Thrive On Life Podcast

Dr. Matt Delgado and Dr. Scott Mitchell, Founders of LifeSpring Chiropractic, are here to *set you straight* about what it truly means to live a healthy lifestyle, and how to truly differentiate yourself in business.

Dr. Matt came to Austin nothing but $2k and a passion for helping people live more *in alignment* with health and wellness. He called his college mentee Dr. Scott to come to Austin, check out his humble office and discuss the vision for creating a new chiropractic experience. Despite Dr. Scott having many amazing job offers at the time, he really *had a hunch* that this was the way he could make more of an impact on the community.

And these two *vertibros* have done just that. They are dedicated to educating the community of Austin, Texas about holistic health and encouraging people to take care of their bodies, especially now in these times of the coronavirus.

In this episode we talk about how these guys started cracking peoples' backs for a living, answer the question of how to know what to give away for "free" in business (hint: nothing is really for free, even if there isn't a dollar amount attached to it), how to trust your gut to make decisions and stay true to yourself, and the importance of creating an experience for your customers (and how to do so).

Dr. Matt Delgado and Dr. Scott Mitchell are looking to work with people in their twenties, thirties or even young forties who want to be healthier so they can perform better and recover better, whether you're in pain or not!

At the time of this recording, due to coronavirus lockdown, LifeSpring Chiropractic office is currently closed, but definitely follow them on Instagram @lifespringchiro, @drscottmitchell and @drmattdelgado for updates!

ThriveHQ is also closed for the time being, but be sure to DM us on IG at @thriveonlife if you want access to our new FREE online community, filled with resources to help you THRIVE.

Ashlyn Knox isn't like most college students these days. Instead of working a minimum wage job for just enough to buy some alcohol for the parties, she'd actually rather wake up at 5 AM and go to her "unpaid" job.

Why?

Because she took the time to question what she ENJOYS, puts her HEALTH first, and has seen first hand the IMPACT she's made on the lives of the people she works with. Ashlyn is a full-time McCombs School of Business student at UT AND she's on the road to becoming the next household name in #atxfitness as a personal trainer!

And it is her humble "always learning" attitude, her willingness to put in the work when no one's looking and continuing to surround herself with the right people that have kept her on the fast track to greatness. This episode is perfect for you if you are a college student wondering how you can make the most out of your time in school and live your life with PURPOSE and THRIVE.

Corey Lawson was called into the principal's office one day when he was 7 years old. He was a bit of a trouble maker and just thought he'd gotten caught this time. But when he stepped into the office, his mom was there, and she was crying. Hard. "Corey, your father collapsed. He's gone."

Meeting Corey today, you wouldn't have any idea he'd experienced such tragedy. He lights up the room with his vibrant, positive energy. But it wasn't always this way. In his darkest moments, fitness, sports, team camaraderie, and coaches were there for him. 

It is in honor of his father and the other positive male influences in his life that Corey aims to help as many people as possible achieve optimal health and live their best lives, because we never know if today is our last day.

Corey is the founder of Claw Athletics, a health and fitness company that provides boot camps, social activities, 1:1 personal fitness training, and online training for millennials, by millennials. 

It wasn't an easy road getting to where Corey is today, and in this episode, he shares every bump and rock bottom moment along the way.

"There were officers a couple feet away from us and this woman next to me is sobbing her eyes out and I'm like...Savannah, I love you too but just keep it cool 'cause I don't wanna get arrested right now." -Scott

If you would have asked Scott and Savannah years ago if they think they'd be where they are now, the answer would probably (definitely) be no.

Where they are now is the result of both of them following their intuition, leaning in even when there was fear, and taking risks. 

If you want to change the world, you have to start with changing yourself first, and that means taking risks in your personal life in order to grow. 

Find out how Scott went from doing a sales job he hated to starting his own video and photography business, and how Savannah pivoted from makeup sales to fitness coaching with 101K followers on Instagram, both of them by saying "yes" to multiple opportunities even when they weren't sure what would come of it.

We also talk about:

-How they met, fell in love, and ended up in Austin

-Why Savannah was crying on a bench after their first date

-The importance of following your intuition

-What is the 168 rule? And how it's helped Scott be more productive and efficient

-How the HECK does CJ work on SO MANY PROJECTS AT ONCE??

-How Savannah transitioned from cosmetics to fitness and how her client FB group is changing lives
