Pro You Podcast

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom was in a very good place while he recorded this episode. He is very at peace with PYP and his decision to get to 500 and take a break. He has also healed physically from his injuries and 2026 is feeling good! One of Tom's biggest lessons of personal growth is recognizing our minds are prediction machines. Your mind will come up with story after story. Put in the time and effort to create the space in o...

Hello and happy Thursday! Another year comes to an end and another PYP episode reflecting on the past year. 2025 began with Tom having an injury and it ended with Tom having an injury. But in no way has Tom attached meaning to either. It was another year of Tom becoming a better version of himself. One thing Tom has found sustainable. Tom looks back and highlights some of the moving moments of 2025 with his client stories, Zen stor...

Hello and happy Thursday! Simply put, this was a feel-good episode for Tom to record. No thought about 'what to share', 'will PYP continue', 'how long of a break'; just Tom's heart being full. A lot of people talk about 'starting' something and never do. Or start, and at the first hurdle they quit. Tom's approaching 500 episodes that he has recorded for over a decade - where's the bad? Tom has always said/felt 'if he affects one pe...

Hello and happy Thursday! A deep dive for Tom this episode. Tom shares his current thoughts on PYP and where he is along his journey of personal growth. Reality hit as he began to record - "not everything is truly up to us" - thus, acceptance of reality is key. He shares what life is like now that it has become quieter. Tom shares a few profound moments he has experienced lately. And those are the moments that Tom has while trainin...

Hello and happy Thursday! Another episode of PYP is up and ready to be listened to (Link in BIO) and Tom had a lot to share. Are things 'good' or 'bad' and why do we have to categorize them, label them? There's a story Tom has shared multiple times with the moral being 'We'll See'. If you asked Tom about the most profound, moving, life changing moments he's experienced, every one he would share began as a 'bad' thing. So it's gotta...

Hello and happy Thursday! Yes, it's been a minute. But Tom is consistently doing one thing: he's doing Tom. Right, wrong, good or bad, Tom has the clarity to choose wisely what he does and doesn't do, in lieu of how others may feel about his choices. Which would be his advice to the listeners - do you! Tom was a different version a decade ago when he began PYP. As one changes, grows, evolves, the things one looks at changes. How yo...

Hello and happy Thursday! First and foremost, Tom did not get a new dog. But he has an amazing story about a dog he met named Buddha. That, combined with a book he received for his birthday, are having a real impact on Tom's Pro You journey. The main reason for this episode was due to an email story Tom received from one half of the dynamic duo that is The Canadian Assassins! And to bring it all around full circle, Tom discusses th...

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom openly admitted the last two episodes of PYP were a bit uncomfortable to record. There was darkness in Tom's world as well as the real world and although Tom found the light - it was not all 'feel good'. March was when the darkness lifted and clarity landed upon Tom's path. With that, his health and Zen's health were doing great and gratitude was alive and well along Tom's path. Finding the light consi...

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom is very thankful to be 'here now' with PYP and it's Ten Year Anniversary! One fact truly sets the tone for this episode; Tom recorded it and then accidentally erased it. Now that comes with the knowledge that Tom has been 'in it' for awhile; searching for the light within the storm. So it took Tom a week to re-record this episode. "What's behind this mountain you're climbing? More mountains!" is a quot...

Hello and happy Thursday! There's a lot of bad in the world. There has always been bad in the world. So how do we navigate our lives, our Pro You paths, in lieu of the bad? Tom has mentioned the donut and the hole before - "You cannot get a donut without a hole" - no one gets a life without suffering. So there's the "Storm" and the "Light": that which is created by your effort. What Is in your control is what serves you, and what w...

Hello and happy Thursday! A lot has been going on for Tom in 2025. A lot has been going on in California in 2025. A secret to no one what devastation has occurred throughout Los Angeles. So many people losing everything, so incredibly sad. Can you believe Tom has a very Pro You story describing his personal experience with the fires? Well, he does. And this was solid proof that what Tom had described in the last episode about exper...

Hello, happy Thursday and Happy New year. In lieu of when this episode came out, it is the official last episode of 2024. And yes, PYP has gone Latin! One of the takeaways from this past year was 'it's not how it begins, it's how it ends'. It seems like every year has its challenges and like most, Tom has his. But Tom was aware that he was doing better in moments than he had in the past; he felt real growth in some challenging area...

Hello and happy Thursday! The second half of this episode's title: "Is not about you being comfortable". It is truly the Hero's Journey. One leaves what is familiar and faces the unknown, uncertain and unfamiliar. While on this path one will find consistent discomfort. That is why one grows along this path. It is a path of personal growth. Tom had quite a few sticky notes but not a consistent theme. Then Tom got a new client and th...

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom has consistently taken notes; plans out and organizes the info before he records a podcast. The title "A Test" is about the physical and mental test Tom has experienced the past two months. His next choice also became a bit of a test. He awoke on Sunday morning and decided to record a podcast sharing the story but he hadn't taken any notes - no sticky notes. In the past, Tom used to just grab the mic a...

Hello and happy Thursday! The title is from a dear friend that Tom chats with frequently. They kept passing it back and forth and pretty soon Tom had shared it with clients. It was truly resonating. So Tom asked for his friend's permission to use it as the title and permission was granted! When someone is on a Pro You path of personal growth, they are on the lookout for tools, steps, doorways, new grooves, anything and everything t...

Hello and happy Thursday! Well, it has been a month since we've last heard from the Canadian Assassin's Niko and Kosta, so Tom thought what a great excuse to check in with the dynamic duo and see how they are doing after just over a month of finishing their four week intensive challenge. Well, when Tom received an email from Niko just two hours before their meeting for Part Six stating they were both excited and they had stories to...

Hello and happy Thursday! It feels like Tom has done a lot of episodes recently. Well, it's because he has! He's hoping that's a good thing! The flexibility Tom gave himself to simply record a PYP episode when he felt he had something of meaning to share also allowed him to be open to the possibility of having more to share - which means more episodes. This episode is almost a Part 2 of the previous episode. It picks up exactly whe...

Hello and happy Thursday! Never before has Tom had an experience recording a PYP episode as he did this episode. Tom was originally excited to share some big news - "A Canadian Experience Part VI" is coming SOON! Tom kept collecting sticky notes waiting till he had enough for a full episode. Tom feels a funk come on but wakes up and has an amazing experience. So much so it's plenty to share and Tom gets excited to record. The morni...

Hello and happy Thursday! It feels like it's been awhile for Tom, well, because it has! Tom's podcast was taken over by Canadian Assassins! For the past whole month! And Tom already misses them! Tom reflects on the 'Canadian Experience' and shares what it meant to him. Tom also shares another podcast where he listened twice and took notes on it. Tom is also enjoying the book he's reading and shares what is resonating and why. Lastl...
