Consistency in fitness and consistency in finances have more in common than you think. In this episode, I sit down with Ally Ecklund, Founder and Financial Advisor at Zestiny Wealth, to explore how the habits that keep us physically healthy mirror the financial habits that build lasting wealth.

We discuss why showing up for your money matters just as much as showing up for your workout, how financial stress impacts your family and relationships, and the practical steps business owners can take to move from hoping things work out to actively building financial security.

Ally shares her holistic approach to wealth management, including financial planning strategies, investment management basics, and proactive tax planning tips that can help entrepreneurs and individuals with a zest for life take control of their financial future.

What we cover:

• Why financial fitness requires the same consistency as physical fitness
• How to check your business's financial vitals regularly
• The connection between money stress and family wellbeing
• Practical financial planning for business owners and entrepreneurs
• Investment management fundamentals everyone should know
• Tax planning strategies to keep more of what you earn

Hitting 10,000 steps became an obsession—but what about the health benefits that don't "ding" on your Apple Watch? In this episode, we explore why the most meaningful measures of business success often go uncelebrated and how to stop letting external validation define your worth as an entrepreneur.

If you're working incredibly hard but don't have the flashy wins to show for it, this episode is for you. We dig into the invisible metrics that actually indicate you're building something sustainable: client impact, authentic connections, consistency, and personal growth that never shows up on a P&L statement.

Through personal stories about closing a 9-year gym business and struggling with identity beyond a job title, we challenge the narrow definition of success that social media perpetuates. You'll learn why separating your identity from your business model matters, how to recognize wins that don't come with external validation, and why your "spotters"—the people who really know you—are essential for maintaining perspective.

Make It Yours: From Following the Workout to Programming Your Own, with Dr. Catlin Tucker.

One-size-fits-all approaches dominate corporate gyms and traditional classrooms—not because they work, but because they're easier to manage.

I left my personal training job at a big NYC gym chain because I was tired of cookie-cutter programming, corporate micromanagement, and audits from managers who knew nothing about my clients' goals or injuries. The leap to open my own gym was scary, but necessary—because giving every client the same workout isn't just lazy, it can be dangerous.

My guest, Dr. Catlin Tucker, faces the same battle in education. A bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and 2010 Teacher of the Year, Catlin has written eleven books on blended learning and personalized education. She holds a doctorate in learning technologies from Pepperdine University and trains educators worldwide.

In this episode, we discuss why standardized systems fail diverse learners, what it takes to break free from rigid structures, and how to create more personalized, sustainable, and student-led experiences—whether in the gym or the classroom.

Topics covered: personalized learning, blended learning, student-led education, fitness programming, leaving corporate jobs, entrepreneurship in fitness, educational innovation
