From med school dropout to million-dollar fitness empire: Trent's incredible journey 🚀 In this episode, I'm sitting down with one of my OG clients, Trent Trizleman, to break down his insane transformation from struggling med student to online fitness mogul. We're talking 920,000 Instagram followers, a top 15 podcast in the USA, and $220,000 in monthly revenue. But it wasn't always private jets and Lambos for Trent. Back in 2019, he was living off student loans with just 3 clients, posting basic workout videos, and couldn't sell to save his life. So how did he go from zero to hero in just a few short years? We dive deep into the pivotal moments that changed everything, including: • The risky decision to invest his last dollar in coaching (and how it paid off) • The mindset shift that took him from broke med student to 6-figure months • Why having a bigger purpose beyond money is crucial for long-term success If you're feeling stuck in your fitness business right now, Trent's story will light a fire under your ass and show you what's possible when you go all-in on your dreams. Top Quotes: "I invested in myself with money I did not have. And I ended up paying off that credit card within the first 30 days." (3:16) "Once you get to a certain level, your purpose in life becomes less about surviving and more about, hey, what am I even making money for?" (26:00) "After $30K a month, it makes no difference. Whether I make $30K or $50K, like, I'm still living the same way."

Exposing the dark side of the coaching industry: why you need to watch out for overpriced BS 🚨 In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the shady practices of some so-called "business coaches" in our industry. After watching a YouTube video about someone who got scammed out of $25,000 with zero results to show for it, I knew I had to speak up. Look, I deliver a f***ing great service to my clients, and it pisses me off to see others giving our industry a bad name. So I'm breaking down the red flags to watch out for when choosing a business coach, including: • Why trash engagement on Instagram is a massive warning sign • The importance of real social proof (not just inflated follower counts) • How some coaches use gaslighting tactics to avoid responsibility But I'm not just here to rant. I'm also sharing why PT Domination is different, including our money-back guarantee and transparent expectations. Because at the end of the day, I actually want to see you grow a successful online coaching business. So if you're tired of getting burned by overpriced, bullshit coaching programs, it's time to do your homework and work with someone who has the receipts to back up their claims. Top Quotes: "If you're going to look for a business coach, and they have trash engagement on their Instagram reels, that is a massive red flag." (1:58) "I f****** guarantee you that these other names in the space don't have the list to back up the f****** claims that they're making and it pisses me on."
