Just Sitting Stuff w/ Tariq Kamil

It's always been imperative to have a mentor, in any field. But these days, with the reliance on technology and general information, it may be even more critical than ever. In this episode, I go over how I met one of my greatest mentors and touch on how her impact has shaped my professional training career for decades.

I, Tariq Kamil, give my personal and very biased thoughts on hustle culture pros, cons, and trend shifts over time.

My career has always been rooted in a fundamental desire to understand and implement the best coaching strategies and practices available. Whether it's for a personal training client or simply helping a friend, I want to know how and why certain tactics may lead to a successful outcome. All of this started when I was around 13 years old, and I look forward to continuing to grow as a coach for the rest of my life.with Tariq Kamil at BearBones Studio in Dubai

Not every coach-client relationship is built to last — and that’s okay. In this episode, I talk candidly about how to recognize when it's time to let go of a client, why doing so might actually strengthen your business, and how to walk away with confidence and respect. If you've ever felt stuck or second-guessed your gut as a trainer, this one's for you.Why losing a client doesn’t mean you’ve failedThe subtle signs a client has stopped listeningHow to know when it’s time to let go (without guilt)What to say to exit a coaching relationship respectfullyThis one’s for every trainer who’s felt stuck, conflicted, or afraid to make the hard call. Because the truth is: not every client is meant to stay forever.🎥 For more raw takes from the training floor, follow along on Instagram: @morefunnythanfit

Reminiscing on having opened up BearBones Studio nearly one year ago. Going through the process of how I opened it and some of the surprising lessons I've learned along the way. Note: audio got damaged as I'm still learning how to do all of this on my own, will continue to get better as I go.

Sharing why I decided to briefly step away from the social media platform, what my experience was like, and if/how I plan to use social media moving forward.

I've lost count how many times I've attempting to restart this podcast, but here goes again. This time I actually have some confidence that I have a structure and vision to stay more consistent with sharing.

Is there really only ONE way to do things?

About that time I accidentally took 4g of mushrooms...

In this episode I go over why I believe "I can't" is such a dangerous thing to tell ourselves and others.

Today I chime in to let you know about exciting changes ahead for this show.

Today I get to sit down and catch up with my former colleague and good friend Yasmine. We discuss her recent move to a different country, some of the benefits of switching to online training, and touch a bit on the lifestyle differences between Dubai and Thailand.

We had a great end of the year party, and I'd like a second chance to say a few thank you's to a couple people who really shined these past few months.

As you learn more, you also realize the amount of things you don't know. I heard a quote related to this and it made me think about a few ways this impacts me as a professional

Sharing some of the feelings I experienced while celebrating Thanksgiving this year with friends.

Fellas, there's no problem trying to pick up girls at the gym; but if you're going to do it, do it the right way... not like the guys in these 3 short stories did.

This keeps happening to me: clients come and tell me they're doing something new because they heard it on a podcast. In this episode, I share my thoughts on these platforms and what listeners might benefit from being conscious of.

Updates at the near half-way mark of the Naughty or Nice Challenge and some thoughts on the upcoming Halloween holiday.

For years I rejected the idea of social media altogether, I thought I'd be the ONE guy who would die on the hill of people using flip phones. And die I did... Luckily I came back to life in 2023 as a man who appreciates the opportunity that new media outlets give not only the content creators, but for listeners and viewers around the world. I now realize that there's a real possibility to make positive contributions to people's lives simply by sharing stories, conversations, information, and other entertaining content that they may connect with.
