iTunes l Stitcher l Spotify l Google Play Music Before you write me off as another “get fit quick” scam artist based on the title of this episode, hear me out. On 9/1 we’re starting one of our most successful challenges called Project 45. It’s 45 days of no cheats, no excuses, and no bullshit. Is 45 days enough time to radically overhaul your life and undo all the damage you’ve done to yourself with eating crap foods and sitting on your ass over the last 30 years? No, of course not. But that’s not the goal of this challenge. The goal of this challenge is to help you get insanely consistent wi ..read more

iTunes l Stitcher l Spotify l Google Play Music So today I’m not going to tell you how to get and stay fit but rather exactly what to do if you want to stay fat forever. Obviously, I’m not condoning you do any or all of these things, but I’m asking you to look at your current lifestyle and see exactly how many of these you are doing right now. And once you realize that you’re doing the wrong things and sabotaging your results, you can get to work on changing them! Here they are: Hopping from diet to diet Not strength training Not being consistent with the basics like sleep, sun, and water Fo ..read more

iTunes l Stitcher l Spotify l Google Play Music I’m a realist. Yes, I coach dads for a living and have to motivate and inspire them to take action, but at the end of the day, I’m still a realist. Specifically, I fully understand that giving a busy father a full on training program and customized diet makes sense on paper, but falls a bit short in reality. Meaning, regardless of how solid a program is, you still have to actually follow it for it to be effective. And since I’m not coaching 22 year olds who have all the time in the world to dedicate to their fitness, I have to account for the fa ..read more

iTunes l Stitcher l Spotify l Google Play Music Today I talk about two things that come up a lot for me as a fitness coach. The first is when people view exercise as a punishment. I get it, many people don’t enjoy throwing around heavy weights and getting all sweaty and nasty. Others can’t stand being in a gym with all the meatheads. I’ve had quite a few clients over the years tell me how much they dreaded going to the gym to train and guess what? I didn’t make them. Instead I found alternate ways to get them involved in exercise. Getting into shape doesn’t have to revolve around heavy barbel ..read more

iTunes l Stitcher l Spotify l Google Play Music As fathers, we’d gladly lay down our lives for our children. That’s a given. But the bigger question is whether we’re living for them right now. And to that point, are we doing the things right now that allow us to be truly and fully present for them? The answer is a resounding “no”. There are many reasons we’re falling short, from excuses, lack of motivation, and putting ourselves last. And I’ve said this many times before and it’s as true now as it ever was and that’s “if you aren’t even taking care of yourself, how can you take care of your f ..read more

iTunes l Stitcher l Spotify l Google Play Music As you know, social media is like the wild west. Anyone can post anything regardless of how true or accurate it is. The idea of social, at least for those in the fitness coaching space, is to get eyeballs and dollars. And I’ve seen it all. Bad coaches, lying coaches, scams, blatant rip offs, and misleading information. I’m thoroughly disgusted by the amount of pure bullshit that’s being taught and sold online and it’s causing a lot of frustration and confusion for the general population who is just trying to get healthier. So today I talk about ..read more

iTunes l Stitcher l Spotify l Google Play Music So today’s show is a little different than my previous ones in that I’m sharing a specific conversation I had with a member of our private community in the hopes that it helps you in some way. About a month ago, a dad reached out to me and shared some of his struggles with his weight and health and we ended up in a conversation that ended with him committing to making some healthy changes to his lifestyle. After a few weeks I got a follow up message and it totally blew me away. The physical and mental changes he made in this short time were asto ..read more

iTunes l Stitcher l Spotify l Google Play Music We all want to be fit, healthy, lean, strong, energetic, and attractive to the opposite (or same) sex. And we want it not just for a week or a month, but for the rest of our lives. But too many of us aren’t doing the things needed to get and stay there. Instead, we procrastinate, make excuses, and do what’s comfortable. And it doesn’t work. I don’t have any hacks or shortcuts to the above mentioned, but I do have a roadmap for you to follow. And no it’s doesn’t cost $99.99 or require entry into one of my high ticket coaching program. It just tak ..read more

iTunes l Stitcher l Spotify l Google Play Music I see it all the time; guys who think they’re doing the “right” things for their fitness and body, but in actuality it’s hurting them. Often times, it’s because there is just so much information out there, most of it conflicting, and it’s difficult to know if you’re on the right track or just falling victim to another fad or scam. Billions of dollars each year are wasted this way and it infuriates me to no end. So today I’m going to share some common things that you might think are moving you towards your fitness goals, but in all reality are mo ..read more

iTunes l Stitcher l Spotify l Google Play Music It happens to almost all of us at some point. We’re kicking butt in the gym, eating clean, feeling great, and seeing results and then it hits; we get sick or injured and are forced to stop our routine that’s been working so well. It sucks because the last thing we want to do when things are working is take a break. But inevitably it happens and we have to stay home to rest and recover. And most times, we fall right back into our old ways and habits, load up on comfort foods, and become lazy pieces of crap again. It’s happened to me dozens of tim ..read more
