In case you missed it: Season 1 of Transformation Talks is in the books!

I’m not yet sure when Season 2 will kick off. But you can still get my best transformation-related content right here!


On today’s episode of Transformation Talks, I’m joined by Matt Mills, the owner of Lightning Fitness, strength coach, and professional strongman. I’ve actually hired Matt on more than one occasion for the sake of getting:

  1. Quantitative accountability
  2. Deadline-based accountability
  3. Financial accountability
  4. Personal accountability
