From Adversity to Abundance

Matt Izzo is a transformation expert, a holistic fitness coach, and an Ironman athlete. He spent most of his life being obese and depressed. He had low self-esteem and self-limiting beliefs, which held him back from unleashing his potential. Then, he transformed himself into the positive role model he is today.

But that came only after he conquered his self-limiting mindset to gain the power and confidence to tackle his challenges. Through his ups and downs, he has realized that completing his goals isn’t the end. He needed to keep pushing forward, maintain consistency, and work towards new goals. Join Matt as he brings Jamie up to speed with his incredible story. Now Matt is focused on helping others transform themselves to live their best lives. “You have to know how to treat yourself with unconditional love. And treat yourself with compassion for when you're not making the mark, but hold yourself accountable, demand more from yourself, and go out and execute that.” “If you believe in yourself, are committed to something, and show up consistently, you will be successful.” Tune in as Matt and Jamie talk about:· Matt’s positive take on naysayers.· His business model and goals.· Matt’s mindset and training approach before the Ironman.· The effect of the pandemic on his plans to compete in a race.· Challenges he faced competing in the Ironman.· How he overcame his struggles while running 26.2 miles.· The next objective of his fitness journey.· How walking can be more beneficial and healthier than running.· How lack of self-belief holds people back.· Why you must become your own best coach.· The Internet can be extremely beneficial or detrimental.· Biggest challenges in his coaching business.· Twitter is his most valuable platform· What can people expect from his coaching? Books and ResourcesCan't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds, Book by David Goggins Previous episode with Matthttps://from-adversity-to-abundance.cohostpodcasting.com/episodes/from-fat-and-depressed-to-healthy-and-happy-with-fitness-coach-matt-izzo  Connect with MattTWITTER: https://twitter.com/mattizzoINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/mattizzofitness/YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@mattizzofitness8286 TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@mattizzofitnessis_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Sign up for a free newsletter and get a recipe guide for fat loss.

No one becomes successful overnight. People around us simply seem to work and work. Eventually, they succeed. Consider Brecht Palombo, the man behind the investing weekly #AltReports. In business, he has achieved great success. But his life wasn't a smooth ascent into a trajectory of achievement; rather, it was marked by many twists and turns. Brecht always worked three jobs but was never good with money. He got to the point where he got eviction notices for not paying rent and had a car repossessed when he was 21. He was good at making money but had no idea how to manage it. Brecht then decided to get into real estate. In 2008, his traditional real estate sales went down from $220,000 to $19,000, doing the same amount of work. He had all different kinds of expenses and had tons of debts with no revenue at all for a couple of years. After a year and a half, he had nothing.Quotes:“Instead of just getting up and grinding away the computer every day, I have to be much more deliberate in what I was doing. I would have to only do the things that mattered. That allowed other people to do what they could to run the business, which was a major letting go period for me.” "I haven't been able to get over the feeling that now I have more money than I've ever had before, it could all disappear in a moment. It has never left me.”Books and ResourcesThe 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy FerrissTurnaround Management Association: TMAAmerican Bankruptcy InstituteConnect with BrechtLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brecht/Twitter: https://twitter.com/brechtifyWebsite: https://brechtpalombo.com/Podcast: https://bootstrappedwithkids.com/author/brecht/If you want to know more about #AltReports and the services they offer, you may visit https://altreports.com/Haven Financial:https://www.myfinancialhaven.com/jamiebateman/ATTENTION:Unlock the secrets to a transformative life with “From Adversity to Abundance: Inspiring stories of Mental, Physical and Financial Transformation”.
