Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on ALT 105.7 and iHeartRadio 12/26/20 - Todd Stottlemyre, Former MLB Pitcher, New Book

Rick talks with former Major League pitcher, Todd Stottlemyre, this week on “Tech of Sports.”

Have a listen:

Although Todd Stottlemyre may be best known for his successful MLB career, his accomplishments off the field are just as impressive. After leaving baseball, he pursued a career in finance building an asset management business at a high-profile Wall Street firm. He then, founded a private equity fund that owns, manages, and oversees several companies.

Today, Stottlemyre is a global entrepreneur, speaker, and high performance business coach with a highly personal, transformative story to tell through his new book, “The Observer”. Far from being a fiction novel, “The Observer” offers actionable strategies for professional and personal growth and it is also the fable of Todd Stottlemyre’s life. He rose to superstardom winning two World Series with the Toronto Blue Jays but had yet to reach his true “peak” until the journey that began afterward…

The Book:

Kat has it all (money, success, recognition, influence) except the one thing she desires desperately: a fulfilled life. A business entrepreneur in the high-end sportswear industry, Kat is driven in relentless pursuit of ever-greater success. The two anchors in Kat’s frenzied life have been her father; a famous baseball pitcher turned team manager, and her son, who is following in his grandfather’s footsteps. When both anchors become unstable, Kat’s life tips dangerously out of balance. The market and her finances flip, and relationships start slipping through her fingers. Eager for solutions, she turns to find uncanny wisdom from places she never expected.

The Observer unpacks the idea of 180-degree thinking, which changes everything for Kat. Now, seemingly impossible goals now come into focus with crystal clear clarity. As Kat focuses on the right things, the impossible becomes her new reality.

BlendJet 2 makes perfectly blended smoothies, shakes, margaritas, baby food and more on the go — and was even recently launched into space.

Big blender performance is now available anywhere from the kitchen countertop to a mountaintop.  

BlendJet 2 packs game-changing power thanks to BlendJet’s patented TurboJet technology. This new blending technology leverages offset stainless steel blades to create a tornado effect that blasts ingredients into the back of the jar 275 times per second, resulting in dramatically faster and better blending. BlendJet 2 makes smoothie-bar-quality beverages, silky-smooth protein shakes, top-shelf mixed drinks and creamy frozen lattes, plus milkshakes, slushies, baby food, dips, dressings, sauces and so much more.  

“I used smoothies and protein shakes to help me recover from a serious head injury,” says Ryan Pamplin, CEO of BlendJet. “I’m a lifelong entrepreneur, so as soon as I got better, I was driven to create a product that helps people live longer and healthier lives.”  

Smoothies at the ready!

When you’re on the run, you don’t always have access to fresh ingredients, which is why BlendJet created JetPack Ready-to-Blend Smoothies, developed in partnership with the culinary experts behind some of the most iconic beverages in the world. Each single-serving JetPack is loaded with the freshest fruits and veggies picked at peak ripeness and then freeze-dried, locking in all the flavors you love for a rich, creamy smoothie — no fridge required. Options include Banana Blueberry, Mocha Chia, Green Peach Ginger, Raspberry Dragon Fruit, Mango Matcha and Tropical Blue.  

BlendJet 2 comes in 16 vibrant colors with a design that compliments your style. It looks great on your desk or countertop and is a positive reminder to enjoy something delicious and nutritious every day.  

BlendJet 2 is water-resistant, so you don’t have to worry about getting liquid in the USB-C port or accidentally submerging your BlendJet 2 in the sink or pool.  

Around $50. You can't do better than the BlendJet 2.
