In a brand new podcast series called "Boss Status," Doug Miller sits down with Patrick Mabe and regular guests to talk about the business of health, and the health of business. In episode 7, fitness coach, Brian DeCosta joins the podcast to talk about the life of a social media influencer, coaching, leaving behind the 9-5 life for an entrepreneurial lifestyle, and so much more. It was a pleasure having Brian here and sitting down to pick his brain.

Brian Decosta is a superstar. Probably the best content creator in the fitness sphere nowadays. However, it wasn't always like that. Just four years ago, he was working on a cubicle, as an accountant, trying to "fit in". It was comfortable. But not where he wanted to be. He had to go through uncomfortable situations, but he did it because he understood that it was his responsibility to succeed. He refused to fail, cause at the end of the day, who says that you've failed? No one is sending you a "You failed" certificate in the mail. So he kept pushing and now, four years later, he's a reference who has helped over 2000 clients improve their fitness. Your success is your responsibility, and in this episode, Brian shares with us how you can actually be successful by going from comfort-driven to passion-driven. Disclaimer: This episode is a real gamechanger. Don't listen to it if you're not ready to get fired up about your dreams and passion. I've warned you. Follow Brian on Instagram at @briandecosta and on YouTube at Brian Decosta.

But everyone has a choice to go after what they want, live the lifestyle that makes them happy-fulfilled, and ultimately live their best life. Brian is a very courageous man. He left his job as an accountant that would have put him in a very stable and comfortable long-term career. But he saw the vision going forward within it and it didn’t look exciting…it looked draining and miserable to him. So, he followed his dream to be in the fitness industry and move to Los Angeles to ultimately chase living his best life!

Brian DeCosta has big biceps and an even bigger heart. He's an amazing human being who's incredibly grounded and humbled as a fitness influencer. Even with his success in the fitness industry, social media and as an entrepreneur, he stays true to his beliefs and values more than one would believe. With over 127k on Instagram alone (at the time of recording), growing around from 80k in just over a month! Also living with the most spectacular view of LA from the pristine location of Sherman Oaks... His hard work is undeniable. He's come from 4 years suffering from bulimia, an eating disorder that entails making yourself throw up after eating. This is generally triggered from the fear of disliking one's own image, yet the addiction to food is undeniable. So the clear option one may come up with is to throw it up after eating it. It's a scary world, but even I've done this a couple of times post competition in the past. Brian shares the darkness this brought upon him and how he went on to overcome this issue. He's now on a mission to not only help those with eating disorders, but also those who struggle around food and time in general, but want to achieve a fitter, healthier and stronger self - mind and body.

Episode 02 - Brian Decosta - Utilizing the Power of Believing in Yourself to Create the Life You Love __ Today on Stronger Self Radio Brian and I talk about how you can create a business and lifestyle that you love by believing in yourself and the importance of mindset in creating success and happiness in your life. In this episode, we talk about: -How an almost fatal car accident changed the trajectory of his life and forced him to question what means the most to him in his life. -How Brian executed his passion into a vision and then ultimately a reality that he owns as his own successful business. -Why uncovering a deeper message has been important in his own life and growing his business as a whole. -How to deal with negativity (both from strangers and the people you love) and ultimately how to believe in yourself. -The importance of mindset in virtually everything you do (and his powerful morning routine that changes the outlook of his entire day) -The importance of developing and helping improve himself so he can best serve others. -How fitness helped him find a more confident self that branched out into being a better man. -What it means to pursue a stronger self. __ Some Important Quotes From the Episode: “Fitness has really taught me discipline and instill the principle that there is no such thing as something for nothing.... you can be born with money, career, family with great relationships... but when it comes to a physique you love and being healthy, that work is only achieved through your own determination and hard work.” “We have hit some dark points in our life and some deep struggles and only through those struggles has it given us that strength to really step outside of the norm and talk about things that are so important to use” “Growing up I was always a self-conscience kid.... I was a people pleasure... the idea of people not liking me scared me.... I was always scared of thought of someone saying something bad about me and it really chained me down earlier in life.... then I shifted my mindset” “I was working 9 to 5, wasn’t a fan of it, and I was a consumer of social media content at work... and I was finally like ‘hey what these people do to be able to work for themselves really isn’t super miraculous and I feel as though I can do this.” “I truly believe that if you can get your mind right about something everything will come before you.” __ You can connect and find out more about what Brian is up to on IG, Twitter, FB, and YouTube via @BrianDecosta __ Join the Movement. www.thestrongerselfmovement.com And Together We Can Pursue Our #StrongerSelf __ Music by: BVRNOUT & KROMATIKS - Follow Your Heart ft.
