Steve Preston is the CEO of Goodwill Industries. Though Goodwill is known for big stores where people can donate clothes and buy them secondhand, those stores are just the first level of what Goodwill Industries are about. Those stores fund an international organization that provides job training, employment placement services and other community-based programs for people who face barriers in their employment. Steve joins Jay to discuss the ways Goodwill Industries support veterans and individuals who lack job experience, an education, or face employment challenges, such as those people who are formerly incarcerated.

We don't have it all figured out, and that's exactly why our relationship works 💯 In this episode, Kirsten and I are pulling back the curtain on what our relationship actually looks like behind the Instagram highlights. After seeing some friends put on a perfect front online while their relationship crumbled in real life, we decided it was time to get brutally honest about how we navigate the messiness of marriage - including the petty fight we had literally last night. The truth is, we fight like cats and dogs sometimes. We're both stubborn as hell, and when we clash, it can last for days. But here's what nobody tells you about relationships: it's not about never fighting. It's about how you move through those fights without destroying each other in the process. So if you're sitting there wondering if your relationship is broken because you and your partner aren't living in perfect harmony 24/7... relax. And tune into this episode. Top Quotes: "When you do see a perfect relationship online, I'm almost going to guarantee you that it's not perfect behind the scenes." (1:14) "You can't have two individual human beings that have different values and core values and principles and how they operate and put them in one place and never have any sort of dissonance or disagreeance about how things work." (5:03) "It’s kind of like living with your best friend and having a sleepover with your best friend every night. There's so many nights where we're laughing, or we're just reflecting on our day, and we're talking about how cool our life is." (3:19) ___ Don’t miss out on our next live, in-person event.

Proof that you're thinking too small when it comes to growing your coaching business 🤯 In this episode, I'm hosting my 10K Mastermind clients for a live Q&A where we dive deep into the real challenges that separate struggling coaches from those hitting consistent 5-figure months. You'll hear from coaches who just hit their first 10K month, others scaling past 15K, and the exact strategies they're using to get there. From content pattern recognition to building unstoppable momentum, we're covering the needle-moving tactics that most coaches completely miss. But here's what you won't expect - sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come from the problems you're NOT focusing on. If you're tired of spinning your wheels and ready to see what's actually possible when you dial in the fundamentals, this episode will show you exactly what the top performers are doing differently. Because the gap between where you are and where you want to be isn't as big as you think - it's just different than what you've been told. Top Quotes: "Every online coach on this coaching call, and in general, should have their recurring covering your base monthly expenses. If you're recurring isn't currently covering your base monthly expenses, including your car payment, your gas, your fucking house, any subscriptions you have, trainerize, all of it. If you're recurring isn't covering that, then that needs to be a primary focus." (13:07) "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again. You need to make the commitment to master your content." (20:55) "Your videos are same information, same delivery. That's why your page isn't growing."

The decision that transformed her business from $7K to $118K per month — and the surprising value her clients love most 🦄 In this episode, I sit down with Marine, one of my VIP clients who's absolutely crushing it in the online fitness space. She's gone from 2K Instagram followers to 95K, with a business that's now generating $118K per month serving nearly 200 women who want to get "strong and confident AF." But the journey to get there wasn't straightforward. Marine shares the bold moves that accelerated her growth, including the decision to fly from Australia to Canada for a PT Domination event just ONE WEEK before her wedding. While many would let fear or practicality hold them back, Marine and her partner asked themselves, "What would make the better story?" What's most fascinating is how Marine has built a thriving brand around unicorns while staying true to her core value of connection. Even as she scales to nearly 200 clients, she's found a way to make every person feel personally cared for—a challenge many coaches struggle with as they grow. If you're wondering how to scale your coaching business without losing the personal touch, this episode is a must-listen. Top Quotes: "Just fucking go. If you even have, like, 1% of an inkling that you might want to go, just do it because chances are, the reason you're not doing it is some form of fear." (11:29) "What would make the better story? That we didn't go to the event because our wedding was a week later, or that we went to the event overseas and then had a wedding?" (04:39) "If I'm willing to do the work, then I can do whatever else anyone else is doing." (08:08) Don’t miss out on our next live, in-person event.

When girl dad expectations collide with reality: navigating the emotional rollercoaster of our gender reveal 💖 In this episode, Kirsten and I get real about the unexpected emotions that surfaced when we found out we're having a baby girl. I was convinced it was going to be a boy, so much so that I had Kirsten believing it, too… only to be completely shocked during the reveal. What followed was an intense couple of weeks as we both wrestled with our fears, expectations, and past experiences. Kirsten opens up about her concerns that I might not be excited about having a daughter, while I share the deeper fear behind my initial reaction. We talk openly about how major life milestones tend to trigger our deepest insecurities and how we navigate through them as a couple. If you've ever experienced relationship tension during what should be "happy" moments, this conversation is for you. We don't hold back on sharing the arguments, the space we needed to take, and ultimately how we came back together stronger than ever, pink Team Girl bracelet and all. Because sometimes the universe gives you exactly what you need, not what you think you want. Top Quotes: "Even if you treated me like shit for the rest of my life, I would never leave you. I would go through hell if you put me through it." (07:44) "Every time you're in your relationship where you have a commitment milestone, that is usually when your fears, your anxiety, your trauma comes up." (09:02) "Things happen exactly how they're supposed to, not exactly how you have mapped out in your brain." (12:18) Don’t miss out on our next live, in-person event.

From one foot in to all in: the breakthrough that took this coach from $10K to $28K months 🚀 In this episode, I'm sitting down with my client Matt who's absolutely crushing it in the online fitness space. We dive deep into his journey from hating his 9-5 job as a welder to building a thriving coaching business with 88 clients and $28,000 monthly revenue. The game-changing shift? Matt stopped playing small and went ALL IN. For years, he was that "one foot in, one foot out" coach who would make progress then fall back. But when adversity struck in his personal life, instead of retreating like most people do, he used it as fuel to double down on his dreams. What's most interesting is how environment played such a massive role in his transformation. Matt credits 90% of his success to surrounding himself with the right people who pushed him beyond his comfort zone. So if you're feeling stuck or wondering why your business isn't growing, this episode might just be the wake-up call you need to stop retreating and start advancing. Top Quotes: "I think most people live their entire lives chasing dreams that they don't fully believe in." (05:38) "We're getting paid now for the work we did a year ago... we're working, we're working, we're working, we're working, nothing's happening, nothing's happening... and then it's like a wave." (07:38) "You don't even like the life that you have right now... what are we retreating from?" (09:42) Don’t miss out on our next live, in-person event.

Because sometimes, the solution isn't working harder—it's seeing clearer. Top Quotes: "When in doubt, zoom out. There's not a level that you'll climb to where a hundred percent of you is like, 'Oh, this is enough.' Until you make the decision that you're just gonna zoom out and be grateful for the growth." (23:07) "Every “no” is one step closer to a “yes, baby.” I'm sure as fuck glad that person said no, because that means my yes is right around the corner."

The exact blueprint to scale your fitness coaching business at ANY level 📈 In this episode, I'm breaking down the REAL roadmap to growing your fitness business - from complete beginner to $100K months. Because too many coaches are overcomplicating this process and getting stuck in analysis paralysis instead of taking the right actions at the right time. I walk through the specific focus areas needed at each stage of business growth, showing you exactly what to prioritize, whether you're making $0 or $50K per month. The truth is, what got you to $5K won't get you to $15K, and what got you to $15K definitely won't get you to $30K and beyond. So if you've been feeling stuck at your current income level, this episode will show you exactly what's holding you back and what you need to focus on next. Because after working with over 11,000 fitness coaches, I've seen the same patterns play out over and over - and I'm laying out the entire blueprint so you can breakthrough to your next level. Top Quotes: "If you're not consistent with your content, none of that shit fucking matters. None of it." (0:37) "Unless you build an audience of people that are interested in your stuff, you're going to end up speaking to the same people over and over again, which is why most people stay stuck between 5K-7k a month." (3:19) "From 30 to $50,000 a month, it's really about identifying and looking at the numbers and seeing what actually matters, and what's the constraint in the business, and then slowly but surely unlocking the constraints."

When are you going to decide that enough is enough? 🔥 In this episode, I'm calling you out if you're almost halfway through 2025 and still stuck in the same place you were in January. Because consuming personal development content without making a full-body commitment to change is just a way to justify your lack of results. The hard truth is that every breakthrough I've had in my 11 years in this game has come from making an absolute, rock-hard decision where failure wasn't an option. Not from "trying" things halfway or doing just enough to say you did something. Real transformation happens when you push past comfort and make the uncomfortable your new normal. I share the story of my client Maureen who kept deciding to level up, joining every program I offer (including my $100K VIP program), and is now making $118,000 per month. That level of success isn't luck - it's what happens when you answer the call and commit to making this YOUR fucking year, no matter what it takes. Top Quotes: "The downside of personal development is that a lot of us get stuck in consuming information without any actual practical full-body fucking commitment towards a different life." (1:10) "Every single breakthrough that I've ever had has come on the other side of an absolute, full-hearted, full-body, 100% decision." (3:13) "You are no longer satisfied with the level that you are currently at. And you will do everything in your God-given power to be a better person. To be a better version of you."

Becoming a complete entrepreneur: why I shaved my beard and changed my entire routine 🔄 In this episode, I'm getting real about the wake-up call that forced me to reevaluate my entire approach to entrepreneurship. After getting violently sick for two weeks, I finally had to face the truth: making a million dollars a month doesn't mean shit if you're neglecting your health, relationships, and personal fulfillment. I break down why true success requires balancing all four areas of life: health, wealth, relationships, and self. And I reveal the details of "Project Best Be Mark" – my 150-day challenge to transform myself before my child is born. From waking up at 4am to committing to daily mobility work, I'm sharing the exact blueprint I'm following to become what I call a "complete entrepreneur." So if you've been grinding hard in your business but feeling empty in other areas of your life, this episode is your permission slip to prioritize yourself. Because at the end of the day, I don't want to be rich and lonely or rich and injured – I want to be rich and happy. And you deserve that too. Top Quotes: "You never really realize how much you value your health until you don't have it, you know? I never realized how important my health was until I couldn't sit in my computer chair without pain in my back." (2:31) "I don't want my kid to meet the version of me that works 12 hours a day and then is burnt out by the time he gets to hang out with the kid." (4:30) "I want to be rich and happy. I don't want to be rich and fucking injured. I don't want to be rich and lonely."

Scared money don't make money: why you need to stop playing small with your business 💰 In this episode, I'm calling out all the fitness coaches who say they want to grow their business but are too afraid to invest in ads. If you're not willing to put money behind your content, you're leaving thousands of dollars on the table. Period. I break down exactly why boosting posts is a non-negotiable for serious business owners, and why your organic content isn't enough if you want consistent 5-figure months. The numbers don't lie - if you're getting quality leads from your content already, putting money behind it is simply going to accelerate your results. So if you've been holding back on your business growth because of "financial scarcity," this episode is your wake-up call. It's time to buckle the fuck down and make some real money. Because at the end of the day, knowing what problem to solve in your business (and in what order) is what separates the 10K/month coaches from the 6-figure earners. Top Quotes: "Scared money don't make money, alright?" (16:18) "There's only two ways to grow on social media. You either post more content or you spend more on ads. Those are the two options. There's no other fucking secrets." (16:51) "Business is about knowing what problem to solve and what order to solve the problems in. That's the next level thinking - in the millionaire mastermind, I get everybody focusing on one thing at a time."

The brutal truth about why your fitness coaching business is stuck at $10K/month 🔥 In this episode, I'm opening up the doors to my exclusive Tanking Mastermind coaching call, where my clients making $5,000 to $25,000 per month are asking the real questions that could 10X their businesses. And I'm not holding anything back. What's the difference between the fitness coaches crushing it at $20K, $50K, or even $100K per month versus those stuck at $10K? It's not just about working harder - it's about identifying the critical levers you should be pulling RIGHT NOW versus the ones you're wasting time on. From why your content quality directly impacts your client quality, to why your calendar actually determines your income potential, to the uncomfortable conversation about why you need to burn the ships and go all in - we're covering the strategies that separate the top 1% from everyone else. Because the truth is, if you're not willing to make the hard choices now, you'll keep kicking that can down the road forever. Top Quotes: "If you go viral with your content and you figure out exactly what to do with your content, everything else in your business is an easier problem to solve." (2:01) "I will not fucking stop until I hit my targets. And I think if every single one of you guys embodied that, you would all be massively successful." (25:54) "When you respect your time, so will other people. I respect my time. I don't waste it. I don't spend it on things that shouldn't be spent it on. And if I do have extra time, I spend it on me."

What happened next taught me a powerful lesson about managing energy rather than just managing time. The truth is, the way you show up and the energy you bring to your work matters more than you think. When you're constantly pushing without rest, you're not showing up as your best self - you're just going through the motions. If you find yourself burning out after weeks of grinding, this episode is your wake-up call. I break down why sometimes the most productive thing you can do is take a break, even when your calendar says otherwise. Because in this game of entrepreneurship, your state of mind is the most important asset you have. Top Quotes: "When you're playing this game of being an entrepreneur, the most important thing that you need to manage is your state. And you need to manage your energy, and you need to make sure that you keep yourself in a good place." (2:29) "Just because you can put yourself to the breaking point every single day does not mean you should." (4:12) "If you show up with really good, positive energy, on a day-to-day basis, magical things happen without a lot of effort, and if you show up with this burnt-out, tired, stressed-out, overwhelmed energy, then all the things that you're trying to do actually get harder."

Want to know the real reason you're losing attraction to your partner? It's time for some uncomfortable honesty 💯 In this episode of Monday with the Marks, Kirsten and I get raw about what really keeps attraction alive in long-term relationships. We pull back the curtain on our own journey - from what initially drew us together to the brutal moments when we've both lost attraction to each other. If you've ever felt that spark fading with your partner but didn't know how to fix it, this conversation is your wake-up call. The truth is, most couples avoid these uncomfortable discussions until it's too late, ending up as roommates instead of lovers. We share exactly how to have those difficult conversations before your relationship reaches the point of no return. What's mind-blowing is how attraction evolves over time - from the superficial qualities that first catch your eye to the deeper connection that keeps you coming back years later. The good news? You can reignite that flame if you're willing to be honest with yourself and your partner about what's really going on. Top Quotes: "I think integrity and backing your words with actual action is a very attractive quality. Imagine me saying I'm gonna work on myself and be at the gym every morning and then I just kept doing the exact same thing. That's just not an attractive quality." (6:50) "If you're listening to this right now and you're in a relationship where you've lost attraction, literally have the conversation. If you don't, then it's only going to get worse and you're going to get more disconnected to a point where it's unfixable." (10:50) "I think you deserve to feel attracted to your partner and your partner deserves to feel attracted to you."

Trapped in the hustle loop? Here's why you can't scale past $15k months 🔄 In this episode, I'm exposing the invisible ceiling that's keeping your fitness coaching business stuck at $10-15k months. Even though you've mastered client attraction and delivery, there's a hidden trap that almost every coach falls into when trying to scale - and it's costing you tens of thousands every month. I break down exactly why working harder isn't the answer and why most coaches are literally doing the world a disservice by staying small. The truth is, this window of opportunity in the online coaching market won't last forever, and if you're already making $10k+ monthly, you're ahead of 99% of coaches out there. The real breakthrough comes when you understand how to multiply your impact through others. When you do the math (which I'll show you), the difference between a $15k month and a $100k month isn't about working 10x harder - it's about learning a completely different approach to your business. One that feels uncomfortable at first but leads to both more money AND more freedom on the other side. Top Quotes: "You're constantly bouncing from task to task to task in your business, and as a result, you're never able to scale past $10,000, $15,000, $20,000 a month. That's called the hustle loop." (01:46) "If you're making $10,000 to $15,000 a month right now, and you're not scaling, you are doing the world a disservice." (04:07) "I would rather take my car, drive it off a bridge, swim to the bottom of the ocean. I hate that. I don't want to be here if I'm not growing and pushing myself."

Are you willing to do whatever the fuck it takes to break through your income plateau? 🔥 In this episode, I'm calling out all the fitness coaches who say they want to hit $15K months but aren't willing to do what's necessary to get there. During my 10K Mastermind coaching calls, I reveal the only mindset that actually matters when you're trying to level up your business. You'll hear me drop some hard truth bombs about everything from pricing strategy to the dangers of working with your significant other. But the most powerful moment comes when I break down exactly how simple it is to go from $10K to $15K months - it's just basic math and four words that most coaches aren't willing to embrace. If you're tired of being stuck at the same income level month after month, this episode is your wake-up call. The gap between where you are and where you want to be is smaller than you think, but only if you're ready to adopt the mindset of doing whatever the fuck it takes to get there. Top Quotes: "I don't get involved in business with my significant other, okay? That's my rule. And the reason for that is because if anything ever goes south with my significant other, now it's a fucking problem." (32:05) "When we're done work, whatever happened at work has to stay at work. Which basically means, if there's ever anything that happened at work that's stressful, that has to stay at work." (35:20) "Whatever the fuck it takes, write that down. That's the mindset. That's the only mindset."

When you're both having a bad day at the same time, who picks who up? 😬 In this episode, I'm getting real with you guys about what happens when both partners are down in the dumps at the same time. Between my Instagram getting restricted, constant travel, and Kirsten dealing with pregnancy nausea, we found ourselves in that rare situation where neither of us had the energy to lift the other up. I dive into the difference between masculine and feminine approaches to stress (my tendency to work more vs. taking a step back), and why it's impossible to be happy 100% of the time in any relationship. The real growth comes from learning how to coexist during those challenging moments when you're both at your worst. So if you and your partner struggle when you're both having a bad day, I'm giving you the raw truth about communication, creating space, and approaching each other with love when you're both running on empty. Because sometimes the strongest relationships aren't built on constant happiness – they're built on how you handle the moments when you're both grumpy AF. 🙌 Top Quotes: "The relationships that last are the ones that learn how to coexist in the moments where, because if I'm only happy 60% of the time and you're only happy 60% of the time, then what are we doing in that crossover?" (02:19) "That's the difference between the masculine and the feminine. For me the masculine answer is work more work more work more. And the solution is like more feminine, like fucking relax, bro. Like take a fucking step back and just breathe." (06:59) "If I'm really stressed out, I try my best to like, tell her 'I'm super fucking overwhelmed right now'... Because if you don't communicate, this is where I'm at right now. And then all of a sudden you just fucking snap over nothing, which can happen easily."

Are you burning the candle at both ends? The hidden cost of entrepreneurial hustle ⚠️ In this episode, I'm getting real about my recent burnout and the chaos that followed. After weeks of non-stop travel, speaking events, and high-pressure sales situations, I hit a wall - physically, mentally, and energetically. What followed wasn't just internal exhaustion, but external manifestations too (hello, restricted Instagram account!). The entrepreneurial hustle culture glorifies grinding 24/7, but I'm calling BS on that mentality. Because the truth is, none of us are robots. That momentum you're desperately trying to maintain? It might be the very thing holding you back from your next level of success. I'm breaking down exactly how I recognized my burnout, what it cost me, and the simple shift that helped me get back on track. If you're feeling that weight on your chest and cloudy thinking that comes with pushing too hard for too long, this episode is your permission slip to decompress without guilt. Top Quotes: "You're not a robot. And you need to take time to decompress. And the time that you think that you're taking away from your business, aka recharging your energy, is actually the very same thing that's going to catapult your business to the next level of success." (4:38) "I'm a very powerful person. Positive and negative. And so are you. You're a very powerful person. Positive and negative. And the energy that I devote usually is, this is the best fucking day of my life." (1:56) "Sometimes that roadblock that you're facing, all you need to do is take a step back. And just breathe. Decompress. And then you realize, all you gotta do is take two steps to the right and you can just walk straight past the roadblock with no problems."

When Instagram blocks your account: how to keep growing with follower ads 🚀 In this raw and tactical episode, I'm breaking down exactly what happened when Instagram restricted my account from reaching non-followers for an entire year. Because here's the truth: when you're getting 10.7-14 million views per month and suddenly lose 50% of your reach, you need a backup plan. From calculating your exact cost per acquisition to determining the perfect targeting strategy, I'm revealing my complete framework for using follower ads to maintain growth even when Instagram tries to shut you down. Plus, I share why you shouldn't even consider running these ads unless you're already at $5-10k/month. Top Quotes: "I'm a big believer in universal energy... when I feel good, good shit happens. And when I don't feel good, bad shit happens." (0:48) "If I spend $28, I get 28 followers. I'm going to book one sales call out of that... I need to get six calls booked, which means I need to start about 168 conversations to get one sale." (6:45) "I wouldn't even consider running a follower ad unless you were doing five to ten thousand dollars a month... Once you're at five to 10k month, I think it's a fucking necessity."

How to handle haters and negative energy without losing your cool 💪 In this raw and unfiltered episode, I'm sharing a recent encounter with racism at my local grocery store and breaking down exactly how I chose to respond. Because here's the truth: there will always be negative people trying to bring you down, but YOU get to decide how their energy affects you.

And I get to decide how I'm going to respond. Regardless of what anybody says to me about anything ever, I'm just going to maintain my composure." (13:29) "Nothing comes from those back and forth 'I'm right, you're wrong' conversations.

The secret weapon to 75M views that nobody's talking about: Instagram Trial Reels 🚀 In this tactical episode, I'm breaking down why Trial Reels might be the biggest opportunity on Instagram right now that most creators are sleeping on. Fresh from Nashville where I just spoke at Adley's event, I learned something that completely changed my perspective on this "practice" feature. Because here's the truth: Trial Reels aren't just practice - they're a backdoor to reaching millions of non-followers without risking your main feed's performance. From my friend Brendan hitting 500k views in 24 hours to Adley gaining 40k followers in a month, I'm sharing exactly why you need to start taking this seriously. Top Quotes: "Trial reels gives you an opportunity to basically post double on social media with no negative feedback... if you're not posting on trial reels, honestly, at this point, I think you're fucking up." (2:49) "Sometimes something that I think is complete ass cheeks ends up going viral. So you can't ever pre-decide what's good and what's not. I believe you just have to post content."

From reading The Master Key System to landing multiple inbound leads after a mindset shift, we're exploring what it really takes to level up your business and your life. Because here's the truth: success starts with your internal world. When you start showing up like a winner and truly believing in yourself, everything changes - from random compliments in the grocery store to consistent $30k months. But to scale beyond that? You need systems. Top Quotes: "I feel like I've been working so hard... but working against myself in my head. What if for the rest of the month, I just focused on my internal world and just fucking felt like a winner, showed up like a winner?" (0:00:33) "This isn't a consistency issue. This isn't a leads issue. This is a systems issue. Your systems aren't established to be able to build a 20,000 to 30,000 a month business consistently."

And then the third level is to actually buy back your freedom." (12:42) "Most people, when they go to hire team members, try to do it themselves and they fuck it up...

The dark side of entrepreneurship nobody talks about: raw and unfiltered 😤 In this vulnerable episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the mental battles that come with being an entrepreneur - the weight of responsibility, the constant pressure to perform, and the relentless grind that most people don't see. Because while I'm grateful AF for my success, there's a darker side to "being your own boss" that nobody warns you about. From supporting 60 team members and 2,000 clients to taking care of my family and grandmother's bills, I'm sharing what it really feels like to have everything riding on your shoulders. Because success doesn't care about your feelings - you either show up and do the work, or everything falls apart. Top Quotes: "Your audience doesn't care about the emotion that you're feeling. They're online, and whoever's posting the content, whoever's in front their face, whoever's marketing to them, is the one they pay attention to." (8:38) "You have to be willing to walk that uncharted path with a fucking ferocious intensity that refuses to be stopped. And if you're not willing to do that, don't even start." (10:32) "There are some days that I'm gonna wake up and I'm literally gonna feel like I'm literally an absolute animal... And there's some days I'm gonna wake up and I barely have the energy to get out of bed. And regardless of how I feel... I'm just gonna show up and I'm gonna do the fucking work."

Dear Uncle Jerermy: a message about authenticity and speaking your truth 🎯 In this spicy episode, I'm addressing the elephant in the room - a certain sales coach who's been using my content for the past year while pretending not to know who I am. From reaction videos to running ads with my face in them, it's time to set the record straight about authenticity in the online space. Because here's the truth: too many people blindly follow "gurus" with big followings without questioning their methods. Whether it's a sketchy sales objection technique or a condescending attitude, I'm done staying quiet when I see something I disagree with. It's time to speak up and keep it real. Top Quotes: "Don't just blindly fucking follow advice. I didn't get to the level that I'm at right now by blindly accepting every piece of advice I got put in front of me on the internet." (5:20) "People are too afraid to fucking say what's on their mind because they don't want to stir the pot or come off controversial... Who gives a fuck? Say what's on your mind and stop being afraid to speak your opinion." (5:32) "Dear Uncle Jerermy, please keep posting my content. Cause it's clear to me that you are getting value from my videos. Cause my face helps you go viral. So you're welcome."

What you think is a permanent obstacle is actually just a temporary hiccup 💡 In this episode, I'm getting real about the mental traps we fall into when facing setbacks in business, fitness, and life. After injuring my back on what was supposed to be a simple stretching session, I found myself spiraling into thoughts of long-term failure – only to be deadlifting 315 pounds just a few days later. I break down how easily we can turn minor hiccups into perceived permanent obstacles, and why this mental shift is the biggest thing holding you back from achieving your goals. The truth is, most problems that feel overwhelming can be solved in just 2-3 days with the right guidance and perspective shift. If you're struggling to grow your online fitness business and feeling stuck, this episode will challenge you to reconsider whether you're actually facing a brick wall or just experiencing a temporary hiccup that proper mentorship could quickly resolve. 🔥 Top Quotes: "I believe that we can't solve the problem from the same mind that created it.” (4:54) "The reason that most people don't make it is that they never get an outside opinion. And they're just doing everything themselves." (5:31) "Your biggest adversity, the thing that you were struggling the most with, the thing that you are having a hard time overcoming is likely nothing more than a minor hiccup."

Stop changing what's working! The #1 mistake that keeps coaches stuck in their business 🤦♂️ In this episode, I'm going straight at the biggest problem I see with online fitness coaches who are actually getting results. Instead of doubling down on what's working, they start overthinking and trying to change their strategy. I jump on a coaching call with my 10K Mastermind clients and drop some serious truth bombs about content authenticity, client acquisition, and the psychology of scaling your business. From sharing your real opinions to properly qualifying leads, I break down exactly how to avoid spreading yourself too thin. If you've been signing clients but still find yourself wanting to "switch things up," this episode will be the wake-up call you need. Because the path to 6-figures isn't about finding new strategies – it's about mastering the fundamentals that are already working. 💰 Top Quotes: "You don't sign more clients in two days by accident. Stop looking to change things. Just keep doing what you're doing." (4:50) "If you chase too many rabbits, you'll get no rabbits.” (7:31) "If you want the authentic version of you to come through on social media, then you need to start sharing that. Your personality's coming out in your content, but I also know that you scripted all these videos. I want to know your actual opinion on stuff."

Why chasing gurus and mentors might be the exact reason you're stuck right now 🧠 In this episode, I'm calling out the entire personal development industry – including myself – for a toxic mindset that's keeping you trapped in someone else's version of success. Too many of us are looking outside ourselves for answers that can only be found within, and it's time for a reality check. The truth is, nobody has it all figured out. Not me, not your favorite influencer, not the coach with the perfect feed – we're all just doing our best to navigate this journey. Yet we keep buying into the idea that someone else holds the magical blueprint to our success when the certainty you're searching for has been inside you all along. What if in your pursuit of becoming someone else's definition of successful, you've completely lost touch with what YOU actually want? What if the constant guru-hopping and program-switching is the very thing preventing you from accessing your own inner wisdom? I'm challenging you to filter all advice (including mine) through one simple question: does this align with what I truly want to create? Top Quotes: "The answer to all of your problems, the solution to everything that you're looking for, is not outside of you, it's inside of you.” (03:18) "Certainty in direction is, in my opinion, insecurity masked as confidence." (06:45) "What if in the pursuit of hiring mentors and chasing gurus and taking information and listening to advice... you forget who you really are? In the process of chasing the person that you would like to become, you forget what got you started in the first place."

We share a powerful story about one of the teens from our Young and Ambitious mentorship program who's already built a $10,000/month business because he had the right examples to follow. The truth is, as parents, we're either becoming someone our kids want to emulate or someone they'll rebel against. If you're self-sacrificing to the point of losing your health, happiness, and identity, what message are you really sending? Too many parents are passing down generational traumas and limiting beliefs without ever taking responsibility for their own healing. Whether you have kids now or plan to in the future, this conversation will challenge you to look at parenting from a completely different angle. It's not about being perfect - it's about being someone your child can look up to instead of searching for heroes elsewhere. Top Quotes: "Do I want my kid to look up to someone else, or do I want my kid to look up to me? Do I want my kid to look at men on TV and be like, 'Wow, I wish I could be like him,' or do I want my kid to look up to me and be like, 'My dad's a superhero'?" (07:09) "You cannot express something you do not possess. And I think a lot of people, because you never fully deal with your own shit, because you're still blaming your past, you end up trying to pass down those habits, those character traits, those beliefs to the next generation." (10:33) "We don't see the world as it is. We see the world as we are. If you find parenting incredibly hard, you feel overworked, you feel overwhelmed, you wake up in the morning with instant anxiety and stress about the day ahead, when you walk into the world, what are you gonna get? You're gonna get more anxiety, you're gonna get more stress."

Are you operating from fear or love? The hidden reason why some succeed while others fail 🔥 In this episode, I'm exposing the real difference between people who achieve massive success and those who keep spinning their wheels. It's not about strategies, blueprints, or even work ethic - it's about where you're operating from on a daily basis. Two people can follow the exact same plan but get completely different results. Why? Because one is coming from a place of fear, while the other is coming from a place of love. Most people try to change their results by focusing on external circumstances - posting more content, sending more DMs, working longer hours. But the truth is, your outer world is just a reflection of your inner world. Your morning routine isn't enough. Those 30 minutes of affirmations won't override the 15.5 hours you spend secretly doubting yourself, harboring resentment, or living in fear. It's time to do the deep inner work - to unbecoming who you thought you were and remembering who you truly are. When you operate from a place of love, abundance naturally follows. Top Quotes: "You cannot change your default emotional state by doing 30 minutes of affirmations per day. You're trying to undo 25 to 30 to 40 years of trauma with 30 minutes of affirmations per day. That's fucking insane." (06:41) "The world without is a reflection of the world within, which is why Cole and I are able to stand here and speak greatness into you guys because we have seen it in ourselves, and so it's easy for me to see it in you." (17:00) "This isn't about becoming, it's about unbecoming. Why? Because when you came out as a baby, you didn't speak any language. You just came out as a baby, fresh slate... You came out as a blank slate. Remember when you were a kid and you didn't have any fear?"

Are you stuck in the hustle trap? Why the most successful online coaches are changing their approach 🔥 In this episode, I'm getting raw about a major shift in how I'm approaching life and business. For years, I've been the poster child for the grind - working 14-hour days, always being available to clients, and making my business the center of my entire existence. But I've realized something profound: even after hitting million-dollar months back-to-back-to-back, the quality of my life wasn't improving. I was making bank but missing out on actually LIVING. I'd lost that childlike ability to enjoy simple things like playing football, golfing, or just having fun without it being tied to work. The truth is, the entrepreneurial game never ends. There's always another goal, another milestone, another achievement. If you're waiting to enjoy life "once you make it," you'll be waiting forever. So I'm making a radical change - and challenging you to do the same. Because what's the point of building a successful fitness business if you're not actually experiencing the freedom it's meant to provide? 🤔 Top Quotes: "If you're an entrepreneur, the game literally never ends... so why not enjoy yourself along the way?" (14:34) "I'm starting to realize that I want to enjoy the journey while I'm on it... instead of holding off until the end." (13:41) "If you're an entrepreneur, the game literally never ends. If you're a mom, the game literally never ends. If you have your own business, the game never ends..."

From self-doubt to unstoppable: this coach reveals how he finally broke through after months of self-sabotage 🔥 In this episode, I sit down with my client Max who went from having just 100 Instagram followers to consistently hitting $6.5K months and now traveling the world living his dream. But his journey wasn't the overnight success story you might expect. For the first 7-8 months in my program, Max was stuck in a cycle of self-sabotage - getting momentum for a month, then falling off for two. He'd stop asking questions, wouldn't attend coaching calls, and constantly let limiting beliefs derail his progress. The crazy part? He finally reveals what flipped the switch for him. We dive deep into the dangerous mindset trap of becoming "the biggest fish in a small pond" and why you need to constantly seek environments that challenge you to grow. The truth is, there are three levels to mindset development, and most coaches never make it past level two - but that third level is where the real magic happens. 🚀 Top Quotes: "You will not fucking fail if you don't quit, or if you quit, that's the only way you're ever gonna fail." (17:49) "I don't want to be the king of a small pond, I want to be the fucking king of the ocean." (14:05) "Level three, which I told you you need to get to, is I'm so fucking confident I'm going to be successful that nothing will fucking stop me.

Your mindset is the ultimate business strategy: see why 99% of coaches fail because of this one thing 🧠 In this episode, I'm breaking down the REAL difference between online coaches who crush it and those who stay stuck. I just came back from the Elite Mansion Mastermind event, and let me tell you — when two people follow the exact same blueprint but get completely different results, it all comes down to one thing: state management. I introduce you to two characters: Negative Nelly and Optimistic Oli. Both post content that gets 100 views. Both book sales calls that don't convert. But their REACTIONS to these identical circumstances create entirely different outcomes. One spirals into frustration while the other sees opportunity and keeps pushing forward. The game-changing mindset shift you’ll learn in this episode will completely transform how you respond to setbacks, rejection, and the inevitable challenges of building your business. Because when you master your mental state, success becomes inevitable. 🔥 Top Quotes: "When two people walk the same pathway and one person gets the result and one person doesn't, it has nothing to do with the pathway and everything to do with the person." (9:04) "Do not seek what's true, seek what's useful." (4:22) "What makes the difference between somebody that succeeds and somebody that fails? I boiled it down to a very simple concept, and the concept is called state management."

Stuck in your fitness coaching business? This one mindset shift can unlock everything 🔑 In this episode, I'm going through rapid-fire coaching with my clients who are trying to scale their online fitness businesses. Whether you're making $5K, $10K, or pushing toward $100K per month, the same principles apply. One client was working harder than ever but seeing FEWER results. Another was stuck in social media doom-scrolling that was secretly stealing 2.5 hours of her day. And several others were making the classic mistake that's killing their growth potential. The truth is, most online coaches overcomplicate everything. They're constantly chasing new strategies when they should be doubling down on what's already working. Stop trying to "fix" what isn't broken and start optimizing the two things that actually move the needle: your time and your skills. Top Quotes: "We don't solve a problem that doesn't need to be solved. When shit's working, we keep doing the shit that's working." (41:46) "There's only two things you need to do... One, number one is optimize your time, which you've done. Number two is improve your skills. Those are the only two things that will get you to the next level." (37:03) "You can view social media as a consumer or a producer. I view social media as a producer. So when I go on social media, I'm very intentional."

To the warriors doing the work while no one's watching: I see you and your success is inevitable 👊 In this episode, I'm speaking directly to the real entrepreneurs who are in the arena right now - the ones grinding day in and day out to make their dreams a reality while everyone else sits on the sidelines. If you're feeling alone in your journey, putting in 10+ hour days behind your computer screen with nobody around you who truly understands the sacrifice, this one's for you. I know what it feels like to be the only one fighting for your vision. But I want you to remember why this journey is worth every struggle, every moment of overwhelm, and every sleepless night. When you help someone transform their body, you're not just changing their life - you're creating a ripple effect that impacts generations. The path of entrepreneurship can feel isolating, but you are not alone in this fight. And if you make the decision that no matter what adversity comes your way, you'll never surrender, never bend the knee, and never give up... your success isn't just possible, it's fucking inevitable. 🔥 Top Quotes: "I just want you to know that I see you. And I also want you to know that you're not alone." (1:00) "When you help somebody lose 50 pounds and they keep it off, and as a result of keeping it off, they pass down those habits to their kids. And because they made themselves healthier, now their kids are going to be healthier as a result." (2:48) "There is not a force on this planet that can stop you from achieving your goals."

Trapped in the hustle loop? Here's how to build a real business that scales to $100k per month 🔥 In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact business model that's helped 20 of my clients scale to over $100,000 a month as online fitness coaches. The truth is, most coaches are stuck in the hustle loop - growing their income only by working more hours and doing $4/hour tasks that keep them trapped. I reveal the "freedom formula" that shows you exactly what your business should look like at each revenue milestone - from the first three critical hires that help you escape the daily grind at $30K/month to the complete leadership structure that gives you unlimited freedom at $100K/month. This isn't theory - I show you exactly what positions to hire, how much to pay them, and how to train them properly. The best part? I don't just show you how to build the team - I reveal how to create unlimited leads through properly managed ad systems that deliver 3-4X return on ad spend. Because once you've got the right team handling your business, all you need to focus on is what actually matters: marketing and coaching. Top Quotes: "Your business will never build to 100k if you, as the CEO, are doing $4 an hour tasks. It'll never happen." (08:18) "Business is about knowing what problem to solve and what order to solve those problems in. You can solve the right problem in the wrong order, you still won't grow." (26:27) "At this level, you focus on what actually matters in your coaching business. Marketing and coaching. No matter what level you are at, these are the two things that you must become an absolute master at."

Can we talk about God? My honest thoughts on religion that might surprise you 🙏 In this episode, I'm getting vulnerable and sharing my personal journey with faith, spirituality, and religion in a way I've never done before. Growing up in an extremely religious household, I was baptized at six years old and followed strict rules about everything from what music I could listen to, to how I should dress. But as I've grown and evolved, my relationship with spirituality has transformed too. The truth is, I absolutely believe in a higher power - whether you call it God, the Universe, or universal consciousness. I just don't believe that love from this higher power comes with conditions attached. So if you've ever felt judged, shamed, or excluded because of religious beliefs, or if you're wrestling with your own spiritual identity right now, this conversation might be exactly what you need to hear. Because regardless of what path you're on, I believe there's room for all of us to coexist with unconditional love. Top Quotes: "I think we're here to express our most authentic self and for me to go to a church or to somewhere where you have to follow a set of rules… I just don't believe that we are placed on this earth to live by someone else's set of rules." (7:29) "I believe that we have a certain amount of time on this planet, from birth until death. And then, in that time horizon, I believe you either create your own heaven, or your own hell." (9:52) "I personally will say that my relationship with the universe is a one-on-one relationship. And I think that's all it ever needs to be.

The real difference between coaches stuck at $10K vs those making $100K a month 🔥 In this episode, I'm diving deep into what it really takes to be a winner in this industry - especially when everything around you is falling apart. Because winning is easy when your content's hitting, your clients love you, and life's in momentum. But what about when your Instagram gets restricted, your content stops performing, and clients are dropping like flies? That's when most fitness coaches get caught in a vicious cycle. The situation sucks, you focus on everything that's not working, which leads you to notice more problems, which creates even more negativity - and suddenly you're spiraling. But there's a fundamental difference between those who stay stuck and those who break through to the next level. The truth is, when you're in a place where nothing's working, you have to be delusional enough to believe that everything is going to turn around and that it's right around the corner. You have to convince yourself that you're just three feet from gold when all evidence suggests otherwise. Because that level of unshakeable belief is what separates the $10K coaches from the $100K coaches - they always find a way to win, no matter what life throws at them. Top Quotes: "The people that make 100k a month, they always find a way to fucking win. It's really that simple." (3:04) "Being a winner is fucking hard because when you're in a place where nothing's working, you have to be delusional enough to believe that everything is going to turn around and that it's right around the corner." (3:38) "It doesn't matter how many times I've got the door slammed on my face. It doesn't matter how many times I need to post on social media to be successful. It doesn't matter how many years I've put into Instagram. I fucking promise you, I am going to win."
