Last week, I asked the guys in the #Lethal30 Challenge one simple question: “What’s the #1 skill or trait you’re missing that’s holding you back?” Their answers were raw — and real: lack of prioritization, consistency, distractions, even just getting their steps in. In this episode, I break down these common obstacles and share how I approach them personally and as a coach. If you’re tired of falling off track, this one’s packed with real talk, practical tactics, and tools to help you level up your discipline and finally gain momentum.

In this episode, I sit down with competitive bodybuilder Diego Gonzalez, who placed 6th overall in his last show at the Amateur Olympia in pursuit of his pro card. What started as something he thought he’d never do — stepping on stage and posing — became a path to deeper discipline, structure, and personal growth. Diego opens up about the mental and physical grind of prepping for a show, what truly goes into getting shredded, and why cutting for competition is often easier than trying to stay lean in everyday life. This episode is a raw look at what it takes to chase a pro card and the lessons anyone can take from the bodybuilding lifestyle, whether you want to compete or just get serious about your fitness.

We talked about the mental side of change, why accountability matters way more than motivation, and how social pressure and self-doubt can quietly derail progress. If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of false starts, struggling to stay consistent, or just trying to figure out what actually works long-term — this one’s going to hit home.
