I interview extraordinary people who forge their own path, make their own rules, and live outside the norms of society. Together, we can learn from each other. Remember, foolish people keep making the same mistakes, smart people learn from their mistakes and successes, and extraordinary people learn from the mistakes and successes of both themselves and of others. That is what Dream Chasers and Eccentrics is all about!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-23T14:17:29.178864+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dream-chasers-and-eccentrics-6589317"},"episode":{"title":"Change Never Happens Within Your Comfort Zone, PJ Glassey, Fitness of Body and Mind, X Gym","slug":"change-never-happens-within-your-comfort-zone-pj-glassey-fitness-of-body-and-mind-x-gym","published_at":"2026-03-19T04:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dream-chasers-and-eccentrics-6589317/change-never-happens-within-your-comfort-zone-pj-glassey-fitness-of-body-and-mind-x-gym","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dream-chasers-and-eccentrics-6589317","url":"https://87739191-2c50-43ed-b5c1-cd8e9de230ed.libsyn.com/change-never-happens-within-your-comfort-zone-pj-glassey-fitness-of-body-and-mind-x-gym","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/87739191-2c50-43ed-b5c1-cd8e9de230ed/PJ_Glassey_-_31826_11.27_AM.mp3?dest-id=4106877","summary":"PJ Glassey started personal training in 1987 and successfully grew his business over the following 11 years, training clients in their homes and at local area gyms. With the help of these clients as test subjects, and armed with his degree in Exercise Science, PJ invented his \"multi-protocol\" concept and refined it through 1998, when he founded the X Gym. He is also the author of the book \"Cracking Your Calorie Code\" and the inventor of his Brain Type Test, which helps people achieve health and fitness results much faster through specific brain wiring techniques tailored to their unique brain type. We talk about his unconventional training method, which focuses on toning and defining instead of bulking muscles and taking less time and being less dangerous, muscle size vs strength, muscle density instead of girth, endurance and strength training, sets to complete muscle failure, intensity, the equipment in his gym, comfort and the downward spiral of staying in your comfort zone, exercise goals, TRX, diet, alcohol and aging, breakfast, intermittent fasting, why aging comes from the relentless pursuit of comfort, avoiding dementia, brain training and body training, the value of discipline, the biggest mistake of New Year's resolutions, doing business based on Jesus Christ (and morals and ethics), sharing happiness, asking God for inspiration, beating writer's block, and more.
