It's becoming more common for people to say they value experience over material things. A valiant goal indeed, but not always easy. The hardcore fitness community knows you can't think or study your way to better aesthetics or performance. It takes reps, tension, and time. But do we apply the same priorities to other areas of life? Listen in as Tyler and Joe discuss what it can mean to look back o...

Two nutrition, health, and contest prep coaches talking about forgiveness - how weird is that? Before you scroll away, consider why you train or pursue aggressive fitness. Maybe even physique or strength sport. Is part of it to make yourself more...acceptable? Insulate yourself from criticism or insecurity? There may be a couple of layers to explore that make your fitness life more fun, positive,...

People begin with a negativity bias, a self-protective fear filter that keeps the world at arm's length. Some of us get too good at it and end up seeing only darkness and doom. Or we ignore it altogether and build layers of delusion. What if you could use negativity as a force to propel yourself toward the best things in life? Let it steer and power you to reach goals? Listen in as Joe and Tyler c...

You have options. Good options. In a maturing coaching industry that reflects every other unregulated occupation, the talent pool ranges from unbelievably high-quality and over-qualified to literal murderers. Google it. Multiple coaches have killed young, healthy clients because of their malpractice, ignorance, and arrogance. Others suffer shame and humiliation from abusive coaches. You don't just...

It's sad that New Year's resolutions end up as joke punchlines more times than not. We still gravitate strongly toward positive change for very good reasons. There are well-studied motive cues that attract us to the blank slate mentality of sharpening our behavior. We don't just want to do different things, we want to become different people. That's a good thing. Listen in as Joe and Tyler discuss...

Sometimes looking into our own futures makes us apprehensive. We fear losing what we love. As we enter that future, sometimes we hold onto things just because they are remnants of our identities and we're afraid of losing who we used to be, and all the things attached. But what if we view life as successful seasons enjoyed? What if we're okay leaving parts of us behind to find new identities? From...

Not exactly clickbait, eh? "Hmm...I'm so excited to see what two coaches think about service to others, let's grab some popcorn!" But, man. Man, oh, man. The social capital and the glue that holds relationships together - and entire societies - is service. Other-centeredness. It would be an easy argument to prove that even your health and athletic pursuits depend on the relationships you build thr...
