Jeff Nippard - Science Lifters Are Under Attack!
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. 🤔 EP063 - Is a science-based approach to lifting all it’s cut out to be or is it just the latest fad, and is there an alternative approach that might be better for getting the results that you really want? As a Trainer, am I guiltier than 99% of the population when it comes to switching between real-science, bro-science, and no-science with myself and my clients. Why? Because at the end of the day, we’re all right and we’re all wrong at the same time. The only truth there is is that there is no one thing that works for everyone all the time. Actually…that’s a lie. There is one thing that works for everyone all the time - finding what works for you . In his book Essentialism - The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, Greg McKeown writes the following: ”The best journalists do not simply relay information. Their value is in discovering what really matters to people. Being a journalist of your own life will force you to stop hyper focussing on all the minor details and see the bigger picture.” Achieving bigger goals means we must first focus on the bigger picture, which means taking a VALUE-BASED, not a science-based approach to health and fitness.

MINDPUMP Podcast EP 2488: You’re Not Building Muscle, This Is WHY!
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. 🤔 EP062 - If you’ve plateaued when it comes to your strength or muscle gains, what is the counter-intuitive mindset shift you MUST make before your next workout so that you don’t stay stuck in a perpetual plateau? “ Working hard is important. But more effort does not necessarily yield more results. “Less but better“ does. - Greg McKeown The idea that a workout needs to kill you to be effective is one that is deeply ingrained in health and fitness culture. Whether it’s CrossFit, HIIT, or even standard strength training with The Big Three, progressive overload is a principle that unfortunately is often injected with steroids. As a result, I’ve seen it do more harm than good throughout my years as a Trainer. But what if doing less , not more, is the answer to breaking through a plateau and promoting progress? 👉🏾 Feel free to hit me up on IG and let me know if you need a spot. 👊🏾 Until next time, we got this!

The Hard Truth About Weight Loss You Probably Don’t Want to Hear
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. 🤔 EP061 - If you are looking to make 2025 THE year when it comes to your health and your fitness, but you’ve made that promise before only to NOT follow through on it, what is the glaringly obvious truth that most people don’t want to but NEED to hear as to why they struggle to reach their health and fitness goals? When they set out on their health and fitness journey, most people enlist the help of others as studies clearly show that when you involve others in your pursuit of goals, your likelihood of success goes up. Or does it? In his book The War of Art, Steven Pressfield had this to say about seeking support from others: “Seeking support from friends and family is like having your people gathered around you at your deathbed. It’s nice, but when the ship sails, all they can do is stand on the dock waving goodbye. Any support we get from persons of flesh and blood is like Monopoly money; it’s not legal tender in that sphere where we have to do our work. In fact, the more energy we spend stocking up on support from colleagues and loved ones, the weaker we become and the less capable of handling our business.” If you’re hoping that by enlisting the support of a gym buddy or even a coach like myself, I’ve got some news that you may not want to hear - as soon as your gym buddy or coach steps out of the picture, it won’t be long before the success you’ve achieved disappears because you’ve been ignoring the real issue the entire time. 🤝 Help a Brotha Out !

Why Weight Loss Is Not About Motivation, Willpower, or Self-Discipline
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. 🤔 EP060 - If you’re one of the millions of people who ride the rollercoaster of losing weight only to regain it and then some, what do you do when you’re running low on motivation, willpower, and self-discipline so that you can still be consistent with your diet and training so that you don’t end up regaining all the weight you worked so hard to lose? “Money, success, fame…all of that is irrelevant. What matters is how you think about yourself when you’re by yourself.” - Tom Bilyueu 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we be crushing our PHYSICAL Health & Fitness. We all want to be in better shape. Whether that’s losing weight, building muscle, or total body recomposition, one thing is certain - consistency and commitment are the king and queen of it all. Most of us blame what I call the trifecta of trouble - a lack of motivation, willpower, and self-discipline - as to why we lack consistency and commitment. But as Stan Efferding put very bluntly, “If you lack motivation, I can help you with that. That’s your problem to solve.” Before we jump into the busiest time of year for every gym around the world, I think it’s time we re-think what really keeps us from keeping our promises to ourselves and staying consistent with our commitments so that when the trifecta of trouble kicks in, we have a solid solution for our New Year’s Resolutions. 🤝 Help a Brotha Out !

Morgan 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we be crushing our PURPOSE Health & Fitness. In the gym, we often focus on the external results we want to accomplish. Losing weight, building muscle, getting shredded, hitting new PRs with our lifts. All of those are great, but they all represent half of the equation. If you’re in the entrepreneurial game like I am, and you’re struggling to make the kind of money you want to like I am, remember that there are two reasons you got into this game; the good reason (make more money), and the real reason.

Named Must Your FEAR Be Before Banish It You Can
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. 🤔 EP058 - If there is a source of recurring pain in your life that you have been avoiding - perhaps to the point where you’ve become numb or even blind to it, what is the first step we must take to overcome our fears, enabling us to step up instead of shrinking and surrendering into the shadows of fear? “We read a bunch of books nowadays. As humans, we want to find out how to be someone else. What we don’t do is we don’t go inside. We’re writing a book every day of our lives, but we never read that book.” - David Goggins 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we be crushing our EMOTIONAL Health & Fitness. Breakdown or breakthrough - I talk about this repeatedly in my classes. That moment in a set where you’re not sure if you can keep going, and you have a choice to make. Do you listen to the piece of shit voice in your head that says it’s too hard or do you listen to the other voice in your head that knows you can do one more rep or at the very least try? One of the men I respect most in my life, Mr. Philip Pape over at the Wits & Weights podcast once said, “When I talk about skepticism it’s not just questioning everything that comes AT you it’s questioning everything that comes FROM you - meaning we all have long-held beliefs, and they may be incorrect.” Confronting our fears is not easy, but it is necessary if growth is what you’re after. All fear begins with the story that generated it. If you want to overcome your fears, start by re-writing the stories that created them in the first place. 🤝 Help a Brotha Out !

FACT - Hitting a plateau in the gym is inevitable. We all know that. But what about when you plateau in everyday life? Noah Kagan said, “Everyone plateaus.

The Entrepreneur's Journey - Purpose Vs Profit: Which Should You Pursue?
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. 🤔 EP055 - If you’re an entrepreneurial-minded individual with more ideas than you have time to work on - all of which are going to change the world, of course - what do you do when you’ve got two or more business ideas that you really want to pursue but you keep going back and forth about which one to commit to because you’re either scared of making the wrong choice or you just don’t know which one is the best choice? “If you can tune into your purpose and really align with it, setting goals so that your vision is an expression of that purpose, then life flows much more easily.” - Jack Canfield 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we be crushing our PURPOSE Health & Fitness. FACT - It really sucks that both the health and fitness industry and the self-improvement industry continue to push this idea that success can happen virtually overnight. Even those who preach that there are no quick fixes contradict themselves by sharing ‘before and after’ stories of clients who have achieved amazing success in as little as a few months. One thing I come back to over and over again is that you’ll never get the right answers if you keep asking the wrong questions. As entrepreneurial-minded individuals, asking ourselves which idea will make the most money or which one is the “best idea” is the wrong question to be asking, one that will have you going around in circles for years or decades if you don’t start asking and answering the right questions. 🤝 Help a Brotha Out !

As humans, we want to find out how to be someone else. What we don’t do is we don’t go inside. We’re writing a book every day of our lives, but we never read that book.” - David Goggins 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we be crushing our EMOTIONAL Health & Fitness. FACT - It never ceases to amaze me how we think that simply knowing what to do is the answer to our problems both inside and outside of the gym. But as Derek Sivers once said, “If more information were the answer then we’d all be billionaires with perfect abs.” A lot of us claim that it’s fear that is holding us prisoner - whatever version it happens to be. But blaming fear for our inaction is like blaming our metabolism for our lack of weight loss. There may be some truth to it, but at the end of the day, if you don’t find your way out of those handcuffs you’ll remain a prisoner to fear for the rest of your life. 🤝 Help a Brotha Out !

FACT - Every January, millions of people all over the world set a New Year’s resolution to lose weight. They want to start working out more and eating better so that they can look, feel, and perform their best. They tell themselves, “This is going to be the year!”. Well, I’ve got news for you. No, it’s not. And you know why? Because you’re using the same fucking bullshit strategy you have every year that has failed you every year. Unless you want to join the 70% percent of divorces that are initiated by women, it’s probably time to start looking for new ways of putting out the fires in your relationship instead of throwing gasoline on them because you simply don’t know what the fuck to do when you’re wife or partner is losing her shit. 🤝 Help a Brotha Out !

FACT - One thing that breaks my heart as much as anything is seeing members in the gym that I haven’t seen for months or years who have totally fallen off the wagon. They’ve put on a ton of weight, and when I talk to them the shame they feel is palpable. What sucks even more is that when I hear them say, “I just need to do better.”, a part of me dies inside because I know that like most people, they’re going to continue to fail because they haven’t yet realized that they are not the problem. They keep failing because they keep using the same approach, and we all know the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. 🤝 Help a Brotha Out !

It is a system to improve, an endless process to refine.” - James Clear 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we be crushing our PURPOSE Health & Fitness. FACT - One of the things that really sucks about losing weight is the longer you wait to do it the harder it is to get started. On top of that, there’s the obvious downfall of the amount of weight you put on increasing in proportion to the time you waste deciding to take action. When it comes to getting our message out there and doing what we love not only for profit but just as importantly for Purpose, the same rule applies. The longer you put shit off out of fear of failure the more your failure compounds, and one day you’ll wake up and realize that the work you have to do is substantially more than the work you should have done. 🤝 Help a Brotha Out !

FACT - There is one thing that drives me crazier than anything when I am teaching a group fitness class - when people refuse to listen to my instructions. Specifically, I have people who need to be dialing shit down but they refuse to listen, insist on playing at an intensity level way beyond what they are capable of only to quit early on the workout, or even worse, complain that it was too hard and never come back. Both inside and outside of the gym, unless and until we are honest with ourselves about where we’re at, when we need to dial it up and when we need to dial it back, and most importantly when we need help doing both, we're going to remain stranded on the lonely island of desperation wondering how the fuck we are ever going to get home to the truth of who we are. 🤝 Help a Brotha Out !

FACT - As a Trainer, I can whole-heartedly attest to the fact that the majority of people who fail to lose weight will insist that what they are doing in terms of fitness and nutrition isn’t working when we all know what the real problem is. The real problem isn't the diet or the training program. It’s the individual’s unwillingness to see the facts and accept the truth that THEY are the problem, not the diet or workout program. The same goes for relationships. I have made the mistake of thinking that my partner - her moods, her behavior, her emotional rollercoasters - are the reasons why I cheated or why it didn’t work out. At the end of the day, there are truths we need to accept as individuals and as men, not the least of which is that if we want anything to change, that change begins with us and what we tell ourselves about the challenges we face in our relationship. 🤝 Help a Brotha Out !

I am, of course, speaking of your level of EMOTIONAL Health & Fitness. “When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion.” - Dale Carnegie 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we be crushing our EMOTIONAL Health & Fitness. FACT - I cannot tell you how much it breaks my heart that the world ignores how important emotional health and fitness are. I can’t tell you the amount of harm I have caused to others and myself that, after careful examination with the help of professionals much smarter than me, could have been avoided if only I had the awareness, the tools, and the support to improve my level of emotional health and fitness. Men especially are guilty of skipping over emotion and going straight for logic. While this has proven over and over again to be a recipe for disaster in romantic relationships, the damage that stems from a lack of emotional health and fitness is most destructive in the relationship a man has with himself, for it is that relationship that determines the quality of everything in our lives 👉🏾 Feel free to hit me up on IG and let me know if you need a spot. 👊🏾 Until next time, we got this!

I’m talking about the man who can’t get it up when it comes to having something he is working towards that is bigger than himself.

Kennedy 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we be crushing our PHYSICAL Health & Fitness. FACT - If awareness is the first step towards improving every area of our lives, what are the key components of awareness? Truth and transparency. One of my favorite quotes of all time is from Richard Feynman who said this: “The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.” Regular review reflection will lead us to a crossroads, one where we have a choice to continue on the path we are currently on or choose another. Without regular review and reflection, we are traveling in the dark, not knowing the direction we are headed or where we’ll end up. I don’t know about you, but when I wake up in the morning and reflect on the life I have lived and the life I am living, I want to not only be crystal fucking clear on where I am headed, but crystal fucking clear that the path I am on is going to take me exactly where I want to go. 👉🏾 Feel free to hit me up on IG and let me know if you need a spot. 👊🏾 Until next time, we got this!

FACT - We all know that building a strong, healthy body requires two key ingredients: what you feed your body and how you move your body. Relationships are no different. The words you say and the actions you take will determine how strong or weak your relationship is. I don’t know about you, but whether it’s the strength of my body or the strength of my relationships, putting in the work to make sure I’m doing what it takes to have both be as strong as possible is some of the most important work we will ever do. 👉🏾 Feel free to hit me up on IG and let me know if you need a spot. 👊🏾 Until next time, we got this!

INTERVIEW - What Can We Do to Stop the Destructive Decline of Men?
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. 🤔 Since men continue to fall behind, slip through cracks, and be demonized in some of the most damaging ways imaginable, what do we need to do on an individual, cultural, and global level to help raise men back up before it’s too late? “It is in the power of every individual to do that which the community as a whole is powerless to effect.” - William Thomas Stead 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we be crushing a hardcore compound lift of Relationship, Emotional, and Purpose Health & Fitness. Believe me when I say I know how hard it can be to find a good brother you can trust - someone you can be all of yourself with, someone who you can trust will be all of themselves with you, and someone who is willing to go to battle with you in the most intimate and life-changing ways. But as one of my dearest Brothers DP once said, “Good people are hard to find, but they shouldn’t be because they’re everywhere.” I would alter that slightly to say good men are hard to find but they shouldn’t be because they’re everywhere. What I would suggest is rather than trying to find good men to be around - men you can trust, rely on, and be inspired by - the best way to find those men is to become that man yourself and see who is willing and ready to follow. 🤝 Help a Brotha Out !

Why Losing Weight Is Always A Losing Battle
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best?

If striving to hit your ideal weight is hindering your progress more than it is helping, what is an alternative metric to measure if the scale just ain’t cuttin’ it for you? “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it’s time to pause and reflect.” - Mark Twain 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we be crushing our PHYSICAL Health & Fitness. FACT - You know that learning toy we all played with as kids that had different shapes and we had to fit the right shapes in the right holes? It’s funny to me that kids who can barely speak can figure that out, yet the most educated people on the planet in the health and fitness world still haven’t figured out that using weight as a metric for health is like trying to fit the square peg in the round hole.

FACT - Most people who workout have their one or two favorite exercises or even complete workouts - those ones we always look forward to, and help us get our ass to the gym when we don’t feel like going.

The Key to Healing Deep Emotional Wounds

Suffering is optional” - how the fuck do you even begin to go about doing it? " When a deep injury is done to us, we never recover until we forgive.” - Alan Paton 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we be crushing our EMOTIONAL Health & Fitness. FACT - Emotional pain is, in my experience, one of the worst forms of pain there is. It’s not like in the gym where you feel amazing a few seconds after the burn from a solid set goes away. Emotional pain lingers, and if we’re not careful, it can turn into emotional injuries and emotional scars that last for years or even a lifetime. As with physical pain, if we ignore it long enough it soon turns into an injury. Emotional pain is no different. When we ignore it or refuse to treat it, it soon turns into suffering, which is a lot harder to recover from. 🤝 Help a Brotha Out !

FACT - Romantic relationships are one of the best representations of training partners in the gym. When both partners are pushing and encouraging the other, new levels of strength and breaking through plateaus are inevitable. But when just one partner doesn’t feel like pushing themselves or the other, the workout suffers and nobody gets stronger. 🤝 Help a Brotha Out !

The ones who win get inside their players and motivate.” - Vince Lombardi 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we be crushing our PHYSICAL Health & Fitness. FACT - There is absolutely no getting around the snake-oil salesmen of the world, and few places are there more of them slithering around in the weeds than in the health and fitness industry. However, not all bad advice comes from bad people.

It is a system to improve, an endless process to refine.” - James Clear 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we be crushing our PURPOSE Health & Fitness. FACT - One of the things I preach as much as anything is that when it comes to deciding on what to measure in the gym, the answer should always be progress. Not only is progress one of the best forms of motivation, but it’s also the only one that technically has no limit. It was Arthur C. Clarke who said, “The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible. ” Joy doesn’t come from proving what’s possible. It comes from the synchronistic dance of proving the impossible possible only to once again strive for the next impossible possibility. 🤝 Help a Brotha Out !

FACT - Accepting emotional pain may be one of the hardest and most evolutionarily counter-intuitive journeys we will ever embark on. I always say that if you keep asking the wrong questions you’ll never get the right answers. We shouldn’t be asking ourselves how do we fight through pain. True strength comes from learning how to fight with pain, and that won’t happen until we realize that our pain is here to help us, not hurt us. 🤝 Help a Brotha Out !

It’s arguably the most important ingredient as all efforts not supplemented with this Vitamin C are usually rendered useless or, at best, short-lived.

FACT - We are emotional beings. There is no denying that. But there is an inherent problem with this - emotions are chemically driven, which means we can achieve what we want emotionally without ever achieving what we want physically.

FACT - There is absolutely no debate on my end that if you want to get stronger in the gym and test your real potential, one of the best ways to do that is by training with a partner or a group. While there is no question that you can’t put a price tag on connecting with other men who share the same struggles as you, sharing your struggles and overcoming your struggles are two very different things, and the former often gets confused with being synonyms with the latter. 👉🏾 Do You Want to MMU ?

FACT - I’ve noticed that one of the things that separates a good workout from a GREAT workout is the mindset I have before and during my sets because my mindset affects the emotional strength and stamina I have to push myself. My physical strength and stamina are fuelled by my emotions. Who among us does not act based on emotion most of the time? If this is the case, aligning our behaviors with who we know ourselves to be - with our Truth - is then a matter of learning to be both the student and the master of our emotions. This is the only way we can tame and ultimately defeat the emotional demons whose job it is to both pull us down while simultaneously push us to new heights. 👉🏾 Do You Want to MMU ?

EP033 - If shame is the darkest demon we will ever have to battle as men, what can we do to keep that motherfucker from pulling us down and holding us back from stepping into the truth of Who We Are? “Pain shared is pain divided. Success shared is success multiplied.” - Coach Sam Falsafi, Wake Up Warrior In today’s PodWod, we be crushing our RELATIONSHIP Health & Fitness. Inside the gym, pain is pain. The pain I feel from doing Burpees is the same pain you feel. So then how come I love them while most people hate them? Am I crazy or is the rest of the world missing something? A little bit of both, I’d say. Anyone consistent in the fitness game knows that the sooner you develop a healthy relationship with pain, the better. Outside the gym, how we perceive pain and whether we invite it or reject it will determine how strong or how weak we become, and is there any greater or more consistent source of pain than shame? 👉🏾 Do You Want to MMU ?

How to Stay Fit In A World That Wants You to Be Fat
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. 🤔 EP032 - How do you make progress in a world that is designed to hold you back? “When we repeat 1 percent errors, day after day, by replicating poor decisions, duplicating tiny mistakes, and rationalizing little excuses, our small choices compound into toxic results.” - James Clear 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we be crushing our PHYSICAL Health & Fitness. FACT - Just like in the gym, every rep counts. When you cheat your way through a set we all know that the only person you’re cheating is yourself. I see it all the time with partial reps (when they’re not intentional), shitty form, and rushed tempo (especially eccentric). The problem lies not in any one rep but when cheating your way through your sets becomes the norm. Both in the gym and life, cheating always catches up to you, so while it may seem like a good decision in the moment, down the road we all inevitably have to face the consequences. 👉🏾 Do You Want to MMU ?

FACT - Pain is a part of life. Period. Some of us experience pain more frequently and more deeply than others. It’s not the pain that hurts us. Pain is natural. It’s our relationship with pain. It’s how you respond to it and treat it once it shows up at your door. Are you treating it like a welcomed guest or an unwelcome intruder?

At the same time, I would argue two things: 1 - Most of us gave up on our dreams so long ago so we’ve simply forgotten about what we envisioned for our lives 2 - We’ve convinced ourselves that the life we are living is good enough Either way, we once had a vision of what our lives COULD be and the reality we are living in is a very far cry from that vision. 🎙️In today's podcast, I’m going to go off a little bit for sure as I dive into a fundamental flaw we make as humans that keeps us from living the life we envision for ourselves and the people we love. 👉🏾 Do You Want to MMU ?

They dramatically impact the quality of our relationships and therefore the quality of our lives.

Did you know that 70% of divorces are initiated by women? This doesn’t account for the men who stay in marriages for the kids or simply because they believe it’s less painful than starting over. As for male friendships, did you know that 40% of men have never confided in another Brother about their mental health issues, which may help explain why suicide is the leading cause of death for men under the age of 50? 🎙️ In today's podcast, my dear Brother and fellow podcaster Marc Paisant is going to be our inspiration as he unknowingly identifies what makes him an amazing husband, father, friend, and human being with one simple habit that most of us overlook and undervalue. 👉🏾 Do You Want to MMU ?

Why Self-Improvement and Health & Fitness Are Horrible Investments
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. 🤬 WTFU 004 - Would you invest in a stock that over the past several decades has yielded returns of zero percent or worse for 80-92% of its investors? This may sound like a rhetorical question to which the answer is an obvious ‘HELL NO!’, yet millions of people are throwing away trillions of dollars annually into this exact type of investment. FACT - Studies suggest that approximately 80-85 percent of people with the goal to lose weight who successfully achieve their goal end up putting all the weight right back on in the long term, while a ridiculous 92% of people fail to reach their goals attached to life beyond the gym and the kitchen. 🎙️ In today's edition of WTFU Wednesdays, we’re going to uncover one of the primary reasons investing in traditional self-improvement and health & fitness advice is a proven losing strategy for the vast majority of people, but perhaps even more importantly discover an alternative investment principle that has proven to yield incredible long-term results for anyone who gets in early enough 👉🏾 Do You Want to MMU ?

What Does Every Man Need Even More Than Respect?
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. 🤔 EP013 - If a huge part of being a man is knowing and ultimately fulfilling your purpose, wouldn’t it be wise to stop and check to see if the path you’re on is taking you in the right direction? FACT - Most people fail to fulfill their most meaningful purpose. But it’s not always due to a lack of effort, discipline, or knowledge. More often than not it’s due to a lack of clarity - clarity on what their most meaningful purpose is and what stands in the way of fulfilling it. 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we’re gonna be getting a mini masterclass on what it means to have clarity of purpose as a man and the principal steps we must all take in pursuit of our purpose. Here are the four questions that are going to help us do that today: 💪🏾 PodPump#1 - If feeling confident as a man means having clarity of purpose and direction in our lives, when was the last time you stopped on the side of the road that is your life journey to evaluate whether or not you are confidently headed in the right direction towards the fulfillment of your purpose? (8:34) 💪🏾 PodPump#2 - Have you ever taken the time to sit down and determine your most important values in life and evaluate whether or not the purpose you are pursuing and therefore the actions in which you invest your limited time align with those values? (14:08) 💪🏾 PodPump#3 - Have you ever identified the different orchestra sections and members in the symphony that is your life purpose and stopped to listen for how in sync they are and the degree of harmony with which they play? (23:49) 💪🏾 PodPump#4 - Have you ever taken the time to evaluate the quantity and quality of purpose-driven men in your life and assessed whether or not the men in your life are supporting you in becoming more proficient and profitable in your pursuit of purpose?

4 Warning Signs That A Man Is On Track for An Emotional Breakdown
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. 🤔 EP012 - Would you want to know if you were headed down the road toward a major breakdown because of anxiety, stress, or depression before it’s too late? FACT - Like a physical disease, a mental disease isn’t something that just happens overnight. Rarely do we just have a breakdown out of nowhere as opposed to it being something that, if we simply paid attention to the warning signs, we would not only be able to predict but more importantly prevent. 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we’re gonna be stepping on the scale and taking a good hard honest look in the mirror of our mind in hopes of identifying the warning signs and ultimately preventing mental disease from overtaking us. Here are the four questions we’re going to be considering today: 💪🏾 PodPump#1 - Would you want to know if your partner was cheating on you, and what impact would it have on your relationship? Now replace your partner with yourself and your relationship with your mental health. Are you pretending that everything is ok by lying to yourself about the facts of your life and who you are as a man? (6:22) 💪🏾 PodPump#2 - Have you ever considered the relationship between your pant size and how your body looks, feels, and performs to your ability to manage stress, anxiety, and depression, and that your body is very much a reflection of your mind? (14:15) 💪🏾 PodPump#3 - Are top performers truly happy or do they simply use work as a means through which they can avoid dealing with deep-rooted anxiety that will eventually cause them to break down? (22:37) 💪🏾 PodPump#4 - How effective is the strategy of ‘This, too, shall pass’ when it comes to our negative emotions and are there unintended negative consequences of using laughter or sarcasm to mask our real feelings?

The Disturbing Dad Bod - Who’s to Blame and What Are We Gonna Do About It?
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. 🤬 WTFU 003 - Do men not give a shit about their physical health and fitness or is there something more to it than that? FACT - Most men are fat and out of shape. But is it as simple as saying we don’t care or lack self-discipline and willpower? While there is certainly an argument to be made for those factors, I would take a HARD stance on the fact that the Health & Fitness Industry is where the majority of the fault is to be placed. 🎙️ In today's edition of WTFU Wednesdays, we’re turning back to Mike Millner and his words of wisdom on the Wits & Weights podcast to find out what the turning point was for him that allowed him to transform his physique (and stay jacked!) so that we can ditch the ‘Dad Bods’ once and for all. 👉🏾 Do You Want to MMU ?

What Does It Mean to Be A Man’s Man?
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. 🤔 EP011 - What kind of a man are you? While a seemingly rhetorical question, this is one that will ultimately determine the quality of your relationships, and therefore the quality of your life. FACT - Masculinity has never been so ambiguous as it is today, which means it’s getting harder and harder for men themselves to define what it means to ‘be a man’. Terms like ‘be the man’ or ‘man up’ are tossed around all the time when nobody seems to have taken the time to clearly define what doing those things entails. 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we’re going back into RELATIONSHIP Health & Fitness and answering four very simple yet powerful questions: 💪🏾 PodPump#1 - Are you a sofa friend or a treadmill friend, and what does the answer to that question tell you about the kind of man that you are? (3:52) 💪🏾 PodPump#2 - What is one non-negotiable aspect of manhood and being an example for the men around you that is usually overlooked and renders men impotent pawns in a world that seems to demonize true masculinity? (12:15) 💪🏾 PodPump#3 - How the hell do we make friends as adult men? Seriously…where do we go to find men we can interact with and once we do, how the hell do we go from simply interacting to actually connecting? (25:03) 💪🏾 PodPump#4 - With everyone pointing to the Goggins’ or the Jockos of the world for examples of what a ‘real man’ is, are there equally as good (perhaps even better) examples of good men we can look to as role models right in our own backyards?

4 Mistakes Nobody In the Health & Fitness Industry Is Talking About
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. 🤔 EP010 - Do you value your PHYSICAL Health & Fitness? Ask most men this question and they’ll answer in the affirmative. Most if not all will even tell you why they value it. But if actions speak louder than words, and our collective actions can be expressed through some pretty depressing stats in terms of obesity, life expectancy, and the leading causes of death being preventable, do we as men appreciate the very real-world and immediate impacts of either prioritizing or neglecting our Physical Health & Fitness? 🗣️ “I would say that the mental frame had to come first before the physical frame could follow. I think the problem with energy balance (cals in/cals out) and that conversation.. it really does present things through a short-term lens, and I don’t think that there’s ever the context of like what’s the forever plan?” - Mike Millner 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we're tackling what some would very easily argue is the most important pillar of a happy life - our Physical Health & Fitness - as without our health we’re not able to enjoy any of the other beauties life has to offer us. 💪🏾 PodPump#1 - What is a "self-trust bank account" and what impact does it have on the quality of your Physical Health & Fitness? (7:12) 💪🏾 PodPump#2 - What is the most powerful tool in our toolkit that is the first step to mastering consistency both in the gym and the kitchen? (14:55) 💪🏾 PodPump#3 - Which comes first when it comes to improving your Physical Health & Fitness...mindset or movement? (23:09) 💪🏾 PodPump#4 - What is a hard truth most men fail to realize when it comes to what their Physical Health & Fitness says to their partner, the world, and themsleves?

WTFU Wednesdays: Why “Follow Your Passion” Is Horrible Advice
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. 🤔 WTFU 002 - Is following your passion really the best advice for people who want to live their dream life? 🗣️ “What determines your success isn’t, “What do you want to enjoy?” The relevant question is, “What pain do you want to sustain?” The path to happiness is full of shit-heaps and shame." - Mark Mason, The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck FACT - The ‘follow your passion’ gurus out there, while mostly well-meaning - are full of shit. Passion isn’t something you find, it’s something you consciously cultivate based on what you value, what you’re particularly good at, and what serves a need in the world. 🎙️ In today's edition of WTFU Wednesdays, I’m going to bring some realism to the romantic but ridiculous notion that everyone should ‘follow their passion’, and help you save years of frustration and heartache so you can develop rather than discover your true passion and purpose in life. 🤬 WARNING - I'm working at toning down the f-bombs in the regular episodes of The MMU Podcast so WTFU Wednesdays is my chance to let loose.

Thinking About Starting Your Own Business? Think Again!
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. 🤔 EP009 - Is there a not-so-sunny side of being your own boss aka an entrepreneur that few successful entrepreneurs (and especially wantrepreneurs) spend any real amount of time talking about? Is it really all sunshine and rainbows when you finally ‘find your purpose’ and pursue your passion’ or is there a buffet of shit sandwiches that you best develop an affinity for? 🗣️ “Who you are is defined by what you’re willing to struggle for. “What PAIN do you want in your life? What are you willing to struggle for?” Because that seems to be a greater determinant of how our lives turn out.” - Mark Manson FACT - Being your own boss and doing what you love is not even remotely what it’s cracked up to be. Additionally, it’s way harder to achieve even a modicum of success, which is why the vast majority of people who set out on this journey end up failing miserably. Not because they lack discipline, willpower, or even the know-how. It’s because they had no fucking clue what they were getting themselves into. 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we're jumping into PURPOSE Health & Fitness, and since we as men are often defined by what we do and the contributions we make, I thought it fitting for us to strip down, look in the metaphorical mirror inside our minds so that we can make an honest assessment about how close we are to discovering, defining, and declaring our one true purpose. 💪🏾 PodPump#1 - How do you become the David Goggins of pain so you can strengthen your body and your sense of purpose? (6:45) 💪🏾 PodPump#2 - What is one question every man needs to ask himself if he ever hopes to avoid dying with the best still inside him? (15:03) 💪🏾 PodPump#3 - What makes most internet business gurus full of shit and what aren't they telling you that leads the majority of men to fail when they finally dive into the ocean of entrepreneurship? (24:05) 💪🏾 PodPump#4 - What is the number one rule of Fight Club? That has nothing to do with this but what is the number one rule when it comes to finding and fulfilling your purpose?

Why Are Men So Emotionally F*cked Up?

Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. 🤔 EP008 - Are we completely clueless when it comes to happiness and suffering? Has what we’ve been taught about how to achieve happiness and reduce suffering led us to shitting the bed with both of those things? 🗣️ “We are more connected than ever, yet loneliness is at an all-time high.” - Mark Manson FACT - Happiness and suffering are two sides of the same coin, and you cannot have one without the other. But if you don’t know what brings genuine happiness or how to interpret genuine suffering, your life will have very little of the former and far too much of the latter. 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we're stepping on the Emotional Health & Fitness scale to see how much muscle in the form of happiness we’re building versus the amount of fat in the form of suffering we need to shed. 💪🏾 PodPump#1 - What do most men get wrong about suffering that is keeping them from finding and fulfilling their purpose in life? (6:41) 💪🏾 PodPump#2 - What is the first mistake men make that leads them down the path towards failure, stress, anxiety, and depression that is easily overcome if you know what to look for? (15:01) 💪🏾 PodPump#3 - WARNING - This one might sting! What is a truth staring most men right in the face that keeps them stuck in suffering that, if finally admitted, is the key to breaking free from the self-imposed prison of the mind we can get trapped in? (24:01) 💪🏾 PodPump#4 - How is what most men are taught about the problems we face and how to solve them perpetuating the painful problems we have instead of helping us overcome them?

But who is to blame for those challenges? Does it ever really boil down to your wife being a bitch or you being an insensitive prick, or is it a little more nuanced than that? 🎙️ In today's (and the very first) edition of WTFU (Wake the Fuck UP!)

How Do You MMU? How to Muscle-Up Every Area of Your Life
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. EP001 - "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems." - James Clear, Atomic Habits 🤔 Did you know that June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month? ⚠️ FACT: Most men live lives of quiet desperation not because they don't have the potential to be better, but rather because the system they have for tapping into that potential is shit or non-existent. 😔 And when you can't tap into your potential, guess what happens to your mental health? I can tell you from first-hand experience that it's not pretty. You feel alone, doubt yourself, can't connect with the people you love, and begin to lose what little hope you have of turning things around. 🎙️ In today's episode, we take the first step to Muscle-Up our mental health and fitness with our very first PodWod (Podcast Workout of the Day), which outlines how to easily build one of the best habits I've developed for overcoming procrastination and ending Mental Masturbation. The best part is that today's PodWod will only take 1-2 minutes. 🎧 Stay tuned for EP002 of the MMU Podcast as we launch into Part I of the 5-part MMU Bootcamp dedicated to June's focus on Men's Mental Health Awareness, The Very Real-World Consequences of Mental Masturbation. 👉🏾 Remember to subscribe and take a minute to rate and review so we can get the word out and help more of our Brothers Muscle-Up their lives. 👊🏾 Shout-Out to our Trainer of the Day: The Masked Masculinity Channel on YouTube James Clear , author of Atomic Habits 👊🏾 We got this!

Welcome to the Mental Muscle-Up Podcast: How to Muscle-Up Every Area of Your Life!
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. What exactly is Mental Masturbation? It’s listening to podcasts passively versus immediately implementing what you learn It’s being part of a men’s group where you talk about your problems versus what you’ve attempted to do to solve them It’s writing in your men's or gratitude journal about your thoughts and feelings so you can manage the stress of being a man versus writing out the action steps necessary to deal with your very real-world problems Long story short, Male Mental Masturbation is knowing what to do but not doing what you know, and talking the talk without walking the walk. It's like going to the gym but not actually working out because you've convinced yourself (with a lot of help from society) that getting to the gym is good enough. That all ends here! As you'll soon discover, every episode of the MMU Podcast delivers what you'll come to know as the PodWod, aka your Podcast Workout of the Day. You'll get specific questions and actions - exercises with sets and reps - so you can crush it both inside and outside the gym. If you're a man who is looking to Muscle-Up in every area of life, hit subscribe, stay tuned, and answer the only question that will matter going forward - How do YOU MMU? Stay tuned for the first official MMU Podcast Bootcamp, a 5-part series specifically designed for June, which is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month: Part I - Are You Guilty of Mental Masturbation? Part 2 - Top 5 Hidden Symptoms of Mental Masturbation Part 3 - The 3 Big Lifts for Overcoming Mental Masturbation Part 4 - Developing Your Own Mental Health & Fitness Program Part 5 - The Top 3 Supplements for Optimizing Your Mental Health & Fitness Program Thanks for checking out the podcast, and I sincerely hope to connect with you on the inside.

FINAL EPISODE EVER - The End of Inspired By Impact
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. EP119 - This will be the last episode of Inspired By Impact ever! Why? There are three reasons that I will summarize with three quotes, all of which I will dive into detail about in today's episode. Quote #1 - "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority it’s time to pause and reflect.” - Mark Twain Long Story Short: I'm tired of being on the side of the majority and it's about fucking time to switch things up. Quote #2 (two-parter) - “Would you consume your own content? If not, don’t post it. It’s just the easiest way to work out whether or not what you’re producing is something that you should continue producing.” - Chris Williamson, Modern Wisdom #742 "Why don’t I do something different instead? It’s a very good strategy to chase not what other people are doing but what you want to see." - Gurwinder Bhogal, Modern Wisdom #742 Long Story Short: I'm no longer inspired by Inspired By Impact so it's time to switch gears to what has always and will always inspire me. Complete details in the episode. Quote #3 - "I have a vision of starting a conversation that becomes a movement." - Greg McKeown, Essentialism Long Story Short: While I can't deny that men's mental health is critical, it's no longer the message I feel compelled to be an advocate for. There is a new message that I have had on the back burner for years that has finally boiled over. Again, details in today's episode. Lastly, thanks to everyone who listened to the show and supported me along the way. It's not hyperbole to state that imagining you on the other end getting something from this content kept me going far longer than I would have ever on my own.

Top 5 Depression DOs and DON'Ts - Are You Making Depressed People Feel Even Worse?
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. EP118 - If you suffer from depression, what do you wish people would stop doing that you don't have the heart to tell them but wish somebody would? For those of us who have a very intimate and long-term relationship with depression, it can be hard to communicate with others about what's going on for you, what you need, and what pisses you off. I've been in an almost constant state of depression for about the past month now, and while I know my loved ones only want to help, there are certain things I wish they would either do or stop doing because they don't fucking help and usually only trigger me to feel worse. But it can be hard to tell the people you love to fuck off politely, so let me do that for you. Today, I am hoping to accomplish three things: 1 - If you suffer from depression, you'll probably be able to relate to some of the things I am experiencing, and it's always nice to know that you're not alone 2 - If you have difficulty communicating with the people who love you about how they can support you, this may help 3 - If you're someone who wants to know how you can better support your loved ones who suffer from depression, it's better you hear this from me than from them WARNING - Today might get a little dark so if you're a sunshine and rainbows type of person, you'll especially want to stick around so you can hear about how the other half lives. DISCLAIMER - I am not a medical professional or psychologist so everything I share is from my personal experience. Be sure to seek professional support to ensure you get the help you need. 🤔 HOW DO YOU MMU?

Is self-awareness really the first step in transforming any area of your life, or is there something that comes even before self-awareness?

Do Men Need to Just Fix Themselves Or Is It Up to ALL of Us - Society, Government, and Institutions - to Ignite the Impact for Men's Mental Health??
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. EP110 - What is it going to take for more people to become aware of, accept, and act on the fact that men's mental health is a societal pandemic, not simply a challenge men face by themselves and need to solve by themselves? This concludes the 6-part Men's Mental Health Awareness Month podcast series, and I could not have asked for three better guests to help me bring it home. George (aka @thetinmen), a filmmaker and men's and boy's advocate who first appeared on EP084 , Susie Bennett, PhD researcher exploring male suicide at Suicidal Behaviour Research Lab at the University of Glasgow who first appeared on EP086 , and Blake Rivers, a biomechanics researcher at Kingston University who will be making his solo debut on EP111. This was the first episode I was ever brought to tears, and pretty much all four of us had to fight them back at some point as we discussed a topic that unfortunately can't be openly discussed without receiving ample negative kickback from some people who simply believe that men aren't worthy of help, compassion, and the same level of sympathy and support as the rest of the world. Here are just a few of the incredible questions we will be addressing today: 👉🏾 If awareness is always the first step towards transformation, how can a man start to become aware of his mental and emotional levels of well-being so that he doesn’t become another sad statistic? 👉🏾 What is the emotional Tank of Pain and how does it influence our mental health? 👉🏾 How will becoming the researcher of your own life be a life-saving skill every man should develop? 👉🏾 Can success and a hardcore dedication to your craft be a warning sign for beneath-the-surface depression? 👉🏾 What are the symptoms you can be on the lookout for so you can spot mental health issues when they arise? 👉🏾 Why there is no before and after in both transforming your physical and mental health so stop fucking looking at it like that 👉🏾 Why do certain sectors of society and government vehemently refute the idea of men’s groups, ministers for men, and anything to do with lending support to men and boys? 👉🏾 What is the difference between loneliness and being alone, and what is the fundamental component that keeps those who feel loneliness from reaching out? 👉🏾 What are the laws we need to change if we are to change the stigma around men’s mental health, rape, and the cor

Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. EP106 - How important are the relationships men have with other men? It's not hyperbole to say that they are the difference between life and death. This statement is more than literal. While males die by suicide three to four times more often than females in the Western World, I would argue that an equally troubling epidemic is the man who is alive but far from living. The mental health issues men face today have many causes, but what lies at the center of it all is male loneliness - men feeling like they are alone whether they are in solitude or surrounded by loved ones. In short, I truly believe that to begin putting a dent in the epidemic that is men's mental health it starts with one thing - connecting men with other men who will help them become better men. Today, you are going to get a behind-the-scenes look at the six men who have impacted and saved my life more than anyone outside of Jennilee. Six men without whom I may not even be here. We cover a TON of amazing topics in this episode including but not limited to... 👉🏾 Living a comfortably numb existence 👉🏾 How mental health must be defined on an individual basis 👉🏾 What life is like without alcohol 👉🏾 What does intimacy between men look like? 👉🏾 How to quantify your life's purpose 👉🏾 Tracking your success in life 👉🏾 How to know if you're being a good romantic partner 👉🏾 Developing incredible self-awareness 👉🏾 The importance and power of being around the right men 👉🏾 Why anyone who is suffering does not need to suffer alone ....and much, MUCH more! 🎙 QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT!

EP105 - There is a hidden epidemic that is men's mental health. But who's to blame? Is it society? Is it men themselves? Is it women? What is the real source of male suffering? Today's episode ended up being the most multi-opinioned episode I have ever recorded. Luckily, I had three amazing guests - Marc Paisant from the Relatively Normal podcast, Josie Warren, a former therapist who helps individuals with autoimmune and mental health disorders, and J. Stamatelos, a self-relationship coach who works primarily with men. Here's a quick look at what we're going to be training today: 👉🏾 MMU #1 - Is it the outside world that determines the state of our mental health or do we have complete agency over our internal state of being? (8:11) 👉🏾 MMU #2 - Do men and women need different types of therapy or are our problems unique to us as men requiring unique solutions and approaches? (18:31) 👉🏾 MMU #3 - Are we playing the victim card too much when it comes to depression and anxiety? Are we truly victims of society? When is it time for us to step up for ourselves and take control of our lives? (42:36) 👉🏾 MMU #4 - Are men consciously or unconsciously competing with each other and how is that affecting our mental health? What is the single greatest threat to men’s mental health and how does shame play into that? (1:03:22) 👉🏾 BONUS MMU - Are men the victims of women’s need to emasculate us? Are all women inherently unhappy and therefore trying to take it out on men to fill a void they can't fill themselves? (1:17:00) ....and much, MUCH more! 🎙 QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT!

What are the symptoms that you need to look out for so that you don't wait until it's almost too late to wake up one day like I did and wonder what the fuck you're even doing with your life? (15:26) 👉🏾 MMU #3 - What do you do when your work and perhaps even your life don't align with your values? In other words, what if the things and people you value are not getting the time and attention they need? How do you shift your world so that you're living in alignment with your core values? (30:23) 👉🏾 MMU #4 - What does Mental Health even mean other than just being a buzzword we all say or think about from time to time? How do you define it in such a way that you can actually develop a mental fitness program for yourself that will enable to you get stronger, more flexible, and more agile mentally? (40:40) 👉🏾 MMU #5 - What can you do when you feel completely lost when it comes to your purpose?

Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. EP096 - Today, my guest Darlene Marshall was kind enough to come on for round two after an epic conversation during round one, which you can find inside of EP065. Trying to say what Darlene is in terms of a title would not do her justice so just let me tell you that while I could tell you that she is an expert when it comes to Applied Positive Psychology, Personal Training, podcasting, and being an author and coach for many, I think the way she answered the question, 'What are you training for?' sums her up amazingly: "I am always training for my own potential and function in a million different ways. I can't use my gifts if I can't get outta bed whether it's my knees or it's my noodle." Today is going to be about so many amazing topics including but not limited to... 👉🏾 Should we voice our opinions and values on those we love when we can see them going down a dark path and we just want to help or is it better to just keep our mouths shut? 👉🏾 When it comes to the health of the people you love the most, how can we help them embrace the systems (not habits) that will ensure they can thrive well into their 60's, 70's, and beyond? 👉🏾 Are habits really what we need to be focusing on when it comes to living healthier happier lives or have habits been given way too much street cred? 👉🏾 How do you define purpose? What is purpose? How do you know when you’ve found it and are living it? 👉🏾 What is the upward spiral phenomenon and why do you need to know it if you want to work on being as happy and healthy as you can? 👉🏾 What is it going to take to finally change the health and fitness industry so that people aren't relentlessly failing over and over again chasing bullshit before and after goals that statistically do more harm than good? 👊🏾 GIVE A SPOT. GET A SPOT. When it comes to the ultimate workout that is everyday life, we all need a spot from time to time to carry the weight of relationships, mental health, work, and living with purpose.

EP095 - How big of a role have women played in what seems to be a societal shift of strong men becoming soft and masculine traits becoming toxic? Today, my guest Josie Warren is back for round 2 after a very controversial appearance on EP085 of IBI where we spent the second half of the episode talking about the emasculation of good men at the hands of women. Today is going to be about so many amazing topics including 👉🏾 Are ALL women inherently emasculating good men in their relationships? 👉🏾 The Overt vs the Covert Bitch - How to identify if your woman is emasculating you 👉🏾 A very brave and controversial role model for women who refers to her Happy Wife School as the "red pill for women" 👉🏾 Is modern-day feminism toxic and do we swing way too far on the pendulum of both masculinity and femininity? 👉🏾 Is it a man's job to know the ins and outs of his partner's emotional states, mindset, and even menstrual cycle? 👉🏾 If your woman won't budge in the conversation how do you differentiate between her standing up for herself and her trying to have power over you? 👉🏾 What do you do if your partner is unwilling to let go of the past? Do you stay or do you go? 👊🏾 GIVE A SPOT. GET A SPOT.

EP094 - What role is porn playing in your life not just when it comes to your performance in the bedroom but also when it comes to the pursuit and practice of living your life's purpose? Today, my guest is Max Stossel who is not only an award-winning poet and filmmaker, but also (in my humble opinion) one of the best examples I have come across of the Modern Man - one who is able to express himself and his purpose with love, integrity, vulnerability, and passion. Max had an almost instant impact on my relationship with Jennilee as I took his words and advice not only to heart but implemented one strategy he talks about when it comes to leveling up in the bedroom, which ended up creating a level of connection with JL we both agreed was one of the best in recent memory. Today is going to be about so many amazing topics including 👉🏾 How porn is poison for our sex lives, our relationships, and ultimately our purpose as a man 👉🏾 The best question I have ever heard when it comes to melding sex and connection instead of just focusing on bringing each other to orgasm 👉🏾 How do you define PURPOSE so you can begin living it daily and what does it LOOK like once you let it discover you? 👉🏾 Why trying to fix other peoples' problems and relieve them of their pain may be the worst thing you can do for them 👉🏾 Without a doubt the craziest lyrical genius in action that poetically and powerfully describes the state of sex, porn, relationships, and manhood that I have ever heard 👊🏾 GIVE A SPOT.

EP092 - TRAINING DAY! Today's episode is inspired by EP091 of IBI with my Brother Erik DaRosa. Check it out on Spotify or Apple Podcast . Here is our Training Split for today's episode: 💪🏾 Training Session #1 - Purpose + Relationship Health & Fitness: If you're in the habit of shutting people out when life gets tough like I used to be (and still struggle with from time to time) how do you get over this hurdle so that you don't have to carry the weight of life all by yourself? (4:25) Notable Quotable #1 - “Vulnerability is all about being your true authentic self and letting people into your world.” 💪🏾 Training Session #2 - Relationship Health & Fitness: How well do you REALLY know the men closest to you, and how would you feel if shit hit the fan in their life when you could have helped prevent it? (13:42) Notable Quotable #2 - “To me, you can’t have a conversation about mental health without having the word vulnerability in there. I just don’t think it’s a very genuine and true conversation unless those two go hand-in-hand.” 💪🏾 Training Session #3 - Purpose Health & Fitness: Are you letting fear keep you stuck in a life of mediocrity because you think that what you have to offer is of no value to the world? (22:31) Notable Quotable #3 - “I think that’s another big part of vulnerability is a willingness to put yourself out there, and you don’t really know what’s gonna happen. It just feels right at the time.” 💪🏾 Training Session #4 - Full-Body PREP: If your goal in life is to become a better man - a better partner, provider, and producer - how can you make sure that all the work you're putting in today will actually pay off tomorrow? (32:25) Notable Quotable #4 - “You start to see as you write things down, wow! If this is what I’m thinking then this also must be what I’m saying, and so to the outside world this is what they’re hearing. By journalling, you start to think of ways to change that narrative.” 👊🏾 GIVE A SPOT. GET A SPOT.

EP091 - What does vulnerability have to do with being a 'man's man', and how the hell can a man go about experiencing, embracing, and expressing vulnerability? Today, my guest is Erik DaRosa, who is a former Wall St. investor, fellow podcaster, and trauma survivor advocate who has transformed his life from one of a hollow corporate shell to a man living with and on purpose. Erik and I share so much in common, not the least of which is taking our passion - in his case skiing - and using it to help others overcome anxiety, and depression, and deal with the struggles of everyday life. Erik is an amazing example of what can happen when a man is willing to stop fucking lying to himself, take a good look in the mirror, and realize that while he is responsible for his own life and happiness, this is not a journey that can or should be taken alone. Here are just a few of the amazing takeaways Erik and I will be crushing today: 👉🏾 How Erik crashing into a condo while skiing turned out to be an amazing wake-up call to drop the Wall Street investor facade once and for all (15:34) 👉🏾 Why both in life and in skiing you can’t just put your head down and expect to move forward, and if you focus on the trees (anxious thoughts) you ARE going to crash (30:03) 👉🏾 What does NOT being vulnerable look like so you can catch it and turn that shit around (101:00) 👉🏾 What to look out for and what to do to recognize pain in the people you love when on the surface they seem okay (114:46) 👉🏾 One of the core vulnerability practices every couple who struggles with communication needs to PRACTICE (134:27) 👉🏾 What Jordan, LeBron, Gretzky, and Brady can teach us about vulnerability (151:15) 👊🏾 GIVE A SPOT. GET A SPOT. When it comes to the ultimate workout that is everyday life, we all need a spot from time to time to carry the weight of relationships, mental health, work, and living with purpose. Share this episode with a Brother you sense needs a spot or if you're the one struggling to lift the weight, share it with the one guy you know is always there to give you a spot when you need it. I'm all about giving a spot when a Brother needs one so feel free to hit me up for a spot on IG @ignitetheimapct so we can train together towards Igniting the Impact you wish to see in your world. 👊🏾 SHOUT-OUT TO My Brother Eric DaRosa who you can connect with on <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/from-survivor-to-thriver/id155175

TRAINING DAY! Reducing Stress While Increasing Productivity, Building Brotherhood, and Secrets to Physical Transformation
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. EP090 - TRAINING DAY! Today's episode is inspired by EP089 of IBI with my Brother J. Stamatelos. Check it out on Spotify or Apple Podcast . Shout-out to my Brother BobbyT (@justbobbyt) for helping me see that I was committing one of the cardinal sins when it comes to training - putting Quantity over Quality. It's time to start focusing on QUALITY once again by making every rep (aka episode) count by pairing each up with a solo episode highlighting the mighty MMU. Here is our Training Split for today's episode: 💪🏾 Day 1 - Physical + Emotional Health & Fitness: What can you do when you've managed to put your emotions on the back burner so you can still get shit done but you're not enjoying the level of peace, fulfillment, and excitement that you want out of life? (5:50) Notable Quotable #1 - “I think it starts with not being afraid of your feelings in the first place.” 💪🏾 Day 2 - Relationship Health & Fitness: How do you ensure you're surrounding yourself with Brothers who will honor you for who you are, help you see through your own bullshit, and ultimately help you step into the powerful truth of who you are? (16:35) Notable Quotable #2 - “I do really think that what we want most is to be loved for who we really are and if we are always wearing a mask that’s impossible because at no point are we actually getting love.” 💪🏾 Day 3 - Full-Body aka PREP: How do you get over the stress of being a perfectionist who insists on doing it all alone so that you can reduce your levels of stress and get more shit done in less time all while enjoying the process way more than you currently are? Notable Quotable #3 - “Living in a hyper-competitive yet isolated world is perfect for cultivating a deep inner critic that generates shame because if I live in a world where I’m dependent only on myself and my success and failure is dependent on me I need to be as close to perfect as possible because any personal flaw can be a disaster. I don’t have a tribe behind me.” 💪🏾 Day 4 - Physical Health & Fitness: How can a man who suffers from poor body image learn to both love and respect his body more and stop shitting all over himself for not being as 'jacked' or as 'ripped' as he believes he should be? Notable Quotable #4 - “No one has to try to be this amazing person that’

J. Stamatelos - How to Stop People-Pleasing, Learn to Love Your Inner Critic, and Why We Need to Welcome Negative Emotions
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. EP089 - How do you go about not only learning to love your inner critic but leveraging that piece of shit voice (or voices) in your head in order to make them an ally and not an enemy? Today, my guest is J. Stamatelos (one of the coolest names ever!) who believes the way we've been taught to approach personal change is entirely wrong, so he helps men just like you and me who struggle both internally and externally through a modality known as Internal Family Systems, or IFS. IFS is an evidence-based framework that heals emotional pain by building a positive self-relationship within. It assumes we are made up of “parts” that are often in conflict. One part of you may want you to be bold and share your truth with the world…while another wants you to hide and avoid being seen. It remembers how you were hurt before and doesn’t want you to experience this again. Instead of picking a side and fighting this out, IFS allows us to heal these old wounds. Healing past pain allows these protective parts to switch roles and become powerful allies toward authentic living. IFS excels for those who experience high degrees of shame, self-conflict, self-doubt, fear of external judgment, and similar issues. Here are just a few of the amazing takeaways Paul and I will be crushing today: 👉🏾 Why seeing ourselves as an ally we want to help as opposed to an enemy we need to defeat is critical to our success 👉🏾 If self-sabotage is really our inner critics having the best of intentions, how do we develop the awareness to recognize when the inner critic is actually trying to help us? 👉🏾 When you feel like shit, how do you separate yourself from your emotions in order to effectively deal with the emotions? 👉🏾 If re-framing your emotions in the moment is the key to getting past your negative emotions, what's the step that comes before you can ever re-frame what you are feeling? 👉🏾 Why emotions are guests that visit us every day and in our home we need to have two doors - one that lets things in and one that lets things out - and how our job is to keep both doors open 👉🏾 Why we wear masks in order to be loved by those around us but by wearing a mask we will never be loved for who we truly are 👉🏾 Why living in a hyper-competitive yet isolated world is the perfect environment for cultivating an inner critic that generates shame 👉🏾 What are the 3 different levels of dealing with the self-critic and what are the tangible action steps you can take for each level to learn to love and leverage your own inner critic? 💪🏾

Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. EP088 - How can a man who is living so far below his potential wake the f*ck up, face the reality that is his mediocre life, and leverage monotony to explode his potential? Today, my guest is Paul Salter, who I would have originally introduced as a sustainable weight-loss coach for women and fellow podcaster, but now I am honored to introduce him as a Brother because as you will hear, we connected on so many things at the deepest of levels that will set an amazing example of how two men who honor and respect each other communicate. Both Paul and I were amazed at how in sync we were with each other, and how many similarities there are in our life paths, and it became clear to me that Paul is one of those men who proved me right when I said if you want to improve the quality of your life you have to start by improving the quality of the men in your life. Here are just a few of the amazing takeaways Paul and I will be crushing today: 👉🏾 Why chasing weight-loss goals is NOT what both Paul and I have our clients focus on and why chasing FEELINGS is what we DO focus on (5:43) 👉🏾 If feelings are the ultimate goal, how do you measure your PROGRESS when it comes to feelings? (10:36) 👉🏾 Since silence and stillness are mandatory for reaching your potential, what are the exercises we can engage in that will strengthen both? (13:37) 👉🏾 The pros and cons of using the scale (aka weight loss) to measure your progress (16:58) 👉🏾 What has helped Paul increase the ultimate drug we all need to take more of - CONFIDENCE (20:30) 👉🏾 Why men neglect their physical health using the excuse of 'not having enough time' and how men can begin to prioritize their physical health (28:15) 👉🏾 Developing the skill of becoming your own Personal Trainer for life and how we'll never be able to do it without having Brothers like Paul (34:51) 👉🏾 How to use a unique strategy known as the Personal Board of Directors to get the answers to the challenges that are plaguing you the most (36:45) 👉🏾 How can a man start practicing self-love in order to reach his potential? (50:05) 👉🏾 Why we need to fall in love with monotony in order to be truly successful in every domain of life (55:55) 👉🏾 The pivot Paul is making to ignite the impact he wishes to see in his world by helping people UNSTUCK themselves (101:57) 💪🏾 HERE'S MY CHALLENGE TO YOU! 📲 Download the MMU Blueprint and start Igniting the Impact you wish to see in your world. 👊🏾 SHOUT-OUT TO My Brother Paul who

Today, my guest is one of my closest Brothers, the one and only Philip Pape. Philip has been on the show before and will be on again in a couple of weeks because this man represents what I believe every coach should be - honest, compassionate, and just as importantly result-based. Philip helped me pack on approximately 10lbs of lean muscle faster than I ever have before by helping me change my limiting beliefs and got me to do some shit I swore I would never do (and actually like it), all while helping me understand that attaining my goals doesn't need to be nearly as hard as I thought. I cannot speak highly enough about Philip so if you're someone who struggles with your health and fitness and you want to, as Philip would say, 'Look like you lift', stay tuned. Here are just a few of the amazing takeaways Paul and I will be crushing today: 👉🏾 What do you LIFT for? Philip rephrased that with, “What do I NOT lift for? Discover how Philip went from and non-athlete chubby kid to a lifting beast! 👉🏾 Philips tipping point that enabled him to add 100lbs to his Squat (and probably ego) in 6 months 👉🏾 What was the mental MINDSET shift Philip calls the Athlete of Aging that was the perfect medicine that allowed him to ditch the ‘dad bod’ and PRIORITIZE fitness 👉🏾 How Philip - a father and full-time engineer with/ a huge side hustle was still able to join the 5% club in terms of physical health and fitness 👉🏾 What you should be measuring to increase your strength and level of fitness? 👉🏾 What rep range and exercises does Philip recommend to improve your strength and performance most efficiently? 👉🏾 How does Philip recommend you EAT to become as strong and healthy as possible? 👉🏾 The most important step of the 4-step process: how to make mistakes hard to make and what to do when shit inevitably hits the fan 💪🏾 HERE'S MY CHALLENGE TO YOU! 📲 Download the MMU Blueprint and start Igniting the Impact you wish to see in your world. 👊🏾 SHOUT-OUT TO My Brother Philip who you connect with on His Website <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/wits-weights-strength-and-nutrition-for-skeptics/id159

EP085 - How are mental health and auto-immune disorders really our excuses to escape life and how are women silently emasculating men and playing a huge role in the destruction of masculinity? Today, my guest is Josie Warren, a therapist who helps others overcome the same mental health and autoimmune disorders she suffered with for the majority of her life by ditching the textbooks and going deep within to cure herself. This conversation with Josie was SO powerful that I literally emailed her the minute we were done scheduling part II as we both agreed there was so much more we needed to discuss but just ran out of time.

George @thetinmen - Why Are Men Being Left Behind, Blatant Double Standards of Gender Equality, and Why Society Has Let (or Perhaps Held) Men Down
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. EP084 - Is there a blatant double standard in society that is actually putting men and boys at an obvious disadvantage that nobody sees and is willing to talk about? Today, my guest is George, who is a man taking a massive stand through not just words but hardcore action in the world of male advocacy for both men and boys. George may refer to himself as a blogger who is widening perspectives around men, sparking and engaging in uncomfortable conversations, putting the spotlight on ugly truths while addressing the unpopular other half of gender equality, and men’s mental health. But let me tell you that he is so much more than that. With a lot of attention being given to gender politics and gender identities, I think George put it more perfectly than anyone I have ever heard when he said this: "I try to identify as George, and George is a constantly shifting collection of ideas that I'm able to bring in and take out as I choose." 💪🏾 HERE'S MY CHALLENGE TO YOU! 📲 Download the MMU Blueprint and start Igniting the Impact you wish to see in your world. 👊🏾 SHOUT-OUT TO My Brother George who you can find on Instagram 📖 RESOURCES Do yourself a favor and check out George's Instagram Community to find out just how serious the issues facing men and boys are today 🥰 ENJOY THE SHOW?

Jeff Zacharski - How to Use Progressive Overload Outside of the Gym to Become A Stronger Man
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. EP083 - How do you close the gap between the man you are and the man you want and need to be? Today, my guest is Jeff Zacharski, who is on a mission to help men all over the world live an open-hearted life. Like many of us, Jeff learned to be a chameleon, suppress his thoughts and shut his emotions down, not take risks. He felt alone in determining who he was as a man. He found himself going around in circles in the same unhelpful patterns, lacking any real substance in his relationships, overthinking and being stuck in his head while feeling disconnected from his body, not really understanding himself, believing in himself, or knowing what he even wanted. He compensated by trying to fix everything or prove his worth by giving up more of himself. By trying harder to please. Doing more. Escaping himself. No matter what he did, it resulted in patterns of chronic self-neglect, overworking, and over-achieving. This almost always led to burnout. He was actually disconnected from his true nature. In Jeff's words, "I'm still a fixer and creative solution provider and I am also grounded, present, confident, sensual, and a deeply loving leader of men. It was only when I went through my own coaching experience that I was able to identify these unhelpful patterns, unlock who I was, and make lasting changes that impacted every single area of my life." Here are just a few of the gems we be tackling in this episode: 👉🏾 How can we as men develop more strength, agility, and flexibility when it comes to our emotions so that we don't just end up shutting down and shutting up in the face of adversity? (10:59) 👉🏾 What makes Steve Harvey one of the strongest men alive and what is the one strength he possesses that allows him to push, press, and pull through whatever life throws his way? (24:20) 👉🏾 How can you use the 2% Better Progressive Overload Principle to strengthen the connection you have with your partner? (34:15) 👉🏾 What do good quality reps vs shitty quality reps look like when it comes to developing what I would consider the core muscles of your existence? (45:30) 👉🏾 When it comes to defining strength in a man, what is one thing you can measure on a moment-to-moment basis that will give you instant feedback as to how strong you really are?

How can we begin to break the stereotype of men as misogynists if we’re too strong or pussies if we’re too weak?

Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. EP079 - Erectile Dysfunction: Two words no man wants to hear and yet studies show that 40 percent of men in their 40s suffer from it and that number only goes up with age.

It hits them in their stomach. It hits them in their heart. It hits them in their soul.” - Traver Boehm INTEGRATION #4 = When in the next 24 hours will you sit down and answer two of the most important questions any man can ask himself: Q1 - What makes you the happiest and Q2 = What scares you the most?

Why Most Men Fail At Being The Man
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. EP026 - This episode of IBI is inspired by a Challenge I recently issue to myself aptly named the Ignite the Impact Challenge where, for 24 days, I will complete 24 MMUs using quotes from 4 of my favorite books. Why am I doing this? Because the MMUs are fucking awesome but more importantly I will be launching the Ignite the Impact Challenge officially in the new year, and this is considered my warm-up round. For 4 of the MMUs I am using inspiration from the book The Way of the Superior Man, and for the bonus MMU I am using a quote from the book The War of Art. Let me break down the episode with a super quick summary of the quotes I used for inspiration, and then you decide whether or not one or all of them are worth a listen... MMU#1 (5:11) - “Good friends should not tolerate mediocrity in one another. If you are at your edge, your men friends should respect that, but not let you off the hook. They should honor your fears, and, in love, continue to goad you beyond them, without pushing you.” MMU#2 (16:22) - “Without a conscious life-purpose a man is totally lost, drifting, adapting to events rather than creating events. Without knowing his life-purpose, a man lives a weakened, impotent existence, perhaps eventually becoming even sexually impotent, or prone to mechanical and disinterested sex.” MMU#3 (41:20) - “When you do your tasks in the right way, they liberate your life energy so that you can attend to what really matters - the investigation, realization, and embodiment of true freedom. Do you even know what this means? Have you devoted yourself to finding out the deepest truth of your own existence? If, in this very moment, your tasks are not supporting your life in this way, you must drop them or change them so that they do. Otherwise, you are wasting your life.” MMU #4 (101:12) - “A fearful man who knows he is fearful is far more trustable than a fearful man who isn’t aware of his fear. And a fearful man who still leans into his fear, living at his edge and putting his gift out from there, is more trustworthy and more inspirational than a fearful man who hangs back in the comfort zone, unwilling to even experience his fear on a day to day level.” BONUS MMU (126:56) - “It is one thing to study war, and another thing to live the Warrior’s life.” Now that we've got that outta the way, here is what I am going to challenge you to do right now: Hit me up on IG @ignitetheimpact so you can be one of the first to know when I laun

How Most Men Ruin Relationships and How to Heal Them(selves)
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. EP025 - Season 2 Premiere! This one goes out to all my MEN out there. November is Men's Health Month and while Movember might be a thing in terms of growing a mustache, I question whether or not awareness of men's mental health issues is gaining traction. But...rather than question it why not contribute to it, which is what this episode (and potentially this entire podcast) will be about. Let me break down the episode with a super quick summary of the quotes and stories I'll be going over and then you decide whether or not one or all of them are worth a listen... MMU#1 (6:09) - “I would much sooner take a call from a friend that was crying than attend his funeral.” - Paddy "The Baddy" Pimblett Long Story Short - I have friends who I know deep down are not doing ok but I’m afraid to bring it up because I don’t know if they want to talk about it. MMU#2 (12:33)- “Give a man a purpose and the ability to achieve it he’ll crawl over broken glass with a smile. The problem is that when you get men in and you make them feel seen and like they’re safe and stuff like that a lot of the time I don’t think that that’s necessarily what men want. It’s a DOING thing.” - Max Dickins, Modern Wisdom EP511 Long Story Short - I’m fucking tired of not knowing what my purpose is let alone how to live it. MMU#3 (28:30) - “If you don’t accept that men have a different social style or have different social preferences you can’t do too much about male loneliness and mental health." Long Story Short - It’s so hard to connect with other men because we’re never in a situation where we can make the connections that truly matter. MMU #4 (39:31) - “So I think often maybe men don’t understand they’re having mental health problems or we don’t understand men are having it because they’re doing things that don’t look like depression. They’re not crying, they’re not on people’s shoulder, they’re not low energy. They’re just not there!” - Max Dickins Long Story Short - I am concerned about the men in my life because I really can’t tell how they are truly feeling and what kind of mental shape they are in. BONUS MMU (53:30) - “I think there is a cultural idea that your beloved should be everything to you - your emotional home, your sexual home, your home for fun and leisure, as well as the parent you co-parent with. That’s a lot of pressure. It also shrinks your life if you’re not careful.” - Max Dickins Long Story Long - I almost killed what has turned out to be the most amazing romantic relatio

The Most Important Episode I Have Ever Recorded
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. Episode 024 is my baby. This episode represents all the trials and tribulations in my life that have led me to where I am now, which is a place of purpose, passion, and expansion. This is every gift I have received and the best lessons I have learned summed up as quickly as I possibly can so that you can take these 4 steps and Ignite the Impact you wish to see in your world. Let me sum this one up for you in one of my favorite ways - with the quotes that inspired each of this episode's Morning Muscle-Ups: MMU #1 (4:37) - “What you measure affects what you do. If you don’t measure the right thing, you don’t do the right thing.” - Joseph Stiglitz Long Story Short - In life, if you are not crystal clear on what success, happiness, and fulfillment look like in EVERY area then you are doomed to live a life of mediocrity. MMU #2 (13:59) - “Forget about goals. Focus on systems instead. Goals are about the results you want to achieve. Systems are the processes that lead to those results. In order to improve for good, you need to solve problems at the systems level. Fix the inputs and the outputs will fix themselves.” - James Clear, Atomic Habits Long Story Short - Goal setting is bullshit and is everything wrong with self-help, self-improvement, and personal development. You don't need huge, audacious goals. You need systems that make hitting your targets (not goals) not only possible but inevitable. MMU #3 (23:30) - “Most of us have two lives. The life we live and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance .” Long Story Short - Even with the best systems in place, life is going to throw you a few curveballs more often than you would like. Knowing how to overcome those obstacles in advance with pre-determined strategies is what makes the system work as smoothly as possible. MMU #4 (36:28) - “The mere act of tracking a habit can spark the urge to change it. Habit tracking also keeps you honest. Most of us have a distorted view of our own behavior. We think we act better than we do. Measurement offers one way to overcome our blindness to our own behavior and notice what’s really going on each day. When the evidence is right in front of you, you’re less likely to lie to yourself.” - James Clear, Atomic Habits Long Story Short - Even with clear targets coupled with the right system and strategies, you'll never know if you're on the right path if you don't track and reflect on where you are compared to where you want to go. MMU #5 - “Only through our connectedness to

How to Make Or Break Habits That Make Or Break YOU!
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. Episode 023 of IBI was inspired by James Clear both from his interview with Rich Roll on the Rich Roll podcast as well as from his book Atomic Habits . We're crushing five Morning Muscle-Ups today so take em all in or check out the ONE in the description below that hits you the hardest at first glance. This episode of IBI is for you if… MMU #1 - You can't seem to stay consistent when it comes to working out and eating healthy and you want a tried-and-true way to up your motivation to stick with it long-term (3:09) MMU #2 - Your romantic relationship is lacking in romance hard and you want to know one of the biggest mistakes couples make without even realizing it so you can fix things before it's too late (10:53) MMU #3 - You're not known for having a ton of patience and you'd like to get your emotions under control so that you don't lose your shit so easily (17:52) MMU #4 - You struggle to build new habits and you want to know the two biggest mistakes people make when trying to start a new habit and how to avoid them. (26:36) MMU #5 - You're an entrepreneur or wantrepreneur who feels stuck and you can't seem to find the right path for you. (36:13) Which MMU will you do? One of the best lines I got from this podcast was when James Clear said, “This is what in the book I call the difference between motion and action. Action can actually deliver a result but motion is related to that but never will.” If you just listen to this, you're simply going through the motions. If you want to take ACTION and actually see results, here is what I am challenging you to do right now: Whichever MMU hit you the hardest, DO IT! Need some support? Hit me up on IG @ignitetheimpact .

(10:40) MMU #3 - You have this neverending sense of stress, anxiety, and unease with your life and you want to find the source of the problem so you can finally feel like you're living the life you're meant to live. (15:47) MMU #4 - You're tired of setting goals that never actually come true and want to stop spinning your tires and actually get somewhere in your life. (21:06) MMU #5 - You've been working out for years and yet nothing seems to be changing and you want to know the simple mindset shift that will take you to the next level. (26:37) MMU #6 - You want to know the painful truth about what it really takes to find and live your life's purpose. (32:25) MMU #7 - You're having issues in the bedroom and you want to know a simple strategy you can start to implement immediately to start heating things up again. (38:52) Which MMU will you do? One of the best lines I got from this podcast was when James Clear said, “This is what in the book I call the difference between motion and action. Action can actually deliver a result but motion is related to that but never will.” If you just listen to this, you're simply going through the motions. If you want to take ACTION and actually see results, here is what I am challenging you to do right now: Whichever MMU hit you the hardest, DO IT! Need some support? Hit me up on IG @ignitetheimpact .

Welcome to The Mental Muscle-Up Podcast! (Formerly Inspired By Impact)
Send Me A Message! What's the biggest challenge you face when it comes to looking, feeling, and performing your best? Let me know and I'll show you how to MMU in an upcoming epsiode. What exactly is Mental Masturbation? It’s listening to podcasts passively versus immediately implementing what you learn It’s being part of a men’s group where you talk about your problems versus what you’ve attempted to do to solve them It’s writing in your men's or gratitude journal about your thoughts and feelings so you can manage the stress of being a man versus writing out the action steps necessary to deal with your very real-world problems Long story short, Male Mental Masturbation is knowing what to do but not doing what you know, and talking the talk without walking the walk. It's like going to the gym but not actually working out because you've convinced yourself (with a lot of help from society) that getting to the gym is good enough. That all ends here! As you'll soon discover, every episode of the MMU Podcast delivers what you'll come to know as the PodWod, aka your Podcast Workout of the Day. You'll get specific questions and actions - exercises with sets and reps - so you can crush it both inside and outside the gym. If you're a man who is looking to Muscle-Up in every area of life, hit subscribe, stay tuned, and answer the only question that will matter going forward - How do YOU MMU? Stay tuned for the first official MMU Podcast Bootcamp, a 5-part series specifically designed for June, which is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month: Part I - Are You Guilty of Mental Masturbation? Part 2 - Top 5 Hidden Symptoms of Mental Masturbation Part 3 - The 3 Big Lifts for Overcoming Mental Masturbation Part 4 - Developing Your Own Mental Health & Fitness Program Part 5 - The Top 3 Supplements for Optimizing Your Mental Health & Fitness Program Thanks for checking out the podcast, and I sincerely hope to connect with you on the inside.
