After two decades of trying to lose weight and get healthy, recovering from a heart attack, and navigating the stress of travel, work events, and major family losses, David reached a point where he knew something had to change. For years, progress would come and go — a few pounds lost, then gained back. Strict diets, all-or-nothing phases, bursts of motivation followed by long periods of inconsistency.

Most women don't lose momentum because of their partner — they lose it because they start negotiating their goals to make everyone else comfortable.In this episode, Coach JVB gets real about what it actually looks like to earn support and respect inside your relationship without turning your goals into a fight.You'll hear her share a personal story about her husband Vince — how they both run a business in fitness, and how she learned to protect her morning discipline (training + walk) as a non-negotiable anchor for focus and clarity.And how that small boundary eventually turned into a shared ritual that strengthened both their relationship and their results.This is for the woman who's building her body, her business, and her life — and refuses to shrink her standards just to keep the peace.In This Episode:Why your partner doesn't need to understand your goals — just respect themHow consistency builds respect faster than conversationThe exact mindset shift that turned conflict into connection in JVB's marriageThe difference between asking for buy-in and building proofPractical ways to protect your non-negotiables without guilt or friction Connect with Jenny (Coach JVB)Instagram: @coach_jvbWORK WITH ME - https://strongjvb.typeform.com/to/aqFEZtP1Website: coachjvb.comSubscribe  to STRONG Fitness Mag - Use Code STRONGGIRLS3 - https://simplecirc.com/subscribe/strong-fitness-magazine  DISCLAIMER: The opinions, beliefs, and viewpoints expressed by the hosts and guests on this podcast do not necessarily represent or reflect the official policy, opinions, beliefs, and viewpoints of Disenyo.co LLC and its employees.

Celebrating all of the hard work you've done along your fitness journey can be very liberating. One of the most common ways to check on your progress is to step onto a scale to see your current weight. However, there are many other ways that you can check your progress and celebrate your accomplishments which don't involve following numbers which can be very intimidating for some people. In This Episode You Will Learn: 1). Why it's important to recognize and celebrate your health and fitness progress when you hit your milestones. 2). How losing weight is usually the primary reason why most people exercise and why reading your weight on a scale has become the "standard" way of measuring progress. 3). The emotional and mental toll that constant weight measuring can take and why focusing on other "wins" can be more effective to recognize your weight loss accomplishments. 4). How noticing enhanced physical abilities and increase in strength can be helpful motivators in celebrating the work you are doing in your fitness journey. 5). Why monitoring your flexibility and agility are good indicators that your hard work is paying off. /// We hope the tips we've shared in this episode are helpful to you or someone you know who may be on their own health and fitness journey. We all like to see and feel the progress that we make especially if you are trying to lose weight. But don't forget that being healthy and taking care of yourself doesn't always have to involve numbers and weight measuring. Feeling good and being proud of yourself that you are putting in the work to live a active and healthy lifestyle should always be of precedence over constant weight measuring.

Dan Carnat, CEO and co-founder of Fiera Cosmetics, breaks down the actual impact of pricing on conversion, acquisition, andmost importantly: reorder rates and LTV. We dig into why a $40 customer is fundamentally different from a $16 customer, how “cheap growth” distorted channel signals and buyer mix, and why Fiera reversed course by introducing a higher-priced, improved SKU while protecting existing demand.We also unpack a pragmatic attribution stack for operators who care about truth over dashboards: platform numbers as a directional input, MMM for hypothesis generation, and incrementality tests for validation, including how Meta campaigns created measurable halo on Amazon even when the product wasn't listed there. Dan details Fiera's “reality testing” process for new products (closing the loop between 5-star lovers and 1-star detractors), the operational cadence required to ship 20+ products in development without eroding trust, and supply-chain tradeoffs in a color-heavy category. If you're navigating margin pressure, price strategy, channel diversification (including performance-driven affiliates), or product-market fit at scale, this episode will give you concrete frameworks you can implement immediately.//CHAPTER TITLES:00:01:29 - What Went Wrong With Price Testing?00:08:12 - Making Mistakes Can Reveal Truth About Business00:10:02 - Unit Economics In Your Business00:11:20 - Introducing A New Product with High Price Point00:19:38 - Product Development Process 00:23:56 - Dan's Fitness Goals & Growth Hacks00:25:03 - Operations & Supply Chain For Fiera00:33:36 - Where Is The Value In A Cosmetics Business?00:35:58 - Rebranding00:39:02 - What Makes Dan Sleep At Night???00:41:52 - Highlight of Incrementally Testing00:44:08 - Complexity of Lead Attribution//SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL FOR 2X/WEEKLY UPLOADS!//ADMISSIONGet the best media buying training on the Internet + a free coaching call with Common Thread Collective's media buyers when you sign up for ADmission here: ⁠⁠https://www.youradmission.co/andrew-faris-podcast⁠//FOLLOW UP WITH ANDREW X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/andrewjfaris ⁠Email: podcast@ajfgrowth.comWork with Andrew: ⁠https://ajfgrowth.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Real Results & Daily Shifts From strength gains to injury prevention and more patience at home  Chris opens up about the physical and emotional benefits that surprised him most.

In this episode, I'm sharing how I'm locking in my health and fitness goals as we head into the final stretch of the year — because this season doesn't have to be a total free-for-all (or a stress spiral!). I talk through what it looks like to live in sync with this season of life instead of trying to force something extreme or unsustainable — and how I'm approaching Q4 with a mindset of steadiness, not burnout. Here's what I cover: My go-to mindset shift for finishing the year strong (but not frantic) Why I'm following the plan, not my feelings What I'm focusing on daily: hydration, nutrition awareness, and consistent movement How I'm planning for social events and indulgences without spiraling Simple ways I'm tracking progress and adjusting as I go The role of uplifting content, supportive routines, and communities — plus a few recs! If you've ever felt like the end of the year is just “survival mode” — this episode is your reminder that you can still honor your body, take care of yourself, and feel really good going into a new year.
