Change Lives Make Money: The Podcast For Online Trainers

From self-doubt to unstoppable: this coach reveals how he finally broke through after months of self-sabotage 🔥 In this episode, I sit down with my client Max who went from having just 100 Instagram followers to consistently hitting $6.5K months and now traveling the world living his dream. But his journey wasn't the overnight success story you might expect. For the first 7-8 months in my program, Max was stuck in a cycle of self-sabotage - getting momentum for a month, then falling off for two. He'd stop asking questions, wouldn't attend coaching calls, and constantly let limiting beliefs derail his progress. The crazy part? He finally reveals what flipped the switch for him. We dive deep into the dangerous mindset trap of becoming "the biggest fish in a small pond" and why you need to constantly seek environments that challenge you to grow. The truth is, there are three levels to mindset development, and most coaches never make it past level two - but that third level is where the real magic happens. 🚀 Top Quotes: "You will not fucking fail if you don't quit, or if you quit, that's the only way you're ever gonna fail." (17:49) "I don't want to be the king of a small pond, I want to be the fucking king of the ocean." (14:05) "Level three, which I told you you need to get to, is I'm so fucking confident I'm going to be successful that nothing will fucking stop me.

Your mindset is the ultimate business strategy: see why 99% of coaches fail because of this one thing 🧠 In this episode, I'm breaking down the REAL difference between online coaches who crush it and those who stay stuck. I just came back from the Elite Mansion Mastermind event, and let me tell you — when two people follow the exact same blueprint but get completely different results, it all comes down to one thing: state management. I introduce you to two characters: Negative Nelly and Optimistic Oli. Both post content that gets 100 views. Both book sales calls that don't convert. But their REACTIONS to these identical circumstances create entirely different outcomes. One spirals into frustration while the other sees opportunity and keeps pushing forward. The game-changing mindset shift you'll learn in this episode will completely transform how you respond to setbacks, rejection, and the inevitable challenges of building your business. Because when you master your mental state, success becomes inevitable. 🔥 Top Quotes: "When two people walk the same pathway and one person gets the result and one person doesn't, it has nothing to do with the pathway and everything to do with the person." (9:04) "Do not seek what's true, seek what's useful." (4:22) "What makes the difference between somebody that succeeds and somebody that fails? I boiled it down to a very simple concept, and the concept is called state management."

Stuck in your fitness coaching business? This one mindset shift can unlock everything 🔑 In this episode, I'm going through rapid-fire coaching with my clients who are trying to scale their online fitness businesses. Whether you're making $5K, $10K, or pushing toward $100K per month, the same principles apply. One client was working harder than ever but seeing FEWER results. Another was stuck in social media doom-scrolling that was secretly stealing 2.5 hours of her day. And several others were making the classic mistake that's killing their growth potential. The truth is, most online coaches overcomplicate everything. They're constantly chasing new strategies when they should be doubling down on what's already working. Stop trying to "fix" what isn't broken and start optimizing the two things that actually move the needle: your time and your skills. Top Quotes: "We don't solve a problem that doesn't need to be solved. When shit's working, we keep doing the shit that's working." (41:46) "There's only two things you need to do... One, number one is optimize your time, which you've done. Number two is improve your skills. Those are the only two things that will get you to the next level." (37:03) "You can view social media as a consumer or a producer. I view social media as a producer. So when I go on social media, I'm very intentional."

To the warriors doing the work while no one's watching: I see you and your success is inevitable 👊 In this episode, I'm speaking directly to the real entrepreneurs who are in the arena right now - the ones grinding day in and day out to make their dreams a reality while everyone else sits on the sidelines. If you're feeling alone in your journey, putting in 10+ hour days behind your computer screen with nobody around you who truly understands the sacrifice, this one's for you. I know what it feels like to be the only one fighting for your vision. But I want you to remember why this journey is worth every struggle, every moment of overwhelm, and every sleepless night. When you help someone transform their body, you're not just changing their life - you're creating a ripple effect that impacts generations. The path of entrepreneurship can feel isolating, but you are not alone in this fight. And if you make the decision that no matter what adversity comes your way, you'll never surrender, never bend the knee, and never give up... your success isn't just possible, it's fucking inevitable. 🔥 Top Quotes: "I just want you to know that I see you. And I also want you to know that you're not alone." (1:00) "When you help somebody lose 50 pounds and they keep it off, and as a result of keeping it off, they pass down those habits to their kids. And because they made themselves healthier, now their kids are going to be healthier as a result." (2:48) "There is not a force on this planet that can stop you from achieving your goals."

Trapped in the hustle loop? Here's how to build a real business that scales to $100k per month 🔥 In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact business model that's helped 20 of my clients scale to over $100,000 a month as online fitness coaches. The truth is, most coaches are stuck in the hustle loop - growing their income only by working more hours and doing $4/hour tasks that keep them trapped. I reveal the "freedom formula" that shows you exactly what your business should look like at each revenue milestone - from the first three critical hires that help you escape the daily grind at $30K/month to the complete leadership structure that gives you unlimited freedom at $100K/month. This isn't theory - I show you exactly what positions to hire, how much to pay them, and how to train them properly. The best part? I don't just show you how to build the team - I reveal how to create unlimited leads through properly managed ad systems that deliver 3-4X return on ad spend. Because once you've got the right team handling your business, all you need to focus on is what actually matters: marketing and coaching. Top Quotes: "Your business will never build to 100k if you, as the CEO, are doing $4 an hour tasks. It'll never happen." (08:18) "Business is about knowing what problem to solve and what order to solve those problems in. You can solve the right problem in the wrong order, you still won't grow." (26:27) "At this level, you focus on what actually matters in your coaching business. Marketing and coaching. No matter what level you are at, these are the two things that you must become an absolute master at."

Can we talk about God? My honest thoughts on religion that might surprise you 🙏 In this episode, I'm getting vulnerable and sharing my personal journey with faith, spirituality, and religion in a way I've never done before. Growing up in an extremely religious household, I was baptized at six years old and followed strict rules about everything from what music I could listen to, to how I should dress. But as I've grown and evolved, my relationship with spirituality has transformed too. The truth is, I absolutely believe in a higher power - whether you call it God, the Universe, or universal consciousness. I just don't believe that love from this higher power comes with conditions attached. So if you've ever felt judged, shamed, or excluded because of religious beliefs, or if you're wrestling with your own spiritual identity right now, this conversation might be exactly what you need to hear. Because regardless of what path you're on, I believe there's room for all of us to coexist with unconditional love. Top Quotes: "I think we're here to express our most authentic self and for me to go to a church or to somewhere where you have to follow a set of rules… I just don't believe that we are placed on this earth to live by someone else's set of rules." (7:29) "I believe that we have a certain amount of time on this planet, from birth until death. And then, in that time horizon, I believe you either create your own heaven, or your own hell." (9:52) "I personally will say that my relationship with the universe is a one-on-one relationship. And I think that's all it ever needs to be.

The real difference between coaches stuck at $10K vs those making $100K a month 🔥 In this episode, I'm diving deep into what it really takes to be a winner in this industry - especially when everything around you is falling apart. Because winning is easy when your content's hitting, your clients love you, and life's in momentum. But what about when your Instagram gets restricted, your content stops performing, and clients are dropping like flies? That's when most fitness coaches get caught in a vicious cycle. The situation sucks, you focus on everything that's not working, which leads you to notice more problems, which creates even more negativity - and suddenly you're spiraling. But there's a fundamental difference between those who stay stuck and those who break through to the next level. The truth is, when you're in a place where nothing's working, you have to be delusional enough to believe that everything is going to turn around and that it's right around the corner. You have to convince yourself that you're just three feet from gold when all evidence suggests otherwise. Because that level of unshakeable belief is what separates the $10K coaches from the $100K coaches - they always find a way to win, no matter what life throws at them. Top Quotes: "The people that make 100k a month, they always find a way to fucking win. It's really that simple." (3:04) "Being a winner is fucking hard because when you're in a place where nothing's working, you have to be delusional enough to believe that everything is going to turn around and that it's right around the corner." (3:38) "It doesn't matter how many times I've got the door slammed on my face. It doesn't matter how many times I need to post on social media to be successful. It doesn't matter how many years I've put into Instagram. I fucking promise you, I am going to win."

The brutal truth about why your fitness coaching business is stuck at $10K/month 🔥 In this episode, I'm opening up the doors to my exclusive Tanking Mastermind coaching call, where my clients making $5,000 to $25,000 per month are asking the real questions that could 10X their businesses. And I'm not holding anything back. What's the difference between the fitness coaches crushing it at $20K, $50K, or even $100K per month versus those stuck at $10K? It's not just about working harder - it's about identifying the critical levers you should be pulling RIGHT NOW versus the ones you're wasting time on. From why your content quality directly impacts your client quality, to why your calendar actually determines your income potential, to the uncomfortable conversation about why you need to burn the ships and go all in - we're covering the strategies that separate the top 1% from everyone else. Because the truth is, if you're not willing to make the hard choices now, you'll keep kicking that can down the road forever. Top Quotes: "If you go viral with your content and you figure out exactly what to do with your content, everything else in your business is an easier problem to solve." (2:01) "I will not fucking stop until I hit my targets. And I think if every single one of you guys embodied that, you would all be massively successful." (25:54) "When you respect your time, so will other people. I respect my time. I don't waste it. I don't spend it on things that shouldn't be spent it on. And if I do have extra time, I spend it on me."

Are you killing your business by refusing to take breaks? Here's the brutal truth about entrepreneurial burnout 😴 In this episode, I'm calling out all the high-achieving fitness coaches who schedule their days back-to-back-to-back and push themselves to the breaking point. I share a raw moment from today when I was completely exhausted but still had a filming session scheduled on my calendar. What happened next taught me a powerful lesson about managing energy rather than just managing time. The truth is, the way you show up and the energy you bring to your work matters more than you think. When you're constantly pushing without rest, you're not showing up as your best self - you're just going through the motions. If you find yourself burning out after weeks of grinding, this episode is your wake-up call. I break down why sometimes the most productive thing you can do is take a break, even when your calendar says otherwise. Because in this game of entrepreneurship, your state of mind is the most important asset you have. Top Quotes: "When you're playing this game of being an entrepreneur, the most important thing that you need to manage is your state. And you need to manage your energy, and you need to make sure that you keep yourself in a good place." (2:29) "Just because you can put yourself to the breaking point every single day does not mean you should." (4:12) "If you show up with really good, positive energy, on a day-to-day basis, magical things happen without a lot of effort, and if you show up with this burnt-out, tired, stressed-out, overwhelmed energy, then all the things that you're trying to do actually get harder."

Want to know the real reason you're losing attraction to your partner? It's time for some uncomfortable honesty 💯 In this episode of Monday with the Marks, Kirsten and I get raw about what really keeps attraction alive in long-term relationships. We pull back the curtain on our own journey - from what initially drew us together to the brutal moments when we've both lost attraction to each other. If you've ever felt that spark fading with your partner but didn't know how to fix it, this conversation is your wake-up call. The truth is, most couples avoid these uncomfortable discussions until it's too late, ending up as roommates instead of lovers. We share exactly how to have those difficult conversations before your relationship reaches the point of no return. What's mind-blowing is how attraction evolves over time - from the superficial qualities that first catch your eye to the deeper connection that keeps you coming back years later. The good news? You can reignite that flame if you're willing to be honest with yourself and your partner about what's really going on. Top Quotes: "I think integrity and backing your words with actual action is a very attractive quality. Imagine me saying I'm gonna work on myself and be at the gym every morning and then I just kept doing the exact same thing. That's just not an attractive quality." (6:50) "If you're listening to this right now and you're in a relationship where you've lost attraction, literally have the conversation. If you don't, then it's only going to get worse and you're going to get more disconnected to a point where it's unfixable." (10:50) "I think you deserve to feel attracted to your partner and your partner deserves to feel attracted to you."

Trapped in the hustle loop? Here's why you can't scale past $15k months 🔄 In this episode, I'm exposing the invisible ceiling that's keeping your fitness coaching business stuck at $10-15k months. Even though you've mastered client attraction and delivery, there's a hidden trap that almost every coach falls into when trying to scale - and it's costing you tens of thousands every month. I break down exactly why working harder isn't the answer and why most coaches are literally doing the world a disservice by staying small. The truth is, this window of opportunity in the online coaching market won't last forever, and if you're already making $10k+ monthly, you're ahead of 99% of coaches out there. The real breakthrough comes when you understand how to multiply your impact through others. When you do the math (which I'll show you), the difference between a $15k month and a $100k month isn't about working 10x harder - it's about learning a completely different approach to your business. One that feels uncomfortable at first but leads to both more money AND more freedom on the other side. Top Quotes: "You're constantly bouncing from task to task to task in your business, and as a result, you're never able to scale past $10,000, $15,000, $20,000 a month. That's called the hustle loop." (01:46) "If you're making $10,000 to $15,000 a month right now, and you're not scaling, you are doing the world a disservice." (04:07) "I would rather take my car, drive it off a bridge, swim to the bottom of the ocean. I hate that. I don't want to be here if I'm not growing and pushing myself."

Are you willing to do whatever the fuck it takes to break through your income plateau? 🔥 In this episode, I'm calling out all the fitness coaches who say they want to hit $15K months but aren't willing to do what's necessary to get there. During my 10K Mastermind coaching calls, I reveal the only mindset that actually matters when you're trying to level up your business. You'll hear me drop some hard truth bombs about everything from pricing strategy to the dangers of working with your significant other. But the most powerful moment comes when I break down exactly how simple it is to go from $10K to $15K months - it's just basic math and four words that most coaches aren't willing to embrace. If you're tired of being stuck at the same income level month after month, this episode is your wake-up call. The gap between where you are and where you want to be is smaller than you think, but only if you're ready to adopt the mindset of doing whatever the fuck it takes to get there. Top Quotes: "I don't get involved in business with my significant other, okay? That's my rule. And the reason for that is because if anything ever goes south with my significant other, now it's a fucking problem." (32:05) "When we're done work, whatever happened at work has to stay at work. Which basically means, if there's ever anything that happened at work that's stressful, that has to stay at work." (35:20) "Whatever the fuck it takes, write that down. That's the mindset. That's the only mindset."

When you're both having a bad day at the same time, who picks who up? 😬 In this episode, I'm getting real with you guys about what happens when both partners are down in the dumps at the same time. Between my Instagram getting restricted, constant travel, and Kirsten dealing with pregnancy nausea, we found ourselves in that rare situation where neither of us had the energy to lift the other up. I dive into the difference between masculine and feminine approaches to stress (my tendency to work more vs. taking a step back), and why it's impossible to be happy 100% of the time in any relationship. The real growth comes from learning how to coexist during those challenging moments when you're both at your worst. So if you and your partner struggle when you're both having a bad day, I'm giving you the raw truth about communication, creating space, and approaching each other with love when you're both running on empty. Because sometimes the strongest relationships aren't built on constant happiness – they're built on how you handle the moments when you're both grumpy AF. 🙌 Top Quotes: "The relationships that last are the ones that learn how to coexist in the moments where, because if I'm only happy 60% of the time and you're only happy 60% of the time, then what are we doing in that crossover?" (02:19) "That's the difference between the masculine and the feminine. For me the masculine answer is work more work more work more. And the solution is like more feminine, like fucking relax, bro. Like take a fucking step back and just breathe." (06:59) "If I'm really stressed out, I try my best to like, tell her 'I'm super fucking overwhelmed right now'... Because if you don't communicate, this is where I'm at right now. And then all of a sudden you just fucking snap over nothing, which can happen easily."

Are you burning the candle at both ends? The hidden cost of entrepreneurial hustle ⚠️ In this episode, I'm getting real about my recent burnout and the chaos that followed. After weeks of non-stop travel, speaking events, and high-pressure sales situations, I hit a wall - physically, mentally, and energetically. What followed wasn't just internal exhaustion, but external manifestations too (hello, restricted Instagram account!). The entrepreneurial hustle culture glorifies grinding 24/7, but I'm calling BS on that mentality. Because the truth is, none of us are robots. That momentum you're desperately trying to maintain? It might be the very thing holding you back from your next level of success. I'm breaking down exactly how I recognized my burnout, what it cost me, and the simple shift that helped me get back on track. If you're feeling that weight on your chest and cloudy thinking that comes with pushing too hard for too long, this episode is your permission slip to decompress without guilt. Top Quotes: "You're not a robot. And you need to take time to decompress. And the time that you think that you're taking away from your business, aka recharging your energy, is actually the very same thing that's going to catapult your business to the next level of success." (4:38) "I'm a very powerful person. Positive and negative. And so are you. You're a very powerful person. Positive and negative. And the energy that I devote usually is, this is the best fucking day of my life." (1:56) "Sometimes that roadblock that you're facing, all you need to do is take a step back. And just breathe. Decompress. And then you realize, all you gotta do is take two steps to the right and you can just walk straight past the roadblock with no problems."

When Instagram blocks your account: how to keep growing with follower ads 🚀 In this raw and tactical episode, I'm breaking down exactly what happened when Instagram restricted my account from reaching non-followers for an entire year. Because here's the truth: when you're getting 10.7-14 million views per month and suddenly lose 50% of your reach, you need a backup plan. From calculating your exact cost per acquisition to determining the perfect targeting strategy, I'm revealing my complete framework for using follower ads to maintain growth even when Instagram tries to shut you down. Plus, I share why you shouldn't even consider running these ads unless you're already at $5-10k/month. Top Quotes: "I'm a big believer in universal energy... when I feel good, good shit happens. And when I don't feel good, bad shit happens." (0:48) "If I spend $28, I get 28 followers. I'm going to book one sales call out of that... I need to get six calls booked, which means I need to start about 168 conversations to get one sale." (6:45) "I wouldn't even consider running a follower ad unless you were doing five to ten thousand dollars a month... Once you're at five to 10k month, I think it's a fucking necessity."

From handling international payment issues to scaling DM conversations, we're tackling the real challenges that come with growing an online fitness business. Because here's the truth: success leaves clues. When you see one of my clients go from 200 to 3,000 followers in just a few months, or wake up to a $5k pay-in-full client, it's not luck - it's strategy. And in this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what's working right now. Top Quotes: "I follow the 80-20 rule... So 80% of the time I do a certain thing and I break the rule for 20% of the time." (1:13:50) "If you solve this problem, you're gonna book more calls... I can smell it, I just need to solve this one problem." (1:15:07) "The universe is testing you... I love this. Okay, cool.

How to handle haters and negative energy without losing your cool 💪 In this raw and unfiltered episode, I'm sharing a recent encounter with racism at my local grocery store and breaking down exactly how I chose to respond. Because here's the truth: there will always be negative people trying to bring you down, but YOU get to decide how their energy affects you. From dealing with internet trolls to handling in-person confrontations, I'm revealing my strategy for maintaining composure and not letting other people's negativity derail your success. Plus, my wife Kirsten joins me to share her (slightly more aggressive) perspective on handling haters. Top Quotes: "I get to decide how I'm going to show up. Always. And I get to decide how I'm going to respond. Regardless of what anybody says to me about anything ever, I'm just going to maintain my composure." (13:29) "Nothing comes from those back and forth 'I'm right, you're wrong' conversations. If the other person doesn't have the awareness about what they did... nothing is going to come from those conversations." (14:01) "If it's not getting you closer to your goals, why are you participating in it?"

The secret weapon to 75M views that nobody's talking about: Instagram Trial Reels 🚀 In this tactical episode, I'm breaking down why Trial Reels might be the biggest opportunity on Instagram right now that most creators are sleeping on. Fresh from Nashville where I just spoke at Adley's event, I learned something that completely changed my perspective on this "practice" feature. Because here's the truth: Trial Reels aren't just practice - they're a backdoor to reaching millions of non-followers without risking your main feed's performance. From my friend Brendan hitting 500k views in 24 hours to Adley gaining 40k followers in a month, I'm sharing exactly why you need to start taking this seriously. Top Quotes: "Trial reels gives you an opportunity to basically post double on social media with no negative feedback... if you're not posting on trial reels, honestly, at this point, I think you're fucking up." (2:49) "Sometimes something that I think is complete ass cheeks ends up going viral. So you can't ever pre-decide what's good and what's not. I believe you just have to post content." (5:34) "If you're new to posting on social media... should you really worry about trial reels? No, just post content on your fucking page. Get consistent first, then get good."

Inside the mind of winners: client success stories and mindset shifts 🏆 In this special Podchats episode, I'm sitting down with my clients to dive deep into their wins, challenges, and breakthrough moments. From reading The Master Key System to landing multiple inbound leads after a mindset shift, we're exploring what it really takes to level up your business and your life. Because here's the truth: success starts with your internal world. When you start showing up like a winner and truly believing in yourself, everything changes - from random compliments in the grocery store to consistent $30k months. But to scale beyond that? You need systems. Top Quotes: "I feel like I've been working so hard... but working against myself in my head. What if for the rest of the month, I just focused on my internal world and just fucking felt like a winner, showed up like a winner?" (0:00:33) "This isn't a consistency issue. This isn't a leads issue. This is a systems issue. Your systems aren't established to be able to build a 20,000 to 30,000 a month business consistently." (1:16:14) "When you join the Millionaire Mastermind, it's so that you can build your team. And the reason that you'd want to build your team is that you can build a scalable business."

Plus, I reveal why most people get stuck at $25k/month and what it really takes to break through that ceiling. Top Quotes: "If you can master these 3 elements, you'll be successful in any business. It doesn't matter what business you're in." (00:50) "The first level is to get you started. The middle level is to basically become financially free... And then the third level is to actually buy back your freedom." (12:42) "Most people, when they go to hire team members, try to do it themselves and they fuck it up... They have no idea how to lead, no idea how to train, no idea how to build this person into their culture."

The dark side of entrepreneurship nobody talks about: raw and unfiltered 😤 In this vulnerable episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the mental battles that come with being an entrepreneur - the weight of responsibility, the constant pressure to perform, and the relentless grind that most people don't see. Because while I'm grateful AF for my success, there's a darker side to "being your own boss" that nobody warns you about. From supporting 60 team members and 2,000 clients to taking care of my family and grandmother's bills, I'm sharing what it really feels like to have everything riding on your shoulders. Because success doesn't care about your feelings - you either show up and do the work, or everything falls apart. Top Quotes: "Your audience doesn't care about the emotion that you're feeling. They're online, and whoever's posting the content, whoever's in front their face, whoever's marketing to them, is the one they pay attention to." (8:38) "You have to be willing to walk that uncharted path with a fucking ferocious intensity that refuses to be stopped. And if you're not willing to do that, don't even start." (10:32) "There are some days that I'm gonna wake up and I'm literally gonna feel like I'm literally an absolute animal... And there's some days I'm gonna wake up and I barely have the energy to get out of bed. And regardless of how I feel... I'm just gonna show up and I'm gonna do the fucking work."

Dear Uncle Jerermy: a message about authenticity and speaking your truth 🎯 In this spicy episode, I'm addressing the elephant in the room - a certain sales coach who's been using my content for the past year while pretending not to know who I am. From reaction videos to running ads with my face in them, it's time to set the record straight about authenticity in the online space. Because here's the truth: too many people blindly follow "gurus" with big followings without questioning their methods. Whether it's a sketchy sales objection technique or a condescending attitude, I'm done staying quiet when I see something I disagree with. It's time to speak up and keep it real. Top Quotes: "Don't just blindly fucking follow advice. I didn't get to the level that I'm at right now by blindly accepting every piece of advice I got put in front of me on the internet." (5:20) "People are too afraid to fucking say what's on their mind because they don't want to stir the pot or come off controversial... Who gives a fuck? Say what's on your mind and stop being afraid to speak your opinion." (5:32) "Dear Uncle Jerermy, please keep posting my content. Cause it's clear to me that you are getting value from my videos. Cause my face helps you go viral. So you're welcome."

Are your Instagram views down? Here's what to do instead of panicking 📱 In this tactical episode, I'm breaking down why your content might not be hitting like it used to and exactly what to do about it. Because here's the truth: this happens twice a year like clockwork, and if you're not willing to adapt, you'll die (just ask Blockbuster 👋). From my 12 years of experience posting on social media to what I'm doing right now to pivot my content strategy, I'm showing you how to stay ahead of the algorithm instead of becoming its victim. Plus, I'm revealing the exact numbers behind why you're leaving money on the table if you're not boosting posts at $10k+ months. Top Quotes: "When it comes to business, when it comes to content, when it comes to DMs, when it comes to sales, when it comes to all of it, at all points in time, you must be able to adapt or die." (2:03) "The amount of effort, the amount of output that I put out never changes... However, the things that I'm putting out are always going to change based on what I'm seeing on the Instagram algorithm." (12:38) "If you are not boosting posts and you have money, aka 10 to 20k a month, you're fucking baked... I'm not just gonna pray to the Instagram gods that my content pops off."

Either quit or fully commit: a wake-up call for struggling entrepreneurs 💯 In this raw and unfiltered episode, I'm speaking directly to those of you who feel like giving up on your dreams. If you're noticing all the things that aren't working - the no-show calls, the refund requests, the content that's not hitting - and feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders, this message is for you. Because here's the truth: you can't live in the middle. You're either going to quit and go back to your 9-5, or you're going to fully commit to finding solutions instead of focusing on problems. The choice is yours, but staying in that middle ground where you're working hard while speaking limitation over your life is a guaranteed path to failure. Top Quotes: "I'm a firm believer that the words we speak create the reality that we live in... if you're working on your business but putting forth negative energy towards your business, you're just going to create more despair." (2:15) "Full commitment means you stop bitching about the little things... I am so committed to achieving my goals that I will not let a single word escape my mouth that would be a detriment to them." (4:25) "The only way you get to that level where everything you touch turns to gold... is you make the decision that you are fully fucking committed and you will never speak limitation over your life ever again. Period."

Whatever it takes: the raw truth about entrepreneurial sacrifice 😤 In this unfiltered episode recorded after a 12-hour workday, I'm breaking down what "whatever it takes" really means when building a 6-figure business. From my conversation with a VIP client about sacrificing family time to hit $100k months, to filming 50 videos while exhausted, I'm showing you the reality of what's required to level up. Because here's the truth: most people want entrepreneurial success but aren't willing to make the sacrifices necessary to get there. If you think you can clock in and clock out like an employee while building an empire, this wake-up call is for you. Top Quotes: "Too many fucking people come into entrepreneurship with the mindset that they're going to work for a certain amount of hours. And then when those certain amount of hours are done, then they're done." (1:53) "I never count the cost... Because I'll do whatever it takes to have the life of my dreams. " (7:20) "Work ethic by itself is not the whole equation because I know a lot of entrepreneurs that work their ass off and they're broke as fuck because they're not doing the work that's required to level up their skills."

The balance between support and accountability: real talk with my wife about tough love 💑 In this raw and unfiltered episode, Kirsten and I are diving deep into one of the most important aspects of any relationship - knowing when to support your partner and when to call them out. From my straggly beard phase to the conversation that sparked a major change, we're sharing how to have those difficult but necessary conversations that lead to growth. Because here's the truth: most relationships fail because people aren't willing to say what's really on their mind. Whether it's friendships or romantic partnerships, learning to balance unconditional support with honest accountability is the key to helping each other level up. Top Quotes: "As a partner, I think we have a responsibility on two aspects... I'm here for you, you're my support system. And also, when you're letting yourself go and not showing up as your very best, I think it's my responsibility to be like 'hey, what the fuck is going on here?'" (2:43) "Something that Brian and I do that really helps with our communication is this one small question: 'Do you want advice right now or do you want me to just listen?'" (18:21) "Most relationships struggle because most partners aren't willing to say what the fuck is on their mind to the other person... instead of having that hard conversation, they'll just bitch to other friends about that friend."

How to turn cold leads into $1,000 clients in 30 days (without being sleazy) 💰 In this tactical episode, I'm breaking down the biggest mistakes I see online trainers making when trying to convert leads - from sliding into strangers' DMs with pitches to not nurturing their audience properly. Because here's the truth: if you're trying to sell to everyone who breathes on your profile, you're doing it wrong. Instead, I'm giving you my proven 5-step framework for turning cold leads into paying clients the right way. From launching a free 14-day challenge to my exact DM scripts that actually work, I'm showing you how to build authentic relationships that lead to sales. Because when you focus on providing value first, the sales naturally follow. Top Quotes: "My definition of a stranger on social media is somebody that you have no previous relationship with. So they've never interacted with your content, you've never interacted with their content, and the first thing that you send them is a pitch... I literally block people that do this to me." (1:15) "When somebody comes to your profile on social media and they engage with your content, that's them telling you that they're lightly interested in what you have to offer... That is the first sign of a potential client." (2:01) "Sometimes it takes two, three, four, five touch points for somebody to actually be serious enough to want to work with you as an online coach... The fortune is in the follow up."

Why funnels are fucking stupid (and what to focus on instead) 🎯 In this no-BS episode, I'm breaking down why most business coaches are dead wrong about needing fancy marketing funnels to grow your online fitness business. Because here's the truth: I built my business to $1M/month without ever touching a funnel, and I've got multiple coaches in my Million Dollar Mastermind doing $100k+ months the same way. From understanding what people actually want when they're scrolling social media to the simple system that will take you to $25k/month without complicated tech, I'm giving you the straightforward path to scaling your business. Because if you're making less than $25k/month and focusing on anything other than organic social media growth, you're making this way harder than it needs to be. Top Quotes: "Human beings that are scrolling social media are scrolling to be entertained... We're not scrolling through social media with the intention of buying some shit. That's usually not what happens." (1:26) "The most effective way to grow your business to $25,000 a month is taking out your phone, recording a video, posting it on social media, getting somebody in the DMs, booking a sales call with them, converting them into a client, and putting them into your community. Period." (6:13) "If you're gonna spend money, I don't think you spend money on building an email campaign, or building a website, or building a funnel. I think you spend money on hiring people to help you with your current system - hiring a virtual assistant, hiring a coach, hiring a community manager."

Live from Mexico: Real talk with my PT Dom clients about mindset, growth, and transitions 🌴 In this special edition of Podchats recorded from Mexico, I'm opening up the floor to my $5k-$25k/month clients for an unfiltered Q&A session. From navigating the uncomfortable "in-between" phase of growth to gracefully transitioning out of a long-term job, we're diving deep into the real challenges successful entrepreneurs face. Plus, I'm dropping a major announcement about Ascension Week and a chance to win a VIP half-day session with me and Cole. If you're ready to learn directly from coaches who are in the trenches making it happen, this episode is your masterclass in what it really takes to level up. Top Quotes: "Here's the truth - you never actually arrive. Everybody is seeking this final destination where everything they do is like 'oh I'm living my dream life right now.' Even for me, don't get me wrong, I'm very fucking grateful, but there are moments throughout my day where I'm not where I want to be." (2:57) "Everybody can have an opinion, but if the king of the castle likes you and vouches for you, that will be the overarching weight of everybody else." (1:06:48) "I'm really connected to my why... but I still catch myself letting the external world get in my head. I know I need to believe it before I see it."

You don't actually want this sh*t: the raw truth about entrepreneurship 😤 In this unfiltered episode recorded after a 14-hour workday, I'm calling out all the "manifestation hippies" who think building a million-dollar business is about good vibes and 4-hour workdays. Because here's the reality: everyone wants the outcome of having a successful business - the money, the freedom, the lifestyle - but almost nobody is willing to put in the actual work required to get there. From sacrificing your weekends to never being able to "call in sick," I'm breaking down the real cost of entrepreneurship that nobody talks about. Because if you're looking for shortcuts or trying to turn this into a "side hobby," you need to hear this wake-up call before you waste your time. Top Quotes: "If you want to grow a business that makes $50,000, $100,000, $500,000, a million dollars a month... everybody says that they want it but nobody actually realizes the amount of work that goes in on the back end of having that business." (1:24) "For those people that are actually willing to put in the work, day after day after day, without ever counting the cost... on the other side of that is financial freedom. On the other side of that is you retiring your mom." (6:29) "Trent Harrison, been in my coaching program for five years, posted every single day for the last five years, went from 7,000 followers to 1.1 million. It's really fucking simple. He followed the formula. Work your ass off, never miss."

I am not my thoughts: a powerful mindset shift for entrepreneurs 🧠 In this raw and personal episode, Kirsten and I are sharing a powerful mindset breakthrough we had while dealing with morning sickness during her pregnancy. From reframing negative self-talk to understanding the difference between experiencing something and identifying with it, we're diving deep into how changing your relationship with your thoughts can transform your entire reality. Whether you're struggling with self-doubt, anxiety, or just feeling stuck in negative thought patterns, this episode will give you practical tools to take back control of your mind. Because here's the truth: you are not your thoughts - you are the one observing them. Top Quotes: "When I overcame my addiction, I had to disassociate myself from my thoughts... I had to realize that just because I'm thinking something doesn't mean that's who I am." (3:19) "You can be 'I am powerful', 'I am worthy', 'I am deserving'... you can literally attach the 'I am' to anything. And so choosing to attach that 'I am' to 'I am anxious', 'I am sad' - you are literally robbing yourself of your own power." (15:24) "Anyone can say anything. Someone who despises themselves can say 'I love myself' over and over. At the end of the day, the feeling has to change, because the feeling is going to be the thing that makes you actually feel good."

Stop being the "tip guy": why most fitness creators fail on social media 🎯 In this masterclass episode, I'm breaking down the three secrets to successful content creation and why most creators fail to stand out online. The hard truth? Being good at fitness isn't enough - this is a marketing game, and the best marketer wins. Period. I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly how I went from sucking at content for 6 years to building a $500,000/month business, and more importantly, how you can avoid making the same mistakes I did. Because here's the reality: if you're just posting workout tips and macro calculations, you're blending in with every other fitness creator out there. From understanding what social media platforms are actually for (hint: it's not selling) to the 50-50 rule that will transform your content strategy, I'm giving you my complete playbook for standing out in a crowded market. Top Quotes: "Online training is a game where the best marketer wins. Period. It isn't about your level of skill. It isn't about your level of experience. You are the best marketer, and you get the most clients, or you don't." (1:43) "Nobody is going to go spend thousands and thousands of dollars on the tip guy or the tip girl, when they could literally get all that information from Chat GPT. People are going to pay you money because they like the person that you are." (56:10) "Unless you are entertaining people, you are going to blend in with a sea of nobodies. And I see a lot of online fitness coaches that struggle to grow their coaching business because they are not entertaining people."

Why I started posting 6 times a day (and why you probably shouldn't) 📱 In this tactical episode, I'm breaking down exactly how I scaled my Instagram from 0 to 340,000 followers and why I recently made the decision to post 6 times per day. But here's the truth: this strategy isn't for everyone. I'm showing you the step-by-step progression that took me from posting once per day to where I am now, and more importantly, when YOU should (and shouldn't) increase your posting frequency. From building the right team to free up your time to ensuring your content quality doesn't drop with increased volume, I'm giving you my complete playbook for scaling your social media presence the right way. Because here's the reality: posting more only works if you've mastered the fundamentals first. Top Quotes: "I think that's where a lot of online fitness coaches struggle is you never actually make the commitment that you want to get better at content. You're just posting because most of you guys come into this game of entrepreneurship without ever posting on social media." (1:34) "Once you can do this and every piece of content that you post is good - and my definition of good is people are saying it's good, they're engaging with it, they're watching, they're sharing, they're liking, they're commenting - your account is growing at that point. Then I would consider increasing the volume." (5:24) "If you're making 10 to $20,000 a month and you don't have people working for you, you're fucking up because it's impossible for you to post 3 to 5 times a day if you've got all of the other things that you need to do in your business."

We just don't sleep until the call's booked. That actually creates urgency to get it done faster. Because you want to go to bed." (0:51) "You're giving lots of value. But bro, like, you've got people that want to book already. So fucking book the call."

(11:57) "You can take all the supplements you want in the world, but if you aren't supplementing your mind with positive talk... you're just gonna continue to keep yourself stuck." (12:04) "Both of us were doing everything in our power to make it happen... neither one of us was acting discouraged or upset every month. We were both just like, 'It'll happen when it's supposed to happen.'"

Stop letting "I need to think about it" steal your sales: the ultimate objection-crushing framework 💰 In this tactical episode, I'm breaking down exactly how to handle the most common objection you'll face on sales calls - "I need to think about it." But here's the truth: this isn't actually an objection at all. It's a smokescreen hiding their real concerns, and I'm showing you my proven framework for uncovering and crushing the real objection underneath. Plus, I'm dropping a major announcement about my upcoming book "The 10 Million Dollar Instagram Final Blueprint" - 70,000 words of pure value coming your way in the next three months. This episode is just a tiny preview of what's inside. Top Quotes: "First things first understand that when the prospect says I need to think about it, that's not an actual objection. It's a smokescreen covering up whatever their real objection is." (1:38) "I'm closing about 50 to 60 percent of the calls that I get on. And when my sales guys get on calls they're closing about 35 to 40 percent." (1:12) "If you make the decision to join today and we work together for the next 12 weeks, and you do everything I tell you to do and you don't lose the 20 pounds that we talked about in this coaching call, I will send you a full refund of every dollar that you paid."

The two types of content that actually make you money on social media 💰 In this tactical episode, I'm breaking down the only two types of content that matter for growing your business: awareness content and conversion content. While most creators focus on just one or the other, I'm showing you exactly how to use both to build a profitable social media presence that actually generates revenue. From crafting viral awareness posts that get millions of views to creating high-converting content that turns followers into customers, I'm giving you my complete content strategy playbook. Because here's the truth: you need both types to succeed, and I'll show you the perfect ratio to implement in your business. Top Quotes: "If you only post awareness-based content, you'll grow, but you won't sign customers. And this is why I get a lot of influencers that will come to me, and they're broke, and they're not making any money." (8:46) "The intention behind awareness-based content is simply one word and it is exposure. When Clueless Summit came out with his talking head reels, these are awareness-based pieces of content." (0:57) "I would say you need a 50-50 combination of awareness-based content and conversion-based content if you want to grow in social media and grow a business that makes money."

(00:24) "I've been on hundreds of these calls, brother, and I know for a fact that if you hang up the phone without taking any action, the likelihood that you fully commit to your goals and lose that 20 pounds comes down to one in 10." (08:42) "If they hang up the phone without giving you a deposit, the likelihood of that prospect closing goes down to a one in 10. You have to get some sort of financial commitment."

Lock the f*** in: why you're not seeing results (and what to do about it) 🔥 In this fired-up episode, I'm sharing the raw truth about what it really takes to succeed in this game. Fresh off writing a 70,000-word book in just 5 days and securing a publisher within a week, I'm breaking down why "locking in" has been the secret behind every major move in my business - from launching Change Lives Academy to scaling to 1,800 active clients.

It's about being willing to cut out all the distractions, invest in yourself, and do whatever the fuck it takes to reach that next level.

Top Quotes: "There's so many things that you guys want to do, that you're on the fence about that you've thought about for maybe months, years on end. And the only reason you're not doing it is because you haven't locked in." (1:46) "Locking in doesn't just mean you hire the mentor. Locking in means you hire the mentor and you do the fucking work." (6:37) "There's no fucking secret to success. There's no blueprint. There's no magic trick. There's no fairy dust. I post six times a day every day, seven days a week on social media. That's called locked in."

But don't worry - I'm also sharing my six-step blueprint for building instant authority on Instagram. Whether you're just starting out or looking to level up your social presence, I'm breaking down exactly how to optimize every element of your profile - from your username to your bio CTA. Because here's the truth: you only get one chance at a first impression, and your Instagram profile needs to scream "expert," not "amateur." Top Quotes: "If you look like a creep on social media, no wonder nobody's reaching back out to you. It should be clear. It should be you smiling. You should look good." (00:05) "Think of your username as your brand's billboard. It needs to be easy to remember, search friendly and niche focused." (01:51) "If you're inconsistent with your social media efforts, your clients aren't going to want to hire you because they don't even trust you to show up for them on social media for free."

Not all leads are created equal: mastering the art of lead temperature 🔥 In this tactical episode, I'm breaking down exactly how to assess and handle different types of leads in your online fitness business. Because here's the truth: treating every prospect the same way is killing your conversion rates. By understanding the crucial factors of response time and message length, you'll know exactly how to nurture cold leads, convert warm leads, and close hot leads. I'm sharing my proven framework for categorizing leads and the exact questions you need to ask to move prospects through your funnel. From relationship-building with cold leads to booking immediate calls with hot prospects, you'll learn how to maximize every opportunity that comes your way. Top Quotes: "With hot leads that are responding fast and giving you longer responses, do not waste time. Book a call immediately. The worst thing you can do with a hot lead is treat them like a cold lead and take a long time to get back to them." (4:44) "You have to understand that this person is very interested in working with you, otherwise they wouldn't be sending you paragraphs." (5:12) "You need to show people as you're generating leads that you care more about them than you do about their money."

Drawing from my journey of scaling to $50K months and helping thousands of coaches do the same, I'm exposing the critical elements most "how to" videos miss. Because let's be real - following random YouTube advice isn't going to cut it. You need a tested, proven system that actually works in 2024. Top Quotes: "Anyone who books a phone call with you is interested in purchasing, otherwise they wouldn't book the call... They could've just ghosted you, they could've just canceled, they could've just blocked you on social media." (23:01) "We don't view these as sales calls. We view these as fitness assessments. Which means that on the call, you need to spend significantly less time talking about how awesome your product is, and spend way more time talking about your prospects' pain points." (23:43) "We don't intend to sell, we intend to serve. It's your responsibility to make them an offer because you know that you can help them transform."

Your goals are too small and it's holding you back from greatness 🚀 In this fired-up episode, I'm calling out every single one of you who's playing small with your goals. After a gym session with one of my long-time clients who was "hoping" to hit 10K followers by the end of the month, I had to check him - why not hit it by next week? Because the truth is, your biggest failure in life isn't setting a massive goal and missing... it's setting a small goal and hitting it. I'm breaking down exactly why most people never achieve extraordinary things (hint: they never aim for them), and sharing how I went from thinking $10 million was impossible to hitting $1 million months back-to-back-to-back. Because if a former drug addict from a trailer park can do it, what's your excuse? Top Quotes: "The biggest mistake that men or women make is not setting a goal that's too big and failing. The biggest mistake that men or women make is setting a goal that's too small and then hitting it."

The future of online fitness coaching is brighter than ever - here's why 🚀 In this data-driven episode, I'm breaking down exactly why online fitness coaching isn't just a trend - it's a massive opportunity that's only getting bigger. With obesity rates projected to hit 50% by 2030 and Instagram growing to 3 billion users, the demand for real human coaches is about to explode. I'm sharing shocking statistics about the current state of health in North America and revealing why AI and automation will actually INCREASE the value of personal coaching. Because while robots can deliver workout plans, they can't provide the human connection and accountability that transforms lives. Top Quotes: "According to the CDC, 42% of adults are classified as obese. Child obesity is also staggering at 20%. That's fucking insane. When we think about that versus 1950... we're talking about 10% of America was obese." (1:24) "People are not going to want to get their program from a fuckingrobot because a robot is not going to pat them on the back when they're doing a good job. A robot is not going to encourage them when they're falling off track." (9:18) "The future of online coaching is fucking bright. And it's going to be even brighter for the people that are listening to this podcast episode right now that make the decision that they're going to start going all in on their personal brand."
