Time Stamps:
(0:00) - Intro
(0:40) - Youtube Quote- "In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer." -Philosopher and author Albert Camus on resilience (Shared by Jeremy)
(1:55) - Josh quote: “Scarcity of self awareness.”
Being self aware, by being honest. Accountability mirror, don’t beat yourself up about it, do something about it. What’s holding you back? You should never have failures, loses are the most powerful lessons.
(3:45) - Kyle quote: “Fail to prepare, prepare to fail”
(5:15) - What has us excited or intrigued
(9:00) - Client shoutout: Past 60 day challenge participants
(12:55) - Question 1- What are the side effects of creatine?
1.a I haven’t been able sleep when taking creatine has anyone else experienced this? Diarrhea and nausea can occur when too much creatine is taken at one time, in which case the doses should be spread out throughout the day and taken with meals. Creatine supplementation typically results in weight gain, partly due to an increase in total body water
1.b - Does creatine cause hairloss? It's plausible, but unlikely. One RCT linked creatine supplementation to an increase in DHT (an androgen involved in hair loss) but this RCT has never been replicated.
1.c - Is creatine bad for your kidneys? In people with healthy kidneys, long-term creatine supplementation is safe, but there are no long-term creatine studies in people with kidney issues. For these people, using a low dose of creatine (if any) would be prudent.
(20:05) - Question 2- Have you done already done a podcast where you give tips on what to do when you’ve lost your passion for training?
(25:05) - Question 3- No matter what I do, I can’t seem to get past the point of feeling uncomfortable in the gym. I feel like people are always either looking at me, or I see people filming, etc and I can’t get past this stage. Any tips or tricks?
Thanks for listening! We genuinely appreciate every single one of you listening.

| 0:38.6 | only right we start with that. So what do we have this week, Kyle? So this week we have from Jeremy, |
| 0:43.9 | he commented. And by the way, the link will be down below for the next, for this episode, actually, |
| 0:49.0 | for YouTube. But he had commented saying, in the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me, |
| 0:55.6 | there lay an invincible summer. and author albert camis on resilience and he said finishing up that lean bulk |
| 1:01.3 | summer shred coming soon in all caps and i think it's very applicable especially with summer |
| 1:05.8 | coming up with the summer shred taking place i think that was an awesome quote and i'm glad that it was |
| 1:10.0 | mentioned and the top rated comment for this past mond episode. Yeah, I've had the pleasure now of working with Jeremy |
| 1:15.3 | over a year and his transformation speaks for itself. He has turned into an absolute savage. |
| 1:20.2 | And I've loved and one thing I love about coaching people is helping them gain that confidence |
| 1:24.6 | and ability to really understand what they can do the that there are no limits |
| 1:29.1 | that you are capable of so much more than you thought and he just continues to evolve progress |

And now we're going to jump into my quote, which I actually pulled from a new Jeezzy song I heard. and just really made me think. And he said that there's a scarcity of self-awareness right now. And I just had to take a pause because I was like, wow, that's just amazing. And right now I feel like people, there's a lot of a mirage of self-awareness. There's a lot of self-love, which I think is absolutely fantastic. but I think sometimes that needs to be balanced by saying, what are my weaknesses? Where am I failing? David Goggins loves the point of an accountability mirror. And he said, it may be hard to hear if someone says, you're overweight and you need to lose weight and they may be bullying you. It may be not appropriate for them to say, but you need to say to yourself, |
