 Hey, it's Alex from AlexFergus.com and Peleru FX 2018 kicks off in Austin, Texas in a few days time and unfortunately, I'm not going to be there I'm staying in New Zealand this time, right? As I've been the last few few years I met a lot of good friends there and good networks Get a lot of emails lately saying hey, you know, let's let's meet up. We'll be good to see you again And my response is I'm not gonna be there So then of course they come back saying oh, well, can you recommend any good restaurants or some tips or you know? Give me some insider Helpful tips and tricks to get the most out of the experience. So I thought to myself, you know what? I was seen in the same email off over and over. I thought I'll just whip up a video and share that with everyone So if you are going to Peleru FX with this year or a lady year, hopefully some of these tips will help you If you're thinking of going then, you know, maybe some of these these little nuggets I'm gonna share with you will inspire you to go because it is a great a great occasion It's good fun. Yeah, it's all health orientating everything, but there's a good fitness idea. There's lots of up-and-coming Tech and gadgets and supplements and everything as well. It's not all like caveman paleo I mean, it's more alternative health and wellness So definitely check it out if you if you can and if you don't live, uh, you know, 17-18 hours Flying away like I do then. Um, hopefully you can get there. Anyway, these are my tips First thing if you are traveling a long distance, uh, head out to restore chryreotherapy It's about a 10-15 minute drive from the expo maybe a little bit further I just uber everywhere on there. Actually, it's not over. You've got to use a different app Or at least that was when I was there last That's maybe something you should look into Anyway, head out to restore chryreotherapy. Do it if you've never done chryro before do a cold-chamber chrysation They have the Normatech compression boots. They do all IV drips and everything I've been there both years after my long crazy cross Pacific flight. I get the IV drips I get all the good stuff and I feel a million bucks annual too. So I highly recommend checking that out Second thing while you're out there. It's in a little shopping complex area Hit to Whole Foods. It's it's like just across the road or in the same little complex Whole Foods It's the home of Whole Foods. It was where it was founded in Austin. So you have to check that out It's an an experience in itself, especially for my, you know, non-american listeners who are traveling over from Australia and New Zealand and even Europe, I think so you got to go check that out. It's very cool All right, so now when you get to the expo, the expo runs three days. All right, Friday, Saturday, Sunday For those of you who've been to expo's or conventions before you'll know that like the first few days are a lot better than last Last day mornings are typically better than afternoon. And it's just because it runs fresh, you know You know, it runs motivated, rearing to go whereas come Sunday afternoon like people just want to pack up and get home So I'm trying to get it on Friday. It's a lot quieter than this Saturday and Sundays So if you can go Friday, great. If you're going all three days, then lucky you. Like I said, mornings are good Though saying that I never got there first thing in the morning. I value my sleep too much But yeah, mornings are a lot better than last last thing, you know, a lot like the last two hours of the expo Another thing is it politics had a lot of speakers and that's the main drawcard for a lot of people for me personally I went for business networking and to see the Stores exhibitors and everything. If you're there for the speakers, great Look at the timeline, build an itinerary, but know that you can get access to all the Speeches and presentations later on. I don't know if it's part of the ticket price or you pay extra But look into that because if you're only there for one day or even like if you're there for the whole three days You might find that you're better off spending your time on the trade floor or you know Meeting others and catching up with people At the expo rather than spending hours upon hours in a lecture room. So look into that Otherwise if you're there for business make sure you Keep it on this time timelines timetable and when there are big presentations happening like you know that the headline presenters that's actually a really good time to be on the trade floor because a lot of the crowd go to watch that Presentation so it's a good time where you can go up and really, you know, it's being quality time with you know these companies and Coaches and whatnot. They're all hanging around The expo. What else we've got real fit competition if you are a bit of an athlete or you like pushing yourself I'm actually wearing their t-shirt at the moment You've got to do the real fit comp even if you don't do all nine or ten events Just do a couple of them. It is good fun. There's actually something that I have won a little past two years So I'm not going to be there this year to defend my title, which is a bit of a shame But I mean someone out there can can go on and claim the title. So check out that you'll see it all littered around the expo I think their hub is usually in the middle of the expo floor But they'll have little activities all over the place and you'll see people do them So get involved in that. It's good fun. You can see how you compare to others and Yeah, maybe win something in the process a few stands to check out Ordering yeah, which I got here reason why you have to check these guys out is because they've just released their second Gin ring and they'll be shipping very very soon if not already and They're gonna have some Prototypes or actual rings of the new ones if you haven't seen in person You'll be able to go and check it out and play with it and feel it and look at that Hopefully they're showing their new app as well. So definitely check that out my mates Sitting up the store for the first time the primal hacker boys. So check that out. I don't know what they'll be doing I think they've got some supplements there. So stop it and say hi there vital choice. Um the favorite stand of mine Get the chili sardines the canch chili sardines. It was so good Even if you don't like sardines by Canada that and it'll blow your way It's better than like the you know overpriced meals and all that sort of stuff Just go get two tins of that and you'll be good to go for for a few hours and then finally the juve light Which I'm sitting I'm sitting here in my little recording studio behind my juve lights, which I'll turn on just to show you actually They if you can't see them just look for the red lights Like that. Yeah, it's pretty bright. So um, they told me they got a stool set up With a recovery room and correct recovery center So when your feet are all worn out and you just Over-talking to people and stuff and you just want to go recharge literally literally recharge hit over to the juve booth I'm not too sure where it is. But yeah, again look for the bright red lights And I think you can do free sessions on their red light panels and a lot of clinics charge You know decent money to to get ahead of the red light therapy So it's a good opportunity to go check that out Especially if you're exhausted or if you've been out partying the night before or if you are doing the real-fit competition And need a little bit of a boost I'd use it before the the sessions and after I just use it all the time. Anyway, what else business tips? Have you there for business three tips? Hit the stalls when the big speak big speakers and present Hit the stalls when the big presentations are all right because again like I said the crowd will go to that It's a good time to sort of network. All right Look into networking events. There should be some each day I think Chris Chris I used to sponsor them in the past. There was a little meet-up area and different theme days Like there's a blogging one Doctors and all that so look into that. It's worth going I mean again if you're traveling spin all this money to go to these events You must get the most out of it, right? And then the charity dinner Buy a ticket for that because Everyone who's anyone will be there So it's a good chance to network and meet people plus you get a good good meal out of it And it's for a good cause so I'm looking to that Final tip you've got to do this even if you're hardcore like paleo and all that sort of stuff We're going to Terry Terry blacks barbecue, which is just opposite across the road from the main entrance of the Convention Center It's like amazing barbecue, but I know the meat's probably not like Organic grass-fed paleo primal certified, but it's literally across the road So you got to go ahead that out one night for some of this like brisket or something like it was Really good barbecue. Anyway, um, yeah, that's my tip. So hopefully Hopefully that helps those first-timers or even people who have been before and want to get a little bit more out of it Sorry that I won't be there to meet in person Maybe next year You just have to come to New Zealand or Australia for an expert and I can meet you down here If you have any questions and you want to know a bit more about it let me know below in the comments if you are going and You're on your own or would be happy meeting up or like happy showing someone who's never been to Austin You know showing them around maybe drop your details below a link to your Facebook page or something can just say hey Like reach out to me because I know it does help, you know, if you're in a foreign town City or country even and you don't know anyone or you don't know how to get around and stuff It's always cool. Just having even one friend or someone you bump into and at least you feel like you know someone so People did that to me a few years ago. So that's why I'm like, well, at least I'll give you some tips Yeah, so anyway enjoy and have fun and yeah, make sure to do the real fit competition try and take out that so I can come and hopefully beat you next year and check out the stands and yeah go recharge in the juice center And then get good feed of Terry blacks as well. I'm jealous. I wish I was there All right guys, take it. Actually one last thing as well ARX if you haven't been to that stand That should have been on my list. If you haven't been to that stand Go to Eric's Booth will stand and have a workout on that machine. All right. It'll blow your mind. It's really cool If you're doing the real fit competition the one of the one or two of the events usually have the ARX in there So you'll you'll get a feel for it But yeah, that's a good good another good thing to add to your list So I'm sure there's many more as well, but that was just top my head. All right, but have fun
