  Joey Salgado, co-founder of Progressive Motion, returns to the podcast Joey has been instrumental in empowering me with the tools and skills to navigate various physical demands that my life requires, such as hitting a golf ball 300+ yards, constructing two gyms from scratch, deadlifting 500 pounds, and parenting two energetic toddler boys. As I've taken on these new roles, my priorities have shifted, and time constraints have become... more constrained. Through it all, Joey has equipped me with the knowledge to do everything I want to do at a high level,  On this episode, Joey shares the Origin story of PM, and we discuss how our personal growth journeys and dedication to self-improvement have shaped our business ethos and approach to life. Stay tuned for part two, where we will cover the ABCs of recovering from an injury by sharing a framework for both the mental and physical aspects of recovery.

  S2 E8 - Unpacking Your Life and Starting From Scratch - With Health as the Focal Point 09.04.2025 39m

  Today, we got into the meat and potatoes of how to make this the LAST time you need to do a hard reset on your health and start from scratch. Full transparency... the title of this pod is not the full focus... the real focus is: Unpacking Your Life and Starting From Scratch - With Health as the Focal Point ... But I feel like the phone thing is going to resonate more than that long/boring title. Monologue: SLEEPING WITH YOUR PHONE IS GROSS What motivates you intrinsically and extrinsically Freedom / moving freely in the world without "worrying" about your health while still tending to your health Setting your standards for health habits and sticking to them Listener Questions: Protein bars 101 Restarting the health journey after 2 years of off-and-on dedication I keep this fully organic in terms of not looking for ad sponsors and/or paying for promotion, so YOU are the only way this grows.
