Choose Hard with Cody McBroom

Every online coach loves the client who follows the plan perfectly and gets linear results. But what happens when the coaching gets messy? In this episode of the Choose Hard Podcast, Cody McBroom delivers a comprehensive masterclass on nutrition troubleshooting and client psychology, addressing the exact roadblocks that separate amateur trainers from elite specialists.Cody breaks down how to handle the psychological bottlenecks, emotional self-sabotage, and the dreaded "I'm doing everything right" roadblock. If you want to build solid standard operating procedures (SOPs) around nutrition data without turning your clients' lives into an obsessive prison, this episode provides your tactical blueprint.✅ The "I'm Doing Everything Right" Dilemma: How to investigate hidden data and metrics versus true metabolic adaptation when the scale is ticking up—and when it’s actually time to look at clinical interventions like peptides or GLP-1s.✅ Dismantling the Food Identity Crisis: How to coach a client out of a victim mindset ("I can't eat like a normal person") and break the toxic reward/punishment relationship they have with food.✅ Overcoming the 75% Fatigue: The psychological play to re-ignite a client who gets three-quarters of the way to their goal and stalls out because they’ve become complacent with "good enough."✅ The Post-Binge Protocol: The exact, chronological steps to take when a client admits to blowing past their targets. Learn how to respond using nervous-system regulators and the "Urge Jar" to drive behavioral change without casting shame.✅ Overcoming Tracker Resistance: How to effectively onboard a client who is fiercely resistant to tracking food or using apps like MyFitnessPal without making them feel judged, restricted, or micromanaged.—GET 20% OFF ALL CHOOSE-HARD MERCH, USING CODE PODCAST20 AT CHECKOUT: https://choose-hard.shop/ 📌 Follow Choose Hard on instagram @choosehardpodcast and grab Choose Hard Merch at www.choose-hard.com ❓ASK YOUR QUESTION FOR THE NEXT Q&A EPISODE:⇨ question.choosehardpodcast.comℹ️ LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR ONLINE COACHING PROGRAMS:⇨ www.fatlosstransformation.com {1-On-1 Coaching}⇨ https://tailoredcoachingmentorship.com/ {Mentorship w/ Cody}📲 DOWNLOAD MY APP & START A TRAINING PLAN, FOR FREE:⇨ www.thetailoredtrainer.com🛒 PURCHASE YOUR CHOOSE HARD HAT & JOURNAL:⇨https://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.shop/collections/all 💊 JOCKOFUEL SUPPLEMENTS (Code CHOOSEHARD for 20% Off):https://jockofuel.com/discount/CHOOSEHARD🎙️CLIENT CASE STUDIES & TRANSFORMATION STORIES:- SPOTIFY: ⁠https://bit.ly/tlrd-transformations-spotify⁠ - APPLE PODCASTS:⁠https://apple.co/3GPlDxG⁠  GET MORE FREE CONTENT AT THE LINKS BELOW:📖 FREE ARTICLES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blog⁠ 💾 FREE GUIDES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/guides⁠IG -⁠https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroom⁠YOUTUBE -⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1⁠INQUIRIES – ⁠info@tailoredcoachingmethod.com Key Coaching Problems Solved In This Episode:

Most coaches think their biggest problem is leads or content. It's not. In this episode, Cody McBroom breaks down 5 of the most important lessons he's learned as a coach and business owner in 2026 — lessons that touch on client retention, personal integrity, identity-based standards, what actually drives long-term motivation, and trusting the process even when you can't see the outcome.Here's what's covered:The real reason coaches lose clients — It's not your marketing. It's your onboarding, your check-ins, and your referral system (or lack of one). Most coaches are fixing the wrong problem.Respect is the one thing you can always maintain — When someone wrongs you, when the situation goes sideways, when you have every right to react — your response is the only thing that defines how people remember you. You can't control what happens. You can control what they have to say about you afterward.Core values are meaningless without standards and rules — A value without a standard is just a soundbite. Cody breaks down the framework he uses personally and with clients: Value → Identity → Standard → Rule, and why this is the actual architecture behind sustainable behavior change.Pain is a powerful motivator — until it isn't — You can build a lot running from something. But once you've created enough distance from that pain, the drive disappears. This episode unpacks how to shift from a pain-driven pursuit to a purpose-driven one — and why that shift is the key to breaking the all-or-nothing cycle for good.God's a weaver — and your story isn't finished — A woven blanket can take over 100 hours to make. Buying one takes seconds. Your life is being woven the same way. Moses spent 40 years after exile before God spoke to him again. Situations Cody thought would never end took months, over a year — and now he can see exactly what they were for.If you're a coach, a business owner, or just someone trying to build something that lasts — this episode is for you.

This episode is a deep dive into the psychology of high performance, moving beyond surface-level tactics to address the core mindsets required to win in a crowded industry. Cody explores why "high agency" is your ultimate competitive advantage, how to distinguish between genuine burnout and the frustration of losing, and why the marketplace is currently shifting toward raw, authentic community over polished, AI-driven content.- The Power of High Agency: Why the ability to find a way, regardless of circumstances, is the most vital trait you can develop.- The Burnout Truth: Burnout is often a byproduct of stagnation; when what you are doing is actually working, "winning" provides the energy to keep going.- Navigating Seasons: Accepting that life moves through cycles—good, hard, boring, and great—is essential for long-term consistency.- Integrity as Currency: In business and life, your word is all you truly have; follow-through is the foundation of trust.- Action Over Information: You cannot consume your way to success; stop letting "learning" become a form of procrastination and start doing the work.- The Craving for "Raw": Why people are rejecting filtered perfection in favor of real coaching, authentic content, and genuine community.To register for the 2026 Tailored Coaching Mastermind, visit: https://www.tailored-coaching.com/tailored-live-mastermind GET 20% OFF ALL CHOOSE-HARD MERCH, USING CODE PODCAST20 AT CHECKOUT: https://choose-hard.shop/ 📌 Follow Choose Hard on instagram @choosehardpodcast and grab Choose Hard Merch at www.choose-hard.com ❓ASK YOUR QUESTION FOR THE NEXT Q&A EPISODE:⇨ question.choosehardpodcast.comℹ️ LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR ONLINE COACHING PROGRAMS:⇨ www.fatlosstransformation.com {1-On-1 Coaching}⇨ https://www.tailored-coaching.com/mentorship-coaching {Mentorship w/ Cody}📲 DOWNLOAD MY APP & START A TRAINING PLAN, FOR FREE:⇨ www.thetailoredtrainer.com🛒 PURCHASE YOUR CHOOSE HARD HAT & JOURNAL:⇨https://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.shop/collections/all 💊 JOCKOFUEL SUPPLEMENTS (Code CHOOSEHARD for 20% Off):https://jockofuel.com/discount/CHOOSEHARD🎙️CLIENT CASE STUDIES & TRANSFORMATION STORIES:- SPOTIFY: ⁠https://bit.ly/tlrd-transformations-spotify⁠ - APPLE PODCASTS:⁠https://apple.co/3GPlDxG⁠  GET MORE FREE CONTENT AT THE LINKS BELOW:📖 FREE ARTICLES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blog⁠ 💾 FREE GUIDES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/guides⁠IG -⁠https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroom⁠YOUTUBE -⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1⁠The 6 Lessons from Q1 2026:INQUIRIES – ⁠info@tailoredcoachingmethod.com

Most people fail their fitness goals not because they lack discipline, but because they treat adherence like a character test they pass or fail, rather than a muscle they train. If you’ve ever told yourself you’re "lazy" or "unmotivated" because you fell off your diet, you’re listening to a lie.In this masterclass on execution, Cody McBroom breaks down the Component Skills of Adherence. You will learn how to move past fickle motivation and build a bulletproof framework for unwavering consistency. We go deep into the science of behavioral change, the hierarchy of systems, and the psychological "sticky stuff"—like shame and perfectionism—that creates the friction stopping your momentum.In this episode, we discuss:Adherence as a Physical Skill: Why consistency is a muscle that requires specific "reps" just like a bicep curl.The Hierarchy of Change: Moving from tools (apps and scales) to strategies, component skills, and ultimately, autonomy.The "Flick it, Flip it, or Feel it" Drill: A powerful 3-step filter to manage intrusive thoughts and cravings in real-time.Frustration Tolerance: The hallmark of the elite—learning how to "feel bad and still take action."Identity-Level Change: Why long-term success happens when you stop asking "Why am I a failure?" and start treating slips as environmental data.Stop being a victim of your impulses and start becoming the commander of your thoughts. Adherence isn't about being perfect; it's about being impossible to discourage.  GET 20% OFF ALL CHOOSE-HARD MERCH, USING CODE PODCAST20 AT CHECKOUT: https://choose-hard.shop/ 📌 Follow Choose Hard on instagram @choosehardpodcast and grab Choose Hard Merch at www.choose-hard.com ❓ASK YOUR QUESTION FOR THE NEXT Q&A EPISODE:⇨ question.choosehardpodcast.comℹ️ LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR ONLINE COACHING PROGRAMS:⇨ www.fatlosstransformation.com {1-On-1 Coaching}⇨ https://www.tailored-coaching.com/mentorship-coaching {Mentorship w/ Cody}📲 DOWNLOAD MY APP & START A TRAINING PLAN, FOR FREE:⇨ www.thetailoredtrainer.com🛒 PURCHASE YOUR CHOOSE HARD HAT & JOURNAL:⇨https://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.shop/collections/all 💊 JOCKOFUEL SUPPLEMENTS (Code CHOOSEHARD for 20% Off):https://jockofuel.com/discount/CHOOSEHARD🎙️CLIENT CASE STUDIES & TRANSFORMATION STORIES:- SPOTIFY: ⁠https://bit.ly/tlrd-transformations-spotify⁠ - APPLE PODCASTS:⁠https://apple.co/3GPlDxG⁠  GET MORE FREE CONTENT AT THE LINKS BELOW:📖 FREE ARTICLES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blog⁠ 💾 FREE GUIDES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/guides⁠IG -⁠https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroom⁠YOUTUBE -⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1⁠INQUIRIES – ⁠info@tailoredcoachingmethod.com

We dive deep into the reality of operating at an elite military level for 12 years and the "Identity Death" many veterans face when transitioning to entrepreneurship.In this episode, we discuss:- The "Terminator" Origin: The legendary feat of strength and endurance that earned Kevin his name.- The Junk Volume Trap: Why "smoke sessions" and training until you puke are actually detrimental to tactical selection.- Hybrid Training for Selection: How to balance the barbell and the pavement to become "hard to break" in high-stress environments.- The "Land Nav" Mindset: How navigating a forest at night with a 60lb ruck translates to running a business and personal growth.- Recovery as a Discipline: Re-wiring Type-A hard-chargers to realize that 8 hours of sleep is as productive as an extra 5-mile run.- The Anti-Mediocrity Standard: Why society is moving away from "Hard" and the true cost of modern comfort.- Whether you are preparing for SFAS, RASP, or simply looking to eliminate mediocrity from your own life, Kevin’s "no-BS" approach to training and psychology is a masterclass in Choosing Hard.Follow Kevin on IG at https://www.instagram.com/terminator_training/ GET 20% OFF ALL CHOOSE-HARD MERCH, USING CODE PODCAST20 AT CHECKOUT: https://choose-hard.shop/ 📌 Follow Choose Hard on instagram @choosehardpodcast and grab Choose Hard Merch at www.choose-hard.com ❓ASK YOUR QUESTION FOR THE NEXT Q&A EPISODE:⇨ question.choosehardpodcast.comℹ️ LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR ONLINE COACHING PROGRAMS:⇨ www.fatlosstransformation.com {1-On-1 Coaching}⇨ https://www.tailored-coaching.com/mentorship-coaching {Mentorship w/ Cody}📲 DOWNLOAD MY APP & START A TRAINING PLAN, FOR FREE:⇨ www.thetailoredtrainer.com🛒 PURCHASE YOUR CHOOSE HARD HAT & JOURNAL:⇨https://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.shop/collections/all 💊 JOCKOFUEL SUPPLEMENTS (Code CHOOSEHARD for 20% Off):https://jockofuel.com/discount/CHOOSEHARD🎙️CLIENT CASE STUDIES & TRANSFORMATION STORIES:- SPOTIFY: ⁠https://bit.ly/tlrd-transformations-spotify⁠ - APPLE PODCASTS:⁠https://apple.co/3GPlDxG⁠  GET MORE FREE CONTENT AT THE LINKS BELOW:📖 FREE ARTICLES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blog⁠ 💾 FREE GUIDES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/guides⁠IG -⁠https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroom⁠YOUTUBE -⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1⁠INQUIRIES – ⁠info@tailoredcoachingmethod.com

You get Dad Gang, a brand that started with just $250 and has since sold over $30 million in hats. In this episode, I’m joined by co-founders Bart and EJ to pull back the curtain on one of the most inspiring entrepreneurship stories I’ve heard in years.We dive deep into the "origin story" of Dad Gang—from selling out their first 100 hats in 36 hours to building a community of over 14,000 dads who support each other through the "forever marathon" of parenting.

Together, they pull back the curtain on what it takes to achieve mastery in the craft of coaching.

#89 - Dr. Sean Pastuch: Why 55 Million Americans Need Better Coaches (Not More Treatments)DESCRIPTION:In this episode of Choose Hard, I sit down with Dr. Sean Pastuch, founder of Active Life RX, to unpack one of the biggest opportunities—and responsibilities—in the fitness and coaching industry: chronic musculoskeletal pain.With over 55 million Americans living in chronic pain, Sean explains why this is no longer just a medical issue—but a coaching problem. We dive into how coaches can play a massive role in resolving pain through better communication, movement confidence, and client engagement, rather than overwhelming people with complexity or fear-based narratives.We also discuss why niching should be about problems—not demographics, how personal development directly impacts coaching success, and why building real community relationships is often the missing link in both business growth and client outcomes.This conversation is for coaches who want to:- Help clients move out of pain without overcomplicating the process- Communicate more effectively and build deeper trust- Identify valuable problems that actually matter to people- Grow their business by solving real-world issues- Choose hard by confronting blind spots and committing to personal growth If you’re a coach, trainer, or practitioner who wants to make a bigger impact—this episode will challenge how you think about pain, coaching, and your role in the industry.Download Sean’s Free Workbook (Discussed on Podcast) ⬇️https://pro.activelifeprofessional.com/seminarworkbookdownload2?el=mcbroom 📌 Follow Choose Hard on instagram @choosehardpodcast and grab Choose Hard Merch at www.choose-hard.com ❓ASK YOUR QUESTION FOR THE NEXT Q&A EPISODE:⇨ question.choosehardpodcast.comℹ️ LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR ONLINE COACHING PROGRAMS:⇨ www.fatlosstransformation.com {1-On-1 Coaching}⇨ https://www.tailored-coaching.com/mentorship-coaching {Mentorship w/ Cody}📲 DOWNLOAD MY APP & START A TRAINING PLAN, FOR FREE:⇨ www.thetailoredtrainer.com🛒 PURCHASE YOUR CHOOSE HARD HAT & JOURNAL:⇨https://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.shop/collections/all 💊 JOCKOFUEL SUPPLEMENTS (Code CHOOSEHARD for 20% Off):https://jockofuel.com/discount/CHOOSEHARD🎙️CLIENT CASE STUDIES & TRANSFORMATION STORIES:- SPOTIFY: ⁠https://bit.ly/tlrd-transformations-spotify⁠ - APPLE PODCASTS:⁠https://apple.co/3GPlDxG⁠  GET MORE FREE CONTENT AT THE LINKS BELOW:📖 FREE ARTICLES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blog⁠ 💾 FREE GUIDES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/guides⁠IG -⁠https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroom⁠YOUTUBE -⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1⁠INQUIRIES – ⁠info@tailoredcoachingmethod.com

In this Part 2 crossover with Luka Hocevar of the Vigor Life Podcast, Cody and Luka go deep on real program design, client results, and what separates average trainers from true professionals.They break down how elite coaches think about principles vs. methods, why wildly different programs can both work, and how to sequence training so clients actually progress instead of getting beat up. You’ll hear stories from decades in the trenches—coaching gen pop, pro athletes, and everyone in between—and why mentorship, apprenticeship, and communication skills matter just as much as sets and reps. This is a must-listen for coaches, trainers, and serious lifters who want to build programs—and careers—that actually last.👉 Listen to Part 1 on Luka’s Vigor Life Podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0gp1uXtwfRUcBkfS1P1uim?si=kcUu2vhPRwuxdV5kTzQrug Apple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/vigor-life-podcast/id1180256583?mt=2 YouTube: https://youtu.be/iKvQMkDmx-A?si=YbHzAuEhgNnRYqco  📌 Follow Choose Hard on instagram @choosehardpodcast and grab Choose Hard Merch at www.choose-hard.com ❓ASK YOUR QUESTION FOR THE NEXT Q&A EPISODE:⇨ question.choosehardpodcast.comℹ️ LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR ONLINE COACHING PROGRAMS:⇨ www.fatlosstransformation.com {1-On-1 Coaching}⇨ https://www.tailored-coaching.com/mentorship-coaching {Mentorship w/ Cody}📲 DOWNLOAD MY APP & START A TRAINING PLAN, FOR FREE:⇨ www.thetailoredtrainer.com🛒 PURCHASE YOUR CHOOSE HARD HAT & JOURNAL:⇨https://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.shop/collections/all 💊 JOCKOFUEL SUPPLEMENTS (Code CHOOSEHARD for 20% Off):https://jockofuel.com/discount/CHOOSEHARD🎙️CLIENT CASE STUDIES & TRANSFORMATION STORIES:- SPOTIFY: ⁠https://bit.ly/tlrd-transformations-spotify⁠ - APPLE PODCASTS:⁠https://apple.co/3GPlDxG⁠  GET MORE FREE CONTENT AT THE LINKS BELOW:📖 FREE ARTICLES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blog⁠ 💾 FREE GUIDES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/guides⁠IG -⁠https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroom⁠YOUTUBE -⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1⁠INQUIRIES – ⁠info@tailoredcoachingmethod.com

In this solo episode of The Choose Hard Podcast, Cody McBroom breaks down the 7 fat loss nutrition principles he teaches every online client — the same science-backed framework responsible for thousands of successful transformations through Tailored Coaching Method (used in this IG post, here).At the core of fat loss is one unbreakable truth: energy balance rules everything. Cody explains why controlling calories isn’t about starving yourself — it’s about matching your intake to your goals so your body can perform, recover, and burn fat efficiently.He covers the nutritional differences between fat loss, maintenance, muscle building, and performance nutrition, and explains how stress, hormones, and training volume all influence your daily caloric needs.You’ll learn:- Why fat loss is impossible without a consistent calorie deficit- How maintenance calories create stability, recovery, and sustainability- Why high performers often need a calorie surplus- How stress, sleep, and hormones change your nutritional needs- The role training volume plays in fueling your body- The truth about “eating more to lose weight”- Why mastering energy balance simplifies every diet you'll ever try If you want a no-BS guide to fat loss nutrition — one rooted in physiology, not fads — this episode is your roadmap. 📌 Follow Choose Hard on instagram @choosehardpodcast and grab Choose Hard Merch at www.choose-hard.com ❓ASK YOUR QUESTION FOR THE NEXT Q&A EPISODE:⇨ question.choosehardpodcast.comℹ️ LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR ONLINE COACHING PROGRAMS:⇨ www.fatlosstransformation.com {1-On-1 Coaching}⇨ https://www.tailored-coaching.com/mentorship-coaching {Mentorship w/ Cody}📲 DOWNLOAD MY APP & START A TRAINING PLAN, FOR FREE:⇨ www.thetailoredtrainer.com🛒 PURCHASE YOUR CHOOSE HARD HAT & JOURNAL:⇨https://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.shop/collections/all 💊 JOCKOFUEL SUPPLEMENTS (Code CHOOSEHARD for 20% Off):https://jockofuel.com/discount/CHOOSEHARD🎙️CLIENT CASE STUDIES & TRANSFORMATION STORIES:- SPOTIFY: ⁠https://bit.ly/tlrd-transformations-spotify⁠ - APPLE PODCASTS:⁠https://apple.co/3GPlDxG⁠  GET MORE FREE CONTENT AT THE LINKS BELOW:📖 FREE ARTICLES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blog⁠ 💾 FREE GUIDES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/guides⁠IG -⁠https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroom⁠YOUTUBE -⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1⁠INQUIRIES – ⁠info@tailoredcoachingmethod.com

If you’re tired of misinformation — on either side of the spectrum — this conversation will sharpen your perspective and elevate your understanding of health.This is the kind of truth the industry needs — even if it’s not the truth everyone wants to hear.You can find Andrew on Instagram and listen to his podcast, at the links below: - https://www.instagram.com/andrewcoatesfitness/ - https://apple.co/4pq5P8S - https://sptfy.com/QcXf 📌 Follow Choose Hard on instagram @choosehardpodcast and grab Choose Hard Merch at www.choose-hard.com ❓ASK YOUR QUESTION FOR THE NEXT Q&A EPISODE:⇨ question.choosehardpodcast.comℹ️ LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR ONLINE COACHING PROGRAMS:⇨ www.fatlosstransformation.com {1-On-1 Coaching}⇨ https://www.tailored-coaching.com/mentorship-coaching {Mentorship w/ Cody}📲 DOWNLOAD MY APP & START A TRAINING PLAN, FOR FREE:⇨ www.thetailoredtrainer.com🛒 PURCHASE YOUR CHOOSE HARD HAT & JOURNAL:⇨https://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.shop/collections/all 💊 JOCKOFUEL SUPPLEMENTS (Code CHOOSEHARD for 20% Off):https://jockofuel.com/discount/CHOOSEHARD🎙️CLIENT CASE STUDIES & TRANSFORMATION STORIES:- SPOTIFY: ⁠https://bit.ly/tlrd-transformations-spotify⁠ - APPLE PODCASTS:⁠https://apple.co/3GPlDxG⁠  GET MORE FREE CONTENT AT THE LINKS BELOW:📖 FREE ARTICLES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blog⁠ 💾 FREE GUIDES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/guides⁠IG -⁠https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroom⁠YOUTUBE -⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1⁠INQUIRIES – ⁠info@tailoredcoachingmethod.com
