What if the reason you’re not losing weight isn’t just your food—but how you see yourself?

In this episode, I sat down with Joel Staley, a coach who helps men lose fat and feel better by changing their habits and how they think about themselves. We talked about how easy it is to get stuck in a “fat dad” identity and how to shift into a new version of yourself, one small step at a time.

Joel shared how he used 72-hour fasts to reset his body and mind, and how creating a “mind movie” he watches every morning helps him stay focused on the kind of life he wants to live. He even told a story about visualizing himself driving a sports car through the mountains… and how that exact moment actually happened in real life months later.

We also talked about why most guys don’t need more diet info, they need a reason to believe they can change, some wins under their belt, and people in their corner who won’t let them quit. If you’ve been feeling stuck or off-track, this episode will help you see what’s really possible.

Key Takeaways:

• The subconscious mind doesn’t process negatives well, so it’s better to phrase things positively.
  
  

• Being consistent with your mindset practices builds resilience against setbacks.
  
  

• Negative labels from others can reinforce bad habits, so addressing or limiting those influences is important.
