In this episode, I sit down with Sleeve No Card Behind to talk about Pokémon card rarity, investing mistakes, and how rarity levels are shaping the modern hobby. We dive into missed opportunities like shadowless first edition Charizard, why top-tier vintage cards rarely crash, and whether YouTube helps or harms long-term enjoyment of collecting. We also cover Pokémon’s lack of pull-rate transparency, the risks of addiction in trading cards, and powerlifting and calisthenics.

In this episode, I break down the “boring middle” of fitness — the phase where nothing is wrong, progress feels flat, and motivation has worn off. I'll talk about why this stage confuses so many people, the common mistakes that cause slow drift backwards, and what long-term consistency actually looks like beyond hype and fresh starts.

Ever wondered why you keep starting over every Monday?

I share coaching lessons, real client examples, and personal stories about perfectionism, snacking triggers, weekend spirals, and the start-stop cycle so many people fall into.
