I break down the 4-week challenge we’re running at Bar Raising Fitness and explain why simple, daily non-negotiables are one of the most effective ways to build momentum, discipline, and confidence.

We’ll walk through the daily standards for the challenge, what’s off the table for four weeks, and the 4 C’s to Success — Commitment, Consistency, Confidence, and Courage — and how they apply to any goal you’re chasing this year.

With the holidays wrapping up and the new year approaching, I wanted to share a short, simple episode focused on three things that, if you commit to them, will absolutely improve the quality of your life.

A short, timely episode on doing the right thing — especially with the holidays coming up. From basic manners to personal accountability, this is a reminder that small actions and high standards still matter.

In today's episode, I continue to dive into my story of starting Bar Raising Fitness and how an opportunity came for me to open our first training facility, just months after starting in my garage.

In today’s episode, I continue the story of how Bar Raising Fitness started and how a few unexpected opportunities helped me expand beyond my garage and begin building real momentum.

I talk about the early days, the small wins, the challenges, and the moments that pushed BRF forward when most people would have quit. These were the steps that helped me grow my reach, gain clients, and slowly turn a dream into something real.

In today’s episode, I go back to the early days of Bar Raising Fitness and share what it really looked like when I first got started — long before I had a plan, experience, or the “perfect conditions.”
This is the story of how BRF began inside a small one-car garage with used equipment, cheap flooring, and a whole lot of belief… and why getting started before I was ready changed everything.

Here is a link to view photos of what the garage gym looked like:

In this episode, I share the story of a mountain man whose words completely shifted my perspective on life. It forced me to ask why I was letting stress, past mistakes, and other people’s opinions control my happiness and mental state. Sometimes all it takes is one moment to wake up and realize what truly matters — and what doesn’t. This conversation changed the way I live.

This episode is about a conversation I had the other day with a gas station employee that really hit me and made me stop and think. It wasn’t planned, it wasn’t expected — but it was powerful.
It reminded me how important our health is, how short life can be, and why taking care of yourself and fighting for your life matters.

I wanted to share that moment with you today, because I believe someone out there needs to hear it.

Thank you for listening — and if this episode hits home, please share it with someone who might need it.
Until next time — keep living the standard.
