O23 Instagram got Hacked and Deleted… Here’s what happened, what we’re doing, and how you can help.
Normally you’d be hearing about this new podcast on our main IG Page @o23_holistic_systems…
But not this time, and likely never again.
Our O23 IG account that we’ve been actively building for over 3 years, got hacked and deleted over the weekend.
This is obviously a challenge for an online business that uses this platform to push forward and stay a float, but we’re using this as an opportunity to take a step back and challenge the status quo of what is seen as “normal” and “business as usual” in the online education space.
Listen to this podcast to hear all about what happened, the exciting ideas we’re having (that may include not going back on IG…), and what you can do to help us keep this mission alive in the short term.
Please share this with your friends and anyone who you think may be interested in the work we’re doing at O23.
We appreciate everyone’s support as we navigate this challenging time!
On Ep7, Jordan sits down and Interviews Jack Zehler and Melissa Dixon. Both coaches at @FitTownJupiter, a former CrossFit gym turned health facility in Jupiter Florida.
Melissa and Jack are current students of our Holistic Lifestyle Specialist Level 2 Experience Certification, and on this episode they share:
👉 The struggles they were facing within their coaching career while focusing primarily on fitness.
👉 Why O23 Holistic Lifestyle Coaching seemed like the best next step.
👉 Where they’ve seen the most growth for themselves through this process.
👉 What they’re most excited about for the future of themselves and their clients based on the new skills they’ve acquired through the L2 certification experience.
If you’re a fitness coach who feels like you have a calling to do more than just help people get sweaty and add a few pounds to their backsquat, and want to be people with the things that matter most in their lives, then this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
O23 Holistic Lifestyle Specialists are drastically increasing the scope, and pushing the limits on what’s possible for a coach, and Jack and Melissa are bright examples of it happening in real time.
If this resonates with you, reach out to find out more about our FREE Holistic Lifestyle Specialist Level 1 Experience, and see if it would be the right next move for you.

Last week Jordan competed at the CanWest Games Crossfit Competition and had a great showing.
Fitness was done, but the real takeaways went way beyond any physical aspect you would typically expect from competitive exercise racing.
We decided the best way to explore it all was to hit the record button and unpack it all live for you to hear! We’re certainly not going through an event breakdown or talking about burpees and snatches….
We’re going deep into the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual connection of fitness and competition.
- How to orient your mind to maximize your potential Being all in on winning by focusing on the present moment
- Dealing with adversity and THRIVING
- Ditching positive and negative thinking, and replacing it with the best mental model for success
- Being genuinely happy with yourself and proud of output, while still being insatiably hungry for more
- The connection between spirituality and competition/fitness
This is a must listen for anyone who is competitive in any part of life, or anyone who is generally looking for a way to orient their mind to be as successful as possible in whatever they do

This is from the vault. It's a story told by Brian during an early version of our program that gives an in-depth explanation of the path that lead to the birth of O23 and how it almost never happened.
When Brian first told this story, it was the first time he had ever shared it. It took a lot to share it, for fear of what people may say or think, and bc of that he only shared it with the early members of the program.
This is the first time the story is ever shared publicly.
It brings together the backstory of the Intuitive Living principles taught in our program why we believe that it "all starts with Spirit".
The first half of the episode sets the context and gives a background on our beliefs, then Brian shares the story that ties it all together.
Be ready to go deep this week!

We cover a lot of ground in our course. A LOT.
We cover food, sleep, movement, and mindset like no one else, meaning we take it to a different level with everything from light health, to meditation, to disease prevention, to intuition and so on.
However, it's all built upon the base of these 3 main principles.
These unbreakable laws that lay the foundation of our entire system.
In this episode, the O23 Team break them down 1 by 1 in detail!
Today we are going to talk about 2 words that great Coaches are getting exploring more and more, and are changing the landscape of the Fitness and Coaching industry.
If you understand what these terms really mean, and use them confidently in your coaching practice….your clients and potential clients will assume that you are a professional, and they’ll be right.
These 2 words scare a lot of Coaches, so much so that they will go to lengths to not use them at all. But Coaches that are starting to see their business and practice through this lens are evolving into the next wave of Health and Fitness leaders in our industry.
The first word is SUFFERING, the second word is HEALING.
This might be the most important podcast episode you'll listen to this year.
Host: @bcostello____

This word gets thrown around quite a bit, but rarely does anyone actually take a close look at what it really means, how to truly identify if it exists, and what to do if it does not.
On this episode, Brian and Matt take a DEEP dive into the idea of TRUE balance, yin/yang, masculine/feminine, and of course how it ties into our everyday lifestyle very simply.
The boys break it down in a way that you've never heard, and draw some hard connections between ancient principles and our modern societal views around food, sleep, movement, and mindset.
This is a CAN'T MISS episode you'll want to listen to a few times.

Earlier this Fall, the O23 Team set out on an all-day solo wilderness retreat. A 10hr day from Sunrise to Sunset with no phone, no food, no distractions of any kind. Just alone in the woods with their own thoughts. After they each completed the "Soul Wander" in their own separate locations, they came together to share their experience and help prepare the Coaches in the O23 Mentorship for a Soul Wander of their own. The boys share some deep reflections of their time out in the woods, and even some wild instances of "communicating" with each other from afar.

There's a huge gap in the world of health. We have tens of thousands of Coaches who help people take the first steps towards health - exercise, then we have tens of thousands of Doctors who help people when they are hurt, sick, or dis-eased.
What happens in between?
What about that huge gap between starting our health journey and curing the diseased?
Who fills the gap?
The health of our society is abysmal. Fitness Coaches are some of the greatest health leaders in the world, and have more influence than they realize.
They also have clients who need their help...and fast.
If they don't step up to start solving bigger problems, who will?
In the first inaugural episode of O23 Radio, Coach Jordan interviews Brian on his backstory in the industry and how it ultimately lead him to creating a tribe of health revolutionists all over the country that are changing the game.
The fitness landscape is changing....big time. Providing a fun place to breath and sweat is no longer the missing piece in our clients lives.
Fitness is expanding beyond the gym walls and the best Coaches in the industry are stepping up in big ways to provide more for their clients, and cement their position as experts in the world of health.
