If you’ve ever felt torn between doing real coaching and chasing the next shiny promise, this conversation will feel like a deep breath. We unpack the journey from a high-paying finance gig to the gym floor and into building a no-fluff education event designed for the most neglected crowd in fitness: coaches with a few years of experience who want practical solutions, not sales scripts. Along the way, we get brutally honest about risk, debt, burnout, and the grind it takes to stick around long enough to get good at this work.

We break down the myths that keep clients stuck and trainers spinning. Fat loss isn’t driven by lifting alone; nutrition and intentional cardio move the needle while strength training protects muscle and confidence. Compliance is the science, so the plan has to fit the person’s bandwidth, not the other way around. You’ll hear simple, effective ways to teach intensity, set expectations, and offer clear choices that give clients autonomy—drop calories, add cardio, or both—while cutting out the jargon that loses people. We also get into sensitive, high-interest topics the right way: how to talk about GLP-1s and peptides within scope, coach women through menopause and PCOS, and program around pain without pretending to diagnose.

We also spotlight the Real Coaches Summit in Las Vegas, a two-and-a-half-day, CEU-eligible event built around applied talks you can use the next morning: hypertrophy programming, client compliance, deadlift mechanics, lab literacy, emotional eating strategies, and more. It’s education you can trust, plus the networking that only happens face to face—new peers, new podcasts, and the validation that you’re not doing this alone.

If you’re ready to trade optimization noise for outcomes, tap play, share this with a coach who needs it, and join us in Vegas. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell us the one skill you’re committed to simplifying for your clients this month.
