I sat down with Trav on The Mindset Technician Podcast for a raw conversation about business, success, and the parts of the coaching industry no one really talks about.We unpack why sustainable success comes from doing the boring, consistent things (not 12-hour hustle days), how finances and systems are the real foundations of growth, and the messy realities of navigating friendships, projections, and industry manipulation along the way.This episode is part strategy, part mindset, and a whole lot of truth bombs.

Today we’re diving into a topic that comes up in nearly every client conversation: hiring. Whether you’re looking at bringing on your first subcontractor or stepping into your first official employee hire, there’s a lot to know (and a lot of mistakes I see business owners making). In this episode, I’m breaking down the real differences between contractors and employees, what those costs actually look like, and the things you need to consider before you put out a job ad or sign an agreement. This isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” guide, it’s me sharing my own experiences, what I’ve learned from my accountant and mentors, and the steps I wish I had known sooner. If hiring has been on your radar, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to take the next step the right way.

Today I’m joined by one of my besties, Lily, and this one’s equal parts pep talk, perspective shift, and BTS of the kind of discipline that actually builds results.We talk about what it really takes to stay consistent (even when no one's watching), the mindset behind her success in bodybuilding and business, and why comparison is often just a sneaky excuse to avoid doing the hard thing.If you’ve ever struggled with imposter syndrome, being too empathetic in business, or waiting until you feel “ready” to raise your prices—this one’s for you. Oh, and we also unpack the difference between being inspired vs. just plain jealous. No shade, just truth.You’ll learn:How to stop choosing low-level problems that keep you stuckWhat real discipline looks like (hint: it’s not 4am ice baths)The sneaky ways comparison holds you backWhy building self-trust is the best strategy you’ll ever implementA favourite episode already.
