Podcasts and interviews
I've said most of it out loud somewhere
Forty-one conversations about building a brand, running a gym, lifting heavy things, and getting more out of the hours you already have. The oldest one is from 2015. Most of the recent ones are about the book.
On structure, focus, and Win Your Next Hour
Most of these came out of the book. The through line is the same every time. You don't need more motivation, you need a better hour.

I used to host one too
Not In My Box ran from 2017, first as Gas Station Cappuccino. More than 190 episodes of conversations with people who built something the hard way. I don't record it anymore, but the back catalog is still up.

Same story, in print.
Looking for a guest?
I'm an easy booking. I show up prepared, I don't dodge questions, and I've never needed the host to carry the episode. Business owners, gym owners, weightlifting, habits, and how to stop being busy without getting anything done.
