EPISODE TRANSCRIPTION

[Nick McGowan]: Tyler, welcome to the show man how are you doing i’m so glad you’re here

[Tyler Newton]: don’t go man can’t complain

[Nick McGowan]: good i hear too damn much of that so thank you for not complaining

[Tyler Newton]: don’t we all

[Nick McGowan]: yeah yeah and that’s really not something we get into on the podcast though i did

[Nick McGowan]: say something about complaining and like bitching and complaining the other day

[Nick McGowan]: and was like look i let people know that you can talk you can vent you can do

[Nick McGowan]: things like that but if you start to get in the craziness and when you’re just

[Nick McGowan]: bitching about stuff i’m gonna call you out on it um so i appreciate that you’re

[Nick McGowan]: not complaining enough of that so tyler

[Nick McGowan]: tell us who you are one thing that you do for a living and maybe one thing that

[Nick McGowan]: people don’t know about you

[Tyler Newton]: yeah so names tyler newton i am a online nutrition coach and personal trainer and

[Tyler Newton]: one thing that people don’t know about me um well this used to be something that

[Tyler Newton]: people didn’t know about me but i’ve been more

[Tyler Newton]: open about sharing it but i am a huge musical fan so i actually love musicals

[Tyler Newton]: so as a guy that loves to deadlift a lot of weight and be in a gym seeing

[Tyler Newton]: somebody like me that likes musicals is probably the last thing you would assume

[Tyler Newton]: but if you put the greatest showman on i’m probably going to sit there for the

[Tyler Newton]: next hour and thirty minutes and sing along the whole entire time

[Nick McGowan]: nice so how did you get into musicals

[Tyler Newton]: oh man uh well i guess you might have to go back to just growing up my mom used

[Tyler Newton]: to always us watch the sound of music which also i’ve seen like quite a number of

[Tyler Newton]: times and uh yeah i think it just started then whenever i was i was really young

[Tyler Newton]: and having to watch the

[Tyler Newton]: that movie over and over so yeah the sound of music i think started it

[Nick McGowan]: so is there is there any major musical that you constantly go back to

[Tyler Newton]: yeah the greatest showman

[Nick McGowan]: okay

[Tyler Newton]: that one and lala land i mean i like la la land too so both of those are pretty

[Tyler Newton]: frequent now because they’re a little bit more up to date um but i would love i

[Tyler Newton]: need to go back to new york and actually take my wife to like a broadway musical

[Tyler Newton]: and see another one hamilton is actually another one got almost left

[Nick McGowan]: cool

[Tyler Newton]: out hamilton was a great one i don’t know if you if saw that or not when

[Tyler Newton]: it came out on disney plus but i think i

[Nick McGowan]: about

[Tyler Newton]: watched that one about four times when it first came out so

[Nick McGowan]: damn

[Tyler Newton]: so yeah

[Nick McGowan]: nice i i like musicals i’m a musician so i like music

[Tyler Newton]: yeah

[Nick McGowan]: i don’t think i’ve really gotten into well you’ve rattled off a couple of them

[Nick McGowan]: that i haven’t even seen yet when i think of musicals i think of like chicago and

[Nick McGowan]: moulin rouge

[Tyler Newton]: yeah i think i like more of the movie based musicals than the actual like classic

[Tyler Newton]: ones unless i’m in person

[Nick McGowan]: sure

[Tyler Newton]: so if i’m in person that works when you go to new york you know obviously on

[Tyler Newton]: broadway but i like the new school kind of on on v d or i guess streaming now go

[Tyler Newton]: i’m starting to show my age i’m like what do we do now um

[Nick McGowan]: on a phs

[Tyler Newton]: i used to have to rewind the sound of music now i can just upload via netflix or

[Tyler Newton]: whatever streaming service we have whatever i want to watch so yeah

[Nick McGowan]: that’s funny you’d mention about new york and going to see a show i’ve got a

[Nick McGowan]: buddy and he’s probably gonna listen to his podcasts but i think about years ago

[Nick McGowan]: he and his wife were dating before they got married and he took her to a show and

[Nick McGowan]: they left at the first intermission because he thought it was over

[Nick McGowan]: and

[Tyler Newton]: he didn’t know

[Nick McGowan]: she found out maybe like a week or two later no they had no idea and he was like

[Nick McGowan]: son of a bitch like we we left halfway through it

[Tyler Newton]: one

[Nick McGowan]: so dude i’m still talking about that story you know who you are and i’m sure your

[Nick McGowan]: wife brings it up

[Tyler Newton]: you know why

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Nick McGowan]: oh man so

[Tyler Newton]: man i can see how that could happen though i mean when i was a kid my mom took

[Tyler Newton]: us to new york the first time we went and saw forty second street and matthew

[Tyler Newton]: broderick was actually the director of forty second street at that time and he

[Tyler Newton]: actually sat right behind us so i even got to meet

[Nick McGowan]: huh

[Tyler Newton]: him um but as a kid i didn’t know there was intermissions so had i not been there

[Tyler Newton]: and and my mom probably explained it to me i bet as

[Nick McGowan]: just walk right the fuck out

[Tyler Newton]: an older person i probably wouldn’t have known either

[Nick McGowan]: yeah yeah you’re like oh cool everybody’s going to the bathroom and get out of

[Nick McGowan]: here i guess we’re going to leave then and then everybody walks back in i wonder

[Nick McGowan]: what they’re doing

[Nick McGowan]: whatever

[Tyler Newton]: don’t there’s no post credits are there

[Tyler Newton]: don’t there’s no post credits are there

[Nick McGowan]: yeah is there scene after no this a marvel

[Tyler Newton]: speaking of that when i went and saw spiderman i made my wife and then my sister

[Tyler Newton]: in law and her boyfriend stay afterwards and i was like no no we got to see the

[Tyler Newton]: posting credits she’s like what are you talking about i’m like there’s two

[Tyler Newton]: trailers she’s like are you sure i’m like yes we’re staying and so like the first

[Tyler Newton]: one came up and then it went back to like another trailer and they’re like are

[Tyler Newton]: you sure there’s two of them i’m like look it up on the internet it’ll tell you i

[Tyler Newton]: guarantee it there’s a second one so the whole entire theater cleared out nobody

[Tyler Newton]: stayed except for us and i was like y’all can leave but i’m staying until i see

[Tyler Newton]: both credits so i was like i always do that

[Nick McGowan]: come on i don’t understand why people don’t get this at this point this is how

[Nick McGowan]: this works

[Tyler Newton]: it’s been ten years

[Nick McGowan]: but there are certain movies that yeah but there are certain movies that like

[Nick McGowan]: ghostbusters everybody

[Tyler Newton]: yeah

[Nick McGowan]: when i went and saw ghostbusters everybody left they’re all gone and i’m sitting

[Nick McGowan]: there and they’re looking at me as they’re walking out like what the hell’s this

[Nick McGowan]: guy doing i’m like you guys have no idea and then pops up the end credits i don’t

[Nick McGowan]: know maybe we should just hang out the entire time until like uh the custodians

[Nick McGowan]: come in they’re like hey man i need to clean the shit off floor you need to get

[Nick McGowan]: out of here

[Nick McGowan]: okay

[Tyler Newton]: like all right man can i get more popcorn

[Nick McGowan]: yeah yeah here’s the shit on the floor like i just told you

[Nick McGowan]: so let’s take a little bit of a step back here

[Tyler Newton]: go

[Nick McGowan]: so we know that you’re into musicals

[Tyler Newton]: yup

[Nick McGowan]: and that you’re also a personal trainer so

[Nick McGowan]: how did you get into that give us some context to how you got here and how you uh

[Nick McGowan]: became who you are today

[Tyler Newton]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: short version or a long version

[Nick McGowan]: well podcast is about an hour long so i’ll keep it within that

[Tyler Newton]: alright got it

[Nick McGowan]: but

[Tyler Newton]: you know i i was a three sport athlete growing up my whole entire life my dad um

[Tyler Newton]: was super athletic and him just kind of teaching us at a young age how to be

[Tyler Newton]: athletes i just knew growing up i was going to be doing something fitness related

[Tyler Newton]: or sports related obviously being under six foot tall i couldn’t make it into any

[Tyler Newton]: of the professional leagues so

[Nick McGowan]: she

[Tyler Newton]: you know my fallback plan i guess eventually became being a nutrition coach and

[Tyler Newton]: personal trainer but even then i didn’t even know that i was gonna be doing the

[Tyler Newton]: job that i’m doing now because

[Tyler Newton]: i went to school

[Tyler Newton]: kind of quit playing sports other than just working out in the gym and playing

[Tyler Newton]: rack ball the typical college kind of wreck sports flag football

[Tyler Newton]: got my degree in business management and just kind of thought i’d go run some

[Tyler Newton]: company figure it out along the way didn’t really know exactly what but just in

[Tyler Newton]: my head i was like alright get a business degree you can go get a job after

[Tyler Newton]: college

[Tyler Newton]: kind of the typical i don’t know what i want to do so you get a business degree

[Tyler Newton]: and so

[Tyler Newton]: after that moved down here to charleston where i still live today became a caddie

[Tyler Newton]: for five years full time out at the ocean course on kuwa and loved that job and

[Tyler Newton]: one of the reasons i think i really loved it was the whole coaching experience

[Tyler Newton]: along the way as a caddie even though you’re technically carrying clubs it’s the

[Tyler Newton]: helping the golfers get around breeding putts telling them what club they should

[Tyler Newton]: hit um i always try to go like over and beyond because by the third hole i’d be

[Tyler Newton]: like okay i know what club you need to hit for each shot and you know people

[Tyler Newton]: really find that kind of cool when you can club them after three or four holes

[Tyler Newton]: and i just like

[Nick McGowan]: she

[Tyler Newton]: that coaching aspect of it so kind of left that though because there’s no up it’s

[Tyler Newton]: just your caddy when you get to twenty six and you need like a four hundred one

[Tyler Newton]: thousand in benefits and the whole mount yards you have to kind of decide do i

[Tyler Newton]: like cash or do i want benefits in a real job so i went and did a few things in

[Tyler Newton]: between becoming a nutrition coach and one day was just working out at the gym

[Tyler Newton]: and the fitness director said hey like we’re hiring personal trainers you’re

[Tyler Newton]: always in here trying to help others as well and you seem like you know a good

[Tyler Newton]: bit what do you think about becoming a personal trainer and i just kind of looked

[Tyler Newton]: at it was like i’m not certified i i don’t really know what i’d be doing per he

[Tyler Newton]: but i know a good bit she was like well we can help you get certified take the

[Tyler Newton]: test and you know go from there i said okay cool let me talk to my wife so had to

[Tyler Newton]: have the conversation with my wife that i was going to leave a really stable job

[Tyler Newton]: for more of a commission based job uh with training and

[Tyler Newton]: pretty much

[Nick McGowan]: let’s see

[Tyler Newton]: made that decision jumped into personal training full time and then

[Tyler Newton]: about seven months and i decided to go out on my own because i didn’t like how

[Tyler Newton]: much i was getting paid from the big box gym and looked at my wife once again and

[Tyler Newton]: said if i’m gonna be broke at least i’d rather be broke on my own terms and not

[Tyler Newton]: somebody else’s so

[Nick McGowan]: hey

[Tyler Newton]: took that plunge of entrepreneurship i guess these days or being a business owner

[Tyler Newton]: and four years i spent in person training until covid hit and when covid hit you

[Tyler Newton]: kinda had to figure out a switch as far as how to make money because we couldn’t

[Tyler Newton]: go into gems for a while

[Tyler Newton]: and once we figured out like hey seems like everybody’s kind of turning into

[Tyler Newton]: online coaches now

[Tyler Newton]: i kind of started

[Tyler Newton]: diving into what it’d be like to be more so on social media put myself out there

[Nick McGowan]: she she

[Tyler Newton]: a little bit more and find clients via facebook instagram other

[Nick McGowan]: question

[Tyler Newton]: online avenues and it just kind of took off

[Tyler Newton]: and it’s been going pretty well now for the last two years i can honestly say the

[Tyler Newton]: first year had its up and downs but you know going into like year two of being

[Tyler Newton]: full time online

[Tyler Newton]: things are really starting to take a foothold

[Tyler Newton]: in our business and growth is one of those things that is scary but fun at the

[Tyler Newton]: same time and now we’re looking at running a figure run rate for our online

[Tyler Newton]: nutrition coaching business and finally hired two employees and that was scary

[Tyler Newton]: but fun

[Nick McGowan]: she

[Tyler Newton]: at the same time as well

[Tyler Newton]: as you know any time you grow a business adding employees and doing the whole

[Tyler Newton]: grown up thing within the company uh is fun and then also you’re like what the

[Tyler Newton]: hell am i doing um i have no clue how to do payroll and taxes and you you just

[Tyler Newton]: kind of learn as you go so we’re really excited to be where we are and really

[Tyler Newton]: grateful for the community that we’ve built because we have a lot of great people

[Tyler Newton]: that have bought in and are getting the help that they really need around fitness

[Tyler Newton]: and nutrition and to me having a community like we do right now is just it’s huge

[Tyler Newton]: in our growth process so

[Nick McGowan]: yeah you’ve built quite the community and i love the fact that you’ve gone

[Nick McGowan]: through a couple crazy times because there are certain people that go through

[Nick McGowan]: stuff where they hit a wall and then they go them out like i’m just not going to

[Nick McGowan]: do this i’m not going to deal with it or they here no a couple times where they

[Nick McGowan]: have to get to that point where they have to have that conversation with their

[Nick McGowan]: wife and maybe the wife goes na we can’t do this and then they just put their

[Nick McGowan]: dreams aside so let’s actually take that step back and go you’re leaving your job

[Nick McGowan]: and telling your new wife at that point i’m gonna go do this thing oh

[Tyler Newton]: we weren’t even married yet actually we were we weren’t even married yet at that

[Tyler Newton]: point girlfriend so she was my girlfriend at the time

[Nick McGowan]: oh okay

[Nick McGowan]: well then at that point i guess she doesn’t have as much say as a wife when

[Nick McGowan]: you’re like hey we’re married and here’s how this thing works but you then made

[Nick McGowan]: that call

[Nick McGowan]: when you guys were married to then be able to shift and how did you balance that

[Nick McGowan]: knowing like hey i’ve got to figure this stuff out and i don’t know what exactly

[Nick McGowan]: is going to happen so how did you balance your mindset within taking those risks

[Tyler Newton]: i i think i’ve just always had the mentality of betting on myself and so i think

[Nick McGowan]: hello

[Tyler Newton]: when you are used to having a for me at least having a sports background and i

[Tyler Newton]: was always

[Tyler Newton]: the personality that just if the game was on the line like i wanted to be the

[Tyler Newton]: person either with a ball in my hand or a chance to win um you know playing

[Tyler Newton]: football soccer and a wrestler

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: when you’re a wrestler you’re you’re it’s only up to you like you don’t have a

[Tyler Newton]: team mate to come in and tag you out and like help you it’s not wwe is you mono

[Tyler Newton]: moo with another guy so either he gets the best of you or you get the best of him

[Tyler Newton]: and so i think for me the sports background really helped with wanting to go into

[Tyler Newton]: business for myself and betting on myself i also think having a family of

[Tyler Newton]: business owners also helped me because my grandfather ran a very successful

[Tyler Newton]: business my dad owned his own business with his brother my other uncle owned his

[Tyler Newton]: own business and i had two aunts that owned theirs so i think maybe it might also

[Tyler Newton]: just be a family thing of we all like to work for ourselves so i i knew that

[Nick McGowan]: point

[Tyler Newton]: i wanted to eventually do two things one run my own company and to find a place

[Tyler Newton]: in this world where i could create value for people every day and help

[Nick McGowan]: hey

[Tyler Newton]: people for a higher cost outside of just a paycheck and the jobs that i had

[Tyler Newton]: before in between you know a lot of them were sales jobs so i was really used to

[Tyler Newton]: hearing the word no

[Tyler Newton]: and when you’re in sales doing cold calls uh you hear about ninety nine noses and

[Tyler Newton]: one yes a day so i got really immune to hearing no and having to really go back

[Tyler Newton]: to the drawing board every daya and find new clients new customers that way with

[Tyler Newton]: you know over the phone sales job and

[Tyler Newton]: i think all everywhere that i’ve gone every step of my journey so far in life

[Tyler Newton]: i’ve just learned different skills and you learn how to take those different

[Tyler Newton]: skills that you’ve learned when you work for somebody else and then see how you

[Tyler Newton]: want to work for yourself or see how you want to run your business and i think it

[Tyler Newton]: just evolves i don’t think you ever actually really know what to do you just kind

[Tyler Newton]: of figure it out but then you also bring other skills that you’ve had from other

[Tyler Newton]: jobs into it as well and it just starts to shape you and how you run your

[Tyler Newton]: business and how you attack things so

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: for me it was just i’m still learning i’m growing i mean there’s a ton of stuff

[Tyler Newton]: that i still don’t know so for me it’s important to also have really accomplished

[Tyler Newton]: people in my the corner i mean i have a coach myself for my own personal fitness

[Tyler Newton]: now

[Nick McGowan]: just

[Tyler Newton]: i also have a business coach that helps me along the way so that way i can

[Tyler Newton]: hopefully not make too many mistakes like i did early on and so for me as long as

[Tyler Newton]: you’re always trying to learn

[Tyler Newton]: and you actually

[Tyler Newton]: for me

[Tyler Newton]: you have to kind of be messy at first and and mess up um

[Nick McGowan]: hey

[Tyler Newton]: and i’ve messed up so much that to me it’s like at least i’m taking the action

[Tyler Newton]: and when i do mess up i can learn from that and and learn

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: what i messed up on to fix it and then that can carry over as well further on

[Tyler Newton]: down the line and i think a lot of business owners when they get to that point of

[Tyler Newton]: they are we allowed to cuss by the way

[Nick McGowan]: shit yeah

[Tyler Newton]: okay um i keep having to stop myself i’m like i don’t cuss at this point um

[Nick McGowan]: you’re totally good i mean don’t go nuts but at

[Tyler Newton]: okay all right

[Nick McGowan]: some point i’m sure i’ll have somebody on here it’s got turrets you know so then

[Nick McGowan]: i’ll be like good fucking have at it

[Tyler Newton]: um but no i mean when you up right like and you learn that lesson of like oh man

[Tyler Newton]: like i’ really fucked up this time a lot of people then just wanna kind of give

[Tyler Newton]: up because they dug a

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: big hole and they are not sure how they’re going to get out of it when i’ve

[Tyler Newton]: really up i’ve just been like okay now we just got to work even hard to kind of

[Tyler Newton]: get ourselves back to even and then we’ll figure it out and the biggest thing i

[Tyler Newton]: always say is i’ll figure it out my wife hates it when i tell that because she’s

[Tyler Newton]: always like well how are you gonna do this i’m like i don’t know i’m gonna figure

[Tyler Newton]: it out what do you mean you’re gonna figure out i don’t know i’m going to figure

[Tyler Newton]: it out like give me some time i don’t have the answers yet but

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: i will go find the answers and i think if you’re going to run your own business

[Tyler Newton]: and work for yourself you gotta have that mindset of i’ll figure it out and not

[Tyler Newton]: give up at the first like speed bump because

[Tyler Newton]: in my business

[Tyler Newton]: especially when you look at coaches

[Tyler Newton]: a lot of personal trainers leave this space within two years which to me is just

[Tyler Newton]: not enough time to really build your business up anybody that’s been super

[Tyler Newton]: successful i think you’re going to see most of your growth at at least year three

[Tyler Newton]: year four year five like somewhere in there is like when you’re really going to

[Tyler Newton]: start to get traction because there’s so many steps along the way and i know some

[Tyler Newton]: people can really escalate their business a lot faster than maybe i have i’ve

[Tyler Newton]: seen it but at the same time

[Tyler Newton]: some of us have different parts of their life that are going on and some of us

[Tyler Newton]: aren’t willing to give up other things i think i have a really good balance of

[Tyler Newton]: what i actually want and where i want to go without giving up the things that i

[Tyler Newton]: still enjoy as a person and not as a business owner and so i think you got to be

[Tyler Newton]: realistic with yourself as far as like what am i willing to give up and what am i

[Tyler Newton]: willing to do

[Nick McGowan]: is it

[Tyler Newton]: and when you can kind of mesh those two together

[Tyler Newton]: you’ll be a lot happier because i see so many people that make a a lot of money

[Tyler Newton]: right now and they’re miserable and then i see other people that make less and

[Tyler Newton]: then they’re actually really happy and they have balanced so i think that’s where

[Tyler Newton]: the conversation starts with most entrepreneurs is what do you want and then what

[Tyler Newton]: kind of balance do you want as well and of course there’s seasons involved with

[Tyler Newton]: that where you know if you have promotions or kick offs and and things that are

[Tyler Newton]: going to keep you busy

[Tyler Newton]: you know you’re gonna give up some things during those times but how do you

[Tyler Newton]: balance that out

[Tyler Newton]: to me understanding balance inside of your business and your personal life will

[Tyler Newton]: lead you to less burnout and i think you see most people get burnt out because

[Tyler Newton]: they’re trying to grow too fast instead of understanding

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: they’re probably right where they need to be

[Tyler Newton]: and that comes with a little bit of understanding too like if your goal is to be

[Tyler Newton]: a millionaire and like you just are really ambitious and you don’t have anything

[Tyler Newton]: holding you back from just working twenty four seven and then hey go for it but

[Tyler Newton]: you know i have a wife and i have friends that i like to still play recreational

[Tyler Newton]: sports with and i don’t want to give those things up yet so until then then i’m

[Tyler Newton]: good with like the growth that we’re at and i think a lot of people got to have

[Tyler Newton]: that conversation with themselves

[Nick McGowan]: dude i totally agree the balance thing is such a almost four letter word to

[Nick McGowan]: certain people cause they don’t get it they’re just like i don’t know i i just

[Nick McGowan]: feel like i just need to keep going and keep hustling and for the most part i

[Nick McGowan]: think a lot of that’s just bullshit because they’re just pushing through

[Nick McGowan]: something that they they feel like oh i don’t know what else to do so i’m just

[Nick McGowan]: going to keep pushing and pushing and pushing so back to your

[Nick McGowan]: not being perfectionist and pushing out an mvp of things the minimal viable

[Nick McGowan]: product just get something out there and be okay with yourself in this social

[Nick McGowan]: media world it’s so difficult to not look from side to side and see what other

[Nick McGowan]: people are doing so finding your own balance is a big big problem for a lot of

[Nick McGowan]: people and some of that just boils down to experience like if i talked to you a

[Nick McGowan]: couple years ago balance would have been way out the window and i know that based

[Nick McGowan]: on the short conversations that we’ve already had

[Tyler Newton]: yeah

[Nick McGowan]: and i’m akin to that i get that i’ve burnt myself out massively to the point

[Nick McGowan]: where i was standing on top of a building like am i gonna fuck jump or not

[Nick McGowan]: and when you get to that point let me take a step back you should never get to

[Nick McGowan]: that point but if you do please

[Tyler Newton]: no

[Nick McGowan]: don’t jump talk to somebody um but how did you find balance and how did you get

[Nick McGowan]: to that point where you’re at now

[Nick McGowan]: thinking from the mindset of if you could put yourself back in that place a

[Nick McGowan]: couple of years ago and say hey dude chill out

[Nick McGowan]: how do you balance life knowing that you still need to push you still need to

[Nick McGowan]: work things but allowing things to come to you

[Tyler Newton]: the biggest thing that i did was i really set boundaries within my schedule and i

[Tyler Newton]: think a

[Nick McGowan]: hey

[Tyler Newton]: lot of entrepreneurs and i i still can fall into this trap at times but the more

[Tyler Newton]: you actually block out your schedule and look at the things that you have in

[Tyler Newton]: front of you so i’ll use the example i still play in a men’s flight football

[Tyler Newton]: league

[Tyler Newton]: it’s one of the things that i find to be very rewarding because i get to see a

[Tyler Newton]: lot of my guy friends and we all play together so to me like that’s really

[Tyler Newton]: important and i know that i have games on monday nights sometimes on wednesdays

[Tyler Newton]: so during the season i block out in my business schedule those times when i know

[Tyler Newton]: that we are going to have games and everything else is stacked around that my

[Tyler Newton]: wife and i also still play coed volleyball together that is really important to

[Tyler Newton]: her because two years ago she was like hey like this is important that we have a

[Tyler Newton]: day for us to spend time together where you’re not focused on the business and i

[Tyler Newton]: have your attention and so i also know during the season of volleyball like hey

[Tyler Newton]: thursday nights i’m going to plan all of my work stuff around that and so for me

[Tyler Newton]: it was going ahead and knowing my non negotiable just like i ask my own clients

[Tyler Newton]: like hey what are some non negotiable in your life that you’re just not willing

[Tyler Newton]: to give up right for them it might be i’m not willing to give up oreos or

[Tyler Newton]: cheesecake or ice cream okay cool like i can

[Nick McGowan]: sure

[Tyler Newton]: work with that tell me and so like the same thing as a business owner you have to

[Tyler Newton]: have your non negotiable for your own life and your business and so for me i

[Tyler Newton]: think putting those two things in there really helped because now everything else

[Tyler Newton]: i can reverse engineer and if i can reverse

[Nick McGowan]: hey

[Tyler Newton]: engineer my non negotiable everything else can start to fit around that and so

[Tyler Newton]: many people

[Nick McGowan]: she

[Tyler Newton]: just see like i got a push push push push and i mean i was like that when i first

[Tyler Newton]: i mean you want to talk about not having a lot of hair right now i’m starting to

[Tyler Newton]: see grays well heck four years ago when i tried to build my own website i stayed

[Tyler Newton]: up for a month straight trying to figure out how to build my own website it was

[Tyler Newton]: probably a lot easier than i made it but at the time like i didn’t know any

[Tyler Newton]: better and i’m just trying to like youtube things like every day night my wife’s

[Tyler Newton]: just over there like hey it’s gonna to be okay i’m like no i got to get this up

[Tyler Newton]: and you get that one track mind if i got to finish this thing right nowadays i’m

[Tyler Newton]: like you know what it’s probably worth a lot of my time to pay somebody else to

[Tyler Newton]: take care of it so i can actually go focus on what i’m good at and i think as you

[Tyler Newton]: get through this entrepreneurial journey if you are

[Tyler Newton]: a business owner and you want to work for yourself you have to figure out what

[Tyler Newton]: you’re actually good at and what you suck at and if you suck at something go find

[Tyler Newton]: some way that’s good at it and there’s a lot of resources now where you can go

[Tyler Newton]: find labor for things that you don’t know that people can build out a website for

[Tyler Newton]: you now does it cost you money up front yeah it does and if you have the money it

[Tyler Newton]: it’s it’s you’re lucky at the time i didn’t have a lot of money to pay somebody

[Tyler Newton]: to build a website but now if i go in and i want to reconstruct my website i have

[Tyler Newton]: luckily a nest egg where i could pay somebody to go build me out a new website

[Tyler Newton]: which i’m actually doing right now so to me like that’s cool because i don’t have

[Tyler Newton]: to waste time on that i can just be a coach i can focus on my clients

[Nick McGowan]: depth

[Tyler Newton]: i can focus on how to make their programs better their life better now i’m

[Tyler Newton]: working on my business and not in my business and i think that’s really important

[Tyler Newton]: to understand is you have to know

[Tyler Newton]: what you’re good at what you suck at find people that can help you and take the

[Tyler Newton]: least amount of time to get it done and you can always go back and make revisions

[Tyler Newton]: like everybody has this perfectionist mindset i think is like entrepreneurs and i

[Tyler Newton]: actually rather move faster without perfection

[Tyler Newton]: then to move slower and it has to be perfect because even when you think it’s

[Tyler Newton]: perfect you’re gonna mess something up you’re gonna have to go back and fix it

[Tyler Newton]: eventually so you might as well go ahead and put it out there there’s been

[Tyler Newton]: several times where i put things out there and like people like respond back and

[Tyler Newton]: they’re like oh this isn’t working that’s not working i’m like okay cool like you

[Tyler Newton]: go back in refine it but at least i got it out there because the faster you get

[Tyler Newton]: it out there the faster you can fix it and a lot of times you don’t really know

[Tyler Newton]: what the problems are until you

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: launch so you might as

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: well go ahead and launch apologize and tell them hey i’ll make it

[Nick McGowan]: she

[Tyler Newton]: up for it and let it go but

[Nick McGowan]: let

[Tyler Newton]: people want to get so caught up in being perfect that they actually just never

[Tyler Newton]: get out of the starting gate and you

[Nick McGowan]: hm

[Tyler Newton]: got to get going before you really worry about that stuff

[Nick McGowan]: dude absolutely one hundred percent i think there are certain people that their

[Nick McGowan]: jam in life is to be organized i

[Tyler Newton]: not me

[Nick McGowan]: totally love organizing things and like i need to get everything together and

[Nick McGowan]: those typically are the people that are like all right so i’ve got the phone i’ve

[Nick McGowan]: got a piece of paper i’ve got a pen i’ve got some water oh i need to go to the

[Nick McGowan]: bathroom or quick it’s like just pick up the damn phone make the call do whatever

[Nick McGowan]: you got to do even if it’s launching your website or not launching the website so

[Nick McGowan]: taking those steps and just being okay with putting stuff out there that’s also

[Nick McGowan]: how you learn i mean when you said people will come back to you and go hey this

[Nick McGowan]: is broken how the hell else would you have known if somebody didn’t come back and

[Nick McGowan]: say something

[Nick McGowan]: so taking those steps are huge for people but a lot of people don’t get to that

[Nick McGowan]: point where they take the steps now do you kind of think of yourself as i’m just

[Nick McGowan]: gonna move fast and break things

[Nick McGowan]: or do you think of are you cautious throughout stuff too or what

[Tyler Newton]: yeah i mean i like to move fast but then sometimes

[Tyler Newton]: i have to say like i’ll also move slow cause i’m a very visual person so if i

[Tyler Newton]: can’t visualize something it’s hard for me to move fast but if i see the visual

[Tyler Newton]: then i can work really fast and get it done so for me it kind of

[Nick McGowan]: she

[Tyler Newton]: depends on where i’m at you know i was on the phone with my assistant the other

[Tyler Newton]: day who’s helping me redo my website and i was getting very overwhelmed because

[Tyler Newton]: i’m like i just can’t see what you’re talking about right now like we’re saying

[Tyler Newton]: the same thing but i can’t see it so i don’t know how to give you more direction

[Tyler Newton]: right now so then we had to kind of take a step back and be like okay like what

[Tyler Newton]: are the easy things that we can go ahead and knock out just to get moving and

[Tyler Newton]: then we’ll come back to the drawing board later on once we have more of a visual

[Tyler Newton]: for you to see and i was like okay perfect like let’s go knock that out and so

[Tyler Newton]: last night you know i knocked out the three things that we talked about that’d be

[Tyler Newton]: like super easy because i wasn’t even moving because i’m like i don’t know i

[Tyler Newton]: don’t have clarity right i think

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: clarity is more of the kicker there than anything else when you have clarity you

[Tyler Newton]: can move a lot faster when you

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: lack clarity you get stuck in your own you get stuck

[Nick McGowan]: just

[Tyler Newton]: basically and so having clarity i think excels you to move forward faster and

[Tyler Newton]: without that you’re going to kind of sit there and spin your wheels

[Tyler Newton]: so for me i’m not somebody that’s just going like hurry up and like throw

[Tyler Newton]: something out there i want to one be passionate about what i’m about to put out

[Tyler Newton]: there two i want to make sure i know exactly how i want it to reach my clients

[Tyler Newton]: and then three

[Tyler Newton]: if i mess it up i’ll fix it like it’s fine

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: so i’m not the most organized person that’s why i have somebody that helps me

[Tyler Newton]: stay organized because once again i know where i’m weak and where i’m strong and

[Tyler Newton]: organization was never my strong suit so

[Tyler Newton]: it just comes back to you know having clarity and knowing what i’m strong at and

[Tyler Newton]: focusing on what i do best which is coach people

[Nick McGowan]: he

[Tyler Newton]: and help them lose weight or and feel their best and as long as i can focus on

[Tyler Newton]: that and then the other task i have people helping me with

[Tyler Newton]: i’m gonna be okay

[Nick McGowan]: i think something for our listeners is the awareness that you have the fact that

[Nick McGowan]: you understand what your parameters are like i know where my bumpers are in a

[Nick McGowan]: sense i think bowling with your shitty at bowling and put up the bumpers so you

[Nick McGowan]: can still play the game with the rest of us you know as long as you know where

[Nick McGowan]: your bumpers are and you’re like hey i’m good at these things but i’m really not

[Nick McGowan]: good at these other things

[Nick McGowan]: that was not something you were born with ’cause nobody

[Tyler Newton]: no

[Nick McGowan]: really is so are there any points in life or any moments in time that stand out

[Nick McGowan]: to you where you’re like right there is where i learned how to do this

[Tyler Newton]: you know i i think a lot of what i’ve learned is just from paying for mentors um

[Tyler Newton]: and and learning from them to be honest i’m i’m someone that loves to be coached

[Tyler Newton]: because i love to coach people so for me

[Tyler Newton]: i i love learning from people that i view as where i want to go and so for me the

[Tyler Newton]: best way to learn where i need to go and how to do it is to pay people that are

[Tyler Newton]: actually doing it and learning from there and so for me i think it’s a chain

[Tyler Newton]: event of as you

[Tyler Newton]: level up you’re going to keep getting higher and higher with somebody else that’s

[Tyler Newton]: above you or above them so for me right now

[Nick McGowan]: question

[Tyler Newton]: like i have a business coach and i’ve learned so much from him and he’s really

[Tyler Newton]: taught me a lot about business and just life in general

[Tyler Newton]: and so having conversations with him to where he also

[Tyler Newton]: points out my strong suits he points out my weaknesses and how to do that that’s

[Tyler Newton]: where i think i became become the most self aware and

[Nick McGowan]: look

[Tyler Newton]: that’s how when you were talking about bumpers i think it was from having

[Tyler Newton]: somebody that could take that thirty thousand foot view of me and relay that back

[Tyler Newton]: to me of like hey like this just isn’t something you’re shun at so like why don’t

[Tyler Newton]: we look at this option i’m like oh

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: okay cool because

[Tyler Newton]: we get in our own ways because we don’t know what we’re not good at because we

[Nick McGowan]: so

[Tyler Newton]: don’t we’re not asking for help and i think that’s where a lot of entrepreneurs

[Tyler Newton]: actually mess up is

[Tyler Newton]: in my twenties i think i was in probably even in my teens i was a very big know

[Tyler Newton]: at all more than likely i don’t want to admit that but i think i have to admit

[Tyler Newton]: that

[Nick McGowan]: i think you just did

[Tyler Newton]: because we all probably were like that

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: um and so i think as i got older and just wiser from you know being an adult i

[Tyler Newton]: just started learning like hey you don’t know what it’s like to do these things

[Tyler Newton]: so you need to go learn

[Tyler Newton]: and

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: once i kind of got out of my own way of saying no i can do this on my own and

[Tyler Newton]: started paying for it and seeing like

[Tyler Newton]: my coach’s success and him then teaching me what to do next i think that was just

[Tyler Newton]: a big breakthrough that i needed and understood now okay like there’s certain

[Tyler Newton]: levels to this that you don’t even have any clue how to do

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: so now that you have somebody in your corner that can teach

[Nick McGowan]: she

[Tyler Newton]: you this you’re going to be able to move a lot faster and so i just always t want

[Tyler Newton]: people to realize

[Nick McGowan]: that’s

[Tyler Newton]: you might pay a lot of money for a coach or a mentor and don’t get me wrong

[Tyler Newton]: there’s some good ones and some bad ones so you know you want to vet that very

[Tyler Newton]: carefully

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: but when you find a good one you’re going to make your money back as an

[Tyler Newton]: entrepreneur and so it’s scary to pay a lot of money up front to not know what

[Tyler Newton]: the actual return is but i also think that comes back on you like if you do the

[Tyler Newton]: work because these people have obviously done this if you do what they tell you

[Tyler Newton]: to do you’re probably going to make your money back and then it’s okay it’s worth

[Tyler Newton]: it but if you don’t do what they’re teaching you just like in anything you know

[Tyler Newton]: you can go back to grade school if you don’t do the work you’re not going to

[Tyler Newton]: learn so you have to do the work yourself and they’re there to guide you like any

[Tyler Newton]: coach just like i do with my clients if i teach you something and i tell you what

[Tyler Newton]: to do i can’t then force you to go eat healthier you have to stop going to

[Tyler Newton]: mcdonald’s and burger king and wendy’s and bojangles like

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: i can’t force you to do that but if you take what i’m telling you and you apply

[Tyler Newton]: it then you can be successful and and that just goes with any level there’s

[Tyler Newton]: always the education and i think where most people mess up in any type of

[Tyler Newton]: coaching is the application of the education because we

[Nick McGowan]: okay

[Tyler Newton]: have the internet can probably learn a lot of the stuff that my own coach is

[Tyler Newton]: teaching me off the internet but the

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: way he applies it and the way that he does it

[Nick McGowan]: cool

[Tyler Newton]: resonates with me right so him being able to apply what he’s learned and to what

[Tyler Newton]: should be done down to me is a really key step in me being able to succeed

[Tyler Newton]: so

[Tyler Newton]: that then translates to me being very successful in knowing nutrition and

[Tyler Newton]: exercise and now i need to learn how to apply what i know to each client as an

[Tyler Newton]: individual

[Tyler Newton]: so people all the time are like how do you know so much or you know why do i do

[Tyler Newton]: this because a lot of coaches in my space will just tell you hey here’s your

[Nick McGowan]: cool

[Tyler Newton]: macros here’s what i want you to eat go do it well we all know

[Tyler Newton]: when it comes to dieting and exercise that no not everybody’s the same you have

[Tyler Newton]: to be able to relay your message in different ways depending upon the person so

[Tyler Newton]: you have to know people and you have to know how to take the education and help

[Tyler Newton]: them apply it in their day to day life and if you can do that you can be very

[Tyler Newton]: very successful as a coach in my business but there’s a lot of smart coaches out

[Tyler Newton]: there who i’ll never be able to

[Tyler Newton]: speak above because they’re so book smart but yet they are so broke because they

[Tyler Newton]: don’t know how to take what’s in the book and apply it to the individual and so i

[Tyler Newton]: think that’s really key for a lot of people is understanding the application of

[Tyler Newton]: things

[Nick McGowan]: yeah and especially seeking help uh be it a coach be it a therapist psychiatrist

[Nick McGowan]: counselor a friend anybody to be able to talk to about that stuff there are

[Nick McGowan]: levels to all of this the awareness then the seeking and the accountability and

[Nick McGowan]: these are all things that literally most people don’t do because they get to the

[Nick McGowan]: point where they think oh man there’s a lot of to do i’m just gonna go eat a

[Nick McGowan]: sandwich and go watch some netflix oh ozark you know what i mean and just be able

[Nick McGowan]: to go into that and push a thing away so i think one of the big takeaways here is

[Nick McGowan]: to be able to push through that and understand like hey you got to have grace for

[Nick McGowan]: yourself you got to love yourself and you got to be real with yourself and no

[Nick McGowan]: like i am great at talking to people but i am terrible at organizing things or i

[Nick McGowan]: am great at organizing things but terrified of having have a conversation with

[Nick McGowan]: people if that’s the thing to get people around you that can help and you’ve gone

[Nick McGowan]: that step of finding coaches and hiring coaches there are people that listen to

[Nick McGowan]: this podcast that i can almost guarantee you’re sitting on their the couch or

[Nick McGowan]: maybe they’re sitting in their office wherever they’re at listening to this and

[Nick McGowan]: they have an idea they have something they want to do do you have any advice for

[Nick McGowan]: them to take that next step

[Tyler Newton]: well i mean for me if if you have a great idea and here’s the other thing

[Tyler Newton]: if you tell somebody you have an idea and they don’t support it it probably just

[Tyler Newton]: means that they don’t see the idea like they can’t visualize it and you can’t let

[Tyler Newton]: that get you down right for the longest time my brother called what i did a hobby

[Tyler Newton]: for crying out loud

[Nick McGowan]: oh

[Tyler Newton]: until i showed him how much i made and then i was like hey my hobby’s going

[Tyler Newton]: pretty well by the way right and so nowadays like when we have this conversation

[Tyler Newton]: and now he just bought a business himself and so i’m like hey welcome to

[Tyler Newton]: entrepreneurship and being a business owner man you’re going to quickly learn

[Tyler Newton]: like what all there is to do

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: and so for me it’s when you have an idea you have to just take action first and

[Tyler Newton]: foremost right you’re gonna rely on motivation at first but the action steps that

[Tyler Newton]: you take and the boring work and i say this a lot

[Tyler Newton]: what i do and what i coach is actually really boring because you have to keep

[Tyler Newton]: doing it over and over again you have to be consistent with it right

[Tyler Newton]: so when you have motivation that’s great but you can’t rely on motivation because

[Tyler Newton]: that’s a fleeting feeling when you start to actually take action and you just do

[Tyler Newton]: the day to day mundane shit over and over and over

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: again guess what happens it becomes a lot easier and then you start to build upon

[Tyler Newton]: that and then you can start to knock off different tasks that you want along the

[Tyler Newton]: way i think most people have this big idea and they don’t understand all the

[Tyler Newton]: little things that they’re going to have to do day to day to keep it up and so

[Tyler Newton]: you have to go take the small action steps that you can knock out do right away

[Tyler Newton]: to get the ball rolling and so many people just sit on an idea that could

[Tyler Newton]: actually be the next great idea but because they’re so afraid of not being

[Tyler Newton]: motivated or not knowing what to do that they just never do anything at all and

[Tyler Newton]: you’d rather actually go out there and kind of mess up and learn because

[Tyler Newton]: you know i actually don’t like social media i’m on social media a lot and not

[Tyler Newton]: have to be because that’s the only way you grow in a digital age now but for the

[Tyler Newton]: longest time i did not want to put myself out on social media i did not want to

[Tyler Newton]: do that i still sometimes will sit here for like an hour and be like god dang it

[Tyler Newton]: like i really do not want to post this right now this is like it is so stupid

[Tyler Newton]: half the time but yet we are now on tick tock like doing pointy things for ten

[Tyler Newton]: seconds and like we’re boosted in an algorithm that now takes you to the next

[Tyler Newton]: level or something like that and i’m like that was the dumbest thing i’ve ever

[Tyler Newton]: seen in my life like but you’re telling me this is how i have to get clients like

[Tyler Newton]: that sucks i’d rather come talk long form and let people get to know me and i

[Tyler Newton]: want to bring people in that way so

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: it’s figuring out what you’re good at and what you want to do and taking those

[Tyler Newton]: steps and doing it over and over again and if something is uncomfortable you

[Tyler Newton]: probably hear this all the time but really truly it’s so true you have to learn

[Tyler Newton]: to become uncomfortable but be comfortable being uncomfortable and the more you

[Tyler Newton]: can get past being uncomfortable all the time the quicker you’re going to

[Tyler Newton]: actually c because when you step into being uncomfortable that’s probably where

[Tyler Newton]: you’re going to learn the most and that’s where you’re actually going to then

[Tyler Newton]: start to see the most growth in whatever venture you’re in or whatever venture

[Tyler Newton]: you’re doing so for me social media was very

[Nick McGowan]: okay

[Tyler Newton]: uncomfortable at first me going live

[Tyler Newton]: and doing a facebook live for five or ten minutes used to be the scariest thing

[Tyler Newton]: ever if you go back two years ago whenever i first started going live on my

[Tyler Newton]: facebook to try to like tell people i’m an online coach now i would sit my truck

[Tyler Newton]: because i didn’t have a cool desk with like blue lights and all this stuff my

[Tyler Newton]: truck was my safe space like i felt comfortable going live in my truck and that

[Tyler Newton]: was like the only way i could go live otherwise i would never do it because i

[Tyler Newton]: didn’t want my wife to be around i didn’t want other people to be around like i

[Tyler Newton]: didn’t

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: want to be that person that you see on like influencers in the wild like didn’t

[Tyler Newton]: want to be that guy right so i would sit in my truck like a little kid and just

[Tyler Newton]: like go live

[Tyler Newton]: inside of my truck and it became a joke amongst me and my friends that like oh

[Tyler Newton]: hey like is your truck your office and i’m like yeah as a matter of fact it kind

[Tyler Newton]: of is now because i that’s where i do so much stuff and so i was really

[Tyler Newton]: uncomfortable doing that but i made this challenge with myself that i was gonna

[Tyler Newton]: do it for thirty days straight and so i went

[Nick McGowan]: nice

[Tyler Newton]: for thirty days straight i went live for four or five minutes and just ask people

[Tyler Newton]: hey what do you want me to talk about or like what can i talk about today and

[Tyler Newton]: just try to provide some information for people and after thirty days i started

[Tyler Newton]: to learn wow like i actually have a lot of people that are kind of like hitting

[Tyler Newton]: me up and starting to kind of dig what i’m doing and what i’m saying and people

[Tyler Newton]: are seeing value now and so for me it was the scariest thing and i was super

[Tyler Newton]: uncomfortable doing it but then you kind of get that first win and then you’re

[Tyler Newton]: like oh shoot like i actually touch somebody and like they’re going to go do

[Tyler Newton]: something now with the information i provided that’s really cool

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: and so in that sense you start to kind of build that momentum up in yourself

[Tyler Newton]: where you start to believe in yourself and i think most people just need to find

[Tyler Newton]: the belief in themselves first

[Tyler Newton]: and that’s really hard because when you first start working on something you

[Tyler Newton]: don’t really know how it’s gonna turn out like you’re kind of guessing and you’re

[Tyler Newton]: really excited but then you kind of get nervous and you clamp up a little bit and

[Tyler Newton]: that’s okay but if you lean into that and then you keep pushing through and you

[Tyler Newton]: push yourself outside of that comfort zone then you’re gonna be okay and i think

[Tyler Newton]: a lot of us are like afraid to get called out to when we mess up and i i think

[Tyler Newton]: that’s what

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: keeps a lot of us from really reaching our potential and so sometimes you just

[Tyler Newton]: have to accept hey if you mess up you mess up and go apologize if you have to

[Tyler Newton]: like own your shit so to speak it’s okay

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: like i’ve had somebody call me out before hell if you go read my post my wife

[Tyler Newton]: calls me out all the time i’m poor grammar and i’m like i’m just trying to get it

[Tyler Newton]: over with like i i read it once

[Nick McGowan]: sure

[Tyler Newton]: and if i miss it i miss it like i’m sorry it’s just gonna be what it is but i

[Tyler Newton]: don’t have all day to sit here and try to like proof for it i have like ten other

[Tyler Newton]: things going on in my brain i gotta get it out there

[Tyler Newton]: and and so it happens but just keep leaning into it and people will find out who

[Tyler Newton]: you are and they’ll like you for you and just be who you are don’t try to be the

[Tyler Newton]: person you see on the other side of the screen and act like them because if

[Tyler Newton]: that’s not you then it’s gonna show up in whatever you do so you have to just be

[Tyler Newton]: who you are and be authentic to yourself when you’re authentic to yourself people

[Tyler Newton]: will resonate with that authenticity and i think nowadays more than ever you have

[Tyler Newton]: to be showing who you really are

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: because we’ve already been through the age whereby is a pretender and now you’re

[Tyler Newton]: gonna get called out for it so own up to who you are be comfortable with who you

[Tyler Newton]: are and i’m sure you’re going to create an army behind you of people that think

[Tyler Newton]: like you

[Nick McGowan]: yeah you’ve got people that

[Nick McGowan]: uh really

[Nick McGowan]: try to make a face like i think i think of the sales people that pick up phones

[Nick McGowan]: and they become somebody else like instead of being like hey thanks go blah blah

[Nick McGowan]: blah i’m nick how are you know just being they’re like hello and thank you for

[Nick McGowan]: calling blah blah blah’s like who the fuck is that guy where did he come from

[Nick McGowan]: this isn’t real what is your problem

[Nick McGowan]: and they try to put on this face and i think some people feel like they have to

[Nick McGowan]: because they’re unsure they’re not clear and they d therefore they don’t have

[Nick McGowan]: confidence they don’t know what they want that to be where if we think about it

[Nick McGowan]: this way tyler if you weren’t being authentic think about the ship people that

[Nick McGowan]: you would pull in that

[Tyler Newton]: yeah

[Nick McGowan]: are not the people that you want so the more authentic you can be the more

[Nick McGowan]: attractive you’ll be to the people that are like hey that person’s kind of

[Nick McGowan]: similar to me and we all want to work with people that we’re similar to it’s just

[Nick McGowan]: like no matter what business you’re in if you’re in your own business if you have

[Nick McGowan]: business you you nine to five whatever that is there are certain companies that

[Nick McGowan]: can’t pick the clients that they want to have and there’s certain companies and

[Nick McGowan]: people that go hey this isn’t a good fit and wouldn’t you rather be in that spot

[Nick McGowan]: where you go hey i don’t think this is the right fit or to say to somebody hey

[Nick McGowan]: this is an absolute perfect fit

[Tyler Newton]: yeah i mean it takes me back to when i used to do cold calling for a logistics

[Tyler Newton]: company right and i remember

[Tyler Newton]: i remember whenever i finally started to feel bad about the job that i was in

[Tyler Newton]: whenever so if you don’t know what logistics is i work for a freight brokering

[Tyler Newton]: company and i was the middle guy between the truck drivers and the shippers or

[Tyler Newton]: receivers and what would basically happen is i’m trying to make money off the

[Tyler Newton]: difference between the shipper and the receiver and the truck driver so if they

[Tyler Newton]: want twelve hundred dollars to go from florida to north carolina i’m trying to

[Tyler Newton]: pay them nine hundred so i make three hundred dollars profit and i

[Nick McGowan]: she

[Tyler Newton]: remember i had a manager and i had a truck driver basically fall off the face of

[Tyler Newton]: the earth and my

[Tyler Newton]: my boss or a company that um i was shipping it

[Nick McGowan]: she

[Tyler Newton]: to who was i guess my client is asking me like where’s the truck where’s the

[Tyler Newton]: truck and like my boss

[Nick McGowan]: sh

[Tyler Newton]: at inside the company was telling me like tell him you know where it is tell them

[Tyler Newton]: it’s here it and like i’m a terrible liar like you can ask my mom and my wife i

[Tyler Newton]: am terrible at lying you can read right through me whenever i’m telling a lie i’m

[Tyler Newton]: sitting here having to try to lie to this guy and i’m one of those people like

[Tyler Newton]: once you start like once i get going down a rabbit hole it’s pretty very easy to

[Tyler Newton]: pick me apart on a lie like i’m terrible at games where you have to lie and so i

[Tyler Newton]: knew from going there that like okay this is not for me because i cannot

[Tyler Newton]: authentically be me and in the sales conversations that you had to have with a

[Tyler Newton]: lot of these people

[Tyler Newton]: i just felt very inauthentic to myself and i

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: hated that feeling and so i only lasted a year and the bad part is though

[Tyler Newton]: i was actually pretty decent at being who i was and getting clients which is the

[Tyler Newton]: sad part but i left because of that feeling of having to feel inauthentic at the

[Tyler Newton]: same time when things went wrong like you weren’t allowed to just tell them like

[Tyler Newton]: hey you know what like this truck driver honestly um he he went rogue on me like

[Tyler Newton]: you you weren’t allowed to tell somebody that and their whole reason was like no

[Tyler Newton]: like you you want to make them trust you i’m like you make them trust you by

[Tyler Newton]: telling them the truth and just being up front like hey like for some reason this

[Tyler Newton]: guy got pissed off i don’t know whether it was his boss or what or he’s having

[Tyler Newton]: trouble with his wife like i can’t tell you but like he’s not picking up and i

[Tyler Newton]: just want you to know that they didn’t want you to say that and

[Nick McGowan]: hm

[Tyler Newton]: for me i’m like why not just be honest because now i have to keep thinking of the

[Tyler Newton]: lie and how to like back that lie i can’t do that i’m terrible of this and so

[Tyler Newton]: that feeling of like not being authentic to who i was ultimately led me to leave

[Tyler Newton]: because i couldn’t work for a company like that where i felt like i had to lie

[Tyler Newton]: about

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: who i was and so i just think it’s really important to to be

[Nick McGowan]: corn

[Tyler Newton]: who you are be honest you know in my profession like i’m not going to know

[Tyler Newton]: everything i’m sorry like i cannot know all that there is in the human body

[Tyler Newton]: because there are certain things that are not my niche but what i can’t say is

[Tyler Newton]: hey i don’t know but i have a plethora of people that i work alongside in this

[Tyler Newton]: space who i think i can reach out to and get an answer for you and most of the

[Tyler Newton]: time your clients are gonna be okay with that if you don’t know because

[Nick McGowan]: sure

[Tyler Newton]: you can’t know everything and so i feel much better now being able to tell

[Tyler Newton]: clients hey i just don’t know the answer to that that’s not really

[Nick McGowan]: situation

[Tyler Newton]: my scope but let me go figure it out for you can you give me a couple of days

[Tyler Newton]: yeah that’s fine cool now next thing i do i go reach out to my network and i say

[Tyler Newton]: hey guys like anybody ever worked with somebody like this yes i have cool let me

[Tyler Newton]: hitch up real quick i got a couple of questions go back

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: to the client like that to me is better than trying to tell that client oh no no

[Tyler Newton]: i know exactly how to fix this whenever i don’t have a freaking clue and

[Tyler Newton]: to be honest like when i first yeah and when i first started out i was so scared

[Nick McGowan]: yeah then you’re just lying

[Tyler Newton]: to say i didn’t

[Nick McGowan]: cool

[Tyler Newton]: know because i thought people would think i was like a fraud so you get scared to

[Tyler Newton]: say i don’t know and then i finally kind of got to a point and i was like why am

[Tyler Newton]: i trying to tell them i know or make something up whenever i’m actually then

[Tyler Newton]: not doing right by the client all

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: i’m doing is probably further hurting them so then you know you kind of come to

[Tyler Newton]: that realization of like alright you just got to step up and just say you don’t

[Tyler Newton]: know go figure out the answer and let them know you’re going to figure it out for

[Tyler Newton]: them and to this day like if i don’t have an answer i i tell them that i’m like

[Tyler Newton]: hey i don’t have an answer right now let me go figure this out let me go get some

[Tyler Newton]: help and then i’ll come back to you with what i got

[Nick McGowan]: yeah that

[Nick McGowan]: goes back to your being well it goes back to your being comfortable of being

[Tyler Newton]: and and you build trust

[Nick McGowan]: unfortu because in that point

[Tyler Newton]: yeah

[Nick McGowan]: you’re a resource for people you’re not just bullshitting them like hey i don’t

[Nick McGowan]: know this but you know what i’m gonna go do the leg work and i’m gonna go figure

[Nick McGowan]: this thing out for you and that definitely helps people

[Nick McGowan]: feel like they can trust you more so let’s take a little bit of a step back to

[Nick McGowan]: you sitting in your truck so you were like alright i need to do this thing and

[Nick McGowan]: i’m gonna set up my bumpers i’m gonna do this for thirty days and then you told

[Nick McGowan]: some people you told your wife you told a couple friends and there’s

[Nick McGowan]: accountability there and then you were like all right i am uncomfortable ain’t so

[Nick McGowan]: how do i do this sort of comfortably because you don’t want to completely you

[Nick McGowan]: know traumatize yourself as you’re trying to get into something so you made the

[Nick McGowan]: call of alright this is my comfort zone i’m gonna get in here i’m going to be

[Nick McGowan]: comfortable yet uncomfortable and then by the end of that was it really as scary

[Nick McGowan]: as you thought it was gonna be or were you like

[Nick McGowan]: i’m doing it

[Tyler Newton]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: you know it’s it was one of those things where

[Tyler Newton]: you you do it and then you

[Tyler Newton]: it’s it really comes down to i think impostor syndrome to be honest

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: because here’s the thing i see lane norton i see i’m the guy from uh jim jim army

[Tyler Newton]: i can’t say his last name like you see all these people out there that are like

[Tyler Newton]: really smart in your

[Nick McGowan]: sometimes

[Tyler Newton]: space and in your mind i go shoot i don’t think i know all the stuff that they

[Tyler Newton]: know but in reality what they’re doing is they’re speaking their level of

[Tyler Newton]: knowledge right and that’s what they are really good at i need to just speak to

[Tyler Newton]: what i know and what i’m really good at and if i just speak to my level

[Nick McGowan]: she

[Tyler Newton]: then i’m gonna be okay like i don’t need to try to impress other

[Nick McGowan]: awesome

[Tyler Newton]: coaches because other coaches aren’t paying me a general population of people is

[Tyler Newton]: paying me women and men that want to get stronger and lose weight who don’t know

[Tyler Newton]: jack shit about fitness and health are paying my bills

[Tyler Newton]: not the coach over here that has a million followers who i think is going to one

[Tyler Newton]: day see me and then like call me out and then all of a sudden like i’m gonna lose

[Tyler Newton]: my whole business they don’t know who i am

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: at all but yet in my mind i’m saying shoot i’m

[Nick McGowan]: cold

[Tyler Newton]: competing against them whenever i’m a baby minow trying to swim out in the ocean

[Tyler Newton]: like

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: i’m a nobody let’s be honest but

[Tyler Newton]: once you realize that and you understand that hey like you’re not on the big boy

[Tyler Newton]: level yet just speak to

[Nick McGowan]: just

[Tyler Newton]: who you know you can speak to and help once you get really clear on that you can

[Tyler Newton]: get rid of some of the impostor syndrome of wanting to compete with the people

[Tyler Newton]: that you idolize

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: and i think that’s the biggest problem is so many of us see our idols and we’re

[Tyler Newton]: trying to speak up to them when really and truly that’s not who we need to be

[Tyler Newton]: speaking to we need to be speaking to the people that are going to relate to you

[Tyler Newton]: who understand what you’re saying and feel that pain and

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: so when i can just simply speak to the pain of what i can fix with my clients

[Tyler Newton]: they’re going to resonate with that and then come over there and then i could

[Tyler Newton]: start to feel more comfortable with that

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: because once you understanding you’re speaking the same language as the people

[Tyler Newton]: you’re trying to help that’s when you can start to actually build your business

[Tyler Newton]: and get really comfortable because you see that they

[Tyler Newton]: need your help and that you can help them so being in my truck for thirty days

[Tyler Newton]: and going live and you know pushing that comfort zone it was actually really

[Tyler Newton]: freeing at the end of it because it started to help me get better at being on

[Tyler Newton]: camera started making me better at doing podcast i mean i remember the first time

[Tyler Newton]: i ever did

[Nick McGowan]: of course

[Tyler Newton]: a podcast and i was on one that is actually

[Tyler Newton]: in my space a pretty popular one and it through a connection with my coach and i

[Tyler Newton]: almost want to hit that guy back up and be like man i have no clue why you let me

[Tyler Newton]: on

[Nick McGowan]: ye round two

[Tyler Newton]: like i’d never done a podcast before i was so nervous and trying to be like i was

[Tyler Newton]: trying to sound way too cool and smart as if like i was on that level

[Tyler Newton]: and i just needed practice i just needed

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: practice at doing podcasting and being on a podcast and he kind of pop my cherry

[Tyler Newton]: and i go back and i listen to it sometimes and i’m like cad the mighty eye sucked

[Tyler Newton]: as on that podcast that was terrible

[Tyler Newton]: but you know you kind of have to fail again like it comes back to

[Nick McGowan]: co

[Tyler Newton]: it like i had to go on that podcast and just be afraid of what i was gonna sound

[Tyler Newton]: like in order to get over the

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: fear of what i was going to sound like and once you kind of mess up you’re almost

[Tyler Newton]: like what i can’t it up any worse than that can i like

[Tyler Newton]: that was pretty bad so it can

[Nick McGowan]: you

[Tyler Newton]: only go up from here right and

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: you know it’s the more once again the more you do it the more comfortable you get

[Tyler Newton]: with doing a podcast or being on video and talking to large groups of people

[Tyler Newton]: i run a challenge you know once a quarter and we had almost a hundred people in

[Tyler Newton]: our last challenge and i’m on a zoom call in front of close to seventy people out

[Tyler Newton]: of the one hundred that showed up and i’m like man this is pretty cool like i got

[Tyler Newton]: seventy freaking people here on a monday night

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: listening to me talk about fitness and nutrition that’s really cool and so for me

[Tyler Newton]: it’s like i had to kind of suck because the first time i ever ran a challenge

[Tyler Newton]: like that i think i had six or seven people show up and you know a year later i

[Tyler Newton]: have seventy some odd people

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: so it’s it’s step by step like where you are right now is probably where you’re

[Tyler Newton]: supposed to be but it doesn’t mean that’s where you have to stay you just have

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: to get the reps in and the more time you spend underneath the bar so to speak and

[Tyler Newton]: the better you get

[Tyler Newton]: being underneath the weight of the bar using gym terms the better you get you

[Tyler Newton]: know if i go and try to do a squat for the first time with a barbell on my back

[Tyler Newton]: it’s probably gonna look a little funky but the more that i do it and the more

[Tyler Newton]: weight that i add the stronger i get the better

[Nick McGowan]: then

[Tyler Newton]: at it i get and the more you progress to where you can then maybe i don’t know

[Tyler Newton]: squat three hundred four hundred pounds like over time

[Tyler Newton]: so i think with anything it’s just repetition

[Tyler Newton]: repetition and getting after it and just knowing that it’s not going to be

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: perfect it’s not going to always go the way that you envision it i mean i can

[Tyler Newton]: guarantee you this in my head the dream of like being on a podcast and like what

[Tyler Newton]: i would talk about you go to bed at night and you’re like oh yeah like i’m gonna

[Tyler Newton]: say this and it’s gonna to go this way and then it doesn’t go that way at all in

[Tyler Newton]: fact you’re like jesus christ like where were you going with that

[Tyler Newton]: so so you know like you just gotta learn in failure and and there’s i i tell my

[Tyler Newton]: clients this too i’m like every time you fail you grow every time you fail

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: you learn something new and as long as you don’t keep dwelling on the failure and

[Tyler Newton]: you actually look at what you’re going to learn from the failure you’ll get

[Tyler Newton]: better it doesn’t mean that it’s going to happen overnight but you will learn and

[Tyler Newton]: you will get better and it’s okay it’s okay to mess up we all are gonna mess up

[Tyler Newton]: we’re gonna to mess up way more than we succeed and you’re damn sure not going to

[Tyler Newton]: succeed on the first try so go fuck up it’s gonna be okay

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Nick McGowan]: run with that you know allow yourself to just screw it up and when we really

[Nick McGowan]: think about the people that are going to say anything bad or just talk shit to

[Nick McGowan]: you those are not the growth minded people those people aren’t going to be shitty

[Nick McGowan]: towards you it’s the trolls the people that live under bridges the

[Tyler Newton]: yeah

[Nick McGowan]: troglodytes of the world those are the ones who are going to be like you i got

[Nick McGowan]: things to say it’s like

[Tyler Newton]: yeah

[Nick McGowan]: okay

[Tyler Newton]: the the haters aren’t the people paying your bills so why you listen

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: to them like

[Nick McGowan]: yeah exactly

[Tyler Newton]: haters don’t pay your bills and if anything they might actually help you get

[Tyler Newton]: people that then will pay your bills because all you’re doing is boosting my

[Tyler Newton]: algorithm by commenting back and forth and i appreciate that bro so you know what

[Tyler Newton]: keep coming at me like keep

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: boosting my algorithm for me so it gets seen to ten more people and then ten more

[Tyler Newton]: people and the next thing i know like hey i’m i’m still

[Nick McGowan]: she

[Tyler Newton]: staying on top so

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: i it’s just funny because we’re afraid of what people are going to say but the

[Tyler Newton]: people that are going to call you out and the people that are going to hate on

[Tyler Newton]: you and like try to bring you down they’re either one they’ve never been where

[Tyler Newton]: you’re at or two they’re just gonna actually help fuel you to get to where you

[Tyler Newton]: want to go and every now and again like yeah you can get knocked down a peg but

[Tyler Newton]: as long as you don’t stop and you keep going you’re not going to fail i think

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: that’s the number one thing that most people have to learn in a growth mindset

[Tyler Newton]: and a self mastery mindset which is

[Tyler Newton]: if you fail you really only fail once you stop

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: and so if you don’t stop and you keep getting back up like rocky did and all of

[Tyler Newton]: his movies you’re gonna eventually win but you have to keep getting back up time

[Tyler Newton]: you choose to stop is when you actually truly fail so just don’t stop

[Nick McGowan]: yeah it’s just like pivoting you know a lot of people will look at the things

[Nick McGowan]: that they’re doing and they want to just keep doing that thing that they’ve

[Nick McGowan]: always done it’s always been sort of comfortable and they expect to get different

[Nick McGowan]: results which is literally the definition of insanity yet most people will do

[Nick McGowan]: that stuff a lot of that probably boils down to fear you know where they’re just

[Nick McGowan]: like i don’t know or even the thought of having that conversation back and forth

[Nick McGowan]: with some troll some people probably themselves right now where they’re like i

[Nick McGowan]: don’t want to get into that situation but that’s actually a beautiful situation

[Nick McGowan]: coz you can show up and you can speak elegantly or nicely or you know you can

[Nick McGowan]: pois it the right way and then be able to say hey this is where my thoughts are

[Nick McGowan]: specifically so the other people can see it and that’s a huge boost for you

[Tyler Newton]: yeah

[Nick McGowan]: so not only algorithm wise but it’s all your perspective at that point if you

[Nick McGowan]: look at it and go oh my god these trolls just leave me alone use it use the

[Nick McGowan]: trolls but for the most part trolls don’t really come out and just let them be

[Nick McGowan]: but we all fear that in the back of our minds because we think of the the crazy

[Nick McGowan]: thing that can happen instead of the super positive thing that could happen so if

[Nick McGowan]: you didn’t make that step in your truck you wouldn’t have had those seventy

[Nick McGowan]: people you wouldn’t have had all of those people come to you and think about all

[Nick McGowan]: the people you’ve helped that honestly dude you wouldn’t have they just wouldn’t

[Tyler Newton]: yeah

[Nick McGowan]: have gone

[Tyler Newton]: yeah i mean i i remember being in arizona

[Tyler Newton]: in december i was in arizona and i was at a coaching conference with a bunch of

[Tyler Newton]: other two hundred fifty coaches and one of the guys came up to me and he’s like

[Tyler Newton]: hey man i remember when you were making those videos and in your truck every day

[Tyler Newton]: and i just started laughing i was like yeah man that’s my office and he was like

[Tyler Newton]: well your office looks a little bit different now and i said yeah it does look a

[Tyler Newton]: little bit different now i’m i’m now in the guest bedroom slash my office as you

[Tyler Newton]: can see there’s a bed right behind me my wife hates that i took over this room

[Tyler Newton]: but i said hey i’m working from home now so i need an office can’t be working in

[Tyler Newton]: my truck all day and gas gets expensive

[Tyler Newton]: so and to me that was just a really good reminder that like man i even had other

[Tyler Newton]: coaches that were like watching my videos and

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: that’s pretty cool because now here i am a year later at a coaching conference

[Tyler Newton]: with two hundred fifty other coaches and this guy still remembers me being in my

[Tyler Newton]: truck for thirty three days talking to everybody going live and

[Tyler Newton]: it’s it’s just rewarding to know that other people paid attention and actually

[Tyler Newton]: some of the people that you look up to as a peer to peer you know him saying

[Tyler Newton]: something to me felt even better than a client saying something or remember

[Tyler Newton]: something because like i said earlier you know you’re always kind of thinking

[Tyler Newton]: like your peers like what are they going to say and half the time they’re

[Tyler Newton]: actually cheering for you too

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: at least in my community i’ve never met more people that are more supportive of

[Tyler Newton]: one another and want to see each other grow than in my community now granted

[Tyler Newton]: there’s probably some bad apples in there too but for the most part the majority

[Tyler Newton]: of the people that i’m surrounded by that i see really cheer each other

[Nick McGowan]: t

[Tyler Newton]: on and if anything we try to send each other clients who we think you might

[Tyler Newton]: actually work really well with which is a great thing in our space because we’re

[Tyler Newton]: not just in it for the money we’re here to try to actually generally help you and

[Tyler Newton]: we want to see you get better and we want you to live your best life

[Tyler Newton]: and so i think it’s really important when we get into business and trying to help

[Tyler Newton]: people if your intention is to honestly help people you don’t have to say yes to

[Tyler Newton]: everybody that wants to work with you you actually need to set them up with who

[Tyler Newton]: you think can help them the best and i think

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: that’s a really great thing right now in our business is i have such a large

[Tyler Newton]: network of coaching friends that if somebody comes to me with a problem that i’m

[Tyler Newton]: uncomfortable with i can say politely no but hey this person can really help you

[Tyler Newton]: and then i’m still actually helping that person by getting them the proper help

[Tyler Newton]: that they need from that person so i’m actually still fulfilling what i truly

[Tyler Newton]: want to do which is get people the help that they need from the right people even

[Tyler Newton]: if it’s not me but i had a hand in it at least

[Nick McGowan]: yeah you gotta do right by people and you

[Tyler Newton]: absolutely

[Nick McGowan]: gotta you gotta set expectations cause if you go i yeah i can help you with all

[Nick McGowan]: these things i don’t know what the fuck i’m doing with this they’re gonna figure

[Nick McGowan]: it out and

[Tyler Newton]: yeah

[Nick McGowan]: they’re gonna tell people and then that’s gonna come back and it’s gonna hurt you

[Nick McGowan]: and honestly i think some people need to go through that i’ve been in that spot

[Nick McGowan]: before with businesses that i’ve had where i’m like yeah i could do it to turn

[Nick McGowan]: around i’m like i don’t know how we’re gonna do this but i sold it and sometimes

[Nick McGowan]: you gotta learn the hard way but you also gotta learn like that level of

[Nick McGowan]: aggravation you want to go through

[Tyler Newton]: oh yeah

[Nick McGowan]: so you think of the clients that you work with and all the craziness with the

[Nick McGowan]: pandemic i know that people are going through stuff right now so how are you

[Nick McGowan]: helping your clients not only managing their nutrition and their fitness but

[Nick McGowan]: managing their mind how are you helping them with that

[Tyler Newton]: you know it’s actually funny i joke around with my wife all the time and i tell

[Tyler Newton]: her i probably should have went to school to be a psychologist or a therapist

[Tyler Newton]: because you know for us i really love to get into the inner work with my clients

[Tyler Newton]: i think a lot of us

[Nick McGowan]: she

[Tyler Newton]: don’t understand that a lot of our struggles with eating correctly and exercise

[Tyler Newton]: stems from things in our childhood and so i think a lot of people actually need

[Tyler Newton]: to kind of go back and reassess things that have happened in their life to really

[Tyler Newton]: understand what got them to where they are today and so for me i like to

[Tyler Newton]: backtrack and unpack a lot of things for my clients when i talk to them to really

[Tyler Newton]: get to the why like why are you eating this way why are you

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: doing this why are you self sabotaging yourself because as a coach the most

[Tyler Newton]: powerful word that i have is why and then i keep digging on that by asking okay

[Tyler Newton]: why again and i just think that as a coach

[Tyler Newton]: anybody

[Nick McGowan]: she

[Tyler Newton]: can go online and get a macro prescription right like being a nutrition coach

[Tyler Newton]: everybody was like so what do you do and i’m like well i actually like help you

[Tyler Newton]: figure out like what’s wrong with you and why you can’t lose weight and then i

[Tyler Newton]: give you workouts and some other things and it really doesn’t sound that sexy but

[Tyler Newton]: i can sex it up if you want to and sound all smartt but let me just tell you this

[Tyler Newton]: like i’m gonna be with you every step of the way i’m gonna know when to pull the

[Tyler Newton]: right strings on your diet so you’re gonna have that guidance and then from there

[Tyler Newton]: i’m going to help your mindset around why you struggle already and i think people

[Tyler Newton]: lose sight of that when they are trying to hire a coach because you’re so

[Tyler Newton]: programmed to everybody doing the work for you

[Nick McGowan]: hey

[Tyler Newton]: hey here’s the food you’re gonna eat here’s how much you’re gonna eat here’s how

[Tyler Newton]: they’re gonna do x y and z and people are just given templates and they’re like

[Tyler Newton]: oh i can follow this until life happens

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: and for me as a coach if you don’t want to be educated then i’m probably the

[Tyler Newton]: wrong coach for you because i never tell

[Nick McGowan]: two

[Tyler Newton]: a client to do something without them understanding why they need to do that and

[Tyler Newton]: they cause an effect it has on their body

[Tyler Newton]: so to me

[Tyler Newton]: if you just want macros hey cool here’s an app you can just plug and play put

[Tyler Newton]: your body weight put your height your age it’ll tell you what it is go from there

[Tyler Newton]: if you want somebody to work with you step by step and actually understand you

[Tyler Newton]: and work on the mindset around why you fear carbs why you feel like you have to

[Tyler Newton]: go keto why you have to do paleo like whatever diet you want to do the first

[Tyler Newton]: thing i always ask my clients i go i don’t care what diet structure you want to

[Tyler Newton]: do because let’s be very clear when we’re talking about different diets we’re

[Tyler Newton]: talking about the structure within a diet a diet is what you eat on a regular

[Tyler Newton]: basis so it can look like keto it can look like paleo it can be whole thirty it

[Tyler Newton]: can be carnivore now whatever you want it if it fits your macros cool whatever

[Tyler Newton]: you want to do don’t care as long as it’s gonna work for you for the next year

[Tyler Newton]: two five or ten what is going to work for you for a long

[Nick McGowan]: sure

[Tyler Newton]: period of time if you’re telling me you want to do keto just because you heard

[Tyler Newton]: nancy down the street lost thirty pounds while doing keto

[Tyler Newton]: no like that’s not the right diet for you if you generally have something wrong

[Tyler Newton]: where like carbs really mess with you okay cool now we can look at like why to do

[Tyler Newton]: keto that’s fine if you tell me you wanna sit there and

[Tyler Newton]: do

[Tyler Newton]: crossfit and you’re only eating fifty grams of carbs maybe a hundred i’m gonna

[Tyler Newton]: look at you and say hey like you need to up your carbs well i always gain weight

[Tyler Newton]: when i eat carbs i’m like no you just haven’t been eating enough and your body’s

[Tyler Newton]: metabolic adapted right so then i can go down that rapid hole of like once again

[Tyler Newton]: why carbs are good for you do you have to have carbs well no we’ve seen people do

[Tyler Newton]: the ketogenic diet but if you’re not going to go keto then you need carbs so you

[Tyler Newton]: know i need to give you education around why you should be doing whatever that

[Tyler Newton]: you’re doing and how to fit that in there i just think that’s really important

[Tyler Newton]: and a lot of people miss out on that inside of our business

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: and

[Tyler Newton]: to me when you go into the mindset of digging around why they want to do things

[Tyler Newton]: inside of their diet and their lifestyle that’s when you actually can coach them

[Tyler Newton]: the best because what a lot of people don’t understand is their mindset is oh

[Tyler Newton]: well i just need to eat less exercise more well what happens when somebody’s been

[Tyler Newton]: eating twelve hundred calories and you tell them to eat less and exercise more

[Tyler Newton]: well they’re just creating a further adaptation away from their set point and

[Tyler Newton]: nobody’s going to tell them they actually need to eat more people are just going

[Tyler Newton]: to keep telling them hey eat less exercise more only driving them further and

[Tyler Newton]: further away from where they actually need to be which then guess what when we

[Tyler Newton]: look underneath the hood they probably have thyroid issues they have gut issue

[Tyler Newton]: there’s so many other things that go on that people need to be aware of and so

[Tyler Newton]: this is why when you get into the y and the mindset behind why people do things

[Tyler Newton]: it actually helps you be able to coach them on the right things to get them the

[Tyler Newton]: result that they want yeah their issue is and anybody listening to this and

[Tyler Newton]: struggling with your diet be patient with yourself it’s just like a business

[Tyler Newton]: right like if you’re on here and you’re an entrepreneur like your business didn’t

[Tyler Newton]: go from zero to a million

[Tyler Newton]: overnight well you’re not going to lose the forty pounds you’ packed on over the

[Tyler Newton]: last six years overnight so be patient there’s a lot of steps you have to go

[Tyler Newton]: through to get where you want yes some people can get there quicker than others

[Tyler Newton]: but everybody’s different everybody’s very individualized and unique so you have

[Tyler Newton]: to understand what is right for somebody else might not be right for you and we

[Tyler Newton]: have to figure that out

[Nick McGowan]: yeah there’s a couple main things that come back again it’s awareness and

[Nick McGowan]: accountability and action those people need to take action the fact that your

[Nick McGowan]: clients are asking you those questions is great but the fact that they became a

[Nick McGowan]: client is the first step the fact

[Tyler Newton]: yeah

[Nick McGowan]: that they actually started to look and go wait i can’t do this anymore i keep

[Nick McGowan]: stuffing back a sleeve of oreos

[Nick McGowan]: every frig night or whatever that looks like and getting into their mind of well

[Nick McGowan]: what is it well you’re dealing with stress or you’re having problems within your

[Nick McGowan]: marriage or you know whatever these things are but take that action so i know

[Nick McGowan]: that you’ve gone through a lot of stuff and

[Tyler Newton]: yeah

[Nick McGowan]: that you had some things that happened to you when you were younger that have led

[Nick McGowan]: you to this spot what sort of advice would you give to anybody that’s kind of

[Nick McGowan]: sitting on that cusp they’re like yeah this is that year i’m gonna do

[Tyler Newton]: yeah

[Nick McGowan]: it this year

[Tyler Newton]: i mean like like anything i mean if if there’s something that you keep saying

[Tyler Newton]: you’re going to do this year

[Tyler Newton]: well if you’ve been putting it off year after year then what’s gonna make this

[Tyler Newton]: year any different

[Tyler Newton]: i mean let’s be honest with ourselves if you’ve been having the same goal for two

[Tyler Newton]: three years what is going to help you change and a lot of times you have to kind

[Tyler Newton]: of reverse engineer and think back to like what it is like you really want to do

[Tyler Newton]: and how you’re going to do it and

[Nick McGowan]: she just

[Tyler Newton]: just take one step at a time

[Tyler Newton]: if if you’re saying you’re gonna get in shape and this is going to be the year

[Tyler Newton]: you actually go to the gym and get in shape we have to at least go show up at the

[Tyler Newton]: gym just drive to the parking lot i guarantee this if you struggle to go to the

[Tyler Newton]: gym just drive to the parking lot and walk in that could be step number one and

[Tyler Newton]: you could literally go to the gym walk in and go to the treadmill for five

[Tyler Newton]: minutes call it a day and then do the same thing the next day

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: do the same thing the third day do it the fourth day until you’re ready to

[Tyler Newton]: do the same thing the third day do it the fourth day until you’re ready to

[Tyler Newton]: actually maybe go for fifteen minutes and maybe you go for fifteen minutes then

[Tyler Newton]: actually maybe go for fifteen minutes and maybe you go for fifteen minutes then

[Tyler Newton]: and every day you go walk for fifteen minutes at the gym but you’re there you’re

[Tyler Newton]: and every day you go walk for fifteen minutes at the gym but you’re there you’re

[Tyler Newton]: doing the step and so i just always come back to if you’re going to do something

[Tyler Newton]: doing the step and so i just always come back to if you’re going to do something

[Tyler Newton]: just do it and figure it out along the way

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: when i first got into fitness for myself i didn’t even know what the macros were

[Tyler Newton]: i literally was on my phone trying to figure out what are macros right and then i

[Tyler Newton]: learned what macros were and i was like oh this is pretty simple like i can make

[Tyler Newton]: this work and then you know you start digging in a little bit deeper and then you

[Tyler Newton]: kind of go a little bit deeper and you know the funniest story of really how i

[Tyler Newton]: kind of became really into fitness again and then that led me to being a personal

[Tyler Newton]: trainer was the night my wife tapped me on the stomach and told me i was getting

[Tyler Newton]: a dad not at the age

[Nick McGowan]: oh

[Tyler Newton]: of twenty six like i was like what the hell so guess

[Nick McGowan]: oh

[Tyler Newton]: what action i took the next day i woke up at fuck five a m and i went to the gym

[Tyler Newton]: and i started working out and then i dove in and i’m luckily the type of person

[Tyler Newton]: where i go zero to one hundred real quick with anything that i get really

[Tyler Newton]: passionate about and little did she know seven years later i was going to be

[Tyler Newton]: running my own business out of our home and be on a six figure run rate but it’s

[Tyler Newton]: just funny how like that one little thing like just clicked in my mind because i

[Tyler Newton]: couldn’t see it in myself but somebody

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: else saw it coming and then gave me the warning of hey you know this isn’t who

[Tyler Newton]: you want to be and so sometimes you have to actually look for the door that’s

[Tyler Newton]: opening in front of you and actually step through it people are always like i’m

[Tyler Newton]: just waiting for a sign and i’m like well you can see the sign but if you don’t

[Tyler Newton]: actually walk through the door then you’re never actually going to get the result

[Tyler Newton]: that you want from that sign so

[Nick McGowan]: she

[Tyler Newton]: it’s important for people to know that they aren’t alone but half the time you

[Tyler Newton]: have to just step out the comfort of what you know and do something

[Tyler Newton]: say no to things like so many people were afraid to say no to other people and a

[Tyler Newton]: lot of times when you actually need to grow you actually need to learn the word

[Tyler Newton]: no more than the word yes could you’re probably saying yes to the wrong things

[Tyler Newton]: and know to the things that you need to be saying no to so think about that next

[Tyler Newton]: time

[Nick McGowan]: interesting

[Tyler Newton]: you want to do something and you’re like oh man like i really want to go start my

[Tyler Newton]: own business and then your boys are like hey man we’re gonna go out for happy

[Tyler Newton]: hour and they’re like uh which one should i do well you should probably go work

[Tyler Newton]: on your businesses plan and not go out for drinks because anybody that’s made

[Tyler Newton]: anything

[Tyler Newton]: it

[Nick McGowan]: that

[Tyler Newton]: starts by getting around people that want the same thing that you want

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: and saying no to the people that aren’t actually making you better is really hard

[Tyler Newton]: to do but once you get used to that you really start to grow because you become

[Tyler Newton]: your own person you’re not

[Nick McGowan]: h

[Tyler Newton]: relying on other people to kind of lead you to what they’re doing

[Tyler Newton]: because i see very few people that go to five o’clock happy hours running their

[Tyler Newton]: own business

[Tyler Newton]: it’s usually the same guys who’ve been do like i see some guys still

[Nick McGowan]: used

[Tyler Newton]: when i go downtown when i used to be in

[Nick McGowan]: to be any

[Tyler Newton]: my twenties and i go downtown very

[Tyler Newton]: every so often and i still

[Nick McGowan]: just

[Tyler Newton]: see the same guys running around downtown and i’m like this is coming up on like

[Tyler Newton]: eight years of when i used to be a bartender and you guys are still running

[Tyler Newton]: around here like what the hell

[Tyler Newton]: but they’re in the same place they’re

[Nick McGowan]: yeah

[Tyler Newton]: working the same jobs there’s no growth

[Tyler Newton]: so growth comes from being uncomfortable and growth comes from finally saying no

[Tyler Newton]: and just doing in taking action steps and doing the boring work people don’t look

[Tyler Newton]: good because they sit there and eat a bunch of fancy foods all the time most of

[Tyler Newton]: the time people look really good from being really boring and monotonous and

[Tyler Newton]: eating a

[Nick McGowan]: she

[Tyler Newton]: lot of the same things over and over again

[Tyler Newton]: it’s consistency

[Nick McGowan]: yeah it’s a great way to end this episode because we’ve gone through a lot of

[Nick McGowan]: stuff within this taking action being aware of yourself being consistent i think

[Nick McGowan]: a lot of it boils down to setting yourself up habits and being mindful of what
