SLP 092: Sippin on Excellence with Kenny Johnson

In this episode of The Success Lift Podcast, Brian has an interesting conversation with Kenny Johnson. Kenny works as a coach, helping men understand their feelings, manage their emotions, and optimize their bodies. Today, Kenny explains that the great majority of people – and he sees that through his clients – don’t really know why they have poor habits and for that reason, have a hard time trying to change.

In addition, Kenny talks about his own mindset shifts and the work he had to do on himself before being able to help others do the work on themselves. A lot of times, mentors and coaches are seen as people who have all figured out when it comes to healthy habits, relationships, or work, but they are also learning. At the end of the day, as Brian and Kenny point out, we are all a work in progress. Tune in!
