Then we discuss about some of the surprises that life throws at us and the unpredictability of the process.

In this episode we recap how my training cycle has been going lead up to the future Triathlon. 

We also talk about the fitness industry and some of the limitations it has experienced after seeing a resurgence of sorts in the social media world. Personal Trainers are starting to become mainstream on many platforms and we discuss whether or not this is a good thing?

In this episode we discuss the socialization of society in how it relates to achievement. We ask some tough questions about the value of 'winning' and the importance of success. As we are growing up in a different generation than our parents, expectations shfift. Hopefully we do not lose ourselves within them.

In the latest episode I discuss one of my favourite times of the year. Competition time! I breakdown the rules and regulations for an upcoming in-house competition being hosted by my organization as well as give a little background to the value of competition.

Next, the discussion shifts to the Personal Training industry and one of the most common poor decisions made by new trainers as they begin their journey. We consider not only why this decision can be critical but also what the benefit of making a better decision will make for business and professional development.

In this episode I discuss a 'showdown' that I had recently in my neighbourhood which was very contentious.

In addition, we discuss commitment and how it manifests itself in different areas of life.  Hoping to be able to work our way to a place where we are able to be honest about our personal expectations from ourselves.

This episode features a unique discussion around the 'reality' of the business of fitness. I spend time giving relevant examples of not so honest marketing as well as three examples in the form of personal anecdotes to support the perspective.

I would hope that by the end of the podcast you have been given enough perspective to garner a greater appreciation as to why the fitness industry is not always as transparent as it could be.

Remember your integrity at all times. Never lose sight of reality in by getting caught up in a constructed one.

In this second part of the similarly titled episode episode we tackle the hard discussion around the social implications of current world issues through multiple lenses and perspectives. The hope is that listeners will be able to appreciate a less than common perspective to a very sensitive subject matter. As a reminder this is part two of a two part series.
