On today’s Q&A show Drew and I answered a bunch of fitness, health, and business questions all from you dear listener. We’ve got everything from the best protein powder to how to utilize whiteboard videos on this episode so let’s get to ’em!

Q: How many people do you currently have in your mastermind group Sololab? How do you mange that number of people and what is the approximate annual turnover of people through the group?

A: Right now we have around 60. My current cap is around 70, 80 was too much! Most people stay in for 3 quarters or so on average.

JJ Mayo 

Q: Thanks for answering my question on the show. Very cool! I’m a college professor looking to move out of higher ed. It’s going downhill fast IMHO. I want to take some of my university sports nutrition courses online.

As you know nutrition is not that much different between sports. Thats why I was asking if Fuel for Endurance was too broad. I could create online courses that have the same information with different covers.

There are a ton of training plans out there but few if any nutrition programs for endurance athletes. Will definitely look to upscale my logo and check out SoloLab. Thanks again for time!

A: The marketplace is ready for something unique for endurance athletes, there’s not much out there to support that sport. Consider creating something to help joint and muscle breakdown for aging endurance athletes – that would be a great benefit.

Dave Mac Arthur 

Q: I want to know EXACTLY what to do to look like that at 50!  #detailsbob

A: Set up your system, get to where you know what you’re eating and prepare yourself. In the morning Drew eats oatmeal with flax seed, 1/2 cup of nuts, protein powder of some sort, frozen fruit and almond milk. Great protein and great carbs – that’s it. For lunch is chicken breast on a salad. Simply it’s some form of protein with vegetables, ideally organic chicken and some form of vegetables. That’s a basic winning strategy.

Workouts are upper body and lower body workouts, focus on big muscle groups and pay attention to joints (push-ups versus curls). If you want a great muscle burn with muscle mass do your exercises slower. Take a day off in between; Drew works out 4 times a week.

Ellen Reaves 

Q: What’s the best protein powder if you want to lose weight?

A: There’s no one product that’s the holy grail but if you had to pick one go with whey protein.

Thom Singer 

Q: Did you do any meaningful follow up after WD conference – we all know the follow up after an event is key — but most get busy and don’t take actions. What did you do?

A: My goal was to connect with a few interesting guests and I have done that. I have one scheduled, working on another and waiting to hear back from a third.

Sean Gilgore 

Q: Divorce and being a solo entrepreneur. How does your creative content become divided when you get divorced?

A: No hard and fast rule, I’m sorry if you are going through that.
