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.

It has been a long six months.. but finally my new program is ready..  My team and I have been building out the NEW Keane Edge Program into an third party app over the past few months and I wanted to send a quick email to let you know that there is €50 discount off the program starting Monday week.  Similar to my old BKF Online Program, there will be group coaching with me (weekly Q+A's so I can tailor things to you etc).. 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?

A beautiful conversation with Jay Campbell on his podcast. As the title suggests, this is a little different to normal; so hopefully you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it.  You can subscribe to Jay's show here.  https://open.spotify.com/episode/0ThUDwVZV4MU9k5yydKdnl _____________________________________________________ In this episode, Jay interviews Brian Keane, an online fitness coach and certified nutritionist who has written three bestselling books, launched a #1 ranked podcast, and run ultramarathons in the world's most grueling locations, including the Saharan desert and Arctic. They cover a variety of topics related to the connection between physical health and one's ability to elevate their consciousness. Their conversation ranges from the dangers of hyper-palatable processed foods to the difference between emotional eating and consumption driven by true physiological need. Tune in if you want to discover how to (finally) break free from a cycle of unhealthy habits or if you want to gain a better understanding of how optimizing your physical fitness can help you deepen your spiritual practice and raise your vibration. “I think there's a crossover with fitness and spirituality. Everything is difficult in the beginning, messy in the middle, and beautiful at the end.” – Brian Keane What You'll Learn From This Episode: • The Dangers Of Hyper-Palatable, Processed Foods – Modern food is engineered to be addictive and unhealthy. Learn how food scientists are creating products that promote overeating, and how marketers are making them an ever-present temptation.   • Social & Familial Influences On Diet – Cultural “norms” can also lead to unhealthy eating habits, and sometimes it's those closest to us who are holding us back. Learn how to navigate tricky situations and make healthier food choices, no matter what.   • Physical Health As A Foundation For Spirituality – A healthy physical body is essential for spiritual growth. You can't effectively pursue spirituality when you're physically unwell, so use physical fitness as a gateway to deeper spiritual experiences.   • The Role Of Self-love In Health – Social media lures many people into a comparison trap, which can prevent them from achieving their full potential. Engage in a healthier discourse with your inner self, and watch your physical and spiritual growth take off.   • Personal Experiences With Plant-Based Medicine – Jay and Brian both share personal stories of using plant-based medicine to deal with anxiety and trauma and unlock a more balanced and connected version of themselves.    Key Moments In This Conversation 00:01:24 – Brian's thoughts on the outlook for humanity 00:10:24 – How people fall prey to an unhealthy eating spiral 00:22:29 – Why you can't afford NOT to eat quality food 00:27:29 – Why a lack of self love and trust results in anxiety 00:31:55 – Your spirit can't elevate if your physical vessel is weak 00:41:37 – How your thoughts/actions interact with the universe 00:47:03 – Brian's “Dark night of the soul” story 00:56:20 – Personal experiences with plant-based medicine 01:02:43 – Closing thoughts and Brian's resources

Here is a bonus business podcast episode. I was just a guest on Kevin Harrington's (from Shark Tank) Sharkprenuer Podcast with his awesome co-host Seth Greene (Podcast Direct Response Marketing Expert)! It was a jam-packed interview and I feel like he did a great job in picking my brain about rewiring your mindset. On the Podcast, Seth and I talked about A LOT, but here are just a few of the topics we covered: - How it can be a struggle to market and build awareness for a fitness brand. - Why moving a fitness business online increases leverage and revenue potential. - How seeking guidance or mentorship early in your career is vital. - Why people should learn from other's mistakes instead of relying on your own experiences. How prioritizing a healthy work-life balance lets you focus on your mental health, family, and personal fitness goals For details on my business coaching, check the link below.  https://briankeanefitness.com/mentorship-and-business-coaching

Matt Dawson is a six-time world-record-holding endurance and adventure athlete who, within a twelve-month period, climbed the highest peak on every continent, skied to the South Pole, trekked solo and unsupported across the Mojave Desert and Death Valley, and rowed across the Atlantic Ocean.  Performing in the planet's harshest environments, he learned that his greatest obstacles don't originate in the outside world, but within himself. That life doesn't have to be a relentless battle against his deepest fears and shortcomings. His new book, Strength In Surrender beckons you to embrace a different path and reveals a harrowing truth: one of the greatest acts of courage is surrender. Surrender isn't giving in, giving up, or going along, but rather choosing to face and release our deepest fears in order to identify more productive ways of meeting our needs. It's a powerful, necessary step to living a life of greater purpose.  Takeaways ·      Physical challenges can help in reconnecting with oneself. ·      Disconnection is a common issue in today's society. ·      Facing fears is essential for emotional release. ·      Reality is not as concrete as we believe it to be. ·      We have the power to shape our own reality. ·      Living with purpose is crucial for fulfilment. ·      Emotional pain can lead to significant breakthroughs. ·      The journey to finding purpose can take time. ·      Engaging in physical challenges can foster personal growth. Living a life of purpose can significantly improve mental health.. ·      Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. ·      No one is truly alone in their struggles; many share similar pains. ·      Embracing discomfort can lead to profound personal growth. ·      Focusing on the process rather than just the outcome is crucial. ·      Surrendering to the unknown can lead to new opportunities for growth. ·      Personal evolution is about learning to trust oneself and others.    (Website) https://dawsonspeak.com (Facebook) www.facebook.com/dawsonspeakcharity (Instagram) Matt Dawson (@dawsonspeak) • Instagram photos and videos (Youtube) Dawson's Peak - YouTube Book:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Strength-Surrender-expeditions-harshest-environments-ebook/dp/B0D2SFMZJM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2XM2OC3537I9B&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.brna1_m0VBRdWat1yKILcg.R-xKuvc8u0l3zIWrQnape8tghOqQ58IhXM3rR1NMg64&dib_tag=se&keywords=matt+dawson+surrender+book&qid=1738846837&sprefix=matt+dawson+surrender+book%2Caps%2C51&sr=8-1

Amanda is an alcohol-free lifestyle expert, holistic life coach, speaker, and author.   Amanda's journey shows that you don't need a drinking problem for alcohol to hold you back. Without hitting rock bottom, she discovered during Dry January that sobriety was the key to a more fulfilling life. Since going alcohol-free in 2017, she's been helping others embrace intentional living and unlock their full potential.   Her debut book, Unbottled Potential, is a transformative guide to living alcohol-free, designed to help people manifest success and lead extraordinary lives. Amanda's approach isn't about a temporary challenge—it's about redefining what it means to live fully and authentically through the sober-curious movement. Here are some of the things we talked about in today's podcast:  ·      Social pressures can make sobriety feel isolating. ·      Cutting back on alcohol can be a mental struggle. ·      Going cold turkey can be more effective than moderation. ·      Unexpected benefits of sobriety include increased clarity and creativity. ·      Friendships may evolve as drinking habits change. ·      Embracing discomfort can lead to personal growth and new connections. The realization of true friendship often comes after sobriety. ·      Facing emotions without alcohol is a challenging but necessary process. ·      Alcohol can cap your ability to experience joy. ·      It's important to sit with your emotions rather than escape them. ·      Life can become unimaginably better after quitting alcohol. ·      Finding your 'why' is crucial for maintaining sobriety. ·      Embracing discomfort can lead to personal growth and fulfilment.   (Website) Amanda Kuda | Life Coach For Sober Curious & Alcohol-Free Women (Instagram) Amanda Kuda | Alcohol-Free Life Coach (@amandakuda) • Instagram photos and videos (Podcast) The Unbottled Potential Podcast — Amanda Kuda | Life Coach For Sober Curious & Alcohol-Free Women (Blog) Life Coach & Mentor helping women live more authentically — Amanda Kuda | Life Coach For Sober Curious & Alcohol-Free Women (Youtube) Authentically Amanda - Amanda Kuda - YouTube (Twitter) AmandaKuda (@AmandaKuda) / X (Book) Unbottled Potential Unbottled Potential: Break Up with Alcohol and Break Through to Your Best Life - Kindle edition by Kuda, Amanda.

Jay is a retired British Army soldier turned champion bodybuilder and personal coach who is committed to the belief that “transformation starts from the neck up”.  With a huge 1.1M TikTok followers and over half a million followers on Instagram (@jayalderton),  Jay's platforms continue to rapidly amass support and positive sentiment from a community of like-minded individuals committed to transforming their lives by confronting life's obstacles and reaping the rewards. He is the author of several best-selling books. His most recent one Hard Stuff, Easy Life – 7 mindset principles for success, strength and happiness is available now  I got so much from this conversation on a personal level, I hope you get just as much from listening.  Here are some of the things we talked about in today's podcast:  ·      Transformation starts from the neck up. ·      Fear of failure often prevents people from starting. ·      Failure is a natural part of success, while quitting is not. ·      No one cares about your decisions as much as you think. ·      Commitment requires ongoing effort beyond the initial decision. ·      Maintenance of habits is easier than the initial growth phase. ·      Your identity can change over time; you are not fixed. ·      Obstacles can serve as valuable lessons for future success. ·      Learning to say no is essential for prioritizing what matters. ·      Self-awareness is key to understanding and overcoming past influences. Extreme success comes with extreme sacrifice. ·      Balance is found between selfishness and selflessness. ·      Communication is crucial in family dynamics. ·      If you can't reduce negativity, remove it completely. ·      Being present improves mental health and connections. ·      Life is too short to tolerate negativity. ·      And much more.    (Website) www.mindsetwithmuscle.co.uk (Instagram) www.instagram.com/jayalderton/ (Tiktok) Jay Alderton (@jayalderton) Official | TikTok (Facebook) www.facebook.com/JayAldertonOfficial (Twitter/X)  Jay Alderton (@JayAlderton) / X (Youtube) Jay Alderton - YouTube (LinkedIn) Jay Alderton - Mindset with Muscle - Mindset with Muscle | LinkedIn Previous appearance: Episode 72 Mindset With Muscle and Knowledge Bombs with Jamie Alderton (aka Grenade Jay) | Brian Keane Fitness
