Eric Byrnes is a former MLB star who is now on the MLB Network. Last summer, in order to bring attention to the lack of PE in our schools, Eric swam, ran, and rode across the United States from San Francisco to New York City, and the documentary he created, Let Them Play, is awesome. Eric came on to chat about the lack of PE in schools and the creation of his film. In this episode of Barbell Shrugged, the guys take a look into the software of the body and how high performers use language to advance their athletic and coaching careers.   In this episode of Barbell Shrugged, Anders Varner and Doug Larson discuss:   Transitioning from Major League Baseball to endurance racing.   Setting world records in golf.   Why our country is so sick.   How to reshape the culture for children to help them play   Spreading the message of movement through action   The Let Them Play documentary filmed in a race across the country   And more…   Eric Byrnes on Instagram   Anders Varner on Instagram   Doug Larson on Instagram ____________________________________________ TRAINING PROGRAMS   One Ton Strong - 8 Weeks to PR your snatch, clean, jerk, squat, deadlift, and bench press   One Ton Challenge   20 REP BACK SQUAT PROGRAM ____________________________________________ Please Support Our Sponsors   “Save $20 on High Quality Protein Powder at Momentous livemomentous.com/shrugged us code “SHRUGGED” at checkout.   US Air Force Special Operations - http://airforce.com/specialops   Organifi - Save 20% using code: “Shrugged” at organifi.com/shrugged   WHOOP - Save $30 on 12 or 18 month membership plan using code “SHRUGGED” at checkout ---------------------------------------------------------------- Show notes at: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/bbs-byrnes ---------------------------------------------------------------- ► Subscribe to Barbell Shrugged's Channel Here ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.  Usually in the gym, but outside as well.

In this week, Danny Rios and Ben Walker are back to the show and we're going to talk about how to build your coaching business. Enjoy!

In life and in business we have to make a lot of tough decisions. Sometimes to get closer to our goals you have to quit that very thing that makes you money right now. As scary as some of these scenarios may sound, they are absolutely crucial to your success in becoming exactly what you want be. Nancy and myself talk about some of the things that we had to quit, that eventually lead to our biggest breakthroughs.    Be sure to checkout gymryan.com to get details on my next keto cycling challenge and check out my latest training ebooks!   ---------------------------------------------------------------- Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-ep105 ----------------------------------------------------------------   ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.  Usually in the gym, but outside as well.

Are you a coach who is passionate about creating solutions to the “bigger problems” you see in the gym everyday?    Are you still struggling on where to go to find the solutions?   Like many coaches out there, Daniel Hong had the fire to help but didn’t quite have the tools. When you listen to Daniel speak about his commitment to excellence you will have little doubt that he would eventually get exactly what he needed to crush the 1-on-1 business and change the lives of others.   In this episode we talk about the problems he heard day-to-day while coaching classes and his frustration with the lack of time to solve them. We discuss the mindset required to set the right price for a 1-on-1 session, what really happens when you discount your prices, plus what to do when you know that the group setting is no longer serving you.   Did we mention, Daniel was able to do all of this before even starting our Immersion course by just watching a short video?    Minutes: 5:00 - The invisible gorilla 11:00 - Creating the value 1-on-1 18:15 - The truth behind a price tag 26:45 - What a “discount” really means 37:00 - When your workouts no longer serve you 42:00 - How important is it, REALLY?

Today's show is a lot of fun because we flipped the script and I get interviewed by Drew Dillon and Aaron Jannetti of The Kamiwaza Podcast. I'm sharing this because we cover a lot of new ground in the world of coaching and development. We touched on so many important areas of identity, internal stories, journaling, psychology, flow state, trauma, and growth.  Enjoy!

Have you ever had an employee leave and take over $15,000 of revenue with them? Our guest was THAT employee, but don’t get triggered just yet.   In this episode, we’re talking to 1-on-1 Active Life Coach and personal trainer Larry Gaier. He talks about his decision to leave his job at New York Sport Club and take his clients with him.   If you haven’t experienced remote programming for yourself it may seem unlikely that you can achieve the same results, if not better, and never even see your coach or trainer in person. We discuss the difficult choice he had to make in leaving his dream job and why he doesn’t regret it for a second. Plus, Larry talks about how he restructured his services to do less work while making more money, having a greater impact on his clients, and how you can start doing the same.    Minutes: 11:15 Charging what you’re worth 18:15 Be a reflection of your intentions 22:50 Building competence & confidence 29:30 Creating self-efficacy 34:00 When to refer out   Please Support our Sponsors Organifi - Save 20% at http://organifi.com/shrugged   Connect with us: Work with an Active Life Coach like Larry: http://activeliferx.com/shrugged Find Larry @larry_thehuman Find Dr. Sean @DrSeanPastuch ---------------------------------------------------------------- Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/alr-larryg ---------------------------------------------------------------- ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.  Usually in the gym, but outside as well.
