  Philip Pape: Stick around to today's quick wits to find out.

  Philip Pape: Welcome to the Wits and Weights podcast.

  Philip Pape: I'm your host, phillip Pape, and this twice a week podcast is dedicated to helping you achieve physical self mastery by getting stronger, optimizing your nutrition and upgrading your body composition.
• 0:24
  Philip Pape: We'll uncover science-backed strategies for movement, metabolism, muscle and mindset with a skeptical eye on the fitness industry, so you can look and feel your absolute best.
• 0:34
  Philip Pape: Let's dive right in.
• 0:39
  Philip Pape: The other day, a client of mine reached out to say hey, phillip, now that I'm working with a personal trainer along with me as her nutrition coach and this is very common I have clients who work with trainers especially to get some local hands on in person coaching.
• 0:52
  Philip Pape: She said now I realize why I've stuck with you for so long and why I enjoy our check-in and feedback process now that I've seen how another coach can do it.
• 1:04
  Philip Pape: I said well, what's the difference?
• 1:05
  Philip Pape: She said well, you just make it easy, you ask the right questions, you don't make it cumbersome or take too long, and therefore I'm able to be consistent and I look forward to it.
• 1:17
  Philip Pape: That's the special sauce right there, if you have a coach, who you're working with, and the process itself is frustrating.
• 1:25
  Philip Pape: The process itself makes it harder to be consistent with the thing you're trying to do.
• 1:30
  Philip Pape: It's time to think about hiring a different coach or taking a different approach.
• 1:35
  Philip Pape: When I develop my systems and processes and check-ins for folks, I think like an engineer.
• 1:40
  Philip Pape: But part of that is making it simple and not adding stress.
• 1:44
  Philip Pape: Because you're coming to me wanting to probably change a lot of things in your life.
• 1:48
  Philip Pape: I'm taking the approach of well, let's focus on one thing at a time, let's build those habits, let's expand your comfort zone.
• 1:56
  Philip Pape: Before long, within just a few short weeks, you're going to have significantly transformed toward that identity you want to be, but in a way that is sustainable, in a way that makes sense and that feels easy and less stressful.
• 2:09
  Philip Pape: Again, if you're talking to somebody who you want hires a coach, make sure you know exactly what they do, how their process works, how you interact.
• 2:18
  Philip Pape: If you reach out to me and say, hey, philip, I'd love to work with you, but how do you interact?
• 2:22
  Philip Pape: I'm going to tell you exactly what I do.
• 2:23
  Philip Pape: I'm going to tell you about our check-in process and how we communicate and what kind of information I'm looking for you, but you'll find pretty quickly that it's about as frictionless and seamless as it possibly can be, because I don't want to add stress to your life.
• 2:37
  Philip Pape: That's what I am imploring you today to do is protect your time, protect your energy, protect your stress in everything you do, because we're not trying to make things harder.
• 2:49
  Philip Pape: We want to make things fit within our comfort zone.
• 2:51
  Philip Pape: We want to be able to make progress and be consistent, and that's the name of the game.
• 2:56
  Philip Pape: If a coach or potential coach has a very cumbersome process or they don't tell you what it is, reach out to me.
• 3:02
  Philip Pape: I will tell you exactly how it works, how ours works, why it's so seamless.
• 3:05
  Philip Pape: I'll even put you in touch with my other clients, including the one I just mentioned who told me about the differences here.
• 3:11
  Philip Pape: That's it.
• 3:12
