INTERN Q&A: Starting a Business, Wisdom, & What Pain Teaches Us [Ep. 394]
Manage episode 449402323 series 2537715
What a fun episode today as I got the opportunity to sit down and chop it up with 3-young college interns from Fitness Quest 10 and their Director (Ryan Rogers). It was awesome to have an open conversation on all things on their mind and how I can help them on their journey in health, fitness, & coaching. They asked some very thought-provoking questions that lead to deep reflections and deep answers.
Here are the questions that the 3 interns (Larry Hando, Max Jackson, and Ian Castillo) asked Ryan Rogers and I on today’s IMPACT SHOW podcast:
1. "What was the moment that you knew you wanted to go into fitness & motivational speaking and what has made you stay on this path?"
2. "How do you find the balance between personal life and your passion for fitness and helping people?"
3. “How do you keep your mind right through the pain & struggle you have had to endure?"
4. “When you're in your dark times, or you fail, or you feel guilty about something, how do you process that and get through it?”
5. "How do you keep your ego in check when working with both high-level athletes and everyday clients? How do you stay humble and treat everyone equally?"
6. "What’s the most fulfilling part of your work and how do you stay motivated after years of coaching?"
7. “What advice do you have for young coaches or trainers just starting out in the industry?"
8. “In 24-years of Fitness Quest 10, what were your fondest memories and most special experiences, accolades, or events?”
Man, did I love this conversation. Some of the macro-themes centered around topics such as…
- The power of SHOWING-UP.
- The concept of “Be Humble…Be Hungry” and how that relates these days.
- The importance of building relationships and the right network, as this lends to your community that you are part of.
- How to deal with physical pain, loss, failure, and challenge…and how they ultimately can serve as catalysts for growth also.
- Building a career with Purpose and the elements it requires to do so over years and decades.
- The Beauty of the Beginning, when there were no frills and just hard work, dedication, and a driving vision to help people.
- Wisdom & advice for New Coaches & Trainers.
MAN!! This was such a fun episode and it was so great getting to connect with these young interns who are eager to learn and grow in the fitness industry. Their questions reminded of the power of consistency, the importance of showing up, and the incredible impact coaching can have on someone. While the road to success can often be tough, filled with challenges and even pain, it’s in those very moments that we experience the most growth. Keep growing…and keep going!
