In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I reveal one of my biggest recovery and performance secrets: how I burn up to 500 calories while sitting completely still. Most people think a sauna is just a place to relax, but when used correctly, it can become a powerful tool for fat loss, recovery, cardiovascular health, mental toughness, and peak performance. I break down my exact sauna protocol, why I spend 25 minutes in 170-degree heat multiple times per week, how it helps me train at a high level year-round, and why the last few minutes inside the sauna may be the most important part. If you're looking to improve recovery, increase endurance, reduce inflammation, and build the discipline required to perform at your highest level, this episode is for you.
In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I break down the exact ice bath routine that helped take my testosterone levels from under 300 to over 900 naturally. I’ve been doing cold plunges for years, but after changing when I used the ice bath and applying a new protocol before workouts, everything changed. We dive into the benefits of cold exposure, boosting testosterone naturally, increasing metabolism, improving recovery, reducing inflammation, and building mental toughness through daily discomfort. I also explain why suffering every morning can sharpen your mindset, improve discipline, and help you perform at a higher level in every area of life. If you’re looking to optimize your health, energy, recovery, and performance naturally, this episode is a must-watch.
In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I sit down with Morozko Ice Bath founder Thomas Seager to break down how ice baths completely changed my testosterone levels, recovery, energy, and overall performance. We dive into the science behind cold plunges, inflammation reduction, mitochondria health, hormone optimization, and why more entrepreneurs and high performers are using ice baths to sharpen their mindset and build mental toughness. I also share my personal experience going from chronically low testosterone levels to seeing massive improvements after changing my cold plunge routine. Whether you’re looking to improve recovery, boost testosterone naturally, increase energy, or push yourself mentally, this episode is packed with powerful insights and practical advice that could completely change your health and performance.
In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I break down how to build confidence, leadership, and sales skills fast by doing what most people avoid: getting uncomfortable. Confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s built through repetition, awkward conversations, taking action before you feel ready, and putting yourself in situations that force you to grow. I share real stories from my early days in business, from struggling to talk to people to intentionally putting myself in uncomfortable situations just to sharpen my communication and leadership skills. We also dive into why leadership is a lifelong process, why avoiding difficult conversations keeps you stuck, and how the fastest way to grow in business and life is to stop waiting and just do it. If you want to become a stronger entrepreneur, better leader, and more confident closer, this episode is for you.
In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I break down how to build a successful business through consistency—because success isn’t about working more hours, it’s about executing effectively every single day. Too many entrepreneurs confuse being busy with being productive, but the real winners are the ones who focus on the right tasks, stack small wins, and let consistency compound over time. I share why most people fail (lack of execution and discipline), how to structure your days for maximum impact, and why success doesn’t happen overnight—it takes years of showing up, doing the work, and staying locked in when things get hard. If you want to grow your business, build momentum, and separate yourself from everyone else, this is the mindset and strategy you need.
In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I break down the secret to selling anything: confidence and belief. If you don’t truly believe in your product or service, there’s no way your customer will either—it starts with you. I share how confidence is built through repetition, practice, and putting yourself in uncomfortable situations until it becomes second nature. From perfecting your sales pitch to mastering your tone, body language, and energy, every detail matters when it comes to closing deals. I also open up about my own journey—from being introverted with zero sales skills to becoming highly confident and effective in selling—and how you can do the same. If you want to close more deals, raise your prices, and grow your business, it all starts with believing in what you’re offering and showing up with confidence every single time.
In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I break down exactly how entrepreneurs fix cash problems fast—because I’ve lived it. I share real moments from my journey where I was deep in the negative, facing serious financial pressure, and what I did to turn it around quickly. The truth is, when things get tough in business, quitting doesn’t solve anything—you’re still in the same situation. I explain why sales and speed of execution are the ultimate solutions, how urgency can completely change your outcome, and why embracing the hard moments is what separates winners from everyone else. If you’re struggling right now, this is your reminder that you can sell your way out of any situation—but only if you take action immediately and stay in the game.
EntrepreneurMindset #BusinessGrowth #StartupAdvice In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I break down exactly how to survive cash flow problems in business—and win. Every entrepreneur will face financial pressure at some point, whether you're just starting out or scaling to the next level. I share the mindset and real strategies I’ve used to push through tough cash flow situations, from staying calm under pressure to leveraging relationships with banks, vendors, and partners to buy time and create solutions. I explain why asking for help is a strength, not a weakness, and how building strong relationships can open doors when you need it most. Most importantly, I talk about resilience—because in business, tough moments are where breakthroughs are made. If you stay in the game, think creatively, and refuse to quit, you’ll come out stronger on the other side.SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJkh-idOsUdPNS9gODy9qUQConnect with Josh York:Website : https://joshyorkgg.com/Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/joshyorkgg/* WHO IS JOSH YORK?Josh York is an American entrepreneur and the founder & CEO of GYMGUYZ, a fast growing, fitness franchise.

In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I break down a simple truth that most entrepreneurs overlook: you can sell your way out of any problem. If your business is struggling, it usually comes down to one thing—lack of sales. I talk about why waiting for leads is a losing strategy, how mindset and daily affirmations impact your results, and why taking massive action—getting out into the community, building relationships, and creating opportunities—is the real game changer. I share real examples from my early days, from knocking on doors to starting conversations anywhere, and how consistent execution and repetition will sharpen your skills and increase your confidence. If you want to fix your business, stop overthinking and start selling—because action solves everything.
In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I break down the real reason why most people never become top performers—they fall into the trap of constantly starting over instead of pushing through when things get hard. I talk about the vicious cycle of jumping from opportunity to opportunity, why discomfort and growing pains are actually signs of progress, and how long-term success comes from commitment, consistency, and staying aligned with the right people and vision. I share lessons from my own journey building GYMGUYZ, the importance of being part of a strong team and culture, and why the people who win are the ones who stick it out when others quit. If you want to level up in business and life, you have to stop chasing the next thing and start building where you are.
In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I break down the hard truth about why most people never become top performers. In business—and in life—you’ll always see three groups: the top performers, the middle, and the people at the bottom. The difference isn’t luck; it’s mindset, execution, and the people you choose to surround yourself with. I talk about why following the system matters, why negative thinking and excuses destroy success, and why speed of action separates winners from everyone else. If you want to win at a high level, you can’t waste time worrying about failure—you have to learn from people who are already succeeding, execute quickly, and show up with the mentality that excuses are not an option. If you adopt the mindset of a top performer and take relentless action, you’ll outperform the majority of people who simply tap out too early.
In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I break down one of the most powerful truths about success: your identity determines your success. Most people focus on goals, but the real key is becoming the person capable of achieving and sustaining those goals. I explain why you don’t get what you want—you get who you are—and how your daily actions, mindset, language, and habits shape the identity that ultimately creates your results. I share personal stories from early in my journey, from putting myself in environments I couldn’t afford yet to speaking success into existence before it showed up in my life. If you want to grow your business, level up your discipline, and build real long-term success, you must first become the person who wins.
In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I talk about a truth every real entrepreneur eventually faces: entrepreneurship will break you before it rewards you. Growth is painful, setbacks are inevitable, and most people tap out the moment things get hard. I break down why success is simple but not easy—if you don’t quit, you can’t lose. I share why patience, discipline, and consistency are non-negotiable, why great things never happen overnight, and why the people who stay in the fight when it hurts are the ones who eventually win. If you’re in a tough season right now, this episode is your reminder that something great is coming—stay in it and keep pushing forward.
In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I break down my exact daily routine that builds extreme discipline—no matter where I am in the world. Whether I’m traveling internationally or grinding at home, nothing changes: my ice bath, my morning supplements, my water routine, my workouts, my preparation, my schedule, my mindset. Discipline comes from consistency, and consistency comes from being obsessed with your habits every single day. I share how I stay locked in, how I prepare the night before, and why most people fall short because they lack structure, obsession, and follow-through. If you want to become truly untouchable, this is the blueprint. #disciplinewins #DailyHabits #highperformance

In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I break down why having a backup plan is the fastest way to sabotage your success. I share a real conversation I had with a potential franchise owner who asked, “What happens if I fail?”—and why that mindset guarantees you will. Success only has one option: Plan A. No escape routes, no safety nets, no doubt. If you’re serious about winning in business and in life, you’ve got to commit fully, push through the chaos, and believe in yourself even when things get tough. There is always a way forward—you just have to be relentless enough to find it.

In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I break down one simple truth — success belongs to the action takers. Too many people sit around thinking, planning, and waiting for the “perfect time,” while others are out there doing the work and winning. I talk about what it really means to execute daily, even when you don’t feel like it, and why consistency, discipline, and movement are the keys to massive success. If you want to grow your business, stop overthinking and start doing — because the money follows the movers.

No matter what stage you’re at in business, uncertainty never disappears — and that’s exactly what I talk about in today’s episode. I share a real story about a friend ready to quit his restaurant and how I helped him see that business is just like a puzzle — the pieces don’t all arrive at once, and the only way to find them is to keep moving forward. If you’ve ever felt stuck, doubted your direction, or wondered if it’s worth pushing through, this message is for you. Keep grinding, stay mentally tough, and remember: progress comes from motion.

In 2014, York received approval to franchise the GYMGUYZ brand , with the first franchise opening that year in Westchester County, NY and the first international location opened in Canada in 2017. York has said his vision is his guarantee and often can be heard saying “In 15 years we will be the largest fitness brand in the world. The chance of that not happening, you will have a better probability of seeing elephants fly”! York lives on Long Island with his wife Stacy and two young sons and enjoys spending his free time with his family, playing ice hockey or working out. York is the author of the bestselling book, FUEL, WHAT IT TAKES TO SURVIVE AS AN ENTREPRENEUR, selling 8000 copies in 2 months. York is a true entrepreneur driven by passion, no stranger to risk, and a leader who knows the value of building a strong culture with a commitment to being the best. **
In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I share real advice on what it truly takes to build a business from the ground up. I talk about starting GYMGUYZ in my parents’ dining room, the power of patience, why you must be “patient with results but impatient with action,” and how risk, confidence, and consistency separate the winners from everyone else. I explain why words matter, why discipline beats “being busy,” and why lasting success only comes when you push through the pain, pressure, and setbacks that every entrepreneur faces. If you want to learn what it really takes to grow a business, this one’s for you.

In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I’m diving deep into one of the most important keys to success: showing up. Whether it’s our annual convention, a high-level business event, or a learning opportunity, being in the room with winners changes everything. I share personal stories of sacrifice, from flying to London for an expo on my son’s birthday to the game-changing lessons I’ve seen owners learn just by being present. If you want your business to grow, your network to expand, and your mindset to level up, you have to make showing up non-negotiable. #EntrepreneurMindset #BusinessGrowth #Leadership

In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I share a personal story that highlights just how critical customer service is in business. After a chemical burn incident at a store I’ve supported for over a decade, I was shocked by the lack of response and care from the owner—no apology, no accountability. I break down why small gestures matter, how one moment can ruin years of trust, and what every business owner must do to protect their brand. If you want your business to thrive, you need to master the details, from holding the door to delivering a sincere apology. #CustomerExperience #BusinessTips #entrepreneurlife

It takes serious courage and confidence to be an entrepreneur. You have to be willing to put yourself into the crosshairs and own YOUR space and community!!! And it is not easy!
Rejection will happen, doors will be shut, and you will hear "NO" countless times. The only way to survive in this world is to consider rejection as a simple challenge. Challenges that can be overcome...maybe not today or right now but challenges that can be overcome. Why?? Because you must refuse to take NO as an answer.
Failure is to accept defeat and GIVE UP. Failure is just a bump in the road that you will encounter along the way to success. #HONESTTRUTH: If you are not failing at something, it means you are not trying hard enough. Ultimately, it is all about mindset and attitude. Consider this a reminder to NEVER GIVE UP or ACCEPT REJECTION

We all have those moments of doubt and uncertainty and sometimes, we let them paralyze us and stop us from moving forward. I remember when I first started my business and I needed a lot of money to establish. I had to use my life savings to make these much-needed moves, and I remember being so scared and afraid of taking such huge steps, but I didn’t let that fear stop me. I believed in myself and my dreams enough to set a 2-weeks mandate to make my business work.
The fear of the unknown and uncertainty is part of business and life in general. Ask yourself; what’s the worst that can happen? Failure? Lose?
Failure is not all bad. Consider it a win because it is the perfect way to learn and overcome fear to get to the next level.
On This Episode:
- Fear is a Sense of False Expectations that Appear Real
- Fear is Not Bad, it can be a Motivating Factor
- Fight the Fear of Uncertainty to get to The Next Level
- Failures are Wins because it is How You Learn

As Easy McCoy preps the release of a lot of new music and new projects, the Seattle-born rapper finalizes his transition from acclaimed artist “Soul P” into one of hip-hop’s most thoughtful and progressive new emcees. “This is me now,” he says. “After 12 years of working, touring and learning, I’ve grown to understand who I am and now I’m comfortable being Easy McCoy.”Born and raised in Seattle’s tough Yesler Terrace neighborhood, he describes his first musical experiences as purely organic. “As a kid in inner-city America, hip-hop music was a big influence on our lives; we listened to music to escape,” he says, citing influences that span both coasts, such as Nas, Talib Kweli, Ice Cube and NWA. But a turbulent childhood, which found him constantly in-and-out of jail, delayed his career until he completed his final stint at 18-years-old.While rap played only a minor role in his earlier years, McCoy admits that he penned some of his best songs during his time behind bars, giving him a platform to responsibly speak about his struggle. “It becomes a way of life,” he says, of his time in the streets. “We didn’t do it to look cool, we did it to survive and to eat and that’s why I choose not to glorify it in my music.”With topics ranging from racial profiling to police brutality, The Soul Affect showcased a “raw and more political” side of Easy McCoy, setting up the foundation for his transformation into one of hip-hop’s conscious emcees.
