026 - Ask These 4 Eval Questions for Better Results
Whether you're leading yourself or a team, it's important to regularly evaluate how you're progressing. We all know this but we tend to either make it too complex, and thus not do it as much as we should, or we won't do it often enough to inform our behavior. It's easy to just "keep doing what...

025 - 5 Keys for Adult Athleticism
We all want some "go" with our "show", right? It doesn't make sense to look great and not be able to perform at a high level, as well. Whether you are still playing sports, want to keep up with your kid's in a "friendly" game, or just be prepared for what life throws at you it is important to…

024 - The Belief Loop Trap
Imagine the amound of information your brain takes in every second. From your eyes to your skin to your internal organs and beyond, it's massive. Your brain then has to take all of this information, filter it down to what it deems relevant, and THEN decide what to do based on this data. How does…

-
022 - Building a Winning Identity
We are who we think we are... but it's deeper than that. More specifically, we're who our brain thinks that we are. See, our brain has an image in our mind of "us". It's our identity. This identity shapes how we do things and our decision-making. Your life is largely the result of your identity…

021 - Real Conditioning - Energy Systems 101
"Man, I gotta get in shape!" What does that mean, exactly? That's the problem with "conditioning", "endurance", and "being in shape". We all know what we mean when we say it, and the other person knows what they think it is... but it's often not the same thing. If you were an NFL lineman, you'd...

019 - Fix Your Sleep for a Better Life
I'm a reformed member of the "Grind 'til I die, I'll sleep when I'm dead" club. What is sleep, really? Everyone sleeps, but lots of us take it for granted or think it's something that removes us from the things we want to do. The truth is, sleep is WAY more important than that. Sleep is where our...

018 - How To Find Your Purpose
Everyone makes "Finding Your Purpose" out to be this big, woo-woo, mystical task. It can be - You might be walking down the street and suddenly blindsided by your Purpose. But that's unlikely. Instead, I think there's a simple process that you can use to find the intersection between a couple of...
-
017 - A Year of Wins in 12 Weeks
How can you get a year's worth of wins in just 12 weeks? By getting clear and focused on punching them through to the end. The truth is that most people have a lot going on. That's normal. But the way that most handle it is that they are constantly shuffling things around, moving this or that to...
-
016 - Training Variables for Infinite Progress
There's infinite ways to progress your training, but so many people get caught up in the "new routine" or magic exercise. Sure, those might be the way to go, but often it's getting more out of what you're currently doing OR already know how to do. The body responds to stimulus in just a few ways…
more -
015 - Master Your State Master Yourself
I used to ask all my clients "How's your state?" when they walked in the door. Their answer told me what I needed to know for their training and coaching session that day. Your state is the combination of your emotional and physical experience at any given moment. Effectively, it governs how you...

014 - REAL Smart Goal Setting - No BS
Everyone has heard of SMART Goals. They're the corporate buzzword for goal setting. The issue is, they aren't the best for goal ACHIEVEMENT. Sure, they sound good. People get really excited setting SMART goals, but then they woosh right on by and rarely are achieved. In this podcast I dig into…

We may be living in a modern world but a lot of our mental and physical machinery is still wired for our past evolution. In many ways this is a great thing.

-
011 - Cracking the Habit Code
Your life is largely a sum of your habits. The issue, if you're like most people, is that your habits are arranged in a haphazard way. Some are great for you where as others are pulling against you. This leaves you stuck with holes and gaps in your life. That's because habits are often not…

010 - Fueling the Machine - Understanding Nutrition Priorities
Not all nutrition is equal! People come in two camps - They either like to nitpick and micromanage their nutrition or they'd rather not stress about it at all. Both camps have their place, but the point is that if you want to look, feel, and perform at a high level then you have to at least have...

004 - How To Achieve Real Clarity
Clarity is one of those terms that gets thrown around a lot, but it's more than just sitting around and making a vision board. Real results come from real clarity. If you're not clear, your brain won't let you invest the energy into something. That would be too much risk, and the brain doesn't…

93: The Fallacy of External Leadership
I have so many conversations with people who start plans with the best of intentions. They follow the plan, they do well, and then something happens. They fall off. Something derails them. Eventually they find another plan or guru and repeat the process. Why does this happen? In the moment, it…

There is, and I...
