Do you know what the purpose of Science is? Have you figured out which program or diet will get you the most strength gains? How about them booty gains?

I've struggled for years finding the "perfect" diet and training program. Looking at science research isn't always intuitive and can be challenging trying to figure out which program works best for you.

On this episode, I was fortunate enough to be able to pick Lauren Colenso's brain regarding diet, training, squats, and how to use science to figure out when to use which programs.

Learn everything you wanted to know about training, science, booty gains, and finding what works for you on Episode 006.

Have you ever wondered which training methodology is the best? Do you struggle with consistently seeing results after a few months of a program? Your plateaus MUST be because you aren't on the right program, right? Or could they be coming from you not putting the time into ONE program long term? :)

I've struggled for years finding the "perfect" training program. And I fully admit that I've failed many times due to jumping from shiny new toy to shiny new toy. It wouldn't be until much later that I would learn that staying consistent is the only way to see true progress long term. Now, that doesn't mean you can't tweak minor things to bring in variability. But, MINOR is the key term here. Learn from my mistakes and don't waste years of your life program jumping!

On this episode, I was fortunate enough to be able to pick Dr. Jon Mike's brain regarding training, sticking to a program, and being able to change it up without falling off the bandwagon.

Learn everything you wanted to know about strength, power, and sticking to a system long term, on Episode 005.

Have you ever wondered how young athletes should be training? Should you start your kids off in a specific sport at a young age? How do you come back after an injury? And how do you show up and give your best everyday?

I grew up playing sports my entire life. Well, jumping from sport to sport is a better way to describe my journey. I would routinely get injured and it wasn't until much later that I realized I never started with a solid strength base that would have prevented many of these injuries.

In the episode, I was fortunate enough to be able to pick John Cortese's brain regarding training, daily routines, why young athletes should be generalizing before getting into a sport, and how to get fit and show up everyday. I am super excited to share this one with you.

Learn everything you wanted to know about showing up and giving your best, on Episode 004.

Have you ever wondered how to invest in real estate? Why do some people make a lot of money and other seem to struggle? When it comes to long term buy and holds vs flips, what should you get into?

I've always had a passion for real estate and architecture. In fact, my goal was to be an architect! Unfortunately, it turns out that drawing was pretty important in that field and I am no good at anything harder than stick figures.

In the episode, I was lucky enough to chat with Patrick Osterling on real estate, strategies, the mindset it takes to think about assets rather than liabilities, and much more.

Learn everything you wanted to know about real estate, on Episode 003.

Are you still chasing goals you created years ago? Do you understand how to take a systematic approach to create the life you've always wanted? Or do you feel stuck day after day?

I've never been great at creating, setting, or following through on my goals. Actually, I am awesome at creating them, but finding simple ways to follow through on my goals and hold myself accountable has always been much harder for me.

In the episode, I was fortunate enough to chat with Drew Amoroso on productivity, setting goals, systematic strategies to improve your day to day, and much more.

Learn everything you wanted to know about productivity, on Episode 002.

Have you ever wondered how muscles work? Do you know why some people have more “fast twitch” muscle fibers while others are predominantly slow? Are you able to train your muscle to change from one type to the other?

Muscle has always been a mystery to me until I started my work into the field on Kinesiology at Cal Poly. That’s where I started to learn about our Anatomy and Physiology. I took one class on Muscle Physiology and always knew I wanted to learn more.

In the episode, I was lucky enough to pull from the extensive knowledge of Dr. Jimmy Bagley on genetics, muscle, how to test aspects of your training and your own human physiology, and much more. I am super excited to share this one with you.
