And we have a very special guest coming upthat we had a chance to meet.
You know, I did, you know, a couple,couple of months back, facilitate
a cup of coffee, got to know each otherand said, you got to come on our podcast.
She said, yes, I do.
I'm excited about meeting herand talking about,

So I, I'm working at the moment,tell everyone, okay, we're really happy to
welcome Linda Hubbard to the show todayas we kick off the new year
(01:47):
with renewed hope for better healthand prosperity in all areas of our life.
Let's face it,getting healthy can feel overwhelming.
Where do you even start?
Changing longstandinghabits is not easy, and staying motivated
can feel really like it's impossibleat times.
That's where Linda comes in.

Linda Hubbard, welcome toWhat's Good with John and Joyce.
And I could toss as away.
(02:29):
Thank you. Hey.Oh, happy to be here. Linda.
Oh. This is awesome.
This is awesome.
So, Linda,this has to be a busy time for you.
Will you begin working with people?
So. So, of course, everybody
makes their New Year's resolutions,and usually within.
Definitely within 30 days.
I don't know what the stats are.
(02:50):
Something like 85%.
It all goes by the wayside.
So at that point,not necessarily January 1st,
but at that point people decidethey might like a little bit of help
and they come see me. Right.
So it gets busy and it gets busy.
The first, the first whole quarter.
I mean, you know,as much as I'm pulling the resolutions,
(03:11):
not totally,you know, people take those seriously.
And for the first few months,and then, especially when they start
looking towardsspring is actually going to come someday.
That'swhen it really kicks in as well, right?
And people think about spring.
Give me a little less clothing out therethat noticed social workers
in the wintertime. People are hiding. Yes.
Behind, you know, sweatersand all that type of stuff.
(03:33):
But I remember as a personal trainermyself, Linda too, you know,
you train people in January and you'reright, 3 or 4 weeks to kind of give up on.
Yes they do.
So what I would usually do is say, gosh,you got to give it 90 days.
If you're really serious.And that that's human nature.
Human nature isI mean, it takes time to create a habit.
And that that's what you're doing itnew lifestyle, different habits,
healthy habits. Right.
(03:54):
The it you can't downplay the importanceof the habits.
Yeah.
And and there's there's ways to createa habit that are based in science.
It's not it's not random.
You can do it with a kind of a stepby step process.
That works for your life. Right?
So yeah.
So what would it stepbe to start creating a habit?
(04:17):
You know, I've heard, like, three weeks.
It's, I do, one of my
programs, depending on the individualis, is three months.
Three monthsreally can solidify a new habit
and make it just that, an everyday
or common habit that you've adopted.
But yes, to your point,a couple of weeks of doing something,
(04:41):
one of the main things is to keepit really small and really simple.
So you don't, you know, again, hit January1st and say, I'm going to eat perfectly,
I'm going to exercise every day, and I'mgoing to do this, this, this, and this.
Right. It won't work.
It has to be small.
It's I'm going to eat an extra fruitor vegetable every day this week,
(05:03):
and that's what makes it stick,makes it doable, makes you successful.
Everybody thinks it's willpower.
It's not it's not.
You have to build yourself up to it.
Yeah, it really is.
And the small things,like you said before and celebrating
those little victoriesalong the way as well.
Celebration is a big part of it.
Well, one of my favorite sayingsis inch by inch it's a cinch.
(05:24):
Yard by yard. I like it.
I like so little by littlethe babies are true baby.
So true.
And being encouragingbecause people get beat up every day
in the world and they're a family at work,whatever it may be.
So if we could be that encouraging person
that they look forward to seeingand we're we're going to give them grace.
Absolutely. Because we fall.
You know, I mean, Joyce, youyou keep yourself very fit.
(05:46):
I do, so do you, Linda.
We understand the mentality of this,but it's new for a lot of people.
And we really have to show them love.
Well.
And and they think in terms of perfection.
Yeah.
If I didn't do it perfectly, I bombed it.
Now it's all over.
Oh my gosh. No, that's that's just life.
And then they throw the whole thingout the door.
Right.
Going much out in the potato chipsor whatever.
(06:08):
Right. Okay. We all fall off.We all right?
We all do. And and not even fall off.
You can plan to splurge here.
We you know,you just went through the holidays.
You're going to splurge.And that's a good thing.
Yeah.
I mean, that's fun.
That's so many things.
I know I agree to have Joyce's cookies.
I'm going to splurge on the oldies.
I had them all the Christmas season.
(06:28):
Maybe this first week of January.
I might have a couple more.Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you know.
Oh, happy New Year. Yeah.
You know, you probably heard mesay this before on air, but,
there's, when I worked with a cardiologygroup for people for weight loss,
and I remember this one manwho lost, like, 300 pounds in one year,
and he said he knewhe was on the right track
(06:52):
when he gained 10 poundsand he didn't beat himself up.
And he went right backto doing what he was doing. Yeah.
And the big picture that's goingto happen, that's just going to happen.
You don't I mean my gosh. Yeah.
What are the stats used to be on quittingsmoking.
People try ten times.
It's the 10th time or something like thatthat it works.
(07:12):
Yeah.
And so you have you have to be patientand that's a tough one.
But you have to give yourself grace.
Now, where do you been in the wellnessfield for a long time.
What made you decideto all of a sudden work with people?
You work with peopleall across the country?
I do, don't you?
I do, you know what made you decideto step in this space?
So I, way, way back, going backmany moons.
(07:32):
I was a critical care cardiac nurse.
And and went from,
being in the hospital with patientsto going to, running their cardiac rehab,
so they'd have their heart attack,they'd have their open heart surgery,
and they came to a facility that I ranwith an incredible team of people,
and we would help them learn how toexercise and monitor their exercise.
(07:56):
So they were safe.We had cooking classes.
We had, stress management,all those things that are so important.
And I loved it back then.
That was all encompassing. Loved it.
It was a it was a whole center that did that.
And it was in Philadelphia.
Again,I won't mention the year, but way back
(08:17):
and, and so,so I then went into the corporate world
and into software, but still with,one of the business partners
that my company worked withwas American Heart Association.
So I've been doing this all alongand doing what I do now
with the coaching with friends and familyand colleagues for all those years.
(08:38):
But two years ago,I decided to make it official
and open to your health and as you said,work with people all over the country,
because everything I do, forthe most part, can be done remotely.
But I workwith a lot of local people, too.
And if they want the cooking classand the things in their home and going
grocery shopping and reading labels andall those things that go along with it,
(09:00):
those are options.
And you help them out with all of that.Absolutely.
That is that is terrific.
And Linda,you can work with people online.
Right.
So everything I doessentially the program, is meeting
with people week to weekfirst assessing all kinds of things.
I mean, their life style.
If I can't go tell you to go eat
(09:21):
these five foods,if you hate those foods, talk about right.
You know, setting yourself up for defeat.
So I'm going to assess what is what'syour lifestyle, your work, your home life.
Are you doing the shopping?Are you doing the cooking?
All of the medical historythat that people would like to share.
I'm not working as a medical professional,in this capacity.
(09:43):
But if they're comfortable sharing,I want to know everything
because that that's going to fitinto their customized plan.
And that's that's great
because it's about the relationshipand finding out what they do.
And when.
I would train peoplethe same, same way, Joyce, I would say,
what are you trying to accomplishwith this? Right.
What's your goals?What's your number one goal for me?
I want to train you a different waywith your core.
If you're a powerlifter or if you'rea football player, you need explosion.
(10:06):
I want to help them with their squatsin their lower body.
So it's all about that.The need will provide.
The lead can always listeningall the time. That's
why God gave us two ears, right?
Listen, it's not about us,it's about them.
And I love what you're doing,but I love that
you help them with reading the ingredientsin the shopping and all.
Course, it's it's it'snot going to be able to last, you know,
again I can learn about them and give themI here's a bunch of foods
(10:28):
you might want to like and try and and and see how it works for you.
But then eventuallythey're going to be on their own
and they're going to pick up a food andsay, I wonder if this is healthy for me.
And we keep it.
Everything I do is not only customizedto that person, but really simple.
I take it down to the most simple.
It's not.
It's not the scientific behind the scenes.
(10:49):
Everything I doand share is based in science, but
I really work with them so that reading alabel is not a big production.
It's glance and see if there's 50ingredients or three.
You make the comment, there you go.
Yes, yes, you need to make that simple.
So how often do people check in with youonce they start a program with you?
So, like I said that
(11:11):
again, customized programs,but one of the programs is three months.
And, and the basis of that is meetingonce a week,
either online, in person,wherever they'd like to meet.
And, that's usually for 45 minutes or so.
And we really do a touch base.
How is how are things going?How is your week?
(11:33):
How are you feeling?
Yeah. What what's new this week?
And then also checking in on the goals.
So each week there's a back to our habits.
There's small goals.
How did that go?
What do we need to change up.
And every weekwe're changing something up.
So this isn't create a planand stick to that where it is every week.
(11:54):
The discussion iswhat do we need to change up
to make it work even better for you?
If if it's working, if it's not working,really, what do we need to change?
Oh, about the pivot in the week.
Absolutely. By yourself available.
I'm sure if people are freaking outso, people can reach out to me via
email or text phone,I hear from people, pretty regularly.
(12:15):
If they're having a horrible day,they can call and say, horrible day.
I woke up, I ate a pieceof chocolate cake, and then I did this.
And now I'm all stressed.
And five minute conversationor a text back and forth.
That's the support.
That's thethe just that that that's what they need
(12:35):
to take the next step to get back on trackto, you know, maybe something
they hadn't even thought of, you know, andand and it gets into we're talking
mostly about the nutrition and foodand some exercise.
It's also take three deep breaths.
Pause. Yes. Relax.
I mean the the science behind three
deep breaths and how it calms
(12:57):
everything in your system,everything in your body.
It's really amazing.
And it works amazing for most people.
Some people go, oh, I hate that stuff.
Yeah, okay.
We're not going to necessarilygo that way.
But but yeah it because they haven'ttried it though potentially.
Right. Yeah.
Right or right or tried it in the rightokay.
No, no I just wanted to ask do peopleprimarily
(13:19):
come to you for weight lossor is it a lifestyle change in general.
So it's great question.
It's all over the place.
Yes I would say majority.
One of their goalsI usually ask for three goals.
What what brought you to me today.
And one is weight loss.
But a lot of people recognize the longterm health.
You know,I'm, I'm I'm 50 something years old
(13:42):
and I'm recognizingthat there's changes happening.
So I want to be sure to, prevent chronic disease in the future.
Yes. My family has high bloodpressure, high cholesterol, diabetes.
You know,they might have some indications of that
or a full blown diagnosis.
But they know they want to do somethingabout it.
(14:04):
And so that.
Yes, to the weight
loss, but it usually comes with 1or 2 other things.
I want to be there for my kids, grandkids,and grandkids.
You know, it could be a very specific
medical condition related to nutritionthat they're coming to talk about.
I so, so it's so peopleI mean, people over there at.
(14:28):
Yes, yes, yes, that would be a big one.
Absolutely.
Because there are people
with diabetes, even type two diabetes,that they're not necessarily overweight.
Right.
Oh it that ranges right.
You have every size and shape a personwith diabetes as well.
And you know, unfortunately oftentimes
(14:48):
they've gotten the advice of go
and eat healthy, eat more fruitsand vegetables and walk more.
And they go, what do I do? Yeah, yeah.
Right, right.You got to give them the GPS.
What?
Fruits and vegetables and what, whatwhat do you. Yeah.
And do I walk really fast and do I,you know it's that's that's the build up
(15:09):
and the details that we get into, to seewhat would work best for someone.
Oh, you are so needed.
You are really are.
And the thing is,I found out when I was training people to
if they would, you know, kind ofgive up on themselves once in a while.
I would go back to the reasonwhy you go back in
a lie will determinehow hard you try. Yes.
And I said, you said before you wantedto be around for your grandkids.
(15:30):
You said you want to have that quality
life so you can get down on the floorand play with your kids, your grandkids.
Right.
So do you still want that?
Yeah, yeah, I do.
Good.
Let's get out there.
Yeah,we're working together. I'm here for you.
And how many times did people hear thatfrom anybody
that I'm here for you a minute. Yeah.
And that's where.
And I think it me, it almost means morewhen it comes from an outsider. Yes.
(15:52):
When you enter in as a professionaland a friend also
because you must become friends with them.Oh, absolutely.
I mean, we end up
spending a lot of time togetherand sharing a lot of, personal things.
Again, it it's the whole person.
You can't you can't just say,go eat this many calories a day
and you'll lose weight and achieveall your goals.
(16:13):
That just doesn't happen that way.
So yeah, we work on a lot of things.
And yes, to your point, I become very goodfriends with a lot of my clients.
It's wonderful dug into their lives and,you know,
there's a potentialfor maybe a spouse even sabotaging.
And that can happen.
Yes. Yes, there is.
And that's that's lifestyle changeand that that's what's hard.
(16:34):
Or you have the person who's,you know, trying to go
shopping and cookingwith a busy, crazy work schedule.
And they have three kids at homewho are really picky eaters. Yes.
Okay. Let's talk about that for a while.
I mean, there's so many aspects to itto right, at least visit and see what
what can be done short term, long term,what can we change up here.
(16:57):
And that's a big partof all the discussions.
But the relationship reallyis so important with everything in life.
Yeah.
I mean, when Joyce and I communicateand talk about the podcast and our shows,
initially we talk about, well,how is your weekend?
You know.
Yeah. How's the how's Matthew doing?Everything going well.
And tell me a little bit about your day,Joyce. Yeah.
And we we open it up with somethingpersonal. Right.
Then we get the businessbecause we're friends first. Right.
(17:18):
And it helps us develop a betterrelationship and a better podcast.
And sometimeswe don't even get to the podcast.
I know, because we're talking about
because we really enjoyeach other's company, you know?
And the thing is, I get that sensejust knowing you for the short time
I felt really comfortable with with you
when I met with you in the coffeeshop, this this woman really cares.
And we developed the relationshipand is part of our tribe.
(17:40):
You're part of our training.
You for our team, I am I'm nowpart of the team that makes me happy.
But, you know,when you talked about people
not knowing, like, what to eat, it'sso reminded me of my my son,
who doesn't live with me on his own.
And periodically he has diabetes.
And periodically he would say to me,as I'm busy doing things,
(18:00):
he'd say, I don't know what to eat.
And I and I would look up and say,what do you mean
you don't know what to eat?
You just eat healthy.
And he says,but I don't know what that means, right?
You know,and he said that long enough that
I finally had a deep conversationwith him.
And like you said about reading labelsand not eating on the fly
(18:22):
and just grabbing something,prepare your meals in advance.
Right?
And you think about a whole nother topic.
This is like another podcast someday.
All the misinformation out there,people are bombarded.
So I don't know what to eat.
Well, no kidding,
you're told to buy this supplementand this one and be sure and do this.
And there's science behind it,but only in this supplement.
(18:44):
It's the only one in the universethat'll help you with A, B, and C.
It's like, oh my gosh,as soon as those words are coming
out of someone's mouth, right.
You know, oh yeah, it'swe can dismiss that and look to
what is the practical, simple,everyday approach to that.
So yeah, I,I don't promote any, any brands
(19:07):
or anything along those linesbecause back to the customization.
It's all about you.
Yes. It's okay
if you take a multivitamin and, andsome other things that are good for you.
I'm not saying all supplements are bad,not at all.
But it has to work for you.
And ideallyit's not coming from the masses.
(19:28):
And the misinformation is a lot of yes,we need to do a whole show
about misinformation.Yes. Yeah, a lot of it.
I think in general, so much information.
That's why a lot of people don't startor they give up.
They, like you said, you keep it simple,but everything contradicts everything
it does.
And and as soon as you read an article andsay, okay, now I feel good, I understand
I understand the importance of fiberand protein, okay, that's
(19:51):
what I'm going to go to.
And somebody goes, no,that's not important, right.
Don't eat fruit or something like that.
Oh my gosh, I know it is so.
And I feel for people. It is so confusing.
It is so yeah that'swhere you make sense of it all.
Yeah. Now how do you feel aboutsince we're in the New Year resolutions.
Do do you doyou subscribe to that yourself personally?
(20:14):
Yes and no. I think they're fun.
However resolutions
that approach to again
on January 1st,I am going to not have any more alcohol
after that New Year's party,and I'm going to eat perfectly
and I'm going to exercise every day.
(20:37):
That plan, I can't imagine the statistics.
I'm thinking one out of something like thelottery numbers that are out there now,
Jillian,you're setting yourself up for failure.
You are completely setting yourself andand that's all we know to do
is to say, yep,I'm going to get or the big broad term I'm
going to get healthy in the new yearand I'm going to lose 50 pounds.
How are you going to do that? Right.
(20:57):
What's your plan?
So so Linda, that's the plan.
That's right.That's right. There you go. Yeah.
There's the plan for free.Yes. No, really.
Because people really do need guidance.
They do need help on that.
And, you know,I just think of so many people that I know
that did exactly what you said.
The other thing is,
(21:19):
I think people need to
be in a mindset,you know, you fool the brain.
So when when I lost weightand gave up smoking and gave up drinking,
I just innately knew to say
to myself, I love this.
I love the way I feel.
And I really didn't,you know, in that moment.
But I would just say, I just love, you know, whatever I was eating.
(21:43):
And if I had a glass of waterinstead of a glass of wine,
nobody knewit really at a party or anything.
And I would feel so goodthat I didn't have a hangover.
I didn't have that high sugarfeeling in my body.
Yeah, but I would say to myself,I love this.
And you know what?
I eventually did?
(22:04):
And it came pretty quickly.
And you make a good point.
You have someone's goal is to stopdrinking, lose X amount of pounds.
They think that's the ultimate goal.
Somewhere in the midst of workingwith people after a month
to a little bit more, maybe they kind of
have the revelation of I feel really good.
(22:27):
You know, when we startthe conversation of how was your week?
How are you feeling?
I feel good, and they are shocked.
They didn't think that was that wasn'tone of their goals to feel good.
Yeah. Yes, of course it's underlying.
Yeah.
But it's still a surprise to people when.
Oh my gosh, I ate a healthy breakfastfor the last month and all of a sudden
I feel good, and I have more energy,and and I don't have the 3:00
(22:49):
in the afternoon crash and burn andand they're they're amazed.
And that makes me really,really happy to see that. Yeah.
That's of course,
that's why we have to hold their hand,especially in the beginning,
because we live in a world, a societywhere everybody wants it yesterday.
Oh, yeah.
You know, I'm going to, you know,
I'm going to be on a good nutritionplan for a day.
Yeah. I've got to look like Mister Americaand this America.
What's in that? Right.
(23:09):
And I see that all the time, Jim.
You know, and I see so many peoplethat are on the treadmill,
and they've been there for years,and they haven't changed.
Yeah. Because their nutrition hasn't. Yes.
That's the good.
Everything starts in the kitchen. Yeah.
Everything starts onevery does it it does it does it really.
That that is the large percentage of,of what I do.
(23:31):
And and people in general being healthy iswhat do you put in your body?
I mean that's the thing
you're so glad you're saying thisbecause this is something I've been saying
to people like in my little tightinner circle of friends,
that I heardsomeone say that once that over 90%
of what our body looks like, it'snot in the exercise, it's in what you eat.
(23:55):
But I know these people who exercise
all the time, like crazy,but their body is not changing.
But in your mind,they feel like they did something.
And an exercise.
Yes. Wonderful. It has huge benefits.
But yes, to your pointthat for the person who says
I'm I'm 40 something years old,I want to drop that last 10 pounds.
(24:18):
It's a lot about the food.
It's a huge amountand it's being consistent.
Very.
Yes, very much so, being consistent.
But we're still going to give ourselvesthat grace of you can be consistent
and I was going to saya moment ago, to your point, John,
people also want to
lose 20 pounds in ten daysbecause they've heard
(24:42):
that they've been bombardedwith that on TV and on.
Obviously,all the social media is, I can do that.
I want to get ready for the prom,the wedding, the this, the that, the life
event.
And I am going to drop a ton of weight,
in a very short amount of timeand still think that that's okay.
I mean, it's the most oneof the most unhealthy things you could do.
(25:05):
Your body is so confusedand just screaming for.
Yes, you know, some, some thingsit's going to need in that process.
But yeah. Yeah.
And there's no such thing as a dietanyway.
Diet is basically, you know, it'sjust it's just not a good thing.
It's got to be a lifestyle.You and I both know the
diet implies a start date and an end date.
Well, as soon as you end it,if it was weight you wanted to lose
(25:28):
the weight, it's going to come back. On.
If it's that you did more exerciseand now you're not, you're lean.
Muscle mass is going to go away.
So so where was the diet part of it.
This is adopt new habits.
And and yeah I would never say I was,you know, never use the word diet. No.
Oh for di.
Yeah.
Well that's all right. Yes.
(25:50):
You're right.
But I'm, you know, I'm thinkingabout myself and going through that.
I would just say, when someone would sayhad this dessert choice
and maybe I did want it,but I would just say, you know what?
I'm full.I don't really want that right now.
And then my your brain,you know, just registers to your body
and calms it down that I didn't want toor get to the point
(26:13):
where you could havea little forkful of it.
Right.
And it is satisfying if you do that.
Deep breath. Yeah. Relax your paws.
Think about it. Yes.
I have a friendwho who talk about the panic phone call.
You know, I have, this is a few weeks ago.
I have, you know, a party or an event.
(26:35):
Work event.
Those kinds of things for the holidaysevery day this week.
What do I do? Well,
you to your point, when
you're sitting at that big banquet tablewith ten people around it,
that's one of the hardest thingsto not go with the flow.
Everybody gets served their saladat the same time.
(26:55):
The bread basket gets passedwith the butter,
then desserts get passed around.
Everybody gets dessert at onceand everybody's talking and mechanically,
yes, eating.
Ask yourself if that it could it beone of those desserts
that doesn't actually taste very good.
It's one of those just regular old,you know, I don't know,
some white cake and you're like,this isn't even that good, right?
(27:17):
Taste it and say,this is the best thing I've ever eaten.
I'm going to have some of thisor pass on it.
It's not that good.
Right? Right.
And how many people are at their computerand they're just constantly eating snacks
and they're doing it, not even noticingit, watching TV, bingeing
on some Netflix showand just nonstop eating.
When I was counseling people at the gymto, I would say, okay, what did you eat?
(27:39):
Keep a foodjournal, keeps you accountable.
Yeah.
And a lot of times they would justbe eating like that mechanically.
And I've not put that in. Yeah.
So I saidwhat do you eat when you're watching TV?
You say, oh I forgot that,put that in or I had a salad.
But what did you put on the salad.
Oh yeah.
You know those dressingswith croutons, cheese and dressing.
Yes. Two other croutons,whatever it may be.
But but the thing is again,we need to show people grace.
(28:01):
Show them the way, stick with them,not give up on them.
When they give up on themselvesand remind them the reason why
they decide to come to youin the first place, right?
And the why, and give them the tools.
So to your point ofyou end up binge eating at night.
There's steps you can take to literallyput that food out of reach.
(28:22):
Are you going to go get the chairfrom the kitchen table and climb up
to the high cupboard and get that snack,that extra time it takes to do that?
It sounds kind of goofy, but it's not.
Oh, I love that.
I mean, there's an an and again, it'swhatever resonates
with that person's brain.
How does their brain work?
That may be all they need.
Some people mighttake that as a challenge.
(28:44):
And so so we're we're getting downto what works for them
in terms of having those toolsthat are just right for them
to help with those things, in many cases,not bringing them into the house either.
Because if I bring somethinginto the house or going downstairs
or the down the down the hall, notthe street, but the street to a creamery.
Yes. In there, I know it's there.
(29:04):
Yes, I'm with you. Or peanutbutter is my cup tonight. Yeah.
I'll get the organic peanut butter,but I can't just have a spoonful.
My wife looks at me, and I'm like, therewith a spoon, one after another.
Yeah, and that's my Kryptonite.
Yeah,but there's. Then there's the balance.
You're right.
Don't bring in the tons of thingsinto the house.
Yes, but don't deny yourself either.
(29:25):
If it's peanut butter.
Now, let's put those in to single serving.
Whatever. Good idea.
Let's have the peanut butter
with an appleso that you're getting your digesting it.
And, your body's processingas best as it can in a healthy way.
So there's all those thingsand there's just so much of that
(29:46):
that can be incredibly helpful.
Linda, we may have to have an episode twoand this is oh, this is so important.
But everyone I know for a fact,
if I was looking for somebodyto help me with this, I would go too.
Yeah. Me too.
I feel comfortable with you, andyou absolutely should keep things simple.
But tell us a little bitabout how people get in contact with you.
(30:06):
Sure.
So, they can check out the website andI'll have that information that is under.
Yep. Good.
Everything that's out there, they can call me as well.
And really, it's an initial appointmentto sit down.
It's no charge.
It's just, let's get on the phone
or even have a cup of coffeeand talk about what are their goals.
(30:27):
You know what,what would they like to accomplish.
Why are they coming to meand, and and inquiring.

I am Joyce Logan, not from iHeart radio.
(01:26):
And we have a very special guest coming upthat we had a chance to meet.
You know, I did, you know, a couple,couple of months back, facilitate
a cup of coffee, got to know each otherand said, you got to come on our podcast.
She said, yes, I do.
I'm excited about meeting herand talking about,
well, I'm gonna make this official here.
So I, I'm working at the moment,tell everyone, okay, we're really happy to
welcome Linda Hubbard to the show todayas we kick off the new year
(01:47):
with renewed hope for better healthand prosperity in all areas of our life.
Let's face it,getting healthy can feel overwhelming.

Changing longstandinghabits is not easy, and staying motivated
can feel really like it's impossibleat times.
That's where Linda comes in.

which is why everything she doesis personalized

Linda Hubbard, welcome toWhat's Good with John and Joyce.
And I could toss as away.
(02:29):
Thank you. Hey.Oh, happy to be here. Linda.
Oh. This is awesome.
This is awesome.
So, Linda,this has to be a busy time for you.
Will you begin working with people?
So. So, of course, everybody
makes their New Year's resolutions,and usually within.
Definitely within 30 days.
I don't know what the stats are.
(02:50):
Something like 85%.
It all goes by the wayside.
So at that point,not necessarily January 1st,
but at that point people decidethey might like a little bit of help
and they come see me. Right.
So it gets busy and it gets busy.
The first, the first whole quarter.
I mean, you know,as much as I'm pulling the resolutions,
(03:11):
not totally,you know, people take those seriously.
And for the first few months,and then, especially when they start
looking towardsspring is actually going to come someday.
That'swhen it really kicks in as well, right?
And people think about spring.
Give me a little less clothing out therethat noticed social workers
in the wintertime. People are hiding. Yes.
Behind, you know, sweatersand all that type of stuff.
(03:33):
But I remember as a personal trainermyself, Linda too, you know,
you train people in January and you'reright, 3 or 4 weeks to kind of give up on.
Yes they do.
So what I would usually do is say, gosh,you got to give it 90 days.
If you're really serious.And that that's human nature.
Human nature isI mean, it takes time to create a habit.
And that that's what you're doing itnew lifestyle, different habits,
healthy habits. Right.
(03:54):
The it you can't downplay the importanceof the habits.
Yeah.
And and there's there's ways to createa habit that are based in science.
It's not it's not random.
You can do it with a kind of a stepby step process.
That works for your life. Right?
So yeah.
So what would it stepbe to start creating a habit?
(04:17):
You know, I've heard, like, three weeks.
It's, I do, one of my
programs, depending on the individualis, is three months.
Three monthsreally can solidify a new habit
and make it just that, an everyday
or common habit that you've adopted.
But yes, to your point,a couple of weeks of doing something,
(04:41):
one of the main things is to keepit really small and really simple.
So you don't, you know, again, hit January1st and say, I'm going to eat perfectly,
I'm going to exercise every day, and I'mgoing to do this, this, this, and this.
Right. It won't work.
It has to be small.
It's I'm going to eat an extra fruitor vegetable every day this week,
(05:03):
and that's what makes it stick,makes it doable, makes you successful.
Everybody thinks it's willpower.
It's not it's not.
You have to build yourself up to it.
Yeah, it really is.
And the small things,like you said before and celebrating
those little victoriesalong the way as well.
Celebration is a big part of it.
Well, one of my favorite sayingsis inch by inch it's a cinch.
(05:24):
Yard by yard. I like it.
I like so little by littlethe babies are true baby.
So true.
And being encouragingbecause people get beat up every day
in the world and they're a family at work,whatever it may be.
So if we could be that encouraging person
that they look forward to seeingand we're we're going to give them grace.
Absolutely. Because we fall.
You know, I mean, Joyce, youyou keep yourself very fit.
(05:46):
I do, so do you, Linda.
We understand the mentality of this,but it's new for a lot of people.
And we really have to show them love.
Well.
And and they think in terms of perfection.
Yeah.
If I didn't do it perfectly, I bombed it.
Now it's all over.
Oh my gosh. No, that's that's just life.
And then they throw the whole thingout the door.
Right.
Going much out in the potato chipsor whatever.
(06:08):
Right. Okay. We all fall off.We all right?
We all do. And and not even fall off.
You can plan to splurge here.
We you know,you just went through the holidays.
You're going to splurge.And that's a good thing.
Yeah.
I mean, that's fun.
That's so many things.
I know I agree to have Joyce's cookies.
I'm going to splurge on the oldies.
I had them all the Christmas season.
(06:28):
Maybe this first week of January.
I might have a couple more.Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you know.
Oh, happy New Year. Yeah.
You know, you probably heard mesay this before on air, but,
there's, when I worked with a cardiologygroup for people for weight loss,
and I remember this one manwho lost, like, 300 pounds in one year,
and he said he knewhe was on the right track
(06:52):
when he gained 10 poundsand he didn't beat himself up.
And he went right backto doing what he was doing. Yeah.
And the big picture that's goingto happen, that's just going to happen.
You don't I mean my gosh. Yeah.
What are the stats used to be on quittingsmoking.
People try ten times.
It's the 10th time or something like thatthat it works.
(07:12):
Yeah.
And so you have you have to be patientand that's a tough one.
But you have to give yourself grace.
Now, where do you been in the wellnessfield for a long time.
What made you decideto all of a sudden work with people?
You work with peopleall across the country?
I do, don't you?
I do, you know what made you decideto step in this space?
So I, way, way back, going backmany moons.
(07:32):
I was a critical care cardiac nurse.
And and went from,
being in the hospital with patientsto going to, running their cardiac rehab,
so they'd have their heart attack,they'd have their open heart surgery,
and they came to a facility that I ranwith an incredible team of people,
and we would help them learn how toexercise and monitor their exercise.
(07:56):
So they were safe.We had cooking classes.
We had, stress management,all those things that are so important.
And I loved it back then.
That was all encompassing. Loved it.
It was a it was a whole center that did that.
And it was in Philadelphia.
Again,I won't mention the year, but way back
(08:17):
and, and so,so I then went into the corporate world
and into software, but still with,one of the business partners
that my company worked withwas American Heart Association.
So I've been doing this all alongand doing what I do now
with the coaching with friends and familyand colleagues for all those years.
(08:38):
But two years ago,I decided to make it official
and open to your health and as you said,work with people all over the country,
because everything I do, forthe most part, can be done remotely.
But I workwith a lot of local people, too.
And if they want the cooking classand the things in their home and going
grocery shopping and reading labels andall those things that go along with it,
(09:00):
those are options.
And you help them out with all of that.Absolutely.
That is that is terrific.
And Linda,you can work with people online.
Right.
So everything I doessentially the program, is meeting
with people week to weekfirst assessing all kinds of things.
I mean, their life style.
If I can't go tell you to go eat
(09:21):
these five foods,if you hate those foods, talk about right.
You know, setting yourself up for defeat.
So I'm going to assess what is what'syour lifestyle, your work, your home life.
Are you doing the shopping?Are you doing the cooking?
All of the medical historythat that people would like to share.
I'm not working as a medical professional,in this capacity.
(09:43):
But if they're comfortable sharing,I want to know everything
because that that's going to fitinto their customized plan.
And that's that's great
because it's about the relationshipand finding out what they do.
And when.
I would train peoplethe same, same way, Joyce, I would say,
what are you trying to accomplishwith this? Right.
What's your goals?What's your number one goal for me?
I want to train you a different waywith your core.
If you're a powerlifter or if you'rea football player, you need explosion.
(10:06):
I want to help them with their squatsin their lower body.
So it's all about that.The need will provide.
The lead can always listeningall the time. That's
why God gave us two ears, right?
Listen, it's not about us,it's about them.
And I love what you're doing,but I love that
you help them with reading the ingredientsin the shopping and all.
Course, it's it's it'snot going to be able to last, you know,
again I can learn about them and give themI here's a bunch of foods
(10:28):
you might want to like and try and and and see how it works for you.
But then eventuallythey're going to be on their own
and they're going to pick up a food andsay, I wonder if this is healthy for me.
And we keep it.
Everything I do is not only customizedto that person, but really simple.
I take it down to the most simple.
It's not.
It's not the scientific behind the scenes.
(10:49):
Everything I doand share is based in science, but
I really work with them so that reading alabel is not a big production.
It's glance and see if there's 50ingredients or three.
You make the comment, there you go.
Yes, yes, you need to make that simple.
So how often do people check in with youonce they start a program with you?
So, like I said that
(11:11):
again, customized programs,but one of the programs is three months.
And, and the basis of that is meetingonce a week,
either online, in person,wherever they'd like to meet.
And, that's usually for 45 minutes or so.
And we really do a touch base.
How is how are things going?How is your week?
(11:33):
How are you feeling?
Yeah. What what's new this week?
And then also checking in on the goals.
So each week there's a back to our habits.
There's small goals.
How did that go?
What do we need to change up.
And every weekwe're changing something up.
So this isn't create a planand stick to that where it is every week.
(11:54):
The discussion iswhat do we need to change up
to make it work even better for you?
If if it's working, if it's not working,really, what do we need to change?
Oh, about the pivot in the week.
Absolutely. By yourself available.
I'm sure if people are freaking outso, people can reach out to me via
email or text phone,I hear from people, pretty regularly.
(12:15):
If they're having a horrible day,they can call and say, horrible day.
I woke up, I ate a pieceof chocolate cake, and then I did this.
And now I'm all stressed.
And five minute conversationor a text back and forth.
That's the support.
That's thethe just that that that's what they need
(12:35):
to take the next step to get back on trackto, you know, maybe something
they hadn't even thought of, you know, andand and it gets into we're talking
mostly about the nutrition and foodand some exercise.
It's also take three deep breaths.
Pause. Yes. Relax.
I mean the the science behind three
deep breaths and how it calms
(12:57):
everything in your system,everything in your body.
It's really amazing.
And it works amazing for most people.
Some people go, oh, I hate that stuff.
Yeah, okay.
We're not going to necessarilygo that way.
But but yeah it because they haven'ttried it though potentially.
Right. Yeah.
Right or right or tried it in the rightokay.
No, no I just wanted to ask do peopleprimarily
(13:19):
come to you for weight lossor is it a lifestyle change in general.
So it's great question.
It's all over the place.
Yes I would say majority.
One of their goalsI usually ask for three goals.
What what brought you to me today.
And one is weight loss.
But a lot of people recognize the longterm health.
You know,I'm, I'm I'm 50 something years old
(13:42):
and I'm recognizingthat there's changes happening.
So I want to be sure to, prevent chronic disease in the future.
Yes. My family has high bloodpressure, high cholesterol, diabetes.
You know,they might have some indications of that
or a full blown diagnosis.
But they know they want to do somethingabout it.
(14:04):
And so that.
Yes, to the weight
loss, but it usually comes with 1or 2 other things.
I want to be there for my kids, grandkids,and grandkids.
You know, it could be a very specific
medical condition related to nutritionthat they're coming to talk about.
I so, so it's so peopleI mean, people over there at.
(14:28):
Yes, yes, yes, that would be a big one.
Absolutely.
Because there are people
with diabetes, even type two diabetes,that they're not necessarily overweight.
Right.
Oh it that ranges right.
You have every size and shape a personwith diabetes as well.
And you know, unfortunately oftentimes
(14:48):
they've gotten the advice of go
and eat healthy, eat more fruitsand vegetables and walk more.
And they go, what do I do? Yeah, yeah.
Right, right.You got to give them the GPS.
What?
Fruits and vegetables and what, whatwhat do you. Yeah.
And do I walk really fast and do I,you know it's that's that's the build up
(15:09):
and the details that we get into, to seewhat would work best for someone.
Oh, you are so needed.
You are really are.
And the thing is,I found out when I was training people to
if they would, you know, kind ofgive up on themselves once in a while.
I would go back to the reasonwhy you go back in
a lie will determinehow hard you try. Yes.
And I said, you said before you wantedto be around for your grandkids.
(15:30):
You said you want to have that quality
life so you can get down on the floorand play with your kids, your grandkids.
Right.
So do you still want that?
Yeah, yeah, I do.
Good.
Let's get out there.
Yeah,we're working together. I'm here for you.
And how many times did people hear thatfrom anybody
that I'm here for you a minute. Yeah.
And that's where.
And I think it me, it almost means morewhen it comes from an outsider. Yes.
(15:52):
When you enter in as a professionaland a friend also
because you must become friends with them.Oh, absolutely.
I mean, we end up
spending a lot of time togetherand sharing a lot of, personal things.
Again, it it's the whole person.
You can't you can't just say,go eat this many calories a day
and you'll lose weight and achieveall your goals.
(16:13):
That just doesn't happen that way.
So yeah, we work on a lot of things.
And yes, to your point, I become very goodfriends with a lot of my clients.
It's wonderful dug into their lives and,you know,
there's a potentialfor maybe a spouse even sabotaging.
And that can happen.
Yes. Yes, there is.
And that's that's lifestyle changeand that that's what's hard.
(16:34):
Or you have the person who's,you know, trying to go
shopping and cookingwith a busy, crazy work schedule.
And they have three kids at homewho are really picky eaters. Yes.
Okay. Let's talk about that for a while.
I mean, there's so many aspects to itto right, at least visit and see what
what can be done short term, long term,what can we change up here.
(16:57):
And that's a big partof all the discussions.
But the relationship reallyis so important with everything in life.
Yeah.
I mean, when Joyce and I communicateand talk about the podcast and our shows,
initially we talk about, well,how is your weekend?
You know.
Yeah. How's the how's Matthew doing?Everything going well.
And tell me a little bit about your day,Joyce. Yeah.
And we we open it up with somethingpersonal. Right.
Then we get the businessbecause we're friends first. Right.
(17:18):
And it helps us develop a betterrelationship and a better podcast.
And sometimeswe don't even get to the podcast.
I know, because we're talking about
because we really enjoyeach other's company, you know?
And the thing is, I get that sensejust knowing you for the short time
I felt really comfortable with with you
when I met with you in the coffeeshop, this this woman really cares.
And we developed the relationshipand is part of our tribe.
(17:40):
You're part of our training.
You for our team, I am I'm nowpart of the team that makes me happy.
But, you know,when you talked about people
not knowing, like, what to eat, it'sso reminded me of my my son,
who doesn't live with me on his own.
And periodically he has diabetes.
And periodically he would say to me,as I'm busy doing things,
(18:00):
he'd say, I don't know what to eat.
And I and I would look up and say,what do you mean
you don't know what to eat?
You just eat healthy.
And he says,but I don't know what that means, right?
You know,and he said that long enough that
I finally had a deep conversationwith him.
And like you said about reading labelsand not eating on the fly
(18:22):
and just grabbing something,prepare your meals in advance.
Right?
And you think about a whole nother topic.
This is like another podcast someday.
All the misinformation out there,people are bombarded.
So I don't know what to eat.
Well, no kidding,
you're told to buy this supplementand this one and be sure and do this.
And there's science behind it,but only in this supplement.
(18:44):
It's the only one in the universethat'll help you with A, B, and C.
It's like, oh my gosh,as soon as those words are coming
out of someone's mouth, right.
You know, oh yeah, it'swe can dismiss that and look to
what is the practical, simple,everyday approach to that.
So yeah, I,I don't promote any, any brands
(19:07):
or anything along those linesbecause back to the customization.
It's all about you.
Yes. It's okay
if you take a multivitamin and, andsome other things that are good for you.
I'm not saying all supplements are bad,not at all.
But it has to work for you.
And ideallyit's not coming from the masses.
(19:28):
And the misinformation is a lot of yes,we need to do a whole show
about misinformation.Yes. Yeah, a lot of it.
I think in general, so much information.
That's why a lot of people don't startor they give up.
They, like you said, you keep it simple,but everything contradicts everything
it does.
And and as soon as you read an article andsay, okay, now I feel good, I understand
I understand the importance of fiberand protein, okay, that's
(19:51):
what I'm going to go to.
And somebody goes, no,that's not important, right.
Don't eat fruit or something like that.
Oh my gosh, I know it is so.
And I feel for people. It is so confusing.
It is so yeah that'swhere you make sense of it all.
Yeah. Now how do you feel aboutsince we're in the New Year resolutions.
Do do you doyou subscribe to that yourself personally?
(20:14):
Yes and no. I think they're fun.
However resolutions
that approach to again
on January 1st,I am going to not have any more alcohol
after that New Year's party,and I'm going to eat perfectly
and I'm going to exercise every day.
(20:37):
That plan, I can't imagine the statistics.
I'm thinking one out of something like thelottery numbers that are out there now,
Jillian,you're setting yourself up for failure.
You are completely setting yourself andand that's all we know to do
is to say, yep,I'm going to get or the big broad term I'm
going to get healthy in the new yearand I'm going to lose 50 pounds.
How are you going to do that? Right.
(20:57):
What's your plan?
So so Linda, that's the plan.
That's right.That's right. There you go. Yeah.
There's the plan for free.Yes. No, really.
Because people really do need guidance.
They do need help on that.
And, you know,I just think of so many people that I know
that did exactly what you said.
The other thing is,
(21:19):
I think people need to
be in a mindset,you know, you fool the brain.
So when when I lost weightand gave up smoking and gave up drinking,
I just innately knew to say
to myself, I love this.
I love the way I feel.
And I really didn't,you know, in that moment.
But I would just say, I just love, you know, whatever I was eating.
(21:43):
And if I had a glass of waterinstead of a glass of wine,
nobody knewit really at a party or anything.
And I would feel so goodthat I didn't have a hangover.
I didn't have that high sugarfeeling in my body.
Yeah, but I would say to myself,I love this.
And you know what?
I eventually did?
(22:04):
And it came pretty quickly.
And you make a good point.
You have someone's goal is to stopdrinking, lose X amount of pounds.
They think that's the ultimate goal.
Somewhere in the midst of workingwith people after a month
to a little bit more, maybe they kind of
have the revelation of I feel really good.
(22:27):
You know, when we startthe conversation of how was your week?
How are you feeling?
I feel good, and they are shocked.
They didn't think that was that wasn'tone of their goals to feel good.
Yeah. Yes, of course it's underlying.
Yeah.
But it's still a surprise to people when.
Oh my gosh, I ate a healthy breakfastfor the last month and all of a sudden
I feel good, and I have more energy,and and I don't have the 3:00
(22:49):
in the afternoon crash and burn andand they're they're amazed.
And that makes me really,really happy to see that. Yeah.
That's of course,
that's why we have to hold their hand,especially in the beginning,
because we live in a world, a societywhere everybody wants it yesterday.
Oh, yeah.
You know, I'm going to, you know,
I'm going to be on a good nutritionplan for a day.
Yeah. I've got to look like Mister Americaand this America.
What's in that? Right.
(23:09):
And I see that all the time, Jim.
You know, and I see so many peoplethat are on the treadmill,
and they've been there for years,and they haven't changed.
Yeah. Because their nutrition hasn't. Yes.
That's the good.
Everything starts in the kitchen. Yeah.
Everything starts onevery does it it does it does it really.
That that is the large percentage of,of what I do.
(23:31):
And and people in general being healthy iswhat do you put in your body?
I mean that's the thing
you're so glad you're saying thisbecause this is something I've been saying
to people like in my little tightinner circle of friends,
that I heardsomeone say that once that over 90%
of what our body looks like, it'snot in the exercise, it's in what you eat.
(23:55):
But I know these people who exercise
all the time, like crazy,but their body is not changing.
But in your mind,they feel like they did something.
And an exercise.
Yes. Wonderful. It has huge benefits.
But yes, to your pointthat for the person who says
I'm I'm 40 something years old,I want to drop that last 10 pounds.
(24:18):
It's a lot about the food.
It's a huge amountand it's being consistent.
Very.
Yes, very much so, being consistent.
But we're still going to give ourselvesthat grace of you can be consistent
and I was going to saya moment ago, to your point, John,
people also want to
lose 20 pounds in ten daysbecause they've heard
(24:42):
that they've been bombardedwith that on TV and on.
Obviously,all the social media is, I can do that.
I want to get ready for the prom,the wedding, the this, the that, the life
event.
And I am going to drop a ton of weight,
in a very short amount of timeand still think that that's okay.
I mean, it's the most oneof the most unhealthy things you could do.
(25:05):
Your body is so confusedand just screaming for.
Yes, you know, some, some thingsit's going to need in that process.
But yeah. Yeah.
And there's no such thing as a dietanyway.
Diet is basically, you know, it'sjust it's just not a good thing.
It's got to be a lifestyle.You and I both know the
diet implies a start date and an end date.
Well, as soon as you end it,if it was weight you wanted to lose
(25:28):
the weight, it's going to come back. On.
If it's that you did more exerciseand now you're not, you're lean.
Muscle mass is going to go away.
So so where was the diet part of it.
This is adopt new habits.
And and yeah I would never say I was,you know, never use the word diet. No.
Oh for di.
Yeah.
Well that's all right. Yes.
(25:50):
You're right.
But I'm, you know, I'm thinkingabout myself and going through that.
I would just say, when someone would sayhad this dessert choice
and maybe I did want it,but I would just say, you know what?
I'm full.I don't really want that right now.
And then my your brain,you know, just registers to your body
and calms it down that I didn't want toor get to the point
(26:13):
where you could havea little forkful of it.
Right.
And it is satisfying if you do that.
Deep breath. Yeah. Relax your paws.
Think about it. Yes.
I have a friendwho who talk about the panic phone call.
You know, I have, this is a few weeks ago.
I have, you know, a party or an event.
(26:35):
Work event.
Those kinds of things for the holidaysevery day this week.
What do I do? Well,
you to your point, when
you're sitting at that big banquet tablewith ten people around it,
that's one of the hardest thingsto not go with the flow.
Everybody gets served their saladat the same time.
(26:55):
The bread basket gets passedwith the butter,
then desserts get passed around.
Everybody gets dessert at onceand everybody's talking and mechanically,
yes, eating.
Ask yourself if that it could it beone of those desserts
that doesn't actually taste very good.
It's one of those just regular old,you know, I don't know,
some white cake and you're like,this isn't even that good, right?
(27:17):
Taste it and say,this is the best thing I've ever eaten.
I'm going to have some of thisor pass on it.
It's not that good.
Right? Right.
And how many people are at their computerand they're just constantly eating snacks
and they're doing it, not even noticingit, watching TV, bingeing
on some Netflix showand just nonstop eating.
When I was counseling people at the gymto, I would say, okay, what did you eat?
(27:39):
Keep a foodjournal, keeps you accountable.
Yeah.
And a lot of times they would justbe eating like that mechanically.
And I've not put that in. Yeah.
So I saidwhat do you eat when you're watching TV?
You say, oh I forgot that,put that in or I had a salad.
But what did you put on the salad.
Oh yeah.
You know those dressingswith croutons, cheese and dressing.
Yes. Two other croutons,whatever it may be.
But but the thing is again,we need to show people grace.
(28:01):
Show them the way, stick with them,not give up on them.
When they give up on themselvesand remind them the reason why
they decide to come to youin the first place, right?
And the why, and give them the tools.
So to your point ofyou end up binge eating at night.
There's steps you can take to literallyput that food out of reach.
(28:22):
Are you going to go get the chairfrom the kitchen table and climb up
to the high cupboard and get that snack,that extra time it takes to do that?
It sounds kind of goofy, but it's not.
Oh, I love that.
I mean, there's an an and again, it'swhatever resonates
with that person's brain.
How does their brain work?
That may be all they need.
Some people mighttake that as a challenge.
(28:44):
And so so we're we're getting downto what works for them
in terms of having those toolsthat are just right for them
to help with those things, in many cases,not bringing them into the house either.
Because if I bring somethinginto the house or going downstairs
or the down the down the hall, notthe street, but the street to a creamery.
Yes. In there, I know it's there.
(29:04):
Yes, I'm with you. Or peanutbutter is my cup tonight. Yeah.
I'll get the organic peanut butter,but I can't just have a spoonful.
My wife looks at me, and I'm like, therewith a spoon, one after another.
Yeah, and that's my Kryptonite.
Yeah,but there's. Then there's the balance.
You're right.
Don't bring in the tons of thingsinto the house.
Yes, but don't deny yourself either.
(29:25):
If it's peanut butter.
Now, let's put those in to single serving.
Whatever. Good idea.
Let's have the peanut butter
with an appleso that you're getting your digesting it.
And, your body's processingas best as it can in a healthy way.
So there's all those thingsand there's just so much of that
(29:46):
that can be incredibly helpful.
Linda, we may have to have an episode twoand this is oh, this is so important.
But everyone I know for a fact,
if I was looking for somebodyto help me with this, I would go too.
Yeah. Me too.
I feel comfortable with you, andyou absolutely should keep things simple.
But tell us a little bitabout how people get in contact with you.
(30:06):
Sure.
So, they can check out the website andI'll have that information that is under.
Yep. Good.
Everything that's out there, they can call me as well.
And really, it's an initial appointmentto sit down.
It's no charge.

or even have a cup of coffeeand talk about what are their goals.
(30:27):
You know what,what would they like to accomplish.
Why are they coming to meand, and and inquiring.
And so we talk about what that might looklike for them and, and go from there.
