his recording PYP process and spoke for fifty seven minutes. Tom was in a kool zone. As he and his best friend Zen drove to the beach, the title of his book came to mind and he again thought of his original title, "Stones and Stories" and he felt at peace that would be the name. What Tom didn't know is that he would say that out loud, to mostly strangers, at the beach a few hours later. It was an amazing moment for Tom with some truly amazing people that all became his friends after! Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Continuing to bear the fruits of his Pro You Labor, Tom shares how he is responding vs reacting by default, automatically, organically, and he knows he 'did not' for the first 48 years of his life. Feeling better about himself, through the choices he choose to make, Tom is feeling better about his experiences which then makes him even more excited to share it with the ones he cares about the most - YOU - the PYP listener!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom is in a pretty good groove so to speak; sitting quite calmly in 'his canoe' and the best thing is that he is highly aware of that! One thing Tom shares is a couple of personal parenting moments he fell in love with this past week. Also, there is factual data that prove to Tom that Pro You thinking is becoming more and more an automatic response vs some habitual thing that was formed years ago. Being aware, being in the moment, being present are all things discussed by Tom on today's episode of Pro You. He shares his thoughts on adding new healthy habits and breaking the bad habits. Tom did some googling and found the perfect article that basically says what Tom says just more articulate - shocker! Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode of Pro You Podcast Tom shares his reflections prior to and post his fifty fourth birthday. Having Pro You perspective doesn't mean everything is perfect, it just allows one to decide where they want to place their precious time and energy. Seeing, speaking, living in the "Purple' as Tom calls it is staying in a mental place where you are highly aware of your words, actions and then being your own biggest fan!

One of the things Tom was most proud of and thankful for was PYP and his listeners! So extra special 'thank you, thank you and thank you' to all you listeners from Tom!!!

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode Tom finds more things to read from his old files - shocker! Tom also shares some clients and their stories who are truly getting 'it' - it being Pro You, "Ain't easy but I'm worth it!" Tom continues to journal and reflect on himself and his growth. Nearing Tom's next phase of his Pro You path (some say birthday) he is truly thinking about who he really is and want he truly wants. Tom must work hard at this, it is not easy or comfortable and he must focus a lot but... he is worth it! Looking back at his path the one thing he knows for sure - it 'all' worked out! Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom is hoping this finds you healthy, happy and being the best you! On today's episode Tom continues sharing his walk, his path, his tests and his triumphs. February definitely had an affect on how deep Tom sat in his canoe. If you are a listener of PYPO you know what that means. Tom has always believed in it is not how you begin but how you finish, no matter what that entails. In Tom's most peaceful moments he realizes how small his world gets focusing on that which he truly can control and that which he truly cares about. A Pro You tool box is another fruit of one's labor along a Pro You path. One of Tom's best tools, one that makes him most present and centers him is when he focuses his time and energy on Zen, his best friend. Tom shares how that transcended into a great ending to February. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! This moment in time is what brings Tom the most joy and pride; his shinny baby, his live journal, his healing process, that which he is most thankful for, Pro You Podcast is four years old! just like Zen! Tom spent many years emailing out what he called 'Sunday Morning Messages' and then he played around many years ago with a friend and tried to record a few podcasts and that did not continue. Roughly six years later Tom had healed and had clarity in one area, he knew he wanted to do his podcast. It was the morning after Thanksgiving four years ago and in March of 2015 Tom posted his first PYP. That truly was his goal because he was highly aware of what he had just gone through and the contrasting amazing feeling he had and begin to build upon that pro You path. Thus, Tom was very thankful, what he had practiced. He was incredibly grateful, what he had practiced. And his conscious mind set was that every episode post Episode #1 was icing and he 'got to' do each one. A lot happened in those four years; rescuing & being rescued by Zen, both unscratched post their accident, Tom began to journal his path, his walk, and his experience. And that became his podcast. A big thank you, thank you and thank you to all who follow, listen, support and care about Tom (& Zen's) journey!!! Enjoy and a s always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom has spoken many times about the good one receives post following a path of Pro You choices. Tom's line is, "Becoming pro You means you being a better you, a better version, making it easier to be YOU and your life as is, is better." Who would not want that - right? Tom shares client success stories and how Tom is filled with "Purple" due to the fact that Tom is part of their journey, part of their success and thus, part of their joy is Tom's as well. Tom is ever so thankful he gets to do what he does and has moments like this to share to those he cares about the most - YOU the listener! Thank you, thank you and thank you from Tom for being one of those listeners. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode Tom discusses a familiar theme mentioned many times on Pro You podcast.

A challenge Tom and many others will face consistently even along a Pro You path. Tom continues to find things to share/read that he has collected over the years and he is amazed how much he still likes them yet he knows he feels different about each one than he did 20-30 years ago.
