The Real Reason Most New Year Fitness Plans Fail (And How To Fix It)

This episode digs into the real reason most fitness plans fail — and why it has nothing to do with motivation, willpower, or discipline — and everything to do with how your plan is built.


In this video:


• Why 95% of New Year plans collapse within six months

• The difference between taking action vs taking the right action

• Why your body only adapts when you create real stimulus

• How to build your plan for your busiest weeks — not your best ones

• The power of flexibility, seasons, and “holding the line”

• Why enjoyment matters more than intensity for long-term results


If you’re a busy parent, business owner, or high performer who’s sick of starting over every year — this episode will help you build a system that actually lasts.


Watch it through and you’ll walk away with a clearer, calmer, more sustainable approach to training, nutrition, and consistency going into 2026.

Why Feeling Good Should (And Can) Be Your Default State - #30

In this episode, I break down the simple but powerful habits that quietly shape how you feel every single day. Not aesthetics. Not extremes. Just the fundamentals that raise your baseline and make life feel lighter by default.


In this video:

  • Why exercise, real food, and sleep are massively underestimated for mental health
  • How modern lifestyles quietly drain energy, mood, and focus
  • Why perfection backfires and consistency wins
  • The role of strength, mobility, and cardio in long-term wellbeing
  • Simple sleep and nutrition principles that actually stick


This episode isn’t about hacks or motivation. It’s about building a body and mind that support your life instead of fighting it.


If you want to wake up feeling ready more often than not, this one matters.
