Episode 80 | MDV | Should You Score Workouts?
Today Jason and MDV are tackling the argument of scoring workouts. At NCFIT and the NCFIT Collective, we often get questions regarding how to score a workout. Our rebuttal: why worry about the score? Now, we know this can be controversial stance, and we agree there's a time and place for logging workouts, but today the guys address why it is that we've moved away from tracking every rep, weight, and time, and instead focused on body awareness and optimizing each workout. Enjoy!

Episode 79 | Jason Khalipa | Goal Setting, Planning & Accountability
Today's solo cast is short, sweet, and to the point. That said, you're probably going to want to listen to it two or three times to get all of the information out of it. Jason explains some of the best and most effective business practices we've implemented at NCFIT, and shares how to adopt them into your own business. Often times we can get overwhelmed with what to do, how to go about doing it, and executing steps necessary to reach our business goals. With all of the business mentoring programs out there, it's hard to decipher what is helpful and what is just spinning our wheels. In this episode, Jason, provides tangible, daily, weekly, and monthly interventions that can help keep your business on track and growing to it's full potential. At the end of the day, there's no substitution for hard work! We challenge you to adopt one (or more) of these practices for the next 90 days and watch your business transform. Keep rising the tides, team!
