Episode 273: Life lessons from a 9 year old.

We can learn a lot from the little humans around us. In this episode we’ll discuss something that we have likely all been guilty of.

Episode 272- This one’s personal.

Why I didn’t touch a weight for 3 weeks, the “50 more” program and what habit I have had to eliminate.

Episode 271- "If it's meant to be it's meant to be." Hmnnn... really?

A well-meaning expression, but one that I think can have the wrong effect on many people.

Episode 270- Becoming bulletproof.

Fear is driving the majority of the decisions that people are making these days. In the face of uncertainty and fear, it’s important to make smart and strategic decisions, not just fear-based decisions. Now, more than ever, it’s about becoming bulletproof against all the things that threaten to destroy your health, your livelihood and even your way of life.

Episode 269- Stepping up to the plate.

When the opportunity presents itself will you step up? Will you be ready?

Episode 268- "Realistic" goals.

“Realistic” is a four letter word in the goal setting space. Shouldn’t goals be out of reach? Something to shoot for? Absolutely. But they also must be in the realm of possibility or you will completely lose your mojo once you realize you have set a goal that may be unattainable.

Episode 267- Special guest Coach Julian Despres. “What was once a hobby gave me a life.”

Today I took Coach Julian for a ride in the Jeep and we talked about his introduction to strength as a kid in a local barn (freaking awesome) and his thoughts on all things strength. This is a must listen!

Episode 266-Strange days indeed. How do we move forward and avoid living in fear?

A global pandemic. Lockdowns. Elections. So many unknowns. So much uncertainty. How can we continue to pursue greatness, to chase our dreams and to live our lives in this time of fear?

Episode 265- “This looked much easier in the documentary.”

The struggle for success seems very glamorous in movies. In real life it’s not so glamorous, it’s just struggle.

Episode 264- The challenges of an extraordinary life.

Hearing stories of success is always inspiring. We love to hear the hero’s journey, the overcoming of seemingly insurmountable obstacles that leads to victory. There are parts to success however, to achieving greatness, that we don’t hear about. One of those things is resentment. We don’t hear about how there are times during our quest that we begin to resent everything. We resent the sacrifice that it takes. We resent the things that we are missing in order to pursue our dreams. We resent those who aren’t making the same sacrifices. We begin to even resent the goal itself. We consider shrinking our goal, making the target more achievable. We consider taking the easier path. We consider being more like everyone else. Let’s talk about this today.
