The Max Effort Podcast

On today’s episode of the podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with my friend Alex Christian, who is one of the most genuine, hard working guys I’ve ever met. 

In this episode we talk about his journey into his now full time acting and modeling career, the ups and downs that came along with it, and what's to come. A really encouraging episode that reinforces the idea that devotion to yourself and what you want is absolutely possible, despite whatever setback or voice you have coming against you. 

Be sure to follow him to keep up with what he has going on! The dude is a literal renaissance man!

Really fun conversation! 

Be sure to follow him as well as pick up his book

Uncertainty without hope always assumes the worst. 

In today’s episode, I set out to remind and encourage you that even in challenging seasons there’s an opportunity to establish a hopeful and persevering mindset. One that consistently builds upon itself and creates powerful momentum into better outcomes. 

Had the absolute pleasure of chatting with my dude Joseph James on this latest episode of the podcast. 

Joseph is a Powerlifter, Coach, and founder of Counteract Training Systems, as well as the drummer for Knowsuffer.

In this episode, we talk about how consistency and growth in the gym has impacted many other areas in our own lives and the lives of our clients. We also talk about our own personal growth as coaches, where we made mistakes early on, and how we learned from them.

Had a great time chatting with Eliza Grace on this brand new episode of the podcast. 

This was a really cool opportunity to learn about the ins and outs of her journey into becoming a full time Musician, Entrepreneur, Youtuber, and all around creative powerhouse! 

The conversation itself was very relatable, vulnerable, and offered up some powerful insight, that I’m stoked to share with everyone. 

 And in the true fashion of this podcast, the scope of the discussion goes far beyond what is even listed in the title, as we discussed so many more good topics.

Really enjoyed this episode and I know you will too!

Podcasting in it’s true form is skype crashing 4 times in the span of an hour and having to piece together the conversation to make an episode. Luckily, I didn’t have to face the hilarity on my own! 

That being said- on today’s episode, I had the pleasure of talking to Jake Moix, Co-Host of the Dummy Thicc Gamer Show and Blog writer. 

This was a very deep and vulnerable conversation about the ins and outs of coming to terms with the dream(s) you have for your life, going through challenging seasons, dealing with loss, and more! Really stoked on it and as always, I hope you enjoy! 

P.s. Jake was the one who saved the episode by recording it on his end and editing it together like a champ! 

Had a really great discussion with Sean Mott on this episode of the podcast. Sean is a full time booking agent, freelance graphic designer, and host of the Metalcore Nerds Podcast. In this episode, we dove into a wide array of topics surrounding the(metalcore/hardcore)music industry, primarily in the scope of the business side of things, as well as strategies for growing and succeeding in your band. On top of that, we also touched on small tidbits like eating and training on the road, strategies for combating the post tour mental battles, movies, comics, breaking down the character of Batman, and more! 

Like I said, great discussion! A lot great wisdom is shared in this episode and I encourage anyone who is looking to be successful in their musical project to give it a listen. Hope you enjoy! 

Having a grand vision and laser focus for your future is a wonderful thing, so long as your present self doesn’t suffer as a result. 

In today’s episode I discuss the importance of strengthening your current state, even if it’s not where want to be, but  by doing so, it becomes a true investment for today, tomorrow, and the years to come! As always, I hope this encourages you! Thanks for listening. ✊🏻

Today’s episode is short, but it’s just a straight up hype message for those of you looking to move forward into the areas you feel called to. I believe that if you have a greater vision for the present and your future, you owe it to yourself to chase that vision and bring it to life. These things don’t just appear out of meaninglessness, they are gifted in you because you have the capability. 

And you are more than deserving of it.
