When passion drives us to chase our dreams, they come true. You just have to trust the process, because it doesn't happen when you want it to, it happens when it's supposed to.
Joe Morrison won our Mansformation Transformation Challenge last year when he lost 28lbs in 12 weeks. One of the driving forces for him was to get in shape for his next attempt to become a Pro Drag Racer.
In this episode, we talk about his journey from losing weight, to gaining some of it back and how we are going to prepare for his pro debut in 2020.
This episode is a great example of how life is a project with forever changing opportunities and situations and how we adapt to them is what determines our success and ultimately our happiness.

#56 Learning The Art Of The Process
In this episode, I chopped it up with James who is an amateur bodybuilder and men’s physique competitor. James is also a professional salesman and he relates to building his body like being a successful salesman, through the process. He shares some really great takeaways like “You can control what you do, but you can’t always control the results”. A key component when transforming your body, building a career and everything in between. Focus on the process of becoming and the results will eventually show up.
We also talk about delaying gratification and how taking just a few minutes to think before you act can drastically increase your chances of accomplishing the desired outcome.
Please share this with someone you feel would find value, thank you!
It's been 10 years since Karen and I opened up our business - bodhi by anthony monetti in Somerville NJ. It hasn't been easy but, I'd be lying if I said I didn't love every minute of the process of growing a business, building a brand and creating a legacy.
My parents didn't jive with this in the beginning and when I lived with them and they paid my room and board I didn't have much to say. They wanted nothing by success for me, they just didn't think "starting a business" was a smart idea.
On this podcast, I call them up to ask them how they feel now, 10 years after we opened up our first business.
Great fun on this one and the message is simple. Not everyone is going to agree with what YOU want and dream about. And they don't have to. This is your life, and the only one that has to believe in you is you.
Thank you for listening! And please leave a review on itunes and share this podcast with someone who will find value in this message, Thank you!

Jen, fifty-three years old, a mother of 3, transforming her body while building muscle, burning fat and getting stronger with the magic of visualization.
Before we can even begin to take action ion our goals, we must paint a mental picture of what our success will look like. It starts with seeing it mentally, then believing it’s possible, and then we can take action and actually do the necessary tasks needed for success.
Creating a mental image of what we want, is like planting a seed of exactly how we want our life to look. Once the seed (thought/mental image) is planted in our brain, then just like a flower or tree we nurture those thoughts by thinking of them often and connecting more with the actions needed. The mental image we visualize is like roots that form from seed. The more vivid the picture, the stronger the roots become eventually manifesting into success.
It’s not always easy to do, especially when results don’t show up quickly. But on this podcast, Jen shares her story and how she ran her first 10-mile race, became Teacher Of The Year, and transformed her body to step on stage with confidence as a figure competitor.
Powerful podcast here, give a listen and save it so you can watch during those challenging times when results are quick but you are still putting in the work.
Also, if you know of anyone who may be currently struggling with a “plateau” share this and let’s inspire them!
Chris Miller walked into the gym 80 lbs overweight with type II diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. After accepting the “Teacher of the year award” he saw a photo of himself and wants happy. As a man who loves to lead by example, Chris began his transformation journey despite being scared and intimidated.
Mr. Miller’s transformation will be remembered as one of the most inspiring stories we’ve seen. And at 62 yrs old he says he’s just getting started!

Today, we sit with Kevin. Kevin started his transformation journey last November right before Thanksgiving which its great because he shares his thoughts on how to lose weight through the holidays. This is even cooler because we are currently in the middle of a 6-week holiday challenge, which you’ve been hearing me speak of this a ton lately.
Kevin has lost over 70lbs this past year and has continued to keep it off! Although he went in for surgery the very next day after this podcast, he’s confident with the game plan we’ve created together that he will not only recover fast, he will not gain excessive weight and will comer back even stronger!
Give this a listen, and share with a friend who may be going through a challenging time Maybe this will help, that what Project My Life is all about - people inspiring people!
Thank you for the support in inspiring people to transform their bodies and create their best quality of life!
Once you know what needs to be done, the rest is a game of patience. Patience is a matter of delaying gratification in the short term, knowing the results will be more worthwhile in the long term.
I talked with John K - a member of bodhi for the past 3.5 years and asked him what was the key to his transformational success.
He has completely transformed his body, from 23% bodyfat to 6%, from bench pressing 135 as a max 3 years ago to now benching 205 for reps of six.
Results don't happen overnight, but with consistency and patience.

#51 Losing weight during the holidays
I’ve been talking about this a ton lately. Mostly because it’s the most difficult time of year to start a weight loss plan. Which is the exact reason why I feel you should start your weight loss plan.
We are constantly faced with life events which can easily distract us from our goals. Any goals really, but I’m talking specifically about weight loss and body transformations here.
I’ve seen it in 1000 (maybe more) times. Your restricted diet is going great with meals timed out perfectly, workouts are invigorating, and losing weight seems easy
Then, you get invited to a birthday party and you don’t have access to the foods you’ve been eating which has gotten you recent success on the scale and in the mirror. What do you do?
Do you eat the meal with the forbidden foods that you’ve avoided for so long? Do you “splurge” and have the cake also?
The reason I offered a 6 week Holiday challenge for the folks at bodhi was to create some awareness around eating foods moderately and to learn how to incorporate all foods into their diet. And still, lose weight.
I crashed in on Danielle’s weekly consultation with Karen when I heard them celebrate a “new low” on the scale. Ironically, it was after Thanksgiving. So I felt compelled to ask Danielle a few questions regarding her recent success.
Take a listen, and please leave us a review of this podcast! Also, share with a friend who may be struggling with their diet during the holiday season!
Thank you! 💚
