Ever wonder why personal transformations seem to happen overnight for everyone but you? The truth is they don't— Lucas strips away the filters to expose what genuine growth actually looks like.
Behind every success story lies a messy, often painful journey filled with failures, false starts, and unexpected detours. Whether in business, fitness, or personal development, the people who ultimately thrive aren't those who avoid mistakes but those with the resilience to keep going despite them. As Lucas shares from his experience guiding hundreds of clients, "The real entrepreneur knows they're going to get there, just not today."
This candid discussion explores how finding your authentic path often means shedding aspirations that seemed important but weren't truly aligned with your deeper values. Both hosts share personal examples of misguided passions—Lucas's pursuit of bodybuilding fame and his later realization that online coaching, despite its financial advantages, couldn't provide the human connection he craved. They examine why certain approaches to fitness and wellness work differently based on personality types, and why the most transformative experiences often combine physical challenge with meaningful human connection.
The episode culminates with practical insights on sustainable transformation, emphasizing that lasting change happens only when your motivation comes from within. Whether you're contemplating a career pivot, fitness journey, or personal reinvention, this conversation offers both comfort and clarity: you're not alone in your struggles, and the path forward doesn't require perfection—just authenticity and persistence.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Lifestyle Strength, your guide to
mastering health and well-beingin the real world.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I'm Ariel, a massage therapist with over a decade of
experience in holistic health,and I'm here with Lucas, a
seasoned fitness coach, who'stransformed the lives of
hundreds in northwest Arkansas.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
We're here to share real stories and expert insights
about embracing a healthylifestyle while balancing the
everyday hustle.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Join us as we explore practical ways to achieve
wellness and thrive amidstlife's challenges.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Let's dive in.
I would say social media hasreally brought that to the
forefront too.
It's like we always just seethe when we talk about this.
You see the result.
You never see the work and thetimeline that it took to get
there.
Which we're judging someonebased on one point in their life
.
And gosh, they could havestruggled for 30 years before
(00:46):
they got to where they were.
And I would say most successfulbusiness people.
This isn't their first rodeo.
They've been through thetrenches.
It's never just worked Like itjust doesn't work that way.
It's always like gosh, we triedthis and we went there and we
failed doing this.
And the more experience you gain, the better it gets, and I
would say life's that way too.
(01:07):
Like I've really embraced thatlike, like gosh, I don't have to
be perfect, I don't have tocome off like I got it all
figured out, and that's one ofthe things I've learned too is,
like you know, I'm a story, thewhole thing's a story, and I
have to go through these trialsand tribulations to learn how to
be a better person and how toshow up better for my family and
(01:28):
show up better for myself, andwithout going through all those
things like but that's never thestory, right?
The story is always the oh this, we see this person and here
they are.
Yeah, that's the hard part,right?
Well, I mean, that's that'sjust you being authentic, and I
think it it's embracingauthenticity which is dead now.
Oh, that's not.
(01:48):
That's not what is anywhere.
I've continued to try to findthat for myself, even like
making sure, like even eventoday I was listening to
something about about business,and it was specific to my type
of business and the service thatI provide and how people are
craving that authenticity.
It's because they want to beauthentic themselves.
(02:11):
They don't know how, because ifwe've grown up in this world of
instant gratification andseeing those end results just
seeing the honeymoon and you cansee the whole dating cycle and
the fighting and the awesomemoments you just saw the one
great moment Right, and I wastalking with a client of mine
(02:32):
this morning who owns her ownbusiness and you know she was to
your point.
She was saying that businessowners, entrepreneurs, they fail
, they're the ones that arewilling to fail the most.
They fail a thousand times andthat's nobody ever cares or sees
it.
And once you realize thatthat's okay and that it's fine,
yeah, you're bulletproof becauseyou can just, you can just be
(02:56):
willing to do it over and overand over again, because you only
need that one success to makeit worth it.
Exactly.
And that's hard.
It's hard for a lot of us tofeel, to feel that failure over
and over and over again and notknow if you're going to get
there.
Yeah, but I think the realentrepreneur real mindset is
(03:17):
knowing you're going to getthere, just not today.
Yeah, well, you got to keeptrying.
Yeah, it's not.
You know there, there's no,there's no book that's going to
tell you how to do it.
You got to figure it out onyour own.
And, um, something I said tosome high school kids Morgan and
I like to give tours of ourfacility and we were hooked up
(03:37):
with some of the local schoolsand talking about like jobs and
what, what it takes to get tothe next level and what's,
what's that look like now and itto get to the next level, and
what's what's that look like?
Yeah, and it's they're all kidstrying to figure out who they
want to be, which is like theperfect age to really get an
impact.
Yeah, we always talk about ifthere's one kid that we can
impact, it's worth our time,like we can just help one person
.
It's.
It's amazing when we talk aboutlike, um, you know where, the,
(04:00):
where the basics, what'simportant, what's not important.
Um, and one of the things I said, this last group, I thought,
was just like it just kind ofcame to me.
I was like you're going to faila bunch.
You may change careers 10 timestill you get it figured out,
but if you stay in that careeror you stay in that situation
that you're unhappy every day,you don't want to be there, it's
(04:22):
okay to change it.
It's okay to step out and goyeah, I gotta make some changes.
I go back to like even where Iwas three months ago, six months
ago.
It's like I gotta make somechanges and it's like just the
self-realization.
But you gotta, we gotta tellpeople that, we gotta show them
that that it's okay to do that.
And then some of the teacherscame up to me afterwards and
they're like that was such agreat message.
(04:42):
Like I'm glad you said it thatway, because these kids always
think like, oh, I gotta go tocollege, I gotta make straight
a's and I gotta get this bigcareer.
I'm like, yeah, but are youenjoying it?
Yeah, is it something that youwant to do?
And it's like all these kidsgosh, I was that.
I wanted to be a doctor, anattorney, and this whole big
(05:02):
path of all these differentthings, and until I figured out
that I just want to be a problemsolver.
That's all I mean.
And I just happen to own abusiness, yeah, and that was a
great opportunity that I had andthat was it.
Yeah, I think I'm having arealization now.
It's all about discovering howto be authentic.
It's almost like a skill.
(05:23):
Discovering how to be authentic.
It's almost like a skill.
It's really hard to be yourselfand embrace all of the good
things and the bad things whenyou have no idea what it is that
you are Sure.
Sure.
You think you want something oryou think you need something.
You think you have to besomething because of who knows
(05:43):
what Right think it have to besomething because of who knows
what right.
You know my, my journey.
I thought I needed to be abodybuilder or a model or an
actor to have success or toattract women or, to, you know,
just fuel my own ego, whateverit was, you know.
But I actually truthfullythought I wanted that for a long
time and then, only once, I gotin the weeds of it and realized
(06:07):
this wasn't going to make mehappy, right?
This wasn't going to fulfill me, right?
Did I have to, like, get rid ofthat part of me and then shed
it off?
And it sucked because fitnesswas like a cornerstone of those
things.
Yeah, so it's like I was losingthe thing that I did love but I
was just I was on a path of ofof misguided passion.
(06:31):
Right, yeah, it's like you havepassion for the thing that
you're doing, but it's just notpointing in the right direction,
right, right, and we're alwaystrying to recalibrate that
because I think it's going tochange over time.
Right, you know it doesn't meanyou have to give up.
You know everything that you'redoing.
Maybe it just means you need tofind a new way to do it.
Yeah, it makes you feel moregratified.
(06:52):
And the next change from thatthat I went through was like
doing online training and goingthrough covid and realizing I
didn't want to be behind acomputer all day was not my
thing.
That's gonna be so hard.
I could make more money, Icould help more people, but it's
just not.
It's not who I am right, yeah,I mean we.
(07:13):
We have a great interactionevery.
I feel like every day we'retogether yeah, so it's.
We're always talking about stuffand right, and it's really like
you.
You I'm sure that that personaltouch and just it's missed.
You just can't get that througha screen that like you can in
person, like whether it's you'reshowing us how to do something
or you're you're noticingsomething about us, or it's like
(07:35):
you don't get thoseinteractions the same and I feel
like there's so much value thatyou bring every time we're
we're working out and it's justlike.
It's like I look forward to itevery day just to say, well,
we're gonna talk about todaylike what's, how's it gonna go?
Yeah, what are we gonna do?
What it's?
You know, I think that's thething and you know not not to
make it about me or anything,but you know I I think online
(07:58):
training, like I said, there's athousand ways to do it, but
there's a thousand ways tobecome fit.
You know, a lot of people haveseen success through going to
fitness classes.
A lot of people have had helpand found success through online
training.
Um, specifically, what I findreally interesting is, I would
(08:18):
say, people of more like you,who you are a go-getter.
You need to be you.
Just if you're told what to doand you are willing to go, do it
.
You're going to go do it, andthat is highly favorable for
online training because I canjust send you the plan yeah Cool
, you know what to do.
Go do it.
Check in on you a week, right,and a lot of ceos, a lot of
(08:42):
business owners who are pulledin, a thousand directors.
You don't want to think aboutit, they just want to be like
that's what I got to do, that'swhat I got to eat, the meals are
ordered, I don't have to doanything, I can just, yeah, do
it, spit it out, and they canstay productive in to what
they're doing.
Yeah, um, but that at the sametime, like you said, you miss
some of that.
I would miss that so much.
(09:03):
You miss that relatability.
You miss that kind of like that, and for me, it's, it's the
more impactful change, it's thefeeling, right, it's.
You know, maybe they have thatfeeling on their own, they can
do their workout, they feelempowered, they move on and they
make a transformation.
Maybe it might happen I'm sureit does for some people, right,
right, I think more often beingthere, listening, understanding,
(09:27):
like what you have going on inyour life and how we can pivot
what we're doing to you know,serve you best and what season
life you're in, when, whatschedule you have that week,
what you know, and and that's alot harder to do on a screen.
Sure, I don't say it isn'tpossible, could be possible,
right, but you know, knowingthat you've got a lot going on,
(09:52):
sometimes people just need to beheard.
Sure, that's what this, that'swhat you could get the most out
of in the session, right Versusthe workout, like the for sure,
the workouts, the workout, yeah,it's going to be hard, right,
you're going to feel it.
It feels the same.
It's either your heart'sbeating faster or your muscles
are burning.
Nothing else is different aboutthat one.
You leave the gym like feelingempowered, like wow, I feel hurt
(10:16):
, or he helped me with this onespecific thing, or yeah, like
that's to me what makes it worthit.
I totally agree.
I mean, we've had plenty ofsessions where it's like I walk
away going gosh, that was great,like.
And it wasn't that we had agreat workout, it was that it
was a great experience, yeah,all the way through, and the
work workout was tough, but alsoit was like the conversation,
the, maybe we just I learned onenew thing.
(10:38):
That was all it was.
Or maybe you learned one newthing, yeah, from us or whatever
, whatever it was.
That's the other thing you'relike.
I like that.
I get to learn too.
I feel like.
I feel like we have greatconversations and we talk about
all kinds of stuff and um, it'salways like I walk away feeling
like we all learned somethingtoday and, um, it wasn't just
that we're here to work out andwe're robots, it was just we
(11:01):
actually enjoyed it.
We just had a good conversationand just so happened to build
some muscle and, you know, getin shape.
Right, it's the same that, likeyou know, when you, when you
find that that person, thatbusiness partner or that person
you're doing a deal with, whoit's like you just click, like
you, just yeah, it's.
It's like, okay, we both havethe same idea.
Like we're trying to make adeal or so both parties are
(11:24):
happy and successful and makemoney.
But like, it feels differentwhen you have the one that's
like I, like you, like you got,you get it.
Yeah, you know, yeah, and thenyour results compound because of
that.
Right, it's like's like youmanifest it because you're
working together with the samemindset versus, like you know,
I'll do it.
How did this guy disrupt me thewrong way.
Yeah, no, you're not going tohave the same energy Right.
(11:45):
Or even if it's something, youhave any discontent towards a
person you just feel attachedfrom.
Like my wife Julia, she's gotan online coach and he is
serving what he means to servefor her, but she doesn't know
anything about him.
She used to see somebody otherthan her husband to tell her
(12:06):
what workouts to do.
Because I can't tell her whatworkouts to do.
She didn't listen to me, right?
That's funny.
I got a question for you.
Sure, what do you think like?
I would love to motivate morepeople to do like what Morgan
and I are doing?
What is, what is somethingthat's like from your angle that
(12:28):
you see that people need torealize or think about
differently?
I know some people probably getstarted and they quit, or they
get to a spot where it's hard orwhat.
What would you say?
That is like the biggest key tosomeone like following through
and being successful withchanging their life.
Let's just say that, okay, Ithink this has changed.
(12:52):
I think this change is based ona person's personality.
Personally, I think it.
I think it really depends onhow you go about.
It is dependent on thepersonality, but ultimately, no
matter what every person's goingto decide, they truly want it?
Yeah, like if they don't wantit, if they're just doing it
(13:12):
because they know they need to,it's not enough.
Yeah, if they're doing itbecause their doctor told them
to, it's not enough.
They're doing it because theirspouse told them to, it's not
enough, doesn't?
It doesn't matter?
If you truly wanted it, you'dunderstand how to make it work
in some capacity.
It may not be three times aweek, it may just be once a week
, right, or it might be 10minutes a day, doesn't really
(13:35):
matter, it's just knowing that,like, I want this thing and I
think that x action is gonnahelp me get there.
Yeah, cool, commit to it, do itblindly and be willing not see
results.
Doing it right.
That's and that's hard forcertain personalities.
So if we're thinking liketactically, uh, I would say like
(14:00):
for if you have morepersonality where you work well
with like some pressure on you,like setting a committing to an
event is a really good way tostart, yeah, or like a challenge
, any anything that has a settime and date.
And we used to go back and andthe old acronym, like smart
goals that used to be foreverything, I don't, I don't
(14:20):
think it's necessary foreveryone.
Um, everything, I don't, Idon't think it's necessary for
everyone, um, but I've seen, youknow that.
That's how I got started.
I I felt bad, it was like thatdiscovered the insanity program
by sean t.
Yeah, it was like I'm gonna dothis program.
It's three months long and theyhad like a prize at the end.
(14:42):
You got like a shirt if you getto the end and I didn't get the
shirt because I had like aprize at the end.
You got like a shirt if you gotto the end and I didn't get the
shirt because I had, like, I waslike 16 years old and had
illegally torrented it anddownloaded it, so I wasn't
technically doing it the rightway, but I still just challenged
myself, and so it was justputting that pressure on myself
to see can I finish this thing,and that's what got me through.
(15:03):
The really hard part was that,just that initial commitment,
and by the end of it I had seensome results, and that was
empowering.
Yeah, so it's.
It's figuring out how to how toempower yourself.
Speaker 1 (15:14):

We want to invite you back nextweek as we continue the
conversation and be sure tofollow us on social media to get

You know, I think that's thething and you know not not to
make it about me or anything,but you know I I think online
(07:58):
training, like I said, there's athousand ways to do it, but
there's a thousand ways tobecome fit.
You know, a lot of people haveseen success through going to
fitness classes.
A lot of people have had helpand found success through online
training.
Um, specifically, what I findreally interesting is, I would
(08:18):
say, people of more like you,who you are a go-getter.
You need to be you.
Just if you're told what to doand you are willing to go, do it
.
You're going to go do it, andthat is highly favorable for
online training because I canjust send you the plan yeah Cool
, you know what to do.
Go do it.
Check in on you a week, right,and a lot of ceos, a lot of
(08:42):
business owners who are pulledin, a thousand directors.
You don't want to think aboutit, they just want to be like
that's what I got to do, that'swhat I got to eat, the meals are
ordered, I don't have to doanything, I can just, yeah, do
it, spit it out, and they canstay productive in to what
they're doing.
Yeah, um, but that at the sametime, like you said, you miss
some of that.
I would miss that so much.
(09:03):
You miss that relatability.
You miss that kind of like that, and for me, it's, it's the
more impactful change, it's thefeeling, right, it's.
You know, maybe they have thatfeeling on their own, they can
do their workout, they feelempowered, they move on and they
make a transformation.
Maybe it might happen I'm sureit does for some people, right,
right, I think more often beingthere, listening, understanding,
(09:27):
like what you have going on inyour life and how we can pivot
what we're doing to you know,serve you best and what season
life you're in, when, whatschedule you have that week,
what you know, and and that's alot harder to do on a screen.
Sure, I don't say it isn'tpossible, could be possible,
right, but you know, knowingthat you've got a lot going on,
(09:52):
sometimes people just need to beheard.
Sure, that's what this, that'swhat you could get the most out
of in the session, right Versusthe workout, like the for sure,
the workouts, the workout, yeah,it's going to be hard, right,
you're going to feel it.
It feels the same.
It's either your heart'sbeating faster or your muscles
are burning.
Nothing else is different aboutthat one.
You leave the gym like feelingempowered, like wow, I feel hurt
(10:16):
, or he helped me with this onespecific thing, or yeah, like
that's to me what makes it worthit.
I totally agree.
I mean, we've had plenty ofsessions where it's like I walk
away going gosh, that was great,like.
And it wasn't that we had agreat workout, it was that it
was a great experience, yeah,all the way through, and the
work workout was tough, but alsoit was like the conversation,
the, maybe we just I learned onenew thing.
(10:38):
That was all it was.
Or maybe you learned one newthing, yeah, from us or whatever
, whatever it was.
That's the other thing you'relike.
I like that.
I get to learn too.
I feel like.
I feel like we have greatconversations and we talk about
all kinds of stuff and um, it'salways like I walk away feeling
like we all learned somethingtoday and, um, it wasn't just
that we're here to work out andwe're robots, it was just we
(11:01):
actually enjoyed it.
We just had a good conversationand just so happened to build
some muscle and, you know, getin shape.
Right, it's the same that, likeyou know, when you, when you
find that that person, thatbusiness partner or that person
you're doing a deal with, whoit's like you just click, like
you, just yeah, it's.
It's like, okay, we both havethe same idea.
Like we're trying to make adeal or so both parties are
(11:24):
happy and successful and makemoney.
But like, it feels differentwhen you have the one that's
like I, like you, like you got,you get it.
Yeah, you know, yeah, and thenyour results compound because of
that.
Right, it's like's like youmanifest it because you're
working together with the samemindset versus, like you know,
I'll do it.
How did this guy disrupt me thewrong way.
Yeah, no, you're not going tohave the same energy Right.
(11:45):
Or even if it's something, youhave any discontent towards a
person you just feel attachedfrom.
Like my wife Julia, she's gotan online coach and he is
serving what he means to servefor her, but she doesn't know
anything about him.
She used to see somebody otherthan her husband to tell her
(12:06):
what workouts to do.
Because I can't tell her whatworkouts to do.
She didn't listen to me, right?
That's funny.
I got a question for you.
Sure, what do you think like?
I would love to motivate morepeople to do like what Morgan
and I are doing?
What is, what is somethingthat's like from your angle that
(12:28):
you see that people need torealize or think about
differently?
I know some people probably getstarted and they quit, or they
get to a spot where it's hard orwhat.
What would you say?
That is like the biggest key tosomeone like following through
and being successful withchanging their life.
Let's just say that, okay, Ithink this has changed.
(12:52):
I think this change is based ona person's personality.
Personally, I think it.
I think it really depends onhow you go about.
It is dependent on thepersonality, but ultimately, no
matter what every person's goingto decide, they truly want it?
Yeah, like if they don't wantit, if they're just doing it
(13:12):
because they know they need to,it's not enough.
Yeah, if they're doing itbecause their doctor told them
to, it's not enough.
They're doing it because theirspouse told them to, it's not
enough, doesn't?
It doesn't matter?
If you truly wanted it, you'dunderstand how to make it work
in some capacity.
It may not be three times aweek, it may just be once a week
, right, or it might be 10minutes a day, doesn't really
(13:35):
matter, it's just knowing that,like, I want this thing and I
think that x action is gonnahelp me get there.
Yeah, cool, commit to it, do itblindly and be willing not see
results.
Doing it right.
That's and that's hard forcertain personalities.
So if we're thinking liketactically, uh, I would say like
(14:00):
for if you have morepersonality where you work well
with like some pressure on you,like setting a committing to an
event is a really good way tostart, yeah, or like a challenge
, any anything that has a settime and date.
And we used to go back and andthe old acronym, like smart
goals that used to be foreverything, I don't, I don't
(14:20):
think it's necessary foreveryone.
Um, everything, I don't, Idon't think it's necessary for
everyone, um, but I've seen, youknow that.
That's how I got started.
I I felt bad, it was like thatdiscovered the insanity program
by sean t.
Yeah, it was like I'm gonna dothis program.
It's three months long and theyhad like a prize at the end.
(14:42):
You got like a shirt if you getto the end and I didn't get the
shirt because I had like aprize at the end.
You got like a shirt if you gotto the end and I didn't get the
shirt because I had, like, I waslike 16 years old and had
illegally torrented it anddownloaded it, so I wasn't
technically doing it the rightway, but I still just challenged
myself, and so it was justputting that pressure on myself
to see can I finish this thing,and that's what got me through.
(15:03):
The really hard part was that,just that initial commitment,
and by the end of it I had seensome results, and that was
empowering.
Yeah, so it's.
It's figuring out how to how toempower yourself.
