May 11, 2022 12:00 - 18 minutes - 25.8 MBDo you have a habit of letting fear take control of your life? Fear can be crippling and prevent us from living our becoming our best self.

EP484 Habit Of Love + Fun = Connection
May 09, 2022 07:00 - 11 minutes - 16.1 MBWhen is the last time you had fun? I’m talking about real fun, not fun that occurred through the use of alcohol or other substance. For most of us, it might be challenging to think of a time. Why? Most of us carry a strong need to be in control. This need to be in control is what ultimately prevents us from letting go, getting lost in the moment, having fun, and creating deep connections. Today I talk about a situation in my own life where I disconnected from everything, focused on the ...

April 27, 2022 12:02 - 20 minutes - 28.5 MBDo you know the difference between the human funnel strategy and organic marketing? Jesse refers to organic marketing as old school, with the human funnel strategy being new school.

EP447 Habit Of Status
April 22, 2022 07:00 - 13 minutes - 17.9 MBIn general, status has referred to popularity. Social media has shifted this notion over the past few years. When you really think about it, how many actual friends do you have on Facebook, Instagram, or any other social platform? I’m not talking about followers or people that like your comments, I’m talking about actual friends. For most of us, it’s probably very few. The truth is that we place so much value on status in this country that it pushes many people to go as far as acquiring ...
EP446 PM Habits
April 20, 2022 07:00 - 14 minutes - 20.4 MBWhen it comes to plotting our day, an incredible emphasis is placed on what we do in the morning. Take a look on Amazon or on the shelves at your favorite retailer, and you’ll see that the majority of habit based books are geared toward the morning. The truth is that what we do at night has the greatest effect on how we show up every single morning. Today, I’m going to share four small habits that you can do every night to put yourself in a position of power every morning. -- Are you ...
EP445 Habit Of Meditation
April 18, 2022 07:00 - 23 minutes - 31.8 MBMeditation is defined as the practice of thinking deeply or focusing one’s mind for an extended period of time.

If you’re interested in getting started with meditation, this episode is a must-listen. I explain some of my favorite techniq...
EP444 James Brown - Meditation Guru
April 15, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 103 MBToday we are here with James Brown to talk about the Habit of Meditation. James discusses many ways to get started with meditation.

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 meditation can c...
EP443 Habit Of Insecurity
April 13, 2022 07:00 - 16 minutes - 22.6 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...
EP442 Jeffrey Cronk Testimonial
April 11, 2022 07:00 - 21 minutes - 28.9 MBRunning three businesses keeps Jeffrey Cronk busy, but he wanted to work smarter, not harder.

After investing $50k+ and countless hours, Jeffrey was hesitant when he heard Jesse’s pitch on creating predictable leads. Jesse’s presentation and confidence won Jeffrey over, and he d...

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...
EP440 Habit Of Identity
April 06, 2022 07:00 - 16 minutes - 22.9 MBOur identity is a mixture of what others believe 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 t...

EP437 Celebrating New Habits
March 30, 2022 07:00 - 14 minutes - 20.3 MBDo you struggle with sticking to your habits? Do you know the number one reason why people don’t stick to their habits? First, let's look at the ABC method of implementing a habit. A is for anchor, which is something you already do consistently every day. Say you already have a consistent workout habit, that’s your anchor. B is for behavior, that’s the new habit you want to implement. Let's say you want to get in the habit of praying every day, anchor that to your workout habit. As so...
EP436 1 on 1 Coaching vs Group Whats Better
March 28, 2022 07:00 - 16 minutes - 22.3 MBWhen it comes to coaching, which is better: one on one or group? That depends on where you’re at in your coaching journey and what you’re looking to accomplish. There are pros and cons to both that Jesse is going to go over today. If you’re new to coaching, you might want to stick to one on one to begin with until you get your framework and systems really dialed in. You probably don’t want to stay there, though, as it’s not as scalable or as profitable. A small group is a great next step...
EP435 Jocelyn`s Podcast
March 25, 2022 07:00 - 8 minutes - 11.9 MBToday Jesse has a very special guest, his baby girl, Jocelyn. At six and a half years old, Jocelyn’s favorite part of her day was getting a visit from a leprechaun that left behind some chocolate gold coins for her.

She’s on a soccer team and says she enjoys kicking the ball and having snacks afterwards. When she’s not busy on the field, she...
EP434 Testimonial Derek Snow
March 23, 2022 07:00 - 17 minutes - 24.3 MBDerek Snow runs No Dog Left Behind, a dog training business based out of Canada. He’s been in the business for 15 years and found himself stuck in his own self imposed limitations. He was working 80-90 hours a week to bring in $10-12k a month.

He credits Jesse and his team with helping him to get out of his own way. He’s since...
EP433 CJ Benkert Testimonial
March 21, 2022 08:00 - 20 minutes - 28.8 MBDr. CJ Benkert spent 20 years as a chiropractor before she got burnt out and wanted to try something new.

EP432 Work Life Balance
March 18, 2022 08:00 - 16 minutes - 22 MBHaving a healthy work/life balance is important and something a lot of people struggle with. As a business owner, Jesse gets asked a lot about how he achieves this. So, today he’s sharing his tips and tricks. The number one thing he recommends is to set working hours and stick to them. Sometimes the more you work, the less productive you are. Setting time constraints forces you to get the work done within a certain time. Jesse also says it’s important to schedule your breaks, and to ma...
EP431 Power in Repeated Messages with Justin Weeder
March 16, 2022 08:00 - 40 minutes - 56.1 MBJustin Weeder is a sales coach and closer for Habit Based Lifestyle, and he’s here to talk about how content equates to clients. It’s no secret that people buy from those that they know, like, and trust. Social media is a great avenue to accomplish this. If someone scrolled through your profile, would they walk away knowing who you are and how you can help them? A lot of time that isn’t the case, and it’s usually because they lack consistency. When people are consistent, they develop a ...
EP430 Habit of Date Weekends
March 14, 2022 08:00 - 16 minutes - 23.3 MBWhen was the last time you made the 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, but als...
EP429 Habit of Co-Creation
March 11, 2022 08:00 - 35 minutes - 49.2 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 the couples out there. We launched something called Marriagehood. It’s a two-day experience designed to l...
EP428 Habit Of Connection
March 09, 2022 08:00 - 11 minutes - 15.2 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 to perform this exercise with a...
EP427 Celebrate & Appreciate
March 07, 2022 08:00 - 11 minutes - 16 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 are going to learn how appreciating ourselves and our accomplishments leads to a grea...
EP426 Stopped Lying
March 04, 2022 08:00 - 14 minutes - 20.5 MBIt has been 6 years since Jesse quit a 26-year addiction. As a health professional that was teaching others how to be healthy, Jesse wasn’t taking his own advice. With an addiction to chew, Jesse had tried patches, gum, and pills to quit. It wasn’t until he figured out it was going to take hundreds of conscious decisions a day to not cave to stress and chew. Jesse began to realize that he would chew to suppress negative feelings and emotions. All he was doing was lying to himself. He w...
EP425 Habits That Grow or Multiply
March 02, 2022 08:30 - 10 minutes - 14.1 MBThere are two types of habits, those that grow, and those that multiply. Today we are going to gain a perspective on how to grow with a habit, and how to multiply because of a habit. Exercise is an example of a habit you grow with. Your duration or intensity increases over time before it becomes truly effective. Other than working out and a few others, most habits take less than 20 minutes to be effective. It’s because it all depends on how often we do it. Take praying, for example, th...
EP424 Habit Mapping
February 28, 2022 08:00 - 13 minutes - 18.9 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. ...
EP423 Habit Of Energy & Big Money
February 25, 2022 07:59 - 17 minutes - 24.1 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 genera...
EP422 Kristi Battelini Results
February 23, 2022 08:00 - 12 minutes - 17.2 MBKristi Battelini has only been inside the Habit Based Lifestyle Accelerator for two and a half weeks, but she says she’s already gotten back what she paid for the program. She was no stranger to business courses, small groups, and one-on-one coaching, but she felt like the results were all over the place. Other programs had clients trickling in, sporadic leads, and were tedious. With the Habit Based Lifestyle Accelerator, Kristi noticed right away the great structure and support. She’s e...
EP421 Habit of Consistency
February 21, 2022 08:00 - 16 minutes - 22.8 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 simila...
EP420 Habit Of Accountability
February 18, 2022 08:00 - 12 minutes - 17.4 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 ...
EP419 Habit Of Being Stuck
February 16, 2022 08:00 - 11 minutes - 16.4 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 are 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 ha...
EP418 Habit Of Gratitude 2.0
February 14, 2022 16:15 - 12 minutes - 17.5 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 simply being grateful and shifting your state of being. This one might tax your mind a little, but it can completely shift your outlook by ...
EP417 Habit of Motivation
February 11, 2022 08:00 - 12 minutes - 17.6 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...
EP416 Parenting Habits
February 09, 2022 08:00 - 11 minutes - 16 MBHave you ever considered the unwritten expectations you have for your children and the impact they have? This is not only on your kid's 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...

EP414 Staying Committed to Your Goals
February 04, 2022 08:00 - 11 minutes - 15.9 MBAre you consistently winning? Jesse has spent the last month trying to get back on track with his habits. He tracked his progress daily to stay accountable. Tracking everything from workouts to prayers, Jesse saw a pattern of consistency and discipline. So many people set goals and look at it from a yearly perspective. When you break it into 90-day, 30-day, and even daily segments, you have a more defined path. Knowing what you need to do day in and day out to reach a goal will help yo...
EP413 Habit of Intention 2.0

EP412 Habit Tracking
January 28, 2022 08:00 - 14 minutes - 20.5 MBHave you ever heard of the ‘valley of disappointment’? In the book, Atomic Habits, it’s described as the 4-6 weeks between starting a goal and seeing any results. So many people get discouraged and quit during this time, and that’s why habit tracking is so essential. Jesse is breaking down what habit tracking is, why it’s important, and how you can implement it into your day-to-day routine. Whether you have a 90-day challenge or a one-year goal, habit tracking keeps you aware of the smal...
EP411 1% Better Everyday
January 26, 2022 08:00 - 17 minutes - 23.4 MBWhat does it mean to be 1% better every day? It’s improving yourself little by little consistently over time. Compete with yourself to be better than you were the day before. Set goals in all five areas of your life-physical, mental, relational, financial, and spiritual-and make conscious choices to move towards those goals daily. If we don’t choose to be better, we’re choosing to be worse by default. Being just 1% better every day equates to 38x better in a year. Take your physical hea...
EP410 Habit Tracking
January 24, 2022 08:00 - 14 minutes - 20.4 MBHave you ever heard of the valley of disappointment? It’s that time between starting a goal and actually seeing any results. People often get discouraged during this time and think that nothing is actually working. They say it takes about 4-6 weeks before we see any noticeable results. During that time, try to track your new habits towards your goal. When we actually track our progress, we notice the small changes taking place. It’s pretty much a fact that what we track will improve. ...
EP409 Are you leading in your business
January 21, 2022 08:00 - 15 minutes - 20.8 MBOnly a little ways into the new year and Jesse has already learned an important lesson. While having a conversation with one of his employees, Jesse was called out on not leading the team. When he sat and thought about it, Jesse had to agree. He was running to the destination and leaving the others behind to figure it out. Jesse had to ask himself what he could do differently. He realized he needed to sit down with his team and make sure they were all on the same page and knew the destin...
EP408 It's Not Just About the What or the Why
January 19, 2022 08:00 - 23 minutes - 32.4 MBWe’re still early in the new year and people are focused on setting goals. There’s one huge, fundamental problem that Jesse see’s when it comes to creating goals. Lots of coaches and gurus out there will tell you it’s all about the what and the why. But what about the how? Every time Jesse hired someone, he found they knew what to do and why they were doing it, but they didn’t know how to break it down and get there. This was a big reason for Jesse to create The Habit Based Lifestyle. ...
