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.

Favorite Quotes:

[11:58] You have to be dedicated and motivated everyday and you do that by being inspired by understanding what your why is.

[13:12] The more people that know about your journey, the more people are going to ask you about it. The more people are asking about your journey, the more accountable you are.

[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 Without the Extremes
Achieve Financial Independence & Have Fun Doing It
Pursuing financial freedom, a work-optional lifestyle, or early retirement often leads to the same questions: “one more year,” “do I have enough?” “what does life actually look like after this?”

FI Minded helps you think like someone who’s already financially independent so you can make smarter decisions about how you work, spend, and live.

From Coast FI and Slow FI to lifestyle design, career transitions, healthcare, and self-employment, each episode explores the real decisions behind building a flexible, work-optional life…without burnout, over-optimization, or missing out along the way.

We cover:
* Smarter ways to reach financial independence (without burnout)
* Designing a flexible, work-optional lifestyle
* Coast FI, Slow FI, and enjoying your time along the way
* What life actually looks like after FI (and how to prepare for it)
* The tradeoffs behind big money decisions

Make progress toward financial independence while actually living your life.
