What's up y'all....just an impromptu show today, sitting down and letting you know what the happening is with MettleBarbell, answering a couple Q&A questions I have received, and talking about fitness as a whole as we see it in 2021. Small hint at a guest for next week, can you guess who?!

Life is fucking cool, so I'm sharing a little!

My favorite episode to date, got to sit down with Alex Uslar, out of Miami Florida to talk about his career journey in the fitness industry from the early days within a crossfit gym, to his time with the HYBRID company and now into his own new ventures. I also got to learn about Alex beyond fitness and the powerlifting scene, which was awesome and this episode is not one to miss. Message from this one: stretch your limits, and be selfish (or cold minded) to truly find your passion.

Today I sat down by myself to dive into my top 10 characteristics or traits that describe confident people in business (relating mostly to the fitness industry as that is my most relevant). Speaking on self confidence is something that is really cool because obviously there is a big umbrella definition or set of traits that describe confident people, but not everyone is the same so why would their definition of self confidence be?

Back for a round 2 discussion with my guy Ethan. We decided to dissect the topic of sales from multiple avenues (B2B and B2C for example) while also talking about how psychology plays a role, along with some new topics such as pain point selling and others. For anyone involved in a profession that deals with customer relations, sales and target marketing this is one for you.

My college buddy, Ryan Clausen, was gracious enough to come on the show to talk about his career over the past 10+ years in the MLB business as a strength coach. We talk about how he got started with an internship, that leading to his position with the big club and his early years. We also talk briefly about the 2016 season and the surrounding years what it was like to be in that winning culture and get a world series championship. Ryan also tells us some of the best advice he has gotten and information he has learned to be in the position he is in over his career, and even shares some of the Hall Of Fame players he has worked alongside or met throughout his years. This is a great episode for anyone looking to branch into this field, and thank you Ryan for giving us your time. Thank you to the Cubs organization for allowing Ryan to join us today. Enjoy!

From Ryan: "I would like to credit my wife, Meghan for all the love and support she has given me along the way. I never had a chance to really plug her. She is the biggest influence on my life. So if you could please add that in, I would greatly appreciate it."

Former Pro Bowl QB Gus Frerotte sat down with me for a chat about his playing career from his early days in HS all the way to the 14 years he played in the NFL! Gus is a devout family man, and is now turning the passion that got him drafted to the league into business and his life after football. This was a great opportunity for me, as a fan of the game of football for my entire life, to chat with someone who is now excelling in career after sports. Gus has his show "Huddle Up With Gus" that has featured many athletes past and present, hall of famers and a wide range of guests! Give this. a listen, and tune into HUWG as well!
