This is Mark Zarate’s (@zaratefitness) 5th appearance on The Lifestyle Chase.  In this episode we talk about the “Look At Me” Guy and the dangers inauthentic behaviours in pursuit of ego, fame, and wealth can play on a community.  We really lean into the value of showing up in ways where you feel comfortable and how getting aligned can help set you up for growth in life.  We talk about the tough love of being able to take care of yourself first before holding other people to taking care of you. We also talk about what 2025 might look like for Mark as a way of reflecting on our habits, the way we see life, and the direction we’re going.  To learn more about Mark, follow him on IG @zaratefitness, go check out his podcast, Cool, Calm, & Chaotic or go to www.zaratefitness.com To learn more about Chris, your host, follow on IG @christianliddle, follow the show @thelifestylechase or go to www.invigoratetraining.com Thanks for checking out the show and we’ll see you for the next one!

This might sound a bit biased but if you’re in the industries that Mike Doehla (@mikedoehla) and I are in, you should listen to this podcast.  This episode truly exemplifies the purpose, vision and values of The Lifestyle Chase. We recorded this about 30 minutes after I received news that my aunt (who was essentially my grandma) passed away the night before. I shared with Mike that I’d maybe seem a bit distant because I wanted him to know what was going on in case I seemed a bit off. I never want people to feel like I don’t value their time or that I’m not engaged in the conversation and he was one of the best people I could have ever recorded with that day.  We talked about how Facebook and Instagram crashed for a day, and what we learned from it. He shared with me the emotions that fatherhood brings him as a new dad. We discussed how meaningful it is to do what you love in life and how he wants nothing more than to see more people enjoy their work and have happy lives.  I’d love it if you shared this one on social media. Tag @mikedoehla, @christianliddle, and @thelifestylechase www.invigoratetraining.com {This episode is dedicated to my Aunt Helen. She loved cats and she had a warm energy that made everyone feel loved. I’ll make her proud one day.} Get full access to Insight by Chris Liddle at chrisliddle.substack.com/subscribe

The full explanation for this solo episode is that I had previously recorded with Will Crozier and the audio didn't record - only video. So him and I will record a brand new episode in the near future. I had pre recorded an episode with Mike Doehla that had already been produced as Episode 204, so to make life easier, I came up with a replacement Episode 203. In this episode I reflect on the last few years and give a detailed run down of some of the things that pay my bills. I say some of the things because I have worked very hard this past year to line up a lot of opportunities so if you know me personally you might see me in more roles than what I mention here on the show. I talk about the importance of enrolling people your goals and knowing your value. It's a bit of a ramble but if you enjoy it, it would mean a lot if you shared it on social media and rated the show on apple podcasts. Thank you so much for checking out the show.

Patrycia (@rzechowka on IG) was first on the show waaaay back on November 29, 2018! It was Episode 15 and life was very different, yet at the same time, not entirely different. Not many people take the time to consider what life would be like for someone with MS. In a time when people are getting upset about their rights and freedoms, they are rarely considering how their actions can put someone like Patrycia in danger.  Patrycia is a champion at reframing situations and putting her best foot forward. We are all allowed to have a bad day, but when we are able to see that life is short and time is precious, attitude matters. I highly encourage everyone to go to Patrycia’s website http://patryciarzechowka.com to learn more about her and definitely go back and listen to Episode 15 as well here. To learn more about your host, Chris Liddle, you can follow along @christianliddle on Instagram or follow the show @thelifestylechase You can also head to www.invigoratetraining.com for all things Chris Liddle Thanks for supporting the show, we’ll see you for the next one!

Wow. First of all, Episode 200. It’s pretty monumental. Please go back through the guests over the last 3 years and give a few more episodes a listen when you’re done this one. Now onto Junil.  Junil Rodriguez (@thejunmethod) is a New York-based trainer with a skillset that stems from years of experience outside the industry. No matter what people say about experience within the industry, your ability to develop a business sense and people skills outside of the fitness industry will give you an edge once you make the leap. The tough part is finding balance. We talked about Junil’s introverted tendencies and how she stays organized for her day. We talked about her big plans and the little things that bring her joy. If you’re wondering about the Cornfield Chase, it’s a Hans Zimmer song which I just added into the title to see if you were paying attention.  If you know Junil you will likely know about a dozen of the other guests on this show and you should definitely check out their episodes too. To help The Lifestyle Chase THRIVE, please go out of your way to leave a nice review and a rating and share it widely with all the people you know.  Thank you so much for listening to or watching the show. Your host, Chris Liddle, can be found @christianliddle on IG or you can follow the show @thelifestylechase. You can also go to www.invigoratetraining.com to learn more about Chris.  We’ll see you for the next one! Get full access to Insight by Chris Liddle at chrisliddle.substack.com/subscribe

She is essentially someone you want to have in your corner.  In this episode we filled in the gaps of a few of the major things that have happened between now and her last appearance and we talked about forming quality connections and being a creative in an evolving world. We talked about the value in practicing and surrounding yourself with people who are better than you. In addition we highlighted the opportunity that building a library of content off of social media provides as well as how underrated Pinterest is.  There is a lot more to Ula than what we had time to talk about so I would encourage you to follow along on Instagram to see where her journey takes her.

This is Derek Stanley’s (@dstanleyfit) debut on The Lifestyle Chase. If your name is Jeb Stuart Johnston, Nick Sorrell, Mike Doehla, Dean Guedo, Andrew Coates or Alex McBrairty, we gave you a shout out. For anyone else, all these beautiful people have been on the show at least once, so take a look back at old episodes to learn more about them.  We talked about how we met in Kansas City, and the impact that doing nice things has on a person. The things we do, where we don’t realize our impact. We went through some of Derek’s changes he’s made to his coaching and his own training and we highlighted a lot of things with regards to habits, routines, and environment. Whether it be finding like minded people, or creating the time necessary to have a restful sleep.  If you want to learn more about Derek, go follow along at @dstanleyfit on IG or head to derekstanleyfitness.com To learn more about your host, Chris Liddle, follow along @christianliddle or follow the show @thelifestylechase.
