Welcome back to the podcast and thank you for your patience as I have been away awhile. In this episode I dive into 4 (technically 5) quotes that have been impactful for me in the last 2 weeks. The quotes are
Complexity is the enemy of execution
Tell a lie big enough, long enough, loud enough, eventually people will believe you.
People dont experience life. They experience a life they focus on.
A man can only free his soul by exhausting his body.

In this episode of the podcast, I answer questions from my private community members and share my answers with you all. The questions answered are as follows:
1. "I think hearing your perspective on good habit building and bad habit breaking and more of a personal take on how you actively changed your habits over time. And the affect it’s had on you’re development throughout all aspects of your life."
2. " Fighting being a perfectionist about health and fitness. Avoiding the negative self talk/ not letting one mistake turn into two etc… shedding light on some of the unhealthy parts of fitness/nutrition… calorie counting obsession , body dismorphia, etc."
3. "The importance of having fitness be a life-long journey and not stressing over missing your protein for one day, or not hitting your steps one day won’t kill you.. on the flip side, when you don’t hit your protein, steps, or other big rocks, how to have the discipline to get back on track and maybe do more on the next day, not to make up, but get back in the groove."
4. "How goals play into your fitness journey. There's the aspect of building healthy habits just to live a better life. Then on the flipside, there's the aspect of working towards specific goals. I've always used goals to maintain & improve the habits, but curious on your thoughts of doing it just because it's the right thing to do."
5. "Tips for decision making without perfect information, learning how to “operate in the gray”. What steps did you go through when making the decision to leave your corporate job to take on HU full time? What to do if you find yourself having paralysis by analysis (consciously incompetent)"?

Welcome back to another episode of The HigherUp Podcast. In this episode, I share my thoughts on emotional decision making when it comes to being successful.
I believe making decisions based on emotions is a guaranteed way to never have what you want. Whether it be in fitness, finance, or business.
Successful people such as Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Alex Hormozi, Chris Bumstead, and any other elite performer you emulate all share this trait. They always do what they must. Not what they feel like.
What is your take on this? Let me know with a comment.

In this episode, I discuss 7 ways to guarantee a better nights sleep.
Sleep is something millions of people struggle with. And most people are not getting enough of it. It seems to be the first bucket we borrow from when life gets busy or stressful.
In reality, sleep is critical for fat loss, muscle gain, mental well-being, and just about every facet of our lives.

In today's episode I am joined by Jordan Parker. CEO and Owner of Optimize Minerals. Jordan left a great corporate job to pursue his dream of helping people take back control of their health the way he did; by utilizing holistic health practices to treat root causes rather than symptoms.
In this episode we dive deep into the science behind why minerals are critical for all facets of our health and why you definitely are not getting enough, even if your diet is nearly perfect.
We discuss how the soil is now depleted of minerals, and food does not carry the nutrient density it once did. As well as how minerals can impact our immunity, mental clarity, and even ADHD, depression, and anxiety,

Welcome to another episode of The HigherUp Podcast. In this episode I cover 5 beliefs I hold daily that completely changed my life for the better. They are as follows:
1. Physical health is a launching pad for success.
2. You can get anything you want out of life if you help enough people get what they want.
3. Some people do not have what they want in life simply because they do not ask for it.
4. Dulciusex asperis.
5. Go fast alone or go far together
Whether you want to build your physique, improve your physical health, make more money, or move up the corporate ladder, these principles enabled me to achieve all of those things and my life has been exponentially better since.
