Stephen Campolo (@stephencampolo) is an author and online fitness coach specializing in fat loss. He lost over 100lbs himself, and has since been coaching others to do the same. Stephen is a good friend of mine and he’s an incredible source of knowledge, insight and experience when it comes to fat loss. We got really in the weeds discussing the psychology of fat loss, which is arguably the most important thing. Everyone knows more or less what they should do, but why do we struggle to actually do it? Stephen was also very open with his struggles with binge eating which I think a lot of people can relate to and learn from. We also spoke about the weight loss injections (Ozempic/Wegovy/Mounjaro) that are making headlines everywhere. We got into what they are, some experiences with them, who they might be best for and a lot more. It’s worth noting here, neither of us are doctors, so please discuss any medical interventions with a qualified doctor whom you trust. Stephen announced he’s working on a new book projected to be ready early next year as well, so be sure you’re following him to stay tuned for updates and to learn as much as you can from him. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

Derek Mendoza (@findyourprime) is the Founder of Find Your Prime, co-host of the Raise the Bar Fitness & Business Conference, Former S&C Coach of the Seattle Mariners, and an all around incredible person. Get in touch via IG, or click here to download his free 5 Step Framework on how to create your first or next course, program or workshop. I met Derek at the Raise the Bar Event, (I highlighted my experiences in this episode #110) which is an absolutely incredible event that I would highly recommend any fitness coaches to attend next year. This conversation was a perfect extension of the event where we got to expand upon some of the conversations from the weekend, integrate the lessons, and continue to connect and build community. On the surface this episode will be much more relatable to coaches, but building a business and transforming your body are not all that different. Derek speaks a lot about transforming your identity to reach your goals - both in business and in fitness. Listen closely to this episode, there are a lot of nuggets if you pay attention.

Miles Suing (@milesstrength) is a personal trainer and online fitness coach from Toronto, Canada. Miles has gone through all of the phases of evolution of a fitness lover, and understands how to use fitness as a tool to enhance your life. Miles also runs a free Facebook group providing community and support for busy people to make fitness a consistent part of their lives. You can join the group here. I believe that part of being a great fitness coach is using yourself as a bit of a testing ground. Various workout programs, competition, nutrition approaches and everything in between. We can read all the theory we want, but until you actually go do it, you never really know. Miles has done all of the things. Powerlifting, weight gain, weight loss, various diets, you name it. He uses all of this experience and wisdom to coach his clients to make fitness a part of their lifestyle. Meaning, incorporating fitness so that you can do the things that you love to do, rather than incorporating fitness so that you can just get better at fitness. Everyone’s life is pretty busy these days, and that just adds to the complexity. We speak throughout the episode about strategies and methods to include fitness in with everything else you’ve got going on. I think there is a TON of value in this conversation, and one that can help everyone. Be sure to follow Miles on IG, and join the Team Long Game Facebook Group. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

In this episode is everything you need to know about how to get in shape for summer (or any time of year) in a short period of time. I went through the full list of things you need to be doing, in detail in this episode. An important note: I honestly do not recommend you do this. You should be taking care of your health and fitness all year round and “preparing” for next summer, right now. However, I know that many of you won’t and so I figured it’s best to help you do it right. The most important part of this episode is the second half, where I discuss what to do after the 6 week shred - the plan after the plan, if you will. This is where most people mess up, and what leads people to saying “diets don’t work”. I hope you enjoy this episode and learn something valuable. Share this with your pals who are about to start another silly crash diet for summer.

Bryan Fitzsimmons (@coach_fitzz) is an online fat loss coach who specializes in working with mom’s over 40, and host of the Fit40 Podcast. Bryan and I met at an event in Dallas where we connected with many other amazing coaches and thought to keep it rolling with this discussion!Since Bryan specializes in coaching women, we spoke about many of the most common myths that women have surrounding fitness and nutrition. It’s a shame that these myths exist, but they do, so it’s important to regularly have these discussions to spread correct information and set you on the right path with your health and fitness. One of the biggest and possibly more harmful myths is the idea that super low calorie diets are needed to lose weight, and are the only way to do it. This is simply not true, and often causes more harm than good. We discussed this and gave some practical tips as to what you should consider doing instead. Please share this episode with a friend or someone you care about - your own mother would be a great option! Be sure to follow Bryan on IG, check out his free Facebook Group, and listen to the Fit40 Podcast. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

DJ Fox (@dee_jay_fox) is an ultra endurance athlete, coach, and the 2022 World’s Toughest Mudder Champion. He was also invited to compete in the 2023 GORUCK Games, and is constantly seeking new athletic and performance challenges to conquer. DJ left his home and job in New York to move to the mountains in Colorado full time to pursue the life of a professional endurance athlete. And since then, there’s been no turning back. The grit and determination required to be at DJ’s level is matched with his precision and methodology in preparation for such grueling and complicated events. We spoke a lot about what it takes to compete at these events, how he handles his preparation, overcoming the variety of obstacles that come up along the way and the multitude of insights he’s learned from going all in on this dream. The biggest takeaway from this conversation comes near the end of the discussion - a challenge to fully commit to your dreams. Take inspiration from DJ, and go get it. Be sure to follow DJ on IG to keep up (if you can ;)) with everything he’s got going on and for an inside look at his process. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

Kyle Smith (@dapperdudekyle) is a professional life changer and host of The Limitless Life Podcast. Kyle uses fitness and health to change men’s lives through his Dapper Dude Fitlosophy Strategy. Kyle and I are both lovers of philosophy and fitness and all the parallels between the two. This conversation is building off our previous conversation on Kyle’s podcast, which you can watch here. In this episode, we dug into a bit more of Kyle’s story with health and fitness and how it’s impacted his own life. A central theme of this discussion was how to reinvent yourself, and how using fitness as a vehicle for that may be a great option. Just like Kyle used competing in the World’s Toughest Mudder as a way to reinvent himself, hard physical challenge and training may also be a good option for you. Be sure to follow Kyle on IG, Twitter, and YouTube.

Leo Alves (@leoalvespt) is an online weight loss coach and host of The Leo Alves Podcast. Born in the UK and currently living in Portugal, Leo has lived (and trained) all over the world and brings a wealth of experience in the effects of culture and environment on health and fitness. Leo and I went on a journey through his travels and examined the various places he’s lived. We explored the culture of health and fitness in those places (UK, US, Japan, Portugal) and how it impacts the people who live in those places. Every place has pros and cons, and it’s important to be aware of the effects of our environment. This was a fun conversation with a lot of valuable insights into how we live, what we have control over, and how to make the best of what we’ve got. Be sure to follow Leo on IG and Twitter, check out The Leo Alves Podcast, and learn more on his website https://teamkairosonline.com/.The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

In this special edition of the podcast, I collaborated with my friend, John Martirosyan (@jmartfit) and we recorded an episode via his podcast, The State of Health and decided to post it to both feeds. In this episode John and I each went through our personal fitness goals for the year, how we're approaching them, why we have those goals, and bounced some ideas off of each other. The goal of this episode is twofold: 1) Publicly share our goals, for accountability. 2) Give insight into how we are each approaching very different goals, and hopefully offer some tactics and strategies that you can also use for your own goals. Always take the individual approach, but use the lessons from this conversation to guide your thinking, or your questions. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.
