IT'S. ALL. DAY.

In this episode I explain my journey and thought process when it comes to achieving my goals. Whether it was hitting my protein goals, excelling in sports or in the gym they all had one action in common; immersion!

I was completely immersed in whatever I did. I would watch videos, read books or blogs on whatever topic I was fascinated with and that total immersion was one of the qualities that led to so much of my success. If you are someone struggling to hit your protein goals become immersed in your program! Don't pay for a coach only to continue to put your health and fitness on the back burner. Become passionate about your goals and they become more fun and easier to achieve.

Disclaimer, this episode was created for the sole purpose of educating people on this taboo topic that is psychedelics and their mental health benefits.

In today's episode my fellow online coach Austin Bagshaw hops on the podcast to learn about the benefits of psychedelics and other substances like weed and how they can benefit someone's mental health and even there fitness journey.

In this episode we cover: weed, DMT, MDMA, LSD and Psilocybin. We go over some studies found on the benefits of psilocybin in psychotherapy and how some states have already approved this substance as a legal treatment for someone with tons of anxiety, depression, or PTSD.

This episode is meant to shed light on a taboo subject, it's meant to give our honest experiences with these drugs and how they have benefited our own lives. If you enjoy this topic I've listed a couple of resources below for you to continue your own research.

In today's episode, I go over 10 reasons to workout! I want to clarify that I don't believe these to be the biggest and best (morally speaking) reasons to workout. However, if I'm being honest when I first started my fitness journey I relied on some of these external motivators when my internal motivators were lacking.

So as much as some of us don't want to admit that these 10 reasons would motivate them, I still wanted to put them out for you so you can write them down and use them (without admitting it to anyone) when motivation is low.

10 Reasons to workout:
-Swimsuit Season
-Write down the names of the people who expect you to fail
-Write down list of friends that think they're better than you
-Being strong!
-Feeling good about yourself
-Succeed in life
-Have the dream life!
-Going to the gym is fun
-The opposite sex

Today I break down my framework that I use with every client and the listeners an overview of how I would set up their nutrition for the year in a way that allows them to be shredded during summer, only diet for 3 months of the year, and sustain this cycle for the rest of their lives.

It's called nutritional periodization, the premise is this:

Your diet should be treated much like a sports seasons-
Pre-season (preparing for the diet, habits being built, limiting beliefs being reframed, exc)
In-season (actively dieting; strict macro followings, reducing nights out, discipline)
Post-season (Recovering from the diet, increase food slowly back to maintenance)
Off-season (Maintenance or surplus to sustain or increase muscle mass)

REPEAT!

This cycle will allow you to have different seasons throughout the year so you're not "dieting" 24/7. This is where people experience burnout.

This also allows clients to have periods of the year where they are focusing less on their diet and more on things like:
-Strength gains in the gym
-More time with family and loved ones
-Having fun outside of the gym
-Focusing on their business
-Rest and Recover

I've found tremendous results with myself and my clients using this framework so I encourage you to get a calendar and ask yourself when do you want your seasons to be? Then start back tracking from there.

Today's episode was recorded in a hotel room with myself and 3 other fitness coaches I met for the first time at a Mastermind event in Ohio. We are all mentored by Erin Dimond and Jordan Dugger and after hanging out all day and getting to know each other we decided to sit down and share each others stories of how fitness has impacted our lives. We go down multiple rabbit holes and rants so strap in because this is a longer episode (about an hour) but I believe there is tons of value being a fly on the wall during an open and honest conversation with Austin Bagshaw, Madison Litchtfeld, Yari Rincon and myself. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

You can follow each of these coaches on Instagram at:

Today I had the pleasure of sitting down and talking with my man Jeremiah. Jeremiah is the creator of BairFit which is his online training platform. I met Jeremiah a couple years ago at the airport in Seattle before heading to a Cody McBroom Mastermind event that weekend. We recognized each other from social media and got to talking about our backstories and where we wanted to take our coaching businesses. It was really cool to meet another online coach for the first time.

Over the weekend we spent most of our time focusing on our own businesses that we didn’t get a chance to really sit down and talk about training and nutrition and I knew I wanted to pick his brain. After looking at his content I could see he loved learning about training methodologies and had great information to share.

So today we sit down and we talk about Jeremiah’s journey through fitness and how they reluctantly lead to coaching, we talk about the inner work needed to take your fitness to the next level and then we go off on some training tangents, these conversations are very much great information for any client wanting to learn a little bit more about the why behind your programming and how based on your lifestyle factors we can create a program that meets your needs.

This was a super fun conversation for me where I left feeling like I learned a great deal about some new techniques that I can implement with my clients so if you’re looking to learn make sure you have a pen and pad ready to take some notes on this one.

Today I sit down with my good friend Karon Hawkins aka Coach Kronic. I met Karon at a mastermind hosted by Cody McBroom in Seattle. We started by going around stating our goals with our business and when it came to Karon I distinctly remember him saying "I want to build an empire" with the utmost certainty and I immediately wanted to get to know him more because greatness recognizes greatness. In the episode, we get into some of that trip and our night out on the dance floor.

We also get into the backstory that brought Karon into coaching clients in person and online. This was not the initial career he had in mind and actually, after getting his first degree in information systems and business, he got a job at Time Warner Inc. as a cybersecurity analyst.

This was the first time Karon experienced what financial security felt like and to his disappointment he found dreading work in the morning despite that financial security. It didn't fulfill him in a way that excited him every day, the reality was he never had one day like that for a year so he left in pursuit of a Master's Degree in Health and Physical Activity. This was surprising to a lot of friends and family because Karon grew up unathletic, in drama classes, and a dancer but this passion was something he's never experienced before.

One of Karon's biggest reasons for getting into this field was because he dealt with chronic pain (hence Coach Kronic) and because of this coaching and focus was on how to optimize the body to reduce and eliminate pain. This started with the supple leopard, then FRC and eventually he stumbled onto an account called flobility. And after interviewing Jordan (the creator of flobility) and trying out his principle for almost a year he is certain this is the missing piece the industry is looking for!
Karon has also been nice enough to share a mini-series of theirs if you are interested in what Flobility is about which you can access here:

In this episode, Matt Yates joins us to really break down the mental side of weight loss and habit change. Matt and I talk about what a belief is and how beliefs become limiting beliefs. Once you understand what a belief is you start to realize the constant thought loops we catch ourselves in every day and how those can push you towards your goals or keep you in the same place not taking action. After that Matt breaks down the non-utility of someone's self-critic and how to break that in someone by talking to their inner child. After that we get into one of my biggest fears: Fear of Judgement and how that doesn't even exist due to the fact that we are all in our own heads and as a result, this fear of judgment is really self-created. We also get into believing you are worthy right now and forever based on being a human being and nothing else, how to fill your cup up without feeling empty, how to use your emotions as guideposts to the present, emotional connections with food, and so much more! This was honestly my favorite podcast to date and if you think one of your friends out there needs to hear this conversation please post on your story and share with them!!

If you guys don't remember Zak from our last episode (I know it's been a couple of weeks, my physique show took all my focus, new episode on that coming soon) he is getting his Masters in Kinesiology at UCF and under the guidance of Ben Patrick (creator of ATG Athletic Training Group), Zak is here to talk about The Principles of Athletic Development.
When it comes to Athletic Development as explained by Zak we have 6 Principles:

1) Get out of pain
2) Increase our relative strength
3) Increase our relative strength in a full range of motion
4) Increase relative strength in a balanced fashion
5) Specifically, address feet and ankles
6) Be able to do this on a gradient scale

And we go DEEP into each section of these principles, I think this is such a valuable episode for any athlete our there trying to take their game to the next level! And when you sum all these principles up it really comes down to developing your weakest link.

We then get into how the strength and conditioning departments in schools and sports will see these principles become the norm. We also talk about how you can use these principles for an athlete in season to improve their performance instead of just hoping to maintain their current athleticism.

Once we finish the talk about these principles I talk about how to properly fuel an athlete and most specifically an athlete who participates in a glycolytic sport such as a 400m run, soccer, basketball, etc.
After we talk about this Zak and I go back and forth on our views of periodization, paleo, carnivore, earn your carbs, etc.

Again I think this is a super educational episode with a lot to take in so get your Pen and paper ready!
