Grow My GRIT podcast episode 27: Who Goes from Math Major to Music Maker 🤔?

Jim Spirou! That’s who!

Try to keep up as Jim explains how his GRIT laid the foundation for his extraordinary journey from Actuary to Music Store Franchisee to Night Club Owner to Music Maker and Educator.

Along the way, he went from dropping ‘shoulds’ and ‘should haves’ to dropping beats with a focus on electronic music 🎶🎵🎶.

Jim’s adventures make it crystal clear that when it comes to choosing a career, sometimes the most important rhythm to settle into is the beat of your own heart.

It's #FunFactsFriday 🥳

1 - I doubled my time in the water at this week's cold plunge so the video is too long for a reel 😂🤣😂. I was in for just over 2 minutes 👏🏾.

2 - I'm not actually a water person but I'm usually the first one to take the plunge 🤪. I had the whole lake to myself for a bit which was pretty cool 🤩.

3 - Air is my favourite element and I've always been blown away by the fact that it's invisible so we can only see its effects 🌬️🤯. There was nooooo wind this week which made it a VERY different cold plunge than last week's Winter Wonderland 🌨️.

4 - The first poem I memorized was "Who Has Seen the Wind?" by Christina Rossetti because she totally captured my fascination with the wind even though she died before I was born. Ask me to recite it next time we cross paths!

5 - We had an audience this time! There was a woman walking her dog who watched us in total disbelief. At the end of the video, I explained to her that this is our kind of crazy @pycoakville 🤸🏾‍♀️

I figured that a separate post would be safer than trying to edit my other one 🤦🏾‍♀️.

November is Children's Grief Awareness month and this beautiful community art project at Trafalgar Park Community Centre in Oakville highlights the importance of supporting children and youth who have lost loved ones 💔.

Next time you're in Oakville, be sure to stop by and see it for yourself!

Many thanks to @lighthousegrief and @waldeninternationalschool for this inspiring, enlightening exhibit 🙏🏾.

How Can Mentoring Move Mountains?

Over the last 30 years, @ericahollingdrake has called on the same GRIT which carried her from a 5’ 4” guard on the basketball court to a community leader with an unwavering heart for activating the potential in others.

In this inspiring GRIT chat, she offers solid advice and encouragement for anyone who has dreamed of empowering women in their community.

Through the @mentoringmoms program she co-founded in 2017, Erica spearheaded an initiative that turned mountains of uncertainty and doubt into mountains of possibility.

For the women who served as mentors, the program alleviated the mountain of uncertainty about their ability to contribute to another woman’s personal and professional development.

For the women being mentored, the program shifted the mountain of self-doubt that complete strangers would invest time and energy to support their growth.

It’s the “Who Knew?” edition of #FunFactsFriday 🤯

1 - On October 30th, I’ll be leading my 23rd workshop at a Power Yoga Canada studio even though I had zero intention of ever becoming a yoga teacher 🤸🏾‍♀️! I’ve had the privilege of hosting workshops @pycoakville @pycmississauga @burlingtonpyc

2 - On October 31st, I’ll be celebrating the 3rd anniversary of Gritty Guru Company even though I had zero intention of ever running my own business 🥳!

3 - At some point in November, I’m going to open this box of gadgets and level-up my social media posts even though I had zero intention of ever creating content for the internet on a regular basis 🤪.

Have you had a “Who knew?” experience this month? I’d love to hear about it!

Who knows what’s next for me 🤔???

I did a private inversions workshop yesterday afternoon with a 64-year-old woman who did her very first Tripod Headstand EVER and she held it off the wall while I was several feet away recording the whole thing 🥳.

She was SHOCKED by the strength of her core and she didn’t actually believe it had happened until she saw herself in the video 🤪.

She’s always imagined herself as being too weak and too old to start playing with inversions let alone hold an inversion. Yesterday she woke up to the fact that he belongs upside-down and really enjoys the feeling 🤸🏾‍♀️.

Do you spend a lot of time imagining that you’re not enough of one thing or too much of another thing 🤔?

Let today be the day you do something hard or scary for the first time and collect experiences/evidence from reality instead of collecting stories/lies from your ego 👍🏾.
