From tracking every number, to talking to more people than ever before, to cutting out distractions and dead weight, Chris reveals the mindset, metrics, and methods that will set you apart in 2026. 

What You’ll Learn

  • Why “unreasonable goals” are the only kind worth setting in 2026
  • The real minimum standard for daily conversations with clients
  • What fitness taught Chris about tracking, accountability, and results
  • How to handle friends who ghost you when you start pushing harder
