    Amanda Nydén: The Cost of Chasing Extraordinary

    Lenus is on a mission to build the world's best coaching businesses. Learn more Follow Lenus on Instagram Are you a coach ready to build your business with Lenus? Apply here Amanda Nydén built MandyFit from a single group-fitness class in a small Swedish town into one of the most successfull coaching businesses in the Nordics. In this episode she sits down with Daniel in Copenhagen to trace the whole arc: the inner drive that kept pushing her out of her comfort zone, the long grind to a pro card, and the burnout that finally forced her to slow down. Amanda is refreshingly honest about the parts most people hide. She talks about chasing a goals harder than most could, the identity shift that came when the competing stopped, and the autumn she woke up unable to get out of bed. Her story is a study in grit, and also in learning when grit stops serving you. Along the way she unpacks the lessons that now shape how she leads as a Health Entrepreneur: why goals deserve a timeline measured in years rather than weeks, why the magic tends to live just outside your comfort zone, and why a founder has to stop managing everything and become the creator of the business instead. Whether you coach, build, or simply push yourself hard, this is a warm, candid look at ambition, the cost of it, and what it takes to keep going without breaking.

Apply here Follow Lenus on Instagram Kevin Clevenger got clean, got strong, and built Iron Sanctuary "one rep at a time". In this episode, the founder who grew a following of millions by being radically honest online sits down to talk addiction, recovery, and the daily fight to make the sad voices go away. Kevin doesn't flinch from the hard parts: the friend he lost to suicide, his own attempt, and why he believes the biggest killer is silence. He opens up about why food addiction can be even harder to beat than drugs, what recovery rooms taught him about how addicts actually feel, and how being radically honest online gave millions of people permission to stop hiding. Underneath it all is the throughline of his work: training as a tool for mental health, and breaking the silence that keeps people stuck. It's a raw, hopeful conversation about turning pain into purpose, and the strength it takes to stay on the journey of creating impact at scale. This episode discusses addiction and suicide.

    Bliss Patrick: From Rock Bottom to Building Bliss Mode

    Learn more about Lenus Follow Lenus on Instagram Work with Lenus In this episode of Impact Junkies, Daniel sits down with Bliss from Bliss Mode to unpack the story behind one of the most energetic forces in online coaching. Before building Bliss Mode, Bliss was working early mornings as a trainer, late nights as a server, and doing everything she could to keep coaching people — even when she was barely getting by. One of her lowest moments came when her car was repossessed outside the gym while she was coaching a class. She calls it her rock bottom.  This conversation is about grit, self-belief, and what it really takes to turn passion into impact at scale — from garage training during COVID to building a coaching brand that has helped thousands of people move more, train harder, and change their lives. In this episode: Bliss’ early relationship with health and fitness, the grind years, her rock bottom moment, building Bliss Mode, scaling online coaching, and leading with energy, passion, and purpose.

    Liza Marie: GLP-1s are not enough

    Relevant links: Learn more about Lenus Start your Health Entrepreneur journey and Partner with Lenus Follow Lenus on Instagram This episode of Impact Junkies: Few topics are changing the future of weight loss more than GLP-1s. But according to Liza Marie, medication alone is not the full answer. In this episode of Impact Junkies, Daniel sits down with Liza Marie, also known as the weight loss big sister, to talk about her own transformation, the 140 lbs she lost, the coaching business she built, and why sustainable weight loss still comes down to habits, support, strength training, nutrition, and lifestyle change. Liza shares what it was like growing up overweight, using food for comfort, feeling stuck in life, and eventually taking the first step during lockdown: a 20-minute walk. That first step became 10,000 steps, then 30 lbs lost, then 140 lbs lost, and eventually a business that has helped more than 9,300 women change their lives. They also dive into one of the most important conversations in health right now: how GLP-1s can reduce food noise and create powerful change, but why coaching may be the missing piece that helps people build a healthier lifestyle they can actually sustain. This is a conversation about weight loss, food noise, confidence, coaching, GLP-1s, and what it really means to build a smaller body for a bigger life.   Thank you for listening to Impact Junkies – Powered by Lenus Follow the show, leave a rating, and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.
