Weight loss isn't usually as hot a topic for guys as it is for girls. We tend not to be as worried about our physical appearance, and we all too often focus on other deliverables in our life.

But what if there's more to health and fitness than the number that comes from the bathroom scale?

Join me in this episode as Brady Ross walks me through his weight loss story and what role weight played in his life. He talks about some practical ways that he lost weight and he helps other men lose weight. The most important part is your mindset, and Brady gives us some awesome perspective!

So, Covid happened, and we're all still recovering. Most of us are desperately trying to recover by attending every event we can to "make up" for what we lost.

What if that's not the best path though? What if we're swinging from one mistake to another? If you think this might be you, consider coaching!

Join me in this episode as Cory Carlson helps explain how he coaches executives and what he's seen. He walks through really practical ways to make big changes in your life, today. We all need more of this!

I really enjoyed my previous conversation with Alex and decided to invite him back. We decided to do something different for this episode.

Rather than an organized and official topic, we just wanted to share what we're both working on in our own lives for this season of Lent. This episode is entirely 100% unplanned, unscripted, and raw. I think you'll enjoy it.

My hope is that you'll go out and have a similar conversation with your friends - share what matters to you!

Jonah was swallowed by a whale when he went astray of God's plan but that isn't the only option. Many people today get stuck in something that feels very comfortable while avoiding God.

Often following God's call requires giving up something that seems good and comfortable, but God only asks us to go forward to find something better yet!

In this episode, I'm joined by Alex Pauls who shares his story of how God has guided his life. God's plan for Alex challenged his limiting beliefs and false identity statements. Although it was difficult, looking backwards so often shows us how God's plan was exactly what we needed!

I've always been jealous (in a good way!) of the passion and authentic joy the people seem to commonly have in Africa.

They move about with a purpose to their lives and a deep smile on their face. When I look in the mirror, I don't always see such a compelling smile on my own face.

Join me in this episode as my Nigerian guest Tobi shares his story. You will love how his passion and joy for life (and self improvement) spread into every part of his life. There's a lot of practical ways you also can find more passion and enthusiasm for your life!

This episode is special. We live in some crazy times right now where it's often hard to see God's goodness. A lot of people are struggling with doubt, pessimism, and discouragement.

My client Anthony bravely volunteered to share a piece of an actual coaching session that we just finished where he was dealing with this same type of issue.

I want to encourage you to listen in, I think the conversation was very powerful and applicable to us all!

Maybe you are a Jiujitsu master - or maybe not. Either way, there are some really powerful lessons about how to find meaning and purpose that can be found from martial arts training. 

Anything that comes too easily is usually not satisfying. Yet we are afraid of hard work! So how do these get balanced?

Join me in this episode as Lawrence Dunning and I talk about how to find that meaningful, purposeful part of life that makes life worth living. We explore how what he learned through Jiujitsu has been applied to the rest of his life. These mental perspectives can help anyone to find the same!

You can learn more about Lawrence Dunning on his podcast Enter The Lionhart or by searching for him on Instagram or Linked In.

We live in an age that does not make it easy to be Christian. (Not a really surprising observation, eh?)

Yet the message of God is still applicable. How do we live it out?

Join me in this episode as Mr. Johnathan Drayton walks through his experience coming fully into the faith and how we can all live out the gospel message. We get into a little bit of philosophy and quote a bit of scripture, but tie it up in a way that's pretty practical.

I'm breaking the usual flow of podcast episodes because I think this one really needs to get out quickly! I encourage you to listen to this before Lent if possible - but the ideas are timeless.

Join me in this episode as Joe Rockey shares some really powerful ways to improve your relationships. We talk about humility, courage, and ways that we all are avoiding what we know we need to be doing. Relationships are literally what we are made for!

You can read more about Joe at https://elitebusinessconversations.com/ or catch his podcast Father and Joe.
