#473: Former NFL Player Turned Men’s Performance Coach Keyen Lage on Mastering Intimate Relationships, Understanding Sexual Polarity and Building Deep Meaningful Friendships!

Keyen Lage is a former NFL Athlete who sustained a neck injury that effectively ended his career.    However, he managed to turn that into a positive and started on a new journey in his life. He decided to dedicate his life to helping others reach the pinnacle in their own lives through helping men master the art of becoming “world class” in whatever they pursue, along with mastering their intimate relationships.   Over the last seven years, working with thousands of men in helping them be as successful as possible in their career/intimate relationships, he realized most of the issues men face boil down to two things. A lack of knowledge or a lack of emotional alignment.  Here are some of the thing we talked about in today’s podcast:  How embracing  loneliness can lead to more self-belief and less need for external validation The psychology of dating multiple women  Sexual polarity and why you are attracted to certain types of people  What it really takes to become a “man” and how that determines the type of women you will attract  Finding people you can have deep and meaningful connections with  And more   (Website) Keyen Lage (Instagram) Keyen (@_thegenie) • Instagram photos and videos (LinkedIn) Keyen Lage - Emotional Intelligence Expert - Keyen Lage | LinkedIn (Facebook) Facebook

Gerry is the best-selling author of Awaken Your Power Within, a co-founder of soul space and a high performance and health coach.  His new book The Freedom Within presents us with the secrets of releasing untapped reservoirs of strength and calm to live with more confidence, ease and an incredible sense of inner peace in our lives.  His first appearance on the podcast episode 341: The Soul Coach Gerry Hussey on The Power Of Letting Go, Awakening Your Power Within and The Path To Your True Self was the most downloaded episode of 2021 so I highly recommend checking it out after this episode if you haven’t listened already.  We picked up right from where we left off on our first episode together. Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s podcast:    Chasing the feeling of being enough and how this leads us down a path of toxic people or destructive behaviors  Healing emotional wounds from the past and learning to integrate them so they don’t control you any longer  Why we can only operate out of a place of fear or love – never both. The “unlovable” core wound and working through it  Why learning to forgive yourself is the biggest gift you can ever give yourself The reason we have to face it to feel it to heal it and then we can move on And more.    Tickets to national concert hall https://www.nch.ie/Online/default.asp?BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::permalink=The-Freedom-Within-12Nov23&BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::context_id=   Awaken the freedom within book  https://www.easons.com/the-freedom-within-gerry-hussey-9781399727082?gclid=CjwKCAjwkY2qBhBDEiwAoQXK5SzpxT6c_J1Mdmslx9_sv8mJUKvd1ai9o1YwCBbrI-D4L8pijnCywxoCGq4QAvD_BwE   (Webpage) Soul Space - Change Your Thinking // Change Your World (LinkedIn) Gerry Hussey - Co-Founder | Integrative Health and Wellness Coach - Soul Space | LinkedIn (Instagram) Gerry Hussey - THE SOUL COACH (@gerry_hussey) • Instagram photos and videos @gerry_hussey (Twitter)  Gerry Hussey (@gerryhussey) / X (twitter.com) (Youtube) Soul Space - Miriam & Gerry Hussey - YouTube (Facebook) Facebook (Most recent Instagram post) Gerry Hussey - THE SOUL COACH (@gerry_hussey) • Instagram photos and videos

Dr. Grayson is a behavior change communications consultant who teaches about Public Health Communications in the Master of Public Health Program in the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont.  Her life changed in 2016 when she suddenly realized that she had been concealing a lifelong dependence on sugar and carbs beneath a web of denial (“It’s just a sweet tooth”) and rationalization (“I’ve been good so deserve a treat”).  After she taught herself to quit, she started helping others do the same by creating the program Breaking Free from Sugar, which has helped over 3,000 people successfully reduce how much sugar they eat. That program is shared in her book “The Sweet Tooth Dilemma”.

#446: My Kyrgyzstan Disaster: Getting Sick, Trying To Force Being Well and When Sh*t Just Happens! 

Today’s podcast is a solo episode.    As opposed to a recap podcast or even going through what happened in detail (as I sum that up in about 5 minutes) – I talk through some of the mindset elements I struggled with the most: expecting the unexpecting, just because something is difficult doesn’t make it valuable, not forcing things to happen etc   Hopefully there is a value here regardless of what stage of life you are in or the difficulties you may be currently going through.    Short written recap:  As some of you know, I flew out to Kyrgyzstan (beside China) to run 200km over five days up the Tian Shan mountain range. The plan was to hike for three days to acclimatize to the altitude and then run for 5 days up Tian Shan; but unfortunately, after picking up an infection in the capital Bishek, I only made basecamp 1 before I got hit with severe sickness.    Here’s the story about it and what I learnt from the experience.        Shownotes:  Quick links to all my programs, courses and books  https://briankeanefitness.com/quick-links/   BTU discount code: KEANE300

Paul Scanlon on The Art of Unlearning, Developing ‘Get Back Up’ Skills When Life Gets  Difficult and Why It’s Okay To Outgrow People (From The 2021 Archive) 

    This episode first aired on 3rd May 2021  Are you enjoying the podcast? Please leave a rating and a review.   Paul Scanlon has trained and mentored people for over 30 years as a keynote speaker all over  the world. After three decades in the not-for-profit sector, Paul has successfully transitioned and  reinvented himself as an educator through both his LIVE and online Masterclass events in  Communication, Leadership, and Personal Development.  Paul’s three strands of focus are: Communication, Leadership, and Human Flourishing. His  hallmark is making complex things simple. Paul passionately believes it’s more important to  grow people than things.  He believes that there’s greatness in everyone and knows that most need the help of a well- chosen coach or mentor to discover it.  He is also the host of the podcast Growing Big People with Paul Scanlon. This was a fantastic  conversation and one I am very grateful for having. Although Paul’s microphone quality isn’t as              high as other podcast guests, the value he speaks more than makes up for it. This was a mini  therapy session for me so I hope you get as much from it as I did.  Key Points  ∙One of the big traps people fall into, especially with the political and cultural climate  nowadays, is boxing themselves into a certain identity, or what Paul calls “labels”. By  labeling yourself solely by your sex, race, political affiliation, or religion, you adopt the  “ghetto mentality” and limit your potential to grow and connect with people around  you. Avoid imprisoning yourself in an echo chamber and open your mind to all that the  world offers.  ∙Social media has normalized our natural human tendencies to focus on the “highlight  reels” of those we admire. This has created a generation of people who lack “getting- back-up” skills. Paul encourages us to read stories of great people and pay attention  more to how they recover from setbacks than to the glitz and glamour of success that  only comes after endless trials and hardships.  ∙It’s so hard to let go of beliefs, habits, and behaviours that are no longer serving us  because 1) we don’t know what to replace it with, and 2) we often learn these things via  people we respect like our parents, and we fear upsetting that person by changing. It’s  okay to outgrow people. In fact, almost every new version of you that emerges involves  leaving someone behind.

Logan Ury on Dating, Attachment Styles, How To Break Up With Someone, Finding Love and How To Build A Relationship That Lasts! (From The 2021 Archive)

This episode first aired on 26th April 2021 Are you enjoying the podcast? Please leave a rating and a review. Logan is a behavioral scientist turned dating coach, and the author of How To Not Die Alone. As the Director of Relationship Science at the dating app Hinge, she leads a research team dedicated to helping people find love. After studying psychology at Harvard, she ran Google’s behavioral science team—the Irrational Lab. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, TIME. The Washington Post, GQ, Glamour, Vice, and on HBO and the BBC. Today’s podcast goes deep on all things dating and relationships. It’s a full-circle podcast from meeting someone to breakups and finding the one—we cover it all today. Also, I touch on some of my personal attachment styles and previous dating tendencies; so, today’s episode goes through some new topics not previously explored on the podcast. Key Points · Each of the three dating tendencies have to do with unrealistic expectations. The romanticizer has unrealistic expectations of relationships. The maximizer has unrealistic expectations of their partner. The hesitator has unrealistic expectations of themselves. Unrealistic expectations of any kind create huge problems because, even if things are going great, the person is never satisfied with what they have at present. · Our society has become obsessed with “the spark”: the idea of instant chemistry, that pang of connection; that feeling when you walk into a room and everything else fades and you can only focus on that person. Now, the spark is a wonderful thing; but you should not be selecting your long-term life partner based on it as it’s nothing more than a first impression. Instead, go for the slow burn and get to know the person beyond first impressions. · Becoming ready for marriage is a matter of the level of your intentionality. You have to exercise the same muscles that you do to strengthen your growth mindset and goal-orientedness and know how you want your future to look. With regard to marriage itself, ask yourself a series of questions, such as whether you see yourself with your partner in the long run and how you’ve both weathered conflict. Then, ask your partner questions such as how many kids you want to have, the religion you want to raise them on, and how you want to manage your finances.

Sex Therapist Emily Morse on Conversations Around Sex, Breaking Through Taboos, Masturbation and Discussing Sexual Fantasies With Your Partner! (From The 2021 Archive)

This episode first aired on 12th April 2021 Are you enjoying the podcast? Please leave a rating and a review. Emily Morse is a Doctor of Human Sexuality and the host of the longest-running sexual wellness podcast Sex with Emily. She is also the best-selling author of the book Hot Sex: Over 200 Things You Can Try Tonight. Emily has helped millions of people around the world navigate their sex lives. Her candid conversations challenge cultural taboos, misinformation and awkward sex talks to create a future where people can deeply connect and embrace pleasure-filled lives. Warning: This podcast is content of an adult nature. This is a very wide-ranging conversation around all things sex (for single people and those in relationships) but here are some of thing things we talked about in today’s podcast: Key Points · Pleasure is our birthright, and it goes beyond sex. We should be deliberately setting aside time everyday to go toward those things that give us pleasure. For one reason or another, there are times when we feel the need to stifle or numb pleasurable feelings. In the context of sex, this is one of the big reasons many topics have become taboo, and why many men and women find having these conversations with their partners very uncomfortable. · A lot of people believe that scheduling sex is the least sexy thing you can do because it just seems like another task instead of being spontaneous. But the whole point of scheduling sex is that everyone is so busy nowadays that everything is prioritized before sex. Before we know it, days, or even weeks, go by and nothing happens. By having sex scheduled, you incentivize yourself to prepare for it and make it worthwhile for both partners. · “When we heal ourselves sexually, we heal so many other parts of our life.” Many people look at sex as an “outlier”. Physical, mental, and spiritual health are all the rage now, and sexual health is like the “bastard child” of the wellness industry. On the extreme end, some people have experienced sexual assault. For most others, there is low self-esteem around one’s sex life. Once we come to terms with these “underlying roadblocks” to a healthy sex life—perhaps via therapy, other times by simply having open conversations with our partner about sex—other areas of our life improve, such as having boosts in our immune system, serotonin, and other feel-good hormones.

Underrated Fat Loss Tools, Having Difficult Conversations and Getting Over The Fear of Offending People with Paul Dermody! (From The 2021 Archive)

This episode first aired on 29th March 2021 Are you enjoying the podcast? Please leave a rating and a review. Today’s episode is a fly-on-the-wall conversation with one of my closest friends, Paul Dermody. We focused initially on nutrition and diet and then went in a different direction about halfway through the episode. If you enjoyed any of our previous conversations with a similar show structure, then this is not to be missed. Key Points · Many of us have a tendency to overestimate our nutritional knowledge. Paul encourages us to reflect on why we think about food the way we do, especially if we’re stuck in our health and fitness goals. Cultivate self-awareness around where you’re taking in your information and humble yourself to embrace the possibility that there may be gaps in your knowledge—and that some of that “knowledge” may be outright wrong. · Suffering comes from our belief that we can predict the behavior or thoughts of other people. It’s unproductive to rely only on the little voice inside your head, because more often than not, we tend to be our own worst critic and overrationalize situations when relying on our own assumptions. Don’t try to predict the intentions of other people. It’s almost always a fruitless endeavor. · It’s easy to get wrapped up in the idea that this one achievement or one event or one purchase will make you happy. What usually happens is, once those goals are reached, whatever high you experience always turns out to be temporary, and you’re off chasing the next goal. True happiness is found in the moment and counting all the small blessings that we tend to take for granted, and not in simply pining for targets that we may or may never hit.

Orla O’ Flaherty on Cortisol, Estrogen and Female Fat Loss, The Contraceptive Pill and Managing An Underactive or Overactive Thyroid! (From The 2021 Archive)

This episode first aired on 15th March 2021 Are you enjoying the podcast? Please leave a rating and a review. Orla O’ Flaherty is a herbalist, naturopath, and nutritionist who specialises in female health. She’s also one of my closest friends, and we go deep on hormones (for women and men) in today’s podcast. This one is worth saving for a couple of relistens as there are knowledge bombs left, right, and center in today’s episode. Brought to you in partnership with Lets Get Checked. To get 30% OFF your first time order, enter the code KEANE30 at checkout. Key Points · Most people know that what we put into our system has a direct effect on our health. That said, the general public has accepted as healthy certain foods that actually have negative effects on your body. Oats are a great source of carbohydrates, reduce anxiety, and promote sleep; but at the same time oats are proinflammatory because they contain what are known as phytates. Then there is soy, which contains phytoestrogens that may adversely affect hormones. Unless your soy is organic, non-GMO, and fermented, Orla advises keeping it out of your diet. · Before looking at how to boost your sex drive, the first thing to ask yourself is why your sex drive is low in the first place. For women, predominantly, there is an issue with their estrogen and testosterone—their estrogen levels may not be rising optimally, and their testosterone isn’t being activated. Women on the pill will automatically have a lower sex drive. For men, especially those over 45, low sex drive is usually due to low testosterone levels. Men under 45 with low sex drive, on the other hand, may be experiencing psychological issues. · Stress is not only one of the biggest culprits when it comes to fertility issues, but it makes the sex act itself robotic. “My first thing is to get women to stop trying,” says Orla. In addition, beware “The Two-Week Wait” following ovulation when a woman waits to see whether they are pregnant. Those two weeks may turn into two months or two years, which only serves to compound their stress levels.

Tim Spector on The Diet Myth, Your Gut and Why Almost Everything We’ve Been Told about Food is Wrong! (From The 2021 Archive)

This episode first aired on 1st March 2021 Are you enjoying the podcast? Please leave a rating and a review. Tim Spector is a Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at King’s College London. He has won several academic awards and published over 700 academic papers, a large proportion of which relate directly to nutrition and the causes of obesity. Since 2011 he has been leading the largest microbiome project in the UK, using genetic sequencing to study the bacteria in the guts of 5,000 twins. He is the lead investigator for BRITISH GUT, the UK’s largest open-source science project to understand the microbial diversity of the human gut. He is a prolific writer with several popular science and diet books, the most recent of which will be the focus of today’s conversation. That book is called Spoon-Fed: Why Almost Everything We’ve Been Told about Food is Wrong. If you’ve never questioned the conventional “wisdom” when it comes to the food choices you make, or you just geek out on nutrition and anything to do with the gut (like me), then this is a must-listen. Key Points Personalized nutrition is the way to go. As Tim explains, mainstream consensus on proper caloric intake, macro ratio, and the like are basing numbers off of a mythical ideal human being. Women needing 2000 calories per day and men needing 2500 per day is based on very crude averages that ignore all the latest science about how our body uses different foods differently even if they have the same calories. If you want to improve your gut health, the main focus should be on increasing the diversity of species. There is no one probiotic that will optimize gut health. You need more strains to produce a wider range of chemicals. People who, every week, avoid ultra-processed foods and eat 30 different types of plants, nuts, seeds, and herbs that are high in polyphenols have the most diversity in their microbiome. They also don’t snack to rest their microbes. We’re all unique in how we process different kinds of foods. There is no one-size-fits-all nutrition plan. You need to experiment with different foods and portion sizes to see what your body and brain best respond to. All the while, always look after your gut microbes. Gut health is an incredibly underrated factor in human wellness. If you make it a point to maintain a diverse microbiome, your overall health will skyrocket.

Q+A Best Macro Split for Weight Loss, Running Recovery, The Problem with Black/White or Good/Bad Food Choices, How I Read/Choose Books and Break Up Advice! (From The 2021  Archive) 

    This episode first aired on 15th February 2021  Are you enjoying the podcast? Please leave a rating and a review.   Today’s podcast is a Solo Q+A answering questions sent in from the question box on my Instagram page.     Key Points  If you think about a pyramid of prioritization when it comes to weight loss, caloric intake is the bottom of the pyramid, because for 99% of people, the name of the game is calories in versus calories out. Building upon that is your macro split, which will determine how you feel and, to an extent, how you look. Broadly, carbohydrates give you energy, protein repairs your muscles if you’re working out, and fat balances your hormone levels.  Tailor your caloric intake and macro split to your specific fitness goals, as well as to your particular lifestyle and to how your body and mind respond to different types of food. Just one example Brian gives is to avoid eating carbs at night if you’ve already hit your calorie limit for the day, but  you may do so if carbs happen to help you sleep better—just eat fewer calories  the next day. High carb/low fat or low carb/high fat—pick the split that works for you.  To avoid disordered eating behaviours, discover your unsupportive beliefs about food. For  instance, there is no such thing as “good” and “bad” foods; just foods with different calorie and  nutrient values that you eat according to your health and fitness goals. For folks in the U.K., it  will also help to dispense with the common “clear your plate” maxim that most people are  taught as a child. Unlearn whatever you need to, and take emotion out of eating.

Chris Williamson on Getting Over The Fear of Criticism, Making Sure Your Friends DON’T Suck  and The “I’ll Be Happy When” Fallacy! (From The 2021 Archive)

    This Episode first aired on 25th January 2021.   Are you enjoying the podcast? Please leave a rating and a review.   Chris is the host of the Modern Wisdom podcast, owns an events company in the UK and is a life coach who specialises in helping people to get more out of life.  His platforms talk about how to live a good life, finding your purpose, maximising human  performance, productivity, fitness and psychology.  His passion lies in learning about himself and the world around him. Today’s episode was a very  enjoyable conversation that focuses heavy on the mindset side of things.  Key Points  Finding your purpose, quite obviously, is not an overnight process. Many find it elusive and  don’t even know where to start. Chris gives us the very first step in uncovering your purpose,  and that’s by asking yourself: “Do I look forward to getting out of bed every morning?” If not,  you’re probably heading in the wrong direction. Seek out other voices, whether in  podcast/video form (i.e. Jordan Peterson) or face-to-face support. Once you can easily answer  the question, “What do I want to want?” (writing down your ideal life is an excellent practice),  you’re on your way.  When it comes to choosing your circle of friends, given the choice between honesty and  acceptability, you need to choose honesty. As social creatures, we naturally desire to be  accepted in our group, even if we have to put on a persona—or at least restrict what we say or  who we are—just to maintain our place in the circle. As quickly as possible, find a way to cut out  those “friends” that make your life actively worse and find new ones with whom you can truly  be yourself so that you get empowered to become the person you really desire to be.  Don’t focus solely on the goals you want to achieve because most people will burn out or lose  interest along the way, especially if it’s a long-term goal. Instead, set a goal and define it well,  then immediately put your energy into the day-to-day, week-to-week process that will get you  to that goal. “Your outcomes in life,” says Chris, “are a lagging measure of your daily habits.”  This applies to every aspect of life, from fitness to finances to education. Detach your sense of  being from the achievement of the goal and find fulfilment in the journey.

FROM THE VAULT: 6 Moments That Changed My Life Forever and How to Spot Them In Your Own Life (Solo Mindset) 

  This episode first aired 28 December 2020   14 Days Of Fat Loss Free Guide   https://briankeanefitness.com/quick-links/                Today’s episode is a press-record-and-talk-solo mindset podcast.  2020 has been a crazy year, but there are always nuggets of gold to be found even in the  unlikeliest of places. Today’s podcast is a reflection on some of the biggest moments that  changed my life (for the better) and how to keep your eyes open for the opportunities that are  bound to present themselves as this year draws to a close.  Brain tattoo for 2021  “When you stop chasing the wrong things, you give the right things an opportunity to catch up.”  Here are six moments that changed my life forever  ∙ My first day of teaching and realising my ladder was against the wrong wall ∙ The first fitness model show and the confidence it gave me—I finally set a goal and didn’t let fear stop me from doing it.  ∙ Who will cry when you die—the boat experience from the Breakthrough retreat  ∙ My daughter being born—my priority shift and getting clearer on what is really  important to me  ∙ The Sahara and the questioning of my own self-limiting beliefs  ∙ The Arctic and my association with pain: How to become the oak tree in the storm and the strongest person at your parents or loved ones' funeral  Key Points  ∙Get clear on the goal you’re shooting for and keep making sure along the way that it’s  truly the goal you want. Unfortunately, even the keenest of us only realize much later on  that the relationship we’re in is toxic, or that the career ladder we’re on is leaning  against the wrong wall. From fear disguised as practicality to worrying about what others  think about us, there are a myriad of reasons why we fail to see that we’re walking down  the wrong path. The first step is to detach yourself emotionally from the situation you’re  in, then shuttle that emotional energy into the alternative that is more in line with what  you desire. Then, it’s all about taking small action steps to get there. It takes a ton of  discipline and patience, but  you’ll find a way if it's your goal.  ∙When feeling fearful about anything, anchor a time in the past where you also felt fear              yet did whatever you were supposed to do anyway (even better if it was a similar type of fear to the one you’re feeling now). Set small goals for yourself that you can visualize as adding legs to a table. Just like working out, this “progressive overload” approach builds up your pain tolerance for the activity you’re doing. To use the old cliché, if you’re frozen in fear at the prospect of eating that giant elephant, go for one small bite at a time.  You’ll be shocked down the road at how much you’ve already conquered.  ∙Success is rarely a consistent upward slope. If you find yourself falling backwards after making some progress, don’t despair. We all go through it. Simply take the rut you found  yourself in as an opportunity to troubleshoot what has been exposed as a weakness.  This is the key: to realize that, as human beings, we need constant moments of recalibration as we grow. As long as you catch yourself falling behind and course correct going forward, you’re on the right track.    Be an oak tree in the storm and just move forward with clarity and purpose.

FROM THE VAULT: Training Deep Dive – Gym and Home Workouts, Bodyweight vs. Weights, HIIT or LISS Cardio and How to Design your Own Program! 

    This episode first aired 21 December 2020   14 Days Of Fat Loss Free Guide   https://briankeanefitness.com/quick-links/    Today’s solo podcast is a training deep dive.  It goes through everything you need to know when it comes to training, cardio and creating your own workout program.    If you struggle with the training side of weight or fat loss and body composition, then this episode is not to be missed.  This is a companion piece to podcast 291 Nutrition Deep Dive. Together they will give you everything you need to create your own diet and training program based on your goals.    Episode Outline      ∙ Getting clear on the goal and different training styles that complement them  ∙Training for body composition–what I do in BKF online program: hypertrophy, Circuits,  HIIT or finishers  ∙ Push, pull, legs vs full body vs upper lower training splits. The pros and cons of each  ∙ NEAT and why you don’t need exercise to lose weight  ∙ HIIT or LISS cardio pros and cons  ∙ The benefits of a gym and getting over gym anxiety (what to do, what I advise and what  I do in programs)  ∙ Experimenting with various training styles to see what you enjoy the most  ∙ How to design your own training programs–exercise choice, reps, sets, rest, tempo  ∙ Following an influencer program vs creating your own vs working with a coach  Key Points  ∙When it comes to your training, very similar to nutrition, you can’t hit a target you can’t  see; so get clear on the goal from the front-end, and then you can apply the different  training styles on the back-end. In a way, making sure you hit a particular fitness goal  requires you to work backwards to make the process easier to swallow. You’re essentially  building a structure from the ground-up, the foundation of that structure being your  end-goal. The amount and type of cardio, weight training, and other routines you need  to incorporate depend upon having the correct foundation and knowing how to build  upon it.  ∙There is no “best” training or nutrition program out there. The right workout and diet  plan for you depend entirely on your preferences, lifestyle, and specific goals. It begins  with getting clear on the nutritional plan that is sustainable for you. From there, you  create a training regimen around it that accomplishes the fitness goal you’re after while  being conducive to the type of exercises that your body responds best to, your schedule,  and other lifestyle considerations.  ∙Perhaps just as important as finding the right style of training that works for you, is  sticking with training that you enjoy. Sometimes it comes at the expense of certain goals.  For example, Brian loves weight training even if it’s counterproductive to performing at  his best as an endurance athlete. But he enjoys it, so he’s willing to sacrifice his goal of being the best runner. There is no right or wrong choice.   The only question is:  Which goal do you want bad enough?

#433: Shona Vertue on Why Your Body Is A Temple, Not A Gym, The Importance Of Checking In With Yourself and How You Need To Use Fitness To Enhance Your Experience Of Life, Not Dominate It!

Shona is a personal trainer and yoga teacher with over 420k followers on Instagram and one of the most popular yoga channels in the UK on YouTube.  Shona's method, developed during her decade of teaching, combines weighted resistance training and cardio with her life-long passions - yoga and meditation – placing just as much importance on rest and recovery as hours in the gym in the pursuit of fitness. We got through so much in this episode and it's definitely one I will be going back over; so I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it.  Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s show:    What got her into health and fitness whilst growing up in Australia How she moved from a 1:1 training into social media and the UK culture and weather shock Why your body is a temple, not a gym and the importance of using fitness to enhance your experience of life, not dominate it.  How over-identifying with your body can lead you down a path of unhappiness that will catch up with you when you’re injured, aged, or ill. The reason fitness should never come at the cost of health.  How fitness is a celebration of what your body can do and an opportunity to push it into adaptation, another amazing feature of this human life. It’s not about repenting for perceived dietary or lifestyle sins. Using science to guide but not override what you’re feeling. Let the magic ten guide your next steps.  And much more..    (LINKS) https://shonavertue.com   (YOUTUBE) Shona Vertue - YouTube (TWITTER) Shona Vertue (@ShonaVertue) / Twitter (INSTAGRAM) Shona Vertue (@shona_vertue) | Instagram (FACEBOOK) Shona Vertue | Facebook (BOOK) The Vertue Method: A stronger, fitter, healthier you – in 28 days: Vertue, Shona: 9781473653344: Amazon.com: Books

FROM THE VAULT: Mabel Katz on Self-Sabotage, Dealing with Negative Thoughts and Getting Back To Zero Frequency! 

          This episode first aired 30 November 2020   14 Days Of Fat Loss Free Guide   https://briankeanefitness.com/quick-links/    In this episode, Brian speaks with Mabel Katz, a speaker, author, and seminar leader who is internationally acclaimed and recognized as the main authority on Ho’oponopono, an ancient  Hawaiian art to obtain greater clarity in order to better achieve objectives to live and work effectively.    Mabel is the world’s number one Hispanic speaker, with over 200,000 subscribers on YouTube, more than 783,000 followers on Facebook, and more than 122,000 followers on Instagram.  Her ability to radically change people’s lives through her system of getting them back to Zero Frequency has garnered this global adulation.  Zero Frequency is the state of erasing all of the self-sabotaging beliefs, memories, negative thoughts, worries and dissonant emotions that interfere with living from the state of complete presence, total inspiration and peace.  Mabel has brought her formula to the world in her new book Zero Frequency®, The Easiest Way  to Peace, Happiness and Abundance which we dive into during today’s podcast.  Listen is as Mabel discusses how to overcome fear and do it anyway, the link between  expectations and unhappiness, why accepting yourself is the key to disconnecting with the  opinions of others, why you need to forgive others if you want to find true peace, why thinking  is an addiction and the power of being present, and getting yourself back to the baseline of zero  frequency.  Episode outline  ∙ Mabel’s background and what brought her down her current path  ∙What is “zero frequency”?  ∙Why we all have that voice in our heads that tells us we’re not good enough  ∙ Fighting past fear to do it anyway  ∙ Bringing our subconscious programming to the forefront                ∙ Letting go of expectations  ∙ Changing the trajectory of your life today by accepting yourself and listening to your  heart  ∙ The most common way people self-sabotage  ∙ Why we struggle to forgive  ∙ Freeing ourselves from the comparison trap  ∙ Practicing abundance  Key points  ∙The idea behind zero frequency is to avoid reacting to whatever challenges life throws at  you. You will always have problems. That is what life is all about. We are here to learn  and become better people. The problem is not the problem itself, but your reaction to  the problem. As human beings, it is okay to be bothered, but by going right back to the  baseline of zero frequency right away, we can nip negativity in the bud. With zero  frequency, we can examine any event objectively through a neutral lens that allows us to  shed any semblance of victim mentality and proceed in a proactive manner.  ∙Zero frequency is about living a more conscious life and understanding what is in the  moment, right now. Whenever you experience fear, realize that these emotions are  being triggered by past events that may or may not have anything to do with what is  happening right now. However you decide to act, the very first thing to do is to not allow  your subconscious to dictate your next step for you, and take back control.  ∙The only place you can find true freedom, happiness, and peace is within yourself. Do  not depend on anything or anybody else to be happy. By being at peace with yourself,  you become a magnet for those opportunities that are perfect for you. We have the  power within ourselves to manifest whatever is truly important to us, so we do ourselves  a disservice to look for that power in other things or other people. Make the decision  today to accept yourself, no matter your perception of your present circumstances. Your  life will instantly transform for the better.

FROM THE VAULT: Nutritionist Isa Robinson on Food Addiction, Managing Disordered Eating and The Problem with Diet Culture! 

  This episode first aired on 09 November 2020   14 Days Of Fat Loss Free Guide   https://briankeanefitness.com/quick-links/    In this episode, Brian speaks with Isabella Robinson, a Registered Associate Nutritionist (ANutr), certified Intuitive eating counsellor and qualified Nutritional Therapist (BANT, CNHC) with a special interest in disordered eating, food anxieties, body image and nutrition for mental health.    Listen as Isabella dives deep into managing disordered eating, the problem with diet culture, and handling food addiction. Episode Outline  ∙ Isabella’s journey as a nutritionist  ∙ A common misconception about sugar  ∙ Where misconceptions come from  ∙ Eliminating “diet mentality”  ∙ Helping a client who claims to have a certain food “addiction” (i.e. chocolate)  ∙ Isabella’s thoughts on intuitive eating and common myths around it  ∙ Confusing hunger with other emotions or physical sensations                ∙ Factors that lead to eating disorders  ∙ What Isabella is most excited about right now  ∙Beware of headlines. The food industry profits off of misinformation and misconceptions  that many people today have around nutrition. It helps greatly to double-check certainly  modern beliefs about food: Are all calories created equal? Is a potato  just  sugar? If you have specific health or fitness goals, it’s best to consult with a nutritionist.  ∙Beware of diet mentality. A lot of people may not be on a labelled diet, but they do  adopt the mindset of a dieter. It’s important to be aware of the psychology behind  certain beliefs or punishments that rule your interactions with food. For instance, having  “a little extra” because you ate a slice of cake and “ruined” the day is one of the biggest  sabotagers in one’s path to living a consistently healthier lifestyle. Having “addictions” to  certain foods like chocolate warrant a closer look as well: Perhaps you’re just placing  chocolate on a pedestal because you’ve put it on the “forbidden list”? The common  thread between all of these thoughts is a tendency to blame ourselves as helpless when  it comes to eating healthier, which does nothing more than lead us down a vicious cycle  of making the wrong choices and subsequently punishing ourselves for them.  ∙The key to intuitive eating is aiming toward authentic well-being. This holistic approach  to food requires you to take what your body is communicating to you in real-time and  blend that with objective, scientific principles on nutrition, instead of simply looking for  a one-size-fits-all diet.

How To Rewire Your Mindset If You Get Injured..

I dislocated my knee two weeks and torn the MCL.. Fortunately, or unfortunately (depending on your perspective), this isn’t my first injury..  I know the rehabilitation process at this stage and anyone who has ever got injured knows the same..

#394: Dr. Sara Reardon (The Vagina Whisperer) on Sex and Exercise Rules After Childbirth, Rethinking Post-Partum Care and The Importance of Pelvic Floor Fitness! 

Sara is a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist who specializes in online pelvic floor fitness programs.  Her goal is to save the world one vagina at a time by providing expert care for your down there.    “Our healthcare system is currently doing a terrible disservice to people with vaginas. Postpartum “care,” for instance, is little more than a six-week permission slip to return to exercise and sex. And if we happen to have any concerns, they’re brushed off. “Welcome to motherhood,” or, “That’s normal at your age,” we’re told. But that is not OK.   Since 2006, Sara has worked with thousands of women suffering from pelvic floor problems, and I decided something had to change and feels that we shouldn’t be normalizing pelvic floor problems. We ought to be normalizing pelvic floor conversations.   And so, The Vagina Whisperer was born. She created this space so that every vagina owner out there—can finally get the care they deserve.   Here are some of the things we discussed outside of the topics in the title:  The main reasons for painful sex Best practices for exercising during pregnancy  How the Vagina Whisperer movement grew and now has over 390k Instagram followers.  Social media and unrealistic expectations for post pregnancy realties to be aware of.

Rashad is a former UFC Light Heavy Weight Champion and UFC Hall of Famer.  Rashad knows a thing or two about the connection between mind and body, and the importance of having both in sync.

How it’s  possible to “Never Binge Again?” by applying the psychology of winners to eating.   Shownotes:  Website: www.NeverBingeAgain.com Blog: www.neverbingeagain.com/TheBlog/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drglennlivingston/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/NeverBingeAgain Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NeverBingeAgain/ Books: Never Binge Again BRIAN'S LINKS: New Nutrition Course:  https://briankeanefitness.com/nutrition-course/   BKF Online Program: https://briankeanefitness.com/bkf-online/   GAA Lean Body Program: https://briankeanefitness.com/lean-body-program/

#318: Tim Spector on The Diet Myth, Your Gut and Why Almost Everything We’ve Been Told about Food is Wrong!

Tim Spector is Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at King's College London.  He has won several academic awards and published over 700 academic papers, a large proportion of which relate directly to nutrition and the causes of obesity. Since 2011 he has been leading the largest microbiome project in the UK, using genetic sequencing to study the bacteria in the guts of 5,000 twins. He is the lead investigator for BRITISH GUT, the UK's largest open-source science project to understand the microbial diversity of the human gut. He is a prolific writer with several popular science and diet books, the most recent of which will be the focus of today’s conversation.  That book is called Spoon-Fed: Why Almost Everything We’ve Been Told about Food is Wrong.  If you’ve never questioned the conventional “wisdom” when it comes to the food choices you make or you just geek out on nutrition and anything to do with the gut (like me), then this is a must listen.   Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s podcast:      Why personalized nutrition is the way forward and the problem with ‘one size fits all’ diets.     The diet myth and if you look after your gut how your gut will look after you.     The most unsupportive myth for people with fat or weight loss goals.     The optimal diet and lifestyle for gut health.     What do look out for when choosing fish, meat and plants to eat.      Studying identical twins and what that shows us about weight loss and genetics.     Why you can’t out exercise a bad diet and the importance of gut microbes for weight loss.     Breaking down all the major nutritional misconceptions and myths out there.  SHOWNOTES: Tim’s Website: https://www.tim-spector.co.uk/ Tim’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tim.spector/?hl=en Tim’s Books: https://tinyurl.com/3bkfyj83 https://tinyurl.com/2bv4d6zs https://tinyurl.com/c6wxp5ns   BRIAN'S LINKS: The online business podcast https://briankeanefitness.com/business-podcast/ How to move your PT business online course https://briankeanefitness.com/online-business-course/ Rewire Your Mindset course (new): https://briankeanefitness.com/rewire-your-mindset-course/ BKF Online Course: https://briankeanefitness.com/bkf-online/

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it.    The questions from today’s podcast:    I’ve just slightly touched on some of your accolades and your incredible books, but Gabby, tell us a little bit about your backstory and what led you on your current path? 05:29   I know your mission is to help people crack open to a spiritual relationship so that they can live in alignment with their true purpose. Talk to me a little about your mission? 07:34:   In your new book Super Attractor, your call to action is asking people if they are ready to take their spiritual practice to the next level and manifest love and joy like they’ve never experienced before? Talk about how people can make a shift from occasional practising to living a spiritual life every day. 13:57   One of the sections of the book that I connected with most was on how to release the past and live without fear of the future, can you talk about how people can adopt this in their own lives? 30:16   I loved your recent blog post on  How vulnerability gives you power, can you talk about vulnerability and peoples relationship to it?  27:35   You had a great post on Instagram about  How to make spirituality a habit and just to recap, it was based in five steps.  35:50 7.What are you most excited about right now? 40:06     GABBY’S LINKS:  Gabby’s website: https://gabbybernstein.com The Universe Has Your Back book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Universe-Has-Your-Back-Matter/dp/1781804257/ref=sr_1_2?crid=YX725PWM5DKI&dchild=1&keywords=gabby+bernstein&qid=1599041412&sprefix=gabby+bern%2Caps%2C206&sr=8-2   Super Attractor book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Super-Attractor-Methods-Manifesting-Wildest/dp/1401957161/ref=sr_1_1?crid=YX725PWM5DKI&dchild=1&keywords=gabby+bernstein&qid=1599041412&sprefix=gabby+bern%2Caps%2C206&sr=8-1 Surrender Video YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBM5RPf2L_U   You are the guru free audiobook: You Are the Guru   ------------------------------------- Check out my latest book ‘Rewire` Your Mindset’ on audiobook – available now on Audible – click here.  (https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Rewire-Your-Mindset-Audiobook/B0885DLNGT?source_code=AUKFrDlWS02231890H6-BK-ACX0-195065&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_195065_rh_uk

BONUS: Brian Keane - Living With Self Awareness Daily On The Innerfight Podcast 

Full interview from The Innerfight Podcast  Hosted by Marcus Smith  Subscribe to Innerfight Podcast http://www.innerfight.com/category/podcasts/   Brian Keane is no stranger to the InnerFight podcast as this is the third time we get him on.  For those of you that have listened to Brian in the past or to his podcast, you will know he has a unique energy and passion for life. Without briefing him until 30 seconds before we recorded this show during his recent visit to Dubai I started firing deep questions around self-awareness to Brain. Self-awareness is something that we hear spoken about a lot and for many, I think you will agree we know we should have it, we may have even read books on it and we totally buy into it. However, like many of these things actually practising it on a daily basis is something else. In fact, how do we practice self-awareness? What are the checkpoints? What should we be doing? These are all questions that I fire at Brain during this chat and he has some great answers. I am sure you will enjoy this show. Thanks for listening and if you do enjoy it why not share it with a friend that you think it may help.   =================== Brian's Links Rewire Your Mindset Seminar https://briankeanefitness.com/product/rewire-your-mindset-seminar/ Brian's Books Can Be Found Here: https://tinyurl.com/BRIANSKEANEBOOKS

#252: Sanjay Rawal On How To Change Your Relationship With Running!

Sanjay Rawal is a documentary filmmaker. He spent a decade in human rights philanthropy before realizing he could deepen his impact by turning a lens on cultures and communities worthy of notice. Hence was born a career in documentary filmmaking. Sanjay’s documentaries include Ocean Monk, Challenging Impossibility, and Food Chains, which takes a hard look at migrant farm labour exploitation. Sanjay’s latest offering and the focus of today’s conversation is 3100: Run and Become. A behind-the-scenes immersion into the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race — the world’s most elusive and elite, multi-day running race. Held annually around one utterly unremarkable half-mile urban sidewalk block in Queens New York, it demands competitors to complete at least 59 miles daily for 52 straight days. The film also explores the historic and current relationship between running and spirituality through intimate visits with the Marathon Monks of Japan; the persistence hunters of Africa’s Kalahari tribe; and Arizona’s Navajo Nation.

BONUS: Rewire Your Mindset

This is a special bonus episode of the podcast about my upcoming seminar in Dublin on April 20th 2019. I hope you enjoy it.  Location: The Hilton Hotel (beside Dublin airport) Date: Saturday 20th April 2019 Time: 10am – 5pm Free parking at the Hilton or free shuttle bus from Dublin Airport. Tickets for Rewire Your Mindset Seminar  Click Here Are you looking to Rewire Your Mindset so that you can hit any goal in your fitness, personal or work life? If yes, then this is the seminar for you. During the full day event, you will learn about the concept of The Four Quadrants (Health, Wealth, Love and Fulfilment) and how rewiring your mindset is critical in making any change in your life. Here are some of the areas we will be covering on the day. Building Confidence: using the ‘confidence table’ to hit any goal and how to add legs to that table with small and simple steps. Designing The ‘Perfect Day’: The days lead into weeks, weeks into months and months into years. When we get the perfect day right, the ‘compound effect’ starts to kick in and difficult things like eating well, training consistently and difficult conversations start to become much easier and automatic.    Goal Setting: There’s a foolproof system for hitting any goal by keeping the end in mind at all times. Once you learn it, you can apply it to all four quadrants. Dealing with negative people: once you get clear on the action steps needed to improve your four quadrants, you will see how easy it easy to cut (physically or emotionally) from those who pull you backwards. You will also see how to design your inner circle of people who will help you on your journey. Feeling the fear and doing it anyways: learn the techniques and strategies I used for overcoming my fear of failure, my fear of success and the fear of other peoples opinions.   Habits: tell me what you do every day and I’ll tell you where you’ll be in a year. You will leave the seminar knowing exactly what action steps you need to take in order to hit your end goal and how to stay on course when things get difficult. Mental health: Use my daily discomfort techniques for overcoming environmental anxiety and depression. Avoiding self-sabotage: Your biggest enemy lives between your two ears. When we identify why you self sabotage, you will finally be able to get out of your own way and hit any goal that you set for yourself. If you feel frustrated, unconfident, unsatisfied or unfulfilled in any area of your life, then this seminar is not to be missed! Lets Rewire Your Mindset on the 20th of April 2019.

#172: Dealing With Mental Health

This was a difficult episode to record and I talk about some of my own issues that I haven’t talked to previously.  I’ve had my own issues with mental health and your mess becomes your message so here’s to hovering over the ‘publish’ button for several minutes.   “Depression is about what has happened, anxiety is about what could happen” Do you have a mental health issue or an ‘ I have too many negative people on my life’ issue?  Control the controllable (exercise, meditation, mindfulness, yoga etc.)  What’s causing your issues? “Smart people have great answers, Geniuses have great questions!” Stay on top of it. “Tell me what you do every day and I’ll tell you where you’ll be in a year.” Make of list of what makes you happy and unhappy - it’s that simple. Don’t be a f**ing victim anymore! “If you do what is easy and your life will be hard, if do what is hard and your life will be easy.”  Mental health is an advantage if you choose to see it that way. There’s nothing you can call me that I haven’t already called myself already (and ten times worse). Become stronger and it becomes your superpower!

Parts of this episode are very raw and I’ve used some stories from my personal life that I haven’t talked about before so I hope it helps.   Notable timestamps:  Ask yourself, who am I spending most of my time with? 05:34 “You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with” – Jim Rohn  If you can’t cut people because they’re family or in your workplace, you need to give their words less weight! 14:36  “If you wouldn’t switch positions with someone, why are you listening to them?”    There are three types of people in this world, people who give you energy, people who drain your energy and those who are neutral. Who are the emotional vampires in your immediate environment? Are they just projecting onto you? 36:49 “Somebody projecting hate or negativity on you is normally a reflection of what’s going on in their life. That’s on them, not you! Remember hurt people hurt people”     “There’s always someone smarter, leaner, bigger. There’s always a bigger d*ck!” 43:10     Shownotes: Blog The Fitness Mindset

#132: 5 Stories You’re Telling Yourself That’s Holding You Back!

  Today is a pretty heavy hitting mindset episode, I talk about some things in my own life that I haven’t spoken about previously to try and give context to how these stories showed up in my life and the life triggers that sparked them. I feel like this would have been a treasure map for me five years so I hope it helps as it’s something I needed to hear not too long ago.     Story 1: IT’S JUST NOT THE RIGHT TIME  00:05:12:22   Watch out for fear disguised as practicality   Story 2: I’M DOING SOMETHING SO THAT’S GOOD ENOUGH 00:15:31:13   Do not confuse movement with progress!   Story 3: I CAN’T DO THAT! 00:24:42:00   If you tell yourself you cant, your mind will close off immediately. Remember, if your goals don’t scare you they aren’t big enough!   Story 4: WAIT, BUT THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE!  00:30:10:22   All your limitations are self created and impossible is a big word thrown around by small people. Try telling Thomas Edison (inventor of the light bulb) or The Wright Brothers (inventors of the airplane) that their ideas were impossible! (Steve Jobs, Elon Musk and Richard Branson are the modern day examples)     Story 5: I'LL LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES! 00:32:57:02   This one needs more context. It’s incredibly important to learn from mistakes but nobody said they had to be your mistakes. Reframing this one single story has changed everything in my life in over the last five years.

#129 Mindset Books for Beginners, Juggling Too Many Things At Once, Fat Burners Harmful or Helpful and Sending Nude Photos On Social Media

Currently in the middle of your book and your anxiety podcast was so helpful. Do you have any other mindset or philosophy book recommendations for a beginner?  I’m juggling with a new-born, career, training and college, any tips?  What do you think of fat burners, are they harmful or helpful? -   I’ve lost my way in life, don’t even have the energy to go to the gym anymore, what should I do?  A guy I’m texting wants me to send him nude photos, I’m not sure if I should, what if anyone else sees them but I’m afraid he won't text back if I don’t do it?

#126: I Learnt More in 2017 Than The Previous Five Years Combined (Reflection Episode)

I’ve probably learnt more in this last year than I had in the previous five combined. I hope this episode helps as much as it helped me re-listening to it.     Self-awareness is more important than any skill or knowledge you can learn. You need to do what’s important to you and not what the world says you should do.   “Be yourself because everyone else is taken” – Oscar Wilde     Process is EVERYTHING! I spent large chunks of 2016 doing things that I thought would make me ‘successful’ – success comes when you love what you’re doing   “If you can't be happy on the journey, how are you going to be happy at the destination?” – Buddha     Success is massively subjective – two years ago, I got everything I thought would make me successful ‘a new house, a brand new car, money in my bank account etc’ but I felt the exact same by the end of the year. This year I learnt that ‘success’ for me is spending time with my little girl and helping as many people as I can with videos, podcasts and programs. Find what ‘success’ really means to you and you’ll be surprised how easy it is to hit it.       Happiness comes from subtraction, not addition. I always thought that ‘i'll be happy when.. I have this car.. this house.. this level of body fat.. this amount of money etc.” – I was always adding and putting my happiness into some external addition to what I currently have. This year I learnt more about the things that truly bring me happiness and fulfilment and it comes from taking things away (people, things, situations), not adding them.     “ Perfection isn’t when there’s nothing left to add, its when there’s nothing left to take away” Antoine de Saint-Exupery   Knowledge is just filling the gaps between what you don’t know you don’t know AND it can be learned! Everything you don’t know, you can look up, it’s the things you ‘don’t know you know’ that will kill you. Books,

#119 How To Get Rid Of Anxiety, Worry and Stress FOREVER!

1.Dealing with anxiety, worry and stress are a lot like sweeping the floor, you can sweep it once and it’s clean but if you don’t stay on top of it every day, it gets dirty again. 2.Find what works for you. There is no ‘silver bullet’ – experiment with different strategies and double down on the ones that work.    3.Find the thing that puts you into a ‘flow state’ – for me its training, running and walking.   4.Gratitude journal. I used a gratitude journal for a few months but focusing on 3 things your grateful for (even if it's something small like having enough food for breakfast) can prime your day to see all the amazing things that you do have.   5.Affirmations on the future. This is a catch 22, too much focus on the future and your anxiety can get worse but with just enough looking into the future (being in the clouds as I like to call it), can make you feel so much better about the things you have to look forward too. 6.Live in day tight compartments and just ask yourself, did I get today right? This is the key to long-term success in everything, fitness, mindset, business, relationships, you name it.. step by step we get ahead.

#118: 5 ‘Life Hacks’ I Use Every Day (Dealing with Negativity, Naysayers, Anxiety, Worry and Just Staying Happy)

1.Focus on the process: “if u can't be happy on the journey, how can you be happy at the destination” - Buddha 2.Compare yourself against where you were and not by who’s in front of you. Your chapter 1 is going to look very different from someone else’s chapter 20.   3.Realise there are only really three types of people in your life – haters/naysayers, the ones that don't care what you do and your #1 fans – choose who you spend the majority of your time with very wisely!   4.Happiness comes from subtraction, not addition. I'd rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies, focus on quality over quantity every time.   5.Ask yourself, who is it that really matters? Find the 5 people in your life whose opinion matters, everyone’s else’s opinion is just noise.

#117: The Business Episode: How To Run a Successful Business- Going Broke and Starting Over Three Times.

This episode is a little different to normal. A Leaving Cert student came to me with questions for his Entrepreneur LCVP project and I thought they would make for a valuable podcast episode for anyone out there who runs a business, is self-employed or would like to make money in fitness. I hope it helps and be sure to hit me up on Instagram DM and snapchat to let me know what you thought.    This goes pretty in depth on how I went from social welfare, living with my mum and dad and how it took me three different attempts to get my fitness business off the ground. I’ve been so fortunate to have gone from flat broke on welfare to #1 Best Selling Author with hundreds of people come through my programs every month in less than 4 years. If nothing else, I hope this episode serves as inspiration if you are struggling in any area of your life and that you only truly fail when you stop trying.

#109 The 5 Questions Everyone Should Ask Themselves At Least Once In Their Life!

  Tony Robbins regular says ‘ask better questions if you want better answers’ – these are 5 questions that I still ask myself at least once a week when things are feeling particularly hard or difficult.   This is one of these rare episodes (alongside ‘how to find your life purpose’ and ‘the tips I would give my 18 year old self’) that I would have given anything to hear five years ago. I hope it helps you as much as it helped me re-listening to it.    1.     What would I do for free? My version of success is waking up every morning knowing that if I won the lotto, Id still does what I’m doing now. What would you do for free? Build your life around that.   2.     What does my perfect day look like?   Who are you spending the day with, what are you doing and why is it perfect? Find the things that make you happy, do more of it, find the things (and people) that make you unhappy, do less of it.   3.     What would this look like if it were easy? I more than anyone have to deal with ‘superman syndrome’ where I think I can do it all and bite off more than I can chew, which normally just leads to stress and anxiety. This is my ‘go to’ question when feeling overwhelmed or anxious.   4.     Who am I doing it for? The how means nothing until you find your why. The days you’re tired, struggling and don’t know if you can continue, ask yourself, who is it for?   5.     What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail? As soon as I start to get in my own head and start thinking about what could go wrong, I ask myself this one question and it opens everything else up. If you feel your own biggest enemy lives between your two ears, then ask yourself this questions every time you feel you can’t do something.

BKF EP 91: How To Stop Caring About What Other People Think About You! (I Needed This Episode 4 Years Ago)

Any change you need to make (your body, your job, a realtionhisp) comes from caring what other people think about you! I needed this episode so badly when I moved from London.   1)     Who is your inner circle? Their opinions matter, nobody else’s does!   “Those that matter don’t mind and those that mind, don’t matter”   2)     Everything is an opinion! When you realise that everything in life is an opinion and perspective of that moment in time, you don’t let it affect the choices you make.   “Stop letting others people opinion of you become your reality” 3)     Caring comes from compassion with other people (their bodies, their partners, their things!) “Comparison is the thief of joy” 4)     Hate and negativity is a projection!  Understand that any hate or negativity aimed in your direction is a projection of whats going on that person.   “what people think about you is none of your business” 5)     Guard what you put into your mind! If you are putting negative thoughts and garbage into your mind, that’s what’s going to become your reality!   6)     Don't let fear stop you! My biggest fears in life (quitting my job and having Holly) lead to me become the person I wanted to be.   “Behind every fear is a person you want to be!” 7)     Remember,  you are going to die! If I told you that u have a terminal brain tumour and you have 5 years to live, what would you do, who would you spend time with, what job would you do? What dreams would die with you. “The biggest tragedy in life would be to meet the person you could have become”

BKF Ep 73: Real Talk: Steroids, Competing, Fat Burners, Social Media Following and Body Dysmorphia.

This a little bit more ‘real talk’ than other episodes. I’m more or less speaking to the 22 year old me who would have traded everything to look like a pro fitness model, become a sponsored athlete and have a social media following.   In 2015, I got all that and had to deal with the ‘real’ fitness industry and my own issues with body dysmorphia that came with it. This is a pretty real and candid episode and even though there are so many worse things in the world than dealing with the way you look, it’s all-relative. So for anyone who looks at the fitness people on social media with hundreds of thousands of followers or the top fitness guys or bikini girls who compete and wonder why you don’t look that way, then hopefully this gives you a bit more of an inside view from someone who lived it.     For more information about everything fitness, nutrition and mindset- head over to www.briankeanefitness.com to check out the blog or Brian's Facebook, YouTube and Instagram (which has a combined total of over 130k followers) - thanks for listening. To send in any questions for the podcast or for live Q+A’s, check out my snapchat briank019.   Facebook: Brian Keane Fitness Snapchat: briank019 Instagram: brian_keane_fitness   YouTube: Brian Keane Fitness
