Dieting Is For Dummies

Keto diet? Low carb? High Protein? Banana diet (just like it sounds)? Potato diet? Apple vinegar diet (really)? 🤢😱

With so much, information/misinformation circulating in the health & fitness industry is it any wonder most of us struggle with which path to follow? Which GURU is right? What works best for your body? With over 60% of the population still categorized as overweight or obese, it's apparent a disconnect exists between those that have the information and those that need it.  Jenny & Brian share some history on what led us to our "current nutritional crisis" and how you can navigate the waters of fad programs, dieting, and developing a sound nutritional strategy.

Once you have your nutrition figured out - you'll never have to diet again. 👊🏼

Motivation & Mindset

In this episode, we chat about the differences (and meanings) behind two of the most overly used and wildly misunderstood words in the industry. External and internal motivators can either be powerful allies or points of friction.

Truly understanding what drives our motivations (personal history, expectations, parents, etc.) is a key step in defining our goals and the path we'll need to take to get there. 

Jenny & Brian will also share how you can use "motivation & mindset" in other areas of your life - beyond just fitness. Being able to dig deeper into where your motivations originate can help you develop a greater understanding into the complexity of others. 

And for the record - trying to get Jenny motivated to run isn't going to happen. 😂

How to survive working with your spouse.

Working with your spouse always seems like a great idea ... until you start working together. 😂

Jenny and I share our insights on how to survive working with your spouse. It's not all talk and theory though - we've been in close quarters for over 8 years and had to adapt quickly to keep our relationship healthy. 

We'll cover how to navigate the scary conflicts that come with management structure, conflict resolution, interacting while wearing different hats, safe-spaces (not what you think), and so much more that can challenge the healthiest of relationships.

Introducing the Jeneral

I finally get to introduce the better half to the show (Jenny) and share how we came to delve into the fitness industry together. Spoiler alert - Jenny never had an interest in fitness, being a trainer, or becoming a full-time fitness professional. 

We turned away from a successful, well-compensated set of careers to embrace the opportunity to impact lives through fitness. 

While the fitness business looks to be nothing but push-ups and pull-ups a good trainer is connected emotionally to his/her clients. The struggle is real 😂

From Tony Robbins, failing partnerships, struggling in business, to building one of the largest and fastest growing micro-gym communities in Northern Virginia. 

And what's this Food Truck business?? 

Backstory on Brian

I'm the guy who was happiest as the class clown but was told early in my adult life that if I wanted to succeed professionally I'd have to hide my goofball-self. Finding my way back to the fitness industry has enabled me to re-center "me" and get to doing what God had in store for me. 

Fitness people are not put together well - there is almost always a backstory that drives us to pursue a lifestyle in the health & fitness industry. We touch a little on how I got here in this episode - full transparency - I'm just as conflicted, messed-up, challenged with life as the next person. 😂

Having some insight as to who I am, I hope, will show that my intention is to connect with you on a level you haven't seen from a fitness professional before.
