Episode 322- Living an extraordinary life will require beyond ordinary effort.

Most people are ordinary. That’s what ordinary means: not different or special, like everyone else. Most people would say that they don’t want to be ordinary, they want to be extraordinary. They want to live extraordinary lives. But when it comes time to change the eating habits, to eat differently than everyone else, to change the lifestyle and live differently than everyone else, to work differently than everyone else; then all of a sudden everyone just wants to “live like a normal person” again. Lol. I get it but that’s just not how it fucking works. Let’s discuss.

Episode 321- Confidence.

Confidence is a game changer. Everyone knows that. But how do we get it? It’s not that simple. Let’s discuss.

Episode 320- The path to success is riddled with mistakes.

Behind every success is a long list of failures and disappointments. I don’t know if that’s a quote but it should be. I know my story has a bunch of them. It always made me feel better when I would hear successful people talk about all of the things that went wrong on their journeys. It made mine feel more normal. On today’s podcast, I’ll tell you about a bunch of my mistakes and disappointments in the hope that it will better help you deal with yours and to understand that they are all just a part of the process.

Episode 319- Your perfect day. Your perfect you.

In this episode we’ll discuss “The Perfect Day” exercise and how to use it as a roadmap for your life and also “The Perfect You” and how to use that to set your goals and daily actions. The things that we want to achieve, our goals, are typically things that may be slightly out of reach for who we are today. We need to become the person who can achieve those goals. An evolved version of our current self. The “Perfect You” exercise can help you determine what that evolved version of you looks like and how to become that person. LFG!

Episode 318- The perfect time is now.

We have a lot of things we want to accomplish in our lives. We have a lot to do. But sometimes we struggle with getting started. When is the right time? I have the answer for you. The right time is now. Time is fleeting and most of the things we want to accomplish will take longer than we think. The secret to success is to start today. Let’s discuss.

Episode 317- Effort. Are you truly giving it your all?

We know we need to “give it all we’ve got” in order to be successful, but do we? Are we really giving it one hundred percent effort or do we not really know what that is? How do we know if we are living up to our potential if we are not truly giving it our all? Let’s discuss.

Episode 316- Consistency. The underrated superpower.

We talk a lot about genetics, hard work and the grind. One thing we often overlook, however, is something that I believe has the power to overcome all of the aforementioned. That thing is consistency. Let’s talk about how consistency can be the little known secret to your success.

Episode 315- The massive cost of not pursuing your dreams.

We all know that there is a cost to pursing our dreams. We’ll likely have to sacrifice time, money, hobbies and sometimes even relationships in order to chase and achieve our dreams. But what if the cost of not chasing them? What is the cost to our soul? To the world? I personally believe that we are all here for a very specific reason. Our challenge here on earth is to find that reason and to pursue it. What if by not pursuing our dreams, we are not only limiting ourselves, but we are also robbing the world of our gifts? Let’s discuss.

Episode 314- Body dysmorphia and how powerlifting and Jiu Jitsu rescued me from it.

Body dysmorphia is the dirty little secret of the fitness world. So many of us struggle with it and almost no one talks about it. I struggled with it for years and it wasn’t until only recently that I’ve been able to begin to escape it’s grasp. I’ll share my story in the hopes that it may help someone else.

Episode 313- Fear and anxiety.

Fear and anxiety can be crippling. We all face it to some degree. The good news is that there are ways to defeat and overcome these feelings.
