"Tipflation" in the United States is a growing issue, liked and disliked depending on the person and their line of work. However, there's a reason behind it all. I discuss this new "tip culture" we are in, where it stemmed from, and how I believe it's handled best. I share Instagram responses and other viewpoints from NPR and FastCompany.com in regards to the new obsession with tipping, especially on iPads and self ordering kiosks.

In this episode, Mike discusses the freeing life factor of "ditching what doesn't serve you" and how that can open up a more meaningful, peaceful existence. While the term can sound selfish, the results of this sort of life clean-up are anything but. Eliminating what doesn't serve us isn't only designated to something that is painful, arduous or irritating, but can also be something deep rooted and conditioned that still brings pleasure, but is quietly the time-sucker that leads to neglect of more fulfilling aspects of life.

In this episode, Mike reviews some of the biggest regrets stated by those on their death bed, the elderly, and the retired. We all have a different path in life made up of conditioning, trauma, beliefs, and personal choices, but it may be helpful to step outside of our current mindset and attempt to gauge if we're headed down a path of regret later in life. While living in the present moment is most essential, there are times to step away, reflect and analyze the present moment to uncover neglectful behaviors or destructive habits that may be working towards remorse in the future.

In this episode, Mike explains his 80-15-5 lifestyle theory and how it can become an effective eating structure in order to sustain a physique long-term, without rigidity, heavy restriction or fad diets involved. 80-15-5 can look different for everyone, so this episode simply provides a high-level idea of what it is and how it can be implemented initially.

In this episode, Mike is joined by personal trainer and fat loss coach, Nick Becht, for an in-depth discussion regarding the tired battle of "good foods" vs "bad foods." They'll discuss how the mere thought of a food being "bad" can trigger several different negative emotions in a person as well as develop a poor relationship with food. The guys also analyze the role that diet culture has played in creating a mental war within people between the so-called "good" and "bad" foods. Mike and Nick go on to explain how they approach their clients with unlearning this mentality and set them on a path to success through taking control of their own diet and views on food.
