SLP 110: Push the Tarp with Tim McMahon Sep 05, 2022

Show notes

Tim McMahon is the author of 'Push the Tarp', a story about mindset work and authentic leadership. In this conversation, Brian and Tim talk about the writing process of the book and the life situations that inspired him to tell this story.

They also discuss the importance of having people in our lives that push us forward somehow. When we fear our decisions and our choices and we don't want to be seen as failures, it's fundamental to have someone to hold us accountable during these hard times. This idea can be applied to many areas of life: a new job, a coaching career, fitness, sports, and family.

Routines are also very important according to Tim: our routine needs to be created for our success. Work, meditation, creative moments… all of that should be implemented into our day so we can show up our best. Tune in to listen to the whole conversation!

SLP 108: Buy the Bonds Aug 22, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of The Success Lift Podcast, Brian talks about the concept of not waiting around for things to get bad to only then do something about it. Taking the leap today and changing habits today will only do wonders for you in the future. That's why it's so hard to change: we don't see results instantly… it takes time. But that's also the beauty of it, we need to trust and believe in the process.

Making a parallel with finances, Brian explains that paying for things that will not fulfill you months from now is not worth it. What are you spending your money on? What activities and habits are you focusing on? Your health is worth every penny so ask yourself this question: Are "healthy things" too expensive or is it just me who is spending money on things that make me unhealthy? Tune in to learn more!

Key Highlights

Changing things now is the key to being healthy and happy in the future. We might think that that's not the case but today's decisions impact tomorrow's results.

SLP 106: Ketones… NOT Keto with Michael Brandt Aug 08, 2022

Show notes

H.V.M.N. is a company that believes that everything you put into your body has an important role in your longevity, performance, and overall health. In this episode of The Success Lift Podcast, Brian welcomes Michael Brandt, co-Founder, and CEO of H.V.M.N. to discuss the benefits of ketones. A natural source of fuel for the body, ketones are known to create energy not only for the body but also for the brain.

Ketones can be measured in several ways, are a key biomarker of our health, and, according to research, can help with some diseases such as Alzheimer's. Tune in to learn more about ketones and H.V.M.N.'s mission.

Key Highlights

Ketones can – and should – be used in combination with some other important daily habits and also a nutritious diet;
Using ketones is a tool in the toolbox to optimize health: it creates energy within the body while consuming less oxygen;
Having a strong foundation in our health is a key step to living longer, feeling good, and performing better;
We shouldn't be focusing only on work all the time the same way we shouldn't be relaxing all the time – it's important to have balance in life;

SLP 105: Lessons from Montana Aug 01, 2022

Show notes

After a getaway with his wife, Brian has some advice for you. In this episode of The Success Lift Podcast, he speaks about the importance of taking a break from the business, the routine, and even from your kids, and just getting away for a while. With half of the year gone already, we should all reserve some time to reset, replenish and prepare for the rest of the year. This pause will only do good.

Brian shares what he has learned from his trip to Montana and some essential tips to implement once you are in trip mode. Enjoying nature, appreciating the little moments, disconnecting from social media, and adopting new habits are just a few of these tips. Daily obligations and busy routines can be very tiring – especially if you have to balance it all: a household, a job, parenthood, and fitness.

Key Highlights

Eating healthy while traveling is as important as it is when following a routine;
Nature is too beautiful not to be appreciated. Go out, take a walk, and watch the sun and the trees, even if you do it between tasks;
Connecting with like-minded people while traveling is a smart way to come back to the routine refreshed and with new ideas.

SLP 103: Your Actions Tell a Story with Mike Millner Jul 18, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of The Success Lift Podcast, Brian welcomes Mike Millner to talk all things mindset, fitness, healthy habits, and tracking goals without obsessing about it. Mike's content on social media – via Instagram, e-mail marketing, or podcasting – is the perfect combination of personal & physical development with the true concept of fitness. Today, Mike dives deep into this combination to give us the best tips.

Mike explains that in order to make progress with fitness, the routine doesn't necessarily need to be perfect. Rather than having a bulletproof plan, we need to focus on consistency, daily and easy-to-follow habits, and willpower. Throughout the conversation, Mike also talks about this idea of 'minimal effective dose', which means doing the basic and the little things that actually work in order to achieve goals.

Key Highlights

Mike is extremely result-driven, but when it comes to fitness he explains that we have to play the long game and be patient with goals;
No matter how bad the day goes, it's important to choose 1 to 3 things to accomplish regardless;
Don't obsess over data; drop the idea of tracking data just to feel good and instead track data that is actually important;
Once you define success, you define failure.
