Beyond Fit

We tend to think very rigidly about the way we spend our time, even though, unlike other resources like money, it's the only thing we can't get back! How do you balance things like spending time with friends and family or dating with your workouts? What's more important, a good night's rest or an early morning workout? Hear my thoughts on these questions in this episode.

After dialing in your nutrition by understanding caloric (energy) balance and high protein, as well as understanding the importance of progressive overload and compound weightlifting in training, you will find lots of benefit in learning how to recover better. I can say from personal experience that prioritizing recovery has been one of the biggest changes I’ve made in order to look and feel better over the years. In this episode I go in depth with many specific numbers in examples to tell you exactly what you need to be doing in order to recover better!

We can't be on top of our game all the time. In this episode I talk about some of my recent struggles with not being able to eat and lift like I normally do, as well as what big rocks help keep me from losing too much progress, and how to avoid the perfectionist mentality.

Today I'm doing another random show filled with whatever is on my mind from recent conversations, thoughts, and deep dives, enjoy! Also please let me know if there's anything you'd like covered in future shows like this.

Many of us pride ourselves on being "perfectionists" not realizing how this tendency can lead us astray. Here's what to do about it and how to look at it instead! 

Today Mike Nelson and I talked about stimulus vs. recovery in the context of training. Mike is an expert in research-fueled fitness/nutrition and a wealth of knowledge so I was very grateful to have him on for a second time!

In this episode I discuss my main exercise objectives and why they're important for longevity/healthspan. I'll also go into appreciation for yourself and your body and balance continued growth with acceptance.

I wanted to bring my friend Johnny on today to talk like we have before about socializing, especially in the post pandemic world. Johnny is an expert on communication and social skills and you'll love his takes on confidence, getting to good conversation with anyone, and more!

I am very wary to use the words "healthy" or "unhealthy" in terms of diet because black and whites don't exist in nutrition any more than they exist in training. In this podcast I explain a common problem that I've dealt with myself- the incessant need to eat healthy.

Life is busy. Sometimes it's hard to find time to think about personal or career enrichment. I brought Pat Flynn today (who you'll remember from Episode 152: Making Truth Your Target) to discuss these topics, and of course some great fitness and diet info too! Pat is a philosopher, author, and generalist among other things who through hard work, experimentation, and mentorship has carved out a path as a successful coach and entrepreneur.
