  • Expectations Vs. Reality

    David and Dylan search the fuzzy area where expectations and reality don’t mix (and do!). The conversation covers many different examples such as joining a gym, pursuing a goal, parenting, and coming back from injury - with respects to one Harry Potter tangent.

  • Be Where Your Feet Are

    Dylan and David dive into the importance of focusing on what you ARE doing instead of focusing on what you ARE NOT doing. Too often we let our thoughts drift towards all the things we are not doing, but as they discuss in today's episode, we'll see why that's not helpful and how we can train ourselves to stay focused on our current task.

  • Get Consistent with the Foundations Before You Optimize Anything

    David and Dylan emphasis the importance of hitting the foundations for health before focusing on the newest fad or shiny new idea to improve yourself. The discussion spans a wide range of areas within health and fitness, but the importance of the consistency remains the same. This "low hanging fruit" is the biggest key to moving in a positive direction.
