  • Quick fire: Your HIS-story

    Quick Fire: HIS-Story

    We all live inside a story.

    Not history — HIS-story.
The story we tell ourselves to explain why things are the way they are.

    That story becomes our belief.
 And that belief quietly runs our choices, our reactions, and our results.

    In this quick fire episode, we break down how the story you’re telling is either keeping you stuck… or setting you free — and why nothing changes until the story does.

    If you want different results, you don’t need more effort.
 You need a new STORY.

  • Our origin story - the 2 critical SHIFTS that changed EVERYTHING
    Dec 15 2025

    Episode 2: Our Origin Story — The 2 Critical Shifts That Changed Everything

    Every journey has a before and an after.
    This episode is about that line in the sand.

    We’re taking you back to the beginning — not the polished version, but the real one. The uncertainty. The pressure. The moments where things could’ve gone very differently.

    Along the way, there were two critical shifts that changed everything — the kind that don’t announce themselves loudly, but quietly alter the direction of your life and work.

    In this episode, we share:

    • Where we started and what we couldn’t see yet

    • The first shift — the moment everything began to move in a different direction

    • The second shift — the decision that permanently changed the trajectory

    • Why growth isn’t about adding more, but becoming someone who can carry what’s next

    This conversation isn’t about a specific industry.
    It’s about what happens when the old way stops working — and something deeper has to take its place.

    If you’re building something, leading others, or sensing you’re standing at a turning point you can’t ignore, this episode will resonate.

    If this episode speaks to you, follow the show and share it with someone who’s on the edge of their own shift.

  • From Technician to Transformer
    Dec 4 2025

    Most instructors think better technique, sharper classes, and “just teaching well” is the path to a thriving school. It’s not. In this episode, we break down the biggest myth holding coaches, teachers, and instructors back — the belief that skill alone creates success.

    We’re pulling back the curtain on the real reason students show up, stay, and transform… and why so many instructors stay stuck in the “just a teacher” identity without even realizing it.

    We dive into:
    • Why being overtrained in technique and undertrained in transformation is killing your impact
    • The identity crisis between teacher and leader
    • The signs you’re trapped in the technician loop
    • The shift that changed everything for us — retention, results, and real student growth
    • What it actually takes to lead transformation, not just transfer knowledge

    If you’re feeling the pull to do more, lead deeper, and build an actual movement — not just run classes — this episode is your wake-up call. And yes… something big is coming for those who are ready to step into that role of LEADER

    Listen in, share it with someone hungry for growth, and get ready — this is where the identity shift begins.
