    How to Run a Full Prep, Multiple Businesses, and Never Let Anyone Know You're Competing

    Dive Deeper on enhancement and biohacking: https://www.skool.com/ddtmethod Work with Drew: https://www.ddtmethod.com/application Mike Crowson has been in the fitness industry for 17 years — as a competitor (17 shows, including Nationals), co-founder of Verizon Supplements, founder of Coffee Over Cardio, and now founder of AR Funnel, a white-glove software and marketing system built specifically for online fitness coaches. His first year in online coaching, he made $12,000. He eventually built two companies to seven figures. This episode is about what changed in between — and what most fitness coaches are still doing wrong. Drew and Mike cover how to balance serious competition prep with serious business operations, why most coaches are pricing themselves into obscurity, the psychology of sales confidence, the referral structure that actually converts, the content volume formula that Mike uses himself (6 posts per day, 500+ in a single year), and why niching down is the fastest path to premium pricing. Drew confirms he applied Mike's content advice from free reels alone — and revenue responded immediately. Key Takeaways: Why Mike says bodybuilding is the easiest part of his life, and how that mindset changes prepThe pricing mistake that keeps fitness coaches stuck with low-commitment clientsHow to charge more without needing to become the most educated coach in the roomThe referral handoff most coaches skip, and why it changes whether warm leads actually convertWhat happened when Drew applied Mike's content volume advice inside DDTWhy "fix one problem for one person" may be the fastest path to becoming the obvious expert Chapters: 00:00 — Opening and Mike Crowson's Fitness Business Background 03:01 — Why Mike Says Bodybuilding Is Easy 09:51 — Self-Talk, Gratitude, and Doing Hard Things on Purpose 17:43 — AR Funnel and the Business Problem Fitness Coaches Face 23:01 — The Fastest Ways to Grow a Coaching Business 26:37 — Pricing Psychology: Why Undercharging Attracts the Wrong Clients 41:47 — How Much Expertise You Actually Need to Charge Premium Rates 46:05 — Referrals, Transformation Posts, and the Three-Way DM System 52:16 — Content Volume, Ideal Clients, and the Three Content Buckets 1:07:28 — Niche Within a Niche and Where to Find Mike

    Move Like a Pro Athlete: Functional Patterns Deep Dive

    Join the DDT Method Skool Group for unfiltered peptide, PED, and training deep dives (50+ exclusive videos, new drops weekly): https://www.skool.com/ddtmethod In this episode of the DDT Method Podcast, I’m joined by Functional Patterns founder Naudi Aguilar to dismantle mainstream training dogma and rebuild it from the ground up. We cover why most people get diet and biomechanics completely backwards—and how fixing your gait, posture, and fascia can literally “train you out of a bad diet.” Naudi explains why linear barbell lifts (deadlifts, back squats, power cleans) create massive mal‑adaptations for 99% of normal bodies, how chronic imbalances drive stress hormones and emotional eating, and why your real KPIs are standing, walking, running, and throwing—not your 1RM. We also dive into: Why “you can’t out‑train a bad diet” is incomplete (and how Naudi actually did it)How dysfunctional biomechanics trigger stress, binge‑eating, and hormonal chaosWhy gait and fascia‑centric training are the future of strength & conditioningWhat Functional Patterns actually is (beyond IG clips and hate‑reacts)The real difference between Naudi and Paul Chek, and why KPIs matter more than exercises Why most “evidence‑based” programming is still naive about complexity and real‑world resultsHow FP helps MMA champions and wrestlers get more skill reps with less pain and fewer injuries If you’re a coach, biohacker, enhanced athlete, or just a jacked nerd who knows something is off with “normal” training, this episode will give you a completely different lens on biomechanics, fascia, and performance.

    The Internet Is Ruining Your Enhancment Protocol

    High-level biohacking intel: https://www.skool.com/ddtmethod Dom Cardone is an IFBB Pro who won his pro card at 21, started coaching at 16, and has been mentored by some of the most respected names in bodybuilding, including Dante Trudell, Chad Nichols, Oscar Arden, Chris Aceto, and Fakhri Mubarak. In this episode, Drew Donaldson and Dom Cardone break down what enhanced athletes are getting wrong about testosterone, growth hormone, retatrutide, blood pressure, peptide foundations, and online coaching. Dom explains why the old-school 500mg first-cycle default may be too aggressive, how low he has seen retatrutide work in real clients, why blood pressure needs to be treated like a serious performance marker, and why more information is not always making athletes better.

    Peptide Industry Insider: What's Actually Coming Next

    Join the DDT Method School community for $10/month — over 50 exclusive videos and articles, with new ones every week: https://www.skool.com/ddtmethod Brandon Eisenlauer returns to DDT Method after spending 3-4 years on both the front-end and back-end of the peptide industry. He's now the founder of Adera State, a brand built to drag peptides out of the research-chem vial era and into the mainstream — through transdermals, nasal sprays, pouches, and blends engineered with a pharmaceutical-chemistry R&D team. In this episode, Brandon and Drew lay out exactly how the peptide and supplement industries are about to be rewritten — what stays, what dies, and the 18-month window before everything changes. They get into why "feeling it" is the worst way to judge a peptide, why pharma is often ahead of the biohacking space (not behind it), and what the next generation of mainstream-friendly peptide products actually looks like. Key Takeaways: The peptides everyone's stacking that Brandon says is already behind the curveWhy "feel" is one of the worst ways to judge whether a peptide is workingThe 18-month window before the supplement industry looks nothing like it does todayThe molecular size cutoff that determines whether a peptide can go transdermal — and what to do above itWhy a 60-70% effective topical can beat a 100% effective injectable for most usersWhat RFK actually means for peptide access — and why it's not what the research community thinksThe unspoken reason injectable GLPs and topicals are heading in opposite regulatory directionsThe new Adera State product Brandon is most excited about (and the unusual delivery vehicle behind it)The "social performance" stack he gives to people who need to be on for workWhere the research-chem industry actually ends up by 2027 Connect with Brandon: Adera State: https://aderastate.com Biohacking U (free education library): formerly paid, now 100% free Connect with Drew Donaldson: DDT Method School: https://www.skool.com/ddtmethod Coaching: https://ddtmethod.com/application

    The Breath Protocol That Makes You Never Gas Out

    Want to go deeper on peptides, PEDs, and protocols? Join the DDT Method School Group for $10/month: [SKOOL LINK] Jeremy Warner has been in the fitness industry since 2000. He's a certified Muscle Activation Techniques specialist, a student of Patrick McKeown's Oxygen Advantage, and recently completed Martin McPhilimy's School of Breath Science. He now runs Performance Breath Training, working one-on-one and in group classes with athletes, bodybuilders, and general population clients who want to use their breath as an actual performance lever. In this episode, Drew and Jeremy dismantle the biggest misconception in fitness: that breathwork is a "woo-woo" calming practice. Jeremy breaks down the physiology behind why hyperventilation before training — the Wim Hof hack everyone copies — actually reduces oxygen delivery to working muscle, why most people burn carbs instead of fat during zone 2 cardio, and how a simple 2-minute pre-workout breath protocol can replace your pre-workout stim stack. If you've only known breathwork as something you do to fall asleep, this episode will rewire how you think about every single workout.

    7 Things Enhanced Athletes Get Wrong About Compound Selection

    Join the DDT Method Skool Group for exclusive deep-dive videos on peptides, PEDs, and protocols: https://www.skool.com/ddt-method Tom Schuster (@CoachTomFit) is an emerging performance coach who went from 105 lbs in a wheelchair after a near-fatal blood clot at age 16 to 255 lbs — gaining over 150 lbs and defying every medical prediction along the way. He now coaches enhanced athletes across the full spectrum from biohacking to bodybuilding competition prep. In this episode, Drew and Tom break down exactly how to structure compounds, peptides, and protocols for the enhanced athlete who wants maximum results without destroying their health. They cover Increlex, Equipoise vs. DHTs, the 3-peptide rule, female enhancement protocols, SLU dosing truth, DNP in prep, and why understanding how drugs work — not just what they do — is the only thing separating elite coaches from the noise. Key Takeaways: Why one compound is quietly becoming the most talked-about thing in enhanced circles for 2026The hard rule on peptide stacking that most coaches are violating — and what it's costing their clientsTom's go-to anabolic for growth phases and why he picks it over the popular choice 9 out of 10 timesHow Tom navigates female enhancement without virilization — starting at a dose that will shock most coachesDrew's evolving SLU experiment from micrograms to milligrams and what he's actually seeingThe one piece of biochemistry knowledge that Drew says should be a minimum standard for anyone recommending peptidesWhy the "more is better" peptide culture mirrors the supplement hoarding era of the 2000sTom's 4-pillar picks if he could only use 4 compounds foreverThe real difference between coaches who understand mechanisms vs. coaches who memorize drug profilesConnect with Tom Schuster: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CoachTomFit Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tomschusterfit/ Connect with Drew Donaldson: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheDDTMethod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drew_donaldson

    Protocols Over Stacks: What Serious Enhanced Athletes Build Before They Inject

    Deep dive into protocols → Join the DDT Method community: https://www.skool.com/ddtmethod Hunter Williams and Taylor Williams — two of the most respected coaches in the peptide and performance enhancement space — return to the DDT Method Podcast for a comprehensive deep dive into building intelligent protocols from the ground up. This husband-and-wife coaching duo works with hundreds of men and women, and they bring real-world, anecdotal evidence to every recommendation. This episode covers Hunter's 5-Bucket Protocol Framework (reproductive hormones, growth hormone, thyroid, insulin sensitizers, and mitochondrial support), Taylor's women-specific layering approach, the emerging molecules catching their attention (P21, PE2228, MK-777, injectable bioregulators, transdermal peptides), a full GLP selection guide (tirzepatide vs. retatrutide sequencing), mitochondrial optimization (SS31, MOTC, SLU dosing, ATX as an alternative), the case for SGLT2 inhibitors over metformin, and underrated muscle builders like IGF-1 LR3.

    The Training System That Builds Complete Athletes | Josh Settlage

    Join the DDT Method community for exclusive deep dives on PEDs, peptides and biohacking protocols: https://www.skool.com/ddt-method Josh Settlage is a strength and conditioning coach specializing in grappling and combat sports athletes. A protege of Mark Bell, Josh spent years learning at Super Training Gym before building The Strength Matrix -- his coaching practice dedicated to helping grapplers lift heavy and roll hard. In this episode, Drew and Josh break down why being "jacked in all areas of conditioning" matters the most to being a well rounded athlete. They cover the three energy systems you MUST train, why the "no cardio" flex is actually holding back your gains, how to apply conjugate training methods for any goal (not just powerlifting), the truth about HIIT misconceptions, and performance-enhancing compounds like DADA, BAM-15, L-carnitine, ITPP, and injectable glutathione for conditioning and recovery. Key Takeaways: Being conditioned across all energy systems (ATP-phosphocreatine, fast glycolysis, aerobic) is the mark of a complete athleteBuilding your aerobic base helps you recover faster between strength sessions and add more training volumeTrue HIIT uses a 1:3 work-to-rest ratio at 15-30 seconds of real intensity -- not 40 minutes of moderate effortThe VIP Method (Vision, Intention, Purpose) is the framework for breaking through training plateausDADA increases ATP yield from glucose (more performance); BAM-15 decreases ATP efficiency (more fat burning) -- never combine on the same dayCondensed conjugate (max effort + dynamic effort + repetition effort) in a 3-day split builds muscle without sacrificing explosiveness or conditioningInjectable L-carnitine is glycogen-sparing and helps sustain energy in long training sessionsInjectable glutathione used every 2-3 weeks acts as a "fire extinguisher" for accumulated oxidative stressWhen people say they follow their diet 80/20, it's really more like 50/50 -- push to 90/10 for 12 weeks and see what happensConnect with Josh Settlage: YouTube: @JoshSettlage Instagram: @JoshSettlage Coaching: https://thestrengthmatrix.com Connect with Drew Donaldson: YouTube: @DDTMethod Instagram: @DDTMethod
