How to Stop Wasting Energy on the Wrong Priorities
Guest: Patrick Lyons | Fitness Coach

If I can train a thousand coaches who each help a thousand clients, that’s a million people impacted. That’s how you scale beyond yourself.
Patrick Lyons embodies what it means to design life with intention. From starting pushups as a 9-year-old inspired by Batman Begins, to coaching over 700 clients worldwide, building his Online Fitness Coach Academy, and hosting transformational retreats, Patrick has turned personal struggle into a global mission.
In this episode, Patrick reveals:
Why discipline and protecting your energy matter more than money.
How to scale a fitness or coaching business through trust and content.
The lessons from battling injury, reinvention, and balancing a corporate career with entrepreneurship.
Why his definition of success is happiness, fulfillment, and health while helping others.
This re-cap from one of our classic episodes is raw, powerful, and packed with lessons for entrepreneurs, creators, and anyone ready to level up their life.
