UnMotivated

Sometimes growth starts with simply admitting that you don't have everything figured out. In this episode of The Unmotivated Podcast, Trev sits down with special guest Adrian, a longtime supporter and part of the FitBully family, to talk about growth, clarity, purpose, and figuring out what comes next.

Adrian's journey has taken him from being a longtime supporter of FitBully to becoming a dog owner within the family and now preparing to bring another dog into his life. As he explores the possibility of eventually getting into breeding himself, he's also navigating something much bigger: figuring out who he wants to become and what direction he wants his life to take.

Trev and Adrian talk about why seeking growth and clarity is so important in today's world. With social media constantly showing us what everyone else is doing, it's easy to compare, feel behind, or convince yourself that you should already have everything figured out. But growth doesn't always come with a clear roadmap.

Sometimes clarity comes from asking better questions, surrounding yourself with the right people, gaining experience, and being willing to take the next step even when you don't know exactly where the journey will lead.

They talk about:

✅ Adrian's journey from longtime supporter to FitBully family member
✅ What it's like becoming part of a community you once supported from the outside
✅ His experience purchasing his first dog from FitBully
✅ Preparing to bring another dog into his life
✅ Exploring the possibility of becoming a breeder
✅ The importance of personal growth
✅ Why clarity matters when making major life decisions
✅ How to find direction when you don't know what's next
✅ Learning from people with experience
✅ Seeking guidance instead of trying to figure everything out alone
✅ The importance of asking questions
✅ How your environment can influence your growth
✅ Avoiding comparison in the age of social media
✅ Understanding that everyone's journey moves at a different pace
✅ Becoming intentional about the person you're trying to become
✅ Taking action while you're still figuring things out

You don't need to know exactly where you're going to start moving. Sometimes the clarity you're looking for comes after you take the first step.

What does success actually mean? Money? Career? Family? Freedom? Time? Peace? Achievement? Or something completely different? In this episode of The Unmotivated Podcast, Trev and Stan take a step back from the traditional idea of success and talk about what it really means to define success for yourself.

It's easy to spend your life chasing someone else's version of success. Social media, family, friends, culture, business, and society can all create expectations about what your life is supposed to look like. But reaching someone else's destination doesn't necessarily mean you've built the life you actually wanted.

Trev and Stan talk about the importance of understanding what success means personally, then navigating the journey without constantly comparing your progress to everyone else's. Your goals can change. Your priorities can change. Your definition of success can change. The important part is being intentional about the direction you're moving.

This conversation is about personal success, purpose, growth, expectations, comparison, and creating your own path. Because success isn't just about where you end up—it's also about understanding why you're going there in the first place.

They talk about:

✅ What success really means
✅ How to define success for yourself
✅ Why everyone's definition of success is different
✅ The danger of chasing someone else's goals
✅ Comparing your journey to other people's journeys
✅ Social media and unrealistic expectations of success
✅ Money, freedom, family, purpose and personal fulfillment
✅ How your definition of success can change over time
✅ Navigating uncertainty while pursuing your goals
✅ Staying focused on your own journey
✅ Understanding what you actually want from life
✅ Building a life that aligns with your values
✅ Knowing whether you're making progress
✅ Success versus achievement
✅ Why the journey matters just as much as the destination

Success isn't about living the life someone else told you to want. It's about figuring out what matters to you—and having the courage to pursue it.

Growth doesn't happen by accident. Sometimes the biggest step you can take is admitting you don't have all the answers and being willing to seek guidance from people who have already walked the road you're beginning to travel.

In this episode of The Unmotivated Podcast, Trev and Stan sit down with special guest Tyler, a longtime supporter who is now beginning his own journey into dog breeding, business, and personal growth. Tyler's story is a reminder that being a supporter from the outside can eventually turn into stepping into the arena yourself.

The conversation goes beyond breeding. They talk about the importance of seeking growth, finding mentors, asking questions, listening to people with experience, and surrounding yourself with people who challenge you to become better. In a world where everyone has an opinion and information is everywhere, knowing who to learn from can matter just as much as the willingness to learn.

Tyler is at the beginning of his journey, and that's exactly what makes the conversation relatable. You don't need to have everything figured out before you start. You need the humility to learn, the discipline to keep going, and the willingness to seek guidance when you don't know what comes next.

They talk about:

✅ Tyler's journey from longtime supporter to getting started himself
✅ Getting started in dog breeding
✅ Why personal growth requires intentional effort
✅ The importance of seeking guidance
✅ Learning from people with more experience
✅ Why asking questions is a strength, not a weakness
✅ Finding mentors and people who can help you grow
✅ Surrounding yourself with people who challenge you
✅ Learning from mistakes instead of repeating them
✅ The difference between information and real experience
✅ Starting before you have everything figured out
✅ Staying humble while building something of your own
✅ Personal growth through mentorship and accountability
✅ Why your environment can influence your growth
✅ Taking the next step in your journey

You don't have to know everything. You just have to be willing to learn from someone who does.

Where you start in life isn't necessarily where you're going — but sometimes the people around you can make you question where you're headed. In this solo episode of The Unmotivated Podcast, Trev talks about goals, aspirations, and the difficult journey between the person you are today and the person you're trying to become.

Trev breaks down why we sometimes get discouraged by our own goals. The bigger the dream, the easier it can be to look at how far away you are and start questioning whether you're capable of getting there. And sometimes, talking about those goals with the wrong people can make that doubt even louder.

Not every goal needs to be announced. Not every dream needs an audience. Sometimes telling people what you're trying to accomplish creates unnecessary opinions, expectations, criticism, comparison, or pressure before you've had the chance to build anything. There are moments when protecting your vision means keeping it close, putting your head down, and letting the work speak for itself.

This episode is about where you are, where you're going, and staying committed when the distance between the two feels overwhelming. You don't have to convince everyone else that your vision is possible. You have to keep moving toward it.

They talk about:

✅ Where you start versus where you're going
✅ Why big goals can become discouraging
✅ The danger of comparing your current life to your future vision
✅ Why you don't have to tell everyone your plans
✅ How other people's opinions can affect your confidence
✅ Protecting your goals from unnecessary negativity
✅ Moving in silence and letting results speak
✅ Staying focused when progress feels slow
✅ Dealing with doubt when chasing big aspirations
✅ Why your vision doesn't need everyone else's approval
✅ The difference between talking about your goals and actually pursuing them
✅ Staying committed to the person you're becoming

Sometimes the goal isn't to get everyone to believe in your vision. Sometimes it's to keep believing long enough to build it.

You never know who you're going to meet—or where one genuine conversation can lead.

In this episode of The Unmotivated Podcast, Trev sits down with special guest Brian Berkanov, who was invited to the conversation by PJ, to talk about the power of meeting new people, building lasting relationships, and creating meaningful connections through your network.

Trev and Brian explore why getting outside your normal circle can open your world to new ideas, perspectives, friendships, partnerships, mentors, and opportunities. But meeting people is only the beginning. The real value comes from taking the time to build relationships based on trust, mutual respect, consistency, and genuine interest in one another.

They also discuss the power of connecting people within your own network. Sometimes you don't have to be the person with every answer—you can create value simply by knowing the right people and bringing them together. A strong network isn't just about what you can get from other people. It's about who you can help, who you can introduce, and what you can build together.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, business owner, young professional, or simply someone looking to expand your world, this conversation is a reminder that relationships can become some of the most valuable assets you build over a lifetime.

They talk about:

✅ Why meeting new people matters
✅ How to build genuine relationships
✅ Turning conversations into lasting connections
✅ The difference between networking and connecting
✅ How relationships create unexpected opportunities
✅ Building a strong personal and professional network
✅ The importance of getting outside your comfort zone
✅ Connecting people within your network
✅ Creating value for the people you meet
✅ Why relationships should not always be transactional
✅ How entrepreneurs can expand their network
✅ Maintaining relationships over the long term
✅ The power of introductions and referrals
✅ Why one conversation can change your direction

You don't know what opportunity is waiting on the other side of a conversation. Sometimes the first step toward a bigger future is simply being willing to meet someone new.

You've probably heard the saying “your network is your net worth.” But what does that actually mean?

In this episode of The Unmotivated Podcast, Trev sits down with special guest Jasper to talk about the real power of networking, relationship building, and meaningful connections. They explore why the strongest networks aren't built by collecting business cards, followers, or contacts—they're built through trust, consistency, generosity, and genuinely getting to know people.

Trev and Jasper discuss how relationships can create opportunities that you could never create alone. But the conversation goes one step further: what happens when you start connecting your network with each other? Introducing two people who can help one another, making the right connection at the right time, and becoming a bridge between people can create value far beyond what you can accomplish individually.

They also talk about the importance of playing the long game. Real relationships aren't built overnight, and the best connections aren't always immediately transactional. Sometimes the person you meet today becomes a friend, business partner, mentor, client, or the person who introduces you to your next opportunity years down the road.

They talk about:

✅ Why your network matters in business and life
✅ How to build relationships that actually last
✅ Networking without being transactional
✅ The difference between contacts and genuine relationships
✅ How to build trust with your network
✅ Connecting people and creating opportunities
✅ Why giving value strengthens relationships
✅ The long-term power of networking
✅ How relationships can create unexpected opportunities
✅ Building a network as an entrepreneur
✅ Why consistency matters in relationships
✅ Becoming a connector in your community
✅ How to maintain relationships over time
✅ The real meaning behind “your network is your net worth”

The goal isn't to know everyone. It's to build relationships strong enough that when opportunity comes, you know who to call—and they know they can call you.

Are you making financial decisions for where you are today—or for where you want to be 20, 30, or 40 years from now?

In this episode of The Unmotivated Podcast, Trev sits down with special guest Orelle to discuss the power of wealth management, life insurance, and long-term financial planning. They explore how understanding your finances today can help you make more informed decisions about protecting your family, preparing for the unexpected, and building lasting financial security.

The conversation breaks down why wealth management is about more than simply making money. It's about understanding what you have, knowing what you're working toward, and creating a strategy that supports your goals over time. Trev and Orelle also discuss the role life insurance can play in a broader financial plan, including protecting loved ones, providing financial support after a loss, and considering how different policies fit into long-term goals.

Whether you're just beginning your financial journey, raising a family, building a business, or thinking about what you'll leave behind, this episode encourages you to look beyond the immediate future and start thinking strategically about your money.

They talk about:

✅ What wealth management really means
✅ Why long-term financial planning matters
✅ Understanding the purpose of life insurance
✅ How life insurance can help protect your family financially
✅ The differences between life insurance policy types
✅ How to make more informed financial decisions
✅ Building and preserving wealth over time
✅ Financial planning for families and business owners
✅ Preparing for unexpected life events
✅ Understanding risk and financial protection
✅ Planning for retirement and long-term goals
✅ The role of financial literacy in building wealth
✅ Creating a financial legacy for future generations

Building wealth isn't just about what you earn. It's about understanding what you have, protecting what matters, and making decisions today with your future in mind.

How well do you really know yourself—and how well do the people closest to you actually know you?

In this episode of The Unmotivated Podcast, Trev and Scott Hunt explore one of the most underutilized things a person can do: make the effort to truly know themselves and genuinely understand other people.

It's easy to know the basics about someone. It's much harder to understand what drives them, what they value, what they've experienced, what they're working through, and who they're trying to become. Trev and Scott discuss why so many relationships stay on the surface and how asking better questions, listening with intention, and being willing to share more of yourself can create deeper connections.

The conversation also turns inward. Getting to know yourself means looking beyond the roles you play and the expectations other people have of you. It means understanding your values, recognizing your patterns, being honest about your strengths and weaknesses, and learning what truly matters to you.

Whether you're trying to strengthen a friendship, improve a relationship, become a better leader, or understand yourself on a deeper level, the process starts with curiosity—and the willingness to go beyond the surface.

They talk about:

✅ How to truly get to know yourself
✅ Understanding your values, motivations, and identity
✅ Why people often struggle to show their authentic selves
✅ How to get to know someone on a deeper level
✅ Asking better questions and listening with intention
✅ The difference between knowing someone and understanding them
✅ Why vulnerability can create stronger connections
✅ How self-awareness improves relationships
✅ Moving beyond surface-level conversations
✅ Understanding what drives the people around you
✅ How to make others feel seen and understood
✅ The connection between self-discovery and personal growth

Don't just learn about people. Get curious about who they really are—and give them the chance to discover who you are, too.

What if one of the most powerful things you could do to improve your life was also one of the most overlooked?

In this episode of The Unmotivated Podcast, Trev and Scott Hunt explore the power of caring—why it may be one of the most underutilized qualities in how we approach life, relationships, business, and the people around us.

Care is easy to talk about, but it means very little if it never shows up in our actions. Trev and Scott discuss what it looks like to genuinely care about someone, pay attention to the details, listen when it matters, follow through on commitments, and make people feel seen and valued. They explore how small acts of care can strengthen relationships, build trust, and change the way we show up for others.

The conversation also looks at what happens when we stop caring—or when we assume that people already know we care without making the effort to show it. Whether it's being a better friend, partner, parent, business owner, or human being, care can influence the quality of nearly every relationship we build.

They talk about:

✅ Why caring is an underrated quality
✅ What it actually means to care about someone
✅ Showing care through actions, not just words
✅ How care builds trust and stronger relationships
✅ The importance of paying attention to others
✅ Why small gestures can make a lasting impact
✅ Caring in friendships, family, and relationships
✅ How care makes you a better leader
✅ The difference between saying you care and showing it
✅ What happens when people feel overlooked
✅ Becoming more thoughtful and considerate
✅ How caring more can improve your life

People may forget what you said, but they remember how you made them feel. Caring is how you turn good intentions into something people can actually experience.

What does it really mean to become a better person?

In this episode of The Unmotivated Podcast, Trev sits down with Stan to talk about the ongoing work of becoming better—not just in one area of life, but across the board. From personal growth and parenting to business, relationships, leadership, and the way we treat others, they explore what it takes to become the person you know you’re capable of being.

Trev and Stan discuss why self-improvement requires more than good intentions. It takes honest self-reflection, accountability, consistency, and a willingness to recognize where you need to change. Whether you're trying to become a better parent, a more effective business owner, or simply a better human being, growth starts with taking responsibility for the things you can control.

They also explore how the different parts of life connect. The habits and standards you bring into your business can affect how you show up at home. The way you lead others can reflect the work you've done on yourself. And the effort you put into becoming better today can shape the person you become tomorrow.

They talk about:

✅ What it means to become a better person
✅ How to improve yourself in everyday life
✅ Becoming a more present and intentional parent
✅ Personal growth and self-accountability
✅ Becoming a better business owner and leader
✅ Building discipline and consistency
✅ Recognizing your weaknesses and working on them
✅ How your habits shape the person you become
✅ Balancing business, family, and personal growth
✅ Leading by example at home and at work
✅ Taking responsibility for your choices
✅ Why becoming better is a lifelong process

You don't have to change everything overnight. You just have to be honest about where you are, take responsibility for where you fall short, and keep doing the work to become better.
