Burritos are measured in grams (who knew?) and in this episode, Chris brought a scale to weigh each burrito, with some coming in over one pound. Michelle chooses her burrito first and after a lot of rustling of paper and a few seconds of silent enjoyment, the team discusses the various fillings, types of tortillas, and even the history of al pastor meat. Mitch gives an in-depth Spanish lesson when he informs everyone that burrito means little donkey.
Putting aside their tortilla-wrapped goodness, Mitch introduces Michelle and immediately asks if grunting is acceptable in the gym. Michelle gives a brief overview of CrossFit, her history of owning a CrossFit gym and her current work with all-female gym, FemFit, in Redding, CA.
Michelle talks about how her journey began after the birth of her son and her struggle with postpartum depression. She also cites the sudden loss of her brother and her body’s refusal to go any further without dealing with the issues at hand as the origin of her trek to where she is today.
The group discusses how healthy organizations come from healthy leaders and moving a passion into a profession. Michelle says she wanted others to experience the same mind and body transformation that she experienced. Mitch goes on to speak about authoritative experts and the passions they tend to bring by leading people to their own, personal potentials.
Michelle defines a new word for the team when she says she learned the art of "peopling" from her mentor, starting with ditching the one-size-fits-all attitude and Chris asks her about continued motivation of others. Michelle says, “The experience matters,” and gives examples from her retail sales experiences.
The conversation turns to surface goals versus deep goals and the theory of self-confidence as currency. Mitch quotes Aaron Hayes saying, “People replicate what you celebrate.”
Finally, the group mulls over the ideas of coaches needing coaches, redemptive leadership over transactional leadership, and who should benefit from the leader-leadee relationship.
