The Victory Lap: Everyday People Pursuing Wellness Everyday  

The Victory Lap features people sharing their health & fitness success stories. My aim as the host is simply to encourage you to pursue, enjoy and win the endeavor to live healthier. I work in wellness support and I know fitting wellness into your lifestyle is not so simple a task. Yet, it does not have to be a burden either. Join me as I present Victor Views... genuine insights of others who successfully achieve wellness and better health. Two Sundays each month at 4pm.

Show Notes

Yes, it is true! Ordinary people with complex lives are finding ways to have extraordinarily good fitness, health and wellness. They are cut from many different cloths. Some do self-help, some use fitness and wellness professionals. Some love the outdoors and some exercise indoors. Some eat all organic foods and some just maintain a steady, healthy diet of moderation. Some are overly stressed and some have little pressure. Some have lost weight and some never needed to. On The Victory Lap you will hear Victor Views! That is, I interview people who are successfully living a healthy lifestyle. You will even hear from some of the fitness trainers, dietitians, therapists and other wellness professionals and specialists who help others pursue successful exercise, nutrition, stress management, weight loss, pain reduction and more. Tune in two Sundays each month and be encouraged to live well. Hosted by Leon "The Encourager" Bullard

    399 Days Ago

    I remember the day clearly.

    I was on the telephone with a friend and fellow Toastmaster Naomi Takeuchi. She was asking me how things were going with my health and fitness work. I told her what I had been telling everyone else, “A few months ago I stopped doing personal training and wellness coaching full-time. Now, I have a full-time job and while I do have a few training and coaching clients, I am focused on writing a wellness book and considering speaking opportunities and projects.”

    I thought that response would suffice as it usually does. But Naomi wanted to know more, “What types of speaking  projects are you considering?” I actually had an idea so I replied, “A podcast,” in a definitive manner… it was my non-verbal way of expressing that I had nothing further to add right now. Either she did not pick up on my cue or she was truly very interested in knowing more because the conversation continued.

    “What will the podcast be about?”
    “Oh…health, wellness, fitness…I have been developing my Victorious Wellness platform so it will be, you know, stuff like that.”
    “When are you going to start?”
    “Ummm! Soon.”

    I don’t think she was sure how to read my shallow responses. Was I just newly thinking about this idea? Was I just being indecisive? Was I sure about going forward and procrastinating?

    Soon after this exchange, the call was coming to a close. And somehow, someway she got me thinking that I was going to get this podcast idea off the ground, up and running, on the air—just fill in your best cliché—by August…2008!

    So, the seed took root and I began thinking seriously about creating a podcast. And I thought about what I would want to say. And I considered who I wanted to benefit. And as I thought, the days turned to weeks and then months. Well, it did not happen by August 2008, but I could not get the thought out of my head.

    So, here I am today in August 2009 launching my BlogTalkRadio show (which is way more elaborate than the podcast idea I had). I want to give a special thanks to Naomi for getting me all fired up in the first place. I also want to thank BTR show host Beverly Mahone for both introducing me to BlogTalkRadio and encouraging me to just get started and have my message heard.
