The GetAlpha Mindset

In this retrospective episode, the crew looks back on some of the most impactful conversations from the season and dives into honest discussions about fitness, health, mindset, and real life balance.

Eddie Carmona joins the table to share insights from both sides of the industry as a chiropractor, personal trainer, and group fitness coach. Together, the group reflects on standout guests like Chris Calder, Lexi, and Little T, breaking down lessons around sales, coaching, body image, social media influence, and what real progress actually looks like.

The conversation moves from lighthearted topics like binge watching shows and gaming habits into deeper discussions around training myths, Pilates culture, influencer fitness, body dysmorphia, and the realities of pushing the human body for performance or aesthetics.

They also tackle bigger questions around accountability, consistency, injury prevention, stretching, strength training, and how to balance ambition with mental health when life gets overwhelming.

This episode is a mix of reflection, practical advice, and unfiltered conversation for anyone navigating fitness, business, or personal growth.

Intro Song

There Must Be Discipline by Akira The Don x Jocko Willink

Zach from Northern Raised returns for a deep, honest conversation about masculinity, fatherhood, identity, wellness, and the future of food in Canada.

This episode covers everything from emotional health in men to cloned meat, peptide recovery, faith, nutrition, and how to build a more grounded life as a modern man.

We also get into personal stories, family dynamics, and the balance between chaos and peace while running a business and raising a family.

Topics in this episode include

•⁠ ⁠Finding identity as a father and entrepreneur

•⁠ ⁠Masculinity, emotional health, and the pendulum between chaos and peace

•⁠ ⁠How men can support each other with honesty and vulnerability

•⁠ ⁠What women can do to support men without diminishing masculinity

•⁠ ⁠The dangers of ultra processed foods and unlabelled cloned meat

•⁠ ⁠Why Canadian consumers need to demand transparency

•⁠ ⁠Northern Raised meat sourcing standards

•⁠ ⁠The power of whole food nutrition

•⁠ ⁠Fatherhood, legacy, and breaking generational patterns

This is one of the most important and human conversations we have ever had on the podcast.

Toronto’s fitness scene is packed with trainers — but few earn the title Transformation Coach. In this episode, Norman sits down with Coach Jay, a data-driven body composition and longevity coach who’s spent over a decade changing lives through sustainable results, not quick fixes.

Coach Jay shares his journey from aspiring chiropractor to gym manager to founder of Arzadon Fitness, revealing how he built a results-based model where trainers get paid on outcomes, not hours. They discuss the evolution of Toronto’s fitness industry, why true transformation starts with clarity and accountability, and the power of tracking over 40 data points — from VO₂ max to shoulder-to-waist ratio — to help clients live longer and perform better.

You’ll hear insight on:

✅ Building a career on results, not renewals

✅ The truth about social-media “trainers”

✅ How fitness tech and AI are shaping the next decade

✅ Why empathy and tough love create lasting change

✅ The underrated metrics that predict longevity
