Money doesn't buy happiness, fulfillment or joy. So why do we sacrifice the things that DO give us happiness, joy and fulfilment in the pursuit of moving the decimal places in our bank accounts? We live in a world of instant gratification at the expense of future hardship. We go in debt for things that underdeliver instead of investing in our #DreamBIG. This week's episode I go DEEP into the murky...

If you thought the Bench Press was the only exercise designed by the Devil, you are wrong! In fact Satan first came up with the back squat! True story!

The bench press was created by the Devil. This isn't my opinion, it is a fact! For some reason there are still fitness coaches and athletes that hold on to this archaic exercise and hold it up as the gold standard for press strength and power. Have we not learnt from the demise of the Bosu Ball, Thigh Master and the Ab Roller? There are better ways to develop push strength. In this episode I go DE...

So many people hesitate to accomplish their goals because they are putting the cart before the horse. "I want to lose 10lbs before I get a trainer." "I will quite drinking once Oktoberfest is over." "Ill hire a front desk assistant once my business can afford it." "We are going to get married once we buy a house!" "We are a waiting for our kids to leave the house before we get a divorce." "I dont...

The best way to find inspiration is to inspire others and reflect their inspiration on to yourself. When you help others you are in an essence helping yourself. The script we give others is a reflection of the self we want to be. I am not saying that this should be your purpose for helping others but if you open yourself up to opportunity to learn from those you coach or interact with you may just...

The Ying Yang symbol that you see on any martial arts studio logo, tattoos from the 80's and on surf board and skateboards made by T&C is a perfect metaphor for life. The eb and flow of the positive and negative, feminine and masculine, order and chaos, the light and the dark. It represents balance. The Yang is the white side of the image and the Ying is the black side. The white Yang side represe...

To truly grow as a person you need to get uncomfortable. All successful people have some kind of inner motivator that pushes them to succeed. But it is human nature to seek comfort so we push ourselves in ways we are comfortable with. If you are good at sports you challenge yourself physically. Good at math? You may challenge yourself in creating an algorithm for success. The things that are holdi...
