In today's episode we talk about 3 techniques to confront your fears:
-Exposure Therapy
-Immersion Therapy
-Talk Therapy (CBT)

These 3 techniques have been tremendous to my progress in my life whether it's my physical health, my mental health, my relationships and my friendships.

-Exposure Therapy is a way for you to START SMALL in confronting your fears. An example would be; the gym scares you. A way to confront this fear would be going to the gym at their "dead hours" so there isn't a lot of people and over time you will be able to go to the gym when it's packed and not care about the other people through exposure therapy.

-Immersion Therapy is a little different, instead of starting small immersion therapy is all about GOING ALL IN! This is when you dive in the deep end of the pool vs. walking in step by step slowly.

-Talk Therapy, now disclaimer** I am not a therapist but I have gone to therapy for years and in this podcast I talk about my positive experience in going to therapy and being able to voice your fears to a professional. If the other 2 techniques didn't work then I would suggest finding a therapist where you can try out Talk Therapy or CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)

I hope you enjoy!

Today's deep dive into why I think it's important to transform your body. I talk about my struggle as a coach to market to potential clients using the surface level topics of fitness and nutrition (weight loss, cardio, calorie tracking,exc.) when my favorite things to dive into are the mindset pieces that surround your transformation being successful or not.

I lay out a reoccurring path I see so many people take that is "safe and comfortable", something I don't believe will give you a fulfilling life. And instead I talk about the hard things you have to look at in order to have a fulfilling life.

This was a really fun podcast for me to have and I hope you enjoy it!

Today's episode is a quick little Monday Motivation! Today I talk about 3 reasons why every man needs fitness in his life.

The 3 reasons are:
-Fear Reduction
-Confidence
-Energy Enhancement

I believe every man who goes into the gym and actually changes his body will experience these 3 effects.

They will have much less fear in social situations due to their increased strength and ability to defend themselves if necessary.

They will gain more confidence in all areas of their life because they proved to themselves that they are the creator of their experience here on this earth and by proving to themselves they can change their body they realize they can change anything.

And they will increase overall energy from the effects of consistently going to the gym, having a solid nutrition based diet, getting good sleep, hydrating, exc.

A lot of men have yet to experience the power of creating the body of their dreams and today's episode is a reminder and motivation for these men to start today in this pursuit!

I hope you enjoy!

In this episode I share some lessons I learned from getting my wisdom teeth taken out and how I first handled the pain of the surgery wasn't helping me mentally, it was only making things worse.

I realized that where your focus goes your energy flows; and if I was focusing only on the pain of my mouth then all that was amplified in my life was the pain in my mouth and it caused me to be very irritable this last week.

I couldn't help but correlate this pain and negative attitude I was experiencing to someone else who was going through their own weight loss journey/physical transformation and how if they only focused on the negative then their experience is going to be negative.

So in this podcast I share how I instead put my focus on things I can control:
-Focused on hitting my steps
-Focused on reading 10pgs./day
-Focused on my meditation

And by focusing on these aspects of my day and hitting these mini goals I was able to create small hits of dopamine and these small hits of dopamine allowed me to focus less on my teeth and the pain I was experiencing.

I believe if anyone out there is on their own journey the more you focus on small, achievable targets you will create small dopamine hits that will give you the motivation to keep going!

I hope you enjoy the episode!!

In this episode I share the reality of my current living situation and why I'm moving out to go live with a roommate in order to keep going after my dreams and goals. I've been living in this apartment for a year and at this point financially it just doesn't make sense to keep paying the amount I am because it will only cause more stress than relief.

As much as I love this place and being able to live on my own, right next to the beach and the river, I love being able to chase my dreams more.

In this episode I talk about the infinite game vs. a finite game and how my business, my health and my relationships are all infinite games and the only way to "win" an infinite game is to outlast the other competitors. And in order for me to do that, I have to make sacrifices and today's sacrifice is giving up my apartment so I can pay less per month and keep chasing my goals.

The reason I'm sharing this is to give my own real life example of what it takes to achieve your goals much like someone listening to this may have to make financial sacrifices to be able to afford a coach, gym membership, healthy food choices, exc. to be able to chase their own dreams. But most of us don't do this, most of us instead choose the more financially taxing choice in order to keep up appearances and "keep up with the joneses" and this isn't helping you in any way. It's only protecting your ego. It's trying to play a finite game.

I hope you enjoy the episode and choose your dreams over looking fancy for people who ultimately don't matter!

In this episode I cry on air for the first time full disclosure. This was recorded 2 days after I visited my GMA in Virginia and ultimately right before she passed away. While I was over in VA I came back with 3 lessons that my grandparents taught me without them even knowing.

1. I learned my GPA was and still is a badass even though he passed away 5 years ago. He truly set the standard in my opinion of what it means to be a man in the Page Family.
2. I learned that when you take a trip like this that isn't a "vacation" doesn't give you permission to slip up on your goals, it just means it's going take more discipline and effort to stay on track.
3. I learned that sometimes all someone wants is to see you and to be in your presence because it makes their day a little bit better.

I wasn't expecting to come back with these insights after seeing my GMA but when I came back from this trip I couldn't help but share this insights with you all.

I hope you enjoy the episode!

Today I talk about the importance of self talk.

In this episode I wanted to hammer home the idea that seeking negatively to yourself is only hurting your chances of reaching your goals. I talk about a mindset coach and performance expert Trevor Moawad and the research he's done on negative vs. positive thinking.

And what he found was that Harvard did a study on this; they found that when someone speaks something out loud, those were have 10x the strength than if they were just thought in ones head. On top of that they found that if what was said out loud was negative that those words were a multiple of 4-7x stronger just because the words had a negative connotation.

So that means that if you were to say something negative about yourself out loud that those words now have 40-70x the strength then a negative thought that was just running through your head.

This stat blew my mind!!

I share Trevor's concept of "neutral thinking" for those who simply cant make the jump from negative thoughts to positive ones, neutral thinking might be the bridge to that gap.

And lastly I talk about how the past isn't predictive to your future, if you change your behaviors. Your behaviors are way out ahead of any success you're after so if you want to make some serious changes in your life that start looking at what behaviors you need to change and you'll find yourself getting much closer to those goals much faster once you start changing your behaviors in accordance with your goal.

I hope you enjoy and if you did please share this podcast with someone you know has a little too much negative self talk or self deprecation! I'm sure they will appreciate it!

Today I wanted to give you two frameworks to work with when it comes to setting BIG goals and actually achieving them! This concept is called The Clouds and The Dirt.

The Clouds=Your BIG dreams that pull you out of bed every morning and make each day matter! This is the peak at the end of your hero's journey.

The Dirt = The actual day to day tasks required to achieve such a big and audacious goal.

This concept was first shared with me by a guy named Gary Vaynerchuk 5 years ago and its stuck with me since.

The Clouds = Your goals have to be so big that on the days you're sick of The Dirt you can look up and remember WHY you're doing this work. It's for something bigger and better. Something bigger than just you, its about leaving an impact on the world, your community, your clients, your family, exc.
Because without a goal this big, on the days when The Dirt feels like shit, you'll quit because "what's the point?"

The Dirt: This is what I believe separates the average from the Truly Great Achievers in the world. The Dirt are your daily habits, your daily checklists, that move you 1 step closer to your goals. And based on how big your goals are will determine how many days you have to live in the dirt before you ascent to the clouds.
You must love The Dirt! The Dirt is where character, grit and your identity are developed. It's the Hero's Journey. The best of the best, love rolling their sleeves up and getting to work because IT'S WHO THEY ARE!

As you listen to this podcast you will hear me talk about how you must CHANGE:

• What you do
• What you value
• What you believe

In order to become the person you've always wanted to be. And the process of becoming that person is hard work, its messy, it isn't fair, and you live in The Dirt for awhile...but its the only way you reach your goals and actually make it to The Clouds.

Hope you enjoy!

Today I break down a very common way of thinking that has some benefits but mostly has a detriment to your health and fitness journey and that's Black & White Thinking! All in or all out! Good or Bad!

Pros:
-Safety purposes (ex.-telling children that you're never allowed to play in the streets or to look both ways before crossing a busy street)
-Time management and productivity; when you set a timer to work and focus you do not stray away from that allotted time or else you won't get as much done as you could.
-Things like domestic abuse have a black and white thought ideal around them.

Cons: (Far outweighs the pros)
-Limits our options; only gives us two choices, success or failure.
example- Labeling foods "Good" or "Bad" (this is very common)
-Can cause depression or anxiety; because either the person is happy or the person is completely sad.
-Anger; because either the person gets exactly what they wanted or anything other than that is pointless in their eyes.

Solutions for B&W Thinking:
-Recognize Context: What is good for 1 person could be bad for another depending on the context. Context is king and the more context you have the less likely you will be thinking in B&W thoughts.
-Use a scale of 0-10 instead of only B&W options when asked how you're feeling, how is progress, exc.

Hope you enjoy!
