Spencer Goodding is the Director of Sports Performance at Impact Sports Performance (ISP) in Superior, CO, where he also tests & trains fire fighters, creates & guides strength training classes for adults, and empowers individual human beings to see & feel the results they seek through 1:1 sessions. He is an accomplished Strongman and powerlifter, and he has a great passion for caffeine, steak, and cookies.

Catch a quick glance of Spencer in the weight room lifting 4-5 plates per side of the barbell, and you may wonder: how the heck did you get so strong, man?!

In your same initial glance, you may categorize him as your average Testosterone-tipped gym bro--"you are here to pick up heavy shit and be big."

Wrong.

Much the opposite of what your brain might guess on physical appearance, Spencer is a compassionate, kind swoledier with a heart as big as his lifts.

I began to meet these integrated parts of Spencer during many a philosophical, peri-session conversation on mindset, habits, nutrition, spirituality, relationships, and more at ISP (where I also coach), wedged between our full days of clients.

I quickly sensed the unequivocal message within the riveting in my bones: he must come on the show!

1. Write your goals down, create a deadline for those goals, and write down what you need to do on a daily/weekly basis to reach those goals.
