Personal trainer Mauro Stara is used to helping his clients make BIG changes to their physiques.

In this episode we discussed how you need to prepare for a big transformation, and what is required to succeed. A coach can show you the way, but they can't do your press-ups for you.

It was a brilliant chat that flew by too fast. I'm hoping to connect with Mauro again very soon to talk further about the specifics of physical transformations, and share some further tips.

You can connect with Mauro on Facebook.

We could have so easily carried on for even longer with this recording as Tamara was dropping gold all over the place. Ever the professional we even lost communications half way through as her phone died, but she she simply grabbed a second phone and carried on. And I'm very glad she did.



In this episode you'll learn how to set yourself up for success marketing on Facebook including:


Tips for setting up your home page
The difference between a page and a group 
And how to increase engagement on your posts



I'm certainly hoping we can catch up Tamara again, as she touched on some great insights into building out a marketing funnel, but to go deeper clearly required a whole extra conversation.

Health and wellness expert Jurga Proudlove returns to the show to share her experience performing a liver and gallbladder cleanse.

The main function of the liver is to filter the blood coming from the digestive tract. Where it detoxifies any harmful chemicals and metabolizes any drugs consumed. Depending on the quality of our diets the liver can easily start to become overwhelmed and require a little assistance to keep performing at a high level. 

During this discussion learn how Jurga first heard about this cleanse, the protocol she followed, and the results she observed.

In this episode I have the great pleasure of speaking with former Royal Marine and Adventurer Baz Gray.

Baz is no stranger to taking on a big challenge, with a long history of impressive experiences under his belt. A former mountain leader in the Royal Marines, he knows what it takes to complete tough expeditions in all terrains. Not just in terms of what is required physically and technically, but also the mental and emotional demands that come with the territory.

During this episode he distills his wisdom down to some key pillars, that are applicable to every single one of us. A few areas that we should always be mindful of if we want to get ourselves ready for our next challenge in life. Whatever that may be.

I thoroughly enjoyed my opportunity to speak with Baz, as he was very generous with his time, and incredibly humble despite all that he's achieved. 

He still has the fire within him for his next challenge, where he has his focus on achieving a world first. So there is no danger of Baz slowing down anytime soon. You'll hear him talk about this in the podcast and it's no small goal at all!

But if anyone can succeed, you know it will be Baz Gray. 

And I for one look forward to following that journey all the way to the finish line.
