  • Why I'm Not Goal Oriented

    Ambition Vs. Goals: Why I’m Not Goal Oriented

    In a world that often celebrates setting and achieving goals, we often gravitate towards goals rather than pursuing our ambitions and potential. While ambition propels us forward, our inclination to be overly goal-oriented stems from a desire to measure our progress, run the scorecards, and for external validation. Ambition, a dynamic force rooted in a continuous hunger for improvement, allows for adaptability and innovation in the face of evolving circumstances. Ambition is acknowledging our potential, and that the journey is as significant as the destination, and in cultivating ambition, we open ourselves to a broader spectrum of possibilities unbound by the limitations of preconceived objectives. Ambition fuels a perpetual quest for excellence, fostering a mindset that thrives on challenges and values the intrinsic motivation found in the pursuit of our utmost potential.


    In this episode, your host, Paul Lyngso, shares more about the dynamic interplay of ambition, potential, and goal setting. Drawing from his own experiences and insights, Paul sheds light on the fine line between ambition and goal orientation and how you can reconcile them for success in your fitness journey, business and pursuits in life. Tune in and get insights that you can use today to propel your personal and professional trajectories forward.

  • Style and Masculinity with Tanner Guzy

    Attaining true masculinity goes beyond just physical fitness. It involves harmonizing physical well-being with personal style through dressing. Clothing is not just functional attire but a medium for self-expression and communication. How you dress reflects your identity, values, and aspirations. By neglecting this aspect, you present an incomplete picture of yourself. Fathers and husbands should take pride in their appearance as role models, demonstrating respect and self-esteem, positively impacting their relationships and careers.

    Join the conversation with your host, Paul Lyngso, as Tanner Guzy joins us for a candid conversation on style and masculinity. Tanner is a style and image consultant who empowers men to unlock their true potential by dressing well and projecting a confident, authentic image. He believes that in today's world, where first impressions matter more than ever, men must dress strategically to stand out and succeed in their business endeavors. Tanner's approach goes beyond simply picking out the right clothes; he helps men understand the psychology of style and how to use it to their advantage. His clients learn to dress in a way that reflects their unique personalities and aligns with their career goals, achieving a powerful and authentic presence that attracts opportunities and inspires others.

    Notable Quotes 

    • When people don’t see the congruence between the person, we advertise ourselves to be and who we really are, they believe us to be dishonest, untrustworthy, and lacking genuineness.- (00:54).

    • It does not entirely mean you should not judge someone by their appearance. Our dressing sends powerful signals of who we are to the environment. - (09:54)
    • Sometimes, we have so much psychological cowardice when we hide who we really are from the people who matter the most to us and, most importantly, how we see ourselves. (23:30)
    • Fathers and husbands have a greater obligation to dress well. - (25:20)
    • The skeleton key to life is discovering yourself and presenting that to the world. Once you project yourself to the world, the right people will catch your signals. - (41:36)

  • Everything We Know About Work Ethic is Wrong

    Beyond Busyness: Everything About Work Ethics Is Wrong

    Everything about work ethics is wrong when we blindly equate it with the notion of being a hard worker. The societal perception and glorification of hard work and relentless toil as the ultimate measure of success can obscure the importance of focusing on growth and what we want to achieve. It is, therefore, essential to shift the narrative from the quantity of work to the quality of work, emphasizing efficiency, innovation, growth, results, and strategic thinking over mere exertion. True success lies not in the sheer volume of hours spent laboring but rather in the meaningful impact and tangible results we can deliver. Rethinking our approach to work ethics can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling professional life, where emphasis is placed on growth and evolution rather than a misplaced idealization of constant busyness.

    In this episode, your host, Paul Lyngso, shares more about work ethics and how you can channel your hard work toward building competency and reliability, the true cornerstones of success. Learn how to focus on what it takes to produce the results, let go of the need for validation and approval, and be present in the season.

    [05:52] How hard work can become a protective mechanism for our ego

    [08:08] The risk: What happens when you are result driven 

    [09:08] Celebrating hard work vs. growing and getting better over time.

    [10:45] Creating results and living from a place of truth, not frustrations

    [12:12] Wrap-up and end of the show

    Notable Quotes 

    • The arbitrary nature of hard work as a standard is to keep us on a treadmill that creates a massive sense of internal struggle. - (02:06)
    • When we remove the reward from achieving a task and replace it with working hard, we get so deeply focused on showing everybody how busy we are that we completely lose sight of the results. - (02:41)
    • Hard work can get you validation and approval, but the same validation can keep you in your comfort zone and from getting what you want. - (07:58)
    • Hard work is just a pre-requisite for any situation; it’s not something we should be celebrated for; it’s the price of admission. - (09:30)
    • When we celebrate hard work, we’re lowering the bar and expectation of what it means to be a man, woman, or adult in society; celebrate growth, being honest with yourself, and getting better over time. - (10:07)

    Finding Your Clarity and Taming the Busyness Beast 

    In today's fast-paced world, it's undeniably challenging to resist the allure of constant busyness. The demands of daily life often conspire to keep us in a perpetual state of urgency, leaving little room for what truly matters in the long run. It's essential to break free from the head-down mode, allowing ourselves to look beyond the immediate and cultivate the fortitude to say "No" to tasks and distractions that do not align with our long-term vision. While the urgent may provide a sense of accomplishment in the short term, it's the important goals and dreams that drive us that truly shape our future. Learning to prioritize the significant over the merely pressing is a valuable skill in achieving a fulfilling and purpose-driven life.

  • Our 3 Fitness Pillars with Tony Mastrolonardo

    Training is not just a routine but about being smart in your approach. Instead of blindly doing activities like walking, yoga, or hitting the gym, we should think of fitness intelligently by understanding that fitness falls under three main pillars: athleticism, lifting, and endurance. At Lyngso Fitness Academy, we believe that all three are important. But you do not need to go crazy in just one direction. You should blend them to reach your fitness goals in a better way. By combining these three pillars, you can train in a way that gives you the desired experiences and keeps you healthy.


    Join this conversation with Paul and Tony as we discuss these pillars, what it means to be athletic, and how you can become more athletic, even if you were not born naturally gifted in this area. We will also discuss the many advantages of lifting weights and improving cardiovascular fitness. Being stronger makes life easier and helps you endure challenges better. It is a sign of a healthy nervous system; having muscle as you age makes you more resilient. Being weak can be risky, and you might not realize its limits until you get stronger.

  • I Know What to Do, I Just Need to Do it

    The Power of Vision in Cultivating Long-term Behavior Change 

    Have you ever reached a point where you know what to do and just need to do it but are not doing it? Understanding what you need to take action and create long-term behavior change is the key to progress, and harnessing the power of vision is the catalyst for cultivating lasting behavior change. Learning to move beyond your willpower, discipline, motivation, and pain will help you get moving, but it will not keep you in the game. It's the vision of who you want to become, what you want to achieve, and what your values are that act as a magnetic force, pulling you toward your goals. When your vision is crystal clear and emotionally charged, it becomes your unwavering compass, guiding your actions day after day, transforming intentions into habits, and ultimately leading to long-lasting change and transformation.


    Join the conversation with your host, Paul Lyngso, as he discusses how to cultivate long-lasting behavior change and the transformative power of creating a clear vision that propels you toward personal growth and achievement. Paul also illuminates why traditional approaches centered around discipline, willpower, and moving away from pain may have their place but are often insufficient in cultivating long-lasting change. Tune in and get insights on how envisioning and becoming your ideal self can be the ultimate driving force for your end goal, offering you the sustainable desire needed to achieve your goals and foster profound, enduring change.

    • Willpower and discipline will always fade, and often they push us to do something that we don’t want to do; if you are in pain or in a situation that you strongly detest, you can master up the effort to do something you don’t want to do, but you can only do it if the pain of where you are is more than doing the thing you don't want to do.  - (00:36).
    • Pain can push you to do things you don't want, but having a clear vision for yourself will pull you forward. - (03:42)
    • Vision needs to be crystal clear and updated regularly: if you don't have a crystal clear vision of who you want to become, what you want out of life, and what your values are, you are not going to have a vision that pulls you forward.  - (04:10)
    • The key to achieving something huge is knowing who you need to become to achieve that goal and becoming it. (14:13)
    • Having a clear picture of the lifestyle you want, what you want to achieve, and who you want to become gives clarity into the vision of your life, creates the desire that pulls you forward, and makes the behaviors that are uncomfortable easy to stick with because the desire to bring your vision to reality outweighs the discomfort.

  • Paralysis By Analysis

    Breaking Through and Conquering Paralysis by Lack of Clarity

    Many of us have experienced the frustration of wanting to pursue a goal or make a decision, only to be thwarted by a sense of paralysis and overwhelming uncertainty. This common feeling, known as "paralysis by lack of clarity," can be a formidable obstacle on the path to achieving our ambitions.

This lack of clarity not only hinders our progress but also makes it challenging to fully commit to our aspirations.

  • The Cost That No One Considers in Defining Personal Success

    What is success? Is it simply financial stability of material possessions? What metrics do you track to consider your life successful? Or do you get frustrated by trying to live up to someone else's definition of success? Tune in to this episode to hear why defining success for yourself is the most important work you can do! Everyone has the capacity to create the limitless boundaries of their own success, not based on the traditional narrative of accumulating wealth. Nobody can tell you what success means for you. You decide it because you are the author of your life. You can create a decision-making framework or process that will set you up for success by ensuring that you define your success, the values you wish to move forward with, and whether the risk you take is acceptable to you. 


    In this episode, we discuss the internal struggles that nearly everyone experiences but only a couple talk about in the process of creating success. It is the struggle between what we want and should do. Listen and learn an easy decision-making framework that will help you and make it easy to make decisions that lead you to a life of what you actually want.
