This is a fresh take on new years resolutions. A shift in your mindset, helping you move from obligation to opportunity as you pursue your 2026 goals.Are you tired of setting New Year's resolutions that fizzle out by February? What if I told you the problem isn't your willpower, it's how you're looking at the finish line?For years, I avoided goal-setting entirely. I believed goals would trap me, close doors, and limit my potential. But last year, I ran an experiment that completely changed my perspective.I set just two simple goals—and not only did I crush them, but they became a source of perpetual motivation that surprised even me.In this episode, I'm sharing the mindset shift that transformed how I approach achievement and momentum.You'll discover why most people fail at their resolutions and how to build a roadmap for 2026 that's simple, achievable, and actually exciting to wake up for.The Problem with Traditional Goal SettingMost of us avoid setting specific goals because we're afraid of failure. We stay vague with statements like "I want to get healthier" or "I want to be better with money."But vague goals create vague results, and vague results create zero momentum.The truth is, you're not lacking capability or discipline. When we feel stuck, it's usually not a character defect, it's a lack of clarity and direction.Your brain is a heat-seeking missile that wants a target. Without one, it defaults to comfort, safety, or endless scrolling.A Simple Goal Setting Framework for 20261. Two Pillars OnlyStop trying to change everything at once. Pick just two areas of focus—maybe health and finance, or family and creativity. When you limit your focus, you increase your force.2. Make It Stupidly SimpleInstead of "get a six-pack," try "move my body for 30 minutes, four times a week." Instead of "get rich," aim to "save $50 a week." Simple goals get done. Complex goals get procrastinated.3. Progress Over PerfectionYour goal is a compass, not a judge. Focus on movement and momentum rather than perfection. If you miss a day, you haven't failed—you've just paused. Resume immediately.What You'll Learn:Why avoiding goals keeps you drifting instead of driving toward what you wantThe psychological shift that turns goals from pressure into permissionA simple framework for setting achievable targets that create lasting momentumHow to build consistency without overwhelming your nervous systemWhy starting small gives you permission to think biggerThis isn't about fixing you—it's about focusing you. You already have everything you need to write a remarkable story for 2026.🎤 Speaking Enquiries?

The afternoon energy crash, the brain fog, the unexplained anxiety spikes, the constant cravings... these aren't random occurrences. They're messages from a system that's desperately trying to communicate with you in a world designed to make you fail.Living with Charcot Marie Tooth disease has taught me something most people never get to experience: immediate, intense feedback from every food choice I make. When I eat processed foods, my symptoms flare within minutes. My balance deteriorates, pain increases, and anxiety floods my system like a wave that doesn't belong to me. But when I nourish myself with intention, my entire nervous system calms down.Here's the truth: your body is saying the exact same things mine is. The only difference? Mine screams, yours whispers.Why Your Environment Is Working Against YouYou're not failing at nutrition, you're navigating an environment engineered for your failure. We've evolved eating whole foods for thousands of years, yet now we're surrounded by hyper-palatable, dopamine-driven foods designed for cravings, not nourishment. This isn't about willpower; it's about biology clashing with modern life.The Five Mechanisms That Control EverythingMost nutrition advice focuses on details that don't create real change. But your body operates on five simple mechanisms that determine your energy, mood, cravings, and overall well-being:Blood sugar stability - the engine for consistent energy and moodSatiety signals - why protein and fiber are non-negotiableUltra-processed food engineering - designed to make you overeatGut health - your second brain that influences everythingInflammation response - the driver behind most symptoms you experienceUnderstanding these five levers gives you the power to make food work for you instead of against you.A Framework That Actually WorksAfter coaching hundreds of thousands of people, I've discovered the approach that sticks. It's not sexy, but it works because it meets you where you are and grows with you:Prioritize protein to stabilize hunger and energyFill up on fiber to support gut health and reduce inflammation Create balanced plates before worrying about advanced strategiesAdd supportive foods before restricting anythingLearn to interpret your body's signals through energy, mood, and digestionYour body notices changes more than you could ever perceive. Your mind notices too. And your resilience will follow.This episode isn't about perfect meal plans or restrictive rules. It's about clarity - learning the language your body has been whispering to you your entire life, and finally giving it what it needs to help you feel supported, energized, and resilient.-----------------------------Bart’s Website🎬 Want to watch this episode?⁠Youtube⁠💻 Follow Bart on socials:⁠Instagram⁠⁠TikTok ⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠Want to contribute to the show? 📧 [email protected]

I'm here to show you that fitness belongs to everyone, and strength is the foundation that will serve you for decades to come.Strength training isn't about becoming a gym warrior or chasing the perfect physique.

Master the Big Six foundational movements that give you the biggest return on your investment.2. Understand why strength training protects your metabolism and builds long-term health better than cardio alone.3. Learn how to introduce strategic cardio without sacrificing your strength gains.4.

Whether that's learning your first movement pattern, booking a session with a coach, or simply walking into a gym for the first time, progress begins with action.Remember: you're not training just to lift weights. You're training to lift your life—to be more patient with your kids, more present with your partner, more confident in your body, and more resilient under stress.Strength isn't about lifting heavy weights. Strength is about lifting the parts of your life that have felt too heavy for too long.-------------------------------------------Bart’s WebsiteWant to watch this episode?⁠Youtube⁠💻 Follow Bart on socials:⁠Instagram⁠⁠TikTok ⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠Want to contribute to the show?

What is 'Success'? How do I be 'successful'? What are success habits? Honestly team... I think the answer is more complicated that we would care to believe. This is more than a motivational speech, it's a motivational video podcast designed to explore some of the more vulnerable aspect of our modern lives. It's called Built Resilient. Welcome to the family. In this episode, I'm getting a bit vulnerable about my own journey through fitness achievements, leadership roles, and the constant chase for "enough." From brutal endurance races to building a speaking career, I've learned that success isn't what you achieve, it's who you become.Here are 5 key insights you can expect from this honest conversation about redefining success:1. Learn why external achievements often leave us feeling empty and unfulfilled despite looking successful.2. Discover the psychology behind values dissonance and why borrowed goals never satisfy your soul.3. Get a practical framework for auditing your goals to separate what's truly yours from what's inherited.4. Understand how to identify your core values and build micro evidence that proves your identity daily.5. Shift from measuring success by metrics to measuring by meaning and personal alignment.This isn't me teaching from a mountaintop, it's me sitting beside you, acknowledging that I don't have it all figured out either. But sometimes the most powerful conversations happen when we stop pretending we have all the answers and start exploring the questions together.---------------------------Bart’s WebsiteWant to watch this episode?⁠Youtube⁠💻 Follow Bart on socials:⁠Instagram⁠⁠TikTok ⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠Want to contribute to the show?
