Episode Description In this episode of Unleash the Ultimate You: Change Your Mindset, Change Your Body, I sit down with Kevin Davis, founder of Maxed Out Man, to talk about what it really looks like to build a strong life as a man—faith first, marriage second, and everything else after that. We get into training principles, building a marriage that improves with time, the empty-nest transition, and the realities of entrepreneurship and real estate in today's market. Kevin also opens up about his experience with TRT, how it impacted his life, and we wrap this section by stepping into peptides and recovery tools like BPC-157 and TB-500. Memorable Quotes "If you've watched Yellowstone, it's nothing like that. We kill slightly fewer people than on the show." "If you're successful in business, but your wife misses you and you're 25 pounds overweight, we know what to work on." "It's better than it was yesterday, but it's not as good as it'll be tomorrow." "God, wife, family—then everything else." "I don't ask myself if I'm going to work out. It's when am I going to work out today?" "We work out every morning together… we noticed when we worked out separately, there was a disconnect." "Most couples put their emotional energy into their kids and forget they'll be married longer than they have children in the house." "TRT literally changed my life." "If you're at 250–350 and you feel like crap… and a doctor says that's normal—find another doctor." "If you're on video games more than an hour a day at the sacrifice of your health, family, and growth—change that."

🎧 EPISODE DESCRIPTION About a year ago, I went through something I never expected: addiction.

Change Your Body. Welcome everybody to another episode of Unleash Your Ultimate You: Change Your Mindset, Change Your Body. Today, I'm doing something a little different. This is a solo episode. I've wanted to do a solo episode for a while now because I really wanted to dive in and give you practical tips—real, usable strategies—for health and fitness. And today, we're talking about New Year's resolutions. Yeah… the dreaded New Year's resolution. Most people make them. Most people don't follow through. And in the health and fitness industry, this is huge. January rolls around, gyms love it. Why? Because people sign up, pay their monthly membership… and then don't show up. That's great for the gym. Not so great for the person paying for it. They literally bank on you quitting. I want to flip that script. I want to help you stay consistent. The January Trap Here's what usually happens: You make the resolution. You're fired up. You've got the new shoes you got for Christmas. New workout outfit. New membership. You're posting on Facebook, Instagram—"I'm all in." Week one? You're on fire. You honestly think, "This is the time. This one's going to stick." Then… life happens. One little thing shows up that throws you off. Maybe it snows. Maybe you're tired. Maybe motivation drops. And by the way—motivation is overrated. Motivation is great in the beginning. Discipline and habits are what actually matter. Motivation fades—especially when you're on your own. So what do you do next? Fitness Has No Finish Line This is something I talk about early in my book. Fitness isn't about crushing massive goals right out of the gate. It's about building small habits. When clients come in, they're excited. They want to dive in hard. They also think there's a destination. There isn't. Fitness is like a relationship. You don't "finish" it. The goal is to build a healthy relationship—with your body, your mind, and your food. When those align, results follow. Even the way you talk to yourself matters. The First Habit: Just Show Up Here's the first thing I tell clients: Just show up. That's it. I don't even want more than 30 minutes. Walk on the treadmill. Do a few machines. It might be sloppy. That's fine. The goal is consistency, not perfection. So how do we make that easier? Make the Habit Obvious Small changes matter. Keep your gym shoes by the door Keep workout clothes in your car Extra water bottle in the car Extra headphones (lock them in the trunk) Remove friction. The easier you make it, the more likely it happens. "I Don't Have Time" You don't find time. You schedule it. Things that are planned happen more often than things that aren't. Write it down. "I am going to the gym tomorrow at 8:00 AM." Put it in your calendar. Your success rate jumps from maybe 30–40%… to 80% or higher. That's a massive difference. Nutrition: The Hard Part Most people struggle with food. Here's a simple rule: Remove temptation. Get the junk food out of your house. Not because food is evil—but because habits are powerful. Your brain doesn't know good habits from bad habits. It just wants what it's used to. So remove the trigger. But here's the key—you must replace it. You can't leave a void. That's how relapse happens. Parties, Social Events & Balance "But Gordon, I like parties." Good. You should. Here's the rule: Eat clean most days. Enjoy yourself at events. But take half of what you normally would. Same food. Smaller portions. That one habit alone works wonders over time. Stop Thinking Short-Term People overestimate what they can do in a short time and underestimate what they can do in a year. You don't get rich overnight. You don't get healthy overnight. Habits take time. Some say 21 days. Some say six months. What matters is repetition. Language Matters Let's change the words you use. Stop saying: "I can't" "I'm trying" "Trying" gives you an exit. Instead: "I am a lifter." "I eat healthy." "I train." Once you lift weights—you're a weightlifter. Identity drives behavior. Final Takeaways Show up Remove friction Remove temptation Replace bad habits Schedule success Use definitive language Small changes, repeated daily, compound into big results. That's how real change happens. Thanks for listening. I'll see you next week on Unleash Your Ultimate You. Change your mindset. Change your body.

🎙️ Episode 22: "Robby D'Angelo — Reprogram Your Mind for Greatness" 🔥 Summary In this episode, Gordon sits down with performance coach and mindset strategist Robby D'Angelo to unpack the real mechanics behind personal transformation — how to rewire your thinking, break toxic cycles, and create lasting success from the inside out. They dive deep into what separates those who say they want change from those who live it: self-awareness, emotional regulation, and identity design. Robby shares how trauma and environment shape your subconscious programming — and how you can rewrite that code through intention, consistency, and radical responsibility. This isn't surface-level motivation. It's about taking ownership of your internal narrative so your actions finally align with your goals. Together, they explore the intersection of neuroscience, personal growth, and spiritual alignment — giving listeners a blueprint to build unshakable discipline, confidence, and peace. By the end, you'll understand that transformation isn't about becoming someone new — it's about remembering who you were before the world told you who to be. ⏱️ Timestamped Outline 00:00 – 03:00 | The Power of Awareness Robby opens with how awareness is the first step to change — you can't fix what you don't face. They discuss the mental "autopilot" that most people live in and how to break out of it. 03:00 – 08:00 | Programming the Subconscious Mind They explore how early conditioning and limiting beliefs keep people stuck. Robby shares how he helps clients identify mental viruses and reframe their stories. 08:00 – 12:00 | Emotional Fitness Gordon and Robby dive into emotional regulation — how mastering emotions is more important than chasing motivation. They talk about tools like breathwork, journaling, and visualization. 12:00 – 16:00 | The Identity Shift Robby breaks down why goals fail without identity change. They unpack the psychology of self-image and how to act "as if" until it becomes who you are. 16:00 – 20:00 | Alignment and Action The episode closes with a conversation on living in alignment — where your habits, beliefs, and values finally match your mission. Robby leaves listeners with a challenge: act from your future self every day. 💬 Standout Quotes "Awareness is the ignition point of transformation — you can't change what you won't confront." "Your subconscious runs the show 95 percent of the time. If you don't program it on purpose, it'll run on old pain." "Emotional regulation is a superpower. When you master your emotions, you master your direction." "You don't get the life you want — you get the life that matches your identity." "The goal isn't to become someone else; it's to strip away everything that's not truly you." ⚔️ Final Message This episode is about warrior consciousness — building mental armor not to block emotion, but to channel it. Robby reminds us that the greatest battles aren't fought in the gym or the boardroom… they're fought in the mind. And once you master that battlefield, everything else falls into place. ROBBY D'ANGELO Bio The Mission The mission is to guide ambitious high-performing men through the critical years to avoid the fall and step into their power as UNDENIABLE leaders using his proven FORGE Framework. As a high-performance strategist, men's transformation coach, and serial entrepreneur, Robby dedicates his life to helping high-achieving men unlock their Faith Fueled potential to live with purpose, prosperity, power, and peace. The Man Behind the Mission Robby knows rock bottom intimately. He once weighed 300 pounds, built what looked like success on paper, but ended up homeless and broken. He chased every vice and sedation behavior while his true calling remained buried under layers of performance and empty accomplishment. The transformation came when he stopped running from God and started running toward His design for men. Robby rebuilt completely, developing multiple successful ventures while discovering the integration of peak performance science with biblical truth. A former athlete who shed 100 pounds, he embodies the grit and mindset shifts necessary for lasting change. Founder of Undeniable Men. Former All-American athlete. Serial entrepreneur. Award-winning mental optimization coach who only preaches what he's practiced. What Makes Him Different Most coaches wait for crisis. Robby catches men early who look successful but feel spiritually flat inside. These are men who provide for families but struggle to be present, who lead in business but lack clarity on their true mission. He catches them before the fall. His approach is preventative. He helps men avoid the prodigal years by building their foundation on biblical truth from the start. Through his award-winning coaching and the Undeniable Men movement, he combines a decade of peak performance strategies with battle-tested spiritual principles. Real Results Your Audience Craves "You need to write a book. You unleashed something in me, Robby." That's what a client told him after experiencing complete mental freedom and finally executing the vision trapped in his head for years. Robby's clients don't improve incrementally. They quantum leap. One founder is simultaneously gaining freedom from exhausting day-to-day operations while executing a strategy that will multiply revenue by four times over two years. Another client doubled business revenue in one year while transforming from fear-based thinking into a fulfilling relationship. The FORGE Framework Robby specializes in performance engineering through his signature FORGE Framework, targeting the silent crisis plaguing high-achievers: the absence of clarity and purpose that quietly robs men of true power. By power, he speaks of a man's capacity to turn thoughts into tangible outcomes, to channel vision into actual reality. This is where most high-performing men stall. Surrounded by the trappings of success but drained by an internal void, they find themselves running on empty, pulling more from grit than meaning. The FORGE Framework doesn't offer shallow slogans or empty motivation. Instead, it drills into the actual work—mental toughness, mindset mastery, energy and focus optimization, the science behind elite execution, and the cultivation of confidence that does not waver. Robby leads men to stop operating out of desperation for an identity and start leading from an immovable foundation. This shift breaks the exhausting cycle of constantly forcing results on borrowed strength. It awakens an undeniable power—fueling men to strip the governor from their lives and step into real power, real purpose, genuine prosperity, and the quiet force of inner peace. The process doesn't just end at personal breakthroughs. Robby equips men with the practical tools and skills needed for battle-tested leadership, wealth created through faith rather than ambition alone, and a legacy that outlasts them. All of this happens alongside a brotherhood relentless in support—a band of men who won't let their brothers fall into mediocrity or isolation. Here, a man finally finds what high performance was meant for. He gets the battle plan, the backing, and the brotherhood to execute it without compromise. Why Your Audience Needs This Message High-performers are waking up to the fact that mindset and inner work are performance multipliers. Men who used to mock personal development now hire coaches because they realize that's what separates good from great. Most high-performing men spin their wheels, working harder instead of smarter, feeling frustrated because they know they're capable of more. Robby gives them tools to tap into their natural, unlimited power and break through to their next level. Value for Your Show Robby delivers real conversations about faith, masculinity, and performance optimization that challenge modern norms and inspire action. He teaches that strong masculinity remains necessary for building strong families, businesses, and communities. The world needs men bold enough to lead.
