I know a lot of you have heard about the juicy mince recipe, but maybe you’re not quite sure how to make it just right. Well, I’ve got you covered. Here’s your Christmas gift—my Alpha Meal Recipe Book! Follow the instructions, watch the videos, and become an absolute alpha in the kitchen. Have you made juicy mince before? Let me know in the comments!

You’ve got all the energy you need, your schedule runs smoothly, you hit the gym, and finish the day with quality time at home. For a lot of you, this sounds miles away. And for those who’ve made it happen, I congratulate you. But here’s the thing: getting there is easier than you think. It just takes a little planning. When we start out with self-improvement, we often go all in, full throttle. I’m guilty of it too. But that approach quickly leads to burnout. In my 20 years of coaching, one thing’s crystal clear: small, steady changes make the biggest impact. Here are some examples of game-changing tweaks: - Get up with your alarm—no snooze. - Eat breakfast. Toast is good, eggs are even better. - Drink water. Hunger is often just thirst in disguise. - Take a walk. Leave your phone, head out for 20 minutes, and clear your mind. - Spend uninterrupted time with loved ones. That time is priceless. You don’t need to check off everything on this list every day. But if you choose just one of these to focus on over the next three months, you’ll see a massive difference. What’s one small change you’ve made that’s had a big impact on your life? Drop it in the comments below!

This week, I’ve had a few of the Alpha Clan clients reaching out, eager to make a plan for Christmas week. Here’s my take: Let’s be clear—I’m an ordinary guy, just like you. I don’t train every single day, I don’t meal prep every day, and I definitely don’t journal every day. There are times I just like to relax and enjoy myself. And when holidays come around? I do exactly that. So my advice for Christmas week? Let it go. We all know the feeling of the Christmas time warp—where you lose track of time, meals, and just about everything else. It’s part of the holiday chaos, and honestly, it’s fine to embrace it. Instead of stressing over an elaborate fitness or meal plan, let yourself enjoy the break. Be secure in the fact that the routines you’ve built for 80% of the year will still be there when you get back. Enjoy yourself now, and pick up where you left off once the new year begins. This is one of the key principles I teach in the Alpha Clan: There will always be Christmas, weddings, holidays, and events where you’ll eat and drink more than usual—and that’s okay. The important thing is what you’re doing the rest of the year, day in and day out. So for now, stay disciplined with your routines. This is when the real work happens. Christmas is for celebrating with family, not meal prepping and biceps curls. Giddy up.

The most common issues I hear from you are feeling exhausted and having zero time. My question is—why? What’s draining your energy and eating up your time? Post your comments below, and let’s work on real solutions together.
