[MM]: Freedom & … 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Freedom & …

Happy Monday Mindset!

I hope you had a great holiday weekend.

I did!

It was productive and started with a full body circuit at my Mission Viejo Fit Body location.

Just the way I like it. 🙂

As I reflect, the 4th has become one of my favorite holidays.

In my youth, I took it for granted.

I suppose when you come from the freest & richest country in the world.

This can happen.

You can lose sight of that throughout history.

Freedom is the exception, not the rule.

Last week Thursday was a good reminder!

With this in mind and on the other side of freedom that is something not talked about but equally significant.

What is this you might ask?

It’s RESPONSIBILITY.

With great power and freedom, comes great RESPONSIBILITY!

This is how I have learned to view freedom.

With freedom..

I have the RESPONSIBILITY to be fit, to be healthy, and to be active.

With freedom..

I have the RESPONSIBILITY to be kind, generous, and helpful to others.

With freedom..

I have the RESPONSIBILITY to live a life of service and in honor of those who have come before me that didnt have the opportunity.

This is why I love freedom, I love fitness and I love RESPONSIBILITY.

I hope you do too, which is my message today!

Let’s make it a GREAT WEEK!

Leadership Lesson: Leaders Connect 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Leaders Connect

A big aspect of leadership is connection.

There are many ways to do this.

A big one is through language & culture.

Why?

These things are meaningful to people.

I was reminded of this on my recent trip to the UK for my friend Matt’s wedding.

While I met many Britts.

Being a first-world country with a high standard of living, I met many foreigners throughout Europe living there too.

One thing I learned in my travels years ago which is similar to learning someone’s name.

If you can speak 1 word of someone’s language or know a distinct fact about their culture. 

This provides an immediate connection point.

Upon this discovery, I’ve made a point to learn about 30+ words in various languages which acts as an immediate bridge to connect.

As a result, when I meet someone and learn where there from.

I greet them with my 1 word in their language OR ask them to teach me “thank you”.

Their reaction?

90% of the time their eyes light up, their guard goes down and they lean into the conversation.

This creates an instant connection which is a tool to help you lead.

[MM]: ½ Way Home 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: ½ Way Home

Happy Monday Mindset!

July 1 is here.

It’s the start of Q3 which means we are officially ½ way through 2024!

Where has the year gone?

The truth is that both life & business happen fast.

This is why you must lead a life of intention.

So let me ask you.

Have you made progress on your professional 2024 annual targets?

How about your personal goals for 2024?

Have you taken action to launch your passion-based business?

Have you planned the trip with your family?

What personal and business adjustments do you have to make as we look into Q3 and the latter half of the year?

In sports, the coach who can make the best ½ time adjustments dramatically increases the probability of victory.

This is what you must do as the coach of your life.

You must plan.

You must communicate.

You must take action.

But you also must reflect, debrief, and make ½ time adjustments.

Even if your first ½ of 2024 was less than ideal.

The good news is that you have a new opportunity!

After all, NOW is the time being we are ½ way home to 2025.

Let’s make it a GREAT WEEK!

Leadership Lesson: Leadership is Perspective. Perspective is Leadership. 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Leadership is Perspective. Perspective is Leadership.

As the headline states, the more perspective you gain, the better leader you can become.

There are many ways to gain perspective.

Today’s lesson is about travel.

I learned this lesson in May 2004 when I enrolled myself through a study abroad program entering my senior year of college.

I put myself on a plane to Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and never have been the same.

This week I am at it again in the United Kingdom.

Tatiana and I ventured out to London, England to attend my good friend Matt’s wedding on Saturday.

Matt’s an English bloke I met in 2007 in Orange County through a mutual friend on his world travels. 

We hit it off and have traveled the world together over the last 15+ years. 

We have journeyed from LA to New York, Brazil, Portugal, Croatia, Greece, and the list goes on.

It was extra special seeing him and his new bride Charlotte get married in England on his home turf.

It was a fantastic event although uncomfortable.

Travel always is.

The 11-hour flight, the 8-hour time difference, the hard jetlag, the small hotel living quarters, the confusion at the train station, the tough eating options, and the list goes on.

The truth is travel is hard, it’s uncomfortable and not easy.

In the moment, many times it’s not enjoyable.

But that’s where the value lies.

It pushes you, it stretches you.

It gives you new looks at people, human nature, and life.

The experience enriches your life with time.

It provides you with perspective.

And remember:

Perspective is leadership.

Leadership is perspective.

Leadership Lesson: One’s Ability to Lead Is Tied To This.. 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: One’s Ability to Lead Is Tied To This..

I just did a podcast swap with a new friend Ben Newman.

Ben and I were introduced through our mutual friend Amberly Lago.

We both come from the Midwest, from homes with abandoned fathers who were addicts, went to the same university, and have a passion for coaching, winning, and leading.

Kindred spirits.

Ben was just rated top 5 mindset coaches of the year by USA Today along with Tim Grover, Ed Mylett, Mel Robins, and Brendan Berchard.

He worked for the GOAT, Nick Saban for 5 years as a Peak Mindset Coach and won the 2020 National Championship with the University of Alabama. 

He also won 3 national championships at North Dakota State and a Big 12 Conference championship with Kansas State.

He’s a winner, a world-class leader, and his mantra is “Standard Over Feelings”.

On our podcast swap, which his episode drops on July 24, he shared the below leadership lesson. 

“Bryce, your ability to lead someone else is directly tied to the discipline in which you lead yourself.”

Mic Drop.

Breaking it down, discipline is a key ingredient in self-leadership and that of others.

Want to be a better leader?

Start with developing your discipline muscle.

[MM]: Wisdom 1024 768 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Wisdom


Happy Monday!

Wisdom is something I’ve valued ever since I was a boy.

It started with my relationship with my grandma Josephine.

We became close after my family escaped my father’s addiction in 1991 and landed on her door for close to a decade through out the 90’s.

My grandma was heaven sent.

Through the challenge, our bond grew and would spend time with her every weekend through college until I graduated and moved to Los Angeles.

She would pour wisdom into me by sharing stories of her life and watching her live.

This is what inspired me to ask 6 amazing women of our Fit Body Forever program designed for mature adults 55+ to sit down with me and record a conversation.

I wanted to gain insights from their experience in the Fit Body Forever program. 

I also wanted to extract wisdom from their life via their challenges, struggles, regrets, love, priorities and values.

As such, my friends Mary, Chris, Linda, Barbie, Michelle, Sherry and I sat down 2 weeks ago and recorded a beautiful conversation that I will share in the fall when it releases.

Through the chat, I was reminded of 1 truth about life.

It is fleeting.

The tough truth is that we are both running out of time.

Tomorrow is not promised so we must live with urgency.

My message today?

Pick up the phone. 

Have that conversation that you need to.

Take the first step with your fitness.

Tell that special person you love them.

Now is the time!

Make it a great week!

Leadership Lesson: You will be out of it soon 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: You will be out of it soon

I wear a necklace with the saying “Momento Mori”. 

It’s Latin and translates to “Remember your death”.

Sounds cold, but it’s true.

The truth is as a leader, the message gives perspective. 

The truth about life is this:

Everything is temporary.

To put a bow on the lesson today, I received the message below from my friend Joey from Few Will Hunt.

It provides the perspective you need to lead.

If you’re in the storm, you’ll be out of it soon. Think calm. Poise. 

If you’re in the sun, you’ll be out of it soon. Think chaos. Prepare.

[MM]: You’ll be out of it soon 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: You’ll be out of it soon

Happy Monday!

My business partner Joey sent me an email last week with the below message and thought of you.

If you’re in the storm, you’ll be out of it soon. Think calm. Poise. 

If you’re in the sun, you’ll be out of it soon. Think chaos. Prepare.

It stopped me dead in my tracks.

Why?

He is right.

No matter what is going on at the moment, you will be out of it soon.

Everything in life is temporary.

This too shall pass.

Tomorrow is not promised.

This is why we must live with urgency!

TODAY is THE DAY as you will be out of it soon!

Happy Monday, let’s make it a good week!

Leadership Lesson: Calm & Chaos 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Calm & Chaos

There are many dichotomies in leadership.

I want to share 1 with you today.

As a leader.

In times of calm, you must create chaos.

In this sense I mean you need to create initiatives that are uncomfortable to push the mission & revenue forward.

However..

In times of chaos, you must create calmness.

Calmness will settle your team and provide them with reassurance on the path ahead.

Interesting huh?

Leadership is not for the faint of heart.

There are many more dichotomous and goodness ahead.

Stay along for the journey!
