#1312- LACK OF INTEGRITY You're about to get uncomfortable, but someone needs to tell you the truth 💯 In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on what it's really like running eight and seven-figure companies - and we're not holding back. After dealing with a client who broke their payment agreement and then had the audacity to attack our character when we enforced our boundaries, we knew it was time to have this conversation. This isn't just about one entitled client who thought the rules didn't apply to them. This is about a pattern we see everywhere - people who make commitments, break them, and then play victim when there are consequences. Whether it's coaching programs, rent payments, or car loans, the same mentality shows up: "I know I agreed to this, but my circumstances changed, so you should bend reality to accommodate me." We're breaking down the difference between business and personal relationships, why integrity isn't negotiable, and how victim mentality will keep you broke forever. Because here's the reality - if you can't keep your word when it's inconvenient, you'll never build the character traits needed for massive success. Top Quotes: "My definition of integrity is you do exactly what you say you're going to do, even when the circumstances do not allow you to.." (09:58) "I don't set boundaries so you guys can then toe the line. I set boundaries so in my mind, I can then assess if you have crossed it and then be able to assess and deal with the situation." (23:49) "The barrier to what you need to do in order to be successful in this world is so fucking low. The top 1% make $10,000 a month. Are you fucking kidding me? 1% in the world. I hit that shit in two and a half months once I decided to stop being a drug addict." (37:32) Don’t miss out on our next live, in-person event.

#1311- "I Hit My First 20K Recurring Month!" 10k Mastermind Podchats Are you trapped in the same cycle, convincing yourself next month will be different? 😤 In this episode, I'm bringing you inside an exclusive 10K Mastermind coaching call where my clients are breaking through their biggest barriers and scaling their online coaching businesses. From hitting first-time 20K months to finally systemizing their processes, these coaches are proving that with the right mindset and strategy, momentum is inevitable. You'll hear real conversations about overcoming the fear of taking time off, building follower ads that actually convert quality leads, and creating systems that work even when you're not glued to your phone 24/7. If you're tired of playing small and ready to build a business that serves you instead of enslaving you, this episode will show you exactly what it takes to level up. Because the difference between the coaches making 3K and the ones making 20K isn't talent - it's systems and mindset. Top Quotes: "There are only two options, in my opinion. Option number one is you keep doing what you're doing, burning the candle at both ends. Eventually, you will hit burnout. Or option number two is you give yourself a fucking timeline and you just fully commit." (42:13) "Can I get a commitment from you? So when you join the coaching program, you're joining a lot of other really powerful women... My ask is that you use this community." (1:16:45) "Focus all of your energy, all of your attention, and all of your efforts on the system that's bringing you in the most amount of clients right now... if you've got a system that's consistently pulling in leads, don't try to learn a different system just because it could be good."

#1310- How To Be The Go-To Coach For Your Niche 06/24/2025

#1310- How To Be The Go-To Coach For Your Niche You're a great coach, but you're still broke because nobody knows who you are 😤 You care about people, you want to help, but every morning you're waking up, praying someone has DM'd you about your coaching offer. Here's the brutal truth: in a world where everyone claims to be an expert, authority isn't about credentials - it's about perception. In this episode, I'm giving you the exact blueprint I used to go from absolute nobody to the number one business coach for personal trainers. When I first started saying "I'm the number one coach," it wasn't true - I was making it up. But that's the game of social media, and I backed up that bold claim with relentless effort and results. You don't need a PhD, a six-pack, fancy funnels, or ten certifications. You need to shift perception, and I'm breaking down the three-step system to become the go-to authority in your niche within six months. Because while everyone else is looking for shortcuts, you're going to outlast them all with consistency and value that makes people lose weight just from watching your content. 🔥 Top Quotes: "Social media is a game of perception. So at first, I was making that blanket statement and then I backed it up with results." (1:03) "You can't just make the blanket statement that you're gonna be the number one person in the industry, and then not back it up with the effort to match it." (2:20) "The reason I became the number one business coach in this space is obviously because I'm awesome and I get clients' results. But the number one reason is I just stayed consistent for seven years." (7:05) Don’t miss out on our next live, in-person event.

#1309- How To Keep Clients And Make 10k Per Month 06/23/2025

#1309- How To Keep Clients And Make 10k Per Month You're hemorrhaging clients and don't even know it (here's how to plug the leak) 🔴 Getting clients is one thing, but keeping them? That's where most coaches fail miserably. You're so obsessed with lead generation and content creation that you've built a revolving door instead of a business - signing 10 new clients while 10 others walk out the back. In this episode, I'm breaking down the brutal reality: your training and nutrition plans are less than 50% of what keeps clients around. Anyone can get an effective program from ChatGPT with the right prompts, but what they can't get is the accountability, support, and community that transforms one-time buyers into lifelong clients. I'm revealing the exact 5-step system my coaches use to create world-class client experiences that make people never want to leave. Because if you want recurring revenue, referrals, and a loyal community that shows up to your events and upgrades with you, you need to master client retention before chasing your next lead. 💰 Top Quotes: "If you sign 10 new clients, you have 10 clients leaving. You don't have a successful business. You've got a revolving door." (0:16) "What's going to keep clients around for longer is not the information that you are providing for them. It's the accountability, the support, and the community that you give to them." (1:18) "I can promise you for an absolute fact that if you have six clients that consistently don't check in, those six clients are consistently going to be the ones that don't re-sign."

#1304- "I Doubled My Income In 1 Month With You!" - Podchats Why your friends are ghosting you when you try to get them on a call 💀 In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly why people you know personally keep flaking on your coaching calls and what you need to do to fix it. Because here's the thing: just because someone messages you saying they want to train doesn't mean they're actually ready to become your client. I'm also diving deep into why getting followers doesn't automatically equal getting clients, how to handle the dreaded "I need to think about it" objection, and the one script you need to use with friends and family that will save you hours of wasted time. Plus, I'm calling out all the coaches who think posting value content 24/7 is the secret to success (spoiler alert: it's not). If you're tired of getting excited about "hot leads" who end up wasting your time, this episode will give you the framework to separate the real prospects from the tire kickers. Because at the end of the day, your time is your most valuable asset - and it's time you started treating it that way 🔥 Top Quotes: "I just gotta ask cause we're friends. Like, obviously I care about you. I want you to win. Are you just looking for a little bit of free advice? Or do you want to completely transform your life and take your fitness goals to the next level?" (1:09:01) "Not all followers are created equal. I want everyone to understand that." (8:48) "Whenever my business decrease's the first thing that I ask myself is, did I change any processes at any point that caused the decrease?"

#1302- Fighting Is Normal 06/03/2025

#1302- Fighting Is Normal We don't have it all figured out, and that's exactly why our relationship works 💯 In this episode, Kirsten and I are pulling back the curtain on what our relationship actually looks like behind the Instagram highlights. After seeing some friends put on a perfect front online while their relationship crumbled in real life, we decided it was time to get brutally honest about how we navigate the messiness of marriage - including the petty fight we had literally last night. The truth is, we fight like cats and dogs sometimes. We're both stubborn as hell, and when we clash, it can last for days. But here's what nobody tells you about relationships: it's not about never fighting. It's about how you move through those fights without destroying each other in the process. So if you're sitting there wondering if your relationship is broken because you and your partner aren't living in perfect harmony 24/7... relax. And tune into this episode. Top Quotes: "When you do see a perfect relationship online, I'm almost going to guarantee you that it's not perfect behind the scenes." (1:14) "You can't have two individual human beings that have different values and core values and principles and how they operate and put them in one place and never have any sort of dissonance or disagreeance about how things work." (5:03) "It’s kind of like living with your best friend and having a sleepover with your best friend every night. There's so many nights where we're laughing, or we're just reflecting on our day, and we're talking about how cool our life is." (3:19) ___ Don’t miss out on our next live, in-person event.

#1301- "I Made 15k And It's Only 20 Days Into The Month!" Podchats Proof that you're thinking too small when it comes to growing your coaching business 🤯 In this episode, I'm hosting my 10K Mastermind clients for a live Q&A where we dive deep into the real challenges that separate struggling coaches from those hitting consistent 5-figure months. You'll hear from coaches who just hit their first 10K month, others scaling past 15K, and the exact strategies they're using to get there. From content pattern recognition to building unstoppable momentum, we're covering the needle-moving tactics that most coaches completely miss. But here's what you won't expect - sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come from the problems you're NOT focusing on. If you're tired of spinning your wheels and ready to see what's actually possible when you dial in the fundamentals, this episode will show you exactly what the top performers are doing differently. Because the gap between where you are and where you want to be isn't as big as you think - it's just different than what you've been told. Top Quotes: "Every online coach on this coaching call, and in general, should have their recurring covering your base monthly expenses. If you're recurring isn't currently covering your base monthly expenses, including your car payment, your gas, your fucking house, any subscriptions you have, trainerize, all of it. If you're recurring isn't covering that, then that needs to be a primary focus." (13:07) "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again. You need to make the commitment to master your content." (20:55) "Your videos are same information, same delivery. That's why your page isn't growing."

#1300- Maurine Went From 27K to 118K in 8 Months! Here's How... 05/20/2025

#1300- Maurine Went From 27K to 118K in 8 Months! Here's How... The decision that transformed her business from $7K to $118K per month — and the surprising value her clients love most 🦄 In this episode, I sit down with Marine, one of my VIP clients who's absolutely crushing it in the online fitness space. She's gone from 2K Instagram followers to 95K, with a business that's now generating $118K per month serving nearly 200 women who want to get "strong and confident AF." But the journey to get there wasn't straightforward. Marine shares the bold moves that accelerated her growth, including the decision to fly from Australia to Canada for a PT Domination event just ONE WEEK before her wedding. While many would let fear or practicality hold them back, Marine and her partner asked themselves, "What would make the better story?" What's most fascinating is how Marine has built a thriving brand around unicorns while staying true to her core value of connection. Even as she scales to nearly 200 clients, she's found a way to make every person feel personally cared for—a challenge many coaches struggle with as they grow. If you're wondering how to scale your coaching business without losing the personal touch, this episode is a must-listen. Top Quotes: "Just fucking go. If you even have, like, 1% of an inkling that you might want to go, just do it because chances are, the reason you're not doing it is some form of fear." (11:29) "What would make the better story? That we didn't go to the event because our wedding was a week later, or that we went to the event overseas and then had a wedding?" (04:39) "If I'm willing to do the work, then I can do whatever else anyone else is doing." (08:08) Don’t miss out on our next live, in-person event.

#1299- GENDER REVEAL! And Getting Over Arguments w/ Kirsten Mark When girl dad expectations collide with reality: navigating the emotional rollercoaster of our gender reveal 💖 In this episode, Kirsten and I get real about the unexpected emotions that surfaced when we found out we're having a baby girl. I was convinced it was going to be a boy, so much so that I had Kirsten believing it, too… only to be completely shocked during the reveal. What followed was an intense couple of weeks as we both wrestled with our fears, expectations, and past experiences. Kirsten opens up about her concerns that I might not be excited about having a daughter, while I share the deeper fear behind my initial reaction. We talk openly about how major life milestones tend to trigger our deepest insecurities and how we navigate through them as a couple. If you've ever experienced relationship tension during what should be "happy" moments, this conversation is for you. We don't hold back on sharing the arguments, the space we needed to take, and ultimately how we came back together stronger than ever, pink Team Girl bracelet and all. Because sometimes the universe gives you exactly what you need, not what you think you want. Top Quotes: "Even if you treated me like shit for the rest of my life, I would never leave you. I would go through hell if you put me through it." (07:44) "Every time you're in your relationship where you have a commitment milestone, that is usually when your fears, your anxiety, your trauma comes up."

(23:07) "Every “no” is one step closer to a “yes, baby.” I'm sure as fuck glad that person said no, because that means my yes is right around the corner." (24:43) "If you give your prospects all these things at once... it's almost like there's too much stuff. So you need to make it one thing at a time."

#1288- I Am Not Your Guru Why chasing gurus and mentors might be the exact reason you're stuck right now 🧠 In this episode, I'm calling out the entire personal development industry – including myself – for a toxic mindset that's keeping you trapped in someone else's version of success. Too many of us are looking outside ourselves for answers that can only be found within, and it's time for a reality check. The truth is, nobody has it all figured out. Not me, not your favorite influencer, not the coach with the perfect feed – we're all just doing our best to navigate this journey. Yet we keep buying into the idea that someone else holds the magical blueprint to our success when the certainty you're searching for has been inside you all along. What if in your pursuit of becoming someone else's definition of successful, you've completely lost touch with what YOU actually want? What if the constant guru-hopping and program-switching is the very thing preventing you from accessing your own inner wisdom? I'm challenging you to filter all advice (including mine) through one simple question: does this align with what I truly want to create? Top Quotes: "The answer to all of your problems, the solution to everything that you're looking for, is not outside of you, it's inside of you.” (03:18) "Certainty in direction is, in my opinion, insecurity masked as confidence." (06:45) "What if in the pursuit of hiring mentors and chasing gurus and taking information and listening to advice... you forget who you really are? In the process of chasing the person that you would like to become, you forget what got you started in the first place."

#1286- What Do You Want Your Kids to Say About You? W/ Kirsten Mark Your kids are watching everything: are you someone they'll want to be like? 👀 In this episode, Kirsten and I dive deep into the reality that your children are watching, learning, and internalizing everything you do – not just what you say. We share a powerful story about one of the teens from our Young and Ambitious mentorship program who's already built a $10,000/month business because he had the right examples to follow. The truth is, as parents, we're either becoming someone our kids want to emulate or someone they'll rebel against. If you're self-sacrificing to the point of losing your health, happiness, and identity, what message are you really sending? Too many parents are passing down generational traumas and limiting beliefs without ever taking responsibility for their own healing. Whether you have kids now or plan to in the future, this conversation will challenge you to look at parenting from a completely different angle. It's not about being perfect - it's about being someone your child can look up to instead of searching for heroes elsewhere. Top Quotes: "Do I want my kid to look up to someone else, or do I want my kid to look up to me? Do I want my kid to look at men on TV and be like, 'Wow, I wish I could be like him,' or do I want my kid to look up to me and be like, 'My dad's a superhero'?" (07:09) "You cannot express something you do not possess. And I think a lot of people, because you never fully deal with your own shit, because you're still blaming your past, you end up trying to pass down those habits, those character traits, those beliefs to the next generation." (10:33) "We don't see the world as it is. We see the world as we are. If you find parenting incredibly hard, you feel overworked, you feel overwhelmed, you wake up in the morning with instant anxiety and stress about the day ahead, when you walk into the world, what are you gonna get? You're gonna get more anxiety, you're gonna get more stress."
