026 - Ask These 4 Eval Questions for Better Results 18:21

1+ y ago18:21

18:21

Whether you're leading yourself or a team, it's important to regularly evaluate how you're progressing. We all know this but we tend to either make it too complex, and thus not do it as much as we should, or we won't do it often enough to inform our behavior. It's easy to just "keep doing what we're doing", even if we're getting feedback that it is…

025 - 5 Keys for Adult Athleticism 24:21

1+ y ago24:21

24:21

We all want some "go" with our "show", right? It doesn't make sense to look great and not be able to perform at a high level, as well. Whether you are still playing sports, want to keep up with your kid's in a "friendly" game, or just be prepared for what life throws at you it is important to stay athletic. Unfortunately, for a lot of adults it's h…

024 - The Belief Loop Trap 17:45

1+ y ago17:45

17:45

Imagine the amound of information your brain takes in every second. From your eyes to your skin to your internal organs and beyond, it's massive. Your brain then has to take all of this information, filter it down to what it deems relevant, and THEN decide what to do based on this data. How does it do that? By running it through a filter of beliefs…

022 - Building a Winning Identity 22:27

2y ago22:27

22:27

We are who we think we are... but it's deeper than that. More specifically, we're who our brain thinks that we are. See, our brain has an image in our mind of "us". It's our identity. This identity shapes how we do things and our decision-making. Your life is largely the result of your identity and how it led to your reactions and decisions. So wha…

021 - Real Conditioning - Energy Systems 101 35:52

2y ago35:52

35:52

"Man, I gotta get in shape!" What does that mean, exactly? That's the problem with "conditioning", "endurance", and "being in shape". We all know what we mean when we say it, and the other person knows what they think it is... but it's often not the same thing. If you were an NFL lineman, you'd need to be in shape. If you were a triathlete, you'd n…

Look around. There are courses, programs, books, and many other opportunities to better yourself. Personal development, whether it's fitness, mindset, or work-related is huge right now. Yet so many people don't succeed in making the changes they are seeking? Why is that? For most of them it's because they try to make too big a jump. They see the en…

019 - Fix Your Sleep for a Better Life 41:31

2y ago41:31

41:31

I'm a reformed member of the "Grind 'til I die, I'll sleep when I'm dead" club. What is sleep, really? Everyone sleeps, but lots of us take it for granted or think it's something that removes us from the things we want to do. The truth is, sleep is WAY more important than that. Sleep is where our body makes the bulk of its repairs and our brain doe…

018 - How To Find Your Purpose 31:54

2y ago31:54

31:54

Everyone makes "Finding Your Purpose" out to be this big, woo-woo, mystical task. It can be - You might be walking down the street and suddenly blindsided by your Purpose. But that's unlikely. Instead, I think there's a simple process that you can use to find the intersection between a couple of key purpose areas. Within those intersection points i…

017 - A Year of Wins in 12 Weeks 32:26

2y ago32:26

32:26

How can you get a year's worth of wins in just 12 weeks? By getting clear and focused on punching them through to the end. The truth is that most people have a lot going on. That's normal. But the way that most handle it is that they are constantly shuffling things around, moving this or that to the front or back burner. While that is sometimes nec…

016 - Training Variables for Infinite Progress 37:52

2y ago37:52

37:52

There's infinite ways to progress your training, but so many people get caught up in the "new routine" or magic exercise. Sure, those might be the way to go, but often it's getting more out of what you're currently doing OR already know how to do. The body responds to stimulus in just a few ways (I get into it in the episode) and when you understan…

015 - Master Your State Master Yourself 33:42

2y ago33:42

33:42

I used to ask all my clients "How's your state?" when they walked in the door. Their answer told me what I needed to know for their training and coaching session that day. Your state is the combination of your emotional and physical experience at any given moment. Effectively, it governs how you interact with the world and behave. In turn, that aff…

014 - REAL Smart Goal Setting - No BS 35:14

2y ago35:14

35:14

Everyone has heard of SMART Goals. They're the corporate buzzword for goal setting. The issue is, they aren't the best for goal ACHIEVEMENT. Sure, they sound good. People get really excited setting SMART goals, but then they woosh right on by and rarely are achieved. In this podcast I dig into why the SMART framework sounds good but doesn't deliver…

2y ago34:14

34:14

We may be living in a modern world but a lot of our mental and physical machinery is still wired for our past evolution. In many ways this is a great thing. We as humans are the most adaptable species on the planet and it's allowed us to thrive. However, some of our new situations don't mesh well with the old stuff. So what's the answer? Go back to…

011 - Cracking the Habit Code 31:26

2y ago31:26

31:26

Your life is largely a sum of your habits. The issue, if you're like most people, is that your habits are arranged in a haphazard way. Some are great for you where as others are pulling against you. This leaves you stuck with holes and gaps in your life. That's because habits are often not created by intention. In this episode I pull back the curta…

010 - Fueling the Machine - Understanding Nutrition Priorities 33:26

2y ago33:26

33:26

Not all nutrition is equal! People come in two camps - They either like to nitpick and micromanage their nutrition or they'd rather not stress about it at all. Both camps have their place, but the point is that if you want to look, feel, and perform at a high level then you have to at least have the basics of nutrition nailed down. So what are the …

The quest for understanding stress, rationality, and why some people change and others don't led Matt Perryman from the weightlifting realm and fitness to a Ph.D in Philosophy.

2y ago22:16

22:16

You environment plays a huge role in your life. In this podcast we discuss how the environment is WAY more than just the physical place you're in. It can be everything from what's going on in your body to what you're wearing and who you're with. All of those things add up to create a very complex decision-making process that you have very little co…

Leadership is often talked about but rarely broken down to key components. Let's change that. In this podcast I talk about the three things that a good leader must do.

004 - How To Achieve Real Clarity 24:37

2y ago24:37

24:37

Clarity is one of those terms that gets thrown around a lot, but it's more than just sitting around and making a vision board. Real results come from real clarity. If you're not clear, your brain won't let you invest the energy into something. That would be too much risk, and the brain doesn't like risk. It'll put the brakes on. Plus, it's only one…

002 - How To Set Your Standards 20:32

2y ago20:32

20:32

Your life is largely a result of your decisions and behaviors. In turn, those are dictated by your standards. The issue is that most people don't consciously set their standards - They let life and those around them set them by default. This is likely to result in a large gap between your baseline standards and your aspirations. Here's a 5-step pro…

3y ago22:43

22:43

Feeling overwhelmed makes it hard to dig down and accomplish the things we want to in life. We constantly feel like we're on our heels or treading water. On the other hand, overcoming that overwhelm frees up resources and gives us the opportunity to do MORE. In this episode I dig into the step-by-step of how I handle overwhelm with clients, includi…

96: Four-Part Goal Achievement System 37:21

3+ y ago37:21

37:21

Goals are common, and methods of achieving them are a dime a dozen, as well. So why don't people succeed in following through with what they set out to do? Often it's their own brain that sells them out. Here I outline a four-step process that I use with my clients (and myself) to break down a goal, get your brain on board, make sure it's heading i…

Every year, around now, people make New Year's Resolutions... Or they revel in moral superiority because they don't. Either way, change doesn't happen. So why not? Why is change so hard? Lots of reasons, but there's one big, sneaky reason that I bet you haven't thought of... Your goal isn't really your goal. What? When you search out the latest too…

I've been fortunate to work with many people, particularly former athletes and warriors who've been able to break free of their comfortable misery, being stuck in the doldrums of a ho-hum life, and find their spark again. There's been one quality that's really stood out among those who've been successful in their transformations and those who haven…

93: The Fallacy of External Leadership 10:41

4y ago10:41

10:41

I have so many conversations with people who start plans with the best of intentions. They follow the plan, they do well, and then something happens. They fall off. Something derails them. Eventually they find another plan or guru and repeat the process. Why does this happen? In the moment, it can be a lot of things. However, at its core... it's al…

20:21

We know that for longterm change, behaviors have to change. What does that mean, though?

There is, and I get into it here.…

10:05

What to do when you are behind in a goal? I was on a long ruck this weekend and thinking about what to do if I ended up being behind in my goal. If you're like me, then your tendency is to start to rush, skip steps, and often end up failing because of it.

I've been on a journey. For 31 straight weeks, 217 days, I've done some sort of outdoor cardio. Some days it was a run. Some days it was a walk. Some days it was a ruck. Some days have been hard, some have been easy. Some days have just been checking the box. It might not be a big thing, but honestly it's changed me and it's changed my life. I'm di…
