Monday Mindset

Happy Monday!🙌

Last week I was in the studio with my business partner Bedros.

We recorded a few new episodes for the release of my newly branded podcast the “CEO Show” with Bryce Henson.

I’m excited for the release of the show on July 3 so stay tuned.👊

In 1 of the episodes, we talked about “hitting rock bottom”.

While that’s not a fun place to be.❌

Bedros said something interesting which I resonated with..

“Bryce, you know what’s even worse than rock bottom. Hoverging just an inch above rock bottom. That’s true misery.”

His comment stopped my in my tracks.

I had never thought of it that way.

But in an instant, I knew the genius of it.✨

It reminded me when I made the decision to stop drinking alcohol in December 2016.

While the experience of seeing a loved one in distress was horrible.

The painful event and the self reflection of my own demons around the situation created change.

It actually caused me to wake up and take action to remove alcohol from my life.

As a result.

I’m a better person and leader.🌟

If you can believe..

I’m grateful for hitting rock bottom.🙏

Rock bottom forced change.

While that was bad.

What was worse was the months that led up to that experience.

It was hell.

You see, Bedros was right.💯

Hovering over rock bottom was the true misery.

It’s a point of misery, just out of reach out action. 

Ahh!!!

Anyway, I was inspired by last week’s chat.

So wanted to share the story & takeaway to inspire you today.⚡️

So please remember..

Sometimes rock bottom is a better place than hovering over it.

As rock bottom forces change.

So if this is you, surrender to it and let the rebound begin.

In the case you need a change or just need someone to talk to, my team and I are here to help.

Just reply.

Happy Monday!🔥

Happy Monday Mindset!

To finish off the quote from the headline..

It’s not the size of the dog in the fight.

It’s the size of the fight in the dog!

Why do I share this today?

I just connected with an old friend which reminded me of this motto I took on in my youth.You see, I was a whopping 5’1 my freshman year.

I didn’t grow much further until my senior year.

Entering high school, I was the smallest guy in my class of 200+.

It wasn’t fun. 

I was insecure. 

I had to work 3x as hard in athletics just to keep up.

I hated it. 

However, it ended up becoming my super power.

Why?

It taught me work ethic.

It taught me the need to hustle.

It taught me grit.

It taught me I need to do what others are unwilling to do to become successful.

This has carried with me until this day.

And this is my message for you today.

No matter what “disadvantage” you think you have.

If you re-frame it, it can be a blessing.

After all..

Adversity is your advantage. 

So remember:

It’s not the size of the dog in the fight.

It’s the size of the fight in the dog!

Happy Monday and please share this with someone in need!

Happy Monday Mindset!

This weekend I was at the Limitless Personal Growth Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. 

I was there to support my business partner and Founder of Fit Body, Bedros Keuilian who gave a big keynote.

The topic of his talk?

How to launch and scale businesses which is his zone of genius.

After all, he is a world class business man and true American dream story rags to riches story.

His family escaped Communist Soviet Union in 1980, made it to California and lived in Section 8 housing and on food stamps.

From that start and fast forward 40 years later, he’s built a business empire.

Now as you would expect, he gave strong business advice. 

However, the key business recommendation consistent throughout his talk wasn’t what you would have expected. 

In a nutshell, his message was this:

If you want to grow a business or do anything important in life in the service of others.

It starts with you.

It starts with your health & fitness.

When you eat clean and train 3-4x per week consistently, this is the foundation for success in all aspects of life.

It’s the “gateway” drug to a happier, healthier and productive you.

Sound business advice.

Sound fitness advice. 

Sound life advice.

I hope you are inspired and take action!

Happy Monday Mindset!

The quality of your life is dependent on the quality of your relationships & in the community in which you belong.

This was very evident this past weekend.

I spent it in Dallas Texas at my good friend Amberly Lago’s annual “Unstoppable Success Summit”.

She reached out a few months back and invited me to give an opening talk at the VIP event.

She inquired if Fit Body could also sponsor part of the event.

Without hesitation, the answer was an emphatic YES!

Why?

My relationship with Amberly.

Yes, it did make sense from a business perspective given the value of the sponsorship exchange.

But way more than that.

It was to pour into someone that has poured into me and our Fit Body Franchise Partners.

Amberly and I met a few years ago.

We hit it off.

She has an incredible story of almost dying in a motorcycle accident and now is inspiring men and women to live their best life.

Her message and book is called  “Grit and Grace”.

Respect.

Anyway, we shot some marketing content together.

She gave a world class keynote at our 2023 Annual World Conference last year to help our Franchise Partners & coaches with their adversity mindset.

So it only made sense we could support her.

This my friend is the power of building strong relationships and having a strong community to support.

The best part?

This is true in fitness, business and in life!

The deeper the relationships and community support, the deeper the life fulfillment.

After all..

The quality of your life is dependent on the quality of your relationships and the community in which you belong.

Make it a great week!

Happy Monday!

My wife Tatiana sent me this parable and wanted to share to educate and inspire!

–

In a small village nestled between a forest and the hills, there lived an old man known for his wisdom. 

One evening, as the sun painted the sky with hues of orange and purple, he sat outside his quaint cottage with his young grandson, who always yearned for his stories and lessons about life.

“Grandfather,” the boy said, “tell me, what is the most important lesson for a person to learn?”

The man smiled and gazed into the distance, where the shadows of the trees were merging with the night.

“Inside each of us is a fierce battle that rages on,” he said. “It’s like two wolves constantly at war with each other.

One wolf represents darkness and despair—it is anger, jealousy, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. 

It thrives on our worst impulses and feeds on our failures.

“The other wolf embodies light and hope-it is joy, peace, love, hope, calmness, humility, kindness, empathy, generosity and faith.”

The boy, absorbed in his grandfather’s words, asked with a sense of urgency, “But, grandfather, if they are always fighting, which wolf wins?”

The man looked deeply into his grandson’s eyes and said softly..

“The one you feed, my child. The one you feed.”

My call to action today is to feed your inner wolf that embodies light, joy, peace and hope. 

Have a great Monday!

Happy Monday!

The headline is what I taught my fellow coaches within the Fit Body brand this past weekend.

Why?

This is to ensure they take big focus on recruiting and developing their team.

After all, our coaches:

• Create the experience and results for our clients.
• Are the foundation of our Fit Body program.
• Are our product here at Fit Body! 

This is why putting a giant focus on developing a strong has been our focus for years. 

It’s a huge reason for our client, business and brand success.

This is why our Mission Viejo team of full-time coaches and a group of 140+ coaches from other Fit Body locations across North America united this past weekend in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

We executed our 18th Elite training and was the best 1 yet.

We learned, we grew, and we connected.

My brother Barrett, Executive Director of Coaching, let an incredible experience.

It was a GIANT win and our brand got better. 

My message today?

Transformed People, Transform People!

When you get fit, healthy, and active.

You transform yourself and then can transform others.

This is the ultimate way to pay it forward.

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday!

The old adage is true.

You are what you eat.

Think about this.

What you consume, you become.

Literally.

The tough truth?

Most people spend very little time considering what they input in their body.

They are on a “SeaFood” diet.

They “See Food” and eat it.

As a result, a staggering 80% of our population is statistically obese or overweight.

The worst part?

This is the surface problem.

The root issue of obesity is emotional, physical, and financial damage to the individual and society. 

The cost is enormous.

While that’s the problem.

The good news?

There is a solution.

In fact, this is why the Fit Body Franchise exists.

To inspire fitness and change lives every day!

My April No Fool Message today is this.

Be intentional on your food choice.

Remember: what you consume, you become. 

Literally.

80% of the time choose clean nutrition.

Protect your body with whole foods, lean proteins, veggies and H20.

80% of the time avoid processed foods filled with sugar that leaves you sick.

The other 20% of the time. 

Enjoy within reason.

Need help?

My friend and Fit Body Nutrition Coach Darrlynnn, shot a video to provide you with The BEST Foods at Costco for Weight Loss Meal Prep.

The goal is to educate and inspire you. 🙂

PS This is just an example of the value we provide for our Franchise Partners and fitness clients within the Fit Body brand.

As you are in business for yourself, but not by yourself.

Family! 🙌

Freedom is my personal core value. 

It shapes the way I think, what I value and the actions I take.✨

This is important for you to know as the CEO of Fit Body.

This is also why I became enraged last year when the massive issue of Human Trafficking was brought to light on the world’s stage. 

As it turns out.. 

The trafficking of human beings (YES HUMANS) is a multi-billion dollar (WITH A “B”) criminal industry that denies freedom to 25 million people around the world.

This is both horrific & unacceptable.

In response, I casted a vision and challenged my HQ team to help you and our brand do something about it.💥

Well, on the backs of my Fit Body HQ team, they have taken massive action to bring this vision to life.👊

Looking ahead, we will be executing “Freedom Week” as our April client engagement program.  

At its operational core..

It is a mega referral campaign designed to drive leads to our locations so our Franchise Partners can grow your profitability. 

The best part?🤔

We do it by taking a stand against a horrible-horrible crime that deprives people of their freedom.

I’m proud of you and proud to be part of an organization that creates both impact and income.🥰

Happy Monday Mindset!

This past Saturday was a special one!

We celebrated our 10 year anniversary of serving our mission of Inspiring Fitness and Changing Lives at my Mission Viejo Fit Body location.

One 1 hand feels like an eternity ago.

On the other hand, just like yesterday.

We opened the doors on a cold dark morning in early 2014 without experience or know-how. 🤷

Just a passion to share the gift of fitness which changed my wife Tatiana’s and my life. 🔥

Looking back at the decade.

Lots of sweaty sessions full of burpees and friendships made. 💪

Big highs. 

Very low lows.

I suppose that’s a good analogy of fitness, business and life.

Thank you to YOU and our clients. 🙏❤️

Thank you for investing in your fitness.

Thank you for trusting us as your coaches.

YOU are the reason this is possible.

Lastly, thank you to my team..

Both past and present. ❤️

Many businesses don’t make 1 year, let alone 10.

This accomplishment is made on your backs.

You are the true heroes of the organization!

Tatiana and I will never lose sight of that.

In closing, whether you have been with us for 10 years or 10 days.

Thank you. ❤️

This business and milestone is for you and because of YOU!

What an incredible 10 years. 🥳

In many ways though, we are just getting started!🚀

Much Love!

Have a great Monday!

Happy Monday!

A few weeks ago my mother in law Cristina visited my wife Tatiana & I from Brazil.

While she was here..

I had a work trip to Vegas for 1 night.

So Cristina and Tatiana decided to come with me.

We arrived in Vegas on Wednesday morning.

I had some meetings I jumped into straight away.

While I did that, the ladies went to the strip to see some of the sites.

Then evening arrived..

We went to see the circus o lei show “O” in the Bellagio.

Now I am not a big movie guy or show goer.

But I can respect art when I see it.

And holy moley, the show was a masterpiece!

The skill, expertise and craft of the performers was world class.

And while everyone was amazed at the visible art front and center.. 

I couldn’t help but to see the invisible leadership needed to bring the show to life.

The planning, the vision creation, the practice, the communication and feedback culture needed to execute a performance like this is no easy feat.

Lots of blood, sweat, tears and leadership.

Both art and leadership is at its finest!

As I close out today’s message..

I want to leave you with this thought speaking of leadership. 

I love fitness because it’s the first form of leadership.

When you can lead yourself to a healthier version of you.

Only then can you be there for your spouse, kids, family and community.

But remember: it starts with you.

Have a great Monday!
