  • 48. Barrier Bashing

    Being stuck in your pursuit of any goal (fitness, career, relationships, or even with yourself) can suck!

    The hard part about being stuck is not knowing what to do next. Well in this episode we define 7 stages of inaction each with the problem and a solution on how to identify where you are and how to get yourself to the next stage.

    This is how we judge (ahhh coach) someone to get their results and understand the potential they have in front of them.

    Enjoy the show!

  • 47. The #1 Thing to Fix any Diet

    We pack this episode with myths, truths, and pro-tips with our knowledge and experience on how to level up your nutrition strategy with Protein as the focal point.

    We believe a real and true nutrition plan gives you a margin for error. We look at food like money. When you are running a business there is a famous saying, "No margin. No mission." The same concept can be said about your nutrition and fitness.

    We will go into how you can enjoy the fruits of your labor (by working out and eating effectively). Friday night pizza with the family. An ice cream treat after a softball game could be part of your week if you have the metabolism to 'afford' the treat. Metabolism is your margin for error for the short term and the key to long term results.

    Enjoy the show!

    (5:05) Why people don't eat enough protein?

    (8:15) Breaking down where to begin

    (9:30) The real reason(s) why protein is so important

    (12:30) Metabolism is the magic of a nutrition plan.

    1. Start Tracking
    2. Find the additions
    3. Mix your protein in a meal
    4. You can make the same protein in 6 different ways.

    Pro-Tips

    1. Order more protein #doubleProtein
    2. Eat your protein first with your meal

  • 46. Secrets of Discipline

    Discipline is not motivation. Discipline is not willpower. Discipline is not about sacrifice or even punishment.

    In my rants over the past few years (since our boys were born) about "Is raising children similar to getting real fitness?" This has led us to find some great books about the best practices for raising kids. The more we read these kinds of books the more we realize how parenting books apply just as much to adults in our field of exercise, nutrition, and accountability in regards to healthy living.

    The newest lightbulb is about discipline (today's episode topic). We have uncovered the "Macros of Discipline". Just like nutrition has macronutrients for eating (Protein, Carbs, and Fat). Real discipline has macros as well...

    Train Compliance = Habits

    Teach Skills = Practice

    Manage Choices = Right / Wrong

    Join us in this conversation and allow us to flip your definition and mentality on how to build discipline for the long haul.

  • 44. Vision is Greater than Goal Setting

    You will lead your life by design or default. When it comes to standard goal setting we really miss the boat with how we can set ourselves up.

    ✅ Short and Long-Term Goals

    ✅ How Roles and identity play a MAJOR role in your vision (and how it changes over time)

    ✅ How to Measure Success (it's not #'s and achievement)

    Some BIG Take-aways:

    (20:15) You are closer than you think you are.

    (26:26) It pulls a lot of vulnerabilities out of you.
