    Episode 128 - Finding America's Greatest Champion with Terry Iverson
    Nov 25 2025
    What if the path to a stable, meaningful, and lucrative career wasn't found in a four year university, but in a hands on craft that's been powering America for more than a century? And what if the biggest productivity hack you're missing is actually mentorship, not better software? In this episode of the Productivity Smarts Podcast, host Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Terry Iverson, founder of ChampionNow, lifelong manufacturing leader, and author of Finding America's Greatest Champions and Inspiring Champions in Advanced Manufacturing. With his family marking 100 years in manufacturing, Terry brings a refreshing and deeply human perspective on the future of skilled work, productivity, and purpose. Terry shares how he almost walked away from his family's legacy, the pivotal push that set him on a 45 year manufacturing career, and why he believes the trades are not just viable but essential in the age of AI and global uncertainty. He and Gerald explore the hidden opportunities in modern manufacturing, the return on education that most young adults overlook, and why mindset, curiosity, and integrity matter more than degrees. From apprenticeship to diversity in the workforce to using ADHD as a superpower, this conversation is packed with practical insights on building a meaningful career, staying productive, and elevating others along the way. It's a timely, inspiring reminder that America still needs makers, mentors, and champions. What We Discuss [00:00] Introduction to Terry Iverson [04:30] The importance of manufacturing in the U.S. [05:31] Mentoring and coaching in manufacturing [18:56] Benefits of mentoring for both mentor and mentee [21:37] Underrepresented groups in manufacturing [22:45] Terry's personal productivity strategies [28:12] Giving back and community impact [30:14] Life lessons from sports and coaching [31:10] Future productivity habits and organizational practices [33:28] The need for lifelong learning and agility [34:36] Humility and continuous improvement [36:05] How to connect with Terry Iverson and Champion Now Notable Quotes [07:25] "One of the biggest skills my dad taught me was pivoting and seeing the hope in anything that presents itself to you." — Terry Iverson [08:05] "Manufacturing is sitting in the shadows waiting for you to realize there are opportunities there." — Terry Iverson [10:50] "After 12 years, there's a $250,000 difference between the financial outcome of a two-year technical degree and a four-year degree." — Terry Iverson [15:32] "Mentoring and coaching is like being in the HOV lane of life." — Terry Iverson [21:33] "People of color are very underrepresented in our industry, and it's not that either the female gender or people of color are making a choice, they just don't know." — Terry Iverson [24:19] "I flipped my ADHD inside out and realized it was actually a core competency, not a disability." — Terry Iverson [34:49] "I always ask myself every day, what am I missing? We're all missing something no matter how good we are. But every time I've done that, I become more productive and more efficient." — Terry Iverson Resources Terry Iverson Website – championnow.org Email – terry@championnow.org Books – Finding America's Greatest Champions, Inspiring Champions in Advanced Manufacturing YouTube – ChampionNow LinkedIn – Terry Iverson Productivity Smarts Podcast Website - productivitysmartspodcast.com Gerald J.

  • Episode 126 - Cracking Your Calorie Code with PJ Glassey

    Episode 126 - Cracking Your Calorie Code with PJ Glassey
    Nov 4 2025

    What if getting fit didn't mean spending hours at the gym but just 21 minutes, twice a week? And what if the real secret to lasting health wasn't about your body at all, but about rewiring your brain?

    In this episode of the Productivity Smarts Podcast, host Gerald J. Leonard chats with PJ Glassey, fitness innovator and author of Cracking Your Calorie Code (Version 2). PJ shares how his breakthrough 21-minute workout combines endurance and strength training to create real, lasting results without the bulk or burnout of traditional routines. His method focuses on Complete Muscle Fatigue, helping you get stronger, leaner, and more energized in a fraction of the time.

    But as PJ explains, true transformation starts in the mind. He breaks down how our "toddler-like" subconscious runs the show and how we can retrain it using powerful brain tools like visualization, tapping (EFT), and mindful movement. Add in habits like clean eating and intermittent fasting, and you've got a roadmap for better focus, more energy, and deeper well-being.

    It's a refreshing, practical take on fitness that proves when your brain and body work together, productivity and life itself just feel easier.

    Notable Quotes

    • [12:30] "if you're just doing endurance training, the muscle cells want to get smaller, to bring the capillaries closer to the nucleus. So that's why marathon runners look emaciated and power lifters are jacked." — PJ Glassey

    • [21:47] "The subconscious is in charge of us and we can't ever stop that. That's the way it is. And the subconscious also operates at about the level of a three-year-old. So our toddler is in charge of us." — PJ Glassey

    • [36:03] "For me, intermittent fasting is really more about brain health and mental clarity, and not having to be hungry."— PJ Glassey

    • [37:40] "The top five things for anti-aging are the top five things for health: exercise, good nutrition, quality sleep, brain training, and relationships." — PJ Glassey

    • [39:45] "Tapping is an amazing way to get rid of emotional eating, to stop the overeating habits, to even stop cravings." — PJ Glassey

    • [40:06] "I probably tapped 300 different foods away and then to the point where you just don't want them anymore, which is amazing." — PJ Glassey
