Strength In Context

Schultze and Jorge unpack how self-help culture often turns into identity avoidance: constant “evolution” with no roots, habits without values, and productivity theater over real work. They dig into choosing values first, respecting who you are now, shedding identities that no longer fit, and building urgency without worshipping busy. https://www.instagram.com/brandon.schultze/ https://www.instagram.com/jorgedehoyos_/ FREE Coach's Field Guide: https://www.pre-script.com/coachs-field-guide Join the PSL1 Waitlist Now For Our Only Course Discount. https://www.pre-script.com/psl1 Cold Open (00:00:00) Gym Weird Encounters & Consent 101 (00:00:17) The Coffee Enema Story (00:02:31) The Sketchy Arm-Wrestling “Recruiter” (00:04:45) Pivot: The Self-Help Machine (00:07:07) Who Are You Right Now?

Schultze and Jorge tackle the pitfalls of common coaching cues that hinder client progress. They delve into how vague commands like 'chest up' and 'knees out' can negatively impact biomechanics. The discussion highlights the importance of clarity in communication and the unintended consequences of technical jargon.
