Did you like your 5am club email this morning?
I hope the title provoked your interest and planted a subconscious seed.
Did you get right out of bed or have a hard time getting up?
Did you hit the snooze button?
This weeks tweetable is “What’s your big idea for tomorrow>?” @CoachAdamCobb
Please leave a comment to keep the conversation going and I’m personally wondering what you do to win your battle each morning?
Cheers with water,

Have you ever wanted to talk with your partner about their health and didn’t know how to have the conversation?
Maybe you decided to try to talk with your partner about their health and the conversation went horribly wrong, which happens to 99% in this situation, you are not alone.
Today, I tackle this controversial subject, so next time you will know what to say and how to say it, so you don’t end up in an argument, on the couch, or in a break.
This week’s tweetable is “Become the example of health.”
The big idea of this week’s Coaching Conversation is how to have “the health talk” without talking about it.
As always, your comments and questions keep the conversation going and I appreciate hearing from you.

Today I wanted to share a story with you I’ve never shared before.
The learnings have shaped me into the man I am today.
As I discuss my fear, I hope you are able to identify your fear and use it to create personal excellence.
I also hope you like the new look and feel of today’s Coaching Conversation. With your great feedback, questions and comments we are creating a conversation that will not just be information but truly make a transformation.
Grateful for you and how you show up in the world.
Cheers with water,

What is your favorite event of the year? For some people it’s the Superbowl, Grammy’s, Oscar’s, but for me its March Madness, hands down, its not even close.
March Madness does not only represent a tournament where the best college basketball teams get together and play to see who is #1 (sure, of course I’m rooting for Duke and want to see Coach K cut down another net), but it also is a time of year that represents change.
The seasons are changing, from a cold and long winter, into a season of spring, renewal, hope, and adventure. It’s also nostalgic for me because of all the memories associated to March, from Spring break days, to skipping school with my best friends every year for the Thursday and Friday games which always will provide the biggest upsets (sorry Mum), to all the emotion that the best college players in the land share on and off the court.
To honor this very special time of year I want to share with you a motivational / highlight reel of the All-Time leading scorer of Duke Basketball history and NBA superstar JJ Redick. He’s one of the hardest working people I’ve had the privilege to work with, dedicated to his family and strong man of God.
I hope the video inspires, motivates, and helps you take your game to the next level. If you cheer for Duke during the NCAA tournament that would be a bonus. So get your popcorn out no butter needed, hummus and celery, coconut water, and Zesta-C, tissue box (because it does get emotional), and pick a favorite team.
PS: A new season of the Coaching Conversation with yours truly is starting up in April with some special guests and a new look and feel. Hope you enjoy and as always, leave your comments and questions below and I’ll be sure to answer them.
BOO-YAH
GO DUKE !!!
Have you ever felt so incredibly grateful that you had to share it with someone?
That someone is you this week.
In this week’s Coaching Conversation, I share with you an exercise that if done properly will get immediate results and create momentum in all areas of your life. Feeling stuck?
This exercise will get you moving in the right direction and have you feeling grateful for what you already have.
Start to see your life from abundance.
I refer to the 30 Day Think Well Challenge in this weeks video, which is the last and final part of my 90 day Move well, Eat well, and Think well challenge. In the last 90 days I have given away my best stuff and shared the FYCmethod that I practice with my celebrity clients for free, for anyone that signed up.
Don’t worry if you missed it, I’ll be starting it up again soon with New updates. For now, I hope you enjoy this week’s coaching conversation and remember, you are celebrated in public for what you do in private.
Cheers with Lime Water,
Coach

Several people over the the last month have asked me the question,
“How do I start waking up with energy?”
My answer is always the same, Rise with a Reason.
I used to let the battle of the bed win, until I followed my mentor’s advice, (thank you Uncle Joe.)
His advice was more of a mantra and out of all the wisdom he shared with me before he graduated to heaven this mentor mantra is what I hear echo in my mind every weekend, “Weekends We Get Ahead”
Next month, I’ll shoot a video in more detail about this subject, specifically how my mentality shifted and how you can pivot your path to purpose. (Get rid of the guilt! Did I hit a sensitive spot? Hope so!)
80% of people hate their jobs, stated in Deloitte’s Shift Index Survey. I’m a true believer that this is the culprit. So quit your job and start doing what you love right now, right? Wrong answer.
For now, remember that if you do not love what you do, then keep making money at your job to support yourself AND spend 30 minutes every morning or night and a minimum of 7.5 hours on the weekend to develop your passion project.
At this rate you will spend 10 hours a week and 40 hours a month of quality time not on your job but on your future career.
There are few things in this life of ours that fuel us and fire us up more than loving what you do on a daily basis.
Before I share how I got to the place of being excited everyday and waking up with massive amounts of energy (next month’s video).
I encourage you to commit 10 days to these 3 points that truly directed my path.
Side note: I love Joseph Campbell’s work and his phrase “Follow Your Bliss.” When I first heard this I was like sign me up, but how do we get there, what are the first few steps?
3 Points to Direct your Path
1. Wake up one hour earlier
2. Move in the morning aka sweat for 20 or more minutes
3. Meditate for 5 minutes or more to start and end your day (download the insight timer app)
Many people before practicing there Big 3 always fight me on wanting to meditate before they move.
For most people, bad idea.
Why?
Meditate first thing in the morning and fall asleep only to forget about directing your path. There is incredible power in meditating after movement when you are in a peak state of energy while your heart rate is elevated. I teach clients how to harness the energy at peak times in their day to create more energy. This is a true game changer technique.
Word Of the Weekend (WOW): “To get to the place of loving what you do, first come from the place of having peace with what you have.”
When you start to practice the 3 Points to Direct your Path you will be in the right position to figure out your “WHY”. Our “WHY” we do what we do helps define our direction and provides inspiration.
Simon Sinek gives a brilliant TED talk (3rd most watched) about “Discovering your Why“, here is the link to listen and find your why today.
We will explore this subject more in future Coaching Conversations.
Be sure to leave a comment on the blog below and let me know what you do to get ahead on the weekends!

“Fat-free” was a fad.
Now it’s a new day and the truth comes out “Eat Good Fat to Get Fit.”
Possibly the best news you have heard all day and, yes, I’m serious!
On this week’s Coaching Conversation, I break down 3 myths about fat that drive me crazy when I hear them.
Also, I offer you 20+ examples of good fats that I want you to start eating to create the energy you want and crave.
I’m not sure if you are like me when it comes to nutrition, but I can’t get enough of the education of food. This week, I literally geek out on the science of fat and dive deep into the subject. #haha
After watching the video, in the comments section below, please do share how you will incorporating more good fats into your diet. Inquiring minds (AKA: the FYCcommunity) want to know)!
