In this weeks episode we are joined by Jay Alderton, one of the world's most renowned body transformation coaches, and the author of 'Mindset With Muscle' and 'Meltdown: How To Turn Your Hardship Into Happiness'.

In less than four years Jay went from a redundant contract worker to one of the most influential voices in the fitness industry because he refused to follow the masses.

Jay has always been ahead of his time with a forward-thinking approach. In the episode, we talk frankly about his time in the military and the lessons he took from his time there, and his perspective on what it really means to go above and beyond in search of greatness.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The role of a body transformation coach is one that's always active. It doesn't end when the hour is up. You are always on call and always ready to help.
• Skills, knowledge and experience mainly come from making mistakes and suffering through failures. The reason that many aren't where they need to be, is that they have taken the shortcuts that pass these invaluable lessons by.
• Social media is what you make it. If you're trying to promote a sense of positivity and engagement, then it does no good to follow those who seek to fill the world with fear and negativity.
• You never make the important gains by taking the easy route. Push yourself to do the things you don't want to do each day - this will build a resilient mindset and give you the gains you're looking for.

BEST MOMENTS

'A PT worries about the hour that you're with them. I worry about the other 23'

'Preserving the emotional energy is equally as important as the nutrition and exercise'

'People will always forget what you said, but they'll never forget the way you made them feel'

'If you want to be the best at something, you need to go above and beyond'
