I’m not going to lie…we got teary eyed in this conversation we had about being relentless. The truth is, life and entrepreneurship aren’t easy. Michael Jordan’s personal trainer, Tim Grover, said “be relentless in your belief…its about facing your fears, wanting more, and never settling.” We’ve realized the past decade that in life and entrepreneurship…you have to be relentless in your pursuit because physical dominance is great but mental dominance makes you unstoppable. That’s why we decided to go deep in the conversation and talk about 5 ways to be relentless in your lifestyle and entrepreneurship so you can learn to control and channel your emotions to play at a higher level in life and as an entrepreneur IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How you need to STOP SEEKING VALIDATION AND APPROVAL from others Why you are not OWED ANYTHING AND NEED TO PAY YOUR DUES To never MAKE LIFE ALTERING DECISIONS BASED OFF YOUR EMOTIONS How to NOT negotiate with YOUR “INNER BITCH” If you LOSE CREDIBILITY, CONFIDENCE, AND BE

We have a confession to make… Last month, Chris and I drove to Palm Springs and locked ourselves in a condo for 4 days! The reason being… We had to get out of LA to focus on writing our second book “Rise of the Fit Pros.” Writing a book is one of the most rewarding and awesome projects we’ve experienced! But a lot goes into it that people don’t understand, such as: The outline of a book How to focus on completing the book Do you hire an editor and book publishing team How do you get the book out to people   We wrote our first book, “The New Era of Fitness” 2 years ago and boy oh boy did we learn a lot from that entire start to end experience of it. This time around, when we were set to write our second book “Rise of the Fit Pros,” we knew exactly what to do from start to finish and wanted to document it all for you to help you save money, time collapse the learning curve, and learn the exact steps you can take to write a book.

  We’re big believers in sharing your story with the others since it leads to creating impact, inspiration, and motivation for others. A couple of key pieces in your story are your struggles, your deepest pains, your rock bottom moments, and being authentic about sharing it with others.   Therefore, we had such an amazing and impacting conversation with the awesome Natalie Jill around all of this. Natalie is known for her fitness influence, but she is so much more than that, she’s truly incredible with the mindset and personal growth work she has done on herself and has a ton of value and wisdom to share with the world.

  Have you heard of the crab in a bucket story?   To sum it up… if you have a ton of crabs in one bucket and a crab is trying to get out of the bucket, they eventually will get pulled down by other crabs and never make it out of the bucket.   This is a great analogy for the people you surround yourselves with and your environment not wanting you to get to the next level, leave your hometown, accomplish your goals and dreams, etc.   This is why its so imperative to surround yourself with an influential tribe and build meaningful relationships so that you have a circle to uplift you through challenging times.   We had the pleasure to sit down with our mentor, Mike Zellar. He has been an influential part of our entrepreneurial journey and we have built a meaningful relationship the past couple of years with him.   We dive deep on the power of masterminds and how to build influential and meaningful relationships.   IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How to find the right mastermind for you Red flags to look for wh

{Quick story I want to share with you}   I remember when Chris and I first started our careers as fitness professionals a decade ago… we had such a closed mindset, we were scarce with investing in ourselves, and played small. It took a lot of work, years, mentors, coaches, changing our environment, and ultimately wanting to play bigger and become wealthy fitness professionals. I truly believe being a fitness pro is one of the best careers out there because we get to change people’s health and fitness which thus carries over to their careers, families, relationships, happiness, and more.   With us giving clients hope and confidence again, we strongly feel fitness professionals should make more money and be unapologetic about it.   So, you’re in for a treat with this episode where we dive deep into 3 of our top ways to make more money as an online trainer   IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How to create a mindset to become a wealthy fitness professional How to create more income, influence, impact, and indep

Do you agree with this saying…“What Got You to The Level You're at Now...   Will Not Get You to The Next Level You So Much Desire and Deserve?”   What I’ve learned is in any entrepreneurial route you decide to take, making an income and sustaining it isn’t as easy as everyone on social media claims it to be. Being on this entrepreneurial route for close to a decade now, Chris and I fell prey to those that said there were: Get rich quick schemes Overnight successes Making six figures in your sleep Scaling to 7 figures is easy  Living the lap top lifestyle while sipping may tai’s in Fiji on the beach   If it were that easy, the billions of people in the world would all be doing this. Now, that’s not to say that there aren’t other ways to go about growing your business and generating more income in smarter, faster, and strategical ways. In this conversation we had, we talk about 5 ways to increase your income. These 5 ways had to come with a decade of experience, losing a lot of money, making a lot of money, i

First things first…are you a fitness professional?   Cool, if so, you’re in for a treat with this brand new-hot off the George Foreman grill podcast episode with the 2019 NSCA Personal Trainer of the Year!   In this conversation, we got to sit down with Personal Trainer of the Year, Melody Schoenfeld, who is the sister of Brad Schoenfeld. Melody talks about her 20 plus years of experience being a personal trainer.   How she started, the ups and downs she’s faced, how you can become a successful personal trainer, and much more!   In This Episode, You Will also Learn:   The deliberate and intentional steps she took to become the personal trainer of the year     Her advice for a personal trainer wanting to open up their own gym and other alternatives     How being in the media a lot, doing community outreach, 20 years of experience, writing books, and publishing scientific research helped Melody become the personal trainer of the year      Melody’s thoughts and predictions on where she see’s the future of

Picture this… YOU PULL UP TO A GAS STATION, A GROUP OF MEN COME UP TO YOU, AND START BEATING THE LIVING SH$T OUT OF YOU BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN? You’re then smashed into the back seat of a cop car and being treated like dirt and taken to the police station and being wrongfully accused. You then spiral into a deep depression and end up homeless and living in a cardboard box. Years later, you then turn your life around and find yourself being mentored, coauthoring, and speaking on stage to thousands of people with the legendary, Tony Robbins! Now that is one hell of a story, if you ask me. We got to sit down with this inspiring and amazing human being, Joseph McClendon, and wanted to share his story and wisdom with you as well…   In This Episode, You Will Learn: Some of the KEY lessons he learned being mentored under Tony Robbins   How he almost LOST his life due to the color of his skin, being homeless, to then speaking & IMPACTING thousands of peoples lives on stage   Josephs IMPACTFUL 60/2

Is it cool if I share a quick story with you? When I first became a “Fit Pro” aka “Fitness Professional” over a decade ago, I thought I knew it all…SMH I thought I was an awesome fitness coach (personal trainer and online fitness coach) and I even had the nerve to think I was a savvy businessman…My dear lawd! I learned quickly that I was a very good fitness coach but a crappy businessman real fast. I had to rewire my brain to be a “fitness marketer” first and then a “fitness coach.” You see, too many fit pros have it the other way around and they end up losing a ton of business. As a fit pro you need to learn how to… Stand out from other fitness pros Grab prospect client’s attention And convert clients into Lifetime Valued Customers   Those are the 3 most important things to consider when becoming a fit pro and looking to create impact within the industry. Sadly, these tactics aren’t taught through exercise science or nutrition classes or even personal training certification organizations. Which makes

3 weeks ago, on my Birthday, I got the most valuable piece of advice I’ve gotten in a long time.  I had the honor to sit down with Grant Cardone and he said this to me:  “Be a Killer When it Comes to Closing Deals & Accomplishing your Goals in Life”  He went on to explain that too many people “just start things” but never awaken the KILLER INSTINCT inside of them and “finish the deal.”  I agree 100% because its easy to start things, but it’s a whole other animal to finish what you started.  I’ve asked 100’s of guests on our podcast this question “How do you get into your killer instinct mode?”  Because I want to know what makes them tick and get in that savage mode…like Michael Jordan did in the 4th quarter…like Tom Brady does with 2 minutes left.  Grants advice on awakening your killer instinct was some valuable advice that I will always remember and I wanted to share it with you.  In This Episode, You Will Learn :  The KEY ingredients to being a great salesman in todays society   How to reawaken the

I’m going to jump right into it because I don’t want to ruin this INCREDIBLE STORY. But what if I told you buying someone a year supply of black Chapstick led to being the TV host for the UFC? Pretty insane what kind of opportunities can arise through dynamic persistence, doing some research, and not taking “NO” for an answer. That’s why we sat down with Radio and TV Host, Speaker, Activist, and the talented, Kerri Kasem.  Kerri has a ton of experience in talk radio, morning radio, her own podcast, red carpet show with celebrities, and hosting for the UFC and MTV. She has an incredible must hear story on how she got her hosting spot with UFC, as well as her story on becoming an activist for her “Kasem Cares Foundation” where they prevent elderly abuse. Kerri is an all-around Rockstar, so we’re excited for you to get a nugget or two out of our conversation.  IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: • How she got into media and becoming a TV and Radio host for big time networks • The dynamic persistence of her

Ask Yourself This Question… ”What Does it Mean to YOU to Live a Dynamic Lifestyle?” Everyone is going to have a different answer and that’s the beautiful thing about asking this question. I’m all about living a dynamic lifestyle so that it increases your overall happiness and you truly tap into your own-unique gifts and talents. That’s why Chris and I wanted to get these 11 INFLUENTIAL entrepreneurs’ daily habits, morning and wind down routines, and lifestyle advice, that leads them to playing at their maximum potential each and every day and thus living a dynamic lifestyle! We asked the following 11 entrepreneurs: Chady Dunmore  Steve Sims  Felicia Romero  Chris Ducker  Molly Galbraith  Alex Mehr  Mindy Musselman  Emily Frisella James Swanwick  Jen Esquer  Philip Mckernan    In This Episode, You Will Learn: 1 INFLUENTIAL entrepreneurs’ success habits that lead them to living a DYNAMIC lifestyle   Their daily habits, unique routines, business tips, lifestyle advice, or lessons learned from entrepreneursh

Is it cool if I share a real story with you? I kid you not, I said F$*K my health and fitness and almost gave up on it. Back in 2013, when Chris and I competed in a bodybuilding show, we lost close to 50 pounds each, and post show, our hormones tanked, energy was down, confidence was low, and I wanted to quit on my health and fitness journey. I thought to myself when I hit rock bottom in my fitness journey, is this all really worth it? Luckily, I hired Eric Helms of 3DMJ, and he taught me the REF concept within exercise and nutrition. REF means…Realistic, Enjoyable, and Flexible. For the entrepreneur, busy professional, and high-performance business pro, time is always a factor when it comes to making health and fitness a priority. You see, if you can’t find a diet and exercise program that’s realistic, enjoyable, and flexible around your goals, personal preferences, lifestyle, and schedule, then you quite simply, won’t ever achieve the health and fitness results you’re looking for. Tune in as we go deep on t

I remember when I started hearing about UBER and LYFT, I was so stubborn and didn’t want to download the app. Part of it was because I didn’t want to be like everyone else talking about it, using it, and following the latest trend. But it wasn’t until I was stranded one night, I didn’t drive my car, my friends disappeared, it was too late to walk, and I wasn’t about to hitchhike…so I was forced to download the LYFT app, and the driver got me home safe and sound. From there, I was using LYFT and UBER on the regular. I’m telling you this story because I missed out on the HOTTEST trend due to my stubbornness and I don’t want you to do the same with the HOTTEST trend going on right now… The HOTTEST trend on the market today is the rise of coworking spaces. Think Wework, Spaces, and Blank Spaces, all amazing coworking spaces that are creating this HOT trend right now for small business owners, small companies, entrepreneurs, freelancers, etc. These coworking spaces are cool, fun, innovative, social, and are changi

Got a Serious question for ya… DO YOU SUFFER FROM ANXIETY? According to the ADAA (Anxiety and Depression Association of America), anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older, or 18.1% of the population every year. Harvard Medical School recently published a letter that showed for many patients dealing with depression, anxiety, or stress, yoga may be a very appealing way to better manage symptoms. Crazy stats, but it’s a serious thing going on in today’s society, and it could even get worse. This is exactly why we sat down with “Action Jacquelyn,” who helps people overcome anxiety with her yoga practices. Jacquelyn, also has an awesome story, as she used to be a Laker and Clipper girl, Ballerina, and suffered from anxiety and being disconnected. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How Yoga and Meditation helped her with anxiety and panic attacks and awareness   The importance of improving your relationships with time and no

“Let’s talk about sexy, baby.” I know you have heard that oldie but goodie song, by Salt-N-Pepa. In today’s society, still, talking about sex, is still looked at as a topic to not be open about or to scoot under the rug. Would you agree? That’s why we brought in Stefanos Sifandos and had a POWERFUL CONVERSATION around this topic. Stefanos has been immersed in deep men’s empowerment work and the exploration of intimate relationships, merging the best of eastern and western methodologies and philosophies to promote balance, sacredness and power in life and love. Using integrative techniques and methods, such as neural-empowerment, Stefanos has created programs, models and systems to enhance the quality of your life, your intimate relationships and in essence bring you closer to your potential. We discussed a whole host of topics with Stefanos to enhance the quality of your life…hence live a dynamic lifestyle
