Episode 69: The Law of Attraction Sal Frisella, President of 1st Phorm joined us again today to talk about the law of attraction, and how it has contributed to his personal values and business growth. Being true to yourself, focusing only on the problems within your control, and visualizing a life you want down to the details - are the fundamentals of attracting the people, places, events, and thins you want to experience. Fear is the default ruling mindset of many people today, and the law of attraction requires one to first step out of fear and into the idea that the universe gives infinitely if you put the right energy in. --🏆 THE EXCELLENCE CARTEL 🏆 Follow us on Instagram: scoobyprep1_ifbbpro - Jason Theobald firstcalloutfitness - Jeffrey Su jeffunbreakableblack - Jeff Black the_excellence_cartel - The Excellence Cartel IG Page #theexcellencecartel www.physiqueeducationcollective.com

Episode 67: Body Image Today we decided to open up about a subject many people struggle with but few wish to discuss: body image issues. It's more prevalent than you may think, and despite what social media may portray, chances are if you have a body, you have body image issues. But it's okay, we have them too. We discuss five main groups or ways body image issues can arise: while feeding up for hormonal repair, in men with low T, during improvement seasons, in former competitors, while transitioning away from competing, and in the general population. If you have body image issues reach out to someone for support. If you believe you have serious issues, seek professional help. 🏆 THE EXCELLENCE CARTEL 🏆 Follow us on Instagram: scoobyprep1_ifbbpro - Jason Theobald firstcalloutfitness - Jeffrey Su jeffunbreakableblack - Jeff Black the_excellence_cartel - The Excellence Cartel IG Page #theexcellencecartel www.physiqueeducationcollective.com

Episode 65: The Costs of Doing Business Today we invited Jason Phillips back onto the cartel to join us in sharing our stories and struggles as coaches and business owners. While most people think about strategy, revenue, and operations when it comes to business, few think about or are willing to talk about emotional availability, inadequacy, and the desire to be so good at what you do that you’re willing to let other areas of your life crumble. Success and fulfillment are two different things that don’t always go together. Far too often people think the solution is more, and tie their decision making to projected or perceived outcomes. But at the end of the day, you’ve gotta like what you see in the mirror and you’ve gotta love the process. We hope you find direction and some peace in our stories. 🏆 THE EXCELLENCE CARTEL 🏆 Follow us on Instagram: scoobyprep1_ifbbpro - Jason Theobald firstcalloutfitness - Jeffrey Su jeffunbreakableblack - Jeff Black the_excellence_cartel - The Excellence Cartel IG Page #theexcellencecartel www.physiqueeducationcollective.com

Lacey breaks down the causes and effects of hyperadrenalism and hypoadrenalism, and we each share our approaches to troubleshoot. While we've talked about cortisol and the adrenals before, you won't want to miss this episode from a fresh and applicable perspective. --
