IT'S. ALL. DAY.

Today we have Carter Good on the show!

Carter is a fellow nutrition coach who has most definitely walked the walk along with being able to talk the talk. When Carter was in high school he went through a tough time while his parents divorce was a big scene in his small town.

As a coping mechanism to the stress Carter found comfort in food and ultimately ended up weighing at his heaviest 305lbs while being 5'11.

This was a gradual weight gain but eventually had to come to an end, Carter was able to drop about 150lbs and get back into shape and doing so, he gained some recognition from some fitness pages congratulating him on his achievement.

He decided afterwards that he had a love for fitness and ultimately wanted to help others have the same success he had. In today's show we talk about his business, his approach to coaching, how at some point everyone needs to have fitness be one of the most important things in their life if they ever want to find sustainability and so much more!

I was super excited to have Carter on and I hope you all enjoy the show!

In todays episode we sit down with Graham Tuttle!

Graham is a Coach much like myself but he actually only started his athletic career 5-6 years ago. Growing up he was actually the exact opposite of an athlete, this however, was only due to some physical struggles he had growing up.

When Graham was 2 years old he got his pair of glasses because he had terrible vision. As a result growing up wearing glasses he didn't have very much peripheral vision, this stunted his athletic ability greatly. It wasn't until much later in Graham's life that he started lifting as his way into starting his athletic journey.

Graham started with weightlifting because you didn't really need vision for lifting, you can be quite intuitive and "feel" the weight as you lift more than any sport that required hand eye coordination. But something funny happened.

Once he started lifting he realized that he is capable of making changes in his body and any aspect of his life he was lacking in only needed the skill development to get there. This was Graham's wind behind his sails and this started his athletic career.

Graham now is an ATG Endorsed Coach and has a running program specific to helping people gain strength, mobility and confidence in their running ability in 28 days that we talked about on todays show.

We dove deep into the aspect of your foot, and why strengthening them is so foundational to ones life. We get into the history of wear the first foam sole shoe came from and how Americans are degrading their foot strength since the birth of this foam sole shoe.

We talk about how you can start improving your foot health today with 3 tips Graham shares in the podcast and much more!

I hope you enjoy the show!

This last week I had the pleasure of attending one of Dr. Jordan Peterson's Lectures he was giving on his book tour through America. He was speaking primarily on Rule #4 from his newest book "Beyond Order 12 More Rules for Life".

Rule #4 is: Notice That Opportunity Lurks Where Responsibility Has Been Abdicated.

The overarching theme in my opinion was to encourage all of us to bear as much responsibility as possible, why?

Well for a couple reasons:

-The Majority of people these days are avoiding responsibilities and feel like they don't deserve to have success because of their existential guilt for having privilege in the first place and society is trying to cancel anyone who tries to succeed or go against the grain rich now.

-Because there is value in difficulty. Dr. Peterson talks about the importance of making yourself invaluable through doing difficult things and bearing responsibilities because without this your life ultimately has no purpose.

-He then explained further the point of Responsibility and Meaning in one's life, using the story of Peter Pan to illustrate what happens when you avoid responsibility and meaning.

-And finally he talked about the importance of rescuing your father from the belly of the beast with an Egyptian story about The God of Order Osirius and his son, The God of Attention Horus.

All and all I thought this was an amazing lecture and I hope I do his explanation justice in this podcast episode.

If you want to read more of Dr. Jordan Peterson's work you can find all his books on Amazon or any other major book retailer, as well as watch his own Podcast on Youtube!

Today you get to hear me from a different point of view, instead of doing the interview I am being interviewed by my fellow coach Zak Woodward on his new podcast, The ATP Podcast.

If you recall, Zak has been on the show twice (Episode 7&8) and now instead of talking training principles we are diving DEEP into the nutrition and mindset side of personal development.

This side of health and fitness is always something that I personally love getting into because for me the mindset side of things is where I made the most improvements in my life.

In today's podcast I share a lot of important moments of my life that showcase the importance of mental health and mindset transformation.

I talk about my bouts with depression, how therapy saved my life, the importance of meditation, journaling and other biohacking tools to keep myself in the best mental state as possible.

This podcast also helps show anyone who's interested in coaching how it can go way past just sets, reps and macros when it comes to working with a coach and how something going on mentally with you can be the biggest thing holding you back.

I hope you enjoy listening to this show!

In today's episode I sit down and chat with Aussie Keegan Smith, aka The ATG Mentor.

Keegan grew up playing multiple sports, but Rugby and Hockey were his main sports. His dad was a Rugby team head coach and because of that he grew up in and around a professional sports team environment. This helped him develop as an athlete himself, at one point trying to make it on the olympic team for Australia.

In school and university he was always curious but didn't love the traditional school system, he preferred to teach himself because he felt like the teachers at his school were just there to go through the motions. He ended up with a sport science degree but for the majority of his 20s spent his time backpacking do odd jobs to make ends meet because he hadn't exactly figured out what he wanted to do and what his path was. His health fell off during this time.

After multiple years backpacking his felt he was ready to head home; he started training in the rugby gym where his dad was the head coach pushing himself to become better, working with the assistant coach at the time during odd hours of the day. He felt like he could do something with his training and coaching at home but found himself heading off to France to become the Head Strength Coach at a struggling Rugby team.

It was here his coaching career starting to gain some momentum. He helped a team that finished last place the previous year finish around 10th in the table after his first year and then his 2nd year his team finished in the top 4 showing great signs of improvement in their athletic performances.

In was in this team environment he first started to notice how if you put people in the right environments they can achieve more than they previously thought was possible. This became one of Keegan's first interests in trying to solve.

This led to Keegan starting his own online education platform where we would work and connect with other coaches trying to build their business' and help their athletes. Years later he found Ben Smith, the creator of The ATG System that helps athletes bulletproof their knees and increase their athletic potential. This system was the first system that could put a lot of Keegan's previous ideas into a simple and easy to understand system athletes and coaches could use.

After a little bit of time connecting with Ben he created ATG for coaches which is a community and education platform that helps teach other coaches, athletes and the like how to use this system and spread its message effectively.

This is how Keegan became The ATG Mentor.

After this part of the podcast we switch gears and talk about early adoption into the crypto and NFT space; something Keegan has been researching intensely for awhile. If you haven't fulled grasped the concept of NFTs and Crypto then this part of the podcast will help you tremendously. It was great help for me as well.

We finish off with a talk about some philosophy, we dive into some of Keegan's core values, we speak about how family can be a benefit for some and not for others depending on the relationship, and finally we close with a discussion on how it is vitally important to "pursue what it meaningful, not expedient" something that can be difficult in a day and age like this.

I had an amazing time connecting on a deeper level with one of my coaches and think that any person can benefit from this conversation and hearing Keegan share his story and his principles for life!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

The New Year has started off with me getting COVID finally...took me 2 years for it to happen and I gotta say, it was ROUGH.

I ended up having two really tough days but after that the rest of my days haven't been that bad. It did end up making me miss my trip to Arizona this weekend to attend the IFCA Live Event. This is an event put on by my mentors for fitness coaches so we can learn from people ahead of us as well as connect with other coaches who are in the same position we are in.

Even though I couldn't be there in person I got tremendous value from watching virtually and am sharing my lessons learned from the speakers on this episode.

The lessons include things like:
-𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐯𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞.⁣
-𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐦𝐲 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬.⁣
-𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.⁣
-𝐀𝐬𝐤 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.⁣
-𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬. ⁣
-𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬.⁣

I go into much more detail in the episode and bring some fire/motivation when sharing so I hope you enjoy and take some lessons yourself from this episode!

Happy New Year!!!

Welcome to 2022! We've got a brand new year ahead of us, time to get planning and start executing we haven't got any time to waste!

In today's episode I break down and give you a glimpse into my mind and how I am going to be planning out my year ahead. For me this year is all about answering two questions:

1-Can you actually transform yourself into a field player on the soccer field?
2-Can you actually put 100% into your business and take it seriously? Can you build a team for your biz?

These to questions are huge for me because if I can't step up and answer these questions with a resounding YES! At the end of the year then my overarching goal of becoming a professional soccer player won't be realized.

So when it comes to answering these questions one thing is ever present; this is going to take some planning!

And in today's episode I break down how I am planning out this year and what I'm using to ensure this happens. In this episode I share 3 techniques you can implement TODAY to increase your likelihood of actually achieving your New Years Goals!

I hope you enjoy!

In today's episode we are sitting down and talking with The Fitness Shaman, and we're going deep on why mindset is so important in any transformations we go through in life. Shaun wasn't always a life coach, he started out as collegiate swimmer back in the day. After that, growing up in LA he got into the entertainment industry and thought it would be the dream job only to find out that wasn't the lifestyle he wanted to live.

So he transitioned into a sales job that lasted for 8 years where he started dating and eventually marrying his wife Dala. They build their coaching business to a point where now their company is coaching 1,400 active clients for nutrition and fitness, Dala also coahes other online coaches to build their business and Shaun does Life Coaching with some of these clients as well.

Since Shaun's main passion was around mindset it made sense for him to make the transition into Life Coaching and this is where the majority of the conversation on today's show resided.

We got into confidence creation, masculine and feminine energy, quieting the negative self talk.

Shaun gave some great tips around things like:
-Creating your own Highlight Reel
-Creating a Smile File
-Some book recommendations around Peak Performance.

On top of this The Fitness Shaman also has a book coming out EARLY NEXT YEAR! The book is called "Hack Your Health" so be on the lookout for that next year!

If you want to hear Shaun more he has a podcast called "Shots to the Dome"

Today I reflect on week one of my new big goal I'm after. If you didn't listen to my last podcast I'd highly recommend you check that out to hear about how and why I'm deciding to make the move to England in 2023 to try to make it on a pro soccer team.

After week one the biggest thing I realized that in order to achieve this goal I've got a lot of planning ahead to make this dream happen.

Things are a little different now versus when I was in college playing soccer, coaching at CrossFit and working on my degree. Even though that seems difficult the reality is that running a business, a podcast, having a relationship and just being older makes it more difficult because adulting takes more time.

Today I share the mindset around why you need a plan of attack if you're going to make some big changes in the 2022 and following this podcast I will break down how I am going to attack this next year to prepare for the big move.

I hope enjoy!

Today I'm talking about why I've decided to quit my prep for my next physique show and why I'm quitting now so I can start training for my next goal which is a big one!

My new goal moving forward is to move to England in 2023 to attempt to make it as a pro soccer player; and to add a little more complexity to the goal I'm actually going out for a field player position not even a goalkeeper. If you didn't know I played collegiate soccer as a goalkeeper but my height was always an issue. I'm not short at about 6 feet tall but for a goalkeeper that's definitely on the shorter side.

In today's podcast I talk about why this next physique show was only a goal of mine for my ego. I also talk about why I think I have the ability to train specifically to be a soccer player and why your dreams need to be massive like mine is right now.

I plan on recording some future podcast breaking down all the logistics and details about how I am going to be training in the gym and on the field, what my nutrition is going to look like, how I'm goal setting along the way, exc. to be an example to anyone out there who is chasing a big goal of their own!

Details matter when it comes to accomplishing goals like this. I'm excited and nervous to take on a goal like this but this is what the ITS.ALL.DAY. Podcast and Brand is all about!

I hope you enjoy!
