This is a very powerful conversation I had a wonderful man recently. It goes a little deeper than normal and discusses some uncomfortable topics (so trigger warning has been advised). I'm very grateful for Gavin and his ability to hold the space for a conversation like this.  You can subscibe to Gavin's podcast here: ___________________________________________ In this episode of the Modern Warrior Podcast, I sit down with Brian Keane—fitness entrepreneur, best-selling author, ultra-endurance athlete, and one of the most focused minds I've ever come across. Brian shares powerful insights on discipline, self-awareness, and how to use pain as a teacher instead of a punishment. We discuss the distinction between quitting and pivoting, strategies for staying consistent without burning out, and what it truly means to take ownership of your life. If you're struggling with motivation, clarity, or direction, this conversation is a masterclass in overcoming obstacles and moving forward with purpose. Episode Summary Brian Keane came into the studio with a calm confidence and intense focus that you could feel immediately. His clarity, discipline, and straight-talking mindset set the tone for one of the most insightful conversations I've had on this podcast. We began by discussing his early years and how his identity transitioned from teacher to full-time entrepreneur, highlighting the profound internal changes required to adapt to this shift, including a reevaluation of risk, self-belief, and purpose. Brian spoke about the difference between quitting and pivoting—how he learned that walking away from something that no longer serves you isn't weakness, it's wisdom. A big theme of the conversation was ownership—the idea that no one's coming to save you. If you want something different, you have to take extreme responsibility for where you are and where you're going. He shared how pain can be a teacher. Whether it's emotional, physical, or situational, the key is to sit with it, learn from it, and let it shape—not break—you. We explored his ultra-endurance events and the mindset needed to get through them. For Brian, it's not about willpower—it's about removing the option to quit. When you take quitting off the table, the path becomes clear. Brian opened up about loneliness, burnout, and navigating his internal world—topics that are often glossed over in conversations about high performance. One of the most practical pieces of advice he gave was to match your expectations to your capacity. Most people feel stuck because their ambition doesn't line up with their daily habits. He spoke candidly about self-sabotage, the power of journaling, and how he uses triggers like judgment and comparison as cues for deeper self-reflection. We ended by talking about clarity and consistency. For Brian, it's simple: Get clear on what you want, show up for it daily, and don't outsource your happiness to anyone or anything outside of yourself. This wasn't just a motivational conversation—it was a mirror. One that challenged me to get even more honest about the places where I've been holding myself back.

Here are some of the things we talked about in today's show:  ·       How you feel from the inside of your body is what matters. ·       Your body loves you and is doing everything to help you thrive. ·       Love is wanting what's best for your body. ·       Self-love should elicit supportive action. ·       Fat adaptation allows the body to use fat as fuel, while keto adaptation requires prolonged carb restriction to produce ketones. ·       Keto can significantly benefit those with metabolic dysfunction, such as obesity and high blood sugar. ·       Long-term keto may lead to issues like muscle loss, hormonal imbalances, and reduced gut health. ·       Carbohydrates can play a crucial role in a balanced diet and should not be completely eliminated. ·       Mental and emotional relationships with food can be affected by restrictive diets like keto. ·       Keto is a therapeutic tool but may not be suitable for everyone, especially those without metabolic issues. ·       The duration of a keto diet matters; short-term use can be beneficial, but long-term adherence may have drawbacks. ·       Keto can raise dopamine levels but may lower serotonin, affecting mood and mental health. ·       A balanced approach to nutrition, including fiber and carbohydrates, is essential for overall health.  Today's podcast is sponsored by my Keane Edge Group Coaching Program: https://briankeanefitness.com/the-keane-edge-program   (Website) www.taragarrison.com (Facebook) www.facebook.com/coachtaragarrison (Instagram) www.instagram.com/coachtaragarrison/ (Youtube) www.youtube.com/coachtaragarrison (Pinterest) www.pinterest.com/coachtaragarrison/ (Tiktok) www.tiktok.com/@coachtaragarrison

BUT... We completely revamped it.  New training programs.. New recipes that plug directly into your favourite food app.. An app that syncs with your favourite third party apps (my fitness pal, Apple Watch etc).. It's taken a while to do.. But I think you'll agree that it's been worth it.. If you enter code "MAYOFFER" at the checkout, you'll get it for €146.    I'm capping it at 50 people as well; so that code will expire once the group is full.    If you have any questions, just let me know and I look forward to working together if you decide it's for you.   Brian    https://briankeanefitness.com/the-keane-edge-program

Dr. Elliott (Rehab Fix) is one of the world's leading experts on sciatica and back pain treatment. With over 930k followers on Instagram and a YouTube channel of over 618k subscribers, his content helps those who are frustrated by outdated advice and unnecessary treatments. He stands out in the world of chiropractic care—not only as the visionary behind the #1 online low-back program but also as the advocate who challenges the notion that you need a doctor to heal your back.  As a former competitive athlete, Grant's career was derailed by persistent back pain and ineffective treatment. Determined to find a better way, he turned his struggles into a mission, combining his medical expertise with innovative strategies to challenge the flawed “sick care” system.  Today, his program has impacted lives across the globe, demonstrating that your spine is resilient, your body is capable, and recovery is entirely within your reach. Here are some of the things we talked about in today's show:    ·      The notion that back pain requires medication and rest is false. ·      Fear of movement can lead to chronic pain and disability. ·      Gradual exposure to movement is essential for recovery. Perfect posture is not necessary; movement is more important. ·      Back pain is influenced by multiple factors, including emotional and social aspects. A holistic approach to back pain considers emotional and psychological factors. ·      Understanding the correlation between stress and physical pain is crucial. ·      Sciatica is often misunderstood as just leg pain, but it originates from the back. ·      Stretching a sensitive nerve can worsen sciatica symptoms. ·      Individualized treatment plans are essential for effective pain management. ·      There is no one-size-fits-all solution for sciatica; each case is unique. ·      Movement is vital for spinal health and pain relief. ·      Pain does not always indicate tissue damage; understanding this can change perceptions. ·      Back cracking is generally harmless and can be done if it feels good.   Brian's website: www.briankeanefitness.com Enjoying the podcast?
