21 MAR 2025 · In this episode, we look at the darkside of gratitude. While regular practice of genuine gratitude is one of the best attributes to attain as a human being, there's a usage of it that can keep a person stuck, complacent and unhappy. This episode explores the use of gratitude that invalidates feelings and keeps a person trapped in a comfort zone of familiar misery, one where they ignore a source of misery and gaslight themselves into things being just fine. We provide some examples of negative gratitude, how to overcome it, and explain how it's ok to be grateful while still striving for something even better.

29 JAN 2025 · I went cliché to describe my approach with training and nutrition clients listing 5 ways I operate in assisting with the whole lifestyle change process. If you ever choose to work with me, you’ll know what to expect. I am very grateful to have been doing this for over 7 years.
Empathy – Asking someone for help isn’t easy. Therefore, the absolute most important way to respond to someone seeking guidance is through empathy. I do not speak to clients from a pedestal or in any sort of demeaning, insulting drill-sergeant fashion. I will listen attentively, understand their past, and assure them that their struggles are likely shared by many, including myself. I will proceed to inform them of all the incredibly stupid things I’ve done and how I’ve failed and learned from it. This creates a more comfortable, realistic space for them to open up and begin to establish trust.
Excitement – Once they feel safe and comfortable, we begin to put together the right process together. This should be done in a way so that there is more excitement and confidence rather than dread, fear, or self-doubt. However, it’s still common to feel some uneasiness when beginning a major lifestyle change.
Education – Once they begin to establish confidence, see results and demonstrate significant habitual change, then it’s best to begin educating them on adjusting macros, calorie cycling, strength programming, and all that other fancy bullshit that just sounds like words to them when just starting out. This is the final piece needed for the client to continue the lifelong process on their own.
Everlasting – This is what showcases the integrity of a trainer or a coach. If they’re doing this for the right reasons, they will not wish to create a dependency but should leave the client in a position to carry on all the new habits and learned information for the rest of their lives. I’ll constantly remind the client that this process is forever…and that should be both a little terrifying but mostly liberating.Â

21 JAN 2025 · In this episode, Mike welcomes Nick Becht back on the show for a discussion on the RFK "Make America Healthy Again" initiative. We address certain points in the policy that may be lacking relevant research and also find positive efforts within the campaign. We address specific food ingredients that have some controversy around them and the validity in the concerns in consuming them. We also brainstorm ideas of how to actually make the country a healthier place not just through food, but through our culture, health care system, societal norms, advertising, and mental health.

30 DEC 2024 · In this episode, Mike discusses 5 ways to help people stick to their fitness goal, as well as the 10 most common reasons why people find it so hard to start (or maintain) a regular training routine. The objective is to uncover what holds us back from making consistent training part of our lifestyle. We address time, finances, fear, purpose and other hurdles that seem to always appear throughout the process. All of this is very normal. So if you've started and seemingly failed, or never started at all, the best news is that it's part of life and you can begin immediately, but with a more focused approach on what can be sustained...FOREVER. Happy New Year!Â

27 DEC 2024 · We received really good feedback on the initial "Divorced Dads with Daughters" episode, so we did part 2! The purpose of these "Divorced Dads" episodes is to create a place where it’s accepted to discuss the divorce and parenting roller coaster and offer perspective to anyone based on our on-going experiences.
While we're certainly not therapists, nor do we pretend to be, this is a platform where we welcome any questions, input and participation.Â
Dan and Nick join me once again to shoot the shit on the following topics in relation to raising daughters post-divorce:
-Life changes since recording part 1.
-Splitting holidays.
-Do they still believe in Santa Claus?
-When should they be left home alone?
-The public bathroom situation.
-Laundry
-Handling minor disagreements and mishaps.
We intend to do an episode every 3 months so if you want to join us or suggest any talking points, please do! Thanks x10000000 to everyone who listens and provides feedback! Happy New Year!
