He lived people that he is around feeling more live. it up and more enlightened in. I just appreciated how much I know it attempted to give it's a little bit of a buyer there at the beginning. But for those you're who maybe have not yet themselves been lucky enough to get to know him. Duly. Would you, in your own words, give just that

little bit of your background, a little bit of your story, how you find yourself where you do, and maybe even more, why you think you are here on this planet wow, awesome Well, listen! There's money was Andy duly David said. I am honoured to be a part of this Then he brought me onto the podcast and it's an exciting is exciting time. I grew up in a family where my father was in the military. And my mom and dad were both pastors. So I'm a pk and if you don't know what a pk is says a little acronym for preacher's kid, and sometimes we don't get best rat. You know like a lot of people immediately side. Judging saying those preacher, kids are bad there horrible. I can honestly say we weren't that we weren't thanks, though I shall say that right now, the period every bad sides,

I grew up in a home where my father taught us discipline my mom and dad made discipline in a weird way. Fine made the bible fine made hanging out with the family, fine and, as always stuck with me, we had a close knit family of growing up and it was exciting. It was one of those times where I was very excited to spend time with my family. And wait for fridays carried. We tv, I ask where we want to have the tv shows a big echoes in there somewhere, but we would. I disassociate those times with fine unity. Pizza snag.

And just growing bonding times, and I come from that type of family where they opened up the they made it safe for us to be able to speak to them. So, as I grew up, I never felt like I couldn't talk to my parents and I think it was because of the foundation they set. I ended up. I played sports in high school and went to college. I played football and basketball and then, from that point on Well, I guess I say this. The lord called me out of trial and pursue the nfl very vividly which may be another whole conversation. That view is much obedience is a huge thing when you hear guide and he's telling you something make sure your obey you now, and so I went to

It after college was a journey. Men worked for rise, him apple, all kinds of stuff became, a fitness coach really took, took off with that, because I had the opportunity to be able to help people in a way that you just can't do on a regular basis. sure you understand that much more dave how impact for it is clear that the sub that's, how I ended up actually being connected today with heidi becoming a face, a reebok and things of chess evolved and in twenty two I saw a lot happen in that's where this book came from, which will talk more about sir you were pastures, gave it also. Somebody was growing up inside of the military family are dynamic. Was

a big part of what inside the military was for you, or did you guys have a station that didn't have as much transition Oh no one hundred percent, I was born in hawaii. I was there for three years and from that point on we moved almost every year I mean I went with them an elementary almost every year. I think I do stayed at an elementary for two years, one of and then we just moved, moved a moved. It wasn't until I got a middle school is that's when I found some my grounding, and then we were going to move again my freshman year in high school, but my dad said you know what let's try to keep the kids here so that they can actually have some foundation and friends. Maybe What up? Because I wonder if some of the way that you ve approached your life, the the whether you have such a

focus on family, maybe even some of the way that your parents created what they did was a byproduct of trying to create That's something inconsistency in a world that was, you know really founded on constance of change. I mean you ve, always things that we're gonna be different if they could be that being that they could they could you know you, depend on your civilized depend on you, I know you reference it. You know some. It happened in the midst of pandemic in twenty twenty that just completely interrupted the way the people thought about life did live and it for a lot of us, to really reconsider what it means to connect to. You know think differently about faith, the importance of leading on the people that we care about the maoist, but in a in a weird way. I you know, I think, some of your story and the foundation of it. Having had this transitory, always moving piece is probably part of what foundational created. What exists? Yes, you're, correct the fact that

we moved as long as we had our family unit. We were good and, to be honest, I think that helped me be that much more of a people person I actually was excited going to some somewhere new being the new kid coming in building up new friendships and connecting with people was. I do remember. Thinking was man. I wish I had a best friend from my kindergarten. You know get out. You have kids as each year with thy gave us our friend, my friend from kindergarten, and I never had that. However, I can honestly say I can go into any area any place, connect with people and that ranges from going back to lower income areas to walk in his back into the president. I have no problem because, thankfully, being in transit like that, it helped me,

and and adapt to all types of communities. Oh, I know for me and I ran this pursuit hey. I want to try and find this place where there's an intersection between my strengths, mind personal passions and the opportunity to prepare them in service of others, and I went soon, but I want you to confirm that your journey into personal training and, ultimately the essential to become in the face of reebok as one of the most now acclaimed or recognised trainers and the country is that intersection for you of this day about this at the skills it really lights me up and oh, by the way I get directed into the service of others was. That was that the case for you is that the case for you, one hundred percent? Yes, I just love people. I love

People genuinely, I have a huge heart and I feel, like my discernment, pretty strong and a sense of like when I come in contact with people. I can feel their type of energy. I can go who they are, and I I hurt for people, I can feel the pain? I can see their pain even when they are trying to hide it being able to service people through fitness through my son, sure media when I come in contact with them through what I get to do through my book, It brings me joy and I really do feel, like god created me. That way, I wasn't just didn't just happen that way. Yeah so talk about the reebok what it meds how it changed the way you what of who you are and how it created something of a platform to jump off of wow yeah that that whole process was I get. I guess it,

Show me how much of a competitor I am, and it also showed how much that as willing to just leave it in god's hands, cause there's someone. you can do, but at the end of the day the rest is in god's hands and. You know going about that whole process. It was competitive, There was one point where was two weeks of voting, and this is in The people are voting worldwide. I can't control Whose body, where four, who know anything I could do it do my part- and I mean for two weeks straight out- is probably getting rests. Maybe three to four hours. Pickers outlay, rigid out the friends who were on the east coast of friends Brazil. I had some friends in asia like it was insane, but the competitiveness in me was.

I'm gonna do whatever I can in my power to give my best foot, forward. I'm not worrying about my competitors because at the end of the day I gotta be the best version of myself and if the best version of myself gets me to the place to win that's what matters, because then I know lord open that door, I'm walking through it yeah and then so going through that process and then eventually winning it all. the doors to amazing connections. The fact that we are having this conversation now is directly connected to that yeah, you know- and this is a beautiful thing- when you're one of the biggest prayers. I ask every single morning when I get up, I ask god, lord order, my steps,

You know order myself so that I can make sure that I am in your perfect wheel and I'm not taking any mistakes. So I truly believe, I'm literally just in case It's it's it's crazy because I'm coming off of this weekend, experience which I will do a separate podcast all about, but this fitness competition for me was such a learning experience. I had no concept of what I was getting into why I at a certain point, had to have that same kind of I need to appreciate. That I've done everything I can do and they are placing it's about the. for no way that I have given everything I can to get to a place where I'm gonna walk out on the stage. Not what's gonna happen once I'm there. I think I got place which item you know it as it turns out.

Is there really fantastic learning as much as I'm super happy that you want? I think that there is also a season for not winning is there is something so good for me to see that me. Having given my very best and worked harder are honest, then I think I have something in such a long time to. We find myself, you know not up to. standard of other people who been working at that same level, but for in years longer nightmare, which is a reminder of like hey it's okay, to not be good at the beginning. or not be as good as it will you earlier, the journey, it's something. I am sure that you see your clients over time as they are not getting their fitness journey that they have to like. I had to keep himself gary where they're at with, where another of your clients are where you are How do you handle someone who earlier

The journey is harder themselves for maybe not being where they want to be yet, instead of just appreciating the day have to really own the right with a supposed to be in, and you have to do what they can with what they got yeah I want to tell I wanna, tell people comparison breeds doubt which delay a purpose. There was a olympic race grace thing of Michael Phelps, and he was I am sure it is a famous picture out there. The other guy in his lane was so worried about Michael Phelps and as he was swimming you there's a picture. That's caught of him looking over at Michael Phelps, When you are running or you're swimming you're looking left or right? What happens you kind of drift to the direction looking so when your phone,

on someone else. I looking at someone else you're taking away your direct path where you're supposed to be going, and your created you Basically, and you have a unique path. God is already written your book. He is the author of your book and someone, maybe in chapter eight, and you may be in chapter three right now, comparing your book to their book, your life to their life. That is unfair to you. You should try to do that and it's tough, it's so much easier said than done, but I would plead, don't compare yourself to anyone else, because you have such a unique gift mix that god is only put in you and he wants you to be used for his purpose.

and he was the come alongside you. So once you gather that and look at that look at yourself in a minute, miller, mare and say: hey, ok, this is what guides given me and I'm gonna work and find a way to maximize who I am and when I'm supposed to do and to start one day at a time, one percent each day get better and gross takers extent and head on that path and just be shocked, blown away? How god is going to be able to use you in ways that you have no recollection that would have ever happened, Ah, so good totally agree an upper, my myself of all speaking time. I wish it was easier than in tat. It sounds as if just it is its work, gotta keep on bringing yourself back to focusing on what is for you and not necessarily what his first before anyone else or someone else. I know that you have these three pillars. I love pillars that you,

No can organize your life and your work around I'm curious where they came from. Does it feel something that was more or less ordained or is it something that just as kind of cultivated, overtime and how do they have application both in and out of your personal and your business life yeah? I think what list What are the three pillars? Allies are fake family and fitness bathed family fitness. Yes, and how did I arrived there? There was one day I was sitting, I told my wife and like paper, I feel like I'm good at this, this distant. This, but I just feel like I'm all over the place and I've. I don't one to be that person. That is, you, know good. It is ok here pretty good at this, but then not greater anything anything, and so I had to sit down and behind

well ok, this time, I'm spending this with you, I'm gonna write down all the pros of everything and everything I like that, I would do regardless and in a road cons of things. I dont like. After doing that, I was able to find ok. Faith is huge and my life number one, I'm a family man. And I love fitness they family fitness and then I also through on their fashion but then as I am body that is happening, don't be too We met or add that in there you decide. In fact, with the bay family, fitness and then asked I find the f word for technology glove tech, but then it was just like now. Just stick with the main the ep is there but the maid, and then I just realized over time. I. It was embedded in it and it was a scene

me from when I was growing up there, a family man, big, Family man- that was one of the things that him coming out of the project's. He just wanted to have a great family and be the father. His father was it to him, and my dad was amazing, and then my dad was a pastor. Faith is huge and our family and their my dad was huge. fitness user marshall artist who play football basketball. He held a swimming record in ohio for Adam How long using the military I used to watch him. Leave on weekends, because yet drill and training will outline running with my dad, so all that ended up they looking down the road, my wild,

was in me. Prior is just now that when you sit down sometimes sometimes you just sit down and think yeah you just have to be a thinker. You have to sit down. and and next thing you know you realize how much is there, when you just take a minute to pause, relax, think and then fine? What god is put in you and that's how I came to faith, family, fitness. We talk about your dad. I know he recently passed and I think that I for sure, so much of why I have witnessed in try to serve others in the work of this new book in everything you do in some ways it acts as tributes to hooey, wise and awaiting influenced you? about what it's been like to exp, if you're, ok with it, but to experience

this person, who meant so much to you in life transitioning arm, so the Heaven and hell the work that you do now acts as that tribute for whom he was. And how he impacts of July's yeah. It's a some real feeling, because when I got the bottle, I wish I had a conversation with the publishers and my literary agent was exciting right. Then I While my dad was put in the house, we had to go to ass. One could see tat covered. So then, unlike account, is wait. The tumor parents you know I'm, then they said yes, gonna ventilator, oh my goodness, and then from that one day,. is nannie turn into thirty one days and then my mom's, like hey, is getting serious

Why your dad signed a living will saying that he didn't want to trick. And then my mom had the ultimate said: the n. You know if the private trip. And my dad was dealing with a lot of health issues leading up to it. but my mom wanted to try her heart is to make sure that she gave her all said they did a trick he has put in like us the women's you know coming around here? sedate any longer he's off the ventilator, but he's on a trick, I just remember not even thinking about the book anymore and on this I do hope you can pull through this. You ve been through so much and long story short, you know my wife and I have it with twenty twenty here we were,

the post a goner nursery like those itinerary anniversary. gonna hawaii, obviously that happen himself, we are for kids? Are you guys doing to relate with kids? You know it's tough to get away. You know a date, and we were going to do a staycation here in seattle. We can. We do to stay. I get a call from my mom or tax from among saying, hey. Dad was to talk to you today How can you get on a google do? Oh, I didn't even know the a google duo was now face. Time was gone on. What is this? so we get on the google due out and my dad pops up on the screen. Dave no joke I had to contain my face was like wow, he looked like death warmed, dover. It saddened me, you know what I was looking at him away. Smiled is when I saw my dad Ah my dad and his mouth in things.

I mean cause. He has a trick. He can't say anything and while he's talking like the nurses are coming in trying to like clean his trick and you can see the pain and grimace on his in just watching. It was just so, but he told me he loved me like four times and after we chatted a little bit. I with my mother, I told me that just the night before he coded why you didn't tell us. I mean you know telling us this. you called it, and they brought him back at six minutes literally six minutes on it. They say like when you get past six minutes. Brain activity gets affected. And so I remember asking him kind of

I didn't talking where my dad did. You see a bright white light and he kind of like shook his head. No, but I sense that he saw something. I can't even explain it to you guys. It was all

weird moment, but then he told me love me again. He is like you guys, go eat, love you I'll pull through and when he said that, I'm looking at him and I'm seeing the state that he's in and I'm like wow, he must know something. I don't know you know he looked broke, grim, get off the phone with him and then I get he talks to my brother. Fifteen minutes later I get a text, hey pray for dad. He just went into cardiac arrest just like whoa. We get back to the hotel to check out, get a call. Your father's passed away, just stunned just a weird moment, but the crazy thing with all of this was the fact that my mom said the whole morning. He kept looking at the clock. He kept looking back and forth at the clock. So much so she was like Tom. Why you keep looking?

the clock, and he said I just don't want you to leave yet it felt as if he came back on borrowed time to be able to say bye to us well, and I'm super thankful that I was able to hop on at google duo, see my dad one more time and see him tell me he loved me four times if it's still tough today for me to not physically talk to my dad and hear his words say: I'm proud of you, son for the book- and I know people say he knows, he's looking down at you happy for you, but is still not the same. when I'm not looking at my dad, but I dedicated the book to him and I'm unbelieving it. This is going to be such a special impacting legacy that

It's gonna come out of this book. I believe it, I believe, a let's dive into it, because it is a good good day, and I do believe it to be something that from us honoring legacy. Respect is to make a lot of people's lives better there being a further connection to family, stronger So the book is called building a fairly faith, yet it and find them, Since the dry, you close to each other and nearer to god I mean I love the foreman, it's it's. Go every single day kind of thing where start with a verse. He asked me want to think about it. Where you're looking, you know with some right, provoke a little bit. I thought you didn't. You it's a little story to illustrate what they meant to actually see of story in themselves. Then talk about it, you pose a cup

The question is to have a dialogue now created inside the family. There's an actual prayer prompt, let's actually dive into the if we're on the topic of the day and then let's act, which I think is maybe the most profound piece we are trying to put whatever it is that you're teaching into action? I know I know that was very quick, that I went but but could tell me a little bit about the method to this madness so that for anyone who maybe it is interested hey How do you create this better faith inside a family? It was just something that you guys were already doing inside of your house or something that your parents did with you. Or is this just something that you do in coming to try and figure out

how to synthesize what your experience was and that this will be the best way to help somebody who's trying to have the same thing happen to them. Yeah, our family was already doing this in just my wife, and I like to just be creative. We just have fun and find out figure out ways to be able to connect with our family and it wasn't as clear and clean like. It's what we were doing, these things were like read: a scripture were talking about it, having conversations open, open dialogue and doing we were having a let's act section where we're actually doing interactive things where our family was memorizing a script a week, and then, at the end of the week we are taught a risk All of us recited in every one of us recited everything got

candy or hers, snack or a gift or something it was as a reward for diligently learning the word, because at the end of the day we want to get the word inside of us, but its attached a fun. It's attached to see anti the sinner beautiful light in so puddings scripture down. We wanted to ok. This is the scripture that we're gonna be talking about this: is the scripture? Does the centre piece that we're gonna break down from and then, let's think about it,. die van harrison illustrated stories that may connect us to it and make sense and start to bring you in and then let's get a little bit of meat to learn what the scripture, actually means to you and now talk about it. This is one of the cruellest. Things is being able to have open dialogue with their family and talk about it, but I want to give you this much

do not get this courage. If your kids sitting there looking at you they'll get discouraged, be patient and be happy. That you are setting up a place inviting got in you're, not the saviour. You don't have to save your kids at a day, you're you're preparing the area you are preparing, the place forgot to enter an do his thing, because you will see overtime and how god will come in, and I mean just last week I had the most profound, deep, theological conversation about Heaven on my way to school, dropping it's off ahead of us nowhere out of nowhere. Do we not at a normal? Nowhere, I mean, like you know, like you say, you're setting the table, so it actually comes from plays. It comes from heavy patiently planted seeds

a long period of time, were now again sprout. The car ride on weight is like right with the point there is. Is that the kitten listening to you. They are hearing you they may not, because their attention span it all depends on what I'm dealing with kids, that are nine seven six and to and there are listening and they have inquiring mines and it's so cool out you're they are and how inquisitive kids are and to ask you pinpoint questions and asked why this social is set up the way it is so if you ve never

and devotional. Ever in your life, you can literally walk in plug and play it as a template for you, you have the scripture, you could just go through, read and follow along so much so at the let's pray section if you've never prayed in your life, I have written out a prayer that you can recite and my hope in my heart is that it will ignite a drive. the desire for you to want to read your bible more and want to pray more and growing area, because if you don't how to pray. If you don't know how to read the bible, don't worry! I got you there

we're literally sections in this book that teaches you how to pray very easy. Then there's a section in there how to read your bible. So it's for everyone. If you're a season christian who's, a theologian you're going to get so much out of this, because there's such a fun interactive piece that you can apply to your life and your family's life, an entire week. You guys can be just talking about what you just read. So good simple doesn't mean an effective. I you, like a very simple framework. It is it, and overwhelmingly long exercise everyday notional, but it is worthwhile, while the effective in its use of time. The kind of questions that come off the relate ability. The story is that you're telling all of it so staking good at especially if you

are someone who is maybe a little out of practice or someone who's a little unfamiliar klutzy. When it comes to how to even approach this topic, it is so speak and spell it just like paint by number and he's had a lot of work to help facilitate a really rich conversation, great, and in diving deeper. I cannot recommend it enough. One of the things that I love too is just the idea of like building a family of faith, calendar of sorts, activities that you are intentionally planning out to create the kind of consistency to create the kind the connection, and also just you know, the deeper kind of opportunity for spiritual growth. Some of the things that you wrote that you've you know offered to people whether it's scripture daddy ordered the devotional unplug.

Mean for a night family walk something that is about kindness to other people having fun with the family. Talk about just like the importance of having a calendar that reflects the kind of spiritual health that you'd hope for inside of your family in one as the fact that if you see it, that alone makes a big difference. You're! Looking at your cow, wondering you're like ok, you know what, on friday, friday is gonna, be friday, family fund night, we know we're gonna, do a movie we're going go to the dollar store, take the kids there and they're going to get their little snacks and they're thinking they're, going to a movie theater in home. Super cheap super fun, but it's there on the calendar and you get to see it. Some people are someone that likes check our lives when you have it on your calendar, even with the you order, bonus their air. There was stickers and all kinds of stuff that you can use to put on the calendar.

It's just amazing. What happens when you just get consistent? You have it calendar and you look back in same while we ve done this for several weeks straight yeah, anything thing that you weren't doing prior now, you have been consistent with hanging out with each other. Rolling building this family connection getting closer to each other, drawing near to god but now you family is getting closer needed to each other in that's the whole. Go that's the whole go at the end of the day to give you different avenues of being able to ultimately get closer to each other and draw near it.

Yeah. It's so good. I sent you a picture, the other night they are at the church. I go to had marked a sherif baseball player, stud slugger. He happens to attend the church and there was a faith in sports night where they had a bunch of different athletes, but it was headlined by mark one of the things that he said was that a man who was intimate with god will now her be intimidated by man a man or woman whose intimate with god will never be intimidated by men or women riot, and I that there is something interesting in the like warm. Why why why why? this matter white, why you know and there's yeah are people that were born and raised inside of faith, their people that worked but I will tell you that I can shop pretty easily times when the worry, the whirl of the opinions of other people, the movies that the nation

You may say affecting me and activity. I had to go to the death of my faith, not having been at a place that would have acted as something of a force of a shield So in a world where man, there is a lot of uncertainty, and there is, however, a maze, anxiety and there are bullies and middle school and there are a whole host of things, part of the country. patient I've been having with my kids around the importance of staying connected to faith. Is this kind of concept that when you those two god when you have a faith that is centred on something that is greater than yourself. That's it. You find yourself inside of they, whatever the day is don't have the same kind of power as they were. If you didn't have something that your tethered to how many of you have that same kind of sense and part of the hope that you'd have four people is that with us a foundation whatever circumstantial.

is that they're gonna be able to weather it and whether they wouldn't be able to if they didn't have this as a central focus in their life, true lee- and I wife had this conversation, my wife multiple times, I'm just personally, don't know how people without I realize having a centralized foundation being tempted to god. I just couldn't. Do it it makes since wise in an alarming rate of suicide families breaking up to force people going losing themselves. I completely then why that is at an alarming rate because of the lack of desire to connect with god and not realizing. How- Powerful, having got in your life really is, and how impacting it

on your health add alone or near daily help. There now come from the fitness background. Is a fitness code, I can tell you right now, if you're trying to lose weight, get in better shape, get leaner. If you have stressed in your life, that's gonna be extra we have to do because your quarters all levels are through. If your hormones are all over the place in every single thing that you try to eat, turns into sugar and that sugar converts into fat and if you're, not burning up fat, sugar or that fat on a daily basis, it just sticks to you and takes away your energy there's. So much that's connected to the lack of having a center rule peace and something to tell yourself too and having got your life, the help be achieved to live there.

The bible really is, and got really has your best interests is not a finger, pointing say, stop doing that start doing a start doing this he was the best well, there's a graver schemes for a dragoon. God and he will draw near to you it's book, a man there for how to brown, the urge to someone who will ultimately also have your back as you do its part of what I love about it. If I, if someone is on the fence. Like man, I don't know about this- building a family of faith business. What's what's the pitch? What's the elevator pitch for them sit on the fence. I carry you. Have you been someone who hasn't had any faith as part of their story to dip their toll on the water, with something that clearly inside of the faith space and they may have some scepticism or you know some things that maybe attempt

in some ways in vain because of people being involved in church, as opposed to the earlier dating of eggs. You know it s. A great question. I think the best thing I would say is it's: ok, their scepticism. I've I've been in a situation where have been hurt by christians. I've been hurt by the church and I can understand how you would even question. It just know that this book is coming from a very real, authentic, genuine place over a regular person.
