Do you have a habit of wanting to help everyone?  I’ve built my career on helping people change their lives in fitness and in the coaching space.  Sometimes help isn’t wanted, needed, or necessary.  The issue that can occur when we try to solve other people's problems is that they don’t develop the skills to solve problems on their own.  During a recent trip to San Francisco, an incident made it apparent the weight I’ve been carrying from trying to solve other people's problems.  Listen to discover the process I used to unravel this situation and how you can do the same   To share questions or comments, feel free to reach out at [email protected]

Do you have a habit of living in the past or living in the future?  One of the biggest problems we have in our lives is that we get stuck.  We get stuck because our minds become fixated on something that happened or has yet to happen.  The painful part is these past and future thoughts tend to be negative in nature.  Instead of focusing on the present moment, we define ourselves by things that already happened.  The kicker is that these thoughts aren’t even real. Today I’m going to focus on strategies to help you gain control over these negative thoughts and ultimately take control of your life.   To share questions or comments, feel free to reach out at [email protected]

Do you have a habit of avoiding problems?  For many of us this is our kryptonite.  This is problematic because kryptonite is like a black hole.  It swallows light and our capacity to grow.  It creates shame, guilt, secrecy, problematic relationships, and much more.  For some, kryptonite is addiction.  For others, psychological or physical trauma from their youth.  No matter the source, kryptonite will destroy ourselves if we let it.  So how do we get out of this pit and move on with our lives?  Tune in to find out.   To share questions or comments, feel free to reach out at [email protected]

How often in your life are you saying yes when you really want to say no?  Are you committing to things out of a sense of loyalty or obligation?  The hard and honest truth is that when when say yes to everyone else, we’re saying no to ourselves.  So what would happen if you said yes to yourself and went all in on that one thing that you’ve always wanted to pursue?  Today I discuss the outcome of committing all your energy to the development of yourself.   To share questions or comments, feel free to reach out at [email protected]

Most of us are stuck in this animalistic state of never being able to shut off our minds.  We’re stuck in this state because we never fully recover.  We never recover from traumas, workouts, lack of sleep, and so on.  It was during the last two days that I was able to start shaking off the static holding me back and being stepping into all that I am meant to become.  Listen today for my final wrap-up of my experience at 40 Years of Zen.   To share questions or comments, feel free to reach out at [email protected]

Grudges take energy.  They eat up our time in the present and prevent us from looking toward the future.  Learning to forgive is essential to moving forward in life.  Without it you will always be stuck in the past.  The irony of it all is we don’t really have to learn to forgive other people.  We only have to learn how to forgive ourselves.  Building on Monday’s episode, join me as I share my experience at 40 Years of Zen.     To share questions or comments, feel free to reach out at [email protected]

Living a challenge based lifestyle means creating measurable goals and targets to shoot for.  After four years of living this lifestyle I realized that I had accomplished a lot in body, balance, and business, but I had largely neglected going deep into being.  To be completely transparent, I believe I was avoiding it because it’s simply harder to quantify.  After all this time, I finally decided to dive deep into being and go down the path of 40 Years Of Zen.  While I’m not going to go into intricate details of the program, in this three part series I will dive into my time in Seattle and what I took away from the experience.   To share questions or comments, feel free to reach out at [email protected]

Gratitude is one of the most essential components of living a happy and fulfilled life.  A lack of gratitude generally leads to a pretty miserable existence.  We don’t appreciate our jobs, our family, our children, ourselves, or anything else.  The absence of gratitude will cause you to jump to some conclusions that simply aren’t true.  So how do you create a Habit of Gratitude?  Listen to discover a few simple steps that can change your outlook on life.   To share questions or comments, feel free to reach out at [email protected]

Social media is a tricky thing.  While it’s a great tool to connect and grow a business, it gives people the ability to loo way bigger than they are.  I’m not talking physical size, I mean in terms of knowledge and expertise.  This means people frequently hire individuals who are individuals posing as pro’s.  Instead of getting the best coach or trainer, you wind up getting the best salesperson or marketer.  Why does all this matter?  It matters because true professionals usually cost more to work with.  So remember, when you go to hire anyone, paying less to hire an amateur is going to cost you way more in the long run than if you just hired a pro in the first place.   To share questions or comments, feel free to reach out at [email protected]
