    5 Habits I’ll Never Give Up

    Send us Fan Mail What are the habits you hope you’re still doing 10, 20, or even 40 years from now? After years of experimenting with different routines, goals, fitness strategies, and ways to improve my life, there are five habits I have no intention of giving up. In this episode, I break down why I’ll always make time for exercise and movement, why sleep has become increasingly important to me, why I need to have something I’m actively trying to get better at, and why I believe in consistently investing in both my financial future and myself through learning. But the final habit might be just as important as all the productive ones: making time to have fun for absolutely no productive reason. Not everything needs to make you healthier, wealthier, smarter, or more successful. Sometimes doing something because you enjoy it is reason enough. Some habits help you build a better future. Others help you enjoy your life right now.  I think you need both.  First time listening?  Check out our trailer: "Start Here - What The Power of Progress is All About"  It's less than 2 minutes and will help you jumpstart your fitness and mindset journey.

    What Actually Makes Someone Successful?

    Send us Fan Mail What actually makes someone successful? After years of working in fitness, building a career, making mistakes, chasing goals, and recording nearly 500 episodes of The Power of Progress, I've realized that success has a lot less to do with talent, motivation, or having everything figured out than we tend to think. In this episode, I break down the qualities I believe actually separate people who accomplish what they set out to do: taking action, staying consistent, being willing to suck at something before getting good, taking ownership, delaying gratification, adapting when life changes, staying focused, tolerating discomfort, and knowing when "good enough" is enough. But there's also a bigger question: What does being successful actually mean? Because you can make more money, get the promotion, hit the fitness goal, and accomplish everything you said you wanted—and still immediately move the goalposts. Success isn't just about accomplishing more. It's about building a life you actually want to live while becoming the person capable of creating and sustaining it. And sometimes, the hardest part isn't becoming successful. It's recognizing when you already are.

    5 Things I'm Still Trying to Get Better At

    Send us Fan Mail After nearly 500 episodes of The Power of Progress, there's one thing I've realized: I'm still a work in progress. It's easy to think that after years in the fitness industry, coaching, injuries, reading, and recording hundreds of episodes, I'd have everything figured out. I don't. In this episode, I share the areas of my life I'm actively trying to improve, including:  Being more present instead of always chasing the next goal  Celebrating wins before moving the goalposts  Focusing on one major pursuit at a time  Viewing recovery as productive instead of wasted time  Letting go of perfection and overthinking decisions Growth doesn't stop just because you've been doing something for a long time. In many ways, it becomes more about refining your mindset than learning new information. If you've ever felt like you're constantly chasing the next thing, this episode is a reminder that progress isn't just about moving forward—it's also about learning to appreciate where you already are.

    The Advice I'd Give My 20-Year-Old Self

    Send us Fan Mail If I could sit down with my 20-year-old self for one conversation, what would I say? After years of working in fitness, building a career, investing, making mistakes, recording nearly 500 podcast episodes, and simply experiencing life, there are a handful of lessons I wish I had learned much earlier. In this episode, I share the advice I'd give my younger self, including:  Why taking care of your body early pays off for decades  Why your career is a marathon—not a sprint  The power of investing early and letting time work in your favor  Why taking more risks can change the trajectory of your life  The importance of appreciating the journey instead of constantly chasing the next goal  Why focusing on one skill at a time leads to greater success  And the mindset shift that helped me stop trying to "win" every single day Whether you're 20 or 50, it's never too late to make decisions your future self will thank you for.

    The Biggest Fitness Mistakes I've Made (So You Don't Have To)

    Send us Fan Mail Nobody gets everything right—and I certainly haven't. After years of training, injuries, rehab, and nearly 500 episodes of The Power of Progress, there are several mistakes that slowed my progress and made fitness harder than it needed to be. In this episode, I share the biggest lessons I've learned, including:  Why I wish I had appreciated my progress instead of always chasing the next goal  The importance of taking deload weeks before your body forces you to  Why resting long enough between sets actually helps you get stronger  The mistake of skipping warm-ups  How just 5 minutes of mobility work can make a huge difference over time  Why rehab shouldn't stop just because the pain goes away  The trap of constantly trying to optimize every detail instead of focusing on consistency You don't have to make every mistake yourself. Sometimes the fastest way to improve is by learning from someone else's.

    6 Fitness & Mindset Beliefs I Completely Changed My Mind About

    Send us Fan Mail One of the best things you can do is change your mind when new experiences and evidence point you in a different direction. After years of working in fitness—and nearly 500 episodes of The Power of Progress—there are several beliefs I've completely rethought. In this episode, I share the biggest ones, including:  Why I've shifted from "Be, Do, Have" to focusing on taking action first  How journaling and brain dumping became one of my favorite productivity tools  Why I was wrong about meditation  The breathwork techniques I actually use (and the ones I still don't enjoy)  Why sleep quality has become one of my highest priorities  Why maintaining your health is sometimes just as valuable as constantly chasing progress  And why walking may be one of the most underrated habits for your physical and mental health Changing your mind isn't weakness—it's growth. Sometimes the biggest progress comes from letting go of ideas that no longer serve you and embracing the habits that actually make your life better.
