In this episode, I discuss the importance of mental resilience and shifting your mindset to find the good in even the worst situations. I share a personal story (anonymized for privacy) that illustrates how experiencing adversity can prepare you to help others in similar struggles. By choosing gratitude over self-pity, you can transform setbacks into opportunities for growth and connection. I also introduce this week's challenge: no caffeine, as part of fostering discipline and stepping out of comfort zones.

In this Kill Shot Sunday episode, I lay out a hard truth: just start. Most people waste time overthinking names, logos, plans—when the real key is taking action immediately and figuring things out along the way. I share how I fumbled through launching my podcast, changing its name and cover multiple times, but because I started anyway, I made real progress instead of staying stuck. The same principle applies to fitness, sales, business, or any goal. Stop waiting, stop making excuses, and start today. Plus, this week’s challenge: No caffeine from Feb 2 - Feb 8.

Notable Quotes From This Episode:

1. "You don’t need to have it all figured out—you just need to start."
2. "There are people in your future who need you to take your shit seriously today."
3. "If you wait until everything is perfect, you’ll never begin and you’ll never succeed."
4. "Called my first podcast B Cast. What the fuck is that?"
5. "I spent days analyzing gym stairmaster counts like my gym life depended on it."
6. "If you’re driving, you can pull over, do 20 jumping jacks, and get back in the car. Inconvenient though? No shit."

In this episode of Set the Standard Saturday (corny as hell), I talk about raising personal standards and holding yourself to them. Most people start the week strong but fall apart by the weekend, throwing away their progress in the name of "balance." Instead of waiting for Monday to start, raise your standards today. Small, incremental changes—like cutting fast food from four times a day to twice a week—compound into massive transformation. Define your identity by your standards. If you commit to high standards long enough, you won’t even consider going back to your old ways. Set the standard, hold the line, and never drop below it.

Notable Quotes From This Episode:

1. "If you wait until Monday to start, you don’t really want it."
2. "Declare your standards, live up to them, and soon, your identity will rise to match."
3. "The higher your standards, the less you even consider going back to your old ways."
4. "We could be talking about alligators for fuck’s sake—who cares?"
5. "Some of you have seen your family 20 times this month. I’ve done that in five years."
6. "I don’t know why time works the way it does—some guy just said, ‘Let’s make a minute 60 seconds’ and now we all just go with it."
