In this episode, I interview Melanie Richman as she shares her fitness journey & lessons from the past 16 months in the Return of the Athlete program.

She's a badass woman whose accomplishments include: climbing Mt. Rainier, running a half-marathon, and multiple physique competitions. She's a great example of someone identifying a goal, chasing it, realizing the goal, and then reassessing what her next mission is.

Golf is a sport that requires patience much like weight loss. You can't shoot 4 under par on one hole just like one workout won't lose you 20lbs. 

After a recent golfing trip in Bend, Oregon, I realized how much the mindset of good golfers are alike to the mindsets my most successful weight loss clients have had.

Topics covered:

1. Maintaining Is Winning
2. The Importance Of A Short Memory
3. Process > Result
4. Aggressive Patience
5. Knowing Where Your Misses Are
