Mike Nelson is another member of Iron Hawaiian Fitness.  He discusses how having cerebral palsy does not stop him from getting on stage and his passion for making music.  Definitely a good conversation getting to know a little more about the members of the best gym on Oahu.   To Follow Mike Instagram @IronAddict06 @IronGeek808     @boothmusic_productions       Links: SoundCloud link:  SoundCloud .com/808soulbeats   YouTube Links: https://youtube.com/@irongeekmuscle2593 This content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.  This is simply for entertainment purposes only.  I am not a medical professional.  Any information in this video acted on is at the user's viewers, and or listener's own risk.  I do not condone or advocate the use, distribution, or selling of anything talked about.  Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hodge_built808/   YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHfCrkA1ig33c-uCOx-7TaQ   www.hodgebuilt.com  

“Holly D'Arcy is a mother of two and a military spouse. She and her family are currently stationed in Hawaii. Holly is a former elementary school teacher, and now works full-time as the owner of HD Fitness which was established in 2015. Holly especially has a passion for helping moms level up their fitness journey, because she has seen the power of nutrition and lifting in transforming her own life." Holly also has experience (training and competing) in cross fit, powerlifting, and figure competition.  Not to mention she also trains people online and has trained people in person.  All of this experience, I thought she would be perfect to bring on and start this series where I interview some of the interesting people in Iron Hawaiian Fitness and have them share their stories.    If you are interested in her coaching services HD Fitness LLC www.hdfitnesscoach.com @hollywaydarcy on IG, Youtube, Tiktok, and Pinterest   To follow more of my content   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hodge_built808/   YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHfCrkA1ig33c-uCOx-7TaQ   www.hodgebuilt.com

People have been obese for so long it has become their comfort zone.  What they will not admit is they mistaken ease for comfort. They are uncomfortable, yet will not get uncomfortable to change.   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hodge_built808/   YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHfCrkA1ig33c-uCOx-7TaQ   www.hodgebuilt.com

Social Media is great to promote and run a business, connect with friends, and get information, It can also ruin your day and keep you distracted from your purpose in life. It can ruin your contest prep or any transformation journey. Why do you post? Is it for you or for them?   How many people actually care? Social Media has taken over the world and your life.   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hodge_built808/   YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHfCrkA1ig33c-uCOx-7TaQ   www.hodgebuilt.com

Lets talk about being lazy and the root cause.  Is that our nature or have we not found what our passion is our what we were put here to do.   I use my own personal experiences to show how I established this mindset. Hang in there because the latter part where I go into getting your vision and going for it is something everyone needs to hear.  We are all here for a reason and the more of us that find it the better off the entire world will be. Why fat loss and changing your body is so valuable, and it may not be the reason you are thinking.   Follow me on    Instagram @hodge_built808 https://www.instagram.com/hodge_built808/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/536390414398551/   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHfCrkA1ig33c-uCOx-7TaQ   Podbean https://hodgebuilt.podbean.com/   iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-hodge-built-society/id1428353178 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-hodge-built-society/id1428353178   Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/3SQsiT8eV.x5HEJP1BYcNad?si=Gukh9WjbS9qvTQp4VVNTgg

One reason so many people fail is lack of resilience. Being defeated or set back from your goals can cause you to fail, or it can make you a champion depending on how you analyze, identify, and apply the experience.  IFBB Pro Domenick Dibenedetto shares with us what he has learned now that he has finished a month of back to back competitions in Classic Physique.  He believes resilience is something everyone can learn and he tells us how.   Follow Domenick on IG: @dibz_ifbbpro https://www.instagram.com/dibz_ifbbpro/​   To learn more about what Akira does and how he can help: IG: @coachakiraofficial https://www.instagram.com/coachakiraofficial/ akiwar7244@gmail.com   To follow me and my social media outlets for videos, podcasts, and more awesome stuff:  https://flow.page/hodgebuilt​ To join the facebook group  https://www.facebook.com/groups/536390414398551  

Life is goal setting and problem solving.  If you have stopped solving problems you have stopped moving forward. Why are goals better than dreams?  How can focusing on one keep you from the other even if they are related.  What is the “Drama Cycle” and how has it caused so many people to fail?   Thinking too far ahead can be negative (my prep for example) Tell the story of my app and how it was something that should have waited  I could have spent that time becoming a better trainer and building a name and brand first.   Follow Domenick on IG: @dibz_ifbbpro https://www.instagram.com/dibz_ifbbpro/​   To learn more about what Akira does and how he can help:   IG: @coachakiraofficial https://www.instagram.com/coachakiraofficial/ akiwar7244@gmail.com To follow me and my social media outlets for videos, podcasts, and more awesome stuff:  https://flow.page/hodgebuilt​ Or www.hodgebuilt.com  

IFBB Pro D'Andre Booker joins us to talk about his journey from losing contests to winning his IFBB pro card. With gyms shut down due to the pandemic, he innovated his prep instead of quitting, and won his pro card at the 2021 NPC Universe. We also discuss (trainer to trainer) common setbacks with people who want to get into this sport as well as seasoned veterans that change coaches to try a new approach.   Social media has provided a way for thin skinned people to dodge constructive criticism, convincing themselves they are ready for something that still requires more work, and has made being unhealthy the new normal. This episode is a good “wake up call” that everyone can benefit from listening to.   To follow Dre on IG: https://www.instagram.com/nupefaceoffitness/  

How can you tell a true friend from someone who just wants something from you?  You need to know this so you can cut off those that are holding you back.  One mistake some true friends might make is laying down pressure when all they are trying to do is show support.  What are better ways for them to support without adding to the stress or workload?   Follow Domenick on IG: @dibz_ifbbpro https://www.instagram.com/dibz_ifbbpro/​   To learn more about what Akira does and how he can help:   IG: @coachakiraofficial https://www.instagram.com/coachakiraofficial/ akiwar7244@gmail.com   To follow me and my social media outlets for videos, podcasts, and more awesome stuff:  https://flow.page/hodgebuilt​ Or www.hodgebuilt.com  

New IFBB Pro (Wellness) Leticia Allen joins us to discuss the challenges of this sport that most on the outside do not realize. She explains what actual manifestation requires in order to become who you want to be and why most people get it wrong. Most people do not use every free moment to stay focused nor do they have the will power to reset their thought process to battle common obstacles that come with this sport.  Learning how to do this, and putting forth your hard effort, will put everything in the right place for you to get what you want.   To follow me and my social media outlets for videos, podcasts, and more awesome stuff:  https://flow.page/hodgebuilt​ Or www.hodgebuilt.com  

People on the outside always want to share their opinion about something they have never experienced. Others think they are coaches who give the best advice that can change the world when in reality, their words mean nothing. Sometimes the best thing to do is sit back and let us do what we do, and if you really want to put your 2 cents in, jump in our shoes for a bit first.   Follow Domenick on IG: @dibz_ifbbpro https://www.instagram.com/dibz_ifbbpro/​ To learn more about what Akira does and how he can help: IG: @coachakiraofficial https://www.instagram.com/coachakiraofficial/ akiwar7244@gmail.com   To follow me and my social media outlets for videos, podcasts, and more awesome shit: https://flow.page/hodgebuilt​ Or www.hodgebuilt.com  

We all know someone or have been that person that talks about making change but never takes the first step. Just talking about it seems to give a quick reward but does not provide the satisfaction they desire.  Our society is programmed to be validated by thumbs up and hearts instead of acting and showing results. "Like me for who I am" seems legit but is it really an excuse to make people feel bad for calling you out?  Akira and myself reflect back on our own past to provide insight on why people do this and why it does not bring the satisfaction they desire.    Follow Domenick on IG: @dibz_ifbbpro https://www.instagram.com/dibz_ifbbpro/​   To learn more about what Akira does and how he can help:   IG: @coachakiraofficial https://www.instagram.com/coachakiraofficial/ akiwar7244@gmail.com To follow me and my social media outlets for videos, podcasts, and more awesome shit:  https://flow.page/hodgebuilt​ Or www.hodgebuilt.com  

We have lost the definition on what a true friend really is.  We think more is better and strive hard to be popular when it's taking us away from what we were put here to do.  Is helping others with no concept of reward a bad trait?  Some of us are not supposed to fit in and that is fine, we have bigger and better things to do, and will meet incredible, genuine people along the way.  Join Akira and myself as we discuss why you should not fit in on this episode of Mind Muscle Connection.

Most people do not care what you are doing.  We focus on getting validation from those that do not care and stop focusing on the coach or mentor that does care, shooting ourselves in the foot.  Why? Is trauma from the past causing you to repeat the same cycle? The boys talk about this dilemma and how to over come it.    Follow Domenick on IG: @dibz_ifbbpro https://www.instagram.com/dibz_ifbbpro/​   To learn more about what Akira does and how he can help:   IG: @coachakiraofficial https://www.instagram.com/coachakiraofficial/ akiwar7244@gmail.com To follow me and my social media outlets for videos, podcasts, and more awesome shit:  https://flow.page/hodgebuilt​ Or www.hodgebuilt.com  

The boys talk about how saying this phrase, and actually putting action behind it, can change your life. On our second episode of suicide awareness month we are joined by Joe Shelley as we talk about how powerful saying f** you can be when you put action behind it. We talk about our own instances where we had enough of being depressed, and letting life kick us while we were down, and how we said f*** you and turned it all around. We changed relationships (not got rid of them), changed our habits, and now live a better path that brings satisfaction.

The boys recognize Suicide Awareness month all of September.  This week we start with “It's ok to not be ok.”  We discuss the different types of suicide (not just ending your life), what can fuel them, and what steps can we take to reframe our mind and get in the right direction. Tactics as simple as remembering what you have accomplished instead of where you messed up, cutting off people and environment you do not need, and how the bigger person, not the wimp, will ask for help instead of tackling this on their own. Why are people stubborn and try handling it on their own when they have not been able to handle it for many years, which will eventually lead to a point where you will end up hurting people around you.   To join the facebook group  https://www.facebook.com/groups/536390414398551   Follow Domenick on IG: @dibz_ifbbpro https://www.instagram.com/dibz_ifbbpro/​   To learn more about what Akira does and how he can help:   IG: @pentaxic   akiwar7244@gmail.com To follow me and my social media outlets for videos, podcasts, and more awesome shit:  https://flow.page/hodgebuilt​ Or www.hodgebuilt.com

Can changing yourself win acceptance and help you excel at your goals, or should you learn how to use the traits you have to benefit you?  Can you accept that no matter how far you make it there is always still work to do?  How do you program your mind to be prepared for this and push yourself to surpass the rest? Dibz high school wrestling coach, creator of the “Jersey To Vegas” podcast, and author of “The Path To The Real Me” Pete Isip joins us to give more insight on this topic.    To check out Pete's Podcast “Jersey To Vegas” https://open.spotify.com/show/0LKhdkU8xw93dzsDiApOQT?si=uddPHiKWSLyToDprxCasXg&dl_branch=1   Follow Domenick on IG: @dibz_ifbbpro https://www.instagram.com/dibz_ifbbpro/​   To learn more about what Akira does and how he can help:   IG: @pentaxic   akiwar7244@gmail.com To follow me and my social media outlets for videos, podcasts, and more awesome shit:  https://flow.page/hodgebuilt​ Or www.hodgebuilt.com  

Dibz and myself talk about the integrity in the business aspect of this industry and if it is necessary to excel. Is there an ethics code in personal training and where is the line drawn?  We also go into alter ego how we have to present one person to the common world then flip the switch to become who we truly are when necessary.

Tim Grover said “Winning takes you to hell and if you quit, you stay there.”  Today we talk about how this applies to Simone Biles who recently dropped out of the Olympics after expressing mental health concerns.  How does this look when compared to other incidents involving famous athletes that are similar?  What message does it send to those idolizing the athlete?  Was this decision affected by the “Victim” trend of this upcoming generation?  We are also joined by special guest Tim Fredd (Salesperson of the year, Top Performing Salesperson, 2x 100 mile ultra marathons, 7x 50 mile ultramarathons, 2-0 amateur mma) who shares his insight on this incident and others similar in our history and what can we learn from it all.  Follow Domenick on IG: @dibz_ifbbpro https://www.instagram.com/dibz_ifbbpro/​   To learn more about what Akira does and how he can help:   IG: @pentaxic www.seduction.com/digital www.seduction.com/tone akiwar7244@gmail.com   To follow me and my social media outlets for videos, podcasts, and more awesome shit:  https://flow.page/hodgebuilt​ Or www.hodgebuilt.com LIKE SUBSCRIBE CLICK NOTIFICATIONS AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS!!!!!!

People hire coaches, trainers, and nutritionists, showing they do not know the answer to get them to their goals, and STILL have a hard time listening.  It's not just because they have a hard time breaking habits, they will convince themselves that they know more than the very person they hired.  What causes this mindset and what steps can be taken to fix it?   Also Akira provides a visualization process that puts you on track and makes you a believer.    Follow Domenick on IG: @dibz_ifbbpro https://www.instagram.com/dibz_ifbbpro/​   To learn more about what Akira does and how he can help:   IG: @pentaxic   www.seduction.com/digital   www.seduction.com/tone   akiwar7244@gmail.com To follow me and my social media outlets for videos, podcasts, and more awesome shit:  https://flow.page/hodgebuilt​ Or www.hodgebuilt.com LIKE SUBSCRIBE CLICK NOTIFICATIONS AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS!!!!!!  

Is social media a tool or will it rip you from progress? If you aren't careful social media can be the downfall of your mental state kicking you off the path towards winning.  Insecurities can be fueled to a new level OR you can find the right motivation to push you past them.  It all depends on how you utilize these platforms.

Hawaii's first IFBB Wellness Pro Shawnee Jacob shares her story of going from having a kid to being the first woman in Hawaii to turn pro in the new IFBB Wellness Division.  Her story shows how instead of taking an obstacle and making it an excuse to quit, you can overcome it and still get what you want. LIfe is rough and so is competing.  People do not realize that when competing, or even starting some health or fat loss program, life does not stop.  So do you say screw it or “you aren't meant for this” when you get a little uncomfortable, or do you keep pushing?  After hearing Shawnee's passion for the sport and her mindset seeing it to the end, people should be more motivated to keep pushing.
