Unbelievable Transformation from Overweight to Fitness Coach I E4 Shane Jenne

Joining us on The Struggle is Real is Shane Jenne.

In this episode, Shane and I discuss his early struggles with weight and how he was bound to a life filled with chronic health issues.

Instead of fulfilling this prophecy though, Shane transformed his life losing 80 pounds the summer after his freshman year of college.

He didn’t stop there though. His transformation inspired him to help those starting their own health revolution. Shane became a certified personal trainer and strength and conditioning coach.

He recently started an online personal training program for the entertainment industry that includes actors, dancers, and performers. 

This episode includes tips on fitness, nutrition, and sleep.

[26:50] There is nothing after 10pm that has to happen after 10pm.

[36:55] I won’t give them a bucket of fish. I will give them a fishing pole and show them where to go but they have to show up and maintain their fishing pole.

[41:38] At a young age, we might still be looking to find a mentor to help us along the way. But just as quickly as we find one, we have to be ready to be a mentor to those below us.

About the Podcast

FI Minded - Financial Independence, Early Retirement & Lifestyle Design
Achieve Financial Independence & Have Fun Doing It
Pursuing financial independence, financial freedom, or early retirement often leads to the same questions: How do I become financially independent? How much should I save? What happens after I reach FI?

FI Minded helps you use money to create more freedom, without turning your entire life into a financial optimization project.

Host Justin Peters explores the decisions behind building a flexible, work-optional life, from reaching financial independence and navigating Coast FI and Slow FI to spending your money, changing careers, stepping away from work, and figuring out what comes after FI.

Each episode combines practical personal finance with conversations about early retirement, lifestyle design, work, spending, healthcare, self-employment, and life after financial independence. The goal isn't simply to reach FI as quickly as possible. It's to make progress toward financial freedom while actually enjoying your life along the way.

On FI Minded, you'll learn how to:
- Reach financial independence without burning out
- Build a flexible, work-optional lifestyle
- Navigate Coast FI, Slow FI, and other paths to FI
- Make smarter decisions about spending and saving
- Prepare financially and emotionally for early retirement
- Figure out what life can look like after financial independence
- Think through the tradeoffs behind major money and lifestyle decisions
- Make progress toward financial independence while actually living your life.
