03:15 - How I can get my 12-year-old son to understand the concept, power, and impact that mindset can have in every aspect of his life?

05:45 - I have been doing the same exact job for three years and worked in the same organization for 7 years. I would like to do something else but I don’t think I will be able to find a job that pays the same around me and my wife is unwilling to move. Any advice?

07:45 - Any advice on transitioning from a corporate job into my own business, within the same profession?

10:30 - I bought my dad a Whoop for his birthday, along with a 12-month membership. But he’s only worn it once and hasn’t touched it since, and gets mad whenever the topic is brought up or he sees me wearing mine. How do I get him to wear and listen to it without attacking him or aggravating him?

12:10 - What are your most important factors & principles to scale an online business like CompTrain?

14:30 - What resources do you recommend for a teenager to begin learning about strength training?

16:00 - What’s your opinion on hypertrophy training incorporated in with CrossFit training?

17:30 - Is a little extra fat gain normal when trying to put on muscle weight, or does that mean you’re eating too much?

18:04 - I follow CompTrain, but wanted to get into more weightlifting since I know I should build-up since I’m young. I know Ben has recommended the conjugate method. I’ve tried, but I like day to day programming so I can be accountable. Should I look for a coach or is there great programming out there that wouldn’t put me into overdoing it with CompTrain programming?

19:30 - Would a Games athlete get more benefit from having you coach them but using someone else's programming or using your programming but working with another coach?

20: 30 - How does a good leader/box owner balance their creativity with the need to make decisions?

23:40 - What do you see as a common obstacle for most athletes?
