#2 Logan Cole

In this podcast I sit down with Logan Cole.  Please allow me to apologise for the cursing in this podcast - both Logan and I were once apprentice tradespeople and I didn't even notice how frequent the swearing was in this conversation until I re-listened to it. That said, I do think there were plenty of gems in this podcast so I hope you listeners get some value from it. Logan Cole is a fitness gear selling, strength & conditioning coaching, qualified electrician with a great perspective. I really enjoyed this conversation and in an attempt to improve what I do, I've put together this episode guide for you all below: 00:45 | Everyone is interesting, experience is a story 04:10 | Getting into the zone & starting out 06:10 | Focusing on your own journey 08:10 | Appearance vs Reality 09:35 | Being in motion vs stuck in research 10:57 | Why mentality -> Why not? 13:00 | Pushing through & forming barriers 17:20 | Choosing to do something 19:30 | Logan's childhood / development 20:25 | Dealing with expectations & letting people down 22:30 | Getting injured & losing identity 26:42 | Changing environments to get out of your comfort zone 29:00 | ACL / MCL Injury 32:10 | Support of a partner 34:30 | Fruits of labour and recognising labour 38:00 | Pressure as motivation 41:32 | Path of least resistance / giving yourself no other option 45:17 | Health & Fitness - where's the shortcut? 47:35 | Beginnings of the fitness business & leaving a trade 56:25 | Culture and monkeys 01:00:00 | Reaching goals & self awareness 01:05:25 | The Gary Vee effect 01:10:40 | Having different personas and being authentic 01:16:00 | Self projection, gratitude and chicken 01:20:00 | Achieving specific goals.. now what? 01:22:28 | The difference between motion & action 01:27:40 | Plateaus in training 01:35:36 | Social media as a snap shot & nutrition 01:47:15 | Meal preps & the protein window
