Episode 019 of IBI is inspired by a guy who every single time we get together helps me open my heart and my mind to the truth of what love is really all about, the one and only James from the STR8.Love podcast.
This episode of IBI is for you if…
MMU #1 - You’re not living a life true to yourself because you’re afraid of letting other people down (6:25)
MMU #2 - You know you could be so much better than you are right now and want to know how to get yourself out of your rut (16:50)
MMU #3 - You want to know how to manage (not eliminate) self-sabotage so that you don’t keep making the same mistakes over and over again (29:03)
MMU #4 - You have been lacking motivation and you need something to kick your ass into gear again, this truth bomb will do it! (46:05)
I once read that, ‘How you love yourself is how you teach others to love you.'
As you’ll hear from ma man James, ‘I thought it was total dog shit, "Love yourself". What does that even mean? And then I discovered what it was. I guess I realized I'm so low that there must be an opposite to this and the opposite has to be loving myself.'
So if you want to discover what loving yourself actually looks like in the real world and how you can practice it, here is what I'm inviting you to do after you listen to this episode...
Step #1 - Connect with ma boy James who you can find on IG @str8.love and on his amazing STR8.Love podcast as well as his blog theheartmovement.com.
Step #2 - Hit me up on IG @ignitetheimpact and let's work together to Ignite the Impact you wish to see in your world.
Until next time my friend...

Episode 018 of IBI is inspired by my longest-standing friend and absolute soul mate Mr. DP Derrick Paulson from the STR8.Love podcast and you’re going to find out very shortly why I consider DP to be one of the most influential people in my life and one of the main sources of inspiration behind my very life’s purpose.
This episode of IBI is for you if…
MMU #1 - You want to know how to connect with the people you love on a deeper level and cultivate truly extraordinary relationships (7:22)
MMU #2 - You are looking for the best birthday, anniversary, or life celebration experience you will probably ever give to someone you care about (16:30)
MMU #3 - You know that your limiting belief of “I am not enough” is holding you back and want to know what you do to start letting it go (23:44)
MMU #4 - You’re a bitch-aholic and you want to know the single best way to stop bitching about the people and problems you have in your life (1:18:25)
I once read that, ‘Healing begins when you shed the victim mentality.’
As you’ll hear from ma man DP, ‘It’s on you. Everybody kinda wants to pretend like it’s some kind of an outside force or if things were different and this and that and it’s all just a bunch of excuses. It’s you! It’s fucking you! But that’s also a good thing. Don’t look at it as a bad thing and don’t be a fuckin’ victim. Just be like, ‘Ok…I got this!’
So if you want to drop the victim mentality and discover how to make happiness a habit, here are two small, specific, and simple steps I am challenging you to do right now:
Step #1 - Connect with my man DP who you can find on IG @str8.love and on his amazing STR8.Love podcast.
Step #2 - Hit me up on IG @ignitetheimpact and let's work together to Ignite the Impact you wish to see in your world.

Episode 017 of IBI is inspired by my man DJ over at White Lion Athletics who has become not just one of the best coaches I have ever had but a dear friend and kindred spirit on this amazing journey we call life.
This episode of IBI is for you if…
MMU #1 - You’re like me and you secretly feel like you need to impress other people and want to know how this ego-based approach can actually be a good thing (20:51)
MMU #2 - You want to know how to make life’s most stressful situations less stressful and become the master of your emotions (26:28)
MMU #3 - You want to know a cold, hard secret DJ and I share and practice to overcome fear and procrastination (34:31)
MMU #4 - You want to know what might just be the simplest and yet most powerful mindset strategy to start making the changes you want to make in your life (48:55)
Mark Twain once said, ‘Actions speak louder than words but not nearly as often.’
As you’ll hear from ma man DJ, ‘You are what you just did.’
So if you want to make sure your actions are matching the person you say you want to be, here are two small, specific, and simple steps I am challenging you to do right now:
Step #1 - Connect with my man DJ who you can find on IG @white_lion_athletics or visit his site @ whitelionathletics.com.

Episode 016 of IBI is inspired by my man Ashton Levarek over at The Art of Winning podcast, and this one could have gone on for HOURS because Ashton is an incredible resource for, as his podcast suggests, turning winning into an art so that we can all make a masterpiece out of our lives.
This episode of IBI is for you if…
MMU #1 - You feel like you’ve settled for a job and a life that is so much less than you know it could be (4:49)
MMU #2 - You have no idea what truly makes you happy and you want to know what true happiness is for you (10:49)
MMU #3 - You’re letting the fear of failure keep you from taking the actions you know you need to take (22:28)
MMU #4 - You’re trapped in the victim mentality and you want to know how to stop feeling sorry for yourself and start moving forward (42:18)
Tim Ferriss once said, ‘Tomorrow is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you.’
As you’ll hear from Ashton, ‘When you are inspired by your dreams, it’s not hard to live an epic life.’
So unless you want to go to take your dreams to the grave with you, here is what I am challenging you to do right now:

Episode 014 of IBI is the very first episode where I host a guest and I am super pumped to host Sari D. from the Naked In Truth Podcast for this one.
This one is for you if…
1 - The fear of failure is keeping you from taking that first step towards the change you know you want and need to make (@15:26)
2 - You're not seeing the changes you want on the outside because you aren’t sure how to make the changes you need to make on the inside (@20:10)
3 - Consistency (or a lack thereof) is killing your ability to stick with the habits and routines you know you need to stick to in order to achieve the results you’re looking for (@27:44)
4 - You’ve been spinning your tires for months or even years and you have no idea what to do differently to make getting results easier and faster (@35:14)
A HUGE shout-out to my girl Sari D. for all the amazing tips and strategies she gave us today.

Episode 013 of IBI is the second installment of Inside IBI and will give you a behind-the-scenes look at the simple yet powerful 4-step process I am using in my 90-Day Before vs After Challenge.
We're going to be taking much of the guesswork and frustration out of transforming your body by addressing what I have witnessed to be the four main problems people face and why you stay stuck when it comes to your Physical Health and Fitness.
This one is for you if…
Probelm #1 - You don’t know exactly where you’re going, which is why you typically go nowhere. (@3:10)
Probelm #2 - You don’t have proven, tested, and customized go-to strategies that will lead you to where you want to go. (@12:25)
Probelm #3 - You have more reasons and excuses for why you can’t achieve your goals than you do reasons as to why you can and must. (@19:16)
Probelm #4 - You’re unaware of the FACTS as they relate to your behavior when it comes to both fitness and especially nutrition. (@28:23)
