Welcome back to RNT Fitness Radio. Today, I'm joined by Coach Ivan, who's flown in all the way from Australia to spend a few days with us here in the UK. While he's over, we decided to hit record on a conversation we've been having behind the scenes — all about the concept of performance without pressure. For most of my life, I've thrived on pressure. Big goals. High stakes. All-or-nothing thinking. It's driven a lot of what I've achieved. But recently, I've started to question whether that pressure is still serving me — or if it's just a part of an old identity I've outgrown. In this episode, we unpack what it really means to perform at a high level without constantly chasing, grinding, or forcing outcomes. It's a reflective and real conversation, and I hope it sparks something for you too. Let's dive in.   Chapters: 00:00 Performance Without Pressure 02:59 The Journey of Self-Discovery 10:13 The Importance of Enjoying the Process 18:26 Redefining Goals and Expectations 26:12 Finding Balance in Performance and Enjoyment 30:34 Intelligent Training and the Role of Coaching 31:45 Rediscovering Joy in Fitness 32:42 Identity Shifts and Personal Growth 33:37 The Balance of Performance and Enjoyment 36:01 The Pressure of Performance Metrics 37:40 The Importance of Rest and Recovery 38:11 Finding Fun in Work and Life 41:31 The Journey Over the Destination 43:08 Reframing Health and Fitness Goals 46:41 Gratitude and Perspective in Fitness 51:08 Experimentation in Training and Nutrition 55:23 Urgency in Weight Loss vs. Performance Goals   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn

I was with a group this morning and we were exploring how joy is felt and experienced it was wonderful to hear so many takes on the importants of finding joy and its impact of daily life.  I had the opportunity to reminisce about a heartfelt story from 2011, where an unexpected detour with my son turned into a magical memory full of laughter and love.

But can we cultivate it by being present and mindful? Let's explore together how, even amidst life's chaos, simple practices like gratitude can rekindle that spark.

As we approach the end of the year, the Building Better Developers podcast presents a special Thanksgiving edition focused on holiday planning and reflection. Hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche share insights into their personal and professional journeys this year, offering practical tips on balancing work, rest, and goal-setting during the holiday season. Whether navigating challenges or celebrating wins, this episode inspires listeners to use this reflective time to recharge and prepare for a successful 2025. The Challenges and Opportunities of 2024: A Holiday Planning and Reflection Overview Rob Broadhead shared his candid experiences from a year that brought its share of business challenges. The road has been rocky, from promising projects losing momentum due to market uncertainty to unforeseen timing issues. However, Rob emphasized the silver lining: growth. Despite the hurdles, he has honed his skills and emerged as a better developer, setting an example for embracing challenges as opportunities for learning. Michael Meloche echoed similar sentiments. Rebranding his company, Envision QA, was a bright spot in his year, but family health issues reminded him of life's unpredictable challenges. Michael's reflections underscored the importance of resilience, flexibility, and the need to appreciate personal and professional achievements amidst difficulties. Making Time for Holiday Planning and Reflection The Thanksgiving season offers a natural pause to reflect on the year's accomplishments and setbacks. Rob and Michael encouraged listeners to engage in a year-end retrospective. Consider what went well, what didn't, and what goals remain unfinished. This practice highlights areas for improvement and sets the stage for a focused and productive new year. For those whose workloads slow during the holidays, it's an ideal time to tackle “technical debt” or projects that often fall by the wayside. Whether cleaning up digital clutter, exploring a new tool, or setting the foundation for a creative project like writing a book or launching a podcast, these quieter moments can lay the groundwork for future success. Balancing Productivity and Rest One of the key takeaways from this episode was the importance of balance. Rob shared his strategy of taking a few weeks off during the holidays but dedicating a few hours each morning to focused work. This approach allows for relaxation and productivity, ensuring a refreshed start to the new year. Michael emphasized the need to prioritize family and personal time during this season. Whether celebrating Thanksgiving and a birthday or simply enjoying time with loved ones, the holidays are a time to reconnect and recharge. For those feeling overwhelmed, he advised trimming non-essential tasks from your to-do list and focusing on what truly matters. Rediscovering Joy and Exploration Beyond work and family obligations, the podcast encouraged listeners to indulge in hobbies or explore new interests. Whether taking a painting class, walking through a festive downtown, or simply curling up with a book, these activities can rejuvenate the mind and spirit. If you've neglected a passion or hobby, now is the time to revisit it. And for those without a clear outlet, consider trying something new—creative, physical, or social. The idea is to step out of your usual routine and rediscover what brings you joy. Setting the Stage for 2025: Holiday Planning and Reflection in Action As the year draws closer, Rob and Michael urged listeners to start thinking about the year ahead. What goals do you want to set? What new skills or projects will you tackle? The end of the year isn't just about wrapping up loose ends—it's about laying the foundation for success in the coming year. Join the Conversation Rob and Michael concluded by inviting you to share holiday rituals or year-end strategies. Whether it's a tradition, a productivity hack, or a reflection on the past year, the podcast welcomes your input. You can connect with them via email, the Building Better Developers website, or their social media channels. This Thanksgiving, take a cue from Rob and Michael: Reflect, recharge, and prepare. Whether focusing on personal growth, family time, or setting professional goals, this season is the perfect opportunity to build a better you. And as always, remember to enjoy the journey—because better developers build better lives.

In this engaging episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee tackles the prevalent issue of burnout, a challenge faced by many driven individuals especially as the year nears its end. Drawing from personal experiences and relatable analogies, Baylor outlines effective strategies for regaining energy and maintaining enthusiasm in your career and personal life. He addresses the misconception that burnout signifies weakness, emphasizing that even passionate individuals can experience this state due to natural human limitations. Delving into the causes of burnout, Baylor highlights the importance of recognizing when work stops being enjoyable. He encourages listeners to identify factors leading to their burnout, such as monotony or personal changes, akin to how a low tire can affect a car's performance. Furthermore, he shares insightful methods to counter burnout by reigniting the excitement of past achievements and focusing on the ultimate goal. Baylor advises mixing things up in daily routines to break the monotony and remain motivated. Ultimately, he urges listeners to remember the excitement at the beginning of their journeys and to strive toward reaching their goals with renewed vigor.

Notable Quotes: "You can love what you do, and still face burnout." "The key to staying on top is to treat everything like it's your first project." "You owe it to yourself to get to that finish line." "Identify what that low tire is [in your life] and fix it." "In the meantime... ask yourself, what can I do right now to mix it up?"
