Everyone’s following influencers. Few are following coaches.
In this episode, James and I break down why that’s a problem.

We talk about how the fitness industry has blurred the lines — charisma, abs, and a huge following now carry more weight than actual coaching ability.
People like the Liver King go viral, make millions, and hand out awful advice. Meanwhile, real coaches, who understand nuance and get results, are often overlooked.

We unpack the difference between being entertaining vs. being effective — and why knowing who you’re listening to actually matters.

Tune in if you’re tired of hype and want to hear the truth.

This episode is different.

It’s a raw, unfiltered coaching call between me and one of my closest friends — and clients — Dianne Maust.

We dive into a confronting moment she recently had when getting an InBody scan. The coach running the test — a competitive bodybuilder — scoffed at her results and made her feel like she wasn’t doing enough.

But here’s the thing: Dianne has been doing the work. She’s stronger, healthier, and more capable than ever.

So in this episode, we talk honestly about:
    •    Why the InBody and other fitness metrics are flawed
    •    Why they don’t define your progress or worth
    •    What health actually means
    •    And how to challenge these outdated fitness norms — especially as a woman

It’s the kind of conversation more people in the fitness space need to hear.

Frank Gilfeather is a journalist, broadcaster, and author whose voice has become iconic in Scottish media. In this episode, we talk about his upbringing in Dundee, the influence of his father—a man who believed in fighting for what matters—and how those early lessons shaped Frank’s life in and out of the newsroom.

He shares reflections on family, boxing, and what life has taught him, all with the humility and depth of a true gentleman. Now in his later years, Frank has found a new audience online, where his sharp wit and storytelling have captured hearts across social media. This conversation is emotional, genuine, and full of timeless takeaways.
