Mission Planning for Weight Loss is about being prepared.   It's about thinking ahead and all contingencies that could happen. 

A weight loss goal is nice.   A weight loss mission is better.   

When we think about all the things that can trip us up and come up with strategies and skills to overcome those obstacles we become unstoppable.

With my next Men's Group starting next week and a big part of it being about nutrition, I wanted to share with you guys the most common weight loss myths I hear.  

1. Carbs make you fat
2. I have to do a crazy amount of exercise to lose weight.
3. I can outwork my diet

Every one of those statements is false.   

If you haven't cracked the code on nutrition or want to be leaner then I highly encourage you guys to check out my "Warrior Ready" program that starts next week.  It's a Men's coaching program where we meet weekly on zoom.   We cover everything from nutrition, mindset, habits, and accountability, and all in a group format.

This podcast was inspired by a short reel I saw on Instagram of Gary V talking.   In this reel, he says, "if this is the first time you have heard of me and you plan on listening to me for the next 50 years, I'm going to talk about self-awareness, happiness, and work ethic!"  I heard that, and it got me thinking.   

If I had to break my coaching down and what I'm about what would they be?   This is what I'm about:

1. Health
2. Habits
3. Happiness 

Everything I coach is about these 3 topics.   I both pursue this in my life and strive to help others do this in their lives.   

I share what I believe are the keys to happiness.   Give it a listen and let me know what you think.

This episode is a little more personal and a little more serious than you might expect.   Unfortunately and fortunately I've been closer to death than I would like.   It has taught me valuable lessons about life and making the most of it.   Unfortunately, some of the closest people to me have served as lessons.  

Three ideas I talk about in this episode:

1. Our minds play a big role in how we feel and react toward death
2. How can we use this experience as a source of motivation and love (The Gift)?
3. How can take advantage of this gift?

Please listen and let me know what you think.   

Thank you for your continued support.   The best compliment you can give me is to share this episode with someone.

There is a big difference between a goal and a decision.   When making goals, it's a "maybe I'll do it, maybe I won't"   With a DECISION it's going to happen!

In this episode, I talk about some of the things that went through my mind that helped me get through Navy SEAL training when I was 19 years old.   I also talk about 3 questions you must consider when making big decisions that could be difficult to accomplish.  

These three questions are:

1. What would be pleasurable about making this decision?
2. What would be painful about not following through on this decision?
3. Do I have the right mindset to accomplish this decision?

Listen to how I talk about how my experiences and what led me to these three questions.

This episode was inspired by a quote that I read the other day:

"If you continue this simple practice every day, you will obtain some wonderful power. Before you attain it, it is something wonderful, but after you attain it, it is nothing special." ~Shunryu Suzuki.

I read that quote and it got me thinking about a conversation I had with some friends.  (Sharran Srivatsaa and William Branum).   They were basically calling me out for not sharing interesting stories of my past.   And this isn't the first time they have called me out.   

This quote spoke to me and made me think about why that might be.  And what I thought I would share with you are the 3 truths I believe you will come across as you accomplish great things.   

1. You must be clear on what you want
2. You must do deliberate practice consistently
3. Your perspective on what was great (or challenging) will change. 

Give it a listen and let me know what you think.

In this episode, I talk about what it takes to build the Warrior Body.  The Warrior Body is a lean mean get'er done machine.   We are strong, flexible, agile, and possess great cardio and stamina.   We are not limited by our physical abilities.  

We talk about:

1. What does the warrior body look like on the outside?
2. What does it look like on the inside?
3. And finally, how do we go about constructing our warrior body?

Looking good and being in shape is just half of the equation.   The interior needs to match the exterior.   We must be equally healthy on the inside as well as the outside.
