Host Nik delivers a practical, self-reflective episode recorded from the gym. This episode challenges coaches to audit their own blind spots using a 10-question diagnostic, introduces the concept of coaching as a learnable skill requiring ongoing assessment, and previews a client re-engagement intervention method to be covered in depth in Episode 3.High performing coach Scorecard00:02Welcome & ContextNik introduces Episode 2, notes the gym setting, and flags this episode will be interactive — asking listeners to participate while they listen.00:40Self-Awareness as a CoachCore theme introduced: the importance of being self-aware as a coach. Nik teases a diagnostic tool linked in the description for a deeper blind spot assessment.01:30Coaching as a SkillCoaching reframed as an acquired skill, not an innate ability. Skill acquisition requires practice, feedback, and a continuous improvement loop.02:00Lack of Assessment in the IndustryChallenges coaches to ask: 'Have I ever genuinely been assessed as a coach?' Argues that Level 3 qualifications test instruction, not coaching.02:28Defining CoachingCoaching defined as creating an environment where clients can make conscious decisions on their actions, behaviours, and goals. Coaches facilitate; they don't dictate.03:30The Cost of No FeedbackOutlines the cascade effect of never being assessed: missed development → poorer client results → lower retention → less income and confidence.04:40The 10-Question Self-AssessmentNik introduces the scoring system (1 = Strongly Disagree, 5 = Strongly Agree, max score 50) and walks through all 10 questions.10:00Score InterpretationBreaks down what your score means: 40–50 rare depth, 30–39 strong but inconsistent, below 30 is a retention risk.10:40Free Diagnostic ToolNik directs listeners to a free full diagnostic (link in description) — generates an immediate report with blind spots and actionable development areas.12:00Early Signs of DisengagementBridges to the broader series theme: recognising when clients are starting to disengage, regress in adherence, or drift in the relationship.12:50Preview: Intervention MethodTeases an intervention method used within the Connected Coach programme. Full verbal case study will be covered in Episode 3 with a question bank.Questions for the self assessment StatementWhat It Reveals1I can clearly articulate why a client is training beyond aesthetics and gym-based goals.Tests your ability to uncover the emotional 'why' behind surface-level goals.2I regularly check that a client's goals haven't subtly changed.Goals shift over time. Coaches who don't realign lose relevance and trust.3I regularly gather critical, unbiased feedback from clients.Testimonials aren't feedback. Are you proactively seeking honest critique?4A client could articulate the journey phases and milestones for the next 12 months.Measures whether clients feel a sense of direction and co-ownership of the plan.5I help clients see progress beyond scale weight, photos, and surface-level goals.Resilience in adherence depends on recognising non-aesthetic progress.6My clients understand why we do what we do.Understanding builds autonomy and reduces dependency on you to stay motivated.7I coach habits and behaviours — not just sessions and tick-box to-do lists.The difference between a trainer and a coach lives here.8Clients can describe how they've changed as a person since starting.Identity-level change is the strongest predictor of long-term adherence.9I adjust my coaching style to the individual, not my preferences.Everyone says yes — but without personality or communication assessments, how do you actually know?10I'm confident I'm not projecting my training values onto clients.Your relationship with fitness is not your client's. Projection erodes trust.

In this episode, Erica and I talk about the role of the International Coach Federation (ICF) Code of Ethics, and why ethics should never feel like a restrictive set of rules. Instead, ethics are really about love, respect, and protecting the coaching relationship.We explore why clarity with clients matters—from written agreements to how faith might show up in sessions—and how being transparent builds trust.One of the most powerful parts of our conversation centers around the influence we carry as coaches. When clients bring deep emotions or spiritual questions into a session, it can be tempting to guide, correct, or even teach. But coaching isn't about persuasion or authority—it's about curiosity, partnership, and honoring the client's own journey.Ultimately, faith and ethics aren't in competition with one another. When done well, they actually strengthen each other.Integrity builds trust.And trust creates space for transformation.If you're a coach who wants to grow in both your spiritual formation and professional practice, this conversation will encourage you to stay grounded, humble, and client-centered as you serve others.FREE RESOURCES:Link to ICF Code of Ethicshttps://coachingfederation.org/credentialing/coaching-ethics/icf-code-of-ethics/Listen to our sister podcast the REALIFE Practice Podcast on your Favorite Podcast AppTake the FREE Intro to Needs & Values AssessmentReady to discover what uniquely matters to YOU?

Film study has always been one of the most time-consuming parts of the coaching profession. Hours of data entry, tagging plays, and searching through film can take coaches away from what matters most developing players and preparing their team. ANSRS is changing that. In this video, we take a closer look at how ANSRS is transforming the way football coaches analyze film, build scouting reports, and make in-game adjustments. Built by a former college coach who experienced the grind of the film room firsthand, ANSRS automates film breakdown, instantly generates video cutups, and allows coaches to filter game situations in seconds. Instead of digging through endless hours of film, coaches can now find exactly what they need with a few clicks. Programs across the country are using ANSRS to streamline film study, improve game planning, and make faster adjustments on Friday nights and Saturdays. Learn how this technology is helping football staffs work smarter and giving coaches more time to do what they love coach the game. This content was created in partnership with ANSRS.

What if confidence isn't something you're born with—but something you can train? In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Avik, we explore how mindset coaching can transform performance, leadership, and self-belief. Guest Janet Dickey, a field hockey coach with 35 years of experience, shares how she built championship teams by focusing on confidence, culture, and mental resilience. This conversation is for coaches, athletes, parents, and anyone who struggles with self-doubt or pressure. You'll hear practical tools—from mindset resets to team culture strategies—that help people show up fully, even when confidence feels shaky. About the Guest: Janet Dickey is a professional mindset coach, creator of the Build to Compete mindset blueprint, and longtime head field hockey coach at Westbrook High School. Over 35 years, she has led teams to multiple honors and built a culture centered on confidence and resilience. Episode Chapters: 00:03:39 – Why confidence is a trainable skill 00:07:34 – The turning point that changed Janet's coaching approach 00:11:07 – Confidence vs. comparison in the social media era 00:13:00 – The BRAVER mindset reset technique 00:16:11 – Turning a small team into champions 00:18:38 – Helping underperforming athletes rediscover belief 00:26:09 – A simple mantra for everyday resilience Key Takeaways: Confidence grows through practice, support, and mindset tools—not personality. Create distraction-free environments where athletes can focus and reset mentally. Use simple frameworks like breathing, affirmations, visualization, and reset cues. Celebrate small wins publicly to reinforce belief within the team. Coaches should guide athletes to become problem-solvers, not just followers.

 Dr. Debi Silber breaks down exactly why betrayal hits differently than other types of trauma — and why understanding that difference is the key to actually healing from it. Drawing on her PhD research and work with over 100,000 people, Dr. Debi explains the three discoveries that changed everything, why so many people suffer in silence, and how coaches and practitioners can better serve clients who've been betrayed.  Key Topics Discussed  The Three Discoveries from Dr. Debi's PhD Research  Betrayal is a different type of trauma that requires a different way to heal  There is a specific collection of physical, mental, and emotional symptoms so common to betrayal it's now known as Post Betrayal Syndrome®  Healing is proven and predictable — there are Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough™, and we know what happens at every stage and what it takes to move through each one  Why Betrayal Is Different from Other Traumas  With other traumas, you grieve and rebuild your life. With betrayal, you must rebuild both your life and yourself — your sense of identity, safety, confidence, worthiness, trust, and belonging are all shattered.  The person who caused the harm is typically the same person you would have turned to for support — making betrayal uniquely isolating.  Unlike other traumas that draw community support, betrayal often brings silence, minimization, or abandonment from those closest to you.  Many betrayed people suffer alone — embarrassed, humiliated, and ashamed over something that was done tothem.  The Trust Shattering Effect When the person you trusted most proves untrustworthy, it doesn't just damage trust in them — it destroys your entire internal system for discerning trustworthiness. You stop trusting yourself. This is why telling betrayal survivors to "just trust in a low-stakes situation" misses the mark entirely.  What This Means for Coaches and Practitioners  Post Betrayal Syndrome® and the Five Stages were not part of your coaching, therapy, or somatic training — and it's not your fault.  Your most resistant, cycling, or plateau-ing clients may be betrayal clients — even if they're coming to you for something completely unrelated (weight, gut issues, anxiety, leadership struggles, business blocks).  Stage Three looks like "I'm fine" — but fine is functional, not transformed. Knowing the language of each stage helps you recognize when a client is ready to move deeper rather than exit the process early.  47% of people who've been betrayed have a weight issue. 45% have gut or digestive issues. Healing the root (betrayal) heals the symptoms.  Resources Mentioned  UNSTUCK: The Practitioner's Guide to Moving Betrayal Clients from Survival to Transformation — Dr. Debi's newest book, available now with bonuses at thepbtinstitute.com/unstuck: https://thepbtinstitute.com/unstuck/   PBT Certification Program — the #1 betrayal recovery certification for life, business, health, and leadership coaches (ICF-approved): https://thepbtinstitute.com/get-certified/   Waitlist for working with a certified PBT Coach: thepbtinstitute.com  Connect with Dr. Debi  Website: thepbtinstitute.com https://thepbtinstitute.com   Podcast: From Betrayal to Breakthrough 

Some coaches leave the sport because they're burned out.Some leave because they've lost their passion.Devin Green stepped away for a different reason — his son.In this deeply honest conversation, Devin walks us through a coaching journey that started with a high-school 4x400 emergency, grew through years of building programs in Arizona, and ultimately led to one of the hardest decisions a coach can make: choosing family over the stopwatch.This isn't a retirement story.It's a priority story.In this episode, Devin shares:

Most people say they want change but fail to take the consistent action needed to actually make it happen. In this episode, Shawn dives into why so many business owners, entrepreneurs, and fitness enthusiasts waste time before seeking coaching and how recognizing the truth about what you need is the first step to real results. He shares strategies for compressing time, taking immediate action, and overcoming habits, mindset blocks, and hesitation that hold you back. If you are ready to stop delaying the changes you know you need and start seeing real progress in your business, health, or personal life, this episode will give you the guidance and clarity to take action now.

SummaryIn this Coaches Roundtable episode, Chase Smith and Chris Bealhen break down three big topics that confuse a lot of people in the health and fitness world. Gut health, fat loss plateaus, and VO2 max.They start the episode talking about a major problem in the fitness space today. There is simply too much information. People are constantly told they need new diets, supplements, workouts, or “protocols” to see results. But the truth is most people would see progress by sticking to the basics like eating more protein, drinking more water, moving daily, and focusing on whole foods.The coaches then answer a question about gut health. They explain what gut health actually is and why things like fiber, hydration, sleep, movement, and stress management matter far more than expensive supplements or trendy gut protocols. They also discuss fermented foods like kombucha, kimchi, sauerkraut, and pickles and whether eating them daily really makes a difference.Next, they tackle a common fat loss struggle. What should you do if you are eating around 1,400 calories, feeling full, but not losing weight? Chase and Chris explain how tracking accuracy, calorie awareness, and long periods of dieting can affect progress. They also talk about why increasing calories sometimes helps people move forward again.Finally, they break down VO2 max in simple terms. It is a measurement of how well your body uses oxygen during exercise and is often shown on smart watches. While watches are not perfectly accurate, improving the trend usually means your cardiovascular fitness is improving.This episode cuts through the noise of the fitness industry and brings the focus back to simple habits that actually drive results.Chapters(00:00) The Fitness Industry Is Flooding You With Too Much Information(03:00) Why Most People Just Need the Basics to See Results(07:10) A New Way to Experience Coaching Before Committing(09:00) What Gut Health Actually Means(12:10) Do Fermented Foods and Probiotics Really Help?(15:00) The Problem With “Gut Protocols” and Supplement Trends(17:40) I Eat 1,400 Calories But I'm Not Losing Weight(20:00) Tracking Accuracy and Hidden Calories(22:00) Why Hunger Can Actually Be a Good Sign During Fat Loss(24:00) How Reverse Dieting Helps Increase Calories Again(25:00) What VO2 Max Is and Why It Matters for Your HealthSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective

There may come a point in your coaching business where on paper, everything is going pretty well. You have clients. You're getting results. Your niche “makes sense.” And yet… Something feels off. In this episode, I'm talking about what it really means when you start to feel like you've outgrown your coaching niche — and how to evolve without blowing up your website, scrapping your SEO, or having a full identity crisis. Because here's the truth: Outgrowing a niche isn't failure. It's often growth. I walk you through: The subtle signs you're feeling misaligned (resentment, depletion, creative boredom) Why niching is about clarity — not a life sentence How I personally test new ideas and programs without rebranding everything The difference between being pushed by frustration and pulled by expansion Why you're absolutely allowed to have more than one niche And how your coaching identity — not your niche — is the real anchor in your business I also share how this evolution has shown up in my own work over the years — from burnout coaching to alcohol work, to life transitions, to business coaching — and how I've allowed multiple niches to coexist under one consistent brand and philosophy. And if you're feeling the pull toward a new niche but questioning whether you have the skill set or confidence to support a broader range of clients, this is exactly why I created the Confident Coaching Skills Intensive (CCSI). The CCSI is designed to deepen your coaching confidence so you're not limited by one narrow topic. It helps you expand your range, coach more flexibly, and trust yourself in new territory — so when you feel that evolution happening, you can move toward it intelligently instead of reactively. Enrolment is closing soon, and it's a small, intimate room. If this episode resonates, that might be your sign. Bottom line? You don't need to burn your business down because you're bored. But you also don't need to ignore the boredom. It might be the beginning of your next great coaching offer. Episode Resources:

Recorded: January 20th 2023 | In this Best of the Bus throwback, the Boys went to Las Vegas where newest Baltimore Ravens pass rusher Maxx Crosby welcomed them into his home to hang out and talk ball. From kicking it with his dogs to diving into his long-term goals, Maxx opens up about the mindset and work ethic that drives him to keep improving every season. He also shares what it was like being teammates with Antonio Brown and Davante Adams, giving the Boys a behind-the-scenes look at the personalities inside the locker room. The conversation shifts to the Derek Carr situation in Las Vegas and how Maxx processed everything as it unfolded. Maxx then delivers a classic monologue about his All-Pro mentality and the standard he holds himself to—one of those speeches that’ll make you want to run through a brick wall. With Maxx recently being traded to the Ravens, it felt like the perfect time to revisit this conversation from his days with the Las Vegas Raiders and hear the mindset that made him one of the most respected defensive players in the league.

Episode Summary In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive into high-performance strategies for business coaches—drawing lessons from Olympic athletes, the psychology of winning, the keys to building (and keeping) momentum, and the art of leveraging staff, referrals, and advertising for exponential business growth. Packed with practical frameworks, real-life stories, and Karl's signature analogies (from roller hockey to dolphins), the episode reveals why elite coaches and businesses succeed—and how listeners can replicate their approach for long-term results. Key Topics Covered The Psychology of Olympic-Level Success Karl Bryan unpacks how the athlete's journey mirrors that of the ambitious business owner or coach—both must manage mindset at the beginning, middle, and end of their journeys. Lessons are drawn from Olympic stories, including Lindsey Vonn's career, transitions, and the psychological challenge of what happens "after the medal." Momentum: How to Build It and Never Lose It Elite performers hit the gas pedal after success, not before. Signing a client? Double down and sign another instead of celebrating too long. Karl shares why consistency outpaces one-time effort, and actionable habits for coaches to lock success rhythms in. Staffing and Leverage for Big Results Big goals require teams—not solo grinds. Karl explains the value of hiring "first-round draft picks" and why one A-player can outperform five mediocre hires. Firmness, not harshness: How to foster high standards and resolve staff conflict with presence, empathy, and accountability. The Power of "Selling Through, Not To" (Joint Ventures) Deep dive into referral and JV strategies: Why working with partners like accountants, business brokers, and promotional companies can 10x (or 50x) your business. Step-by-step: How to structure win-win "test drive" arrangements to gain referrals and scale with minimal cold outreach. Advertising: Shortcut to Growth or Costly Trap? Karl distinguishes between rushed, ineffective "hope" ads and smart, operating-system-led campaigns. Why many business owners should fix their system first, then advertise, and how to teach clients this discipline. Consistency and Demonstrating What You Want to Attract Building disciplined, consistent habits (like daily emails, weekly events) attracts committed, disciplined clients and JV partners over time. Notable Quotes "The elite hit the gas pedal after success. The non-elite celebrate too long." "You have to fall in love with the process, not the destination… If you hit the goal, and you don't have another, you fall backwards." "Don't do your best. Do what it takes." "Your biggest accomplishments will come through other people." "Advertising to profit is a superpower… but it's not a shortcut. You need an operating system first." "Hire slow, fire fast… The one who gets the best player wins the trade." "Demonstrate it, then you'll attract it—discipline is magnetic." Actionable Takeaways Always Set the Next Target: After you land a win—a new client, a successful event, or a JV, don't pause to celebrate. Immediately schedule and line up the next one to keep momentum compounding. Book Events in Batches: If live events work for you, don't book one—book ten at a time. This creates ongoing pressure and forward motion. Hire for Excellence: Treat each team addition as a draft pick. One top performer can be worth a handful of mediocre staff. Cultivate excellence and resolve conflict with empathy, not harshness. Initiate JV 'Test Drives': Approach JV partners (accountants, brokers, ad reps) by solving their biggest pain points—run a no-risk "test drive" for 3 clients and let your results sell you. Don't Rush Advertising: Before running ads, ensure the "operating system" of your business (or client's business) is air-tight—cost control, clarity of offer, and ability to handle leads. Leverage Proximity Marketing: Use lawn signs, "Good Neighbor Programs," and hyper-local advertising for service businesses—it's often the cheapest, most effective form of ad spend. Serve and Demonstrate Consistently: Showing up every week, delivering value, and embodying discipline/consistency will magnetize your ideal business partners and clients. Resources Mentioned Profit Acceleration Software 2.0 (by Karl Bryan)—business coaching's premier toolkit to help maximize client results and command high fees. Focused.com—Daily emails, coaching frameworks, and software demos for business coaches. The Six-Figure Coach Magazine—Karl's free magazine for business coaches. Networking/JV Sources: Target accountants, business brokers, advertising sales reps, and promotional companies for high-value partnerships. Good Neighbor Program: Local marketing system for service pros.

I spent an afternoon at Ramsey Solutions in Tennessee with Jason Williams, Vice President of Sales for the EntreLeadership Division. What stood out wasn’t the size of the operation or the fancy building. It was walking into a room where sales reps genuinely wanted to talk to their leader. Most sales floors feel like number factories. Reps avoid their managers. One-on-ones get rescheduled. And everyone wonders why performance stays flat despite “investing in our people.” Sales leaders say coaching matters. They talk about developing talent. Then they spend their days staring at dashboards and asking why the team isn’t getting better. Real sales coaching looks nothing like what most organizations call coaching. And after watching Jason work, I’m reminded why so few leaders actually get this right. What Sales Coaching Actually Looks Like Jason told me about one of his reps who started missing quota. Here’s what usually happens: Manager pulls up the CRM, points at red pipeline metrics, asks what happened. The conversation goes nowhere. Rep gets defensive, makes excuses, promises to work harder. Nothing changes. Jason took a different approach. He asked about his rep’s life. Turned out he was stressed about buying his first house. That weight was bleeding into his work, affecting his confidence on calls, making him hesitant to push for commitments. So Jason got into the field with him. He listened to calls. He rode along on appointments. He watched where deals were actually stalling. Then they debriefed what he observed. “Here’s what happens when pricing comes up.” “Let’s tighten how you handle that objection.” Zero mention of quota or pipeline metrics. The rep turned it around because someone cared enough to understand what was broken and help him fix it. That’s what coaching looks like. Managers react to outcomes they can’t change. Coaches focus on behaviors that create future outcomes. Why Most Leaders Don’t Coach The biggest barrier isn’t that leaders don’t want to coach. Most genuinely do. The problem is they don’t know what they’re looking for because they never see their reps in action. Think about last week. How many discovery calls did you listen to? How many demos did you observe? How many customer meetings did you attend just to watch your rep work? If the answer is zero, you’re coaching from spreadsheets instead of reality. You’re looking at lag indicators (closed deals, pipeline value, activity counts) and trying to diagnose skill gaps without ever seeing the skills in action. Jason blocks time every week to observe his reps. He's not there to supervise them or take over calls. Just to watch. Then the coaching becomes specific. He can say, “when that prospect brought up budget concerns, you deflected instead of asking questions,” instead of just “you need to handle objections better.” You can’t coach what you don’t see.  The second barrier is culture. In typical organizations, admitting weakness feels dangerous. You’re supposed to be confident, crushing it, always having answers. So problems stay hidden until they show up in the numbers. By then, it’s too late to coach. You’re in damage control. Creating an Environment Where Problems Surface Early Jason builds what he calls a “safe space” for his team. When a rep is struggling, he starts the conversation with curiosity instead of judgment. He asks open questions about what they’re experiencing, where they’re getting stuck, what feels hard right now. When reps admit struggles, he treats it as useful information, not a character flaw. A rep says, “I’m nervous on C-suite calls,” and Jason’s response is “okay, let’s work on that,” not “you shouldn’t be nervous.” Then he follows through. If someone admits they’re stuck, he actually helps them. He role-plays the situation. He rides along on the next similar call. He provides tools and frameworks. The rep sees that honesty led to help, not punishment. Over time, reps learn that surfacing problems early gets them solved. Hiding problems just makes things worse. So they start talking about what’s actually happening instead of pretending everything is fine while their numbers slide. The first time someone admits a weakness and you respond with frustration, you train the entire team to stay quiet. Managers say they want transparency. Few consistently reward it. How to Actually Build a Coaching Culture If you want to coach instead of manage, you have to make developing people the primary job.  Jason is clear that his main responsibility is making his reps better. Everything else supports that goal. Pipeline reviews and forecasting matter, but they exist to serve sales coaching, not the other way around. Protecting coaching time is non-negotiable. One hour per rep per week, minimum. When conflicts come up, the internal meeting gets moved, not the coaching session. Getting better at coaching matters too. Most of us got promoted because we were individual contributors. Nobody taught us how to develop other people. So we replicate whatever leadership we experienced, which is usually mediocre. Your reps practice selling every day. You should practice coaching. Role-play difficult conversations with your peers. Practice giving feedback. Work on observation skills. Treat coaching like the professional skill it is. And you have to measure what matters. If you only track team revenue, you’ll optimize for short-term numbers at the expense of development. Start measuring coaching conversations. Track whether your reps are improving on specific skills. Monitor how long it takes new hires to ramp. When I walked through Ramsey Solutions that day, I could feel the difference. Reps weren’t avoiding their leader. Retention was better. Performance was compounding over time instead of bouncing around based on whoever happened to be hot that quarter. What Happens Next Look at your calendar from last week. How much time did you spend observing your reps versus reviewing their numbers? How many true coaching conversations did you have versus pipeline reviews? If that ratio doesn't reflect what you say your priorities are, you've found the gap. Your reps don't need another dashboard. They need a leader who sees the work, understands where it's breaking down, and knows how to help them improve. Sales coaching isn't reacting to results. It's shaping the behaviors that create them. The question is whether you're willing to make that your real job. — Ready to build a stronger sales team?

In Episode 212 we answer our March Instagram questions across a full spectrum of training and nutrition topics. We cover how we'd approach movement assessments with in-person clients, managing a reverse diet after significant fat loss, and our takeaways from Scott Stevenson's discussion on mind-muscle connection versus training to failure. Same-muscle-group supersets, rep tempo and the fatigue cost of slow negatives, exercise selection consistency, and the hypertrophy merit of low-rep cluster sets with heavy loads.On the nutrition side, we address the macros versus calories debate for body recomposition, how we handle missed rep or RIR targets mid-session, and what it realistically takes to improve abdominal definition at low body fat.Enjoy!Timestamps:00:01:40 - Why did you hop on TRT? Were you experiencing signs of low test? 00:16:30 - If you train a client in person, what kind of movement screen or assessment would you do? 00:20:14 - Post long diet (down 8kg and ~10% bf so far). Fats are at .6 per kg. Prefer increase in carbs for reverse diet? 00:25:44 - You mentioned Scott Stevenson discussing MMC versus failure. Can you elaborate your takeaways? 00:31:32 - When doing same muscle group supersets (iso to compound), should you take the first movement to failure or stop at 1-3 RIR? 00:35:59 - What's your perspective on rep tempo? Specifically the negative. I feel like slow negatives are super fatiguing…00:40:42 - Keep exercises the same or change them frequently? Why? 00:45:20 - What do you think of taking a heavy weight (Like 5-6 RM), and doing a buncha sets of 2-3 reps? Good for hypertrophy? 00:48:43 - You're def looking bigger and more jacked since TRT. What do you think? 00:54:34 - Order these in terms of systemic stress: Upper body lift, lower body lift, Zone 2 cardio, HIIT cardio. 00:58:55 - If you miss a rep or RIR target, do you prefer to drop weight or rest longer for the next set?01:01:55 - What is more important for body recomp, Macros or calories?01:05:56 - How to tighten the abdominal area? 39 years old. Female. 5'2. 112 lbs. 13% body fat but soft abs/no definition. No kids. Lifts 5x week. Cardio 3-4x.

Most coaches aren't losing because they lack talent, they're losing because they don't know how to communicate in a way that makes people want to buy. This episode breaks down the real meta-skill behind six- and seven-figure coaching businesses: persuasive communication, or "magic messaging." In a world flooded with AI-generated noise, the speaker explains why saying the right words, in the right way, to the right people, is what creates consistent, pre-sold buyers.    "It's not about the strategies and tactics. It's about the belief first, because you have to believe what you need to believe in order to take the right actions to get the result."   Must-Know Insights: Persuasive communication, not talent, is what drives income: Coaches earn more when they know how to make people want to buy, not just when they're good at their craft. Belief-shifting converts; education alone does not Teaching informs, but changing how prospects think is what moves them to take action. Speak your client's inner language, not coach jargon: Conversions happen when your words mirror what your ideal client is already thinking and feeling. No funnel or ad can fix weak messaging: As echoed by Russell Brunson, traffic only amplifies what your message is already doing—good or bad. Persuasive communication is a transferable, income-multiplying skill: Once mastered, it works across content, sales calls, offers, and business models.   Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

He talks about learning from mentors like John Wooden, building relationships with players, and why coaching goes far beyond X's and O's. For Torino, the job isn't just about basketball — it's about understanding people.The conversation moves into the realities of development in today's game. They unpack why shooting is still the most valuable skill on the floor, how social media is shaping young athletes' expectations, and what coaches actually look for when they recruit players. Torino explains the difference he's seen coaching men and women, why curiosity matters more than ego, and why the best players are usually the ones who stay open to learning.Obi reflects on his own experiences as a professional athlete, from representing Nigeria on the international stage to working with younger players who are chasing the same dream. Together they talk about the importance of humility, building real relationships inside a team, and why growth in basketball often starts with growth as a person.This episode isn't just about basketball.It's about leadership.It's about perspective.And it's about understanding that the best coaches — and the best players — are the ones who never stop learning.Make sure to follow us.

Ads alone are not the solution.Over the last few episodes, we've been talking about Facebook ads and how they've helped us make a massive jump in revenue this year. But you need more than just ads. You need the right funnel strategy. And you need the right offer.So this month, we're talking all about the offer. Specifically, gateway offers.Because here's what I'm seeing: a lot of people are struggling to sell their programs—the ones that feel like an investment. The $997, $2,000, $3,000 programs. And they're wondering why.If you're struggling to sell your mid-ticket or premium programs—this episode is for you.I'm breaking down why it's so hard to sell programs that feel like an investment right now, why your warm audience strategy isn't working anymore, and the three biggest mistakes people make when creating a gateway offer: going too niche, solving functional problems instead of vanity problems, and pricing it wrong.This is part one of a series on gateway offers.Next week, I'm walking through what you actually need to do to create a gateway offer that scales your sales and grows your audience on autopilot.Make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss it.

How do you become an irresistible coach? If you look around your industry, you'll notice something interesting. Some coaches consistently get results, steady referrals, and clients who keep coming back… even though they're not the most experienced, the loudest online, or the cheapest option. Meanwhile, a lot of really smart, caring coaches struggle to stand out or wonder if they're even worth what they charge. Today, I want to show you what actually separates those coaches — not marketing tactics or credentials, but how they show up inside the coaching relationship itself. And once you understand this, it changes how you coach, how clients experience you, and why they choose you in the first place Chapters 00:00 Becoming an Irresistible Coach 11:55 The Power of Empathy 24:51 Encouragement: Fueling Client Belief 36:53 Empowerment: Fostering Independence

The Detroit Lions turned the page at center. The conversation zeroed in on why the job is open, who is in the mix, and how the scheme should fit the winner. Center Shake-Up: Glasgow Out, Scruggs In On Monday, the David Montgomery trade with the Houston Texans delivered interior help. The Lions acquired Choice Scruggs, a former second-round pick out of Penn State, who played his best snaps in 2024 at center in Houston. The Texans later moved him to guard after adding Jake Andrews from the Patriots, a center-only piece who struggled but still stayed in the lineup. The vacancy in Detroit became real when the Lions cut Grey Glasgow to free cap room. The move was expected. Glasgow posted a thank-you within minutes of the release going public. He is widely respected in the building. He gave what he had. The last couple seasons were uneven, especially in the run game. Context matters. Frank Ragnau retiring when he did put the team in a massive pinch. Coaches asked Glasgow to execute things Ragnau could do. Very few can do what Ragnau did. That mismatch hurt the line. That is on the approach as much as the player. Early Depth Chart: Real Competition Scruggs immediately joins a live competition. Seth McLaughlin is in that fight too. He is a former Alabama and Ohio State center who missed his rookie season with injury and spent time on the Bengals practice squad. He needs to be healthy and will have to earn it. Nothing should be handed out. This is the type of battle that defines camp reps. It also clarifies protection rules and run fits. The Detroit Lions Podcast framed it plainly: the best center must match the assignment load and restore timing in the run game. Why Tate Ratledge Makes Sense in the Middle Tate Ratledge can play center. He logged some snaps there last year. Combine comments indicated the team moved him to right guard because it was easier on him, and he was very good at right guard. There is a case to put him back at center. At guard, he can struggle when squaring up defenders not aligned over his face. If a rusher shades an outside or inside shoulder, his first reaction can be a tick slow. Climbing to the second level from that stance was also a problem at times. Experience can clean up part of that. Center naturally mitigates those issues. The cone of responsibility is tighter. There are fewer immediate threats from wide angles. That buys time, trims the aiming points, and lets his power and balance show. If Detroit wants quicker run fits and a cleaner ID process, Ratledge in the middle is a real option to weigh against Scruggs and McLaughlin. The job is open. The skill set must match the asks. Detroit needs the right center, not just a center. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nfl #centercompetition #grahamglasgow #frankragnow #juicescruggs #houstontexans #davidmontgomerytrade #sethmclaughlin #tateratledge #bradholmescombinecomments Learn more about your ad choices.
