026: Lee Hayward and How He Created the First Bodybuilding Website in the History of the Internet

It’s a much easier task of coaching and connecting with people when you’re sitting at the same side of the table and understand the challenges they’re going through.

Back in the days of printed map directions and those huge monitors, the internet wasn’t what we take for granted nowadays. Not only was the internet smaller scale, but people weren’t making livings off of it like they are now. To transform your passion into a career on the internet 15-20 years ago was unheard of, but the people who figured it out were pioneers, and that’s EXACTLY what today’s guest did. On this new episode, Dave and Chris interview the OG of online bodybuilding coaching, Lee Hayward. The three discuss the GOLDEN opportunity that Lee saw in those early days that radically transformed his life, the philosophy that’s allowed him to relate to his customers in a genuine way, and Lee’s ONE crucial piece of advice for STICKING to your journey, no matter what life throws your way.

In This Episode:

  • Before the days of YouTube and Google, finding bodybuilding information was few and far between. When Lee saw THIS approaching opportunity, he was able to be one of the PIONEERS of the internet, paving the way for what we now take for granted!
  • Even if you make the sale, that isn’t the end of the story. When people didn’t know how to navigate the online space, Lee found that going the EXTRA MILE for his first few customers was the difference between fading away and becoming a stepping stone for online commerce.
  • If you want to know Lee’s secret to CONSISTENTLY providing value to people online, his “sitting at the same side of the table” philosophy is EXACTLY how he’s been able to shift his focus while maintaining his passion throughout the decades.
  • For someone with so much bodybuilding experience who ALSO is an imperfect human being, listen to Lee explain his ONE TRIED AND TRUE piece of advice for making and SUSTAINING progress throughout your life.

024: How to double your energy by optimizing digestion with Wade Lightheart

Take a look at your digestion, folks. If you’re a younger person, it might not be something you really care about, but trust me, you’ll feel the difference.

Whether you’ve seen probiotics in the store or heard the term “leaky gut” before, what does it all mean? Is there a piece of health that we’ve been missing? Turns out, yes! In the past twenty years or so, more and more science has discovered the HUGE importance of caring for your gut bacteria. If you’re looking for new ways to improve your athletic performance AND quality of life, then this episode is for you! Dave sits down with retired bodybuilder and BiOptimizer, Wade Lightheart, to discuss why Wade sought a spiritual guide to figure out what he was missing in life, how he was able to SMASH a feat that EVERYONE said was “insane”, and the ONE thing that Wade learned to help him recover from gaining 40 pounds of “fat and water” and will help YOU get in the BEST shape of your life, no matter your age!

In This Episode:

  • Wade lives his DREAM life where and how he chooses, but it didn’t magically fall into his lap. By doing THIS every single day, Wade sees challenges as MUCH more than what they seem.
  • Even after doing everything that others said he “should” do in life, Wade still felt unfulfilled. Then, after following advice from a spiritual guide, Wade DEMOLISHED a goal that everyone thought was downright impossible.
  • How does a national champion bodybuilder go from tip-top shape to gaining 40 pounds in fat and water in three months? Wade learned the hard way that LIFELONG longevity comes from THIS approach to health, and it’s beyond anything that protein powder or a bicep curl can fix.

023: Who truly leads you?

When you adhere to a narrative that’s not yours, you’re not a freethinker; you’re led by other people until you figure out your self-leadership.

In light of the recent U.S. Capitol riots, people around the world have shared their interpretation of WHY the events happened. Whatever your politics may be, this episode is NOT about which policies are “correct” or blaming one side of the political aisle. Instead, we want to ask this simple but powerful question: Do you lead yourself, or does another person/idea lead you from the shadows? In this new episode, Dave and Chris dive deep into the issues of leadership, charisma, and much more. They cover what the riot revealed about PEOPLE (and not just politics), the HUGE lessons that we can learn from Trump REGARDLESS of his policies, and the TRUTH behind self-leadership and making ACTUAL progress as people and a country.

In This Episode:

  • The storming of the U.S. Capitol was an act of violence and deplorable in and of itself, but it reveals even more about THIS quality of people than just the country’s state of politics.
  • Why does it seem like different sides of the political aisle just can’t seem to understand the other side? Ultimately, it comes down to people neglecting this ONE quality in their life that would enable them to silence the noise and think for themselves, which would help people see more similarities than differences.
  • Even if you despise Trump as a person and policymaker, writing him off as a “crazy person” is too simplistic. Instead, by listening closely and absorbing THESE crucial lessons from him, we can use those forces for good and help more people think freely.
  • When the world feels like it’s burning to the ground and is in DESPERATE need of new leadership, what’s the solution? The go-to answer is often “help others”, but before you settle with that, you NEED to hear Dave explain WHY that answer misses a HUGE part of self-leadership, which usually ends up helping more people in the long run.

022: How to turn ideas into products

When you start thinking too much about perfectionism and thinking your idea for everyone, that’s when you’re gonna fail. But if you just focus on your specific market, that is the trail to success.

When your mind is overflowing with more ideas than you know what to do with, how do you sort through the noise to find the gems? Creativity is a free-flowing process that shouldn’t be restricted, but if you want to actually take action on those ideas, you need to establish a structure to transform thinking into doing. In this new episode, Dave and Chris discuss how implementing a daily structure empowered them to embrace their active minds AND be able to take action consistently. They cover practices that you can do at home RIGHT NOW to determine your long-term game plan, what EVERYONE needs in their life to determine if an idea they’re passionate about is actually good, and THREE questions that will help you see through the trap of perfectionism and LOVE action, no matter how imperfect.

In This Episode:

  • If you’re someone whose brain is almost constantly drumming up ideas, what do you do? First off, you’ll want to implement THESE simple at-home practices that will ENCOURAGE your creativity, not shun it. Then, you need to ask yourself THIS question to determine your longer-term strategy.
  • In the beginning of Chris’s career, he was often left feeling burnt out and not much to show for it. If you’ve experienced this too, then you NEED listen to Chris and Dave explain WHY this approach failed AND what they do now to only let the truly remarkable ideas float to the surface.
  • Let’s say that you have this awesome idea that you’re jazzed about. Does that mean it’s automatically a good one? Your passion for your idea is powerful, but if you want to be SURE that your idea will succeed, a little of THIS for every new idea will help others feel that passion, too.
  • Now that you’ve nailed down a genuinely good idea, what happens when perfectionism rears its ugly head? To avoid the internal doubts and actually take ACTION, ask yourself these THREE simple questions that will eliminate the unknowns, hone in your focus, and give you the confidence necessary to push forward.
