The beautiful part bout life is that each and every day we wake up, we have so many opportunities to move towards the goals we have and the life we want to live. However, on the flip side, we also never know when our "time" is up.

Happy HUMP DAY!

Hope y'all are doing well and crushing your week! We're back with another longer duo podcast! We kick things off with some football talk, which we haven't done in a while, transition over to recent comments on the recession, by definition, that the US is going through, and end the episode with talking about how to attack life changes. 

We've all gone through some sort of change in our lives. Change has a bad reputation of being big, bad, and scary. Initially, change can be hard. A lot of times it is. It's easy to focus on uncertainty and negatives that come along with change. But what if you flip your perspective? What if, instead of thinking about all the things that could go wrong, you focus on all the things that could go RIGHT? Sure, there could be a big, scary monster waiting to rip your head off. There could also be a bad ass, life changing opportunity that catapults you to the next level! There could be a person waiting for you that never even knew you needed until you met them. All of your wildest dreams could be right around that next corner if you just keep going and have the guts to see what's waiting for you. Or, you could stay where you're at because it's comfortable and "safe." You could pass it up and just keep living the same mediocre life you've been living. Just keep in mind that one day you will wish you would have taken a chance. You will wish that you walked up to that corner to see what was waiting for you on the other side. 

Would you rather try, give it your all, and know for sure? Or would you rather play it safe, and look back in 20 years wondering "what if?"

Change is exactly what you tell yourself it is. You can cower to it in fear, or you can face it head on and make the absolute best of it!

Hope y'all enjoy the episode! Catch ya next time!

I'm gonna be 100% honest with y'all, the first half hour of this episode is just updates on the gym, our mentorship groups, and life in general. There is definitely some good content in the convo, but the meat and potatoes of the topic starts around the 35ish minute mark. 

The main topic of the episode is about the importance of commitment. Having a plan is great. It can help you be prepared for certain things, but if your not committed then a plan is worthless. Give me a person that has no plan and is only 60% committed, but has a plan and I can only help so much before your commitment runs out. Give me someone who is 100% committed and has no plan, I can work with that because I know that you will figure it out no matter what. The bottom line is that you will only go as far as your commitment level will take you. 

Hope y'all enjoy the episode! Catch ya next time!

Yall, I (Stephone) got off of a live call in my private Facebook group where I do all my virtual coaching and MAAAAN, was I fired up!!!

Second episode released this week! We got fired UP in this episode, so brace yourself!

In this episode, we talk about the confusing and terrible "leadership" this country currently has, evolving your thought process, and how people say what they want but act a completely different way. We also have a surprise visit by the one and only Gary.. Trever's dad! You won't hear his voice, but just know that you're in for some laughs! 

Enjoy the episode!

What does freedom mean to you? Not in the traditional sense, but more in the personal sense. How are you living FREE? When it comes to your thoughts, words and actions. The decisions you make with your life, are driven by this concept of freedom or fear?

We're BAAAAACK!!

It's been a couple weeks since we put out a duo episode, but it's been for a good reason! Things have been hectic (in a mostly great way) so we haven't had the time to get one out, but we're back and brought the energy for this episode!

If you want to skip to the meat and potatoes of the Country Club Mindset, skip ahead to 35:07 and give your full attention for the rest of the episode!

How much time do you give away to people who are not helping you elevate? You know where you want to be. You know the direction you want to go, but you give people in your life a pass because you love them. We understand. We've been there. But guys, if you want to elevate, you HAVE GOT to be ok with limiting the time you give to those who are not helping you progress!

"You're fine the way you are. I don't know why you take this fitness / business thing so seriously. You work too hard. You need to relax and enjoy yourself."

These are common things you will hear from these people. It's not that they don't want you to do well, it's that they feel guilty about not leveling up, and the thought of you - someone they love and care about - passing them up makes them feel bad about themselves because they are not willing to put in the same work. 

Understand that, while they are your close family or friends, that does NOT mean that they get a free pass. It's very simple - are the people you surround yourself with helping you level up or keeping you where you're at? It's a hard reality to face, but it is imperative that you answer this question honestly and take action!  

Country Club Mindset: To be apart of a Country Club (AKA - Your life) there are fees and high standards. If you can't live up to those standards, move along and see yourself out. This is the mindset we MUST take with our lives if we want to elevate. The people who are not willing to pay the price and live up to those standards will weed themselves out. 

Hope y'all enjoy the episode and take some nuggest away from it! Catch ya next time!

Have you ever heard the expression "Can't Stop. Wont Stop"? It's a common expression that people say when things like a workout for example, are getting challenging. They want to stop but they wont stop.

Then my exhausted mind began to think. Actually we can stop. Literally if we wanted to right now, we can stop and be done. But we are choosing not to stop. We are choosing not to give in and instead we are pushing through!

Thanks for the support!

Comin' in HOT with another episode! 

This one is something we've all done, or at least felt the need to do at some point. And that's defending our goals. Justifying why we're chasing something. We choose a healthier entree at dinner.. we tell our friends we aren't going out tonight.. we focus on getting some work done instead of going to a social event.. And what happens? Push back. "Come on man. It's just one night." or "You work too much." Or "You need to loosen up and come have a good time."

Here's the thing guys - If people won't support you doing something to better yourself, then they don't really want the best for you. If you have people telling you any of these things, the real matter is that they feel guilty for not doing better for themselves. It may not necessarily be that they want you to be worse, it's more so that they just don't want to be better themselves. They can't stand the thought of getting passed up. When someone pressures you to do something unhealthy or tries to talk you out of chasing a dream, the truth of the matter is that they know they aren't going to put in the same work, so they want to bring you down with them. Crabs in a bucket. They don't want you to level up because then they would feel like they have to level up. They aren't willing to do the work you're willing to do, so instead of doing better themselves, they try to keep you down on their level. 

People like this are dangerous because they come off as caring. They say things to make you second guess yourself ONLY because they don't want to feel less than. And that's what we HAVE to understand. If you're getting push back - GOOD! It means you're doing something right and people know your potential! They're ok with being mediocre. But YOU AREN'T! Stand your ground. Stop defending yourself. Why do we feel like we need to explain ourselves when we're simply just trying to be better? 

You don't owe any explanations to anyone. That doesn't mean we're telling you to be an asshole. You can still respond, but there is no need to go into detail and try to defend yourself. If they don't get it, they don't get it. That's ok. Do your thing and expect support from NO ONE. The quicker you understand that, the quicker you'll be able to accomplish whatever it is you've set out to accomplish. 

Hope y'all get some value out of the episode! Catch ya next time!

Continuing our convo from episode 77. If you haven't listened to that episode yet, go back and give it a listen.
