The second episode of The Boss Brew is coming out tomorrow, in which I’ll be chatting with Pedro Negrao. Pedro is a personal trainer from São Paulo, Brazil, who has used these 5 qualities below to transform his body and get into incredible shape.  Let's be honest, you're ambitious, you want to dominate in business, and you want to feel incredible in your own skin. Well, guess what? These two goals aren't as far apart as you might think. The same mindset qualities that transform flabby business plans into thriving enterprises are the very same ones that sculpt beer bellies into six-packs. Intrigued? Let's dive in... 1. Discipline: Your Secret Weapon for Success Ever heard the saying, "Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym"? Well, it's true. Just like those rock-hard abs require consistent healthy choices, a successful business demands a disciplined approach. In Business: Discipline means sticking to your marketing plan, showing up for client meetings even when you'd rather binge-watch Netflix, and saying "no" to that shiny new office gadget when you know it's not essential. In Fitness: Discipline means prepping healthy meals, hitting the gym even when it's raining sideways, and resisting the siren call of the biscuit tin. 2. Resilience: Bouncing Back from Setbacks In business and fitness, setbacks are inevitable. A marketing campaign flops, a client bails, or you injure yourself in the gym. The difference between those who succeed and those who don't? Resilience. In Business: Resilient entrepreneurs view failures as learning opportunities. They dust themselves off, analyse what went wrong, and come back stronger than ever. In Fitness: Resilient athletes don't let a missed workout or a plateau in progress derail their goals. They adjust their training, refocus their mindset, and keep pushing forward. 3. Adaptability: Embracing Change Like a Pro The business terrain and your body are constantly evolving. To stay ahead of the game, you need to be adaptable. In Business: Adaptability means pivoting your strategy when the market shifts, embracing new technologies, and staying open to feedback from your team and customers. In Fitness: Adaptable athletes switch up their workouts to avoid plateaus, try new fitness classes, and modify their nutrition plans based on their changing needs. 4. Goal Setting: Your Roadmap to Success Would you set off on a cross-country road trip without a map? Probably not. The same goes for your business and fitness journeys. In Business: Clear, measurable goals give you direction and purpose. They help you track your progress, celebrate wins, and identify areas for improvement. In Fitness: Specific, achievable fitness goals keep you motivated. Whether it's running a marathon, losing 10 pounds, or lifting a certain weight, having a target in sight helps you stay focused. 5. Self-Belief: Your Inner Cheerleader This is the big one. Without self-belief, your business and fitness goals will remain just that – goals. In Business: Believing in yourself and your vision is essential for overcoming obstacles, inspiring your team, and convincing investors to back your idea. In Fitness: Self-belief fuels your motivation, helps you push through tough workouts, and ultimately, achieve the results you crave. Bonus Tip: Find a Mentor or Coach Just as a personal trainer can guide you through your fitness journey, a business mentor or coach can provide invaluable support and guidance on your entrepreneurial path. They can offer advice, share their experiences, and help you stay accountable. Which of these mindset qualities do you already possess? Which ones could you work on? How can you apply these qualities to both your business and fitness goals? Share your thoughts in the comments below. We'd love to hear how you're levelling up in both areas of your life. _________________________________________________________________ Tap here to chat to me about how we can amplify your brand to the world, guaranteeing an overnight boost in rankings, reputation & traffic.

A Vegan Trainer’s Secrets to Sculpting Your Dream Physique

Posted by:

On:

The second episode of The Boss Brew Podcast is released today. Available to watch on our YouTube Channel, titled ‘The Plant-Based Vegan King Teaches How to Diet and Workout to Build Muscle’.

So who’s the ‘Plant-based vegan king’? This is Pedro Negrao, a personal trainer from São Paulo, Brazil. I’ve known Pedro since 2017 when I met him through friends on one of my trips to São Paulo. I started training with him in 2022 when he kindly allowed me to join him train our friend Daniel. I’d never had a personal trainer before and had no idea what to expect. When I train on my own I’m more likely to take it easier, not push myself. Pedro does not allow that. He pushes you to your limit… and I loved it! 

I trained with him for 10 weeks earlier this year and I could see a noticeable difference to my body. As Pedro explains in the podcast/video, to reach your desired body and build muscle, what you eat is crucial. That was the difference and helped me grow muscle… by eating more. This meant eating when I felt full. Fortunately, the food was delicious, made by our dear fiend Luciene. It was all vegan food and I can honestly say that each meal was delicious, which made eating seconds more manageable.

So what can you expect from this week’s podcast? Pedro shares his diet and how there’s plenty of protein in non-meat food, enabling him to build plenty of muscle. He highlights the importance of eating clean, consuming plant-based protein sources, and avoiding calorie deficits to build muscle effectively. Pedro also emphasises the need to gradually increase protein intake, focus on mobility, and master basic exercises like deadlifts and squats.

Highlights

💪 Eating clean and consuming plant-based protein sources is crucial for building muscle effectively.

🥦 Gradually increasing protein intake and focusing on mobility are key factors in muscle building.

🏋️ Mastering basic exercises like deadlifts and squats is essential for a successful workout routine.

Questions about Diet and Training

Q: What is the importance of diet when it comes to building muscle?

A: Eating clean and consuming a lot of calories is crucial for building muscle. It is essential to have a balanced diet that includes protein-rich vegan foods like lentils, tofu, and beans.

Q: How can one determine the right calorie intake for building muscle?

A: The calorie intake for building muscle varies from person to person based on factors like muscle mass. Generally, individuals with 90 kilos may need around 3,000 calories a day, which is higher than the standard 2,200 – 2,600 calorie intake for men.

Q: Why is it important to focus on mastering basic exercises in the gym?

A: Mastering basic exercises like deadlifts and squats is essential as it helps in understanding biomechanics and improving mobility. It is crucial to progress at your own pace and not compare yourself with others in the gym.

Q: What advice does the trainer give for individuals starting their fitness journey?

A: The trainer advises starting with small steps, such as going to the gym three times a week, and gradually incorporating changes in diet and exercise routine. It is important to take manageable steps to avoid overwhelming oneself and maintain long-term progress.
