For the 4th time on the channel, I'm joined by my friend Nicoleta Cougentakis — fitness coach, entrepreneur, and now successful pilates studio owner. In this episode, we dive into her journey from working at commercial gyms to opening her own fitness studio and building it from the ground up. We talk about:• The leap of faith into opening her own studio• The scariest part of doing it solo• Why relationships matter more than reps in business• Advice for young aspiring entrepreneurs• How to make beginners feel comfortable in her gym• The truth about getting shredded and building a six-pack And to wrap it up, I was actually put me through Pilates workout which was no joke lol (This was an IRL interview so keep in mind I didn't have the studio mics) This episode is for anyone interested in fitness, entrepreneurship, or starting their own journey — whether that's in business or in the gym.

Was the 2011 dunk contest actually the most underrated of all time? And did we have it better than we realized? In today's Rabbit Hole Roundup, I kick things off with my Top 5 favorite video game soundtracks — from early 2000s FIFA vibes to NFL Street 2's absolute bangers. This will bring back some fun memories! Then I dive into one of my biggest pet peeves: “It's not like he's going pro.” Why do people feel the need to limit someone else's ceiling? Dream big. The experience is better when you believe it is and maybe “the big leagues” has a different meaning for each person! After that, we reset with a gratitude reminder. As someone who's constantly chasing the next goal, I know how easy it is to forget what's already going right. Sometimes we need to reground and appreciate the small wins. Then we revisit the most underrated dunk contest ever — the 2011 contest featuring Blake Griffin, Serge Ibaka, JaVale McGee, and DeMar DeRozan. Creative dunks. Presentation. Showmanship. No rushed attempts. Just pure entertainment. And of course I close with NBA chaos: MVP debate heating up (is Cade Cunningham the guy right now?) The Celtics' return of Jayson Tatum Lakers drama and how every week is a different narrative And the wild Nikola Jokić vs Lu Dort fight Tune in now... ____ ____ Link to Buy my Book "Fight Through It” as well as 100% Organic Motivational T-Shirts and contact info… www.jaredryanweiss.com Check out our affiliate links to some great nutritional products that we believe in down below: Vitagenics Courses https://vitagenics.teachable.com/?affcode=392642_nvq9zepk&fbclid=IwAR3ETJTvomso4qZPiTSVoi47DpyVvejn910VmuttE1DAcX7VRZxeq6ZnMns Zeolite and Fulvic Acid Detox-Touchstone Essentials https://jaredandjames.thegoodinside.com EMF Rocks emfrocks.com/JAREDWEISS817 Use Code JAREDWEISS817 athleticism.com/ATHLETICISM-47 _______ _______ Also, just to remind you guys (you can find more in our about section and on my (Jared's) instagram), Jared has been healing from a life threatening illness and currently is healing from severe digestive and neurological and speech issues.

Ever notice how some people feel the need to ruin things you're excited about? You try something new.You feel proud.And suddenly someone has to tell you why it won't work, why it doesn't matter, or why you're “trying too hard.” That's a buzzkill. In this episode, I share personal stories from my childhood, sports, the gym, business ideas, and social media — all centered around one idea: don't let someone else steal your joy or momentum. I talk about why negativity spreads, why people shut others down, and how the most powerful response isn't arguing… it's continuing to show up. If you've ever felt discouraged after doing something you loved, this one's for you.
