Podcasts about amateurs

The main difference between professional and amateur personal trainers is that professionals consistently follow up with clients, maintain organized and effective communication, and focus on purposeful, client-centered training practices. In this “NASM CPT Podcast,” host Rick Richey breaks down ten key habits and strategies that separate dedicated career trainers from less experienced or casual counterparts. Listeners will learn actionable scheduling and communication tips, the importance of tracking every assessment and personal record, and why referring clients out when necessary is a sign of professionalism, not weakness. The presentation emphasizes being "brilliant at the basics," integrating fun and purpose into every session, maintaining clean and organized gym spaces, and delivering balanced, individualized programs that adjust as clients progress. After listening, trainers will understand how to structure their client interactions and business practices to build trust, deliver results, and grow their training career within the structured guidance of NASM's teachings. Chapters: 00:00:30 What actually sets professional trainers apart from amateur trainers? 00:03:30 How important is following up with potential clients, and how should you manage it? 00:06:28 What are the keys to professional scheduling and communication in personal training? 00:08:17 Why do all scheduling changes need to be traceable and not just verbal? 00:10:17 How can trainers make sessions fun while still keeping them purposeful? 00:12:21 Why does cleaning up after yourself matter for trainers' success and reputation? 00:16:21 When should personal trainers refer clients to other professionals or trainers? 00:19:45 Why is being brilliant at the basics better than advanced tricks or trends? 00:21:58 How do you provide a balanced and integrated training program for every client? 00:25:06 Why should trainers regularly reassess their clients and how should they track progress? 00:26:36 Why do you need to track everything, and how does this make your training more effective?  If you like what you just consumed, leave us a 5-star review, and share this episode with a friend to help grow our NASM health and wellness community!

Mike coaches a struggling Pilates studio owner on phone sales live: avatar building, referral strategy, and a real walk-in prospect. This pilates studio sales coaching session picks up where Part 1 left off. In Part 1, Mike walked through Jess Landar's churn, lifetime value, and pricing. In Part 2, they build her customer avatar, run a full gym sales role play on her actual phone script, and design a gym referral program built around feeding children. Halfway through filming, a real prospect walked into Jess's studio while the cameras were rolling. Mike coached her through that conversation live, in real time. It has never happened on this podcast before. The gym membership sales tips in this pilates studio sales coaching session are not Pilates-specific. The same principles for how to sell gym memberships, plant a belief before price ever comes up, and control a sales call apply to any boutique gym. This is Part 2 of a continuing series. Jess has 30 days of ads running before she and Mike reconnect for Part 3. In this episode you'll learn: — The exact way to build a customer avatar most gym owners skip — A full gym sales role play using Jess's real phone script, line by line — What happened when a real prospect walked into the studio mid recording — How to plant a belief before a prospect ever asks about price — The moves that control a sales call instead of getting steered by it — A gym referral program built around feeding children instead of a discount — The welcome gift bag move that gets new members texting back after their first class — Why customer acquisition cost matters more than cost per lead — How to turn a low priced trial into a full membership without extra ad spend — The AI assistant setup Mike uses to manage ads, CRM, and follow up — The homework and 30 day timeline before Part 3 If you have ever fumbled a walk-in prospect or lost control of a sales call, this live session shows you exactly what to do differently. Timestamps: — 0:00 Welcome back for Part 2 — 4:54 Building Jess's avatar, meet Brenda — 10:05 Finding Brenda's biggest insecurity — 12:17 The fishing analogy for hooks, lines, and offers — 17:46 How many members her studio can actually hold — 24:31 Live roleplay: selling the $39 trial over the phone — 29:41 Planting a belief before the close — 32:04 Finding out how ready a lead really is — 41:12 The VIP referral pass strategy — 45:33 Amateurs add, professionals multiply — 49:39 The double call and video text combo — 1:00:26 Why customer acquisition cost matters more than cost per lead — 1:08:39 Designing a scarier, higher converting offer — 1:16:05 What value stacking actually means — 1:19:20 Setting up an AI assistant to run the business — 1:21:29 Automating follow up with Go High Level Connect with Jess Landar: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thereformerlibrary 100K Plan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMPx7b3_LOA Behind Gym Doors Podcast Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnwaMl7Us7dAkfE6idQW56EYkEEQ2E5eE Go High Level (CRM Mike uses and recommends): https://www.gohighlevel.com/?fp_ref=gsd-company11 Viktor AI Assistant (referral credit link): https://ref.viktor.com/mike-arce Mike builds Jess's entire offer and sales script live, the same way GSD Gyms helps studios everywhere sell what they already have.

Ken Fuller VK4KF left us on 5th August aged 98 years. He met his wife Pat when she was still a teenager on the range west of Sydney. Ken worked in the Queensland Rail Workshops in Ipswich, and went on to be a draftsman while studying Engineering part time. He was part of the crew monitoring rocket launches at Woomera, before becoming Science advisor to Federal Ministers in Canberra. He and Pat enjoyed sailing and after retiring they spent some years on their yacht along the Queensland coast. There he discovered Amateur Radio and received his full call with help of Amateurs on the Sunshine Coast. He gave up sailing in his 90s and went into care recently. This restricted his Amateur activity. There will be a service for him at Saint Lukes church Wooloongabba on 21st August at 11 am. Vale Ken Fuller VK4KF SK It's 16 August on the Darling Downs and most other places in Queensland. I'm John VK4JPM Secretary of the Darling Downs Radio Club, and we're celebrating the last day of Ekka by wondering what we might have put into our high-value showbags. You know the deal with sample bags: for $25 you get three candy bars, a plastic toy, a puzzle, a pack of crisps, and a comic that's been out of date for years. We can do better than that: for the $3 hamfest price, our pack contains 20 resistors in a value you can't use, half an Elektor kit from a british supplier, a compact fluoro tube, and a three-year back issue of an electronics magazine with part two of a thing you want to build - and no way to get the other issues. And if none of that made sense, we can help you upgrade your electronics knowledge through club meetings, radio training and our regular updates. Drop a line to education@ddrci.org.au and we'll help. Closer to home, we spent this month's club meeting looking at repeaters, and how they really work. Turned out that cavity filters and stacked folded dipoles are more of a black art than we thought, so the session was very well received, just like our updated repeater. Echolink and IRLP have been enabled on VK4RDD, and you can check those out now - the downloadable Echolink app will help you find the repeater pretty easily. VK4RDD also has some new idents, reminding users of the CTCSS access tone, and pointing to the website for further contact. It was great to see so many new faces at the meeting, and a lot of gear was sold at insane prices. Next month's club meeting will be offsite: on 14 September we're going to visit community radio station 4DDB in Toowoomba to see how broadcast audio works. Broadcasting and Amateur Radio share a lot of skills and background, and it's amazing how much fun you can have with both - sometimes even combining the two. From a radio studio you might not get as many distance records, but you could definitely get a few long playing records. There are many hams who have had careers in radio, and many people in radio and TV have become hams... in all senses of the word. The date again for the visit to Radio 4DDB: 14 September; if you can hear or read this you'll be welcome, and details will be appearing on the club website at ddrci.org.au Coming up soon on the website will be some feature articles, pointers to a some e-magazines that have been e-mailed to us, and the article by Warren VK4FJ describing how to clean back and replate a 100-year-old morse key. The club VK4RDD net is up following the callbacks, and we'd like to hear from stations who can help us test echolink. I'm John VK4JPM for the Darling Downs Radio Club. Until next week, thanks for listening.

Amateurs talk tactics. Professionals talk logistics.

In Part 1, we get into the boring stuff that actually wins the week: the post-ride system that saves you from standing in a one-hose line with 500 other riders, packing your whole life into a Home Depot tote (RIP pillows), the nightly debrief that should've been its own episode, and "fravel," the fake gravel that no GPX file will ever warn you about.

Barry Strauss shifts the conflict to the western coast of Greece, where Antony and Cleopatra's massive fleet waits at Actium. Strauss emphasizes that while tactics are for amateurs, logistics are for professionals. Marcus Agrippa executes a brilliant logistical strike by capturing Methone, a vital supply base on the southwestern coast of Greece. This amphibious landing, conducted under the cover of a quarter moon, cuts Antony's essential supply line from Egypt. Antony, stationed further north at Patrae, fails to react effectively to this "one-two punch." While Agrippa disrupts the rear, Octavian moves his fleet north of Actium, effectively trapping Antony's forces. Strauss notes the strangeness of Antony's decision to wait for the enemy rather than invading Italy, suggesting he may have lost his nerve or been constrained by the propaganda risk Cleopatra posed.

J'ai une question pour vous, et répondez-moi franchement...combien de montres, parmi celles que vous venez de voir, vous connaissiez vraiment ?Si vous séchez, ne serait-ce qu'un peu, c'est une excellente nouvelle !Et c'est justement pour ça que j'adore ces sélections vintage. Parce qu'ici, on ne va pas parler des énièmes modèles que vous avez vu 1000 fois.Non, on va parler de ces montres que l'on croise rarement, et de surcroit, dans des états tout simplement rarissimes.Pour cette huitième sélection vintage, je vous ai encore dégoté de jolies pépites. Des pièces qui vont vous faire voyager, des décennies qui s'entrechoquent, des designs que vous n'avez probablement jamais vus. Bref, que vous soyez acheteurs ou pas, vous allez apprendre des choses passionnantes !Comme d'habitude, je ne vais pas juste vous les montrer, je vais vous raconter ce qu'il y a derrière. Le contexte de l'époque, les anecdotes qui entourent ces modèles et ces petits détails qui les rendent uniques.Parce qu'une montre, c'est bien plus qu'un simple boîtier et un cadran. C'est véritablement la photo d'une époque, pour qui sait la déchiffrer.Et, cerise sur gâteau, dans un créneau que je souhaite accessible.Parce que dans une période ou tout augmente. Je vous apporte la preuve qu'il n'y a pas besoin de se ruiner pour porter des pièces dignes d'intérêt.Et surtout, restez bien jusqu'à la fin, car ce n'est pas tous les jours que vous verrez une montre qui fête ses 80 ans avec une telle gueule ! Je vous le garantisAlors installez-vous confortablement, prenez du temps pour vous. Je vous emmène faire un voyage dans le tempsBonne écoute

Brian sits down with Maggie Reese for a candid conversation about her journey through competitive shooting, personal loss, and finding her way back to the sport. Maggie didn't grow up shooting despite firearms being in her household. Her dad took her to the range at 18 with a "learn how it works, then decide" approach, and she was hooked. Starting with a 1911 .45 (and stubbornly sticking with it despite plenty of mansplaining), she showed up at the 2007 Steel Challenge World Championships in Piru completely unprepared and was welcomed in by legends like Taran Butler, Dave Sevigny, Todd Jarrett, and Julie Golob, an experience that shaped everything that followed. Taran especially became a lifelong influence, pushing her into USPSA and 3-gun, and eventually introducing her to Michael Voigt, the longtime USPSA president who became her husband. Their marriage centered around shooting, travel, and shared passion until Michael's death from cancer, which coincided with a difficult period caring for her parents through her mom's dementia and eventually losing both of them. Maggie stepped back from serious competition and cycled through sponsorships with Colt and then Ruger while working through burnout. Recently, a phone call with Taran led to him sending her a TTI Combat Master and pushing her to shoot Area 2, where she rediscovered her love for the sport. She discussed her strong feelings on junior shooter sponsorships, believing kids should be kids without adult-level performance pressure, her instruction work with Girls Just Want to Have Guns, her role on the Women's Outdoor Media Association board and their Amateurs and Experts podcast, and her approach to advocacy through demonstration rather than debate. The Michael Voigt Scholarship Fund at USPSA came from her and Mike Foley's decision to redirect funeral flowers toward supporting the next generation.

Brian sits down with Maggie Reese for a candid conversation about her journey through competitive shooting, personal loss, and finding her way back to the sport. Maggie didn't grow up shooting despite firearms being in her household. Her dad took her to the range at 18 with a "learn how it works, then decide" approach, and she was hooked. Starting with a 1911 .45 (and stubbornly sticking with it despite plenty of mansplaining), she showed up at the 2007 Steel Challenge World Championships in Piru completely unprepared and was welcomed in by legends like Taran Butler, Dave Sevigny, Todd Jarrett, and Julie Golob, an experience that shaped everything that followed. Taran especially became a lifelong influence, pushing her into USPSA and 3-gun, and eventually introducing her to Michael Voigt, the longtime USPSA president who became her husband. Their marriage centered around shooting, travel, and shared passion until Michael's death from cancer, which coincided with a difficult period caring for her parents through her mom's dementia and eventually losing both of them. Maggie stepped back from serious competition and cycled through sponsorships with Colt and then Ruger while working through burnout. Recently, a phone call with Taran led to him sending her a TTI Combat Master and pushing her to shoot Area 2, where she rediscovered her love for the sport. She discussed her strong feelings on junior shooter sponsorships, believing kids should be kids without adult-level performance pressure, her instruction work with Girls Just Want to Have Guns, her role on the Women's Outdoor Media Association board and their Amateurs and Experts podcast, and her approach to advocacy through demonstration rather than debate.

Motivation disappears the moment the work gets difficult. Discipline keeps you moving anyway. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why motivation is too unreliable to build a successful business and why disciplined execution is the only metric that truly matters. Feelings change. Standards should not. The entrepreneurs who win are not always the most inspired. They are the ones who follow the process, complete the checklist, and execute regardless of their mood. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why relying on motivation destroys consistency• How systems and standard operating procedures remove emotion from execution• Why the hardest days build the strongest entrepreneurs• How discipline creates the consistency required to scale The truth is simple: Amateurs wait until they feel ready. Professionals go to work. Stop analyzing your emotions. Follow the system. Execute the plan. Discipline dictates your destiny. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

"They want the secret, and the secret is little and often over the long haul," says Dan John, author of several books on strength and fitness, most recently The Fitness Forge: Master Coaching Tools that Build Real Strength.Today we've got a bit of a curve ball, a backdoor slider, but not really. It's Dan John, who is something of a Swiss army knife of wisdom and kindness and strength and conditioning. He's been a long time strength coach and a master communicator of how to get real-life strong, not influencer, flash-in-the-pan strong, the kind of strong that allows you to fill out your shirt, carry all the groceries in one go, and shovel the driveway without leaving yourself in traction for four days.I've recommended his books many times on this show and in newsletters, and his approach to strength very much rhymes with writing, so that's a big reason why I wanted to invite him on to talk it out. You can visit danjohnuniversity.com to learn more about him and to buy books like the Easy Strength Omnibook, Easy Strength for Fat Loss, his two Armor Building Formula books and his latest The Fitness Forge: Master coaching tools that build real strength.The real crux of easy strength is that it echoes what Percy Cerutty, the Australian running coach, had his runners do in the 1950s, and it's an approachable system that doesn't feel like you've been put through a wood chipper. I spent most of my 30s training like I was a juiced up bodybuilder, hobbling around most days with that deep, bone ache. As I've aged, training in that manner is unfeasible and, well, fucking stupid, plus easy strength is awesome for running, which I'm doing quite a lot these days.So Dan John has been a champion discus thrower coming up on the coattails of the great throwers of the 1970s, guys like Brian Oldfield and Mac Wilkins and Peter Shmock. His lifting approach has always been geared around utility, not aesthetics, by and large. He has written many books like Mass Made Simple, 40 Years with a Whistle, Can You Go, Never Let Go, and several others. Some are only available on the big A, others are available as PDFS through his website.They imbue a sense of possibility, that things are achievable, and that little and often over the long haul is doable and repeatable. If you're into fads, Dan is not for you and he often injects so much personal anecdote and wisdom from a life of nearly 70 years into his work and his podcast, the Dan John University Podcasts where he answers listener questions every week.He's very centering for me. Even hearing him talk through something as simple as his daily pirate map, which is a collection of daily habits, and merely hearing him so often articulate that defrags my computer, if that makes any sense.So in this conversation, we talk about: Parasocial relationships Marvel and Greek heroes The spiderweb effect of his brain Open Culture Little and often over the long haul The secret Being a slave to habits Parallels between lifting and writing Collecting the links Getting small, easy wins out of the way Inspiration is for amateurs Having skin in the game And community making us greatYou'll find dan @coachdanjohn on instagram and of course visit danjohnuniversity.com to see if his books or his inner circle is right for you.

With the rise of hormone therapy and anti-aging medical practices, how should amateur athletes be thinking about drug use?

Ed Morrissey, Managing Editor at Hot Air, and host of the Ed Morrissey Podcast, joins Seth to discuss his passion for photography and how the term "amateur" has become a misused and misunderstood concept. Tulsi Gabbard has announced her impending resignation as director of national intelligence. Ed shares his insights on the Democratic Party's recently-released autopsy report, which he believes is a cover-up of the party's real issues. He also discusses the party's lack of moderation and the rise of socialist and anti-Semitic ideologies within its ranks. Seth and Ed explore the story of Maureen Galindo, a Democratic Congressional candidate in Texas who sparked controversy with her comments about putting "billionaire Zionists" in concentration camps.

The two join Max and Ben to talk about how their new show Engagement Party is really just a continuation of their off-mic dynamic from their NPR days, how they've both dealt with the pivots and shifts that come with a career in modern media, and whether the growing crop of amateur podcasters (us included…) can learn something from the audio pros that came before them.

John Smoltz: From the Mound to the Senior Tees The guys kicked things off talking about John Smoltz's move into senior golf. Jeff and Scott broke down how a Hall‑of‑Fame pitcher can suddenly become a legit threat on the Champions Tour — apparently elite hand‑eye coordination doesn't disappear just because you stop throwing 97 mph. Why Your Short Game Deserves More Love Then Jeff went full professor mode, reminding everyone that if you want to score, you'd better learn to putt and chip like you mean it. Scott chimed in with the painful truth: amateurs spend 90% of their time on the range and 10% on the putting green… when it should probably be the other way around. PGA Tour Putting Stats: Prepare to Feel Bad John pulled up some Tour putting numbers, and the room collectively sighed. Tour pros make everything inside eight feet. Amateurs? We think we do… until someone actually measures it. Jeff hammered home the point: If you can't aim your putter, you're basically guessing. And most golfers? They're guessing. Why Club Fitting Isn't Optional Scott jumped in with a sermon on club fitting — especially putters. Lie angle, loft, head shape, grip size… all the stuff amateurs ignore but complain about when they miss a four‑footer Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Would you panic? Keval Hutheesing, CEO of Cygnet.One, was 25 when he suddenly became responsible for 900 people—in the middle of a crisis. No playbook. No certainty. And hundreds of people counting on his decisions. Most people think leadership in moments like that is about having the "right" answers. That's the mistake. As Keval told me: “I didn't have all the information… but I had our core goals and vision.” This raises a few uncomfortable questions for leaders in a crisis: - What do you do when you have to make an important decision with incomplete—or bad—data? - What if hesitating is higher risk than making the wrong call? - When the pressure is on what actually guides your decisions? Amateurs panic. Great leaders create direction. That's how his team stayed aligned, customers stayed supported, and eventually they achieved success and became even stronger. What's helps you stay calm under pressure?-----Connect with the Host, #1 bestselling author Ben FanningSpeaking and Training inquiresSubscribe to my Youtube channelLinkedInInstagramTwitter

Strauss highlights that while tactics are for amateurs, logistics are for professionals, citing Marcus Agrippa as the mastermind behind Octavian's strategy. Instead of invading Italy, Antony and Cleopatra waited in western Greece, allowing Agrippa to strike first in early 31 BC. Agrippa launched a daring, pre-dawn amphibious assault on Methone, a vital supply base guarded by the deposed King Bogud. This surprise victory effectively severed Antony's supply lines from Egypt, trapping his fleet at Actium. Antony's forces were soon plagued by hunger and disease in the malarial swamps of the Greek coast. Strauss explains that Agrippa utilized local guides and superior naval training to achieve this logistical "one-two punch." By the time the main battle arrived, Antony was already strategically defeated, his options limited to a desperate breakout attempt rather than a coordinated offensive. Agrippa's foresight turned the naval engagement into a foregone conclusion. (5/8)457 AMBROSIAN ILLIAD
