Lee Brenon on Commitment, Long Term Relationships, Dog Ownership and Walking
Lee and I have been bonding on Instagram over his many Canadian-isms as I call them. It was his appreciate for Zellers that sparked things into action for us to schedule this podcast. Lee is a coach based out of Buffalo, New York. He's a husband, dog owner and walking enthusiast. We talk about how he lost 100 lbs, was vegan for a period of time and his love of video games and how he's found a new way to show up in his life.

Chris Liddle on Taking Initiative, Taking Risks, and Going for It
Throughout the course of The Lifestyle Chase, this has likely been the least frequent I’ve ever published episodes for the show.So I wanted to release this short and sweet solo episode to explain a little bit of the “behind the scenes”.In short, I’ve been working really hard for the entirety of 2022 and have no plans to slow down the momentum.Some of my priorities will shift towards making time for connecting with friends and family rather than hustling for the next client or trying to cover a bill.With that said, if you listen to this episode, and want to work with me, head to www.invigoratetraining.com or connect with me on IG https://www.instagram.com/christianliddle/.My hope is that as you listen to my progress over the years, it will give you insight that it’s not all sunshine and rainbows for podcast hosts, but that sticking to something long term will inevitably set you apart and it will pay off.To give the show a BOOST on the chart, please leave 5 stars on the Spotify app, rate 5 stars and leave a review on the Apple Podcast app, and share this episode in your IG story on social media.Thanks for listening and we will catch you for the next one!

Mark Zarate on Flashback to April 2020 and Moving Forward
Mark has made many appearances on the show and in this one we actually did some post production magic.In 2020, some might remember I was doing daily episode of “Real Talk by The Lifestyle Chase”.Every day of the week, I uploaded a 12 minute short episode that would give people guidance or entertainment or insight for their day. This was inspired by podcasts I’d listen to that helped me reframe situations and helped inspire me.When it came time to record for April 4, I was out of energy. Tapped out. I felt defeated because gyms had been closed and I didn’t know what was in store for me in the time to come. That’s where Mark stepped in. Tune in to not only hear our conversation about Mark’s travelling and visiting and life experiences but to also get a snapshot of life in 2020.I highly recommend you follow Mark at all of these places:* Website* Instagram* Twitter* Facebook* YouTubeTo stay connected with me, please subscribe to The Lifestyle Chase on YouTube:The Lifestyle Chase YouTubeOr head to my websiteWebsiteOr follow me on IG@christianliddle@thelifestylechase Get full access to Insight by Chris Liddle at chrisliddle.substack.com/subscribe
