    146: Lift Heavy, Speak Strong — How Words, Fitness & Business Collide with Jason Fernandez of Best Hour of Their Day

    In this episode of the Full of Words podcast, Sue Kennedy sits down with Jason Fernandez — CEO and co-founder of Best Hour of Their Day, CrossFit gym owner of 17+ years, business coach, mindset advocate, and proud member of “the future… but in the past” (you’ll get it when you listen). From the other side of the world — and technically one day behind — Jason joins Sue for a deeply insightful conversation about fitness, language, business mindset, and why CrossFit gym owners accidentally become business owners more often than they’d like to admit. Jason shares how helping gym owners build stronger businesses is, at its core, a retirement plan for people who spend their lives building everyone else’s strength. The two dive into how our words shape our beliefs, identities, and choices — whether it’s soft talk sneaking into our sentences (“maybe, kinda, should, possibly...”) or old stories we’ve unknowingly carried for decades. Sue opens up about her own journey with health and resilience, and they alsoexplore how fitness, mindset, and language all collide to shape the lives we build. They touch on Jason’s upcoming book, “The Affiliate Blueprint” (working title… soft talk intentional), plus the wildly underestimated power of simply asking someone: “Is there something I can do for you?” Whether you’re in business, fitness, or just trying to clean up your self-talk, this conversation will leave you thinking differently about the words you use… and the weights you lift. Tune in now! Highlights:  (01:28) What CrossFit really is — and why it’s more than a tough workout (03:05) Sue’s health journey and how fitness helped her through cancer (05:53) Where words, mindset, and business collide (07:31) “Soft talk” — the sneaky language habits sabotaging your confidence (09:34) How one professor’s comment shaped Jason’s identity for decades (11:02) Victim mentality vs. personal responsibility in business (14:15) Tailoring language to different personalities (16:09) How Jason opens conversations: “Is there anything I can do for you?” (19:22) Jason’s upcoming book: The Affiliate Blueprint (28:20) Free resources for gym owners — and why business is business (30:01) Why every business owner should start a podcast (32:41) Final wisdom from Jason: done is better than perfect Sue Kennedy Links: Website:authoracademy.com.au  LinkedIn:Sue Kennedy Book Coaching Expert  Facebook: http://facebook.com/TheNo1AuthorAcademy https://www.facebook.com/groups/authoracademycollective Twitter: thauthoracademy Email:sue@authoracademy.com.au Booking Link:  https://suekennedy.as.me/complimentarysession Guest Link: Offer for listeners: https://www.besthouroftheirday.com/affiliate-tools Website: https://besthouroftheirday.com Instagram: @besthouroftheirday @coach_jfern Podcast: Best Hour of Their Day on Spotify Free Mini-Course: https://besthouroftheirday.com/podcast-mini-course
