039: Good is Not Always Good Enough

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of PROCAST BY JOSH, I share a shorter solo episode around a theme that continues to come up through coaching conversations, client check ins, guest episodes, and my own life.The idea is simple.Good is not always good enough.Not because what you are doing is bad, and not because you need to be perfect, but because sometimes what worked for where you were is not enough for where you want to go next.In this episode, I share a personal story from my time working as an architect, when I thought I was making great nutrition choices for my goals. A simple conversation with a colleague changed the way I looked at food, structure, portions, preparation, and what it really means to eat with intention.That one conversation helped open my eyes to a completely different level of understanding around nutrition, which later led me into competing, studying nutrition, and eventually leaving architecture to build a career in fitness.Key topics include• why good choices are not always the best choices for your goal• the difference between eating healthy and eating with intention• why being open to feedback can change everything• how pride can keep us stuck without us realising• why what got you here might not get you there• how this applies to bodybuilding, competing, and chasing the next level• why results are not always in your control, but effort and response are• the importance of staying curious, humble and coachable• what it means to be PRO in your own worldAt the heart of this episode is the reminder that every new level usually requires a new level of understanding.Whether you are stepping into the gym for the first time, chasing a physique goal, competing, building a business, or trying to grow in any area of life, the message is the same.Stay open.Stay coachable.And be willing to ask, “what am I not seeing?”If you enjoyed this episode and want more insights, resources, giveaways, and deeper thoughts around the podcast topics and coaching conversations we discuss here, you can join the PRO YOU newsletter through the link in my Instagram bio.You can connect with me on Instagram here@josh_thefitnessproIf this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone in your circle who might need this message right now.
