Eric Byrnes is a former MLB star who is now on the MLB Network. Last summer, in order to bring attention to the lack of PE in our schools, Eric swam, ran, and rode across the United States from San Francisco to New York City, and the documentary he created, Let Them Play, is awesome. Eric came on to chat about the lack of PE in schools and the creation of his film.

In life and in business we have to make a lot of tough decisions. Sometimes to get closer to our goals you have to quit that very thing that makes you money right now. As scary as some of these scenarios may sound, they are absolutely crucial to your success in becoming exactly what you want be. Nancy and myself talk about some of the things that we had to quit, that eventually lead to our biggest breakthroughs.    Be sure to checkout gymryan.com to get details on my next keto cycling challenge and check out my latest training ebooks!   ---------------------------------------------------------------- Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-ep105 ----------------------------------------------------------------   ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe

Are you a coach who is passionate about creating solutions to the “bigger problems” you see in the gym everyday?    Are you still struggling on where to go to find the solutions?   Like many coaches out there, Daniel Hong had the fire to help but didn’t quite have the tools. When you listen to Daniel speak about his commitment to excellence you will have little doubt that he would eventually get exactly what he needed to crush the 1-on-1 business and change the lives of others.   In this episode we talk about the problems he heard day-to-day while coaching classes and his frustration with the lack of time to solve them. We discuss the mindset required to set the right price for a 1-on-1 session, what really happens when you discount your prices, plus what to do when you know that the group setting is no longer serving you.   Did we mention, Daniel was able to do all of this before even starting our Immersion course by just watching a short video?    Minutes: 5:00 - The invisible gorilla 11:00 - Creating the v

Have you ever had an employee leave and take over $15,000 of revenue with them? Our guest was THAT employee, but don’t get triggered just yet.   In this episode, we’re talking to 1-on-1 Active Life Coach and personal trainer Larry Gaier. He talks about his decision to leave his job at New York Sport Club and take his clients with him.   If you haven’t experienced remote programming for yourself it may seem unlikely that you can achieve the same results, if not better, and never even see your coach or trainer in person. We discuss the difficult choice he had to make in leaving his dream job and why he doesn’t regret it for a second. Plus, Larry talks about how he restructured his services to do less work while making more money, having a greater impact on his clients, and how you can start doing the same.    Minutes: 11:15 Charging what you’re worth 18:15 Be a reflection of your intentions 22:50 Building competence & confidence 29:30 Creating self-efficacy 34:00 When to refer out   Please Support our Spons

Alex started lifting weights as soon as he left high school after suffering from bullying. He wanted to build a strong and healthy physique as he weighed a total of 112 lbs. He didn’t want to be the guy being picked on anymore. Alex recalls, “I did not want to be the skinny kid anymore, so I progressed quickly in the gym and increased my knowledge of fitness daily.”   After one year of hard training, his weight jumped up by 26lbs and managed to maintain a low body fat percentage no higher than 5%. In total, after a sold years training, he built a lean physique of 196lbs. From that point onwards, Alex has become a highly recognized fitness model and bodybuilder. He continues to motivate and inspire people all over the world while working as a personal trainer.   In this episode of Barbell Shrugged, the guys take a loom inside the world of SHREDZ, the bodybuilding world, and supplement industry exposing what is real, fake, and really fake in the supplement industry.

We all go through times where we question what we are supposed to be doing with our lives. Sometimes the answer has been around for as long as we can remember. We just try to please others and ourselves at the same time. Think way back about what you first wanted to do... Think about how that one idea shaped the rest of your life... And now think about what you do right now... What’s changed? Are you happy?    Regardless of all that, I’m going to tell you some very personal stories that helped me along my path. Some of the details will honestly blow you away, maybe even make you cry, but it sure as hell is going to motivate you.    Let’s go!  ------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-ep102 ------------------------------------------------------------------ ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe
