    Post Show Life: Rebounding & Rebuilding

    Mikey's journey into bodybuilding goes far beyond the physical side of the sport. In this episode, we catch up with Mikey after six months of rapid change, exploring how competition gave him purpose, momentum, and a new sense of what he's capable of. After jumping into an eight-week prep just two months after his last appearance on the podcast, Mikey opens up about how competing in classic bodybuilding for the first time changed the direction of his year. We discuss the discipline and mental resilience the sport demands, the importance of adapting when the plan stops working, and why the relationships and lessons built through prep often matter as much as the placings themselves. We also dive into the realities of navigating post-show life, the emotional side of the rebound phase, the challenge of staying lean while eating to recover, and the accountability required to keep pursuing personal growth while switching coaches and finding the right environment to thrive in. This conversation is about far more than physiques or stage placings. It's about finding purpose through competition, building resilience through discipline, and becoming someone stronger both inside and outside the gym. If you've ever wondered what it really takes to prep, compete, and come back stronger, this episode will show you why bodybuilding can become much more than just training.

    #28 Pete Royle - Burnout, BS, And Building Better Clients

    Pete's story into bodybuilding goes far beyond the physical side of the sport. In this episode, we explore how a redirected career path gave him something he wasn't expecting - purpose, credibility, and a coaching philosophy built on substance over hype. Starting out chasing rugby, Pete opens up about how an injury and a chance opportunity in cardiac physiology changed the direction of his life. We discuss the gap between real medical knowledge and the misinformation that dominates the fitness industry, the self-proclaimed "specialists" who mislead their clients, and why so few coaches actually understand the science behind what they're selling. We also dive into the realities of building a coaching business too fast, the burnout that comes from chasing every client, and the accountability required to protect your own passion while still showing up for the people who trust you. This conversation is about far more than PEDs or client numbers. It's about finding integrity through expertise, building a sustainable career through discipline, and becoming a coach who's stronger both in knowledge and in practice. If you've ever felt burned out, disillusioned, or unsure who to trust in the fitness industry, this episode will show you why real coaching goes far deeper than quick results.

    #26 Reece Pearson - Who You Are VS Who They See

    Reece Pearson is a coach and athlete known for his honesty, perspective, and ability to stay grounded in an industry that often rewards perception over reality. In this episode, we break down the role of self-perception within the fitness industry - and how social media can distort both how others see you and how you begin to see yourself. With only fragments of people’s lives shown online, it becomes easy to fall into comparison, overanalysis, and a disconnect from who you actually are. We discuss the importance of staying true to your identity, why overthinking perception can hold you back, and how shifting your focus away from external judgment allows you to operate with more clarity and confidence. From navigating criticism, to building a genuine presence both online and in person, this episode highlights the value of being congruent in an industry built on image. We also touch on the environment you build around yourself - he people, standards, and culture that allow you to grow without losing your identity - and why the individuals who last are the ones who stop trying to fit into what they think they should be. If you’re training, coaching, or building something within the fitness industry, this episode will give you a clearer perspective on how to move forward without losing yourself in the process.

    #25 Josh Croggon - Building Your Own Path In Bodybuilding

    Josh Croggon is a leading voice within natural bodybuilding, known for his emphasis on authenticity, individuality, and building a physique with intent. In this episode, we break down the reality of natural bodybuilding - and why it’s often misunderstood. With the influence of social media, many people view the sport as either too restrictive or overly simplistic, leading to a lack of engagement and long-term progress. At its core, natural bodybuilding is simple. But simple doesn’t mean boring. We discuss the importance of enjoying the process, why individuality matters more than copying what works for others, and how long-term success is built through consistency rather than chasing “optimal” at the expense of adherence. From finding genuine enjoyment in training, to building a personal brand that reflects who you actually are, this conversation focuses on doing bodybuilding properly - not just following the crowd. We also touch on the pressures created by social media, the value of authenticity in a saturated space, and why the athletes who last are the ones who build their own path. If you’re currently training, competing, or trying to find your place within bodybuilding, this episode will give you clarity on how to approach it in a way that actually lasts.

    #24 Geoff Foden - Fat Loss: Simple, Not Easy

    Geoff is an experienced coach with years of hands-on work helping clients navigate fat loss, cut through confusion, and build results that actually last. In this episode, we break down why fat loss is often made far more complicated than it needs to be. With the rise of social media, people are exposed to a constant stream of conflicting advice - creating confusion, hesitation, and a lack of real progress. At its core, fat loss is simple. But simple doesn’t mean easy. We discuss the fundamentals that actually drive results, why consistency always beats complexity, and how overthinking the process is often the biggest thing holding people back. From the role of structured challenges like “Shred,” to building trust and long-term success through coaching, this episode focuses on what really works, not what’s trending. We also touch on the reality of shortcuts, the importance of patience, and why real transformation takes time, not quick fixes. If you’re currently trying to lose fat, or feel stuck despite putting in effort, this episode will give you clarity on where to focus - and what to ignore.
