January 12, 2022 08:00 - 14 minutes - 20.1 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.

EP399 Habit Of Working Too Much
December 29, 2021 08:00 - 13 minutes - 18.5 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 h...
EP398 Habit Of Doing The Work
December 27, 2021 08:00 - 9 minutes - 13.5 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 sen...

December 22, 2021 08:00 - 14 minutes - 19.6 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...

EP394 Stretching Your Habits
December 17, 2021 08:00 - 10 minutes - 14.5 MBCore habits are essential to growing and succeeding every day.

EP392 The Habit Of Helping People
December 13, 2021 08:00 - 12 minutes - 17.7 MBDo you have a habit of wanting to help everyone? I’ve built my career by helping people change their lives in fitness and in the coaching space. Sometimes help isn’t wanted, needed, or even necessary. What 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, I had an experience made it apparent the weight that I have been carrying from trying to solve other people's problems. L...

December 10, 2021 08:00 - 10 minutes - 14 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 to us or hasn't even happened yet. 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 goin...

EP389 4 steps to reverse engineer your outcomes
December 06, 2021 08:00 - 9 minutes - 13.5 MBMost of us are stuck in this animalistic state of never being able to shut off our minds. We are stuck in this state because we never fully recover.

EP388 4 steps to reverse engineer your outcomes
December 03, 2021 08:00 - 13 minutes - 18.6 MBMany people are focused on results, but what’s crucial is designing how to get there. Many business owners struggle with getting clear on the outcome that they want. It’s so much easier to be clear on what you don’t want than what you do want. So start with a brainstorm session and get a solid idea of what you want to achieve. From there, you can reverse engineer and figure out the path to that goal. You’ll recognize behaviors that need to change and new habits that need to be formed. ...

EP385 40 Years of Zen Pt 1
November 26, 2021 08:00 - 15 minutes - 20.7 MBLiving a challenge-based lifestyle means creating measurable goals and targets to shoot for.

After all this time, I finally decided to dive deep into being and go down the path of 40 Years Of Zen. While I’m not going to go into...

EP382 Treating marketing like a diet
November 19, 2021 08:00 - 10 minutes - 14.7 MBDo you treat your marketing like you treat a diet? Are you taking shortcuts or having cheat days? Are you looking at it as something you do temporarily, instead of looking at it as a lifestyle change? Many times people will go on a diet to prepare for a vacation or wedding, making it a circumstantial event. The same goes for marketing, people will need new clients or extra income, so they start marketing their services in desperation. If you want these to be lifelong changes, you have t...

EP380 Hiring A Pro
November 15, 2021 08:00 - 12 minutes - 14.3 MBSocial media is a tricky thing. While it’s a great tool to connect and grow a business, it gives people the ability to loo way bigger than they are. I’m not talking physical size, I mean in terms of knowledge and expertise. This means people frequently hire individuals who are individuals posing as pro’s. Instead of getting the best coach or trainer, you wind up getting the best salesperson or marketer. Why does all this matter? It matters because true professionals usually cost more t...
EP379 Fear Of Failure
November 12, 2021 08:00 - 14 minutes - 16.3 MBNo matter if we want to admit it, most of us carry some type of fear. Many times it comes from childhood, where we’re frequently taught that failure is not an option. The problem with this is it creates fear, and it breeds procrastination. Instead of acting, we remain idle and create excuses. Here’s the truth; fear is just a tool to protect us and keep us safe. Fortunately or unfortunately, remaining safe has never helped anyone become successful in any area of their life. The good new...

EP374 Lack of Communication
November 01, 2021 07:00 - 14 minutes - 20.4 MBStories can be created in relationships due to lack of communication. Without clear communication, it’s easy to create false expectations. This isn’t limited to romantic relationships, it can happen in business, parenting, friendships, etc. As a business owner, I’ve created stories in my head regarding things that needed to be done. I’ve then proceeded to become upset when things are not accomplished, even though it was me who failed to communicate with my employees. How can you avoid c...

EP372 Four Ways to Improve your Relationships
October 27, 2021 07:00 - 12 minutes - 17.1 MBHave you ever heard the saying ‘happy spouse, happy house’? How about, ‘a person who feels appreciated will always do more than expected’? When we honor the needs of those around us, we’re more likely to get what we need in return than if we go in just looking at what's in it for me. When we can do that, we are coming into that relationship with a spirit of wanting to give, and that’s a good spirit to have. It’s a spirit of gratitude that the other person will surely feel and reciprocate. ...

EP361 Do You Have A Habit Of Not Smiling?
October 01, 2021 07:00 - 12 minutes - 14.3 MBSmiling is contagious. Whether you pay attention or not, a smile will lift your spirits.
