The Unspoken Theme — Love

In this episode, I share my personal takeaway from the recent Resiliency and Leadership Workshop featuring Nick Lavery and Rebecca Rouse. While the workshop touched on grit, growth, and emotional strength, the underlying thread I walked away with was love—love for your fellow man, and love for yourself. It’s a theme that seemed to quietly bind every message, every challenge, and every triumph shared. Love, in all its forms, stretches across fear, happiness, and even anger. Let’s talk about how this unspoken theme changed the way I see leadership, resilience, and human connection.

In this episode, we break down the key differences between training and simply working out or exercising. While both can get you moving and sweating, training involves intention, structure, and long-term goals. We’ll explore how mindset, programming, and consistency separate the two—and why understanding the difference can be a game-changer in your fitness journey. Whether you’re chasing a personal record, preparing for a competition, or just want to move with more purpose, this episode will help you rethink your approach and start training with intent.

In this episode, we take a quick dive into nutrition and its role in your training. We break down the benefits of eating whole, unprocessed foods and how they impact performance, recovery, and overall health. Whether you’re looking to build strength, improve endurance, or just feel better in and out of the gym, the right fuel makes all the difference. Tune in for a straightforward discussion on making smart food choices that support your goals. Like, Share and Follow!
