SLP 120: The Key to Your Success Nov 14, 2022

Show notes

Creating success in life is a solo process. We cannot rely on someone else or something external to provide success for us because most of our habits, actions, and decisions (the components of our success) are the byproduct of our internal control. Success is also the result of what we do with our time: if we are scrolling on social media or actually being productive, we are going to have different perspectives on success.

In this episode of The Success Lift Podcast, Brian unpacks the concept of success and the many aspects of achieving success. Productivity, healthy habits, focus, and structure are all major components of success, but there's one thing that is even more important: taking action. We won't know how successful we can be in the long term if we don't take action in the short term, right? Tune in and learn more!

SLP 119: The Problem With Potential… Nov 07, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of The Success Lift Podcast, Brian reflects on potential and how we can all be the best version of ourselves if we push hard enough. Recalling some moments of his life when he decided to change for good, Brian encourages you to do the same: take a leap of faith, start your change today, and improve yourself now to see the results in all areas of life tomorrow.

Making a parallel with his own experiences and the opportunities he had in life, Brian talks about his son's potential and the great things coming for him shortly. The good thing about reflecting on our own choices is that we can better guide the next generation, highlighting their strong points and helping with their flaws. At the end of the day, we all have the potential to turn weaknesses into strengths. Tune in!

SLP 118: 1% of Your Day to Change Your Life Oct 31, 2022

Show notes

Getting 1% better every day is not an easy task. How can we measure getting 1% better in an analytical way so we can collect data and always improve? In this episode of The Success Lift Podcast, Brian explains to you how you can come up with easy ways to strengthen your routine and take a few moments during the 24 hours to do something that will deliver change in the future.

Brian also explains this idea of "compound interest". This term is the go-to of this podcast when it comes to pursuing goals the right way. If you have listened to the show for a while now, you probably have already heard of it, and it means: start small. All of your decisions, the new habits you want to implement, the new choices you want to make, and the better life you want to live, begin with small steps. There's no other way. Tune in!

Key Highlights

Structuring your calendar and organizing your routine is crucial to getting to the place you want to be. You won't get 1% better every day if you let the day happen to you instead of you happening to the day;
Brian does the math for you: if you take 15 minutes out of the 24 hours you have in a day to change your perspective and do something new, this alone is a huge investment;
Compound interest: starting small and gradually improving your health and fitness is the first step to creating long-lasting results.

SLP 117: Medicine of the Future with Joe Sheehey Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of The Success Lift Podcast, Brian has an honest conversation with Joe Sheehey. Joe is the founder and CEO of Cured Nutrition, a supplement company whose mission is to highlight the healing power of nature with exclusive products. The foundation of Cured and Joe's background are particularly connected. One of the lowest moments for Joe inspired him to follow this entrepreneurial path.

Joe unpacks these moments for us and talks about how the idea of building a business around functional nature-sourced supplements came to him. According to Joe, we live in a world where the narrative controls everything, and the narrative around cannabis and cannabis-related products has always been disruptive and very intimidating. This approach created an unfair stigma around cannabis and one of Joe's missions is to change this. Tune in!

Key Highlights

Joe shares a lot about his background: from his lowest moments when he was extremely depressive, to utilizing these circumstances to create something great;
Joe talks about how he started his entrepreneurial journey. He realized that he didn't need permission from someone to do what he wanted to do and quit his job;
The whole mission of Cured Nutrition is based on the core values the team has been following ever since its foundation: Nature, Responsibility, and Service;
Bodybuilding has been a huge part of Joe's life but the context around it has changed: what once helped him overcome depression, suddenly turned into a cause for anxiety due to steroid use.
Joe unpacks the details of Cured's portfolio of products, highlighting the proper use of cannabinoids, functional mushrooms, and adaptogens.

SLP 116: The Illusion of Choice Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

Make no mistake: in order to change your habits and live a healthier lifestyle there is only one decision to make and it's committing to your goals. All of the other daily micro decisions are the byproduct of this greater decision; they are all embedded in this macro choice, which is commitment. The decisions you make of getting up early, having a balanced meal, and going to the gym are all an illusion at a certain point.

In this episode of The Success Lift, Brian unpacks this idea for you. He explains that there's no negotiation with yourself: you are committed or you are not. The daily habits you need to follow to live a better life are part of the contract you signed when you chose to commit to your goals. There's no other way. And if you want to make only one choice instead of several other daily choices, choose to apply to the Elite Dad Jumpstart.

Key Highlights

There's no one right way to be motivated. The key is to reframe your mentality from: "I have to do this" to "I get to do this" or "I choose to do this";
Choosing to make good choices takes time, but once you start doing it over and over and over again, it becomes easier;
It's important to identify within yourself if you are interested or committed, and ask yourself this question: 'Am I willing to do the necessary things to achieve my goals?'
It can feel frightening to decide to take the leap and transform your life, but on the other side of this fear and anxiety, you will find the better version of yourself.

SLP 115: Beers & Financial Plans with Brian Carney Oct 10, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of The Success Lift Podcast, Brian welcomes his good friend Brian Carney to talk all things financial planning, saving money, podcasting, and creating simple solutions in life. Brian Carney is the co-founder of RiversEdge Advisors – a company that helps executives, entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders of all kinds to understand finances and find the right solutions when it comes to money.

Brian also shares a few of his struggles when it comes to avoiding drinking too much or drinking at all on the weekends. During the 5 day cycle of a workweek, it can be easy to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but understandably we all fall off track Saturday and Sunday. In addition, Brian talks about podcasting and his show "Happy Half Hour with an Entrepreneur". Tune in!

Key Highlights

Financial planning doesn't need to be complicated. We can all understand it, make it easier, and make it work for us;
It's not easy to save money and have good financial planning but these simple concepts are the reason our life moves forward;
Goals should be maintained during the weekend too. If we keep a balanced healthy lifestyle 7 days a week, we don't need to "get on track" for 5 days and "get off track" the other 2.

SLP 114: The 4th Quarter Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of The Success Lift Podcast, Brian shares a few easy and simple strategies to keep our goals in check in the next three months, through the end of this year. It's not uncommon to fall off track during the holidays: parties, barbecues, and friends' reunions tend to happen during this period. However, if we take our goals seriously when it comes to nutrition and fitness, we can balance it all.

Brian explains that it's important to enjoy your life, your family, and yourself during the holidays, but there are a few strategies you can follow to keep things "under control". On the other hand, it's important to remember that these 90 days can make a tremendous difference in what you're going to look like and feel like by 2023. Why not start right now by being the person you want to be in 3 months?

Key Highlights

What if you put a lot of effort in most of the days (not necessarily all of them) to achieve the things you want until the rest of the year?
The more we start to see results both physically and mentally, the more we want to keep going but it's important to remember that changes happen over time;
Brian's words: "You will fall to the level of your standards, you will not rise to your goals".

SLP 113: Lead from the Middle with Mike Salemi Sep 26, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of The Success Lift Podcast, Brian welcomes Mike Salemi. Mike is an entrepreneur and the host of The Path Podcast. He has a background in strength and conditioning and competed in powerlifting competitions for over 15 years. Nowadays, Mike offers retreats and special fitness programs where he mentors men of all ages who want to raise their capacity to do hard things.

Gaining clarity, fighting discomfort, improving mindset, and understanding the connection between mind, body & soul are all things that Mike's retreats provide. Mike also shares his methodology with fasting, explaining that is more than a physical improvement: he gets a spiritual result as well. Tune in to listen to the conversation!

Key Highlights

Mike talks about the feedback he gets from the participants that attend his retreats; the sense of community and support helps a lot of them to overcome their inner limitations;
Mike explains the importance of going through experiences – like his retreats – with intention and how you can break patterns and change habits afterward;
The experience of fatherhood has already been transforming Mike's vision and expectations;
Going through moments of discomfort is crucial to gain clarity and becoming stronger;
Investing in yourself, according to Mike, is truly what makes the difference in terms of performance, mindset improvement, and how you show up in life;
Mike talks about his experiences going through five days of fasting (once a year) and how this practice helps him physically and mentally.

SLP 112: Q&A – Supplements, Momentum & Commitment Sep 19, 2022

Show notes

In this special episode, Brian takes you through a Q&A from his Instagram. Learn all the things you need to know to start changing your body for good, how to create momentum to keep showing up for yourself day after day (even if you don't feel like it), and what are the most beneficial supplements to help you perform better, replenish your body, and overall feel healthier.

Brian highlights the major difference between being interested in something versus being committed. When we talk about fitness, changing body composition, or dieting, we need to be very clear on which one of those paths we will be following: the path of interest where you sort of want to change but life gets in the way and you eventually give up, or the path of commitment where you are all in and cannot wait to see the results derived from your effort.

Key Highlights

Once you decide to change for good, it's important to know that your body won't start changing immediately; it takes time and patience;
The weekend is probably the most important part of the week. It's when our levels of commitment need to match how badly we want the goals.

SLP 111: Pro Sales Athlete with Zach Rininger Sep 12, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, Brian welcomes Zach Rininger. Zack talks about different concepts and habits that make sense for him to follow a healthy lifestyle. Zach explains that, not only for him but for everyone seeking to have a healthier life, commitment is the key: we can only go to a certain point without fully committing. In terms of fitness, eventually, we need to decide if we are completely dedicated or merely interested.

At the same time, the knowledge to achieve fitness goals is also required. Zach speaks about the importance of knowing some things about calories, protein intake, macronutrients, and how to optimize diets. Everything we put inside our bodies has a level of energy associated with it and will impact our performance in some capacity. Changing our bodies for good, like it or not, requires some sacrifice. Tune in!

Key Highlights

Everything we do daily takes energy: we need to be prepared for a workout for example, but also for daily activities;
People keep avoiding investing in themselves for some reason when investing in ourselves should be the first thing on our priority list;
Commitment is the first step to achieving fitness goals and that includes sacrificing certain habits.
