Know this. When we talk on this podcast it's because we CARE about each and every one of our listeners! We genuinely want to see you WIN! Like our intro states, "We are on a mission to create a MVMNT of like-minded people that want to win and want to see others win."

As coaches, mentors and leaders, often times that means we have to speak the truth from a place of love, compassion and empathy. That's what today's episode is all about. I (Stephone) am speaking from the heart. I believe this message is one that you don't hear that often and it's one that is NEEDED for a lot of people.

Welcome back to The MVMNT!

Think of some things that "stress you out." Politics, unfortunate events like car trouble, relationship problems, money, home repairs.. None of which are fun things to deal with. You claim "this" or "that" stresses you out, failing to realize that those things just happen. They don't cause your stress. Your perspective on them is where the stress comes from. Literally what you tell yourself about things that happen is what decides whether they are good or bad. 

It seems like we all skate through life picking up as much stress as we can. Flat tire - bad. I'm stressed out. Gas prices sky rocket - bad. I'm stressed out. Some new law gets thrust upon us that we don't agree with - bad. I'm stressed out. 

Can you do anything RIGHT NOW to fix whatever the hell it is that you're stressed about? 

Yes? Good. Fix it and stop complaining. 

No? Good. Move on, stop filling your brain with shit that is just going to make you mad, move on, and stop complaining. 

Stop blaming other things for the stress in your life and take accountability knowing that you LET IT "stress you out!" Nothing can cause you stress unless you let it! 

Guys, we have full control over the things we CHOOSE to spend our time on. Whether that's reading about something some "idiot" did or said that pisses you off, or doing something productive with your time instead.. you have a choice. You can CHOOSE to fill your time with stuff that you KNOW is going to get under your skin, or you can let that shit go and do something that is going to make you better. 

We got fired up in this episode and are excited to bring part two to you! Until then, we hope y'all enjoy this part one episode of our CHT series and get some value out of it! 

Are you constantly doubting yourself, yet somehow feel like you're underachieving? You feel like you can do better, but at the same time have zero confidence when it comes to fitness, health, mindset, or really just anything in general..

We've all been there at some point in our lives. It's a weird place to be. We know we can do better, but at the same time feel like there's no way we can be "like that." Whatever "that" is for you... great job with a big income, nice body, big house, fancy car, whatever it is.. guys, we have to understand that belief does not just happen out of the blue. You're not just going to wake up one day with all the confidence in the world, feeling like you can take on whatever comes your way. Confidence comes from consistent ACTION! If you're just sitting there watching the world go by, wishing you could be or have this or that, you will never be or have it! You don't have to start huge.. you just have to START! Little actions every single day that are going to help you move toward your goals. That's how you build confidence. One day at a time, one action at a time. Consistency + time = success. It's that simple. 

The lack of confidence you have in yourself stems from consistently NOT taking action. You don't believe you can do a specific thing because you have been sitting there just wishing you could have it. Wishing does nothing. Wishing without action is just thinking. 

If you want to build confidence in yourself, start working towards your goals. Expect hard days. Have a plan. Continue to work towards your goals every day and be patient. 

Happy Hump Day!

This episode is short and sweet - That's for a reason!

It's been a long time since we've given y'all a solo episode with just Trev, and today is the day! 

Give this short episode and quick listen and try doing the exercise I suggest at the end! Solitude is so under-practiced. I get it, who wants to just sit in silence? Doesn't sound like a great time, but spending time in silence with just you and your thoughts is so vital to self growth. 

I genuinely hope you guys try this mental exercise after you finish the episode. Talk to yourself. Look under every rock that's in your mind and explore why you feel the way you feel and think the way you think. 

Hope y'all enjoy! Steph and I will be bringing some fire on a duo episode later this week!

Happy Monday, team!

Welcome to another episode of The MVMNT!

Who loves donuts as much as we do? (No one. The answer is no one) 

We dive right in today! We asked the question on our gym IG a few days ago, "What things fitness, mindset, and nutrition wise do you struggle with?"

We got a lot of great responses and answered a lot of them on the story (to see all of them check out our Q&A story highlight on our IG home page @vigormvmnt) but we didn't get to all of them, so we took some time on the episode to take a dive into a few questions. This was a super productive episode, and we loved answering all the questions!

Some of the struggles we covered include:

- Feeling mediocre at a lot of things, but great at nothing. 

- Eating enough to gain weight.

- Cooking my own meals at home.

Ended with another one that we'll start the next episode off with!

Guys - WE LOVE ANSWERING QUESTIONS! Don't hesitate to ask away! It not only gives us an opportunity to help, but it also gives us some great topics to discuss and cover on the podcast!

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

Happy Monday Team!

Comin' in HOT! The reigns are off with this episode!

We jump right into today! This episode is jam packed with content on dealing with people who love to hate you! Whether you've experienced it yourself, or have seen it happen to others, we all know there are people out there who just love to see other people fail for no good reason. It's confusing to us to know that there are real people out there who legitimately want to see us fail. Are we vocal about what we do? Hell yes! Do we apologize for it? Hell no!

Here's the thing, when you couple 100% belief in what you do with passion, you get people who not only talk the talk, but walk the walk. What really irritates people is not just the talking or just the executing - it's the combination of both. When you are vocal about the dreams you have and you follow it up with action, for SOME reason (we haven't figured it out yet) people hate it. They like to hear the goals you have. They might even act supportive. Then, when they see you consistently taking action and living out the goals you set for yourself, something changes in them. Something about you executing on your goals makes them resent you. 

Let's make this 100% clear - if seeing other people chasing dreams bothers you... if hearing them talk about the big goals they have and the progress they're making irritates you.. if seeing them make progress and hearing them talk about their execution gets under your skin and you secretly wish they fail - YOUR SHIT IS BROKEN!! You have deeper issues inside of yourself that you need to focus on. The fact is that you are afraid they are going to pass you up and live a higher quality life than you do. You hate the fact that someone else is doing something bigger than you are. You want them to fail because you know you aren't fulfilling the dreams you have. Or maybe you don't have any dreams in the first place. Maybe you live the same life every day. Wake up, go to work, punch the clock, do whatever else you do every single day just to waste time, then repeat the next day. How about try coming up with some dreams of your own? How about focusing on making your own life better instead of filling your time with stalking others on social media just to look for them to fail or get annoyed by their posts? 

PSA - We aren't going anywhere! We're just getting started. So, if you're watching just to see if we fail, clear your schedule for the next 50 years because you'll be watching and waiting for the rest of your life.

Or you can find something more productive to do with your time. Find a goal to chase. Focus on becoming a better human being. Show some support for your fellow Americans who are doing exactly what this country was created for. 

Fix your f*cked up mindset. Ask yourself - If someone else fails, how does that improve my life at all? 

More importantly, if you get gratification out of others failing, you have some legitimate issues you need to root out because you're on track to be miserable for the rest of your life. Get the hate out of your heart. It's not doing you any good.

Hope y'all get some value out of this episode! We get pretty fired up, but believe it or not, it is coming from a good place and we want to help others who may be experiencing the same thing. Love you guys and we'll catch ya next time!
