EP73 Habit Of Meditation
June 05, 2019 08:30 - 24 minutes - 34.1 MBMeditation is defined as the practice of thinking deeply or focusing one’s mind for an extended period of time. Though I don’t fully agree with this definition, the benefits I’ve experienced from meditation have been immense. These include but are not limited to decreased stress, a change in state, present and personal awareness, reduced anxiety, and so much more. If you’re interested in getting started with meditation, this episode is a must listen. I explain some of my favorite techniq...

Once you’ve started, learn how to transition from simply “doing” mediation to “being”. Learn how to block out distractions from your phone and become more present on a daily basis. Learn the difference between peak experiences and formative practices, the latter of which you need in order to actually achieve something. We also talk about how meditat...
EP71 Habit Of Insecurity
May 31, 2019 08:30 - 19 minutes - 27.1 MBInsecurity is a subject that’s rarely talked about. People ultimately don’t like to open up because it makes them feel vulnerable and unsure of themselves. The unfortunate thing about a habit of insecurity is the negative aspects of it tend to snowball over time. So how do we take control of insecurity and grow from it? We have to overcome the stories we’re creating in our own minds that are fostering the insecurity. Many times, the stories aren’t even remotely true. Listen to find out...
EP70 Marriagehood
May 29, 2019 08:30 - 32 minutes - 45.1 MBOnce again I’m joined in studio by my lovely wife Katie to discuss our new event, Marriagehood. As I’ve detailed on the podcast before, I’ve grown exponentially through my brotherhood. Katie has experienced the same in her sisterhood. The problem became that we had grown so much individually it became chaotic when it came to the relationship between the two of us. We were colliding non-stop. Today we talk about how we overcame this and how Marriagehood can help you do the same in your r...
EP69 Habit Of Quality Time
May 27, 2019 08:30 - 16 minutes - 22.2 MBAs parents it’s easy to feel guilt and shame over not spending enough time with your kids. It’s OK. I’ve been there myself, but don’t fret. The truth is that it’s about the quality time we spend with our kids, not the quantity. If you’re present and attentive in the moment, that’s all that really matters. Listened to see how my wife having an extra margarita or two taught me an impactful lesson about how we need to show up for our kids. Are you looking to connect with a group of l...
EP68 Habit Of Identity
May 24, 2019 08:30 - 19 minutes - 27 MBOur identity is a mixture of what others belief us to be and what we believe ourselves to be. This leads many of us to be trapped in an identity that doesn’t represent who we really are. I’ve been there before myself. From steroid user to being known as the personal trainer, I’ve had to shed multiple identities in my life. These identities were keeping me from being who I wanted to be. Listen to hear how I evolved by ditching the identity’s that weren’t serving me and how you can do the...

EP66 Habit Of Date Weekends
May 20, 2019 08:30 - 16 minutes - 23.6 MBWhen’s the last time you made a concerted effort to date your significant other? It’s easy to get caught up in the game up life and lose track of the real quality time you’ve spent with your partner. While my wife and I always focus on keeping our relationship close, there’s nothing like getting away from the kids and having some true alone time to reconnect at a deeper level. Today we dig in deeper as to why taking a vacation alone with your spouse is not only great for your marriage, bu...
EP65 Habit Of Co-Creation
May 17, 2019 08:30 - 37 minutes - 52.7 MBYou can’t co-create from a place of survival. A marriage isn’t about two separate people doing their own things. It’s about two people working together, supporting each other, and co-creating inside of the relationship. The exact same philosophy applies to working with a spouse in the business world. Today I’m joined by my beautiful wife to share a very special announcement for all of the couples out there. In June we’re launching something called Marriagehood. It’s a two day experienc...

EP63 Habit Of Connection
May 13, 2019 08:30 - 12 minutes - 18.2 MBWhen is the last time you looked into someone’s eyes and truly saw their soul? I’m talking about sitting directly across from someone and looking past their exterior being. During a biohacking conference I recently attended, we performed this exact exercise with a complete stranger. While I sat there looking at this stranger, it started to bring up feelings of shame and guilt. Why? I realized I wasn’t doing this with my own family. Today I challenge you do perform this exercise with a ...
EP62 Celebrate & Appreciate
May 10, 2019 08:30 - 14 minutes - 19.4 MBWhat happens when we don’t celebrate & appreciate our wins? We end up minimizing everything in our lives. The wins just end up becoming another thing to check off instead of something to look forward to and be proud of. In order to progress and enjoy our lives, we must understand how to gain fulfillment from our victories. Otherwise, we end up aimlessly chasing after things that don’t matter. Today we’re going to learn how appreciating ourselves and our accomplishments leads to a greate...
EP61 Habit Mapping
May 08, 2019 08:30 - 15 minutes - 20.7 MBWhen’s the last time you planned out your week ahead of time? As we’ve discussed in plenty of past episodes, things generally don’t get done unless they’re scheduled. This includes big tasks at work all the way down to daily habits. Possibly the most powerful part of habit mapping is that it gives us a chance to assign a purpose to everything we do. Today I’m going to walk you through the process that I use every single week to keep myself on track, motivated, and moving towards my goals....
EP60 Habit Of Energy & Big Money
May 06, 2019 08:30 - 19 minutes - 26.8 MBEnergy controls every single aspect of our lives. It controls how we show up at the gym, in our relationships, and at work. Yes, it even controls our relationship with money. Oddly enough, money is exactly like love. Both are controlled by spiritual nature, both are pure energy, both require an exchange of value, and just like love money can flow freely in our lives if we allow it. In today’s episode I explain how we can shift out of a scarcity mindset when it comes to money and generat...
EP59 Habit of Consistency
May 03, 2019 08:30 - 18 minutes - 26.1 MBThe more consistent you are, the more successful you can be. Unfortunately, many of us look for that home run. We want to overcome years or even a lifetime of bad habits in the course of days or weeks. Inevitably when it doesn’t happen, we blame the process rather than the approach. We get discouraged and give up rather than looking at why things didn’t work. In today’s episode I’m going to detail how consistency helped me to kick a bad habit of 26 years and how you can apply a similar ...
EP58 Habit Of Accountability
May 01, 2019 08:30 - 13 minutes - 19 MBDo you need someone else to tell you what you need to do? In reality that’s what accountability is to most people. It’s pushing the responsibility of your actions to other people. Is it your coaches fault if you don’t follow the game plan and then don’t wind up getting results? The answer is quite obviously no. So when does accountability become something that builds you up versus something that holds you back? Listen to hear my own experiences with accountability and how you too can t...
EP57 Habit Of Being Stuck
April 29, 2019 08:30 - 13 minutes - 18.9 MBAre you stuck in the past? What if I told you that it takes more energy and effort to hold onto the past than to let it go? When we hold onto the past, we’re actively fighting for the things that “make us who we are.” Ultimately we’re stuck in a story and we don’t want to let go. Today we’re going to talk about how to recognize when you’re trapped in a story, what you can do to get out of it, and how to move on. Are you looking to connect with a group of like minded habit hacking p...

April 26, 2019 08:30 - 46 minutes - 63.3 MBAging is a serious issue for all men, but it’s something most of us don’t want to talk about.

On the show we cover a broad range of topics including penile impla...
EP55 Habits Of CEO Mom
April 24, 2019 08:30 - 26 minutes - 36.6 MBI’m just going to put it out there, most of us men have absolutely no idea what our wives go through on a daily basis.

Today my wife and I take a deep dive into what it means to be the CEO of the household and why it’s important to look out for yourself. We also discuss why treating your house like a business can be beneficial in the long run. ...
EP54 Habit Of Gratitude 2.0
April 22, 2019 08:30 - 14 minutes - 20.5 MBBefore you say it, I know I already did an episode on gratitude. One of the beautiful things about life and living a Habit Based Lifestyle is that if you’re constantly building your habits, you will acquire new tools and tricks. Since the original episode, I’ve grown. I’ve come to realize that there is a model of creating gratitude by moving outside of simply being grateful and shifting your state of being. This one might tax your mind a little bit, but it can completely shift your outl...
EP53 Habit Of Motivation
April 19, 2019 08:30 - 15 minutes - 22.1 MBMotivation is defined as "the reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way.” After 20 years as a coach and a trainer, nothing has been blamed for failed results more than a lack of motivation. When we really nail it down, someone lacking motivation simply hasn’t defined a vision for what they want. When you have a plan, a purpose, and the habits to get there, you will never need external motivation. Listen as I provide a plan to eliminate motivation and get into a...
EP52 Parenting Habits
April 17, 2019 08:30 - 13 minutes - 17.9 MBHave you ever considered the unwritten expectations you have for your children and the impact they have? This is not only on your kids life but also your own. This became incredibly apparent this week when trying to get my son to go to bed. I got triggered because my wife and I hadn’t set out clear guidelines for him, and when he didn’t follow them I got upset. What kind of sense does that make? Today I take you through an exercise called the Parenting Re-Frame which will allow you to t...
EP51 Habit of Intention 2.0
April 15, 2019 08:30 - 12 minutes - 17.9 MBWhen things come up in our life and our thoughts begin to control us, it’s easy to get off track.

Today I dive deep into how intention can transform your life by releasing you from the past and letting you move forward. Are you looking to connect with a group of like minded habit hacking p...
EP50 Habit Of Resilience
April 12, 2019 08:30 - 17 minutes - 24.4 MBWhat happens to you when you get knocked down? Do you give up? Do you sulk? Hopefully you get up and come back harder. The truth of the matter is that life hits every one of us with a lot of punches, some certainly worse than others. The pain of the punch is never what matters, it’s how we take it and react to it. We can choose to stay knocked down, or we can choose to pull ourselves back up. It’s cliche, but it’s true. Today I explore how resiliency has pushed me forward in my life...

EP49 Habit Of Procrastination
April 10, 2019 08:30 - 13 minutes - 17.9 MBHave you ever found that taking the “easy” way out is never actually so easy? Have you ever avoided doing what needs to be done and wound up carrying around completely unnecessary stress? It’s all a result of procrastination. Even though it seems easier, we create problems in our life because we put off important tasks. Listen today to find out how I created three months of stress in my life by putting off a simple task, what I did to fix the problem, and how you can avoid doing the same...

EP47 Marriage Habits #1
April 05, 2019 08:30 - 15 minutes - 21.5 MBCommunication is the most essential piece of maintaining any relationship. When communication is good, a relationship flourishes.

EP46 Habit Of Stress
April 03, 2019 08:30 - 14 minutes - 19.9 MBDo you have a habit of taking on stress? The answer is yes. To some varying degree we all do. The real question isn’t if you have stress, but how do you respond to it? Most likely you’re not even conscious of the way stress is affecting your physical and mental health. From heart disease to high blood pressure to depression and more, the effects of stress run the gamut. So how can you minimize the effect stress has on your body and your mind? Today I’m going to explain how to recognize...
EP45 Habit Of Working Too Much
April 01, 2019 08:30 - 14 minutes - 20.1 MBAs men we tend to default toward working long and hard hours. We create stories that it’s OK because we’re focusing on building our business, that we’re providing for our family, and that we’re creating for our future. If we’re really being honest, these are just stories we’ve made up over the years to justify working ourselves into the ground. Worst of all, we end up working so much we’re unable to actually show up for our families. In today’s episode, I provide some questions to help yo...
EP44 Habit Of Doing The Work
March 29, 2019 08:30 - 10 minutes - 14.4 MBWhen is doing the no longer the way to go? When it becomes forced. The truth is that ’The Work’ never truly goes away. It never goes away in business, my body, or my relationships. Remaining too focused on doing the daily work and simply checking off the boxes doesn’t leave much room for creativity. Today I’m going to discuss how embodying my work has changed my life and provide the tools I used so you can do the same. When you switch from ‘doing the work’ to ‘being the work’, the sense...
EP43 Habit Of Living From An Immature Ego
March 27, 2019 08:30 - 13 minutes - 17.9 MBThe term ego tends to carry a negative connotation. The reality of the situation is there are both positive and negative forms of ego. With the immature ego we tend to live in the past. It is a place of safety because we attempt to control every single aspect of a situation. A mature ego allows us to recognize that we are in fact enough. Today I’m going to explain what you can do to get out of the immature ego, get into the mature ego, shed your mask, and let go of the comfort of the pa...
EP42 Habit Of Comfort
March 25, 2019 08:30 - 15 minutes - 21.3 MBHow often in your life are you searching for comfort? When we’re faced with any challenge in life the easiest thing to do is default back to comfortable situations, whether that’s a friend, a relationship, a former version of ourselves, a habit, and so on. This means that in order to truly change, you must completely change your habits, routines, and environments. How is that done? By releasing yourself from your past negative feelings and emotions. Today I explain why the only way to ch...
EP41 Stretching Your Habits
March 22, 2019 08:30 - 10 minutes - 14.7 MBCore habits are essential to growing and succeeding every day. While your habits don’t have to mirror mine, it’s important to not only establish consistent habits but also to continuously evolve them. Why? If they don’t evolve it's more likely that you’ll become comfortable and fall back into previous patterns and bad habits. Even after living this Habit Based Lifestyle for the past four years, I’m constantly making tweaks to create new results. Listen to find out how to implement this p...
EP40 The Habit Of Helping People
March 20, 2019 08:30 - 13 minutes - 18.8 MBDo you have a habit of wanting to help everyone? I’ve built my career on helping people change their lives in fitness and in the coaching space. Sometimes help isn’t wanted, needed, or necessary. The issue that can occur when we try to solve other people's problems is that they don’t develop the skills to solve problems on their own. During a recent trip to San Francisco, an incident made it apparent the weight I’ve been carrying from trying to solve other people's problems. Listen to di...
EP39 Our Thoughts Are Not Our Reality
March 18, 2019 08:30 - 11 minutes - 16.3 MBDo you have a habit of living in the past or living in the future? One of the biggest problems we have in our lives is that we get stuck. We get stuck because our minds become fixated on something that happened or has yet to happen. The painful part is these past and future thoughts tend to be negative in nature. Instead of focusing on the present moment, we define ourselves by things that already happened. The kicker is that these thoughts aren’t even real. Today I’m going to focus on s...
EP38 Kryptonite
March 15, 2019 08:30 - 12 minutes - 17.6 MBDo you have a habit of avoiding problems? For many of us this is our kryptonite. This is problematic because kryptonite is like a black hole. It swallows light and our capacity to grow. It creates shame, guilt, secrecy, problematic relationships, and much more. For some, kryptonite is addiction. For others, psychological or physical trauma from their youth. No matter the source, kryptonite will destroy ourselves if we let it. So how do we get out of this pit and move on with our lives...

March 11, 2019 08:30 - 11 minutes - 15.5 MBHow often in your life are you saying yes when you really want to say no? Are you committing to things out of a sense of loyalty or obligation? The hard and honest truth is that when when say yes to everyone else, we’re saying no to ourselves. So what would happen if you said yes to yourself and went all in on that one thing that you’ve always wanted to pursue? Today I discuss the outcome of committing all your energy to the development of yourself. To share questions or comments, feel ...
