*BONUS ENTREPRENEUR AND MINDSET EPISODE Ever wondered how to not only create massive success but also live life to its fullest, and be extremely happy along the way? Yeah, me too... My friend Jimmy Rex joined me on the podcast today to help us with some key points on how to do exactly that. Jimmy has many titles, from entrepreneur, to social influencer, to speaker, and to real estate expert, just to name a few. He is a man of many talents and truly lives a life that most of us could only dream of. But it was all very intentional. He put in the work for a decade, all with the vision of the amazing life Jimmy has today. He has traveled the world, been to so many big sporting events, has sat at dinner tables with some of the most influential people in business and sports. But it has all been by design. He shared stories of failure, stories of triumph and tips/tricks on how Jimmy has been truly at his core, happy through it all.

Today's episode was with my good friend, Chad Neilson, also know as Plant Based Chad! I wanted to get Chad on to talk about being a competitive athlete while being plant based. Chad also is NOT a coach, so he has no monetization to gain from this. I am clearly not a plant based guy, and I did not feel judged for being a meat eater. Just like I didn't judge Chad for being plant based. It was a very respectful and intellectual conversation that I know you all will get a ton of value from! Macro E-Book Presale - Click Here Topics we covered in the podcast: Why he calls myself plant based instead of vegan Favorite plant based protein and restaurants Ditching any dogma about being plant based His "agenda" and bias and cognitive dissonance His journey of Plant Based eating A few things from the movie Game Changers which really stood out to him And lastly, He Answered the age old questions "What do you actually eat?" and "How do you get enough protein?"

Most diets fail because we overcomplicate the process. It's simple at its core, eat at a calorie deficit and you will lose weight. How you want to achieve that is totally up to you. There are some cases of extreme cases of dieting where you actually need MORE calories, but for the vast majority of people, create the deficit, and you will lose weight. Stop complicating the process and in return, your results will be exponentially better.

Today's episode was with a long time friend and fellow coach in the industry, Mike Manfe. We talked about his new branding, Evolve Culture and what that means at its core. We also discussed my new favorite segment, how to spot a BS coach. We touched on why so many people don't achieve their fitness goals and what he suggests to help someone find their passion. Mike is also a father as of this year and we could not be happier for him. I asked him how being a father has changed his life, he gives a great response! Mike is one of the top nutrition coaches in the state and delivers amazing client results. It was an honor and pleasure to sit down with him to talk and collaborate with the "competition". Scarcity mindset is not a winning mindset, today we both choose to live in abundance.

In today's episode, Michelle joined me in answering all of you lovely peoples questions! First part we recapped our amazing trip to San Jose to hang with the Mind Pump crew. We then jumped into the Q & A. We talked about everything from the most impactful thing anyone has ever said to me, to battling postpartum depression and anxiety, to the type of carbohydrates used in a cut and much, much more. Last few minutes I recall how I bought my dog on a lunch break and the terror that ensued afterwards. Quick knowledge bombs dropped with laughs mixed into this one. Enjoy!

Today's episode was on a cliche subject, yet so incredibly important. Learning how to embrace the process. So many people hear that, but what does that really mean? I shared my personal story of when I finally bought into the process of recovery. How it changed the trajectory of my whole life, and how it all correlates back to ones fitness journey. I am passionate about this subject. The passion bleeds through in this one! Stop running from discomfort and fall in love with the challenges. It's a message I really, really want to get out. Please share this with anyone who resents the process, or any time they "have" to eat healthy. Enjoy!

Today's episode was deep. Our guest was none other than one of the most respected Keto coaches out there, Coach Tara Garrison. What I love about Tara is even though she is an expert in Keto, she is not a zealot with it. She is not dogmatic on any one approach being the best for a client. She educated us on how to properly use Keto, and why throwing in carbs can be such a valuable tool. We also talked about Tara's personal story, which was deep and meaningful, to say the least. Her journey of leaving a religion she was very involved in, her thoughts on plant medicine and redefining herself after having four kids and a divorce. I was absolutely honored to have Tara on the show and I know this one will be worth the hour you spend.

Additional Questions covered: Best protein powder? Tips for sober socializing? How to help clients find their "currency" to achieve lasting results?
