About Today’s Guests, Rob and Kim Murgatroyd: A little bit different today on the show (and note that this was shot one day before my photo shoot, and photos and a BIG blog post are on its way). I believe most of you know (probably through my big mouth) that I’ve been going through a massive body transformation over the past 90 days. I decided that I’d had enough of simply going to the gym and trying to “eat right” without incredible results. I wasn’t really fat, but I wasn’t in ridiculously good shape. 90 days ago I made a commitment to former guests of the show Rob and Kim Murgatroyd that I was going to bust my ass and get into ridiculous shape (and then maintain it). And holy crap, I somehow did it. More than that, I’m hoping to help inspire you to make some kind of transformation in your life…be it personal, business, fitness, whatever. In this sort of “reverse interview” with Rob and Kim, they drill me on the process and also transformations in general. There will be a lot more about this in the coming days and I… Read More

About Today’s Guest, Kim Murgatroyd: OK, so you are an unconventional entrepreneur. Running your business your way. Dominating the world. But, what the heck are you eating? The problem, as I see it, has always been you really only have a couple of options when it comes to eating: Unhealthy, which is convenient, fast and makes you feel like crap. Healthy, which takes forever to make and tastes like crap. There has to be another way. Enter today’s guest, foodpreneur Kim Murgatroyd, who has a new, really unconventional cookbook out called Holy Sh*t: Delicious Recipes To Keep You Fit (affiliate) I’ve been using the rough draft of her now finished book for almost two months in secret. Today she is here to teach us a few simple, easy meals you can make that taste amazing and will keep your energy up for world domination. If you want a copy of the book, you can nab it in digital form (which is awesome, as you can put it in iBooks for example) right here. Kim also has a Protein Shakes & Snacks ebook which you can check out through my affiliate link right here. Enjoy!

I use RISE partner Wistia for video hosting because they rock. Check ‘em out. Audio Only Player: Click here to download the audio file. About Today’s Guest, Rob Murgatroyd: This is a common problem with creative entrepreneurs. We work on our businesses. We work on other important things (family, friends, etc.). Something has to give, because we aren’t super humans, right? Usually that something is fitness. And that sucks. Is it possible to get in incredible shape and run your business? Darn right it is. In fact, I had the problem that today’s guest (his second time on the show actually, check out the first interview here) Rob Murgatroyd had. I was working out and eating “right”, but I was in like ridiculous-holy-crap shape (yet, I wanted to be). Rob has the same issue so he infiltrated the world of fitness models (seriously) and got himself into unreal shape while running his business (he is also married to Kim, who will be on the show next week, and has a daughter). Today on the show, Rob shares some tricks of the trade he picked up to get you started on the path to better fitness. And even cooler, the program that Rob and Kim created that I’m a tester for (it is absolutely amazing and I’m on day 40 right now) called Jet Set Body (affiliate) is now available to get you in badass shape. They will provide the blueprint, you provide the hard work. Seriously, ridiculously highly recommended. Enjoy!… Read More

Click Here If You Prefer Audio Only About Today’s Guests, Rob and Kim Murgatroyd: Rob and Kim Murgatroyd are just like every other married couple with a young child…if every couple with a young child traveled around the world to interesting places such as Capri, Italy and Rio De Janeiro and wrote insider guidebooks about it. Not a bad way to make a living, eh? Rob and Kim spend 13 weeks a year traveling the world shooting videos and writing guidebooks for their brand Jet Set Life. They stay in the coolest hotels & find the interesting hot spots that most people don’t know about (away from people with fanny packs). In this conversation, we chat about everything from world travel to their Jet Set Life brand to what it is like working with your significant other.
