Jordan Viega is one of the most consistent individuals I’ve ever met in my life. He is a 2x mixed grip pull-ups world record holder and he is currently on pace to set a 3rd world record at the end of the year. Jordan Viega started his journey in the beginning of 2023 to set the records for the most mixed grip pull-ups completed in a month, in six months, and a year. This guy has been hammering over 1000+ (1100 a day) official mixed grip pull-ups a day since the start of the year and by the time this episode is released, he will be doing his pull-ups for 339 days straight. 339 days straight!!. This is over 374,300 pulls-up completed over the year so far!

In this episode, we are going to dive into why Jordan had decided to pursue setting the records for the most pull-ups and the significance of why pull-ups. He is going to share his journey of how he had first approached the Guiness World Book of Records and how he had to transition to other record holder companies for this amazing opportunity. We dive into Why this guy chose pull-ups, out of every other exercises that were available. We also talk about his mission and vision for these records, to promote mental health and the ups and downs he was personally facing in his own life. This is an episode we also dive into Jordan’s journey of growing up and how he had pursued a very similar career path as I had and how he is currently paving his own life. This is an individual I want to see go toe to toe with David Goggins in a pull-up battle as I feel that it would be an incredible and close competition.

Welcome back to the First Generations Podcast. For this episode, we have a returning guest that made his first appearance back in episode 56. In this episode, we talk about spirituality and how it has played an incredible and critical role in Joe's life. We dive into acceptance of pain, surrendering, fear, faith, the difference between fear and faith, and how these have also played a role in Joe's resilience. We also share Joe's mission and his current endeavours to help the millions around the world that are ready to make a change in their life.

When it comes to life’s ups and downs, Joe Rivera has been there and done that. He went from earning 7 figures a year to losing it all while hitting rock-bottom after battling substance abuse. As a result of achieving sobriety and happiness, our guest has bounced back and is hitting the ground running. Based on what he learned from rock-bottom and on his upward path to success, he’s created a road map that empowers top-earning professionals who are feeling exhausted and powerless. His system uses simple steps to align an individual’s mind, body, soul, and finances to achieve ultimate productivity and fulfillment.

Our guest was inspired to become a life coach and a motivational speaker simply because he knows what it’s like to hit a wall of exhaustion and lack of direction. He knows that there are millions of people out there that have their own personal struggles and are going through something similar to what he went through. His goal is to empower individuals across the nation to use their own resilience to make their own comeback story.

Episode 63 is released!!!! Finding Fulfillment Beyond Social Norms: A Journey from Denmark to Rwanda with Sales Expert, Rebecca Hanson.

Join us as we explore the incredible story of Rebecca Hansen, a successful Sales Messaging Strategist. From growing up in a stable and comfortable environment in Denmark, Rebecca shares her story of how she ended up in Rwanda and how she went from going to study Asian Business and Mandarin to transitioning to the Sales industry. In this episode, we talk about how a formal "cookie cutter" mold doesn't apply to everyone in our world and the potential impacts to individuals that are too comfortable. We talk about the relationships with food, societal standards, norms, and most importantly, our relationships with ourselves. Rebecca also shares how her life started to fold and pivot into living a more fulfilled and happier life when she started working internally instead of externally.

Rebecca Hansen currently resides in the country of Rwanda and was born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark. She is an expert sales consultant with her extensive knowledge and focus on the psychology of sales communication. Growing up in Denmark was an environment with a focus on stability and a checklist of arbitrary goals, social norms, trending standards, and achievements of success defined externally; These of which didn’t align with our guest’s inner compass. She pursued an education in Asian Business and Mandarin and eventually took a leap of faith and followed her intuition, leaving behind an environment of stability and building a life full of presence, intention, and fulfillment. I am proud to have her on this episode to share her story, her perspectives, her expertise, and some of the experiences she had to overcome in order to live her life on her own terms.
