In this episode, Salina talks about what she is learning as she continues writing. She reflects on how sometimes in our mind we can see the compete product or idea but bringing it to life requires a little more from us that we originally think. Fir first few days of writing are smooth sailing but as you keep going it gets more challenging as you have to pull out what you want to write as that much more accessible thoughts and ideas are written first. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

One More Rep, One More Try – With Carson from Alchemy Training

Welcome back to The Grand Valli Experience — where creative empowerment, local talent, and business experience collide. In this episode, I sit down with my friend Carson, founder of Alchemy Training, to talk about how a $5 fitness idea turned into a growing business rooted in purpose, self-doubt, and discipline. From being a college athlete and coach to launching a training platform for athletes and everyday people alike, Carson shares how belief, vulnerability, and "one more rep" can change everything — in fitness, in life, and in business. We talk about the evolution of professional ambition, the power of starting small, the myth of perfectionism, and why Grand Junction is more than a place — it’s part of the process. Whether you’re chasing your goals, starting your own business, or learning how to stay consistent in a chaotic season, this one’s for you. It’s raw, real, and reminds us that building anything meaningful—fitness or otherwise—takes time, trust, and the decision to just keep going. 🔗 Connect with Carson: Follow her on Instagram: Alchemy With Carson [https://www.instagram.com/alchemywithcarson/] Check out her $5 workouts: $5 Workout Subscription [https://morethanaverage.gumroad.com/l/alchemy5subscription] 🎥 Watch & Follow GrandValli: GrandValli - YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@GrandValli] GrandValli (@grandvalli) • Instagram photos and videos [https://www.instagram.com/grandvalli/] Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/people/GrandValli-Marketplace/61550037465137/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
