Welcome back T&J fam! We are back after a couple weeks off due to Josh's vacation and Marty being sick. Josh updates us on his trip to London and France and the extreme luck he ran into along the way. Marty then surprises Josh with his new tattoo and meaning behind the ink. Speaking of which, if anyone knows a tatted guy named Mike in Winston-Salem - tell him Marty says thank you for being a good guy. Anyway, we then dive into the topic of scripture and how we have overcomplicated our beliefs. Feel free to send us your thoughts on the topic as well! Enjoy!

In this episode of The Elk Hunt Podcast, we're joined by Evan, an expert elk guide who's spent countless hours in the field, guiding hunters and perfecting his craft. Together, we dive into his unique perspective on elk hunting, breaking down the complexity and simplifying it to a core, actionable approach. From trusting your gut to the art of understanding elk behavior, Evan shares a wealth of practical insights for hunters at all levels. Whether you're a seasoned elk hunter or a beginner, Evan's advice will help you sharpen your skills, tackle challenges, and avoid overcomplicating the hunt. Tune in for some real-world tips, strategies, and plenty of stories from the field as we talk about the mental side of hunting, the importance of confidence, and how to stay adaptable when the hunt doesn't go according to plan. Time Stamp Chapters: (00:00) – Introduction: Getting to Know Evan, The Elk Guide (02:00) – The Simplified Approach to Elk Hunting: Trusting Your Gut (07:00) – Overcomplicating the Hunt: What the Best Hunters Do Differently (12:00) – The Value of Confidence in Hunting: Stop Overthinking (18:30) – Strategies for Finding Elk When They Aren't Where They Should Be (22:30) – The Power of Repetition in Becoming a Better Hunter (28:45) – The Importance of Being Process-Oriented vs. Results-Oriented (34:00) – Handling Mistakes and Using Them as Learning Opportunities (40:00) – The Challenge of Guided Hunts: What Makes a Good Client (45:00) – Closing Thoughts: Confidence, Patience, and Experience Three Key Takeaways: Trust Your Instincts, Keep It Simple: Overthinking elk hunting can lead to analysis paralysis. Evan emphasizes the importance of trusting your gut and reacting on instincts rather than overanalyzing every situation. The best hunts happen when you simplify your tactics and just “go for it.” Don't Overcomplicate Your Strategy: Too many tactics and strategies can confuse hunters. Evan advises focusing on a couple of proven methods that work for you, and repeating those strategies until you build confidence. It's more effective to be consistent with a simple approach than to try too many things at once. Mistakes Are Part of the Process: Failure and mistakes are inevitable in hunting, but they're not the end of the road. Evan discusses how mistakes teach you valuable lessons that improve your skills over time. The key is to be adaptable, learn from each situation, and keep pushing forward.

Have you ever poured your heart into an offer, something you knew could help people, only to launch it and hear… crickets? Maybe you got no sales, or just a few, and you're wondering what went wrong. Chances are, it's not the content. It's the complexity. I've been there! Creating offers that were way too complicated, too hard to market, or too overwhelming for people to even get results. I've learned the hard way that simplicity is what actually sells. In today's episode, I'm walking you through three signs your offer might be too complicated and what to do instead. If you're ready to turn your podcast listeners into clients with offers that are clear, simple, and effective, this one's for you.

This week, we step outside—literally—to escape the summer heat, joined by Brett for an honest, thought-provoking conversation under the open sky. We explore some big questions: What is our purpose in life? When is our "mission" really complete? And what does it mean to truly fulfill the "measure of our creation"?Using personal stories, gospel perspectives, and a good bit of humor, we'll dig into the pressures we put on ourselves to find a grand life purpose, unpack the weight of cultural expectations, and rethink familiar parables—like the parable of the talents—through a new lens. We also candidly tackle topics like overcoming negativity, reclaiming childlike creativity, and embracing our divine potential—whether that means picking up a new talent, switching careers, or just giving ourselves permission to dream again.If you've ever wrestled with questions about your worth, your path, or how to use your gifts for good, pull up a chair (or step outside into the sunshine with us!) for a conversation that's as real as it is uplifting. Sometimes, just being here—just existing—is the sweetest part of all.Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

In this episode, I break down a common trap lifters fall into—either overcomplicating their training with endless variables or oversimplifying it to the point of stagnation. Social media is full of both extremes, and neither will help you grow. I'll share how to find the sweet spot by blending science with real-world experience, and how to track and adjust your training based on your results. This is the mindset shift that'll take your physique to the next level.

This week, we're tackling one of the sneakiest habits high-functioning overthinkers fall into: making everything harder than it needs to be. From your day-to-day to your biggest goals, overcomplicating your plans might be costing you time, energy, and results — and today, I'm showing you how to stop. I'm walking you through two real-life examples (one goal-oriented, one daily-life related), and giving you the two HQQs (high-quality questions) I use with clients to simplify any decision or plan. Because yes: you can want high-quality results AND things to be easier at the same time! Here's where we go: Why smart, capable people default to making things harder The hidden cost of overcomplicated plans How to spot when you're spiraling in decision-making Two questions to simplify any plan A whole lot of permission to do it the easier way

Last week, the greats of UK media gathered in London to celebrate the Campaign Media Awards 2025. The coveted Commercial Team of the Year award went to LADbible while Spark Foundry's Mondelez Team took home Agency Team of the Year.The winning Campaign of the Year was awarded to PHD and "Stream of (un)consciousness" for the British Heart Foundation. The gaming campaign worked with Twitch creators, interrupting their streams to teach viewers how to do CPR, and the results were powerful, with someone's life being saved after a viewer saw one streamer's CPR segment. Judges said they couldn't “wish or hope for more for a client in this sector.”In this bonus episode we are chatting to the brains behind the campaign, Tess Gullis, gaming business director at PHD. We discuss how the campaign is successful in its simplicity, the misconceptions that still exist from advertisers and answer why brands are overcomplicating gaming.Hosted by Campaign tech editor Lucy Shelley, this episode also features deputy media editor Shauna Lewis.View all the winners here.

SummaryIn this episode, Chase and Chris talk about how people make nutrition way harder than it needs to be. They share four common things people stress about that really don't matter as much as we think. Things like tracking your macros perfectly, only eating "clean" foods, or worrying about supplements before you've even got the basics down.They explain how it's way more helpful to focus on big things like calories and protein, getting in some daily movement, and just being consistent. The goal is to make nutrition easy and doable, not stressful and confusing. If you've ever felt like you were stuck or overwhelmed, this episode will help you take a breath and see a simpler path forward.Chapters(00:00) Overcomplicating Nutrition: Why We're Talking About This(01:52) The Perfect Macro Ratio Myth(08:35) Why "Eating Clean" Isn't Always the Answer(16:00) The Perfection Trap in Tracking(20:12) Worrying About the 5% (Meal Timing, Supplements, etc.)(25:51) A Free Gift to Help You Simplify Nutrition(27:12) How to Take the Next Step with a Free CallGet a FREE Diet Audit HERE: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/survey/sb2k7vg9UuugAGSwLM2FSUBMIT 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

From eliminating pointless meetings to ditching outdated processes, she's on a mission to make simplicity a competitive advantage.In Part 2, Lisa takes us behind the scenes of her work with organizations like Google, Pfizer, and Amazon to help them remove, not add.

In this episode of 100% Real with Ruby, I'm joined by Max Waldron, a coach, strength expert, and gym owner who has navigated multiple dimensions of the fitness industry. Together, we dive deep into the often-misunderstood differences between coaching and training, the mental and emotional barriers holding people back, and why fat loss isn't sustainable as a lifestyle. Max brings his no-BS approach to challenge the fitness myths that keep you stuck, while providing a fresh perspective on building the body and life you truly want. This conversation is packed with actionable insights, powerful mindset shifts, and tools to help you break free from frustration and step into progress. Whether you're a coach, a client, or someone who's been spinning their wheels for years, this episode will make you think differently about what it means to succeed in your health and fitness journey. Don't miss it!Most of us already know what to do. Eat better, move more, be consistent—right? But if it were that simple, why would so many still feel stuck? The truth is, it's not about knowledge; it's about what's stopping you from following through.Fat loss isn't sustainable long-term, and trying to balance it with life often leads to frustration. Fat loss should be viewed as a temporary phase, followed by maintenance or building phases.Measure What MattersObsessively tracking every metric can detract from focusing on meaningful progress. Measure the variables that truly align with goals, such as consistency and effort, rather than arbitrary metrics like scale weight.Many clients fail to appreciate their progress because they live in a scarcity mindset, focusing on what they lack instead of what they've achieved.Muscle is not bulky; it is sculpted and compact. Building muscle creates a leaner, stronger look, and achieving this requires fueling the body and training effectively. Addressing common fears of looking "too bulky" helps educate clients on the value of strength training and adequate nutritionCreating the Right EnvironmentSuccess often stems from a supportive environment, such as meal prepping, structuring workouts, and reducing decision fatigue.The Danger of Focusing Solely on Scale Weight or trying to make fat loss sustainableOver-reliance on the scale as a measure of success can undermine progress. Shifting focus to performance, strength, and habits is more productive.Key Insight: Addressing the emotional attachment to the scale helps clients find fulfillment in non-scale victories.Even perceived setbacks provide valuable insights for future progress. Clients are never truly starting over—they're building on past experiences. Reframe "failure" as an opportunity to learn and grow, fostering resilience and a growth mindset.Sustainability isn't achieved through perfect plans but by aligning mindset with actions and focusing on intrinsic motivation.Strength training fosters intrinsic motivation by creating enjoyment in the process and measurable progress beyond aesthetics.Further Knowledge: Strength training also provides a tangible sense of accomplishment, reinforcing clients' commitment to their goals.Sacrifices and Realistic Expectations (1:03:59-1:07:42):Achieving goals often requires more effort and sacrifice than initially expected. However, the trade-offs must align with what the client values most.Insight: Helping clients evaluate their willingness to make sacrifices ensures alignment with their deeper goals and life priorities.Training Intensity and FocusMany don't train with enough intensity to see significant progress. Simplified, structured programs with a focus on effort can yield better results. prioritize progressive overload in their training and focus on quality over quantity.

In this hilarious and informative episode of The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast (formerly The Key Nutrition Podcast), cohost Craig Smith and I take a trip down memory lane to revisit all the ridiculous things we used to believe and do in the name of health and fitness. From waking up in the middle of the night to slam a protein shake to believing in the mythical anabolic window, we share our missteps, lessons learned, and some good laughs along the way. Other highlights include: The infamous velocity diet. Avoiding carbs at night because “science.” Overcomplicating the simple stuff. Believing the more supplements, the better. We share these stories not just to entertain, but to help you avoid the same traps we fell into. If you're looking to simplify your health and fitness journey while having a good laugh, this is the episode for you.

In this episode, we share EC's recent conversation on the Ageless Athlete podcast about simplifying nutrition and adding more fruits and vegetables to our diets. You'll discover practical strategies for building a balanced, healthy lifestyle — without the pressure of being perfect. Through these insights, you'll develop a sustainable approach to nutrition that naturally fits your daily life.

Are you an overthinker? Do you live in the now or the future? (We are going to the past to replay this episode because it's worth hearing again!) What we are talking about today is analysis paralysis: the inability to act because you've overthought something. Overthinking can lead to…absolutely nothing, when it comes to action. It's a form of self-sabotage. In this episode we help you identify your spiraling thoughts, because your brain is not always serving you and has been wired to believe that complex solutions are “superior” to simple ones.  Listen for techniques and strategies on how to respond when your brain says, it can't be that simple! Because sometimes it IS that simple. Leave with action items to put in place today when your mind has gone in a thousand different directions. We're here to pull you out of the quicksand. This episode is just what you need, to stop overcomplicating and start doing.  (00:00:00) Welcome and a look at self sabotage (00:09:30) A close to home example of overcomplicating as a form of self sabotage (00:17:04) What are you afraid of?
