#104 - Q1 Reflections: 6 Lessons on High Agency, Burnout, & Winning in 2026
Apr 2100:43:03Tap to summarizeAs we move into the second quarter of 2026, Cody McBroom reflects on the 6 most critical lessons that have shaped his business and personal life, so far this year. 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

#102 - Client-Adherence Masterclass: Why Willpower Fails and Systems Win
Mar 3100:47:11Tap to summarizeMost 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.

Mar 2401:10:33Tap to summarizeWhat does it take to earn the nickname "The Terminator" in the Special Forces?
