The Pain That Drives You – The Pain That Doesn’t
31/01/2018 Duration: 41minDuring this week’s MANformation podcast, I talk about pain. I talk about the pain that drives you to reach your goals. I also talk about the pain that doesn’t move you forward. Well, it doesn’t for very long. If you’re constantly growing, you’re going to feel discomfort at times. If your goals and dreams are ambitious, you’re going to feel out of control at times. If you’re pushing yourself, you’re going to feel some angst. There’s no way around it. Discomfort, out of control, angst, or whatever you want to call it, pain is always going to be a part of the growth process until you finally break through. The good news is that, after you effectively deal with the pain and figure things out, it goes away. What’s left is a clear mind, references of success, sense of accomplishment, and the ability to enjoy what you’re doing.

The Gentle Giant Who Roared (And They Never Felt Safe Again)
29/01/2018 Duration: 45minDuring this week’s MANformation Podcast, I’m going to talk about . . . The Gentle Giant Who Roared (And They Never Felt Safe Again) You want to make sure you listen to this one. This is a common scenario that men who are dedicated to the structured, disciplined bodybuilding and training lifestyle unconsciously set up in their relationships. They set themselves and the people they care about up for eventual failure. Maybe you can relate? Let me explain. Despite your strong physical presence, presenting yourself on the quiet side and “humble” is a character quality that’s very important to you. You are often complimented for carrying yourself this way. It’s just you. Here’s the challenge: People continually let you down. They seem to take advantage of your good nature, kindness, and humility. No matter how considerate you try to be, you’re not appreciated. Until you’ve had enough. Want to take action now?

The Direct Route Is Always The Best Route
23/01/2018 Duration: 46minAre you a man who likes everything totally structured and organized before you take action? That makes a lot of sense, doesn’t it?

Do you find yourself setting ambitious goals, getting excited about them, but you never seem to get going? That’s a challenge. There’s no sense making elaborate plans if you don’t take enough action. During this MANformation Podcast, I’ll get you to rethink waiting until you’re “ready” to start focusing on your big, huge, emotion-packed goals that are most important to you.

I had given my all to my career for 15 straight years and reaped many awesome benefits that were far bigger than my six national drug-free bodybuilding championships. Maybe that’s why you and I have connected right now. That’s HUGE for me! My success came with what I saw as huge challenges. I felt I paid an extremely high price for those experiences. That journey left me scared. I just didn’t realize it. I held back from really going for it in other areas of my life after I retired. Something was missing. I just didn’t know what. I knew it was something much, much bigger t
