S3E8: Weight Loss, Aesthetics, and Performance Should Be SEPARATED

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 19:00:00 -0500

From the outside looking in, fitness and weight loss are synonymous

And while one is a product of the other, fitness is a spectrum and there are different goals that require different approaches.

In this episode I discuss the main differences between WEIGHT LOSS, AESTHETIC, and PERFORMANCE goals and why they should remain separate in the fitness space.

This is an important discussion for people who have a specific goal they want to accomplish, whether it’s wanting to lose a few pounds, wanting to change how their body looks, or wanting to improve performance in an area of their life.

This episode will help you understand the different approaches and better equip you in deciding where to put your energy.

S3E3: The TRUE Cost Of A Healthy Lifestyle

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0400

There’s always been this myth floating around that living a healthy lifestyle is expensive.

That’s usually what people who don’t live a healthy lifestyle say.

I’m sure at one point this was true, but nowadays that line of thinking is a product of misinformation.

In today’s episode I breakdown the TRUE cost of a healthy lifestyle.

I give a realistic look at what it costs to eat healthy, train consistently, and develop the habits needed to truly live a healthy lifestyle.

(spoiler alert: I’m not just talking about money)

S3E2: MAN TF UP

Fri, 16 May 2025 06:00:00 -0400

This topic always makes people’s butthole pucker.

I don’t know when discussing manhood and masculinity became a taboo topic, but I can guarantee that’s why there has been such a disconnect.

I love having this discussion because my current views and beliefs surrounding manhood and masculinity are a product of my personal experiences and things I wish I would have been taught when I was younger.

This episode is going to challenge your perception of manhood and masculinity.

Good.

It’s time we start having this conversation without assigning blame or using the word “toxic”

Join me as I give you personal insights into why I think the way that I do.

I encourage you to listen.

I encourage you to disagree.

S3E1: You're Not DONE Till You're DEAD

Mon, 05 May 2025 14:00:00 -0400

Damn it feels good to be back!

After a WILD start to the year, I'm finally back with a NEW episode of the VXG Podcast!

And this is the most appropriate way to kick off a new season.

I could've easily used this gap in recording as an excuse not to do this anymore more.

But instead, I'm using this as an opportunity to re-establish my commitment because just like the title of this episode says...

YOU'RE NOT DONE TILL YOU'RE DEAD!

In this episode I talk about getting back to YOU after "falling off" or losing steam.

I know this is exactly what I needed to hear.
I took my current situation and turned it into something we can all benefit from.

Take a listen and drop me some feedback if you vibe!

WE ARE SO F'N BACK!

S2E26: The Hybrid Grind

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0500

With the new year coming up, people are typically focused on 2 types of fitness goals:

1. Weight loss goals
2. Aesthetic goals

But there’s a 3rd goal that a select few of us north of 35ers tend to neglect

And it’s the most important goal you can focus on that will actually knock out weight loss and aesthetic goals without having to diet yourself to death or do endless (and pointless) bicep curls

In this week’s edition of VXG I breakdown exactly what that 3rd goal is and how making the shift going into the new year will change EVERYTHING for you

After a month hiatus, I'm back!

This week is a bit of a departure from our normal fitness talk.

Specifically a GIRL DAD and what changes I've felt within me already.

S2E23: 4th Quarter Mentality

Tue, 01 Oct 2024 17:00:00 -0400

Imagine you’re playing in the Super Bowl.
The biggest game of them all.
You’ve trained YOUR ENTIRE LIFE for this.

Your only goal is to WIN.

You’ve stuck to your game plan for 3 quarters and even though it has been working, you’re still behind.

Q4 is officially underway.

Tom Brady
Kobe Bryant
Patrick Mahomes

What do they have in common?

They’re game managers.

With the game on the line, they ditch the game plan and going lean into their instincts.

They take over the game and put the team on their back.

I need you to get that 4th Quarter Mentality.

In this week’s episode I break down the mindset you need to adapt to bulldoze your way into 2025.

Sat, 07 Sep 2024 14:00:00 -0400

In this special episode, I talk about the best decision I’ve ever made for myself.

I officially hit 500 days without alcohol!

This is a commitment I made to myself so I could show up as a better husband, a better father, and a better man.

My goal is to help as many people as possible release this demon because the world deserves the best version of YOU.

If you are inspired to let go of alcohol, today could be your day 1.

Mon, 26 Aug 2024 17:00:00 -0400

"You don’t train/exercise/workout to lose weight"

I bet your immediate response to that statement is "Huh?"

It's true, we don't workout to lose weight.
And in this week's episode I break down why understanding why this statement is true will change how you approach your fitness journey.

S2E20: Train For The Body You WANT

Mon, 19 Aug 2024 16:00:00 -0400

Damn... so this episode started off talking about how you should train for the body you WANT vs. training to escape the body you have.

But it got MUCH deeper.

When I was younger, my mom would always use the phrase "act as if"
As in "Act as if you already have what you want" or "Act as if you are the person who has already achieved that goal".
It's always served me pretty well.

A nice mindset shift to take me out of a state of lack and position me in this magnetic state of abundance.

I've been applying this concept to many of my current clients, prompting them to treat their days like they are already in the shape they want to be.

Creating their training and nutrition programs as if they are working to maintain their goal versus workig to escape their current state.

And that shit WORKS

But what makes it even more dope is that this concept can be applied to EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE

In this episode I dive into how to apply this to your fitness journey.
Then I go beyond that by showing you how to apply this concept to your day-to-day and literally change the trajectory of YOUR LIFE.

This episode is worth taking notes.

S2E18: Does The Effort Match The Goal?

Sun, 21 Jul 2024 00:00:00 -0400

Does the effort match the goal?

Simple question, right?
You'd be surprised at how many people's effort just doesn't line up with what they say they want.

In this episode I explore the question and offer some perspective that might help you either reignite your effort or reposition your goal.

There are some solid pieces of advice in here that you'll want to lock in on.
It might help bridge that gap between where you are and where you want to be.

Remember...
No matter how hard you think you're going, there's always a way to compound the effort.

S2E13: Cardio For The Culture

Sun, 05 May 2024 00:00:00 -0400

This week is all about CARDIO

Damn near every fitness professional has a different stance on cardio and its necessity in your training program.

Some say its not necessary
Others say its absolutely necessary
Most don't have a solid stance either way

In this week's episode, I breakdown my philosophy around cardio and the best way to incorporate it into your program to accelerate fat loss.

I also give my take on the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle.
For those of you that don't know, I am a bit of a hip hop aficionado and got a good kick out of the back and forth.

S2E10: Flexible Nutrition > Everything Else

Mon, 15 Apr 2024 12:00:00 -0400

Nutrition seems to be the area of fitness where people struggle the most.

And I understand why!
I mean if you've ever even THOUGHT about getting in shape, your social media feeds get BOMBARDED with content telling you how to do it.

The issue is that all of the information you see contradicts itself, which makes everything even more confusing.

Well lucky for you, this episode is going to introduce you to a concept that will change the game for you.

FLEXIBLE NUTRITION

In this episode, I go over how to create the most simple and lifestyle accommodating nutrition plan possible so that you can enjoy it, stick to it, and most importantly... see results!

By the end, you will breathe a sigh of relief knowing that you don't have to put extreme parameters around your nutrition to see results.

S2E9: The Summer Body Fallacy

Sun, 07 Apr 2024 00:00:00 -0400

I’m personally sick of the whole “work on your summer body” nonsense that every other fitness professional and influencer gets on right about this time of year.

I get it.
Marketing.

Doesn’t make me any less sick of seeing it. It’s literally every fit pros go to. It works so well because most people who want to get their summer body were on the same mission last year and will do the same thing next year. Low hanging fruit.

It’s a great hook. Not knocking its effectiveness. Just not my vibe.

In this episode I discuss the pitfalls of setting “Summer Body” as a your goal and I give you better ways to maneuver through your fitness journey so you have the body you want year round, without having to do anything crazy or drastic when you have something dope on your calendar.

I know not everyone is going to agree with me on this.

Good.

It might change the way you approach your training and nutrition.

Sun, 10 Mar 2024 00:00:00 -0500

This week I had the opportunity to sit and chat with one of the emerging voices in the health and wellness space, Holly Cotton (@HollyCotton_)

Holly is the definition of GRINDING. She's a best-selling author, media personality, RN, Life Coach, and breast cancer survivor! I had the privilege of watching her ascend into the spotlight over the last few years, so it was only right that I brought this phenomenal woman on the VXG Experience so she could breakdown how she got started, the steps she's taken to blow up her brand, and the vision behind the grind that is impacting so many lives.

Holly talks about her upbringing, as well as how she was able to become a published author during the pandemic, the origins of her brand Strong Squad, and the mindset she has developed to make her such a powerful and highly sought after personality.

Sun, 18 Feb 2024 00:00:00 -0500

Continuing the Interview Series, this week I had a chance to chat with former athlete turned leadership coach Jimmy Carter (@Ingrained2Train)

I’ve personally watched Jimmy ascend over the years and it was great to have the opportunity to hear his story.

S1E49: Don't feel BAD for wanting to look GOOD

Sun, 10 Dec 2023 09:00:00 -0500

Unpopular opinion (apparently):

Having a fitness goal around how your body looks is totally fine.

Once upon a time people did literally anything to achieve the body they wanted, to the point of harming themselves physically and psychologically, and this was the norm.

In response to this, the fitness industry shifted its focus as a whole from aesthetic to holistic, making overall health the priority.

This is a GREAT thing.

But somewhere along the way, the narrative transformed. It went from promoting health and wellness to shaming people for having what many consider “vain goals” such as wanting to look a particular way.

In this episode, I wanted to offer a different perspective.

Having worked with hundreds of clients over the last decade of being a fitness professional, I’ve come to the understanding that having goals around an aesthetic can be perfectly fine if pursued in a healthy manner.

I offer an alternative take on these types of goals that may change the way you view them while giving you permission to seek out what makes you happy.

S1E48: Spotting BS in the fitness industry

Sun, 03 Dec 2023 00:00:00 -0500

This might be the single most important episode you hear all year!

I’m sure on a daily basis, at any given moment, you are getting BOMBARDED with posts and videos from different content creators in the fitness space.

Everywhere you look
Facebook
TikTok
Instagram
Youtube

It feels like everyone is some kind of fitness influencer at this point

And look, I’m actually all for the world waking up and embracing fitness like it is

But what I’m not into is this wave of misinformation and deceit

Unfortunately, the fitness industry isn’t regulated so anyone with a camera and a social media account can start posting information and even begin soliciting business

As a consumer, especially a consumer who is actively trying to improve their health, I want you to be armed with discernment.

That’s why today I am going to show you exactly how to weed through the bullshit so you can lock in on the information that matters and see results without the mountain of nonsense most fitness influencers are dishing out

In this week’s episode of the VXG Podcast, I dive even deeper into this topic while also giving some practical examples of each and how to effectively navigate through it all

S1E46: Focusing On Weight Loss Is Hurting Your Weight Loss

Sun, 19 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0500

Losing weight on the scale is always a good thing, but fitness happens in so many other areas.

It really boils down to what is more important to YOU
The number on the scale or how you look and feel

Now this opens up an interesting conversation that I think is so important in our fitness journey

Because when we don't see the scale moving
And even when we don't see the progress in the mirror

We start doing things in the name of weight loss that actually hinder our overall performance... which actually makes it harder to lose weight

In this week's episode of the VXG Podcast, I talk about how focusing on weight loss too much is actually hurting your weight loss and where to shift your focus to see long term and sustainable

Sun, 15 Oct 2023 00:00:00 -0400

This is a cool episode because I spill the beans on some of the big life moves that are coming in the near future for my wife and I. I rarely talk about this stuff on here so I thought it would be cool to start the episode with that vibe.
As the main title mentions, the main topic of this episode is discussing the difference between going on a diet and following a nutrition plan.

S1E32: Your Triggers Are YOURS

Sun, 06 Aug 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Yup, you read that correctly.

So since this is becoming a hot topic, I wanted to touch on whether or not I believe gyms should have dress codes.

I know we all have our own thoughts and feelings about this topic and we'll probably NEVER fully agree... but that's cool. We can still talk about it.

Well as I was dissecting the topic, it unfolded a bigger question that led me down a pretty interesting rabbit hole.

Should we as a culture and society alter our behavior to appease the sensibilities of others as to not offend.

Is everyone responsible for everyone else's triggers?

I'm sure you know where I'm going with this.
I shouldn't have to say it, but LISTEN TO THE WHOLE EPISODE BEFORE YOU COMMENT

With that said, would love to hear what YOU think.

Sun, 30 Jul 2023 00:00:00 -0400

It's about to get real...

This is a special episode of the VXG Podcast for many reasons

First of all, this is the very first episode in video form which is pretty dope by itself.

But more importantly, I get to share the mic with my beautiful wife Alexis again (check out her first appearance here) as we touch on a topic that a lot of people would consider "sensitive"...

Yup, we talk about RACISM

This is the 2nd installment of a mini series I'm calling "Is It Racist Tho?"

We recently had a video blind reaction to Jason Alden's "Try That In A Small Town" go viral (you can watch it here) and we wanted to address some of the feedback as well as give our perspective on racism.

Sun, 18 Jun 2023 00:00:00 -0400

Today is a special day.

10 years ago as of this recording (6/16/2023), one of my closest friends Johnathan “N’Cision” Robinson passed away.

I speak about this a lot in previous episodes, but he was a big inspiration for me and my fitness career.

He passed on Father’s Day 2013.
He didn’t even get to see 30.
I became a Fitness Professional in January of 2014.

As I’m approaching 40, I’m extremely grateful for the impact he made in my life.

We made some great memories together.

We did a album together.

It’s sad that his health got the best of him in the end, but his legacy is alive and healthy.

In this episode I talk about taking your health seriously before it becomes a concern. I hope this serves as a forewarning for some and a wake up call for others.

You only get one life... act like it.

Sun, 07 May 2023 00:00:00 -0400

I’m a firm believer that in the pursuit of greatness, you gotta be lowkey obsessed.

I’ve caught a lot of sh*t from people about my stance on obsession when it comes to your goals. It is what it is.

In this episode I attempt to breakdown why I believe allowing yourself to become narrowly focused on your thing, your goals, your vision, you have no choice but to succeed.

I also talk about how and when obsession becomes problematic and how to avoid getting to that point.

Definitely an episode you’ll want to tap in with. Especially if you like to argue.

This is the real thing.

Sun, 16 Apr 2023 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode I’m breaking down key differences between WEIGHT LOSS and FAT LOSS, which one I prefer personally, and strategies for success.

If you didn't know, I'm not a huge fan of making "weight loss" your primary fitness goal. As I explain in this episode, weight loss is great but it's a small part of a bigger picture.

This is an extension of the topic discussed in Ep.6: Weight Loss Culture, giving an alternative perspective and providing actionable advice to help shift your focus from weight loss to fat loss.

In light of the backlash Angel Reese has been getting over her gesture towards Caitlin Clark as LSU won the NCAA championship, I really wanted to dissect the mindset and attitude most successful people carry towards any endeavor and how it's perceived by others.

I love this topic because it's just not popular, especially in today's "everybody be nice to everybody" social climate.

CONSISTENCY and COMMITMENT.

You can't have one without the other.

In this episode I dissect the two concepts and breakdown why you should value consistency and commitment in everything you do.

Real talk... by the time you finish listening to this episode I truly believe you'll have a better understanding of how a lapse in either of these areas is the exact reason why you haven't seen the results you want in your fitness, in your business, in relationships, etc.

I also show you how easy it is to clean it up and reestablish integrity with both!

Sun, 26 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -0400

In this week’s episode, I’m talking about WORK ETHIC.

I mean this show is literally called VISION x GRIND, so it’s only right that I breakdown what work ethic is exactly and how it relates to success in anything you do.

Now before you get all “I don’t do hustle culture” on me, I need you to know that this ain’t THAT.

I also talk about the fallacy that “hustle culture” and the people that talk about it have created around the notion of hard work.

Tap in and let’s discuss.
Who knows? You might change your perspective after listening 🤷🏾‍♂️

Sun, 12 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -0500

This is an extra special episode.

I wanted to take a beat to talk about my experiences in fatherhood.

Becoming a father has changed me in ways I can only begin to understand and in this episode I really wanted to vibe with the dads out there (and even aspiring dads), no matter where you are in the journey.

Even tho this episode is for the men, I invite all women to listen and get an idea about how fatherhood hits us differently and the mindset shifts we experience.

I also share some personal stories about my transition into fatherhood.

S1E6: Weight Loss Culture

Sun, 05 Feb 2023 00:00:00 -0500

In this episode we discuss Weight Loss Culture and how problematic it can be to your fitness journey.

As you may (or may not) know, I am a huge advocate for setting non-scale goals. The biggest reason is because of how obsessed we can get about the number on the scale. To the point where we start doing things counterproductive to our actual goals (and sometimes even to our health and wellbeing).

I break down my personal beliefs about Weight Loss Culture, as well as the VXG Protocol that I use for myself and my clients.
