  • Let’s Be Well Together Podcast - Episode 121Date: May 21, 2014Participants: John Webster, Elise Seifert, Cameron Earnshaw and Sheila WebsterGuest: Ian BrisbinStart Times and Segments:[0:00:15] What’s On Your Mind: We talk about a quote Elise came across by Osho – “To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.” It has them thinking in different directions.[0:08:53] Expanding Minds Interview: [Physical, Social and Mental Wellness] We interview Ian Brisbin, an avid cyclist. We chat about safety. Biking is a social and physical outlet and one of the best ways Ian knows to ensure that he’s staying emotionally centred. His “Rule 1” for biking safety is very simple: You do what you need to do to get home safely. Biking safety is multi-faceted. There’s a lot to keep track of. The best you can do is to keep your head on a swivel and look out for yourself. It’s important to be assertive and be clear about what your intentions are – be very deliberate showing where you’re headed. There’s safety equipment, such as helmets, but more than anything else it’s a matter of being aware of your surroundings and communicating yourself as clearly as you can. He talks about hidden dangers, like dooring, large potholes and the “right hook”. Rule 1 applies to interactions with law enforcement and drivers. If you’re in a situation where you feel that you’re being unfairly ticketed by law enforcement, then take the ticket, go home and deal with it later. If you’re in a confrontation with a driver, then you’re not going to win. You might lose, but you won’t win. Just leave. Your goal is to get home safe and to your families.[0:27:35] Adventures of the Starving Artist: Cameron needs to use his car every day, so car trouble spells stress. I took time go figure out what was wrong and get it fixed, then after dropping some serious coin he had another surprise.[0:31:52] Move That Body: – Julie recounts experiences as a coxswain for 8-person rowing teams while at university.[0:37:47] Running Popup: A great lesson from exercise is that it shows us that we can do hard things, and it feels good to know that.[0:40:02] Flipside of the Coin: Sheila and John’s impressions when they learned they will be first-time grandparents.Guest Information: Ian Brisbin is recognized by his peers since 2020 as one of Canada’s “Best Lawyers” practicing personal law. For over 20 years, he’s served the Hamilton and Halton area, and clients across Ontario. He's represented people from all walks of life on claims arising from motor vehicle collisions or dangerous properties, including passengers, injured cyclists and pedestrians. He also helps people who were denied long-term disability insurance benefits, and does much more. Ian is particularly passionate about Velolaw.ca. Velolaw is Ian’s rapidly expanding practice area through which he expresses his love of cycling, his determination to represent injured cyclists and his joy derived from advocating for active transportation in the public interest. He has a long record of service to his communities, particularly through chairing numerous non-for-profit boards of directors. Ian fancies himself a passionate cyclist for all seasons. He’s competed in many cycling races, an Ironman and six marathons (including two Bostons). He’s currently training for an upcoming Ironman 70.3. Ian lives in Hamilton with his family and Willow the Bernese Mountain Dog.Ian Brisbin work bio: Ian Brisbin - Martin & HillyerConnect with Let’s Be Well Together Podcast:website: https://letsbewelltogether.comFollow our Instagram account: @lets.be.well.together use hashtag #letsbewelltogetherpodcastProvide input on Instagram using hashtag #letsbewelltogetherinputFacebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/Lets.Be.Well.TogetherThanks for joining us,(-(-_(-_-)_-)-) Your wellness check-in teamJohn, Sammy, Cameron, Sheila, Elise, Isabelle, Noura and Julie
