Grounding self-worth in internal validation means valuing yourself based on personal strengths, virtues, and growth rather than external praise or material success. This mindset promotes a deeper sense of self-awareness and resilience, enabling individuals to navigate life's ups and downs with greater stability and confidence. Embracing this approach fosters genuine self-acceptance and a more fulfilling sense of worthiness. Bart Kwan shares his story of overcoming a difficult childhood through the military and higher education and shares lessons on deriving motivation from within, maintaining momentum in the face of obstacles, and balancing efficiency with quality in one's work. Join in as young leaders pose inquiries about life, personal development, and beyond! Quotes: “If you can pay the bills, wake up with a smile, go to sleep with a smile, feel like you're living a life that you're meant to live and feel proud of yourself, I think you're successful.” – Bart Kwan “Violence of action is good. It's good for literally almost any athletic activity that you do.” – Bart Kwan “If you have your back against the wall, but you're still searching, there's got to be a way out." – Bart Kwan Takeaways: Identify what truly motivates you and brings you joy. Consider pursuing opportunities that align with your passions, even if they differ from expectations. Develop resilience through challenging yourself physically and mentally. When faced with adversity, continue striving for progress rather than accepting defeat. Balance speed and efficiency with quality in your work. Execute ideas quickly while continuously improving your process and end results. Examine how pride and insecurity influence your perspectives and decisions. Strive to ground your self-worth in internal validation rather than external factors. Conclusion: Bart's discussion highlighted personal growth, discipline from martial arts, and ethical business practices. His journey emphasizes resilience and reflection, offering listeners valuable lessons on passion, overcoming challenges, and serving others.

(This is the first of two episodes with Bart. The second will appear in a few weeks). The experience of running multiple businesses over zoom calls, and trying to stay in shape while rarely leaving the house, was enough for Bart and his wife Geo to decide they could free themselves and their family from LA life and move to Las Vegas. The plan? To continue to largely operate remotely as much as possible. With a number of businesses, including a demanding comedy production company and a powerlifting gym with a huge membership, how do they think they’ll make it work? Some of our questions: When is remote actually better and when is it worse? Is it harder for some than others? What do you do when your motivation for actually working out in a gym is the desire to be around other people? You can find Bart on Instagram @bartkwan, at barbellbrigade.com, and on YouTube.

Full transparency, the main question is discussed in the last 15 minutes of the show. In part 1, we talk about what we’ve been up to during our production break for the holidays and plans for some future episodes of the show. NOTE: Next week we’re going to discuss the HBO documentary “Fake Famous” (trailer here) and the relationship between the fitness/lifting community and social media. If you’ve watched the doc, send us your written comments or voice memos to social@50percentfacts.com. Next month, we’re going to talk about the influence of the documentary “Pumping Iron” in an episode. In part 2, we’re joined by Eric (in New Zealand) and Omar (in Toronto). We really missed talking to these dudes! We talked about how we’ve all weathered the isolation of the pandemic, how current conditions have impacted our businesses, and whether we really even liked travel anyway. Eric holds a BS in fitness and wellness, an MS in exercise science, a second masters in sports nutrition, a PhD in strength and conditioning, and is a research fellow for AUT at the Sports Performance Research Institute New Zealand. Omar is a successful YouTube content creator from Canada, a partner with Mike Farr and Bart Kwan on Kizen Training, as well as pursuing other business ventures. He’s also a keen observer of media.

The existence of weight classes and coefficients drive many people to do last minute weight cuts, but many don’t make the best choices when making these cuts. If competition is about being your best, are you setting yourself up for a sub-par performance? There are many ways to cut, but which ways are optimal? We cover these points, and the questions below, in this very compact episode. How much is too much to lose for a 24-hour weigh-in? Or a two-hour weigh-in? Are laxatives a good idea or will you have to poop on the platform? Can you cut enough weight without manipulating water intake? Do you have to cut carbs? Or salt? How do you put the weight back on quickly, safely, and without stomach upset? Is pigging out ever a good idea?   Eric holds a BS in fitness and wellness, an MS in exercise science, a second masters in sports nutrition, a PhD in strength and conditioning, and is a research fellow for AUT at the Sports Performance Research Institute New Zealand.

Once again, we take on this question with that help of guests Eric Helms and Omar Isuf. With the known injury rates of many sports…including or maybe especially strength sports…maybe we should all just…be bodybuilders? Unpacking this question inevitably leads to more questions: Can you actually call bodybuilding a sport? Is bodybuilding style training actually safer in terms of injuries? Do you have to use performance enhancing drugs? Is the “bodybuilding lifestyle” actually healthy? Does bodybuilding – or other types of aesthetic competition – lead inevitably to disordered eating? Are you really a bodybuilder if you don’t actually compete? Is the sacrifice worth it in the end? Eric holds a BS in fitness and wellness, an MS in exercise science, a second masters in sports nutrition, a PhD in strength and conditioning, and is a research fellow for AUT at the Sports Performance Research Institute New Zealand. Omar is a successful YouTube content creator from Canada, a partner with Mike Farr and Bart Kwan on Kizen Training, as well has pursuing other business ventures. He’s also a keen observer of media.

On this episode, we have the people behind Bopomofo Cafe, Shrimp Daddy, Sip Matcha, Drips and Swirls, and Barbell Brigade discuss and share their experiences making brick and mortar businesses.

We take on this question with that help of previous guests Eric Helms and Omar Isuf, who joined us in studio. Eric holds a BS in fitness and wellness, an MS in exercise science, a second masters in sports nutrition, a PhD in strength and conditioning, and is a research fellow for AUT at the Sports Performance Research Institute New Zealand. Omar is a successful YouTube content creator from Canada, a partner with Mike Farr and Bart Kwan on Kizen Training, as well has pursuing other business ventures. He’s also a keen observer of media.  Here's part of how we broke it down.  What sets off our BS detectors? What are some common elements of gimmicks and scams in fitness? Is anything ever really too good to be true? Who usually ends up pitching them? How should scrupulous marketers (and content creators) craft their messages in ways that are not misleading? You can find Eric at 3DMuscleJourney.com and on Instagram: @helms3dmj You can find Omar on his hugely successful YouTube channel. And Instagram as @omarisuf.

So many people are focusing on building personal brands or becoming “influencers”--  often through social media, YouTube, podcasts, etc. – but has the time already passed? Will it still work if you start today? We asked our good friend Omar Isuf for his perspective -- and advice -- relative to this question. Omar is a successful YouTube content creator from Canada, a partner with Silent Mike and Bart Kwan on Kizen Training, as well has pursuing other business ventures. He's also a keen observer of media. Mike kicks off the discussion with the theory that hitting it big in social media is becoming as rare and unlikely as making it in the NBA. Eventually the real question comes: can you actually make a living through these avenues if you didn’t start five or ten years ago? We talked through a number of factors: Is it harder to stand out now…or actually easier? What’s possible now that didn’t used to be? Is it too late to make money on YouTube through “easy” monetization? Does taking “cheap” sponsorships impact earnings for everyone? Which strategies might work now? Is having an attractive image enough? Along the way we name check The Sandlot, Babe Ruth, Prince, Howard Stern, Joe Rogan, Brendan Schaub, Joey Diaz, and Pornhub. We also kick around masterminds, selling merch, developing your own products, paywalled content, reality TV, vlogging, failed porn actors, Luminary for podcasts, and anti-intellectualism. One hint at our answer: Success leaves clues   You can find Omar on his hugely successful YouTube channel. And Instagram as @omarisuf. Check out his new podcast, Iron Culture, with Eric Helms.    Hosted by Mike Farr (@silentmikke) and Jim McDonald (@thejimmcd). Produced by Jim McDonald Production assistance by Connor O’Neal.

We had some fun with this episode by breaking format and having an extended conversation with our good friend, Omar Isuf. Omar is a successful YouTube content creator, a partner with Silent Mike and Bart Kwan on Kizen Training, as well has pursuing other business ventures. He's also a keen observer of media. We talked about a variety of topics, but one central theme was effective storytelling in popular culture: Can’t anybody make a movie that’s not about a superhero anymore? Why do some stories resonate more than others? How does a good story cause you to suspend disbelief? Does the kind of story you enjoy reflect how you think about yourself? Here’s a link to the Star Wars line that Mark Hamill refused to say.  (Yes, we discussed Avengers: End Game and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.) In our next episode, we get down to business and tackle the question “Is it too late to get a huge following on YouTube and social media?” You can find Omar on his hugely successful YouTube channel. And on Instagram as @omarisuf. Check out his new podcast, Iron Culture, with Eric Helms.    Hosted by Mike Farr (@silentmikke) and Jim McDonald (@thejimmcd).
