Even as a journalist it's not everyday you get to interview an Olympian... let alone a three time Olympian, two time silver medal winning Olympian, but that is the situation I found myself in recently! I came away from my interview with Juan Miguel Moreno empowered to talk to more people who have achieved amazing accomplishments. 

Juan's message of personal excellence can be one that you can learn from whether it's your own professional goals or those that you hope your children will accomplish.  

If you want to hear some advice on achieving personal success- this podcast is for you.

If you want to be a better parent of a student athlete- this podcast is for you.

If you ever wondered what it's like to be an Olympian- this podcast is for you.

If you've ever wondered how to overcome a perceived failure- this podcast is for you!

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

Slow Cooker Mistakes

  I was immediately caught by this article on Yahoo Food. We use a slow cooker evey week, many times twice a week. It's the best appliance for a busy family. I actually had to upgrade my slow cooker because I learned not all of them are created equally. Now- I don't burn or over cook my meals--- but I did before!

The biggest takeawy was one that is also likely to save me... and you... some money!

The author said buy those tougher, more affordable meats! The more tender foods- like fish- will break down quicker. You can't put salmon in a crock pot for the day and come home to a good meal. It will likely be over cooked and even  burnt.

So- when shopping think about- brisket (my favorite), pot roasts, short plate and flank, chuck, round cuts, round and shank.
