## Resource

Welcome to episode 190 of the Bodybuilding Down Under podcast! This week only two of us locked in, and somehow the podcast still rolls on. In this episode we wrap up a massive 2025 for Bodybuilding Down Under, not missing a single weekly episode, turning up to nearly every national show, commentating NBA Nationals, meeting listeners from all over the world, and hitting 45,000 listeners. From there, it turns into a chat covering building a coaching business without gimmicks, why consistency beats clickbait every time, the potential problems with business coaches and low-barrier online coaching, balance vs sacrifice, and some uncomfortable truths around mental health, motivation, and competing for the right reasons.
