Join Erica each week as she delves deep into all things wellness, fitness, nutrition, entertainment, entrepreneurship, and spirituality. These intimate, deep, and often intense conversations go beyond the traditional podcast. They are designed to provoke, educate, inspire, and empower you to discover, uncover, unlock, and unleash your best, most authentic self.
To live. To feel alive. Because I can. Because I’m human. Because my humanity demands it! Movement. We weren’t wired this way by accident. Our physical and mental health is by design, dependent on movement. We are designed to feel good when we move because survival depends on movement. This was an obvious truth when hunting, gathering, and farming; our existence depended on our ability and desire to do survival tasks, so our bodies are chemically and hormonally designed to make us feel good when doing them. It is a much less obvious truth in modern society, but no less relevant. The endorphasm is the moment during movement you feel anything is possible. Clarity. This podcast is the exploration of movement as the foundation for a productive, fulfilling, rewarding, most excellent life.

Innovating with Values for Entrepreneurial Triumph
Embark on a transformational journey with Erica Porter as she unravels the secret ingredients for entrepreneurial success – a robust code of conduct. Imagine a blueprint for behavior that guides not only your employees but also shines as a beacon of your company's ethos. In this heart-to-heart, I delve into why these guiding principles are crucial for businesses of all sizes, acting as a compass for internal operations and an emblem of integrity to the world outside.
Explore how the power of words like "keep going" can positively reinforce a thriving company culture, and we share personal anecdotes from the evolution of Endorphasm. I reveal how establishing a resonant code of conduct can sculpt an environment that extends its influence far beyond the office walls, impacting the community at large. Tune in for an inspiring session that's not just about building a brand, but about nurturing a legacy that pulses with passion, health, and respect.
Welcome to Endorphasmic, where we talk about all things. Endorphasm I am your hostess. Erica Porter, have you thought of starting your own business, or maybe growing the business that you have as an entrepreneur? I think that the road has been paved by a lot of brilliant people before me and before them. Even I think that setting the tone from the top is really critical for any organization, especially a small startup type of company.
Speaker 1:A code of conduct serves as both an internal guideline and an external declaration of your organization's values and commitments, and a well-crafted code clarifies mission or values and principles and linking them to standards of professional conduct. And you don't have to be some big corporate conglomerate in order to adhere to that and to really kind of set these guidelines to operate from. And it should articulate values your company wishes to foster in its employees and even more so, its leaders, in defining the desired behavior. And these standards become the benchmarks for measuring individual and organizational performance. And in order to build a sustainable culture, it is essential to set clear expectations for the behavior of all your employees, your executives, yourself and you cannot leave the code of conduct of your employees in clear terms, emphasizing what is expected of them rather than merely what is discouraged. I think that managing to these expectations is absolutely crucial and I want to talk about managing to what is expected, or emphasizing what is expected rather than merely what is expected, or emphasizing what is expected rather than merely what is discouraged, and even in my own conversation when I'm coaching a class, is the difference between saying don't quit and using the words keep going. I think that in emphasizing what you want an individual to do rather than what you don't want them to do, kind of changes the dynamic a little bit. I feel that employees will look to you and your leadership team to define the values and beliefs that represent your organization's philosophy, culture and mission, and your reputation hinges on the decisions made by everyone within the organization. Leadership profoundly influences the code of conduct and, by extension, the organizational culture, so it's imperative that leaders model these standards every single day. The code of conduct provides a framework for accountability, incorporating both rewards and corrective measures to ensure adherence to all of it, and so I think, more than a business plan or maybe that is the business plan in many cases. Interestingly enough, when I opened up Endorphasm, I didn't particularly have a business plan, because much of it was going to kind of be developed by the nature of the environment and the people that were going to end up gravitating towards what it was that Endorphasm had to offer. But I think the important thing is is creating a culture that really is undeniable, that speaks to what the Endorphasm brand is and speaks to the expectations of all of those that that walk through the doors or that you know wear what they feel and wear our brand, or you know it's.
Speaker 1:Endorphism doesn't just reside inside of the walls at 2510 Wayside Drive. Endorphism, as I've said it before, transcends all physical pursuits. It is everywhere. It is a feeling before transcends all physical pursuits, it is everywhere, it is a feeling, so it doesn't matter where you are. And so it's important that the representation of what the brand is, that we build that culture within the four walls of Endorphasm and that then that culture and that code of conduct leads out into the universe, and so that what we have to offer resonates with not just the hundreds of people that come into endorphasm but the millions of people that understand the power of the feeling, the feeling of the power. So, if you are starting a company, I applaud you and may you love what you're doing, but please, please a code of conduct. It serves as that internal guideline and certainly that external declaration of what your organization's values and commitments are, with that love, health and happiness and always much respect.
