On my 18th birthday I passed out drunk in a shopping cart and got wheeled home.

I was finding my way––awkward, anxious, and insecure.

Around that same time I started lifting weights.

As my muscles grew, I got more relaxed. A quiet confidence began to grow and I didn’t need alcohol anymore.

I still enjoy a beer every now and then. But I don’t need it, I choose to have it. There’s a big difference.

In life, some days are good, some great, and some are hard. It’s an inevitable truth.

Regular exercise helps me tackle life’s challenges on those hard days.

I guess that’s where the saying “hard workout, easy life” comes from.

2 Business Nuggets

1.

Here’s a great structure for any social media post:

Hook

Story

Punch

Hook needs to meet them where they’re at and grab the attention of the right people.

Story gives a touch of context but it’s gotta be quick.

Punch leaves with a laugh, food for thought, or idea to chew on.

Short videos follow the same format. Click here for an example of a video on IG where the punch is a laugh.

2.

Because of the internet, we get overwhelmed by how many people are trying to do the exact same things we were.

The search should not be for what would work best, but for how to be our best selves. No one will understand you. It is not, ultimately, that important. What is important is that you understand you.

1 Quote to Consider

“As young people, we’re told what to do, how to think, and when to show up places. Success is simple to understand: good grades are good and bad grades are bad. And then we grow up and realize that life isn’t best lived by the kind of guy who only eats cheese in single slices. The rules aren’t black and white; moreso, greyish. For the ambitious, this ambiguity is hard to reconcile.”

There’s, like, 5 million leaves out of my window that I need to rake up today. As much as I’d LOVE to put it off even longer by writing a long and drawn out sign-off message (probably) nobody ever reads, I should really get to it.

P.S. “Hey, how are you doing?


Scale with the Online Trainer Mentorship

I believe good coaches deserve to make good incomes.

You are the key to a healthier, happier society.

After writing the first-ever textbook for online training and helping 65,000+ trainers build their businesses in the past ten years, one thing has become clear:

You need strong mentorship, sturdy support, and smart systems to scale your business.

In the fitness industry, January can explode your business.

That’s why I’m looking to mentor 15 trainers, influencers, or gym owners already making over $5,000/mo.

We’re getting started on Dec 4th and there are only 15 spots available.

If you think it’s worth a short call, please fill out the application today so we can hold your spot before they are gone:
