56: Dig Deep Into Your Why
Aram decides to put Jim on the spot and try to role play a coach and onboarding client phone call. Jim is incapable to going through a 30+ minute call in 15 minutes. Jim just wanted to get to the point of digging into your why and completely bombs this role play. The thesis is that no one exercises to lose weight. There is always a deeper reason. You want to lose weight... why? To get healthier. Why? To live longer. Why? To play with my kids. Why? What are you really getting after. Do you want to be viewed differently by people? Why do you value their opinion? Do you want to feel better? Do you feel like you're always letting yourself down and want to change that? Do you want to live the life a "fit" person lives? Go down the rabbit hole for your own good.
