Take Care Radio

At the heart of it, this is really a personal development podcast, and one thing that people are really searching for right now in the scope of personal development is how to stop overthinking. I use…

If you’ve heard even one episode of this podcast, you’ll know how much I dislike personality tests, and that’s being generous. People are notoriously bad at self-awareness, and therefore can never ac…

One of the key tenets of coaching and leadership is being able to communicate clearly and effectively. In all communication, especially as leader, there are 3 laws we need to take into account when i…

Being likable is one of the most powerful and effective coaching strategies, and one of the best ways to improve your likability is by becoming a great question asker. When we get better at asking qu…

I’ve thought a lot about developing a process for impacting and influencing people that coaches could master and become great facilitators for change, and while I might not know the whole roadmap yet…

It’s a brand new year, and we’re still out here recording pods. Last week, I talked about setting goals, but the flip side of that, and what I’m talking about this week, is changing the bad habits an…

We’re just days away from my favorite (and possibly the most controversial) holiday: New Year’s Day. You know I’m big on self-reflection and goal setting, and now is the perfect time to do it, contra…

Ever wondered what the secret sauce of great coaching is? Are honesty, good intentions, and challenging dialogue all essential ingredients? Join us as we, seasoned coaches and close friends, put our …

Even the best-of-the-best coaches only succeed in client transformation 40% of the time. If the highest performers still fail to keep clients compliant over half the time, then knowing the right way …

There’s a paradox we all face when it comes to confidence: we think that if we have confidence, we can avoid the negative experiences in life like anxiety, fear, or even failure, yet in order to buil…

When you work with people, no amount of well-intentioned logic gets you results every time. As a fitness professional, you have all the right answers to your clients problems—eat lean protein and veg…

I’m notorious for hating personality tests. Humans are infamously terrible at self-awareness, and personality tests become an excuse for people to act like the most base-version of themselves without…

Within every conversation had with our clients, we move either towards trust or away from it. You know by now that building trust with your clients is the single-most important thing you can do to ma…

Our sense of trust in the world and the people around us is decaying—rapidly. We don’t trust anyone or anything, not information sources, institutions, our employers, not even our neighbors. But on a…

Coaching, in essence, is relationship building. The relationships that we have with our clients will constantly be changing and it’s so easy to get distracted by the urgency of the moment that we for…

Despite everyone’s best intentions, physical health in the United States keeps declining, but why is that? Our brains are evolutionarily wired to trap us within the Scarcity Loop—a trigger for impuls…

Got a two-fold episode for you today, the first part being a recap of my summer trip with my wife, Kelsey, and the second part a little education on why you’re probably not as good of a listener as y…

There’s this pervasive belief that more always equals better. In a study (you know I love my studies) done out of the University of Virginia, participants almost unanimously added items, steps, and i…

It’s been a minute since I’ve had a guest on the pod, so I’m more than a little excited to have Kaycee Thompson on Take Care today. Kaycee isn’t a coach, but she has an expertise I think we can all b…

So many of our struggles in life come from a lack of certainty—in who we are, and what we want. Clarity allows us to move forward with purpose and conviction, and one of my favorite tools to achieve …
