People lie. I'm not talking about lying to other people, I'm talking about the lies that we tell ourselves about what we want and what we're willing to do to get it. There's no greater "set-up to fail" situation then when you set goals for yourself that don't matter to you. It's like inputting the wrong location in your GPS, then feeling stupid, disappointed and unfulfilled when you arrive at your destination. In this episode I address how to find clarity in what you TRULY want, and the 3 things that will show you what really matters to you (right now) and how to change them. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: => Why the fastest way to progress is to tread slowly (contrary to what most people will tell you) => How I continually failed at achieving my goals until I realized the REAL reason I couldn't follow through with them => What finally motivated me to get serious about what I set out to do => The 3 things that will determine what really matters to you (right now) and the awareness test that will let you know where you're directing your efforts and focus => How your inner commitments match your external actions, and how all it takes is a piece of paper and a pencil to align them => And the "focusing question" that will remove overwhelm and help move you closer towards your goals.

I'm excited to announce the first ever episode of Vigor Life. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: => The origins of the podcast => Why a body transformation happens in the brain (based on the habits that YOU create) => And how changing your body and life is a puzzle and WHY you need to become a detective to find your limiting factors before you can address them one-by-one. While I believe that fitness is one of the BEST VEHICLES to help empower you to become a leader and go after what you want, build self-esteem, and get stronger (inside and out), there's more to a transformation than you may think. Over the last decade I've trained thousands of people and developed a coaching program that helps people (perhaps like yourself) piece together their own extraordinary life. This podcast will be a combination of thoughts, perspectives, strategies, tactics, stories and inspiration from myself and some of the world's top coaches in strength, fitness, nutrition, movement, behavior change, business, and much more.

In this this episode we'll cover the question: "What are the securities and insecurities of being an entrepreneur?" The answer could also be what's stopping you from achieving ALL of your pursuits and goals in life. In fact, the perspective you glean from this episode could help shift how you look at your body, your business/career, your relationships, and even your mindset. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: => One of the main differences between being successful in business (or any other project) => Why you should want to have pressure if you truly want to start a business (or anything you want to achieve for that matter) => The "security trap" that's actually creating insecurity in your life (fall for this and you're in trouble) => And the 3 things that you should do regardless of how you feel when it comes to being successful in your body, business and life, period.
