Ep 72: Don't Bend Ya Back

Ep 72: Don't Bend Ya Back

This episode is a straight rant about the absolute lack of care about proper form in the gym. Really isn't much more to say in here. If you are in the gym, or performing any kind of exercise, I strongly suggest you pay attention to your form. Your body will thank you.

Ep71: Just Beat It Or Don't

I'm back with a slightly different format but I'm definitely back. In this episode I go over a practice that I'm sure everyone that will listen to this has indulged in; masturbation. Not the prettiest of topics but it's rather interesting, to me at least.

Ep70 - This Is How I look Inward Honestly

Ep70 - This Is How I look Inward Honestly

The first half of this year has been full of stress let me tell you but as the second half begins, I'm going into it with a clear mind through some really uncomfortable introspection, some of which I share with you as to how I actually get it done. Also apologies about the fan I cut out as much as I could but its hot as hell right now. I hope by listening to this I can help someone on their journey to becoming a better person.

69: Into The Industry Ft Coach Josh Evans

Fitness has been a very big part of my life for the last 4 years and believe me when I tell you I may hate being sore but did not regret a single workout. I've been following Josh on social media for years and I was excited to talk to him about his journey. Head over to this pages and show some love.

Discovering simple facts of life I'm sure you guys been using all your life. The path of a late bloomer but seriously I've just been making decisions and doing things. Funny how the super thinker that is myself functions better when I don't think about it too much. I suppose that's how life works right?

S2 Ep1: Doing All The Things

When I started this podcast I just sent it to my friends because I was very insecure about it but over time I started to see a vision for it. In an effort to reach this vision, I have to do more, I to put myself in as many places as possible to be seen. With that being said this episode and the others to come will all be on Youtube as well.

Ep 60: We Are Free..... Kinda (Barbados)

After being under heavy restrictions for about a month, my mind and my finances are struggling a little but we must stay strong because there are better days ahead. The gyms are still closed, I say this multiple times because it hurts, literally. I also introduce the community I'm building separately from the podcast but still is a part of the vision of helping people get through things and achieve a level of wellness we can all aspire to. For more information on that send me a dm on Instagram.

Ep58: This Is How You Keep Your Relationship Going

Firstly let me apologise for the late episode, I got hit with inspiration late, I didn't have time to edit and upload. With that out of the way, I'm back with another simple but highly overlooked idea for you; instead of approaching your relationships looking for intensity, how about you focus on the consistency of the day to day things? How about building relationships based on consistency?

Ep 57: How To Create Good Habits

You know I've never really seen it online or never really given it much thought. So I decided to figure how to do it and I tested how one creates a habit. This one was pretty thought invoking and as per usual it's not particularly complex so much so that you'd just kind of overlook it.

Hi, Hello! We all get down in the dumps at times, we all feel like failures from time to time, so in this one I'm getting vulnerable with you; sharing my struggle with these feelings and how I managed to win this particular battle. I hope that you can take something away from this and overcome your own battles.

Ep 55: Just Do It! (No Nike)

As you can probably tell I did a bit of rebranding (again) for the podcast and the social media, whilst the content was solid, the packaging definitely wasn't that good. It's like having an amazing piece of chocolate but wrapped in an ugly wrapper, you are less likely to want it. I know I needed to take a different approach with it but I was tuck on the thinking part, but eventually I just said eff it and just did what needed to be done. So in this episode we go over why you should just start.

If there's something you've been working; a project, your body, your mind, school and you've reached your goal, Flex! There's absolutely nothing wrong with showing how proud you are of yourself, nothing wrong with posting it on your social media, there's nothing wrong with flexing.

The Nice Guy Trap

The Nice Guy Trap

Listen this one hits so close to home that it almost hurts. I'm a nice guy, there's been instances where I've used it as a weapon, as a means to an end, which honestly in turn would make you think was I really a nice guy? Ever had a nice guy guilt trip you into a relationship or a situation? Yeah that's the nice guy trap and that's what I'm going over in today's episode.

This Is Basically Sexual

This Is Basically Sexual

In this episode I talk to you guys about my basically sexually obsession with challenge, especially when it comes to fitness. What I'm trying to outline to you guys is that challenge and adversity is literally the catalyst for growth and change. You don't have to do it to the level I do it because I'm sick but find something challenging, find a way to beat it and feel that rush of victory. One thing I will say is; when it comes fitness the amount of work you put in directly corelates to the results unlike a lot of things.

Skin Care For Mental Health

Skin Care For Mental Health

Yeah I know the title seems strange but stick with me and I'll explain why taking this part of your life out of automation can really go a long way towards a healthier mental state. I never much cared for skin care, in fact I believed it was only for women and pretty boys. In true Michael fashion I managed to turn something simple for most into some kind of way to promote my mental health.

Am I Actually A Child?

Am I Actually A Child?

With the gross amount of time I've had, I've had plenty of time look inward at things I can improve whilst I'm on this journey of mine. I also had a few conversations with a particular young lady about a lot of different things, we even touched on finance. I saw how she has hers more or less in order, her back isn't up against a wall. That got me thinking about how I handle my own finances and hoe ignorant I've been over the years. I was like "Damn! Am I actually a big ass kid?". Hence this episode, you never know where inspiration comes from.
