Self Realisation - "fulfillment by oneself of the possibilities of one's character or personality"
A topic that is widely spoken about but never really understood by many people. It's always nice to speak about these things but what's frustrating for the listener is that it's never explained properly (well, in our opinion!).
This conversation with Dr. Jordan Shallow will leave you walking away form this episode understanding what it means to realise the endlessly possibilities of your life with the amazing qualities that we all have.
Don't doubt yourself for a second. Don't second guess your ability at all. Be fearless in your approach to life but be REAL with yourself as well.

Bodybuilding is more than just a sport to Justin Wessels. It's a way of life.
This man is regarded by many one of the countries best bodybuilders. His work ethic is second to no one. His discipline is unwavering but what we love most is his incredible humility. We love how he thinks about training and how the mindset around training is heavily relatable to all aspects of life.
We spoke about all things training in this episode but one of the main things we spoke about were the ups and downs in his career and how he bounced back from the low times. The insight into a professional bodybuilders mindset is a thing of beauty. From the attitude to the complete honesty with himself, Justin explains for us just how he went about all aspects of his daily routines whenever he would prep for a show.
He isn't anything different from an ordinary man, but what makes him so great is his unwavering and relentless hard work and dedication to creating the best version of himself.
He is a true champion whether it be on the bodybuilding stage or as a father and husband.

This episode was a special one. We speak again with our great friend Kyle Traynor. Kyle is someone that we love speaking to because of his authentic nature. He is real. The topics of 'Gym Culture' and 'Internal Stability' are two very different topics but they interrelate more than we know. The idea that a gym can have a strong uplifting culture and that the culture plays a major role in why a business like Platinum Training Academy can survive the COVID-19 lockdown is something that I will always be proud of.
The fact that this same culture has such a positive impact on an individuals internal stability and challenges that person to be better and live to higher standards is what has saved many people from making huge mistakes with their lives. It's very odd that a gym of all places can have this impact on it's clients/members, but we are very aware of the positive impact that we have on our people.
We encourage you to listen to this episode with an open heart and mind so that you can hear the messages that we are giving.
