• #114 - From D1 Football to Training Hollywood: John Damon on Elite Coaching For High Performers 30.06.2026 1godz

  What does it actually take to coach the people who can't afford to fail — Hollywood talent, elite athletes, executives whose bodies and schedules are under constant pressure?In this episode of the Choose Hard Podcast, Cody McBroom sits down with John Damon — former Division I football player at Boston College, celebrity trainer, performance coach, and founder of The Cave — to break down the journey from athlete, to coach, to gym owner, to builder of one of the most talked-about private training spaces in the industry.John has spent his career inside rooms most coaches never get access to — The Sports Club/LA, Equinox, and now his own premium gym-design business — and this conversation goes deep into what actually separates good coaching from elite coaching.What's covered in this episode:✅ The athlete-to-coach transition — What John's D1 football career at Boston College taught him that still shapes how he coaches today, and how that competitive background changed his relationship with discomfort and standards.✅ From trainer to owner — What pushed John to stop just training people and start building gyms, brands, and businesses around performance.✅ Coaching high performers and celebrities — How John broke into coaching talent and executives, and what high performers actually need from a coach that most trainers get completely wrong.✅ Training under pressure — What changes when your client's body, schedule, and public reputation are all on the line at once.✅ Why the environment matters as much as the training — John's philosophy on why the room, the equipment, and the culture around a client can matter just as much as the program itself — and how that thinking led him to build The Cave.✅ What it takes to build a long career in this industry — John's advice for young trainers and entrepreneurs on what to obsess over, what to ignore, and what separates a good coach from a great one.If you're a coach trying to level up your standards, a gym owner thinking about environment and experience, or just someone who wants to hear how elite performance actually gets built — this episode is for you.GET 20% OFF ALL CHOOSE-HARD MERCH, USING CODE PODCAST20 AT CHECKOUT: https://choose-hard.shop/ 📌 Follow Choose Hard on instagram @choosehardpodcast and grab Choose Hard Merch at www.choose-hard.com❓ASK YOUR QUESTION FOR THE NEXT Q&A EPISODE:⇨ question.choosehardpodcast.comℹ️ LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR ONLINE COACHING PROGRAMS:⇨ www.fatlosstransformation.com {1-On-1 Coaching}⇨ https://www.tailored-coaching.com/mentorship-coaching {Mentorship w/ Cody}📲 DOWNLOAD MY APP & START A TRAINING PLAN, FOR FREE:⇨ www.thetailoredtrainer.com🛒 PURCHASE YOUR CHOOSE HARD HAT & JOURNAL:⇨https://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.shop/collections/all 💊 JOCKOFUEL SUPPLEMENTS (Code CHOOSEHARD for 20% Off):https://jockofuel.com/discount/CHOOSEHARD🎙️CLIENT CASE STUDIES & TRANSFORMATION STORIES:- SPOTIFY: ⁠https://bit.ly/tlrd-transformations-spotify⁠ - APPLE PODCASTS:⁠https://apple.co/3GPlDxG⁠ GET MORE FREE CONTENT AT THE LINKS BELOW:📖 FREE ARTICLES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blog⁠ 💾 FREE GUIDES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/guides⁠IG -⁠https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroom⁠YOUTUBE -⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1⁠INQUIRIES – ⁠info@tailoredcoachingmethod.com
• #113 - [Q&A]: Helping a Client w/ Victim Mindset, Re-igniting Motivation During Self-sabotage, Navigating Resistance to Tracking Food, and More… 23.06.2026 48min

  Every online coach loves the client who follows the plan perfectly and gets linear results. But what happens when the coaching gets messy? In this episode of the Choose Hard Podcast, Cody McBroom delivers a comprehensive masterclass on nutrition troubleshooting and client psychology, addressing the exact roadblocks that separate amateur trainers from elite specialists.Cody breaks down how to handle the psychological bottlenecks, emotional self-sabotage, and the dreaded "I'm doing everything right" roadblock. If you want to build solid standard operating procedures (SOPs) around nutrition data without turning your clients' lives into an obsessive prison, this episode provides your tactical blueprint.✅ The "I'm Doing Everything Right" Dilemma: How to investigate hidden data and metrics versus true metabolic adaptation when the scale is ticking up—and when it’s actually time to look at clinical interventions like peptides or GLP-1s.✅ Dismantling the Food Identity Crisis: How to coach a client out of a victim mindset ("I can't eat like a normal person") and break the toxic reward/punishment relationship they have with food.✅ Overcoming the 75% Fatigue: The psychological play to re-ignite a client who gets three-quarters of the way to their goal and stalls out because they’ve become complacent with "good enough."✅ The Post-Binge Protocol: The exact, chronological steps to take when a client admits to blowing past their targets. Learn how to respond using nervous-system regulators and the "Urge Jar" to drive behavioral change without casting shame.✅ Overcoming Tracker Resistance: How to effectively onboard a client who is fiercely resistant to tracking food or using apps like MyFitnessPal without making them feel judged, restricted, or micromanaged.—GET 20% OFF ALL CHOOSE-HARD MERCH, USING CODE PODCAST20 AT CHECKOUT: https://choose-hard.shop/ 📌 Follow Choose Hard on instagram @choosehardpodcast and grab Choose Hard Merch at www.choose-hard.com❓ASK YOUR QUESTION FOR THE NEXT Q&A EPISODE:⇨ question.choosehardpodcast.comℹ️ LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR ONLINE COACHING PROGRAMS:⇨ www.fatlosstransformation.com {1-On-1 Coaching}⇨ https://tailoredcoachingmentorship.com/ {Mentorship w/ Cody}📲 DOWNLOAD MY APP & START A TRAINING PLAN, FOR FREE:⇨ www.thetailoredtrainer.com🛒 PURCHASE YOUR CHOOSE HARD HAT & JOURNAL:⇨https://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.shop/collections/all 💊 JOCKOFUEL SUPPLEMENTS (Code CHOOSEHARD for 20% Off):https://jockofuel.com/discount/CHOOSEHARD🎙️CLIENT CASE STUDIES & TRANSFORMATION STORIES:- SPOTIFY: ⁠https://bit.ly/tlrd-transformations-spotify⁠ - APPLE PODCASTS:⁠https://apple.co/3GPlDxG⁠ GET MORE FREE CONTENT AT THE LINKS BELOW:📖 FREE ARTICLES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blog⁠ 💾 FREE GUIDES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/guides⁠IG -⁠https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroom⁠YOUTUBE -⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1⁠INQUIRIES – ⁠info@tailoredcoachingmethod.com Key Coaching Problems Solved In This Episode:
• #112 - 5 Lessons Every Coach and Business Owner Needs to Hear in 2026 16.06.2026 52min

  Most coaches think their biggest problem is leads or content. It's not. In this episode, Cody McBroom breaks down 5 of the most important lessons he's learned as a coach and business owner in 2026 — lessons that touch on client retention, personal integrity, identity-based standards, what actually drives long-term motivation, and trusting the process even when you can't see the outcome.Here's what's covered:The real reason coaches lose clients — It's not your marketing. It's your onboarding, your check-ins, and your referral system (or lack of one). Most coaches are fixing the wrong problem.Respect is the one thing you can always maintain — When someone wrongs you, when the situation goes sideways, when you have every right to react — your response is the only thing that defines how people remember you. You can't control what happens. You can control what they have to say about you afterward.Core values are meaningless without standards and rules — A value without a standard is just a soundbite. Cody breaks down the framework he uses personally and with clients: Value → Identity → Standard → Rule, and why this is the actual architecture behind sustainable behavior change.Pain is a powerful motivator — until it isn't — You can build a lot running from something. But once you've created enough distance from that pain, the drive disappears. This episode unpacks how to shift from a pain-driven pursuit to a purpose-driven one — and why that shift is the key to breaking the all-or-nothing cycle for good.God's a weaver — and your story isn't finished — A woven blanket can take over 100 hours to make. Buying one takes seconds. Your life is being woven the same way. Moses spent 40 years after exile before God spoke to him again. Situations Cody thought would never end took months, over a year — and now he can see exactly what they were for.If you're a coach, a business owner, or just someone trying to build something that lasts — this episode is for you.GET 20% OFF ALL CHOOSE-HARD MERCH, USING CODE PODCAST20 AT CHECKOUT: https://choose-hard.shop/ 📌 Follow Choose Hard on instagram @choosehardpodcast and grab Choose Hard Merch at www.choose-hard.com❓ASK YOUR QUESTION FOR THE NEXT Q&A EPISODE:⇨ question.choosehardpodcast.comℹ️ LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR ONLINE COACHING PROGRAMS:⇨ www.fatlosstransformation.com {1-On-1 Coaching}⇨ https://www.tailored-coaching.com/mentorship-coaching {Mentorship w/ Cody}📲 DOWNLOAD MY APP & START A TRAINING PLAN, FOR FREE:⇨ www.thetailoredtrainer.com🛒 PURCHASE YOUR CHOOSE HARD HAT & JOURNAL:⇨https://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.shop/collections/all 💊 JOCKOFUEL SUPPLEMENTS (Code CHOOSEHARD for 20% Off):https://jockofuel.com/discount/CHOOSEHARD🎙️CLIENT CASE STUDIES & TRANSFORMATION STORIES:- SPOTIFY: ⁠https://bit.ly/tlrd-transformations-spotify⁠ - APPLE PODCASTS:⁠https://apple.co/3GPlDxG⁠ GET MORE FREE CONTENT AT THE LINKS BELOW:📖 FREE ARTICLES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blog⁠ 💾 FREE GUIDES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/guides⁠IG -⁠https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroom⁠YOUTUBE -⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1⁠INQUIRIES – ⁠info@tailoredcoachingmethod.com

This episode is a deep dive into the psychology of high performance, moving beyond surface-level tactics to address the core mindsets required to win in a crowded industry. Cody explores why "high agency" is your ultimate competitive advantage, how to distinguish between genuine burnout and the frustration of losing, and why the marketplace is currently shifting toward raw, authentic community over polished, AI-driven content.- The Power of High Agency: Why the ability to find a way, regardless of circumstances, is the most vital trait you can develop.- The Burnout Truth: Burnout is often a byproduct of stagnation; when what you are doing is actually working, "winning" provides the energy to keep going.- Navigating Seasons: Accepting that life moves through cycles—good, hard, boring, and great—is essential for long-term consistency.- Integrity as Currency: In business and life, your word is all you truly have; follow-through is the foundation of trust.- Action Over Information: You cannot consume your way to success; stop letting "learning" become a form of procrastination and start doing the work.- The Craving for "Raw": Why people are rejecting filtered perfection in favor of real coaching, authentic content, and genuine community.To register for the 2026 Tailored Coaching Mastermind, visit: https://www.tailored-coaching.com/tailored-live-mastermind GET 20% OFF ALL CHOOSE-HARD MERCH, USING CODE PODCAST20 AT CHECKOUT: https://choose-hard.shop/ 📌 Follow Choose Hard on instagram @choosehardpodcast and grab Choose Hard Merch at www.choose-hard.com❓ASK YOUR QUESTION FOR THE NEXT Q&A EPISODE:⇨ question.choosehardpodcast.comℹ️ LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR ONLINE COACHING PROGRAMS:⇨ www.fatlosstransformation.com {1-On-1 Coaching}⇨ https://www.tailored-coaching.com/mentorship-coaching {Mentorship w/ Cody}📲 DOWNLOAD MY APP & START A TRAINING PLAN, FOR FREE:⇨ www.thetailoredtrainer.com🛒 PURCHASE YOUR CHOOSE HARD HAT & JOURNAL:⇨https://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.shop/collections/all 💊 JOCKOFUEL SUPPLEMENTS (Code CHOOSEHARD for 20% Off):https://jockofuel.com/discount/CHOOSEHARD🎙️CLIENT CASE STUDIES & TRANSFORMATION STORIES:- SPOTIFY: ⁠https://bit.ly/tlrd-transformations-spotify⁠ - APPLE PODCASTS:⁠https://apple.co/3GPlDxG⁠ GET MORE FREE CONTENT AT THE LINKS BELOW:📖 FREE ARTICLES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blog⁠ 💾 FREE GUIDES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/guides⁠IG -⁠https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroom⁠YOUTUBE -⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1⁠The 6 Lessons from Q1 2026:INQUIRIES – ⁠info@tailoredcoachingmethod.com

We go deep into the science of behavioral change, the hierarchy of systems, and the psychological "sticky stuff"—like shame and perfectionism—that creates the friction stopping your momentum.In this episode, we discuss:Adherence as a Physical Skill: Why consistency is a muscle that requires specific "reps" just like a bicep curl.The Hierarchy of Change: Moving from tools (apps and scales) to strategies, component skills, and ultimately, autonomy.The "Flick it, Flip it, or Feel it" Drill: A powerful 3-step filter to manage intrusive thoughts and cravings in real-time.Frustration Tolerance: The hallmark of the elite—learning how to "feel bad and still take action."Identity-Level Change: Why long-term success happens when you stop asking "Why am I a failure?" and start treating slips as environmental data.Stop being a victim of your impulses and start becoming the commander of your thoughts. Adherence isn't about being perfect; it's about being impossible to discourage. GET 20% OFF ALL CHOOSE-HARD MERCH, USING CODE PODCAST20 AT CHECKOUT: https://choose-hard.shop/ 📌 Follow Choose Hard on instagram @choosehardpodcast and grab Choose Hard Merch at www.choose-hard.com❓ASK YOUR QUESTION FOR THE NEXT Q&A EPISODE:⇨ question.choosehardpodcast.comℹ️ LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR ONLINE COACHING PROGRAMS:⇨ www.fatlosstransformation.com {1-On-1 Coaching}⇨ https://www.tailored-coaching.com/mentorship-coaching {Mentorship w/ Cody}📲 DOWNLOAD MY APP & START A TRAINING PLAN, FOR FREE:⇨ www.thetailoredtrainer.com🛒 PURCHASE YOUR CHOOSE HARD HAT & JOURNAL:⇨https://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.shop/collections/all 💊 JOCKOFUEL SUPPLEMENTS (Code CHOOSEHARD for 20% Off):https://jockofuel.com/discount/CHOOSEHARD🎙️CLIENT CASE STUDIES & TRANSFORMATION STORIES:- SPOTIFY: ⁠https://bit.ly/tlrd-transformations-spotify⁠ - APPLE PODCASTS:⁠https://apple.co/3GPlDxG⁠ GET MORE FREE CONTENT AT THE LINKS BELOW:📖 FREE ARTICLES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blog⁠ 💾 FREE GUIDES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/guides⁠IG -⁠https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroom⁠YOUTUBE -⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1⁠INQUIRIES – ⁠info@tailoredcoachingmethod.com
