Momentum with Steven Borden

My ambition is to get you to take action and move towards the life you want. We all have goals, and most of us want to be further along in life than we are currently. Whether you want to get in the best shape of your life, build a business, start a podcast, learn a new skill, or accomplish anything of substance, there's one thing you'll definitely need: Momentum. Different roadblocks keep us from getting where we want to go. For some, it's fear and insecurities. For others, it's plain laziness. Whatever the underlying issue is, almost anything can be overcome by generating a bit of momentum. Small actions repeated consistently lead to big changes. You're capable of making the changes you want to make. Whether you've set a plan a thousand times and given up every time, or you're just preparing to take a step towards a goal for the first time, you just need to learn how to build and sustain momentum. That's what I'm here for - each episode of this podcast, either myself or a guest will share insights on how to maximize your life and potential. I'll be interviewing some of the greatest minds in the world - from athletes, entrepreneurs, coaches, artists, psychologists, and more. Thank you so much for tuning in, and let's build some Momentum!

    Losing 160 Pounds, Keeping Momentum, and "75 Hard" with Bishoi Khella

    Today's guest is Bishoi Khella. Bishoi amassed quite the following on TikTok after his incredible 160 pound weight loss journey went viral. In 2021, he was north of 350 pounds. Today, he sits at 180 pounds (absolutely jacked) at 10.7% body fat. Bishoi and I chatted about his journey, what prompted this massive transformation, and what allowed this change to be different (what made it last). We also talked about how he sustains momentum despite life changes and distractions like vacation or busy work seasons, the exact plan he followed to lose 160 pounds, his business, and much more. All in, I thoroughly enjoyed this chat and it was fascinating to get to speak to someone who's made such extraordinary changes - and more importantly, sustained them. You can connect with Bishoi on TikTok here. Enjoy, and as always, please reach out to me with any questions, comments, concerns, or podcast topic ideas!

    Why You Aren't Losing Fat

    If the below quote resonates with you, this episode is for you. "I've tried keto, I've tried vegan, I've tried tracking my calories, I've tried everything. I've made some progress in the past, but I end up rebounding at some point and I'm further away from my goal than when I started. I'm not confident that I can stick with any sort of routine because even when I do, I feel like I don't get where I want to go." Discussion points include: Why the scale may not be changing despite you doing things rightHow to recognize water weight fluctuations (and make sure they don't discourage you)The three reasons why most people aren't losing fatA step by step process to get you moving in the right direction within 2 weeks Enjoy, and as always, please reach out to me with any questions, comments, concerns, or podcast topic ideas!

    Staying in Shape on Vacation: Actual Tactics to Enjoy Your Trip Without Setting Yourself Back

    It's easy to go down the thought process of "Vacation is coming up. I only have two choices: 1. Enjoy myself & eat / drink whatever I want, or 2. Be disciplined & stay in shape, but not have any fun." In this episode, I talk a bit about how reframing the way we think about vacations can be useful (and make vacations more enjoyable). I also give direct tactics that you can apply to make staying in shape on vacation much easier. There is a whole segment on alcohol & how to still enjoy your trip without setting yourself way back (hint: 15 Mai Tais is probably a bad idea). Vacations should be a net positive when it's all said and done, and if we can find a way to go, relax, and come back recharged without feeling like we set ourselves back on progress, that's the way to go. Enjoy!

    Josh Clemente is a former high-level SpaceX and Hyperloop engineer, turned founder of the rapidly scaling health-tech company (Levels Health). In this episode, Josh discusses how to apply first principles thinking to solve problems - whether in your career, relationships, or life in general. We also discussed the process of launching Levels, a product that allows you to look "under the hood" and see how foods you eat affect your blood sugar in real time, long term. If you've listened to any of my previous episodes, it's likely that you've heard me mention how important this is for health, performance, and longevity.

    The Principles of Fat Loss: Do Hormones Cause Weight Gain? How To Know What To Eat, Where To Start, & Much More

    I recorded this episode with the intention of creating a resource that you can use forever. Once you understand the principles of fat loss, you can apply those principles to any scenario presented to you & understand whether some nutrition claim is true or false (I.E. Will intermittent fasting directly cause fat loss? Will out-of-wack hormones cause fat gain independent of what you try to do? Can you eat as much as you want on a Keto Diet?) In this episode, I toggle between education and application. I don't just talk about the mechanics of fat loss - I also give you direct step-by-step guidance on how to apply what's discussed to meet your goals. I did my best to make this educational, but also easy to follow, with examples & tools. As always, please reach out to me on Instagram @stevenborden with any questions or feedback from this episode. Enjoy!
