Thanks for joining another episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! I’m venturing into new territory on today’s episode and talking with Braydon Ross about how to use Airbnb to make money. And I’m not talking about a few extra bucks here and there—I’m talking about a viable stream of income that will increase your freedom to pursue what you value, whether it’s traveling or focusing on building your new business!
- The difference between renting and reposting vs. managing properties for a cut
- The benefits of running a property management business through Airbnb
- Braydon’s future aspirations for becoming the largest host on Airbnb
- The importance of having a team as an entrepreneur
- Advice for people trying to grow their business and their team
- The value of networking in person vs. online
- Suggestions for beginners trying to make money on Airbnb
- How changing your nightly fees and cleaning rates impacts your profits
- Braydon’s hobbies and outlook on life
Braydon’s first entrepreneurial experience was flipping iPhones and providing health and wellness training in college. After starting a small social media marketing agency and working with Tai Lopez, Braydon shifted his focus to earning income solely through Airbnb. He has since trained over twenty thousand people on how to make a profit using Airbnb and is ready to take his business to the next level while helping others do the same!
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- If you’re working every single second, you’re not rich.
- I believe in health over wealth because money’s useless if you’re dead.
- You can make a business out of almost any idea if you have the right model.
- Most people quit when they realize there’s pain in growth—it’s why very few people succeed past 5 years in starting a business.
- It’s good to work on a business, but if you aren’t focused on real-life relationships, what are you amassing all this wealth for?

Welcome to this week’s episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! My guest today is Matt Rosenman from CheatDayDesign and I’m honored to host him for his very first podcast interview! I invited Matt on the show because he knows how to combine what he’s good at with what he’s passionate about and it shows up as amazing content. Matt is here to share his journey, how social media has worked for him, and what it’s really like to be an entrepreneur and pursue your passion!
- How Matt decided on the name for his Instagram
- Why Matt focuses on educating others about food and nutrition

- The value of figuring out how to combine your passion with your talent
- The reality of entrepreneurship and creating success for yourself

After trying diet after diet, understanding nutrition eventually became easier for Matt, but he realized it’s not as simple for others. He decided to educate others by combining his passion for nutrition and fitness with his talent in graphic design and began creating and sharing nutrition-based infographics on Instagram. He loves providing value for others and believes the sacrifices and dedication his work requires are worth being his own boss!
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- People think they need to try diets which might work really well for others, but you don’t need to follow that path—you need to make your own.
- When it comes to eating intuitively, if you’re still hungry, you’re not eating enough.
- People look for a secret sauce or special template but it’s as simple as showing up every day, working hard, and providing value.
- It comes down to engagement on social media. Look deeper than the likes when you’re trying to make an impact or grow your own business.
- You might have a crazy idea, but there’s a market for it! I’m a big proponent of doing what you love!

Thanks for listening to this episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! It’s not secret our lives are inundated with tons of people claiming to be the real-deal when in reality they have no clue about the hard work, late nights, and failures it takes to be successful entrepreneur in today’s world. Steve Sims joins me on the show today for a blunt conversation about not being scared to take action and what it means to be authentic in a world filled with bs.
- Steve’s background and why he started Bluefish
- Why asking questions is scary and how to overcome “No Phobia”
- How to ask questions to get the answers what you want
- The power of taking action instead of giving into fear
- The impact of artificial intelligence on face to face communication
- What it really means to be vulnerable and authentic
- The difference between an entrepreneur and an intrapreneur
- The value of doubling down on your strengths
Steve Sims is known for saying what’s on his mind without holding back. He proudly acknowledges “he’s just a guy that spends rich people’s money” and knows how to get answers to the most incredible questions most people are scared to ask. He understands the value of just going for what you want most in life while keeping it real when it comes to success and failure!
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- People are scared to ask questions because they’re scared of the no.
- People don’t know how to ask for what they want. If you get a no, you’re either asking the wrong question or the wrong person.
- The art of communication is not an app you can just download on iTunes.
- We’re so plugged into the online and AI world that we unplug from the real world.
- Focus on the source. Never trust anyone if you haven’t seen them fall down or fail and watched how they handled it.

Thanks for joining another episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! Today’s episode is all about CHANGE. For most people, the uncertainty that comes with change can be unsettling and scary. Kate Schutt is a change coach and she’s here today to share some valuable insight that makes change a little less daunting and explains how to face changes in your life head on, whether you feel 100% ready or not!
- Why Kate calls herself a change coach instead of a life coach
- Common roadblocks people experience that prevent change from happening
- Ways to find flexibility and work with the change that’s already working
- How Kate processed her biggest change involving the loss of her mother
- Why you should encourage yourself to be a beginner and not compare yourself to others
- How to manage change by learning new things and chunking it into smaller steps
- The importance of letting go of self-limiting beliefs and negativity
Kate Schutt understands what it means to play hard, work hard, and overcome changes that are hard. After being a division one athlete in college, she made a natural transition from athlete to change coach when she realized how much she enjoys helping others. As someone who has experienced a significant loss in her life, she understands change can be difficult but believes it’s possible for everyone. She works to show others where change is working for them and how to use it to create even more change in their lives!
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- Look for where change is already easy in your life and bring it over to the area where change is blocked.
- If you don’t take care of yourself, you can’t take care of anybody else.
- Life IS change; nothing stays the same. If you can get through another day, the next day will be one more day you’re closer to something being different.
- Don’t compare your Chapter 1 to someone’s Chapter 20. Have a beginner’s mindset.
- Sometimes something so simple can have a significant impact if you just allow yourself to be okay with being bad at it.
- Hobbies matter! Find something you live and do it for the simple fact you love doing it.

Welcome to another episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! Today, Drew Kaz joins me to discuss his clothing brand NuBodApparel. Drew shares what it’s really like to be the CEO of a new company and what it takes to launch a clothing brand. Drew also discusses his own challenges with body dysmorphia, its impact, and how this disorder often gets hidden or made worse by social media. This episode highlights a problem that needs more attention AND gives valuable insight to starting your own business or even your own clothing line!
- Why Drew’s motivation and message is grounded in helping others
- Drew’s process for taking his clothing brand from an idea to a business
- Advice for new entrepreneurs interested in building a clothing brand
- Drew’s Ambassador program for NuBod and his 3 target markets
- Why it’s important to be patient and learn to balance work with work
- The cost/benefit factors to consider when launching a clothing line
- Tips and tricks to finding a manufacturer that aligns with your vision
- Drew’s vision and hope for NuBod Apparel’s future
3 years ago, Drew was overweight and unhealthy at 250 pounds. He hired a personal trainer and soon became a successful fitness show competitor. However, even though he always shared positive posts on social media, Drew struggled with body dysmorphia and was far from being happy. Eventually, Drew found comfort through spirituality and learned how to bring more balance to his life and mindset regarding his health. He realized the power of helping others and decided to launch a company that stands for creating a new body both spiritually and physically!
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- It all started with just an idea, and now it’s a brand.
- When you start a business from a place of love and beyond money, you enjoy it so much more.
- Believe in your brand name. Take your time. It costs money and it’s not easy.
- I wouldn’t be interested in it if it didn’t help me help others.
- Grind now, enjoy life later!
- People go through things but they try to hide it on Instagram. I did that, too, when I was in show prep. Helping others is why I started this brand and it’s what drives me.

Welcome to another episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! I’m so excited to have the “Unlimited Lifestyle Coach”, Shayla Locklear, as my guest today. Shayla is a business and marketing consultant for high-performance entrepreneurs and focuses on the power of influence, confidence, and grit. Whether you’re an entrepreneur or not, you’re going to love the information Shayla shares on how to manifest these three qualities to improve your overall mindset and understand that failure is just another part of success.
- How understanding yourself lets you understand your ideal client and their needs
- The value of sharing your story and resonating with others through “reality marketing”
- The importance of remembering the difference between mass marketing and individual marketing
- Why you should take small steps and focus on one market even when you’re a multi-passion entrepreneur and coach
- The benefit of an “everything means nothing” mindset
- Advice for how to manifest and build tenacity
- The significance of understanding we cause the majority of our suffering, and we have the power to change our perspective
Shayla took a very non-traditional path to become the coach and consultant she is today. Over the span of two decades, she gained a wide range of experience including retail, higher management, fitness, cosmetics, matchmaking, and even mattress fundraising positions! Her “rainbow of a background’ allows Shayla to teach the value of connecting with others while being the real you and to keep going no matter how many times you fail.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- Polarization is key. It’s not about being an a$$hole just because or saying stuff just to say it. You have to be you and do it in the right way.
- Your ideal client is YOU. You’re the best person to get to know so you can accurately market and speak the language of your ideal client.
- When you market to everybody, you’re marketing to nobody. Remember that small steps eventually lead to quantum leaps.
- Recognize there’s not an easy path from A to B. We need to learn the lessons that happen from A to C to Z to D to F to B and be okay with this journey.

Sometimes the opportunities and options we have in this day and age are overwhelming. Figuring out what you want to do with your life can be super difficult because there’s no clear-cut path and expectations from society are often unrealistic. I know firsthand what it’s like to not have everything figured out and to feel lost and frustrated. But I’m also living proof that it’s completely okay, you’re not alone, and there is a way to move forward!
- Amber’s post-secondary journey
- The power of creating your own path despite the fear of failure
- The importance of letting go of "shoulds" and expectations
- The value of taking action instead of focusing on answers
- A reminder that you don’t need permission to do what’s best for you
Amber knows what it’s like to be a Type A perfectionist who wants everything planned and ready to go. She shares her story in hopes of reminding others that when they start to feel lost, it’s best to look at the bigger picture and to keep moving toward their true purpose. She truly believes everyone has the choice and power to change their path and their situation.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- Sometimes it's not about finding the answer— it's about knowing you're not alone.
- If you’re toying around with the idea of taking a leap to do what you love, just do it!
- Give yourself the grace and space to figure out what you love AND to change your mind.
- Feeling lost, grief, depression, anxiety are all a part of life. It's okay to feel those things, but it's not okay to stay there.

Thanks for joining another episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! Take a minute and think about the brands you’re most familiar with like Apple or Coca Cola. When you think of Coke, you obviously don’t know the CEO, but you do know the product. You know what the can looks like and what it tastes like. The same idea can be applied to building your own business. Not everyone will know you from day one, so it’s important to put yourself out there and let people get to know you. And I don’t mean fake-everything-is-perfect-you. I mean the person who works hard, acknowledges failure and is ready to help people get the results they want.
- The importance of “know, like, and trust” and building omnipresence within all of your platforms
- The value of building relationships and connections with clients before you try to sell anything
- The benefit of acknowledging and referring clients that aren’t a good fit
- Why you need the right mindset as you approach each opportunity
- The power of believing in yourself and building confidence others trust
- The importance of helping clients visualize their journey with you
When people look for a health or fitness coach, they don’t hire just anyone. They look for coaches they resonate with on a human level and someone they will actually enjoy being around. Do you want to work with someone that doesn’t want to work with you? It’s a two-way street and the easiest way to walk down it is to know your ideal client and show up for them 100%.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- Build your relationships first. Connection is a currency.
- Grade your clients. Start cycling out the C clients and focus on clients that WANT to work with you.
- Entrepreneurship takes work to be successful. How you view the “work” is up to you.
- Don’t be a self-sabotager and cause you to be the reason people aren’t buying your sh*t.
- There are people who are meant to work with you. Those are the people you should be serving and helping.
- There is a big difference between confidence and arrogance. Know within yourself that you can do this and others will feel it, too.
- Work to support people, not sell them.

Welcome to another episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! My goal for 2019 is to add even more value to the show by inviting guests who provide an interesting mix of perspectives on fitness, business, or entrepreneurship. Today, Merlyne Jean-Louis and Marissa Crespo join me to share the importance of legal support and to draw awareness to legal issues many people tend to ignore until it’s too late.
- Why it’s important to talk to a lawyer before starting your business
- Common mistakes social media influencers make
- Different types of clients entertainment lawyers represent
- Advantages of owning an online business
- The value of allowing yourself to find your own path and pursue your passion
Merlyne and Marissa discuss their journeys to becoming entertainment lawyers and how their different backgrounds help them connect with more clients. They are both empowered boss babes who inspire others to be smart about their business and to seek legal advice from the get-go!
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- There are legal implications for what you do in your social media space.
- People only talk to lawyers when they have a problem, but they should talk to lawyers sooner than later to prevent problems.
- Social media has made fame a sort of democracy; it’s more palatable and touchable for everyone.
- Give yourself permission to love what you do today for the foreseeable future or to love what you do now and be open to change down the road. Both are okay.
- Don’t let your perfection be your procrastination. Don’t hinder yourself from finding your purpose.

Thanks for joining another episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! We’re kicking off 2019 with my friend and special guest Brandon Carter. To put it lightly, Brandon’s resume is STACKED! He is an Instagram influencer, business fitness coach, Keto transformation expert, former model and he owns multiple businesses. His knowledge of the fitness industry is as impressive as his many accomplishments, and I’m excited for him to share this valuable information with all of you!
- Brandon’s reason for business coaching
- How Brandon is able to work with a wide variety of clients
- The drawbacks of starting multiple businesses
- The qualities and characteristics to look for in a team
- Brandon’s journey of earning money illegally to earning money legally
- The importance of keeping a calendar and allocating your time appropriately
- The value of actually being present in the present moment
Although Brandon Carter enjoys success now, his journey to the top was far from smooth. Hailing from a rough neighborhood of Chicago’s south side, he was sent to military school after getting in trouble as a young teen. He found refuge in training and returned to Chicago expecting more trouble but instead was able to share his knowledge with others.
Besides personal training, Brandon had a talent for the drums, keyboard, and making music. He had a short-lived stint as a recording artist and music producer as part of the Sony label, but was dropped after a merger with BMG. Dejected and unsure of what to do next, Brandon turned to selling drugs. Eventually, he was scouted by a modeling agency in New York but stayed mixed up with drugs. It was not until losing friends to murder and prison and even losing his own father to suicide that Brandon decided to walk away from drug dealing. He now makes an honest living helping others make sustainable changes to either their health or business.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- It’s hard to take someone who’s already good to great, but anyone who does the work is going to get results they want.
- I’ve made every mistake. I’m able to show both my successes and my losses to my students.
- The man who chases two rabbits doesn’t get either one.
- 1400 people die a day from obesity-related health issues. We have the opportunity to help change that.
- Learn from someone who has already been through it. Get advice from them and listen!
- Sometimes you have to be humble enough to go to the back and let others take charge.
- Every week has 168 hours. 56 hours for sleep and 56 hours for work. What are you doing with the other 56 hours?
- Nobody gets the best of you when your attention is divided. Be present in the moment.

Welcome to this week’s episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! I have an awesome guest for today’s episode. Alyssa Flores is a fellow teammate and competitor, better known as “Dumbbells and Doughnuts” on Instagram. She truly understands the mindset required to survive in the world of competitive bodybuilding. Alyssa has an incredible history of determination and successful weight loss; she dropped over 80 pounds just to compete on stage! Today, she shares tips and tricks on how to face struggles head on and how to keep a positive attitude of self-worth and self-love.
- The impact of social pressure
- Long term vs. immediate results
- The power of open communication with yourself and others
- Why it’s okay to lean on others for support and tough love
- The realities of experiencing “mental fog”
- How a proactive approach can help you achieve your goals
- The value of authenticity and sharing your struggles
- The meaning of “Dumbbells N Doughnuts”
- How to handle judgemental feedback and not compare yourself to others
Alyssa’s inspiring physical and mental transformation took years and is something she still works on every day. She shares her journey into the fitness world and the challenges she faced along the way before she ever stepped on stage. Alyssa discusses the negative influence social pressure can have on your self-image and the power of being open and honest with yourself wherever you are in your journey.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- It’s not just about the stage; it’s about a long lifestyle and mindshift that’s going to keep your health in check.
- It’s okay to lean on others and ask for help when you need it.
- Sometimes you need people in your life to give you the help and the reality check you need.
- Every part of your journey deserves to be heard. If you don’t share all of it, how can anyone know that they can do it, too?
- Just because you’re in a different place now, doesn’t mean you can’t love who you were when you started.
- Being judged for 30-60 seconds does not dictate who you are. It should not control your emotions moving forward.
- Whether or not you have to work 10 times harder than others is completely irrelevant. Know what YOU have to do and work as hard as YOU can.
- Allowing yourself to feel emotions helps you get through them and let them go.

Welcome to this week’s episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! Today, I talk with IFBB Pro Eren Legend, who is a friend of mine and a legend in Toronto who wears about 13 different hats. Eren does it all; he’s a celebrity fitness coach that models, acts, speaks, writes, and more! He knows what it’s like to hustle and struggle, and he understands the power of networking and how to build a community around your brand and business. I’m excited to share this episode with you because Eren has a lot of valuable information and amazing business advice for those trying to make it in the entrepreneur world.

He shares the challenges of moving to a new city and how he worked to overcome them and re-establish himself. Eren also talks about his successes and failures and how he uses both to share his story and relate to others in a more real way.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- You don’t want to depend on the unknown. Put yourself in a place of opportunity.
- If you pursue things you’re passionate about and put in the work, things will work out for you.
- Share your story. Tell people this is who I am, this is what I believe in, this is what I’m doing. It lets people know they’re not alone.
- For every one success someone has, there’s probably about ten or so failures you don’t see.
- You have to be happy about the things that ARE in your life. Don’t dwell in the things that AREN’T.
- The depths of your struggles determines the heights of your success.
- Know that you’re a catalyst for others, but respect the idea it’s not about you.
- Lead by example. It’s more powerful when you look the part. When you live the part. When you are the part.

Welcome to this week’s episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! Today, I have with me someone who has been on the podcast before, but not in this type of way. I have with me my husband Deni, and he’s been on the podcast before talking about stuff to do with our lives. But today I’m switching it up and talking about what he has going on in his life and how he makes his income, which is through day trading.
Since I am trying to take the podcast in more of a personal development and entrepreneurial path, I thought this would be a really great episode for you guys. It shows another way that you can become an entrepreneur in your own right and create an income for yourself that isn’t based on a typical 9-5. As I always say, I’m not hating on anyone who chooses the 9-5 route, but I am a strong supporter and advocate of entrepreneurial adventures. I want to highlight different ways for you to explore creating an income for yourselves and being your own boss!
- What inspired Deni to get into day trading
- Basics of stock trading
- Investing vs. trading
- The value of penny stocks
- Key mistakes to avoid when day trading
- Tips for day trading successfully
- Patterns of day trading
- Resources for day trading
- Advice for how to handle losses and to keep going
Deni shares why he chose to pursue day trading and the benefits it has brought to his life. He explains how to generate income as a day trader and the work required to be your own boss. Deni also discusses mistakes he has made as a day trader in order to help you avoid doing the same thing. He clarifies how and why you should avoid “revenge trading” and to know when you should cut your losses and step away. For those interested in day trading, Deni stresses the importance of researching, practicing with paper stocks, and understanding the psychology of trading.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- As an entrepreneur, the more work you put in, the more you’ll get out. That’s not always typical of a 9-5 job.
- Don’t chase a stock or hold onto a stock for too long.
- Cut your losses. If you’re down, you’re down; get out and move on to the next one.
- If you’re trading out of pure emotion, you’re going to lose money.
- You’re not going to know how to invest your money unless you invest in learning.
- Paper trade until you know you can be profitable.
- At the end of the day it becomes about winning more than you lose.
- The most important thing is knowing how much you’re willing and able to risk.

Welcome to this week’s episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! I have an extra special episode for you today! Today is my birthday and I’m super excited for you guys to hear the 5 life lessons that you DON’T want to hear but that you NEED to know. I’m going to share these life lessons with you and then correlate them to either an example in business, in fitness, or in relationships, because I feel everyone can stand to learn how they can apply these life lessons to their own individual personal lives and the relationships that they have with friends, family, and significant others. Fitness is always going to be close to my heart and it’s definitely a personal passion of mine, but business is my main focus in terms of my clear path and my business consulting. I want to make sure I’m paralleling these lessons in different verticals so you can take value from whichever life lesson applies to you in this moment, in this season of your life, and take away a key actionable item that you can work on through these lessons that I’m sharing!
- Lesson #1: If it seems to be good to be true, it probably is
- Understanding typical/worst results vs. top student/outlier results
- In business or relationships, keep an eye out for red flags and follow your intuition
- Lesson #2: It doesn’t have to be hard, but it shouldn’t be easy.
- You shouldn’t hate what you’re doing, but you should have to put forth effort to get the results you want.
- Relationships should not be forced or hard, but they do require daily effort
- Lesson #3: You’re going to experience loss.
- Importance of knowing progress will always go up and down
- Focus on your goal and what you can fix and what you can control
- Lesson #4: There is no such thing as being “self-made”.
- Recognizing that support is not a bad thing
- Lesson #5: You can’t help everybody, and you shouldn’t try to.
- Understand that people can only receive support if they’re open and willing to receive it
- Focusing on impact vs. income
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- Do your due diligence and research before making any investments. Take calculated risks and educated decisions.
- You should never stop putting effort into something you truly love doing or that you truly want.
- It doesn’t have to be hard to effective. You can operate from a place of flow instead of a hustle and grind. If it’s not enjoyable, why are you doing it?
- There’s no such thing as linear progression; there are peaks and valleys. Don’t get caught up in the valleys of loss, so you can keep going and reach a higher peak.
- Get of your high horse. Recognize and appreciate the support you have and amplify it.
- If you’re trying to play the long game in your business, know that you cannot help everyone.

Welcome to this week’s episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! Today I have with me Tanner Chidester, a “fit pro”, who has successfully built his online fitness coaching business to well over six figures in under a year. He has an amazing strategy for business that he’s going to share with us today! He talks deep about business best practices, mistakes that he’s made in business, networking, and more. If you are a fit pro and you’re listening, this episode is going to be highly applicable to you, and I hope you enjoy the value that Tanner shares with us today!
- Importance of sales and marketing for an online business
- Value of validating your offer, getting more leads, and more sales
- Impact of a premium service, one-to-one coaching offer
- Power of Social media, lead flow, and building a following
- Working with fitness coaches vs. working with business coaches
- Mistakes Tanner has made as a fit pro
- Not trusting yourself, fear of failure, fear of success
- What retention means for your business
- Importance of networking and building relationships with successful coaches
- Bringing value vs. taking value
- Owning who you are and having integrity
Tanner shares his background and what inspired him to get into online fitness coaching. Tanner explains how he struggled to get his business going for the first two years and then he found a method that worked best for him. He now claims to be a marketer who does fitness. Some people know the fitness game but they don’t understand the market or how to do sales. Tanner stresses the value of knowing what the market wants and validating your offer. He explains that he has found more happiness and success in coaching when his focus is more about impact and integrity than income.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make is trying to sell something before even knowing if the market wants it.
- People work with coaches who have a seven figure business, but it’s a seven figure business of signing people up trying to make money. But have they ever made money in fitness before?
- The easiest way to get what you want and where you want to be is to work with someone who has been through it and who has been successful.
- If it’s all about the money, you’re never going to be happy because you can always make more.
- If you want to have business for the long term, you must operate with integrity 100%. If you burn bridges you’ll be alone on the island.
- Sales and marketing will drive your business, but delivery will sustain it long term.

Welcome to this week’s episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! I’m going to start off this episode with a little riddle: What do coffee, Harry Potter, and fitness all have in common? I know the title probably gave it away; the answer is in fact Jordan Syatt, who is today’s guest! I’m really excited to have him join us today, and if you’re not familiar with who Jordan is, he’s known as @SyattFitness on Instagram. Look him up! He’s well-known for his Harry Potter-based analogies, and he also runs a group online coaching program called the Inner Circle and is the CEO of a coffee company called Unicorn Magic Coffee. What Jordan and I talk about today is content creation. We go deep and talk about how you can create content effectively as well as how to be authentic and vulnerable in your content. Definitely a really great episode and I can’t wait for you guys to listen!!
- Being okay with not knowing what you want to do
- The power of patience and good intent
- Allowing your passion to evolve as you evolve
- Having fun and creating happiness with your work
- Creating content that has immediate, practical application
- Power of repeating or reposting helpful content
- Value of authenticity and vulnerability
- Impact of integrating yourself and interests into your content
Jordan shares his background in fitness coaching and how even though he’s been fortunate in knowing what his passion is, it doesn’t always mean it’s easy to do what you want to do. He stresses the importance of working hard, doing the right thing, and creating content that helps people.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- Working hard and doing the right thing is the key to being fulfilled.
- Keep going even when you don’t want to. Consistency is what is going to get you long term results.
- People are looking at your posts to figure out what they can get out of it for themselves.
- If you’re just putting out content for the likes, it’s never going to internalize the way it will if you’re providing value for others.
- Social media should be about exchanging value.

Welcome to this week’s episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! We’re going to get into the topic of competition in business. This is applicable whether you’re in a B2B business or a B2C business. B2B businesses sell to other businesses like marketing agencies or coaches for coaches, whereas B2C business involves direct consumer marketing. There are two things about competition that we want to understand today. First, competition is healthy. Also, competition is relative.
- Four Reasons Competition is Healthy and a GOOD THING
- 1-Influences your industry and yourself to constantly grow and improve
- 2-Benefits your client because everyone tries to uplevel their product
- 3-Shows the need in your market
- 4-Prevents you from being the “first to market” and having to educate your market
- How competition influences buying decisions
- Serving your client vs. serving yourself
- Importance of operating from a place of integrity
- Why you should focus on your unique methodology
- How to gracefully discuss competing offers among peers or potential clients
Ultimately, you can look at it as competition, but realistically, people are going to have their own reasons for purchasing from you or not. While you should still always strive to improve your business, there needs to be that understanding that obsessing over what the other person is doing holds no bar because if your product is unique and it works, and it helps people —people are going to resonate with you and your marketing and what you’re offering above what someone else is offering if it suits their needs better. How well can you resonate with your audience? How does your unique product solve their unique problem? Don’t obsess about what others are doing. Focus on your business and highlighting why what you offer is AWESOME.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- People that resonate with your product are the ones who are more likely to buy from you.
- You’re never going to be able to do the same thing someone else is doing better than they are, but you can do your own thing and do it really, really well.
- If you’re doing something unique, you don’t really have competition, because no one else is doing what you do they way you do it.
- Keep your integrity around the uniqueness and individuality of your business. Worry about making what you do the best.
- The less you’re focused on your business, the less successful it’s going to be. Focus on what’s important: Your business, your delivery, your clients.

Welcome to this week’s episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! Today, I have with me health nut, “Health Nat”. Her name is actually Nathalie Botezatu, known as @HealthNat on Instagram; she is an amazing love and service-driven entrepreneur who works with women to repair their relationship with food and self-love within themselves. She’s got an amazing movement that she’s working towards building through her clients and through her content. I’m really excited to share her viewpoints with you on running a business and leading with love and service, as well as integrity, above all else. We cover everything from that fitness-based centered topic around food and healthy living, right through to entrepreneurship and understanding your ideal client. It’s a VALUE-PACKED episode that I cannot wait to share with you!!
- Nathalie’s history of her relationship with herself and with food
- Nathalie’s approach of loving yourself instead of calorie counting
- Flexible dieting as a stepping stone to “food freedom”
- Intuitive eating and doing what feels right for you
- Nathalie’s ideal client
- “Food freedom stories” and creating a clear vision of your relationship with food
- Importance of cultivating a healthy lifestyle
- Growing alongside others in your fitness journey, even as a coach
- Power of integrity and love
Nathalie shares how she works to empower women to help them realize how beautiful and capable they are both physically and internally. She works on guiding women to get to a place where they’re able to be their most beautiful selves and have their relationship with food align with that. Nathalie’s movement provides a transformational experience that fights directly against a lot of mainstream issues in terms of food and eating disorders. She’s not just transforming their physical body or mindset around food; she’s transforming lives and cultivating healthy lifestyles!
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- Women can have a repaired relationship with food that fits into a bigger picture of them being happy, confident, radiating, and beautiful goddesses!
- Be clear in who you want to serve. Wanting to help everyone is an ambitious task; when you try to speak to everybody, you wind up speaking to nobody.
- Declaring what we want, unapologetically, and reminding ourselves of what we want on a regular basis, allows us to create those feelings on a regular basis, and propels us in that direction daily.
- The better you treat your body, the better you treat yourself, the better you show up. A healthy lifestyle is key to expansion in all areas of life.
- Serving with love and integrity is tantamount to any success a business is going to have.

Laura believes recognizing the value of self-love and putting yourself first in order to serve others is crucial to success and happiness.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- If you don’t fail, how will you learn? Take failures as learning opportunities rather than something negative or detrimental.
- If you take time for yourself, you can show up more powerfully for others.
- Have a strong support system, even if it’s small. It’s about quality, not quantity.
- Having the ability to be vulnerable in your weakest moments allows others to do the same.

Welcome to today’s episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! I brought Deni back on to the show to do an episode that was highly requested. We’re going to be talking about quitting your day job to pursue your passion. I got an overwhelming amount of amazing feedback asking if we’d record an episode about this, so let’s jump right on into it!
- Why you shouldn’t base your life around fear
- Calculated risks and researching viable options for income
- How you can’t just Google all the resources you need as a business owner
- Understanding the value of investing in yourself
- Ways to earn income as an entrepreneur
- Realistic perspective of pursuing your passion
- Importance of having a support system and mentors
- How much time and hard work is required
- Being okay with not knowing what you’re passion is yet
- Pursuing your passion vs. your preference
- Impact of surrounding yourself with like-minded people
- Focusing on your pay vs. salary pay
- Common fears about leaving your job
- Being okay with taking risks
Deni discusses what feelings he had around when he first made the move and decided he wanted to quit his job and go into doing day trading. Deni talks about how he familiarized himself with day trading and the timeline he followed when he quit his fulltime job. As we talk, Deni and I both share just how much work is actually required if you’re going to pursue something you love. It’s not about if you have a lucky circumstance, or come from a good family, or having the stars align that allows you to make a move and jump into something you want to do. You have to invest in yourself. You have to put in the time to learn, and keep learning, keep learning, keep learning—to get better and better and BETTER! It’s okay to be scared to make the transition and pursue your passion, but don’t let fear hold you back from doing what you love!
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- When you decide to pursue your dream job, do the research and invest in yourself and make sure you’re knowledgeable and have the tools available.
- When you pursue something you’re passionate about, you don’t look at it as work. You view it as something that’s going to enhance you and learn more about what you love.
- Working from home or having your own business has nothing to do with luck. It’s about hard work. You have to be willing to put in the extra work.
- Knowing that you’re not just working for the weekend or for a vacation is a much better place to operate from.
- It’s okay to be in a place where all you know is that you want to do something on your own.
- When you truly are your own boss, you really get to pick the people you have in your life. Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals and mentors will only propel your forward in your goals.
- It’s better to try and fail than to live a life of what-ifs.
- If you have no plan, and are not passionate about it, and look at quitting your job just as a way to escape a 9-5 job, it’s not going to work.

Welcome to this week’s episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! I have a special shout out today for you guys! Last month was actually a record-breaking download month for the show! I wanted to take a quick moment and let you know that I’m so grateful for the fact that you are supporting the show and enjoying the content, and really just allowing myself and the guests I’m bringing on the ability to bore your ear for an hour a week, and provide value. Value that I hope helps you in moving forward in your own lives and gives you a valuable takeaway everytime you listen to an episode. Thank you so much; I’m really excited about this month and the guests I have coming up. For today’s topic, I want to talk about making investments that make you uncomfortable. A lot of people get weird about the whole money issue and It can be really scary sometimes, but I recommend investing in yourself. I want to share my own experiences and what I’ve learned, and why I think it’s important to make investments in yourself that make you uncomfortable!
- Pushing forward and creating space to grow
- High tickets vs. low ticket investments
- What it means to be invested
- Investigate your investment
- Investing with intention, not emotion
- Questions to ask about your investment
- Understanding strategy sessions and sales pitches
- Four figure investments
- Deciding whether or not to use credit or loans for investments
- Benefits of investing in yourself
As an entrepreneur, investing in myself and my business is definitely something that helps to push me forward. If you drop a high number of dollars for a program, you’re going to make sure that it works for you. Higher ticket programs help motivate you because you want to make the most of the money that you spend. Be ready to make the program work for you and work the program because you can’t just expect it to solve all of your problems. You have to do your due diligence and understand what the investment looks like by asking questions from an analytical perspective instead of just how it makes you feel. What you gain from investing in yourself is priceless. Remember there’s no such thing as a bad investment; look at it as a win or a learn. Just be sure to invest with intention and research.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- When you get comfortable with life, you get complacent. Look for ways to push yourself to move forward and grow.
- The people who pay, pay attention. You’re going to want the ROI or to hit your goal.
- Making an investment doesn’t automatically make a result. It requires work.
- Take ownership and ask the right questions before you invest your money. Do your research.
- Invest in a program that is going to work for you, where you’re at, and for what you want to accomplish.
- Never invest if you are depending on the ROI to pay off the program you are investing in.

Welcome to this week’s episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! I interviewed Nick Tillia, who is a mindset coach and online business badass! He’s helped tons of entrepreneurs scale their businesses to levels they didn’t even think were imaginable, and he does it all through mindset work. It may seem a little odd at first, but honestly have a listen to Nick. Everything he says is so wise and so valuable. I have nothing but amazing things to say about him, and I’ve seen him help people scale their businesses. It’s a valuable episode that every entrepreneur should be listening to from front to end!

Welcome to this week’s episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! I brought on another fellow Angel Competition Bikinis athlete this week. Her name is Lauren Dannenmiller. If you’re not familiar with Lauren, she was actually the overall bikini champion from Miami Nationals last year. She’s an IFBB Pro with a ton of experience, and a great outlook on competing that I personally admire and feel is really going to set her up for longevity within this sport. If you’re a competitor or are just interested in learning more about the competitive bodybuilding scene, definitely take some time to listen to this week’s episode. You will not regret it!
- Lauren’s background in competitive sports and gym training.
- Preparation for national stage: time, patience, mental health.
- Knowing the challenges of transitioning to off season.
- Understand what this lifestyle requires; stage lean vs. everyday lean.
- Willpower, motivation, and the power of a coach who can teach you about your body.
- Meal plans, longevity, flexible dieting approach
- Planning for the long haul, not just short preps
Lauren takes time to explain how she first got started in competing and just how many shows she did before she did her first national show. She discusses the importance of taking time off to improve both your physique and your mental health, especially if you want that Pro Card. Lauren reminds everyone competition takes the right mindset, hard work, patience, and how you can carry it into all areas of your life. I loved today’s talk and think she gives a ton of really great advice and a good setup for people’s mindset for what they need to have in order to have longevity in this sport.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- Those that want the Pro Card: Slow down. Be patient.
- Everything you do matters. Know why you’re doing what you’re doing.
- Greatness requires a level of unbalance and over-dedicating yourself.
- Go see a show and understand what competitors really look like!
- Your coach should also be your teacher.
- Be prepared to be let down and then keep going!

Welcome back for another episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! Last time when I brought on Deni, it was such a successful episode and I got a ton of good feedback from you, so much so that I decided to bring him on again for another episode. I think he’d be able to provide a ton of value and a good, contrasting insight into what it’s like dating somebody who’s competing and how you balance having a relationship while prepping for a show.
- Deni’s experiences in dealing with someone who’s in prep.
- Honest perspective about on-diet vs. non-diet, cut vs. bulk.
- Accommodating schedules to make time together more meaningful.
- Dedication to NPC lifestyle is no different than dedication to other lifestyles.
- Both people in the relationship must have individual goals.
- Keep an open mind and be supportive.
- Be aware sex drive will be impacted by prep/competition.
- Have fun on show day!
As Deni talks with me today, he gives a clear perspective on how to balance personal relationships in the world of NPC competition. My episode with Deni covers what you should expect when your partner is prepping for a show, ways to manage your schedules when they don’t match up, tips for creating a supportive, healthy relationship, and how to best show up on show day. This episode shares really useful information to help create a balance between your love life and your passion!
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- Think about breaking points. If the relationship is based on always spending time together, pursue something for yourself. Both individuals need their own personal goals.
- Remember it is your choice whether or not to compete; don’t guilt your partner for their actions while you’re prepping and they aren’t.
- Be willing to embrace your partner’s choice to compete. Be happy, supportive, and understanding.
- Understand both people’s perspective and keep an open mind. Your relationship is a two-way street, and it takes compromise from both people.

Welcome back to another great episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! Today I’ve got a special guest, Liz Morgan AKA The Halo Top Queen, on the show to discuss the ins and outs of fitness shows - from local to national and everything in between.
- Liz’s fitness and competition journey - from getting started to national level competitions.
- Realistic look at how much work goes behind all shows, especially a national level competition.
- Setting realistic fitness goals, competition ready is not healthy long term.
- Stepping away from negative thoughts - staying positive for yourself.
- Navigating sponsorships.
- Being consistent, in all things.
Today Liz really opens up with me, and we really get into the nitty gritty of competitive fitness and fitness overall. From what you should expect when prepping for a show, handling the disappointment of not placing, keeping realistic goals for yourself, to navigating the world of sponsorships - this episode has a little bit of everything and tons of great information when it comes to the competitive fitness scene!
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- The fact that you’re saying you’ll never do it - is the exact reason why you should do it.
- You can still be fit, happy, sexy, and content without competing. It’s not a requirement of fitness to participate in shows, that’s a whole other passion in itself.
- It is not healthy or realistic to think that you will be show ready all year long - that’s not the case.
- Happiness should always be your compass in life.
- Enjoy and love competing, don’t just focus on the win or get yourself down if you don’t place every single time.

Welcome back to another great episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! I’ve got another solo episode for you today, and I am excited to share it with you. We all get off track, and sometimes stall or even go backwards in progress towards a goal - but I’ve got some tips to help get you back on track. I hope that some of this resonates with you and gives you an idea of what not to do when you realize you’ve fallen off track.
- Three things to avoid when you feel like you’re falling off track.
- Remember why you started this fitness goal to begin with.
- These tips can be applied to other, non-fitness areas of your life and goals.
- Refocus and recenter on your goals.
- Creating positivity.
First - don’t give up! I know it can be easy to feel like once you’re off that track you’ll never be able to get back on it. But that is not true, you have the control to start back on your fitness journey again. Second - don’t panic! This goes for both mentally and physically. Sure you might be a further away from your fitness goal, but don’t let that mentally deter you from taking the necessary steps to get back at it. Also, don’t panic or stress out your body physically - level out before you make too many changes. I suggest going back to your most recent maintenance and then make any tweaks and changes from there. Third - don’t hate yourself into consistency or success. Stay positive with yourself, and don’t beat yourself up over it. Otherwise you could force yourself to fall out of love with something that you were really passionate about.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- Don’t give up! There was a reason why you started doing this in the first place and making a lifestyle change. Don’t forget that why.
- Everybody takes steps backwards in life, it’s part of personal growth.
- You can take as many steps backwards as you’d like, you are in control to do so. You need to remember however many steps you take backwards you’ll have to take all those steps forward again plus one in order to get ahead.
- It doesn’t serve you to continue to spiral downwards.
- Instead of telling yourself you won’t be good enough, tell yourself you’ll be better. Have a positive outlook on yourself.

Welcome back for another episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio - this is going to be a very special episode and I am so excited to share it with you! Today I invited my husband, Deni on the show, to help tell the story of how we met and eventually found love on Instagram.
- Amber and Deni share their story, how they met and developed a relationship on Instagram.
- Noticing people who like your content, not just your photos or looks.
- Not settling in a relationship, finding what you want and need.
- Tips for starting a relationship with someone online.
- Not being afraid of change when it does happen, it can be the best thing you’ll ever experience.
Deni and I give you a look into our relationship and marriage, and how we found love online. Relationships are already complicated, and navigating through starting a relationship through a social media platform can be ever harder. But it can also be very rewarding and lead to a wonderful relationship. Together, we discuss how we met, how we build a solid friendship and foundation before jumping into the physical realm, making the commitment to marriage and each other, and just how important it is to know and love yourself first and foremost.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- I could never picture myself being with someone that I can’t even hold a conversation with.
- It is important to build the connection more than just something physical.
- Having that distance between us originally, allowed us to build a real connection instead of a false one based on the fear of not wanting to be alone.
- Don’t look for a relationship, focus on you and do your own thing and good things will follow. Don’t be looking for relationships, but don’t settle either.
- Nobody is perfect, it’s about finding who is perfect for you. That’s by knowing yourself, being okay alone, and decide what you need.

Welcome back for another solo episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio. Thank you for joining me once again! This episode really truly comes from the heart, and I hope that you gain as much value from this message as I did. I am going to talk about something that can be absolutely terrifying, but is also necessary to grow. Today is all about facing change, dealing with change, and letting change take you to whole new levels.
- Change - facing it and the fear of it.
- Allowing change to help you to grow.
- Do not fear change or taking risks.
- There is always room for things to get better and change in beautiful ways.
- Knowing when to make the move towards change.
Change is inevitable, if you aren’t willing to embrace change yourself then it will force its way onto you. Sometimes the changes life throws at us are great and beautiful, but sometimes it totally sucks. Either way, change is going to happen in your life; you might as well embrace it and see where it takes you. Being able to embrace change overall can help you to notice and seize the great opportunity that change can bring. Every single moment counts, so make the most of the time that you have. Always be following your passion and dreams and embraces the changes along the way.
You are the company that you keep - evaluate the people around you and let go of the ones who are not right for that season of your life. It’s not always the right thing to keep people in your life if it isn’t the right thing for both of you. So ask yourself, who is adding value to your life and are you adding value to theirs? Don’t be afraid to cut ties with someone who is toxic or providing negative energy in your life at that time - protect your energy and space while you are following your own dreams and passions.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- “Change is one of the most difficult things we face, but change is inevitable.” - Hopsin
- “You have to stay open to what the universe is doing now, what worked five years ago isn’t going to work now.” - Hopsin
- “If you’re going to be successful, you have to be willing to change.” - Hopsin
- Change can bring about some really beautiful things.
- We do not get a refund or an exchange on time, so there should not be a moment in life that you aren’t living it to the fullest potential about the things you are passionate about.
- “The day that your eyes close, if you are able to count your true friends on one hand, you will be lucky. And if you can fill that hand you will be blessed.”

Today I’d like to welcome Zach Rocheleau, the CEO of the Flexible Dieting Lifestyle to the show! I invited Zach to the podcast because he has so much knowledge and value to share - in this episode, we talk a little about nutrition (surprisingly) and a LOT about life.
In this episode we talk about…
- Zach’s business, nutrition, and fitness adventure.
- The passion and ideas that make up Flexible Dieting Lifestyle.
- Future plans for Flexible Dieting Lifestyle.
- Becoming a lynchpin & finding out what schedule works best for you.
- Surrounding yourself with the right people.
Today we touch a little on nutrition - but really dive deep on the topic of life. It is so important to always have a growth mindset, being open to feedback, and able to evolve with the times. Zach understand the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people and then realizing that the feedback they give you, is only to help you grow and improve. Hear the value that others offer to you and then give your value back in exchange. It is so important to remember that we always have a choice and we are in control of our lives. Part of that control is finding a good routine that works for you and getting yourself into flow-state. Hit that flow-state and watch how quickly you grow and succeed!
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- I think the biggest thing is providing value, and not caring if people don’t fully understand it right away. Just continue to do it, be yourself, and you’ll attract the right people.
- I’m fascinated by the idea of nutritional freedom. I’m not fascinated by telling people what they can’t have - but all the things that they can.
- I want people to have that peace of mind that they are in control and that they understand the process of achieving nutritional freedom.
- If you are constantly in a position of growth - looking at ways to improve yourself so you cannot be replaced, that’s everything. Everything evolves, and you need to evolve with it.
- Nutrition allows you to live the life you want to live - it should be a tool that you use, but it shouldn’t be the end of the game.

Erin Diamond is an Online Business Boss! Erin joins me on the podcast today to talk about her original journey into the fitness world and how her passions changed overtime in how she wanted to serve the community. We dive into her business background and where she is at with her business now - discussing how her personal growth reshaped her passions and how scary it can be to try something different.
In this episode we talk about…
- Erin’s journey into fitness & business.
- Great coaches vs. average coaches - being the best you can be.
- Getting started as a health & fitness entrepreneur.
- Pursue your goals and passions - even if they change.
- Impacting lives, inside and outside of fitness.
The best thing you can do as an entrepreneur is find your out areas of genius, what you best at, and then decide how can you capitalize on those. That will help you determine where you can make the biggest positive impact and who you should serve. On the back end of that, know your own value and your own worth - invest in yourself and others will do the same. Remember that personal growth and change is important, it can be scary - but it is also totally worth it. Be authentic! It’s okay to show the world that not everything is perfect in your life, in fact it’s better if you show you aren’t perfect. It will help you connect with the right people for you. As your seasons of life change, so can your goals and passions - go with it. If your heart is telling you to pursue something different - be vulnerable and make that change. Learn about yourself, be open with yourself, be open with your clients and enjoy the growth that follows.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- Marketing is taught a lot, social media growth is taught a lot, and we are pumping out a lot of people who know how to market themselves but do they really know how to be a good coach?
- You need to be a couple steps ahead of the people that you’re teaching - but you don’t need to know everything when you get started.
- Learning that it is okay to expand and grow as a person and move into other ventures isn’t a bad thing - it’s part of life.
- Too often people get sucked into only seeing the “highlight reel” of social media and think that is reality when it’s not.
- In having a large social influence with the platform that you have, the best thing you can really do it connect with people. - that’s the best way to make a positive impact.

Caryn Nicole Paolini is an IFBB Bikini Pro, Chicago native, and founder/owner of Mind.Body.Life - a coaching program that helps women ditch the crazy “yo-yo” diets and their own self-doubts. Caryn has been doing bikini competitions for over 4 years now, but when she first started she really knew nothing about the competition world. Caryn wanted to look and feel her absolute best, and had no idea that the competition world was out there.
Throughout her competition journey, Caryn learned so much about herself, her body, and the importance of having balanced overall wellness. Competitive bodybuilding is a very addicting sport that many athletes get sucked into. Caryn has found a passion in helping other women prepare for their own shows, hit fitness goals, and feel their very best. But she also helps them to establish a healthy relationship with food and balance their overall health. Fitness competitions focus mainly on just that and do not always promote an overall healthy lifestyle. Caryn likes to see every challenge as both a blessing and a lesson - which is what led her to follow her happiness and newfound dream of being the best coach that she can be to her girls.
In this episode we talk about…
- Caryn’s fitness background.
- Lessons that Caryn has learned from competing for over 4 years and as a Pro.
- Following dreams and passions, how Caryn made the decision to step away from the stage and focus on her business.
- Maintaining a healthy balance overall, - being stage ready isn’t practical year round, how being fit and healthy are not mutually exclusive.
- Building healthy relationships with food and building your self-esteem.
- Quality over quantity - having a smaller group of followers that really resonate with and find value in Caryn’s message is more important than having a huge group of followers that don’t.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- When I got into bodybuilding, and got serious about going to the gym and what I was eating - I really did it for me.
- I saw the competitions as a new challenge, and I just went with it!
- Your reason why has to connect to a personal place, a place from within. You have to be in it for the right reasons, and doing it for you.
- I always try to look at things as both a blessing and a lesson.
- Competing is great and all, but it’s an extreme. We need to remember that this is a fitness competitions, it’s by no means a health competitions.

Today we discuss his background in the fitness world, bodybuilding as a sport, dedicating time and motivation to training while still holding onto personal relationships, and the lessons you can learn from competing in shows.
Daniel wasn’t always into fitness, but he did always have bodybuilders around to influence his eventual passion of the sport. Listen now to find out about Daniel’s first show and how that experience made him realize just how important it is to be real with yourself and those that surround and support you. Bodybuilding can be a selfish sport, but Daniel has found a way to work hard at his passion without completely sacrificing his personal relationships.

- Daniel’s background in the fitness and competition world.
- Getting in shape the proper way, staying away from extreme diets.
- Daniel’s experience in his first bodybuilding show.
- The biggest lessons Daniel learned after competing in his first show.
- Being real with yourself - we will always be our own worst critics, but we can just as easily fall victim to boosting ourselves up too much also.
- Finding the balance of your bodybuilding dedication and respecting the lives of those family and friends surrounding you. It can be a selfish sport.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- The influences of body building were always around me, and I really respected them - so I fell into body building that way.
- The show made it real - you learn so much about yourself!
- The people at the show were so supportive, everyone was just congratulating me for just being there.
- Balance is important, but to be great at anything, there have to be periods where things are unbalanced.

Brittany Flex is a Physique IFBB Pro and she is here to share some serious value when it comes to competing as a pro! Brittany had always been into sports and fitness as a child, but like a lot of us - let things get away from her a bit. She made the decision that she wanted to be a bodybuilder and compete in the physique category and has never looked back since. Brittany quit her “day-job” in the food/drink industry to follow her passion and get her to Pro level status. On top of competing, Brittany is a full time personal trainer who works out of a gym and also has private clients.
You can do anything you set your mind to, if you are willing to put in the work. Because if you want to do something that badly, then you will be willing to make the sacrifices necessary to get you to your goal! As long as you are getting better at each competition you attend, that is the goal to strive for. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t place where you wanted, and don’t leave the show after you’re done - watch the other contestants and soak in any knowledge you can! Remember - don’t waste your positive energy on someone else’s negative energy, it’s just not worth it. Especially with bodybuilding being a male dominant industry, you’ve got to let your positivity, beauty, and muscle shine while also supporting the other women around you!
In this episode we talk about…
- Brittany’s journey into competitive fitness.
- Brittany’s passion behind competing and picking the physique category.
- Following your passion and dreams in life.
- Putting in the work - you can do anything you want in life, but you’ve got to be willing to work for it.
- Prepping for shows and treating yourself afterwards.
- Getting to the pro level doesn’t mean things will be handed to you.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- Competing is supposed to be fun, but it’s a character building sport for sure.
- As long as you’re improving with every show, that is all that matters.
- Being at pro level doesn’t make you any better, you still have to work just as hard.
- You still have to put in the time, you still have to put in the work - it doesn’t just get handed to you.
- Be whatever it is you want to be, you have the potential to do anything you want to do - you just have to put in the work.

Steve Shaw - Editorial Director with Tiger Fitness, author, motivator, and passion seeking powerlifter! Steve started his fitness journey early on, and even got so into powerlifting that he ended up not finishing his college education. But that hasn’t stopped Steve from finding his passion, following new passions, and helping others to find freedom within their lives.
The motivation to stay on track isn’t always going to be there, and your dreams, passions, and paths do change. It is important to be receptive of your path changes, and passion changes - just because you’re on a different path than originally planned doesn’t mean you won’t be successful or feel unfulfilled. Give yourself the freedom to wake up in the morning and do whatever it is that you want to do while still tapping into the motivation to hit all your goals!
In this episode we talk about…
- Steve’s fitness journey and his story about joining Tiger Fitness.
- Finding your passions, following your passions, and enjoying life.
- Helping people through life and our own journeys with them.
- Steve’s book, Massive Iron, and his writing journey.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- Your journey may shift, but you can still end up very fulfilled. What you may think will be your path can easily change, and being open and receptive to that change can lead to greater things.
- You have to give yourself the freedom to get up everyday and do whatever it is you want to do.
- True freedom isn’t limiting yourself on a daily basis.
- You either need to do the right thing, or be a quitter.
- Health isn’t health if it kills you, strength isn’t strength if it kills you.

Welcome back to another solo episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio - where I am here to provide you with more valuable information to help you along your fitness journey. Today I’m going to talk to you about what you should be doing after you finish a cutting phase or diet phase.
If you don’t end a cutting phase with either reverse dieting or going to a new estimated maintenance calorie intake - you might end up gaining a lot more weight than you want to. You don’t want to gain back all of the weight that you’ve lost in your diet phase and possibly even more, which is why you have to really take a look at what to do when you’re coming off that diet phase. That essentially leaves you with two options, reverse diets or new maintenance calories.
Without a goal in mind after your diet phase, it can be really easy to slip back to your normal eating habits and gaining a lot of weight and fat really fast. Without another goal to hold you accountable it can be a little too easy to add the pounds back on. Which is why I am here today to tell you about reverse dieting and new maintenance approach.
In this episode we talk about…
- Reverse Dieting
- What you should be doing after you finish your cutting phase or diet phase.
- Reverse diets and maintenance calories.
- Why “fad-diets” and “quick-fix” diets don’t really work for many people.
- Holding yourself accountable after a diet-phase to reverse yourself out slowly and safely.
- Metabolic adaptations.
- Whether reverse metabolism or new maintenance calories might be the better option for you.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- Think of reverse dieting like climbing a mountain. If you’re climbing up a mountain for your diet, once you get up there you have to take steps backwards to get back to your baseline.
- With no goal in mind after you’re done dieting, there is nothing to hold you accountable to sticking to that diet calories or meal plans - which can be mentally challenging.
- Metabolism is unique and each person’s metabolism is different than the next person. So what you want to do and how you want to reverse out of your diet is different than how others want to reverse out of theirs, and that’s okay. It depends on what is right for you!
- Pick the one that makes sense for you, that you think you can stick to, and what you think might be the better one for you and your body.

Chad Groeling - don’t let anything get in your way! Chad is a SLAP nutrition athlete that finds the time to balance a full time job and parenting his young daughter. The only thing holding you back from making the changes in your life, is to flip the switch do it! Once you set your mind to it and fall into a regime/routine - you can achieve anything.
Goals, both big and small - can be achieved with one mindset switch. There are challenges, roadblocks, and sometimes big changes that must be made - but if you really set your mind to it, nothing can stop you. Never forget that this mindset shift goes for both fitness related goals and not fitness related goals - if you want to make a change in your life or lifestyle - you can do it!
In this episode we talk about…
- Chad’s journey into fitness and the fitness competition world.
- Balancing your work life, home life, and fitness life.
- Making the decision to change can be as easy as switching a flip - like when Chad quit smoking.
- Pushing forward in his fitness journey after being diagnosed with AS.
- Never give up.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- Once you get into your routine, it’s just second nature.
- I’m very transparent, I don’t sugar coat things, and I tell it like it is.
- This is a lifestyle for me, even when I stop competing, I’m still going to live this lifestyle because I enjoy it and it’s ingrained in me.
- The only way I’ll continue to grow if is I do things that are outside of my comfort zone.

Chris Ruden is the only 7 fingered, type 1 diabetic powerlifter - and boy does he have some seriously fantastic advice when it comes to setting goals and making changes in your life. Chris’s motto is all limitations are self-imposed and his attitude falls along the lines of “tell me what I can’t do, and I’ll go out and do it better.” If you’ve ever struggled with creating opportunities or goals for yourself - get out a pen and some paper, because you’ll want to take notes for this episode!
The only thing you can control in life is how you react to it. Understanding that gives you the power to change the things that you can and positively respond to the things you cannot. You can create so many opportunities for yourself with this mindset. It’s also okay to be emotional - all goals have an “emotional hot button” attached to them, that is what drives you to complete the goal. Vulnerability isn’t weakness, fear is weakness. The only limitations you face, are ones you impose on yourself. Break free and focus on how you can do it instead of how you can’t!
In this episode we talk about…
- Chris’s journey into fitness and his personal struggles
- Making opportunities for yourself.
- Control how you react to the good and the bad, how you react can guide you.
- Making yourself opportunities whenever and however you can
- Circle of concern vs circle of influence.
- Perspective is key
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- You can’t control everything, actually you can only control one thing - how you react.
- I found my opportunity through my obstacle.
- The opportunities that are given to you, are given to you because you decide to create them - they are not just handed out.
- All limitations are self-imposed.
- You have to be selfish in order to be selfless.

Today I’m going to chat with you about the “Love Triangle” between balance, greatness, happiness. You can achieve happiness being through either balance or greatness, but you can’t have both balance and greatness at the same time. Equally distributing your efforts to maintain balance in life may bring you happiness, but also mean that you are not truly great at any one particular thing.
You don’t achieve greatness through being average - greatness requires at least some level of being unbalanced because you’re putting more effort into that one thing than you are the rest of the areas in your life. Think “Jack of all trades, master of none.” It’s important to remember that being great at something (especially something that you don’t truly love) won’t always bring happiness. And being completely balanced in life also doesn’t mean that you’ll find happiness because then you aren’t dedicating yourself to your passion.
The problem with these three things - balance, greatness, happiness - is that none of them are tangible. They are emotional states that can be defined differently by different individuals. So you have to find your own definitions for these items and then find a way to create a delicate unison between them to feel fulfilled.
In this episode we talk about…
- The Love Triangle of Balance, Greatness, and Happiness.
- Can have balance and happiness, or greatness and happiness - but not all three.
- Finding balance or greatness does not guarantee happiness.
- These definitions are based upon perspective, they are subjective to each individual.
- Mapping out your own definitions and priorities to find your own happiness.
- Being real with yourself about what you’re willing to invest to hit certain results
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- Being great at something requires a level of unbalance, a level of dedication, and a level of sacrifice.
- Your definition of these things - balance, greatness, happiness - should be something as unique to you as your DNA.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed and under supported? I’ve been there too, but I’ve found that when you meet a challenge head on, that can be one of the best ways to grow. Having a support network is a great thing, we all should strive for that and not be afraid to reach out when we need to. Another thing that is just as important though, is the ability to figure things out on your own when you have to.
You might feel like you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel sometimes, and that’s okay - it just means you aren’t close enough to the end yet, but at least you aren’t at the beginning. Having a plan of your own and a support group to reach out to can absolutely get you through some of the hardest times.
In this episode we talk about…
-
Why having a good support network is important.
-
We can’t do everything on our own, even if we think we can. It’s okay to ask for help.
-
Have the ability to know that you can deal with things on your own when needed.
-
Don’t over rely on support, you can’t get to the point that you don’t challenge yourself because you are dependent on others support.
- Nobody can truly put themselves in your shoes, but that doesn’t mean we can’t help each other through support.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
-
In that moment, I had one of two options. I could throw my hands in the air, give up, and decide that’s it. Or I could figure it out.
-
Be confident in the ability to handle yourself if needed.
-
I had that adversity but I also had the drive. I knew that I would be okay, no matter how the chips fell.
