Today we delve into the dichotomy of starvation and gluttony in business, as well as life. This concept not only applies to corporate strategies but also mirrors a fundamental human tendency to oscillate between scarcity and excess.
Key Highlights:
- Starvation vs. Gluttony in Business: Glazer's theory suggests that while businesses often fear starvation - a lack of resources and growth - it is gluttony, or excessive growth and expansion, that leads to their downfall. This notion challenges conventional wisdom about business growth and expansion.
- Crumbs Cupcake - A Case Study: The story of Crumbs Cupcake serves as a cautionary tale, illustrating how fear-driven expansion led to its bankruptcy. This example underscores the perils of gluttony in business, as the company's rapid growth outpaced market sustainability.
- Apple's Strategic Retraction: Contrasting with Crumbs Cupcake, Apple's success story under Steve Jobs' leadership highlights the effectiveness of strategic retraction. Jobs' decision to reduce Apple's product offerings significantly laid the foundation for its remarkable success.
Notable Quotes:
- "The fear of starvation leads to actions driven by scarcity, while it is often gluttony, or excess, that seals a business's fate."
- "Growth is essential, but it's the quality, not the quantity of growth that matters."
Action Step:
- Reflect on areas in your life or business where you might be overextending. Identify where strategic reduction can lead to more focused and effective growth. Remember, it's not about doing more; it's about doing what matters most and doing it well.

In today's episode, recorded almost three years ago, we delve into a crucial success clue: "Failure – Five Things Guaranteeing Your Failure Before You Start." Let's explore the pitfalls that often sabotage our goals and how to avoid them.
Introduction:Our goals don't adhere to arbitrary time constraints. Unrealistic goal setting, especially with tight timeframes, sets us up for failure. The paradox is that while more time provides more opportunities for success, we often want everything faster. Today, we uncover the five common pitfalls that guarantee failure in any endeavor.
Key Points:

Negative Self-Talk:

-
Negative Environment:
-
Your environment, both physical and mental, plays a significant role. Curate your surroundings, social media, and relationships to foster positivity and support.
-
Comparing Yourself to Others:

I’ve done a lot of breathwork in my life, but nothing like Justin showed me, so I encourage you to check out his website in the show notes and attend one of his virtual seminars, or if you’re in Austin check him out in person.
Everything Justin does is to promote and generate LOVE and HEART AND MIND COHERENCE. He is a master creating and holding safe space for individuals to grow physically, mentally and spiritually.

Kelly is an ex-personal trainer turned transformational coach specializing primarily in body image and relationships with food. After being a personal trainer for several years, she dove deeply into personal development - originally for her mental health and for the success of her business - and started to realize that her perceived healthy lifestyle as a fitness trainer and nutritionist was just a very convenient way to disguise an eating disorder and abusive relationship with herself. Her journey of reconnecting back with herself beyond the conditioning of diet culture, the fitness industry and entrepreneurship was the groundwork for the work she does today in coaching women to feel at home inside of themselves and their bodies.

Lots of people say "I just need to stop being lazy" when it comes to accomplishing their goals. In fact, this is an unhelpful statement, as it doesn't actually take aim at what is holding you back. Listen to this episode to learn the true reason you seem to not be able to take action, even when it's towards a goal you really, truly desire.

Today I have a very special surprise for you. Rather than the usual guest conversations, where I bring on an expert to talk on a specific topic, on today’s episode I’m actually the one being interviewed.
I was recently on the “make your course great” podcast, hosted by Kate Nash. Kate is an expert in marketing and course creation, and on her show she interviews coaches and course creators, so she had me on to talk about my new course “Quit quitting: the Proven System to Building Your Purposeful, Passionate Life.” In this episode, Kate helps me break down my course, and understand who needs it, and how I can best serve my clients, and the world.
This is a great “peek behind the curtain,” to get to see a little bit about what goes on in my head, and what I’m up to. This was recorded a few weeks ago, and I’ve actually already launched the first iteration of the course, which you’ll hear Kate talk about, and it’s going amazingly, and the participants are getting so much value out of it.
I think this episode will be extremely valuable for you, because we dig into the logic and thought processes I use to help my clients get life-changing results.

Gillian Tietz is the host of the "Sober Powered" podcast and is a biochemist out of the Boston area.
When Gill quit drinking in 2019, she dedicated herself to learning about alcohol's influence on the brain and how it can cause addiction. Today, she educates and empowers others to assess their relationship with alcohol.
This was a super interesting and topical conversation to me, because as some long time listeners know, I have had my own dark path with alcohol, and while I am not SOBER in the sense that I never drink, I’d say I’m about 95% of the way there, only having alcohol every couple of months, a handful of times a year tops.
A key factor in me turning my life around, from being blackout drunk, drug doing, belligerent, bad decision making, ass hat, to creating and becoming the happy, healthy, human, was me getting away from drinking so much.
This episode isn’t meant to tell anyone what to do, nor do I nor Gill seek to judge, or anything like that. If you like to drink, and have no plans on stopping, this episode is still going to be hugely impactful for you
And that is because of Gill’s unique perspective as a scientist, and how she understands the human body, and the human brain, and her insights around building and breaking habits, regardless of if those habits have anything at all to do with alcohol or not

As an advisor & entrepreneur, Brett has supported the strategic growth of two separate performance companies and is a highly sought-after consultant and mentor for many others across the United States and abroad, which is why I’m so honored to have him on the show
On a personal level, I have learned a lot from Brett. He is one of the people who has mentored me from afar for years, without ever knowing it
I read his book, I have followed him on social media since I was just starting out as a personal trainer. And now I am fortunate enough to have been able to meet Brett in-person multiple times.
His podcast “the art of coaching,” is one of the shows that I listen to regularly, and highly recommend you check it out. It’s not just for coaches, it’s for communicators
And as you’ll hear on this episode, communication is for everyone. This is exact reason I wanted to have Brett on the show, and to introduce him to you, my audience.

"Tell me a win from this week!?"
This sentence is how I start off EVERY coaching call with my mindset coaching clients. The importance of celebrating wins, big or small, can't be overstated. There is a rhyme and a reason to this, and an actual science behind not only the science of celebrations, but what makes a celebration beneficial, versus simply a "cheat" that throws you off track and takes away from the greater goal.

Flobiltiy has literally changed my life, and I have become enamored by the system. I highly HIGHLY recommend it for each and every person, no matter what your fitness goals. It truly is a game changer.

I am not economist, not a statistician, and I suck at math in general. In business school, the only class I ever failed was Statistics 1.
In life however, we often come to learn things later, that we wish we understood earlier.
I wish I understood costs, beyond the economic value and how to use them to make better decisions in life.
My loss however, is your gain, and in this episode I explain how to make better decisions, and how to understand two topics that can't be overlooked if you want to be health, happy, and successful: sunk costs, and opportunity costs

Having spent nearly a decade in the health and fitness space as a professional, I feel that I have a pretty good radar when it comes to detecting BS. That's why when I meet someone who shoots it straight, and comes correct with facts, and real actionable advice, I always take note. Adam Hameed is one of those people, and over the last few months I have really enjoyed connecting with him and speaking with him on the Clubhouse app, so I knew this would be a good talk.
Get ready to get motivated, and hear some no BS advice on how to live a healthy, happy life.
Some key points:
3:05- Calling out BS in the fitness industry
6:05- Understanding anecdotal evidence vs scientific facts
9:30- Adam's nutrition pet peeve
13:30- Getting more tools in your fitness/nutrition tool belt
17:00- Outside the box thinking and learning from being wrong
22:00- How Adam's 20+ year martial arts career has helped shape his life
30:10- Embracing opportunity

Dr Ryan runs themovementfix.com , and is one of the smartest guys in the fitness space. I have learned so much from him over the years, I've taken his courses, so it was a pleasure and an honor for me to have him on this episode.
In true HHH fashion, we spoke almost nothing about fitness or corrective exercise (a topic both of us are experts in) and instead dove deep into mindset, life, existentialism, and all of the stuff I really like to talk about. So this was a pleasure for me, and I really suggest you get your note-pads out as the last 20 min or so especially is stuffed full of good takeaways.
Here are some time stamps for the impatient:
1:40: Simple does not mean easy
3:40: How Dr Ryan defines "health"
8:40: Are you trying to be better, or just not be worse?
11:45: Fitness & aging
18:10: How can we use the internet for good
25:40: Dealing w growing pains
31:40: Life as a tree
36:30: The delayed feedback loop
39:30: Self esteem and what it means
42:10: Being reactive vs being proactive
44:45: Are you trying to win, or are you trying not to lose?
45:35: Ryan's action step

This episode I go through 31 life lessons that have become clear to me over the course of my now 31 years on this planet
- Everything is the same.
- Health is non negotiable
- Fitness is great for a variety of reasons. Looking a certain way is low on that list
- Same can be said about nutrition
- Doing the hard thing is always the right answer. I have yet to find a single example of where this is not the case
- The older I get, the less I care about ‘having fun.’
- Mindset matters, more than just about anything else
- Time is to valuable to waste commuting. Move closer, or get a different job
- After you have a roof over your head and food on the table, all money is wasted. What do you want to waste it on?
- Be ruthless with your time. Say no to more things
- Everything has an opportunity cost. Understand it, and calculate it
- The stories we tell ourselves about our past, write our future. Be careful how you speak to yourself.
- The internet is the most powerful tool of our generation.
- You are totally, completely, 100% in control.
- Less smart phones, more smart conversations
- Food is so much more than just something we eat. It is a part of our families, our cultures, our religions.
- Spending all of your time to make money that you then don’t have the time, or energy to spend, is not a worthwhile trade
- Drink more water. Eat more fruits and vegetables.
- If you aren’t actively planning ahead, you are actively doing harm to your future self
- Every decision you make effects so many more people than just you. Remember that. Only thinking about yourself is selfish by definition.
- Ive never finished a book, or a workout and regretted it
- Invest in yourself. The best money you can spend is on courses, and teachers (this includes personal trainers and business/life coaches)
- There is no right way. You have to figure it out yourself, but you can learn from the mistakes of others
- It’s astonishing (and also sad) how much attention people pay to how they look, and little they pay to how they feel
- That thing won’t make you happy. Whether it is money, a promotion, the girl, the abs, the number on the scale, or whatever else. It all starts from within.
- Abs are overrated. So are biceps. And basically all vanity muscles
- Lying to others is bad. Don’t do it. Lying to yourself is worse.
- The most valuable skill in the world is being able to delay gratification. If you can do that, you win at life
- People don’t value you, or your time if they aren’t paying for it
- Yes it’s hard. Yes it sucks. You’ve still gotta do it anyway.
- Read more books.
