What stood out to me most about Cody wasn’t just the adversity he’s faced — it was his willingness to talk openly about it.

We get into his childhood growing up with an abusive father struggling with addiction, how endurance sports became both an escape and a coping mechanism, and how years of unresolved trauma slowly built beneath the surface while he pushed harder and harder through life.

Cody shares how firefighting, lack of sleep, overtraining, alcohol, and constant stress eventually led him to a breaking point — and how stepping away from the job for 18 months ultimately became the beginning of rebuilding his life.

This conversation is really about post-traumatic growth.

Not just surviving hard things — but learning how to reframe them, learn from them, and use them to become a better human being.

We also dive deep into self-talk, vulnerability, the importance of reflection, and why many people mistake “pushing through” for actual resilience.

This one is raw, honest, and incredibly important.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Growing up with addiction, abuse, and unpredictability
• How childhood experiences shape coping mechanisms later in life
• Using endurance sports as both therapy and escape
• The connection between sleep deprivation, stress, and mental health
• Why overtraining can become destructive instead of healthy
• Firefighter culture, trauma exposure, and emotional suppression
• The slow build into depression and suicidal ideation
• Why many first responders don’t recognize they’re struggling
• How podcasts and vulnerable conversations helped Cody seek help
• The role of therapy, sleep, nutrition, and movement in recovery
• The power of reframing trauma and changing internal language
• PTSD as an “injury” instead of a permanent identity
• Why vulnerability is actually one of the hardest things you can do
• How reflection creates growth after hardship

Key Takeaways

• Resilience isn’t about avoiding struggle — it’s about learning from it
• You can’t heal while constantly running from yourself
• Sleep, nutrition, and movement are foundational to mental health
• The language you use shapes how you experience hardship
• Vulnerability creates connection, not weakness
• Reflection is where growth actually happens

One Question to Reflect On

Am I pushing through my struggles… or actually learning from them?

This conversation is a reminder that resilience isn’t about pretending you’re okay... it’s about having the courage to face what’s really going on and taking the next step forward anyway.

In this episode, I break down TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) and the 4 components that determine how many calories you burn each day:

• BMR (60–70%) – staying alive
• NEAT (15–30%) – daily movement
• EAT (5–10%) – exercise
• TEF (~10%) – digesting food

The big takeaway?

Your daily habits matter more than your workouts.

If you want better results:

• Move more throughout the day
• Lift weights to build muscle
• Eat enough protein
• Stop relying on workouts alone

Most people don’t walk around thinking they lack resilience—they just feel overwhelmed, stuck, reactive, or drained… and assume “life is hard.”

But often, it’s not just life—it’s how we’re responding to it.

Kevin breaks down 6 key signs of low resilience, with real-life examples you’ll likely recognize, and practical strategies to help you build it back.

🔑 What You’ll Learn:

• The difference between life being hard vs. lacking resilience
• 6 common patterns that signal low resilience
• Why fragility, rigidity, and avoidance keep people stuck
• How reactivity and victim mindset show up in everyday life
• Practical ways to build resilience through small, consistent actions

🧱 The 6 Signs:

1. Fragility – Small stress creates big reactions
2. Rigidity – “All or nothing” thinking
3. Breakdown – Accumulated stress leads to burnout
4. Avoidance – Escaping instead of addressing problems
5. Reactivity – Acting emotionally without pause
6. Victim Mindset – Believing you have no control

🛠️ Key Takeaways:

• Build capacity by doing hard things on purpose
• Stay flexible—something is always better than nothing
• Shorten your recovery time when things go off track
• Face problems earlier instead of letting them grow
• Create a pause between stimulus and response
• Focus on what you can control

🎯 Your Challenge:

Pick one of the six areas and focus on it this week.

Ask yourself:

👉 “How am I responding to stress—and how could I handle it better?”

Start small. That’s where resilience is built.

What stood out to me in this one is how Scott challenges a lot of the things we hear over and over again in the fire service — the phrases, the mindset, and the identity people attach to the job.

We talk about the balance between grit and softness, and why the best firefighters aren’t one or the other — they’re both. Scott breaks down what he calls a “dimmer switch,” not a light switch, where you adjust based on the situation instead of defaulting to one mode.

We also get into mentorship, culture, and the responsibility that comes with the job — not just to perform, but to think critically, take ownership, and continuously improve.

This episode is about perspective. It’s about questioning what you’ve been told, understanding why you do what you do, and showing up as a better human — not just a better firefighter.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Why you shouldn’t let anyone steal a day of your career
• The concept of grit vs softness — and why you need both
• The “dimmer switch” approach to performance and empathy
• Why blindly following advice can hold you back
• The importance of filtering information and thinking critically
• Why being a firefighter is a lifelong learning process
• The reality of burnout, mental health, and peer support
• Why “helping people” isn’t always what you think it is
• The danger of common phrases like “kid calls are the worst”
• How mindset shapes your experience on the job
• Why most “boring calls” are actually opportunities to improve
• The role of mentorship in shaping the next generation
• Why resilience doesn’t always feel like strength

One Question to Reflect On

Am I thinking for myself… or just repeating what I’ve been told?

This conversation is a reminder that resilience isn’t just about doing hard things —

it’s about understanding why you’re doing them in the first place.

“I’m getting old.”

Inspired by a 99-year-old man training in the gym five days a week, this episode dives into what resilience really looks like over time—and how your mindset about aging may be shaping your future more than you realize.

Drawing on research from Becca Levy, Kevin explores how the beliefs we hold about aging can directly impact our physical health, cognitive ability, and even lifespan.

Jesse has lived through high-stress environments, burnout, and the realities of a career where the stakes are as real as they get. But what stood out most in this conversation wasn’t just what he’s done — it’s how he’s chosen to live.

We get into his philosophy of “getting younger as you age”, and what that actually looks like in practice — from cutting out alcohol, dialing in nutrition, and building non-negotiables, to creating systems that allow him to show up with energy both at work and at home.

We also talk about burnout — what it feels like when your nervous system is completely drained, and how easy it is to miss until it hits hard. Jesse shares how he navigated that, and what he’s put in place to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

This episode is about ownership, intention, and the reality that most people don’t know how bad they feel… until they feel better.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Jesse’s philosophy: “Get younger as you age”
• Why energy is one of the most overlooked performance metrics
• The role of nutrition, sleep, and training in long-term resilience
• Why eliminating alcohol can be a game changer
• How burnout actually shows up — and why most people miss it
• The impact of nervous system overload and constant stress
• Why modern life is working against your focus and energy
• Social media, dopamine, and the “always on” culture
• The importance of silence, stillness, and creating space
• Mentorship, environment, and surrounding yourself with the right people
• Why most people say they want change — but don’t change their actions
• The difference between good and great in high-performance environments
• What real resilience looks like when things get hard

Key Takeaways

• Energy isn’t random — it’s built through daily habits
• Burnout doesn’t happen overnight — it builds quietly
• Most people are operating below their potential without realizing it
• Small, consistent changes will outperform extreme short-term effort
• Your environment and the people around you shape your standards
• Doing hard things on purpose makes everything else easier

One Question to Reflect On

Am I building a life that gives me energy… or one that slowly drains it?

This conversation is a reminder that resilience isn’t just about pushing through

it’s about building a life that allows you to keep showing up.

In a world designed to trigger instant reactions—through stress, notifications, and constant input—learning to pause and respond intentionally is a true superpower.

This episode breaks down how small, everyday moments shape your identity—and how mastering your response can change your relationships, habits, and overall direction in life.

🔑 What You’ll Learn:

• The key difference between reacting (automatic) and responding (intentional)
• Why the “pause” is where your power lives
• How this shows up in relationships, nutrition, workouts, work, and mindset
• Why longer exhales can calm your nervous system in stressful moments
• How better questions lead to better decisions
• How to identify and prepare for your personal triggers
• Why delaying your reaction can completely change the outcome

💬 Quote of the Episode:

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose.”

🧠 Practical Tools:

• Breathe: Use longer exhales to calm your body
• Ask better questions: Slow down your thinking
• Know your triggers: Prepare before they happen
• Delay your reaction: Time reduces emotional intensity

🎯 Your Challenge:

This week, catch one moment where you would normally react.

Pause.

Breathe.

Choose differently.

That’s how you build resilience—one decision at a time.

Brian shares the moment everything changed for him — not through motivation, but through shame. A moment at Disney World forced him to confront the reality of how he was living, and instead of running from it, he used it as a catalyst for change.

This episode challenges a lot of what people believe about weight loss, discipline, and motivation. It’s not about doing more, trying harder, or being perfect. It’s about slowing down, building systems, and learning how to work with your psychology instead of against it.

We also get into perfectionism, the “f*ck it” moment, and why so many people stay stuck in cycles of starting over.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still falling back into old habits — this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways

• Lasting change comes from systems, not motivation
• Perfection is the fastest path to failure
• Shame isn’t the enemy — avoiding it blindly is
• You don’t need to fix everything — you need to understand what’s driving it
• Progress comes from awareness, not punishment
• Slow, consistent change will always beat quick fixes

One Question to Reflect On

Is my desire for quick results being driven by progress… or by shame?

This conversation is a reminder that resilience isn’t about being perfect —

it’s about staying in it when things don’t go perfectly.

But what if that’s backward?

In this episode, Kevin explores why some people stay committed to fitness when life gets chaotic—while others fall off the moment conditions change. The difference isn’t willpower. It’s identity, interpretation, and adaptability.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• Why “brushing your teeth” is a weak analogy for fitness commitment
• The difference between habit and identity
• Why stress is not a stop sign—and what it actually signals
• How committed people train inside chaos instead of waiting for it to pass
• The role of systems vs motivation in long-term consistency
• Why short-term thinking creates fragility
• A simple question that reveals whether fitness is conditional or foundational

Quote from the Episode:

“The people who stay consistent didn’t avoid stress.

They learned how to train inside it.”

If you’ve ever felt like you “fell off” because life got busy, this episode reframes the entire conversation.

But what if you stopped carrying the weight of the world—and started working on what’s actually within your control?

Kevin breaks down the difference between awareness and action, and how redirecting your focus inward can lead to real change in your own life and community. From reclaiming energy to building a resilient mindset, this episode is a reminder that you can’t carry the world if you’re not carrying yourself.

🔑 In This Episode:

• The illusion of control and how media profits off your attention
• The power of redirecting energy inward to build resilience
• Why “staying in your lane” doesn’t mean ignoring the world
• How to create a ripple effect of impact starting in your own life
• A weekly challenge to take back your focus and peace of mind

🧠 Key Takeaway:

You don’t need to fix the world. You just need to start with your world.

✅ Your Challenge This Week:

Unfollow one rage-bait account.

Turn off one app.

Reinvest that time and energy into something that makes your life better today.

What starts as a discussion about living longer quickly turns into something deeper: what it actually means to live well.

Mark introduces the distinction between healthspan and sickspan, and why most of modern healthcare is focused on keeping people alive rather than keeping them capable. We talk about freedom, not in an abstract sense, but in the very real ability to move, think clearly, make choices, and live independently for as long as possible.

This episode is about responsibility, ownership, and the cost of waiting. It’s about why there’s no magic pill for longevity, why discipline beats motivation, and why the words you use every day shape the body you live in.

It’s also deeply human. Mark shares personal stories from law enforcement, loss, faith, and leadership, and how those experiences shaped his approach to medicine, resilience, and legacy.

Key Takeaways

• Longevity without quality is not the goal, function is
• Freedom comes from capability, not comfort
• Discipline is built through small, repeatable actions
• Words shape mindset, and mindset shapes behavior
• You don’t need to change everything, you need to start with one thing
• Waiting costs more than starting

One Question to Reflect On

If I don’t change anything, where does my health, and my freedom end up?

This conversation is a reminder that resilience isn’t built in extreme moments, it’s built in the choices you make every single day.

Not someday.

Not Monday.

Now.

But in this episode, Kevin flips that script. Because true progress isn’t just about weight—it's about energy, consistency, confidence, and how you feel in your own skin.

What You'll Learn:

✅ Why the scale is only one (very flawed) data point

✅ 5 better ways to measure your health and progress

✅ How identity shifts lead to real transformation

✅ What it means to become the kind of person who follows through

✅ A 3-question journal prompt to start the year strong

Reflection Challenge:

Take 5 minutes today and write down:

1. What are you proud of from 2025?
2. Who do you want to become in 2026?
3. How will you measure success without using the scale?

What starts with a lighthearted rant about coffee quickly turns into a powerful breakdown of why most New Year’s resolutions fail, why surface-level change never sticks, and why so many coaches burn out trying to have all the right answers.

At the center of this episode is a theme Mark and I keep coming back to: real change doesn’t come from answers — it comes from better questions, better words, and better breathing.

We explore why resolutions expire by February, how fear can actually be a useful signal for growth, and why asking how someone does something is far more effective than asking why. Along the way, Mark introduces what we ended up calling “the original sin of coaching” — the belief that a good coach must always have the right answer.

This episode is raw, honest, and practical. It’s a reminder that lasting progress — whether in coaching, business, health, or life — comes from slowing down, listening better, and letting people discover their own answers.

In This Episode, We Dive Into:

• Why New Year’s resolutions almost never work — and what to do instead
• The difference between resolutions and questions
• How fear can be a powerful tool when used correctly
• Why 90-day windows are more effective than yearly goals
• How language creates identity loops that keep people stuck
• Why coaches don’t need better answers — they need better questions
• The “original sin of coaching” and how it leads to burnout
• How breath control affects listening, presence, and decision-making
• Why observing thoughts is different than believing them
• What real coaching actually looks like when done well

Key Takeaways

• Change doesn’t happen at the resolution level — it happens at the word level.
• Asking how someone does something reveals patterns that why questions miss.
• Coaches who think they need all the answers stop listening.
• Questions pull people forward; answers push them away.
• Fear isn’t a stop sign — it’s often a compass.
• Real growth requires unlearning, not just learning more.

One Question to Sit With

What’s the one thing I need to stop doing to make this next year meaningful?

Not a goal.

Not a resolution.

Just a question worth living into.

Because here’s the truth:

• A few indulgent meals won’t ruin your progress.
• Missing a few workouts won’t derail your gains.
• And shame isn’t a strategy that creates lasting change.

“I drink to escape what I don’t want to deal with.”

Sound familiar?

Whether it’s wine, food, Netflix, social scrolling, or even overworking, many of us have coping mechanisms we reach for when emotions feel too big to handle. And yet—what we’re really reaching for is relief.

But here’s the truth:

Avoidance brings short-term relief, but long-term pain.

(Emotionally, mentally, sometimes even physically.)

🧭 In This Episode:

• Why numbing becomes the default for so many of us
• What it means to stay with a feeling—and why that’s powerful
• How to spot the moment between urge and action
• Tiny, actionable steps to build emotional regulation over time

If you’ve ever said, “I don’t know why I keep doing this,” this one’s for you.

Yes, your excuses are valid.

Yes, your life is full.

Yes, your schedule is tight.

But guess what? Your results don’t care.

We’re diving into the truth that many people avoid:

You can either build your life around your reasons, or build it around your results.

Kevin explores the difference between understanding your obstacles and using them as a crutch.

He shares how resilience isn't about being perfect—it's about showing up anyway.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever said:

• “I just don’t have time.”
• “I’m waiting until things calm down.”
• “It’s just not the right season.”

Spoiler: There is no perfect season. And your future self is depending on you to take action—even if it's messy, even if it's small, even if it’s not ideal.

🎯 In This Episode:

• Why your excuses feel real—but won’t move you forward
• How to reframe “life is hard right now” into “this is my training ground”
• Practical steps for building consistency, even in chaos
• A reminder that discomfort is a signal—not a stop sign

This week, I sat down with Dr. Darryl Stickel, one of the world’s leading experts on trust. He’s advised everyone from top CEOs to the Canadian military, and in this episode, he breaks down the art (and science) of trust—what it is, why it’s misunderstood, and how to build it in any relationship.

We talk about:

• Growing up in northern B.C. and surviving a traumatic brain injury
• The 10 levers of trust (yes, it’s a skill you can practice)
• How trust gets eroded—even when you think you’re doing the right thing
• Why small doses of vulnerability matter more than big, performative acts
• Trust in parenting, marriage, leadership, and community
• The hidden link between resilience and curiosity



This conversation hit deep. It’s not just for business leaders. It’s for anyone who’s ever struggled to rebuild trust—with others or with themselves.

Trust isn’t magic. It’s not even mysterious. It’s a set of actions you take consistently—and this episode shows you how.

If you live in a larger body, you’ve probably felt the pressure from both sides:

➡️ Criticized if you don’t lose weight

➡️ Judged if you do get help through medication

So today, we’re stripping away the shame, judgment, and noise—and getting to the truth.

What We Cover:

✔ Why fat loss is so difficult—and why it has nothing to do with willpower

Genetics, environment, physiology, and stigma all play major roles.

✔ Why taking medication isn’t “cheating” or “the easy way out”

Obesity is classified as a disease; medications are simply tools—no different than any other medical treatment.

✔ How GLP-1 drugs (like Ozempic and Mounjaro) actually work

We break it down in plain language: hormones, hunger signals, food noise, digestion, and how these meds help.

✔ The surprising health benefits—beyond weight loss

Including reduced cravings, improved blood sugar regulation, and potential cardiovascular and kidney benefits.

✔ What “healthy weight” really means

And why the scale, BMI, and clothing sizes miss the full picture.

✔ Seven evidence-based strategies to make medication more effective

From protein and strength training to fiber, healthy fats, and coaching support.

Key Message:

There is no moral value in how you pursue health.

Medication isn’t cheating.

Willpower isn’t a personality trait.

And your path is your own.

Whether you choose medication or not, you deserve support, compassion, and strategies that make long-term health possible.

“I know what to do… I just don’t do it.”

You meal prep, plan workouts, even hide the junk food — and still find yourself choosing the drive-thru or the bag of chips. Why?

In this episode, Kevin digs into the psychology behind the intention–action gap — the space between what we know and what we actually do. It’s not about willpower or discipline. It’s about emotion, identity, and the ways we try to self-soothe when life feels overwhelming.

You’ll learn:

• Why our brains chase comfort even when it works against our goals
• How “self-sabotage” is often self-protection in disguise
• The role identity plays in shaping consistent action
• 5 practical tools to close the gap between knowing and doing

Kevin also shares a powerful reminder:

“It’s not a food problem — it’s a soothing problem.”

If you’ve ever gone out of your way to make the “wrong” choice even when you know better, this episode will help you see the pattern with compassion — and start changing it from the inside out.

But this year… something special happened.

The Toronto Blue Jays made it all the way to Game 7 of the World Series — and for a moment, it felt like Canada was united again.

No one was talking about the time change.

No one was complaining online.

Everyone was talking about baseball. About belief. About hope.

Even though the Jays lost in extra innings, they fought like hell and never gave up. And in doing so, they gave us a front-row seat to what resilience really looks like.

In this episode, I share how their journey this season is a perfect example of the mindset of a resilient human — and how losing doesn’t have to mean failing.

You’ll hear:

• Why effort and belief matter more than outcome
• How failure can actually strengthen your resilience
• What it means to “lose well” — in sport, work, or life
• And why success is less about trophies and more about who you become along the way

Because sometimes, the most defining moments don’t happen in the wins — they happen in extra innings.

Nothing worked.

Until something did.

In this episode, Jeremy opens up about what it means to live both sides of the mental health system: as a first responder, and later, as someone desperately seeking healing. His turning point came in the most unlikely way—through medically supervised psychedelic therapy in Mexico. It wasn’t quick. It wasn’t easy. But it gave him his life back.

Now, he’s paying it forward through Project Life Spark, a Canadian non-profit helping other first responders get access to the same life-changing treatment.

We get into:

• Why hope is the most powerful drug
• How 18 years of conventional therapy barely scratched the surface
• What it’s really like going through Ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT
• How his wife’s quiet support changed everything
• The moment he knew he had to create something bigger than himself

Jeremy doesn’t just tell a story of recovery—he embodies what it means to be resilient. It’s about still being in the fight, even when you feel like you’ve lost. And sometimes, it means going way outside the box to find your spark again.

🔥 Challenge for Listeners:

What is one spark you’ve been ignoring that might change everything? Whether it’s a conversation, a new habit, or something unconventional, explore it this week. You never know what could come from it.

From the discomfort of being a beginner again, to the pressure of real-world simulations, to stepping into one of the most demanding training environments around—this episode isn’t just about firefighting. It’s about the universal process of growth, fear, failure, and showing up anyway.

You’ll hear:

• 🚒 What EMT and Fire School taught Kevin about responding under pressure
• 💥 Why resilience is about choosing discomfort on purpose
• 🧠 The power of beginner’s mindset and learning as an adult
• 🔥 Why waiting to feel “ready” often holds us back from our best growth
• ✅ A challenge to stretch yourself—even in small ways—this week

Whether you’re stepping into something new, considering a big change, or just need a reminder that you’re allowed to grow slowly—this one’s for you.

In this episode, we talk about what happens when life knocks you flat, and how healing doesn’t always look like sunshine and affirmations. Sometimes, it starts with cold water, long silences, and a decision to start over.

We get into:

-Why so many men feel disconnected, and what to do about it

-How nervous system regulation is the foundation for growth

-The power of storytelling, writing, and truth-telling

-Why healing happens best in nature, around fire, and in stillness

-The difference between surviving… and becoming whole again

This conversation hit me hard, and I think it’ll do the same for you. If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying too much, or not showing up the way you want to, this one’s worth your time.

🔥 Challenge for Listeners:

Write down one story you’ve been telling yourself, about who you are, or what you’ve done.

Then ask: Is it still true? Or is it just familiar?

Losing happens. It’s part of life. Sometimes you give it your all and still come up short and that’s not always within your control. But what is within your control is how you respond.

Kevin explores:

• 🎯 The difference between losing and being a loser
• 🤔 Why failure doesn’t have to define you (unless you let it)
• 💡 How to reframe failure as feedback, not identity
• 😄 A fun reminder not to take every loss so seriously
• ✅ A weekly challenge to turn your next “loss” into a launchpad

This episode will help you shift how you think about setbacks, build emotional resilience, and choose growth over self-judgment - every time.

We often think of discipline as sacrifice but what if it’s actually a form of self-respect? What if every time you choose the “harder” option now, you’re sparing your future self from disappointment, stagnation, and lost potential?

You’ll hear:

• ⚖️ Why discipline feels heavy in the moment but saves you from bigger burdens later
• ⏳ How regret builds slowly over time and how to spot its warning signs
• 💪 What people get wrong about discipline (hint: it’s not about punishment)
• 🔄 Why “I’ll start later” becomes the silent fuel for long-term frustration
• ✅ A weekly challenge to help you build self-trust through small, doable actions

Whether you’ve been struggling with consistency or waiting for the “perfect” time to start, this episode is your reminder: you get to choose your weight.

In this episode, we dive into how language shapes who you become, why “impact” evolves from teaching to being, and the subtle differences in how men and women approach mindset work—plus a fresh take on self-acceptance vs. growth.

We get into:

🧭 From corporate to coach: the “I quit today” moment and building a career with purpose

🧪 Teaching vs. coaching: the formula you learn vs. the wisdom you draw out

🗣️ Externalizing the “Billy story”: how saying the quiet part out loud sets you free

🔄 The upward spiral: catching doom loops with breath, slower reading, and better words

💃🧠 Men & women in mindset: why the mechanism’s the same but topics (and cycles) differ

🔔 Bonus curiosities: fascia, biofield tuning (tuning fork facials!), and an Edgar Cayce chat

This episode is a masterclass in language and identity—more than that, it’s a reminder that your stories aren’t set in stone. You can rewrite them… and yourself.

🔥 Challenge for Listeners:

Write down one “Billy story” line you catch in your head this week.

Read it slowly, breathe low and light, and rewrite it in clear, simple language that actually helps you move forward.

In this episode of Resilient Humans, Kevin breaks down a key belief at the heart of his coaching philosophy: great coaches aren’t gurus—they’re guides.

Gurus hand you strict plans and expect blind obedience. But real, lasting change comes from a collaborative process—one where you are the expert on your body, and your coach is there to guide, question, and support your growth.

You’ll learn:

• 🤔 Why being told exactly what to do might feel helpful—but often backfires long term
• 🧠 The power of coaching through questions instead of control
• 💡 Examples of the questions Kevin asks to help clients uncover their best solutions
• 🚫 Why a “just tell me what to eat” mindset can keep you stuck
• ✅ What to look for in a coach who helps you build confidence, awareness, and habits that actually stick

This episode is a reminder that your health journey shouldn’t be about outsourcing your power—it’s about building the skill to trust yourself.

In this episode, we dive deep into what happens when life stops you cold and how your words, breath, and mindset determine whether you crumble… or evolve.

Mark shares an intensely personal story about a recent life-altering experience that stopped him in his tracks. What followed was loss, reflection, and ultimately, a decision to move forward with more clarity, more presence, and a deeper commitment to his mission.

We get into:

• 🧠 Why breath is the foundation of resilience (and mindset work)
• 🔁 The difference between a revolution and an evolution
• 🗣 How a single sentence from childhood can shape your entire life
• ✍️ Why writing your thoughts is the first step toward change
• 🥊 The “original sin” of coaching—and how to avoid it
• 📖 What it means to teach with integrity, presence, and simplicity

This episode is a masterclass in mindset but more than that, it’s a reminder that you are not your thoughts… until you write them down.

🔥 Challenge for Listeners:

Pick one recurring thought or story you’ve been telling yourself.

Write it down. Reread it. Ask: Is this helping me evolve, or revolve?

If you’ve listened to me for a while, you know I’m all about telling the truth—even when it’s inconvenient. Because avoiding uncomfortable truths is exactly what keeps people stuck, spinning their wheels year after year, despite working hard and meaning well.

In this episode of Resilient Humans, I’m sharing eight inconvenient truths about fitness and nutrition—the ones that might sting a bit, but can absolutely change your results, and your life, if you’re willing to face them.

These aren’t textbook theories. They’re lessons I’ve learned from real people in the gym, my coaching practice, and my own life. And I’m bringing stories to show how these truths play out—and how facing them leads to real, lasting change.

Here’s what we cover:

✅ Alcohol is ruining your progress. You might think your couple glasses of wine a night aren’t a big deal—but those calories (and the impact on sleep and cravings) add up fast.

✅ You keep taking seasons off, so you never build momentum. There’s no “perfect time” of year to stay consistent. Progress happens when you keep showing up—even during busy seasons.

✅ Your workouts burn fewer calories than you think. Sorry, but that donut wipes out your treadmill session faster than you’d like. Fat loss happens mostly in the kitchen.

✅ Sleep matters more than your supplements. No greens powder or fat burner will fix what 5 hours of sleep destroys. Prioritize rest—it’s the ultimate recovery tool.

✅ Most people underestimate how much they eat. Those “little bites” and handfuls add up. Track honestly for a few days and you might be shocked.

✅ You definitely need more protein. Especially if you want to lose fat, preserve muscle, and stay full. Aim for 1-2 palm-sized portions at every meal.

✅ If you’re injured, you don’t have to completely stop exercising. There’s always something you can safely do to keep moving forward. That’s true resilience.

✅ Nobody’s coming to save you. Waiting for the perfect time won’t work. Your health is your responsibility—and that’s incredibly empowering.

These truths might feel inconvenient… but they’re the key to getting unstuck and finally making real progress.

If any of these hit home for you today, pick just one and take a small step in the right direction. Because resilience isn’t about being perfect—it’s about showing up, even when it’s hard.

In this episode, I sit down with Farran McKay—former engineer, sailing instructor, math teacher, and now a passionate CrossFit coach and mentor. Her mission? To support coaches and affiliate owners in building stronger, more sustainable gyms—and lives.

We talk about the real behind-the-scenes struggles of running an affiliate, why burnout hides in plain sight, and how connection—not correction—is the foundation of retention.

Whether you’re a head coach, a gym owner, or someone just trying to keep it all together, this conversation is a powerful reminder: you don’t have to do it alone.

🔑 What We Dive Into:

• Her CrossFit origin story (hint: it starts with a burpee challenge)
• The difference between a good coach and a truly impactful one
• Creating better member experiences (that go beyond “community”)
• What burnout looks like before it explodes
• Why retention starts with genuine connection

🔥 Challenge for Listeners:

No event-specific prep. No fancy spreadsheet. Just one simple reason:

Because he can.

Kevin shares how training consistently since 2006 has built more than just strength - it's built capability, confidence, and freedom.

You’ll hear about:

• 💪 Why consistency beats event-specific training
• 🔥 How a 2am fire call reveals true capability
• 🎯 The difference between looking fit and being ready
• ⚡ The real reason to train: freedom to say yes
• ✅ A weekly challenge to help you become more capable in your own life

This episode isn’t just about a trail run. It’s about building a life where you can say “yes” to adventure, challenge, and opportunity without hesitation.

Matt Bourque has lived both ends of the spectrum—grit and grind, joy and flow. In this episode, we talk about the dark stretch he went through after selling his gym during Covid, how he climbed out of the pit, and why the question he now wakes up with every morning is:

“How can we have fun today?”

Matt shares what it’s like to rebuild your identity, how movement became his medicine, and why dads (especially) need to stop leaving their potential on the table.

We dive into:

• Rebuilding after burnout
• Creating mini adventures with your kids
• Why doing hard things makes everything else easier
• Fun as a requirement, not a reward
• What your kids actually remember

This isn’t just a pep talk—it’s a wake-up call.

And it’s also a reminder that fun isn’t optional if you want to live a meaningful life.

I'm grateful. And I'm still fired up to live my life to the fullest.

Burnout is real - but it only occurs when you spend all your time doing things to you dread.

CrossFit, firefighting, podcasting, disc golf - I love all of these. They provide me with energy.

How can you fill your life with energy-promoting activities?

In this episode, I had the chance to sit down with Jeremy Strawn—Level 4 CrossFit Coach, Level 3 Enlifted Mindset Coach, and owner of Ralston Creek CrossFit. But more than the certifications (and he has a lot), Jeremy brings a deep level of curiosity, discipline, and vulnerability to everything he does.

We dive into:

• The difference between routine and discipline
• Why people start things but don’t finish them
• What he’s learned from doing 75 Hard—six times
• The power of slow walks, silence, and reflection
• Why curiosity is the real key to freedom
• How to reframe “failure” as a pathway to learning

This isn’t just a conversation about fitness—it’s about mindset, purpose, parenting, and choosing discomfort to grow.

🔥 Challenge for listeners: What’s something you started… but didn’t finish? Take a few minutes today and ask yourself why. Was it really a failure—or was it just the wrong goal?

In this episode of Resilient Humans, Kevin dives into a powerful distinction that most people miss: the difference between emotions and feelings—and how understanding that difference can unlock greater resilience, better self-control, and more intentional action in your life.

Drawing on insights from Emotional Intelligence 2.0, Kevin explains:

• 💭 What emotions really are: automatic, subconscious physical responses wired into your brain
• 🧠 What feelings are: your conscious interpretation of those emotions, shaped by language, beliefs, and past experiences
• 🔁 How this cycle works in daily life, from tough workouts to frustrating meetings to emotional conversations
• 🧰 Practical tools to build awareness, label what’s really going on, and respond instead of react
• 🧠 How Enlifted techniques like noticing soft talk, negations, and projections help shift your story—and your state

This episode isn’t just about theory—it’s about usable tools to help you pause, reflect, and choose more resilient actions in everyday moments.

Kevin wraps with a challenge:

📌 This week, when a strong emotion arises, pause. Ask yourself: “What story am I telling right now?” Then ask, “What’s actually true?”

The space between those questions is where your resilience lives.

In this episode of Resilient Humans, I sit down with Gabriel, a coach with over 20,000 hours of experience and a heart deeply rooted in service, faith, and resilience. From surviving a near-death experience at age nine to finding purpose after hitting rock bottom in 2010, Gabriel’s story is proof that leadership isn’t just about performance—it’s about becoming.

We explore what it means to lead with love, how transformational leadership is rooted in who you are (not what you do), and why traditional goal-setting often leads people to chase things that never fulfill them. If you’ve ever questioned your path or felt like you’re striving but not thriving, this episode is for you.

🔑 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The difference between transactional vs. transformational leadership
• Why leading with love means giving without expectation
• How goal-setting can go wrong—and how to realign it with your purpose
• The power of truth-telling and journaling as tools for clarity and healing
• Why we must shift from owning to stewarding our responsibilities

💬 Gabriel’s Definition of Resilience:

“Resilience is a process of consecration—giving away what you were never meant to carry alone.”

🎯 Challenge for Listeners:

This week, journal about one truth you’ve been afraid to speak out loud. Whether it’s fear, shame, or something you’ve been holding onto too long—write it down. Let it be seen. Healing starts with honesty.

🎧 Tune in now and learn what it really means to lead with love.

He breaks down the three simple habits that consistently lead to better health, more energy, and long-term results:

• ✅ Eating protein at most meals to stay full, support recovery, and fuel your metabolism
• ✅ Moving daily—not crushing workouts, just staying active and mobile
• ✅ Prioritizing sleep, because it impacts everything from cravings to mood to performance

You don’t need a complete life overhaul. Just start with one habit, one small shift. Kevin challenges you to pick one area to improve this week—and if you’re not sure where to start, he’s here to help.

Andy Campbell has lived through more than most of us could ever imagine—childhood abuse, a stage four pancreatic cancer diagnosis, and the unimaginable loss of his son to suicide. Yet, somehow, this man sits across from me with a calm strength, and a message so deeply human: persist.

Andy is the author of Overcoming: Life’s Toughest Setbacks, a book built from the very core beliefs that helped him survive it all—15 to be exact. In this conversation, he shares how these beliefs were forged through pain and reflection, and why resilience isn’t about pretending to be okay—it’s about facing the hard things and choosing to move forward anyway.

💬 “Always fall forward. If you get knocked flat, just get your head turned toward the direction you want to go. That’s all you need at first.”

This one’s heavy. But it’s also full of hope, perspective, and a kind of wisdom that only comes from walking through fire and coming out the other side with your heart still open.

🔑 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why Andy believes “no one outruns the universe”
• What it means to “fall forward” and how that small shift can keep you going
• How to process grief without being crushed by it
• The power of curiosity over dogma when it comes to healing and personal growth
• How alternative therapies like EMDR, guided imagery, fasting, and acupuncture helped him through cancer and grief
• Why being stubborn in the right way is a secret ingredient to survival



💡 Andy’s Definition of Resilience:

“Resilience is being wounded, broken, and still choosing not to quit.”

🎯 Challenge for Listeners:

What’s one area of your life where you feel knocked down or stuck?

This week, don’t worry about solving the whole problem. Just do one thing: get your mind facing the right direction. That’s it. Progress starts with a single shift.

🎧 Tune in now—and remember: don’t quit.

You’ve heard the quotes—“If you’re not moving forward, you’re falling behind.” But what if that mindset is actually burning us out?

Kevin explores the invisible cost of constantly optimizing—your workouts, your career, your sleep, even your downtime. Through personal stories (including one from his wife Joanna) and practical reflection, he reveals why true rest is so hard… and why it might be the most overlooked tool for building long-term strength.

You’ll learn:

• Why doing nothing often feels uncomfortable for high performers
• How our biology, culture, and identity all resist stillness
• Why rest isn’t the opposite of progress—but part of it
• How to recognize when you’re in “productive rest” vs real recovery

This one’s for the go-getters who don’t know how to sit still—and need to.

🎯 Takeaway: Rest isn’t weakness. It’s wisdom.

We dive into what it really means to build a resilient business, how to overcome the rookie mistakes most entrepreneurs make, and why your perfect day should guide every decision you make. Whether you’re a gym owner, coach, or small business dreamer, there’s gold in this conversation.

Taryn shares how personal health, clear messaging, and smart systems can shift you from burnout to balance. You’ll also learn why most businesses struggle not because of bad ideas—but because they’re talking to the wrong people (or talking to everyone).

🔑 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The power of curiosity and failure in building a strong business
• How to shift from working in your business to working on it
• Why most entrepreneurs are overworked and underpaid—and how to fix it

• How your personal growth directly fuels your business success

💡 Taryn’s Definition of Resilience:

“Your ability to continuously adapt.”

🎯 Challenge for Listeners:

What does your perfect day look like? Not someday—today. Write it out. What time do you wake up? Who are you with? Where do you live? What kind of work are you doing? Then ask yourself—are you building a life that gets you closer to it?

Kevin breaks down the concept of emotional contagion and why it's crucial to be intentional about the environments we choose — especially in places like the gym. He highlights how a strong, grounded community can either fuel our resilience or slowly chip away at it. Using examples from the CrossFit Moncton community, he shows how support, calm, and confidence are just as contagious as stress and self-doubt.

In this episode, I tackle four common fitness myths (that may be controversial) that might be holding you back and share actionable tips to improve your performance:

You Don’t Need to Workout 6-7 Days a Week

Overtraining doesn’t equal better results. By focusing on 3-4 well-structured workouts a week, combined with intensity and proper recovery, you can see greater progress without the risk of burnout or injury. Rest isn’t a luxury—it’s part of the program.

Open Gym Isn’t the Key to Success

You don’t need endless hours of Open Gym to improve. Structured, coach-led classes are designed to help you progress, especially when you prioritize technique and effort over volume. For targeted improvements, like mastering a movement, a personal training session is far more effective than going at it solo.

Nutrition Doesn’t Have to Be Perfect

Forget the all-or-nothing mindset. Consistency matters more than perfection. By sticking to one simple habit—like not eating after 7 PM—you can see significant results, as I did when I dropped 14 pounds in 30 days. Start small, be consistent, and watch your results build over time.

What You Do Outside the Gym Matters Just as Much

Training hard isn’t enough if you’re neglecting the basics: mobility, sleep, hydration, and stress management. Tight hips? Poor sleep? Chronic dehydration? These are performance killers. Focus on improving your lifestyle habits, and your results inside the gym will skyrocket.

Takeaway: Progress isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing better. Nail the fundamentals, stay consistent, and remember: fitness is a journey, not a race.

"This is the worst day ever"

Dramatic language, marked by extreme expressions like "never" or "always," simplifies life into rigid absolutes, stripping away subtlety and leading to unnecessary tension.

This episode delves into how such language shapes perception, inflates stress, and fosters emotional imbalance through catastrophizing and exaggeration.

We discuss the common words like "need" and "just" that amplify stakes or minimize positive intent, and how replacing them with more precise terms can bring clarity and ease.

Tune in for practical steps to temper dramatic language, fostering resilience, balanced communication, and authentic connection in a world brimming with overstated narratives.

I'm here to tell you the you can break free from the choice of laziness. You can choose to act, in any moment, to make a different choice.

The act doesn't have to be large. In fact, I'd argue that the smaller the act, the better, as you won't feel as overwhelmed to begin.

This show highlights the importance of action in overcoming the habit of laziness.

We all know there has to be differences between successful and unsuccessful people. But what are they? Is it innate? Or are there skills and practices we can all utilize to be more successful?

I give you 5 tangible differences:

1) Goals vs dreams

2) Simple vs complex solutions

3) Actions vs plans

4) Reasons vs excuses

5) Solid talk vs soft talk 

This show highlights the importance of mindset and action in achieving success.

I really enjoyed Todd's story about a men's trip he was on and how he started using some Enlifted tools with them out of the blue. They felt like he was messing with their minds (in a good way).

Todd's also been influencing the culture at his gym, CrossFit Angola, by describing workouts using different words. It's so cool that our words have great influence (abracadabra). And how they can positively change our output/performance.

Hope you enjoy this episode.

"Once you hit (insert age), your metabolism goes to sh*t"

I hate hearing that. Because it's a cop-out. Your metabolism isn't a light switch that just turns off. There are many factors why it slows down, and age is just part of it.

Do you know the leading cause of a slowing metabolism? Muscle mass.

Today's show, we dive into some fact and fiction about metabolism and what you can do to keep yours burning hot for as long as possible.

Today is Jason Turner! He created one of the only mental health treatment programs focused on our ancestral history of evolution, using physiology to support mental health and making experiential fitness a prescription for wellness.

Jason is a resilient human having made it through two near suicide attempts and addiction as well as the destruction of a stellar military career.

He now helps others at E-Motion Wellness using a unique process.

It was a very interesting and fascinating conversation. I hope you enjoy it.

There's a difference between needs and preferences. I've been on the receiving end of finding out the difference at many endurance events. And every time, it was a 'wonderful' learning opportunity.

We all love our comforts. I get it. And sometimes, it's nice to have those comforts stretched to build a little resiliency and adaptability.

After the show, I mentioned to Jason I had a podcast, and without hesitation, agreed to be a guest.

And here we are!

What a cool show. Jason talks about his journey to become a hypnotist and speaker. He doesn't just make people do funny things - he also uses his skills to help people make lasting change. One of the tools he uses is the MVP process:

“Anytime I'm put in a situation where my life is not going to align with my MVP process, my answer nine times out of ten is no. When you know who you are and what you want to do with your life, it's impossible to fail.”

So many awesome take-ways from this episode. If you're listening to this on June 24, please send Jason a happy birthday message!

Rachel gets a little emotional at the end when we start talking about her definition of resiliency and what it means to her. It's a very raw, real, and unedited clip.

Overthinking can be a habit that holds us back from taking action. I’m all about flipping the script and practicing under-thinking! It could be a decision, a task, or even letting go of unnecessary words or worries. 

Under Thinking + Low and Slow Breathing = The Magic 

Over Thinking + High and Tight Breathing = The Pucker

Found the video I mentioned in the show - https://vimeo.com/13674511

Growth rarely happens within our comfort zones. It's only when we push ourselves beyond what we think we're capable of that we discover our true potential. So, the next time you find yourself faced with something you hate, don't run from it – embrace it. Who knows? You might just surprise yourself with what you're capable of.

1) Understanding Your Goals:

Setting clear, achievable goals is the foundational step in optimizing your gym membership. Whether it's weight loss, muscle gain, endurance enhancement, or overall fitness improvement, defining these objectives enables tailored workout plans and motivates consistent effort.

2) Planning and Scheduling:

A structured plan is indispensable. Design a workout regimen aligned with your goals, incorporating diverse exercises targeting different muscle groups and aspects of fitness. Schedule these sessions realistically, accounting for other commitments, to ensure regularity and avoid burnout.

3) Consistency and Punctuality:

Consistency is the bedrock of progress. Showing up consistently and punctually is non-negotiable. Adhering to a routine cultivates discipline and ensures you make the most of every session, optimizing your time and effort.

4) Tracking Progress:

Documenting progress is crucial. Track your workouts, noting sets, reps, weights, and personal bests. Regularly reassess and adjust your routine to maintain challenge and avoid plateaus. Utilize fitness apps or journals to chart your journey, providing tangible evidence of improvement and motivation to push further.

5) Seeking Additional Support:

Sometimes, seeking extra guidance can be a game-changer. Consider investing in personal training sessions to fine-tune your workouts and receive personalized guidance. Additionally, consulting with a nutrition coach can complement your exercise regimen, optimizing dietary habits to fuel your fitness goals.

6) Practicing Proper Recovery:

A frequently overlooked aspect is recovery. Your body needs time to repair and grow stronger. Incorporate rest days into your schedule, prioritize sleep, hydrate adequately, and consider activities like stretching, yoga, or massages to aid recovery. Ignoring recovery can lead to fatigue, injuries, and hindered progress. 

Which one will you choose to help maximize your progress??

I sat down with Dennis Morolda and discussed what is being taught to our boys and how it's affecting our next generation of Men and what we can do to re-write their stories.

The origins of Building Men trace back to 2005 when Dennis Morolda, then a middle school assistant principal, identified the struggles that boys in his school encountered. 

In this power-packed hour, Dennis and I dive into:

• Confronting Masculine Stereotypes and Victimhood
• Resilience and the Art of Gentle Dialogue
• Rewriting Personal Narratives
• Overcoming Toxic Masculinity

Join the conversation and explore these crucial topics and pave the way toward empowering the young men of the world.

1) Knowledge. You have to have a basic understanding of how foods work. You should know how to cook food. How much water you need. You don’t need a university degree. But it’s important to have a good idea about food/nutrition. Just promise me you won’t get your knowledge from the magazine rack at the grocery store.

2) Preparation. I believe this one is the most important. You can have all the knowledge in the world, but if you don’t have your foods planned and prepared, you’re relying almost entirely on willpower to reach your goals. do you have a routine in place? If not, what can you do to start?

3) Accountability. This could be accountability to yourself (through a calendar or checklist). You could use a friend or family member for accountability. Or you might look into hiring a coach to help and guide you.

So which is your area for improvement? What do you need to do to move the needle?

As Mark says, most people can fix their shit with a pen. And you can do a tremendous amount of work on your mindset/story/identity by putting your thoughts down on paper. 

Mark gives an incredible example of a client that spent in the 6-digits for therapy, and after one session with him, was able to feel like she was in her body again. This is powerful shit! 

The main concept to get here is this: If you use the same words, you’ll tell yourself the same story. If you want a different story, you have to use different words. If you want a better story, you must use better words.

Imagine working hard at the gym, and eating well for a few months - yet when you step on the scale, it's not what you expected. That's the gap.

In this episode, I explain what the gap is and what we can do to close that gap. This is all based on Choice Theory, by Dr. William Glasser. If you really want to nerd out on it, I highly recommend his book.

And so can we.

We have an individual obligation to stay healthy and out of the hospital. There are too many beds being taken up by people with preventable, chronic diseases.

So I ask you, what can you do to help yourself? How can you stay healthy so you don't place a burden on the healthcare system?

It's not going to fix everything, but it certainly will help.

If you have a fixed mindset, you believe that your abilities and talents are set in stone. You're either good at something or you're not. This can lead to a feeling of helplessness, because if you're not naturally gifted at something, you may feel like there's no point in trying.

A growth mindset, on the other hand, means believing that your abilities can be developed through practice and effort. This allows you to approach challenges with a sense of optimism and confidence, knowing that you have the ability to improve.

Kaitie and I have a lengthy discussion about resiliency, belief systems, limiting words, awareness, and support systems.

This episode is jammed with tons of great information, and she leaves you with some homework.

For one, complaining can be contagious. Studies have shown that when people hear others complain, they are more likely to start complaining themselves. This can create a downward spiral of negativity that is hard to break out of.

In addition, complaining can also make you feel worse. When you focus on all the things that are wrong in your life, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and hopeless. This can lead to depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems.

BUT FEAR NOT! We are bringing some strategies that you can use to break the complaining cycle.

Cindy's story resonated with me because it reminds me that no matter how dark and difficult things might seem, there is always the possibility for new beginnings. Even if we fail, we can always start again.

I think the phoenix is a fitting metaphor for what Cindy has been through. She has faced some incredible challenges in her life, but she has never given up. She has always found a way to pick herself up and start again.

Cindy is an inspiration to me, and I know she will continue to be a source of strength and hope for many people. Thank you, Cindy, for sharing your story with us.

Here are four ways to help you respond instead of react:

- Breathe: Take a few deep breaths before you do or say anything. This will help you clear your head and make better decisions.

- Ask questions: When something happens that triggers an emotional response, ask yourself some questions before reacting. What is the situation? What are my options? What are the potential consequences of each option?

- Identify your triggers: Be aware of what situations that you may encounter ahead of time. How can you plan to respond to them when they arise?

-Using a mantra: Choose a phrase or word that you can repeat to yourself in times of stress. This will help you focus and make better decisions.

As always, my goal is to provide practical and useful advice that you can actually use. What strategies will you use to respond instead of react?

There are many different ways to eat a healthy diet. The best way to start is by eating more protein, fruits/vegetables, and healthy fats. These foods are packed with nutrients that your body needs to function properly.

Even if all of the above doesn't go well, there are a couple 'anchor habits' that you can to do that will still lead to progress: Eat slowly and to 80% full. Research shows that these two habits alone can help with weight loss, and improve overall health.

So, if you're looking to improve your health, start by focusing on your nutrition. Eat more protein, fruits/veggies, and healthy fats. And be sure to anchor your eating habits by eating slowly and to 80% full. These simple steps can make a big difference in your health.

Building physical resiliency is important because it helps you withstand stress and stay fit long into your later years. When your body is strong and resilient, you are better able to handle whatever life throws at you.

If you want to build physical resiliency, CrossFit is a great option. CrossFit uses functional movements to help people become stronger and more resilient. There is a community aspect to CrossFit as well, which can provide support and motivation.

We also touch on rucking, which requires very little to get started with. Just put some weight in a backpack and start walking! It's that easy.

It's Christmas time - pause!

I'm injured - pause!

Our life is not like a TV remote. When we push pause, it doesn't resume where we left off. We often slide back into old routines and habits, and lose any progress we previously made. Starting back is always harder.

In today's episode, Ingrid and I discuss the different reasons why people push pause on their health. And most importantly, solutions to prevent the pause button from being pushed in the first place!

But what exactly are excuses? And what's the difference between an excuse and a reason? Excuses are usually based on our emotions, while reasons are based on logic. For example, if you don't want to go to the gym because you're tired, that's an excuse. But if you can't go because you have to work late, that's a reason.

In today's episode, Ingrid and I discuss the top excuses we hear. And most importantly, how to overcome them!

My name is Kevin Wood. I’m really excited to start the journey of podcasting. Through my life experiences and coaching others, I feel I have a grasp on what resiliency looks and feels like. 

Resilience is not an innate attribute. It’s something that can be developed. I don't want you to to wish for life to be easier. I want you to work on yourself so that you can go through hard times more easily. 

This show will be a mix of interviewing resilient humans and giving advice on how to build resiliency in your daily life. The people being interviewed will hopefully provide some inspiration for you to develop yourself. I want to give you practical and actionable advice that you can use to help build up your suit of armour, so daily struggles and challenges will bounce off of you. 

I hope you’re excited for this weekly podcast. I know I am. Thank you for listening.
