Best Selling Author, Brian Keane Shares His High-Performance Routines, Habits & Traits Of A Great Role Model

Back in 2018, I jumped on a Skype call with Brian to ask for his advice on growing my fitness business while I was still working as a full-time teacher in Abu Dhabi.

Since then, my life has dramatically changed, and I owe a lot of my success to the advice and guidance I received from Brian on that call.

7 years later, it was an absolute pleasure to have Brian on the podcast.

We talked on a range of topics such as high-performance routines and habits, what a week looks like for Brian as a business owner and dad , and the traits of a great role model...

We also dived into some of Brian's hardest moments in life and what he learned from them.

This was a raw, open and honest episode, and I am excited to share the conversation with you guys.

Here is a quick clip from this week's podcast.

You can listen to the full episode from the show before this one.

Dr. Mariza Snyder is an educator, best-selling author and wellness advocate.

She is passionate about helping women over 40 feel like themselves again.

More than a decade ago, she was chronically sick, feeling wired and tired, and experiencing a sensation of constant overwhelm from the combination of both work and going to graduate school to become a practitioner.

Like many women she knew, she was being held captive by crazy unbalanced hormones and overwhelmed with life.

She realized that she needed to change her lifestyle if she wanted to feel like her old self again.

On that journey she reclaimed her life and her body and now she helps others to do the same using proven protocols to increase energy, lose weight and improve mood.

She is also the host of the Energized podcast and her new book ' The Perimenopause revolution – reclaim your hormones, metabolism and energy is available now.

A quick one today.

To mix things up on the podcast for the next few months, I'm going with 'themed months' - December will be mostly peri and post menopause. January will be fat loss and weight loss (with a big guest in between), February will be high performance and then most of 2026 will be lot more solo episodes (based on your feedback)

My new perimenopause and menopause program THRIVE THROUGH CHANGE is open now ahead of the new year. If you're in that season of life, check it out below and see if its a fit.
