  When you think your anger isn't affecting your business (spoiler: it is) 😤 In this episode, Cole and I are diving deep into the five biggest mindset traps that are sabotaging your success - and why the term "self-sabotage" is just a bullsh*t excuse for weak people who don't want to take responsibility for their actions. We're breaking down why you're letting other people's opinions control your life, why you're seeking validation from broke family members instead of focusing on your goals, and how that unresolved anger you think you've buried is actually destroying everything you're trying to build. Plus, we're exposing the toxic cycle of starting and stopping that keeps 99% of entrepreneurs stuck in mediocrity forever. If you've been making excuses for why you're not where you want to be, this episode is going to be a hard wake-up call. Because at the end of the day, either you're committed to changing your life or you're committed to staying exactly where you are - and both are choices 🔥 Top Quotes: "If you are the one self-diagnosing self-sabotage, you are actively just choosing to tell the world that you don't care about your goals, and you're a little fucking softy." (1:07) "Fat people stay fat because they're afraid of what other fat people think." (4:33) "As soon as you have other people relying on you, it is not okay anymore. Grow up."

  Why your friends are ghosting you when you try to get them on a call 💀 In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly why people you know personally keep flaking on your coaching calls and what you need to do to fix it. Because here's the thing: just because someone messages you saying they want to train doesn't mean they're actually ready to become your client. I'm also diving deep into why getting followers doesn't automatically equal getting clients, how to handle the dreaded "I need to think about it" objection, and the one script you need to use with friends and family that will save you hours of wasted time. Plus, I'm calling out all the coaches who think posting value content 24/7 is the secret to success (spoiler alert: it's not). If you're tired of getting excited about "hot leads" who end up wasting your time, this episode will give you the framework to separate the real prospects from the tire kickers. Because at the end of the day, your time is your most valuable asset - and it's time you started treating it that way 🔥 Top Quotes: "I just gotta ask cause we're friends. Like, obviously I care about you. I want you to win. Are you just looking for a little bit of free advice? Or do you want to completely transform your life and take your fitness goals to the next level?" (1:09:01) "Not all followers are created equal. I want everyone to understand that." (8:48) "Whenever my business decrease's the first thing that I ask myself is, did I change any processes at any point that caused the decrease?"

  They lost it all once and built back to $47k/month in just 6 months 🚀 In this episode, I'm sitting down with Dylan and Gabriel from Impact Couple, who went from making $2,200/month to crushing $47,000 in sales last month. But here's the twist - this isn't their first rodeo. They've already built and lost a six-figure business once before, and the lessons they learned from that failure made all the difference this time around. With 926,000 Instagram followers and over 10,000 posts, these two have been grinding for years. But followers don't equal dollars, and when they first came to me, they were charging $47 for their fitness app and drowning in cheap clients.  What I love most about their story is how they used their past failure as fuel. When you've tasted success and lost it, you develop a different kind of hunger. Now they're not just rebuilding - they're doing it smarter, investing their profits, and making sure they never lose it again. Because sometimes you need to lose everything to learn what it really takes to keep it. 💪 Top Quotes: "I didn't feel confident that I had a good product and I did not have time working on it." (10:03) "Every time we have excess of cash, we're investing and we're securing our cash flow." (16:35) "The hunger, the drive, the fire that built it, you didn't need it anymore, cause you're chillin'. " (17:00) ___ Don’t miss out on our next live, in-person event.

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.
