#021 - This week, I’m joined by guest co-host Michael Ashford of the Fit Dad Fitness podcast. Michael was actually my first guest back on Episode 002, entitled How Asking For Feedback Will Make You a Better Father and Husband, which I highly recommend you give a listen to, because in that conversation not only do you get to learn a ton about Michael, but we dive deep into how men often get in their own way and if we just set our egos aside and sought feedback more often, we’d be way better off. 

Michael is back on today to discuss how consistency is more important than perfection, and I couldn’t think of anyone who embodies consistency more than Michael. He’s been working out consistently for 8 years and he’s only recently had to take some time off to recover from surgery. 

Throughout today’s conversation, you’ll learn how consistency is more important than perfection and our top 5 tips for being consistent. 

Specifically, we’re talking about: 

• Goal setting
• Doing things when you don’t want to
• Understanding that sometimes you have to be extreme
• Setting reminders and small rewards
• And making your goal a part of your identity

You’ll want to stick around to the end of the show, where you’ll hear how being consistent will not only help you achieve your fitness goals but will make you a better more present father, as children thrive when their parents are super consistent.

#019 - This week's episode is all about how being a part of a community can help you achieve your results faster.
Whether you're in a fitness rut or struggling in other ways, being a part of a community will help you stay the course when you lose motivation. It's like that old quote, "go alone if you want to go fast. If you want to go farther, go together."
There's wisdom in that quote because we all know intuitively that communities are incredibly valuable.
And so I'm sharing by top 5 benefits of what being in a community has to offer you.
And lastly, don't forget that how you show up or contribute to a community is as important as what the community has to offer you.

#014 -  We’ve all been there before: you know what you have to do, but you just can’t bring yourself to do it - whether that’s exercising, meal prepping, cleaning out the garage, working on a project for work, etc, it can be incredibly difficult to find motivation. 

And the longer you put things off, the worse you feel, and the harder it becomes to actually get over the hump and just do the thing. 

This week, I'm joined by Cam Hall of Fight the Dad Bod, who is a pretty motivated guy, so I figured he was the right guy to bring onto the show to share his views on this topic.  

Throughout our conversation, you’ll hear: 

• The difference between positive and negative motivation
• 5 Tips to getting motivated, which includes: 
• setting goals
• making those goals public
• tracking your progress
• breaking up your goals
• and finding accountability to help you see your goals through. 
• 
  

You’ll want to stick around to the end of the show where we discuss how finding a community of like-minded people can make all the difference between success and failure.
