But first, what’s your favorite color? And why?
Unknown Speaker 2:34
I probably have to go with blue just because that’s the first thing that popped into my mind. I I feel like that if you think too hard about those types of questions, right? I get all wound up and you’re like, oh, man, it’s chartreuse. I guess it’s burnt. That’s burnt orange.
Unknown Speaker 2:47
I love it. I love salmon, salmon.
Unknown Speaker 2:50
The light salmon, lights. I
Unknown Speaker 2:52
love it, man. Thanks for coming on brother. And like I’ve vetted you out to go through this. It’s just stacked and stacked and stacked with information that helps people level up, you know, time to shine today, our mission credo, whatever you want to call it, it’s we don’t want to have anyone to feel like they have no one. But I also my clients that I that I coach a lot of the forest 100 and high end clients, professional athletes and what stuff and we all agree that, you know, if you look good, you feel good, you feel good, you perform good. And if you perform good, you make money, you make connections you make whatever, so I know that you come from that. But let’s get to the origins how you started there, brother.
Unknown Speaker 3:26
Okay, yeah, and I know I’m gonna try to I’m trying to keep this really nice and concise. So basically, I got into fitness as a fear based response to kind of comedy situation happened me when I was like 11 or 12. I was in eighth grade. My mom dropped my sister off at school, I was at home by myself. someone breaks into my back door breaks the window. I’m like, That can’t be good. Grab a steak knife, and I’m crawling out of my bed locking this little like rinky dink like deep, like door lock, right here, this guy coming down the hallway, got wood floors, he’s like, boom, boom. It’s like It’s like ingrained in my memory. Oh mounds on my door. I’m like down to the steak knife. Like I dare you put your face down here. Like pretending to be brave, you know, like actually, like peeing myself. Yeah. And I remember in that moment, Scott doing like, like, I don’t ever want to feel powerless like this. Again, I don’t ever want to feel like my like a ton of entire autonomy is like stripped away from me. So I was like, you know, what I’ll do is I’m going to buy a bunch of knives on eBay. As a 12 year old, pretty good, pretty good idea. Yeah. And I’m also gonna, like, equip myself with a bunch of like muscle armor. I’m gonna grow a beard, I’m having earrings, get tattoos and be so intimidating that no one will ever want to mess with me again. That was my mentality when I first started off in fitness. And since then, thank goodness, it has morphed because I think there’s a lot of people who still get tied up in that and want to be intimidating and have something like that. Just stuff from childhood, whatever, just feelings of inadequacy. Sure. I know that like that fear based responses. A lot of us like, oh, I want I want to get in shape. I don’t want to feel a certain kind of way. I feel like I’m XYZ or I’m, I’m lacking X, Y or Z. But I think that like well that’s a great place to start from. We can use that as fuel. We have to transform at some point into what you said. When you look good, you feel good. When you feel good, you perform good. To be performed good, you make connections, you you elevate your lifestyle. Yeah. And so that’s one thing I love about fitness nutrition is that it’s a way of elevating yourself. Rather than trying to pack yourself down and fit into a little box. It’s like, How can I become better today? How can I become greater? How can I uplevel my energy? Who can I touch right now? I think that when you feel good, and you walk in a room with confidence and energy, like you are able to impact more people. Sure. I think that’s like, that’s kind of where I’m at now, compared to where I was, like, 20 years ago.
Unknown Speaker 5:27
That’s beautiful. Thank you for being transparent. That story cuz it reminds me of me like, no, no, I’m, I’m a six, one and 250. No, my waist is a 34. So it’s not like I’m put together like a fat, right? But like, I walk in now, and I kind of get that. And I built a lot of me on insecurities of being a skinny kid. Right? I mean, I was, you know, I was always scrappy. Russell, I made state tournaments, whatever, I was good. But I was always a scrappy kid with the Navy. And then start seeing all these guys in my team, like, building muscle. And it’s like, oh, this is what I want to do. But I, it took me a long time and a lot of coaching to get out of that insecure about security out of my head. Okay, I was always the skinny kid on site. Do you ever have some of that fear that ever surfaces? And what do you do to force that back?
Unknown Speaker 6:11
Yeah, I think that like, I mean, up until pretty recently, like, that has still been kind of my identity, like, like skinny like not, never, like be good enough. Especially trying to be a fitness professional and feeling like, oh, I need to look a certain way to look like I did have like this, these physical attributes. But I think honestly, like, I’m like, using kind of my platform and actually speaking about it hasn’t been really helpful. Yeah, like, at first, like, what I was always thinking was like, oh, like, he’s, he thinks I’m this kind of way, or they expect me to show up like this. But I’m like, Yo, guys, I suck. I have a hard time with a lot of stuff. And this is like, and here’s how, like fitness has helped me. Like that was like really like to be able to be like transformed, like, like transparent and open up about it was like, oh, like, everyone deals with this. I’m not better than anyone. I’m not anyone. We’re on the same page. We’re just all having a human
Unknown Speaker 7:00
experience. Not an anomaly. Right? So,
Unknown Speaker 7:04
which is great to hear. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 7:06
it’s secure there. Let me assume that you you mentioned three or four times I mentioned it three times or seven times so far in this conversation. There’s been the word fear. What’s your acronym for fear?
Unknown Speaker 7:15
Face everything in rise,
Unknown Speaker 7:17
dude. I love that that you said that. Because I say face everything and respond. I actually like rise better. I’m stealing that. That’s awesome. Take it Oh, yeah. Fantastic, bro. That’s it. Thank you for saying because everyone has False Evidence Appearing Real, which is fine. But do face everything and rise. That’s that’s kick ass. I love that. I love that. Thank you. So when you starting to take somebody, let’s let’s say put you in a one on one situation with a new prospective client that comes to you at a training system that again, squad, that’s an eight eight is the numerically neat training systems. Someone comes into what kind of secret sauce Do you have, if you don’t mind sharing to maybe help them find their blind spot?
Unknown Speaker 7:52
Yeah, so I’m big into questions. I will ask people questions over and over and over again. And a lot of times people come in, like, really why you asked me why I want to lose lose weight, like isn’t it obvious? And I’m like, like, no, not not to me. Like we want to I want to really unpack this. So before I give them like tactics, and this is again, like, this is coming from like 1112 years of evolution as a trainer, because before I was like, Scott, you ready to roll? Burpees Let’s go. Come on, you know, but I’m like, like, Scott wise is important to you. And you’re like, Well, I want to get healthy. I’m like, Well, what’s health look like to you? And you’re like, Well, I’d like to, you know, be able to live to this, like this old age like, Well, why is it important to live to meet your 80s or 90s? I want to be there for my family. Why is important be there for your family? Well, I want to like my like, I want to, like walk my daughter down the aisle, essentially, or something along those lines. I’m like, Okay, now that’s a reason. Yeah, now, now we’re getting somewhere. Because it’s like, I wanna lose 20 pounds, I want to run a five kg. Those don’t mean anything. And once you hit them, it doesn’t like it. It kind of renders that, that feeling like obsolete. And you’re like, well, well, now what do I just go back to eating normally do I have to the living my life? Like, right, Scott, like you said, you want to be able to be there with your grandkids and your great grandkids and you want to be able to walk your daughter down the aisle and be able to like crawl around on the floor and like play with your kids like that’s a why now you can stay with this long so before I even get to like tactics and secret sauce we got to what what’s important.
Unknown Speaker 9:15
Yes, the why is critical. I love love that you brought that up. So while you’re meeting with them in that first meeting in the questions you’re firing off at them, which is all powerful questions, obviously to dig to their Why is there any good question that you wish they would ask you but never do?
Unknown Speaker 9:32
Hmm, that’s a great question. I love I get this sometimes I love when people ask me like, why why should I hire you? Or what’s the difference between you and a personal trainer? Because I’ve kind of been in both roles. I think that’s a great question. I think there’s, like that signifies that someone’s actually done their research and not just showing up to be like, Well, what do you like, what’s what’s going on with this? Well, that’s that’s a positive question. And then also like, like, I love it, like not even like in that in that, like, first first meeting but like During our time working together when they go, why are we doing this? Right? I’m eating like this. What’s the point of this protein shake? Why are we doing so many more games?
Unknown Speaker 10:06
I love that. I love that. So what do you think maybe your strengths are?
Unknown Speaker 10:15
Well, I’ve never really been like, the sharpest. Like, I’m not picking stuff up the fastest. I’m not like crushing it year one out of the gate. But I know for a fact, and this is something that I think I’ve liked, that I’ve loved about fitness is that if I don’t quit, I cannot lose. And if I’m committed, and I’m consistent, I know I’m gonna get, I’m gonna get what I want. And if it takes me 10 times, as long as it takes someone like you, Scott, I’m okay with that. Like, I think one of my biggest strengths besides my biceps is my consistency and my patients like I can hang in there and wait for something good to happen. I don’t need to be today I don’t need
Unknown Speaker 10:51
right your clients you pass that right on your clients may inch by inch, it’s a cinch by the artists are that’s we say your time to shine today. Right? So that’s awesome. So to what extent do you appreciate those strengths? are being consistent patient?
Unknown Speaker 11:04
Like, like, how do I how do I feel about them within myself? Exactly. I’m proud of myself. I’m not gonna lie to you. Like I think that this we have this we have a culture right now. Have we got the easy button? We want faster if I if I could, it was able to like put together a pill that gave people weight loss results, right? Like, I’d be a millionaire, right? Yeah. Like that’s what that’s the level we’re living on Amazon Prime mentality. Right. So I think it’s really counterculture to be like, I’m okay with waiting. I’m okay with not having being perfect today. I’m okay with that. Ready, fire aim. Like I’m gonna go. And then I’m gonna get a little bit better. And I’m gonna go again, I’m gonna get a little bit better. And so I like that because I feel like it’s, it’s a it’s a difference maker. And I know that like it. It solidifies. Like, victory is already mine. I’m gonna get the W You can’t stop me. No one can stop right. Jane quavers gonna stop me as
Unknown Speaker 11:49
me. Yeah. Yeah, I love it. And so then what extent do you appreciate your limitations? Because we all have them?
Unknown Speaker 11:56
Yeah, I don’t know if I necessarily appreciate them as much as like, look at them. Like, gotta get better
Unknown Speaker 12:01
at that. But like, the journey, though, baby gotta love it. Right.
Unknown Speaker 12:05
And I know that like, the one thing I do like about them is that when I can see my limitations, like my organizational strength is not my is not like, right, ideal, right? I’m, I’m great at taking action, but like refinement, not, not my like my skill. When I know, Scott, that if I if I actually go to go to work on those things. Those are my limits. Those were asking me from the life I want. So I know that like by addressing them, I’ll get closer. Not that much. It’s not fun. It’s not pretty sometimes. But do you
Unknown Speaker 12:32
appreciate them a lot that man because you know, they do the winners out there. The people that I’ve coached, again, CEOs of monster companies, they look at their limitations. They’re like, dude, if I can’t conquer this, I’ll hire it out. You know what I’m saying? I love that. You say that? Because you can’t hire anybody out your body. You have to take care of it. And I love that you’re trans Dude, you’re transparent. This is frickin awesome. So have you saw the movie Back to the Future? Yeah, okay, let’s get that glory with Marty McFly. Let’s go back to the 20 year old napalm. What kind of knowledge and I guess we call them here at times trying to get a knowledge. I guess you drop it on the 20 year old date to maybe help them level up last through and shorten his learning curve just a little bit.
Unknown Speaker 13:13
I just tend to buy a bunch of Bitcoin. I do. Walking away. I love it. I think that I would, I would go back and like tell myself Hey, get into like get into the things that you want to get into because I got a business degree like I was 20 years old. I was working on a business degree from University of Arizona. And I hate did not like it and I was bored with it. And it was not like it was not my favorite thing. So I spent a lot of time like starting to read fitness articles and nutrition articles and stuff like that. So I would have probably told myself to shortcut that process and go after the thing that I was looking for get that like go for that personal training certification. Like switch switch the degree if that’s what it takes. And then I don’t know I feel like I’ve had
Unknown Speaker 13:55
it all man. It’s all about passion and being authentic. And that’s that’s what I would tell my I’m gonna be 50 That’s what I tell my, my young guy to man. Absolutely. So how do you why your dash remember that little line in between your incarnation date, your expiration date, your life date and death date on your tombstone? How do you want nice dash remember?
Unknown Speaker 14:16
And this changes every year? Like if you would ask me when my 20s I’d be like probably like the guy with the really big biceps. Jordan, you asked me at like 28 I’d be like, Oh, I like adventure. Like, like, just legend. I want to be a legend and then I think you asked me now I’d be like, I want I want my like my family. I have a three year old daughter and a seven month old son I’m like I want them to remember me as being like a cornerstone and a pillar for them that allowed them to grow and thrive. Like it feels like it’s like it used to be all about me and I feel like now it’s not not as much Wow,
Unknown Speaker 14:51
that isn’t that crazy? The older you get man. Yeah, it’s that’s that that answer was kick ass do that was fantastic for being there with that. So let’s get back in that glory. And this time with Doc Brown, where we’re going there are no roads, where do you see Nate Training Systems in five years?
Unknown Speaker 15:10
I would like to one of my big goals right now is to help like 30,000 dads in the US, which is literally point 1% of the dads out there. And so most of the people I work with are, you know, dads, but they’re also C level executives, business owners, entrepreneurs, people like leveling up in their tribes and their trade. So I want to help people like that. Get to the point where, like, the they don’t have that, that track right in the back of their mind, where it’s like, Hey, you’re not enough. You’re not You’re adequate, you know, you don’t like I want to help them feel good. When they walk into the room. I want to give them back their power that they had when they were like, they had that confidence and energy. So I think that like, like, This is who I am. This is where I’m, this is where I’m standing. I love it. Yeah, I can see that if I don’t show up powerfully for my kids. If I walk, if I get back to my house at 5pm. And I’m in a bad mood, like, I see oh, that impacts my kids. And if I show up and I’m like, like Dad’s home, like, let’s go there, I see what they’re like, and I can I know the power of that. So if I can help other dads, how that I know that’s going to completely transform just like families and lives.
Unknown Speaker 16:14
That’s, that’s fantastic. You are doing it, man. You’re doing it. So what do you think people misunderstand the most by me?
Unknown Speaker 16:24
I’m more than just a beard, Scott.
Unknown Speaker 16:28
And that can go a bunch of different ways. I says I said it. I was like,
Unknown Speaker 16:33
let’s keep it. Let’s keep this in the episode. I think that probably people think that I’m like, I come across as being a little bit harsh sometimes. I’m a truth teller. I like to I sometimes don’t sugarcoat things. No kid gloves. And I swear a lot. I’m kind of a rambunctious, right bucket person. So
Unknown Speaker 16:52
good with me, man. Do your thing.
Unknown Speaker 16:54
So I think the people think that like I am I am fitness person trainer hardcore. Let’s get after it kind of guy. I’m really a big softy. So.
Unknown Speaker 17:03
Right. Gotcha. You carry that stick, man, you got that velvet glove that Iron Fist underneath. Yeah, that’s, that’s good stuff. So what keeps you up at night?
Unknown Speaker 17:14
I think like, again, like, I know, I’ve talked about feelings of inadequacy and fear and stuff like that. But the big, big things for me is like, Am I like as an entrepreneur? Like, is this business gonna work out? Should I give this up? Should I go start a landscaping landscaping company? Should I go to work in the workforce? Should I like, Am I like, Am I doing the right things for myself and for my family to create the life and legacy that I’m that I want? And that backs me up? Because I think you know, being a business owner being outdoors, at the heart of it very scary to have to what do you
Unknown Speaker 17:41
think it is? Because you’ve been doing this 11 years, right? Like straight up like straight through 11 years, right? From what I’ve vetted on you, what keeps you going?
Unknown Speaker 17:50
I mean, that same thing I was talking about earlier, like, I know that what I want is on the other side of hard work and consistency. Yeah, man. And if I keep going like and if I like if I putting out content, writing books, I’m talking to people, I’m having conversations like maybe today, like I’m coming off a string of some rough, like some rough, like sales calls, but a bunch of people in a row just saying no to me. And like in the moment today, I’m frustrated. I’m annoyed by that. But I know that this hard work that I’m putting in right now, like, I don’t know what that’s gonna look like in three months, but I know it’s gonna be positive. I know, these things are gonna come back. And so if I’m just delivering value and helping people out as best I can, like, I know, it’s I know, I’m having an impact. I hear that all the time from the clients who are working with me, right? I know that, like the life I want is on the other side of getting people to the life that they want.
Unknown Speaker 18:33
I love that. You know, it’s funny I’m looking at right now on my wall above Donnie said here, just keep doing it. Even when you don’t see any visible progress. It’s literally on my wall. Do you know that’s what you need to hit the nail on the head? And when you do it, man, it goes, bro. So what are three things? Let’s take out our computer or cell phone, tablets, anything electronic trying to go out of it. Let’s take family out because that’s a gift. What are three other things that you cannot live without?
Unknown Speaker 19:09
If I had to like narrow it down to like one piece of workout equipment or something like that, I would probably say there’s a there’s a power block dumbbells that I really love. Love it. Like it’s a dumbbell that I can adjust the weights on like that. It’s amazing. Um, I kind of want to cheat a little bit and say my Kindle like I love reading I’m fine readings good. I can’t I can’t carry out a bunch of books on the Kindle the Kindle money for me.
Unknown Speaker 19:32
Your third answer better be some kind of cheat meal, bro. So come on, man. What is it? What’s your cheat meal?
Unknown Speaker 19:38
I don’t do cheat meals. I just do tacos. Alright, that doesn’t fit the macros I eat tacos.
Unknown Speaker 19:43
Probably beautiful dude. Love it. I love it. So what is Nate’s definition of life well lived.
Unknown Speaker 19:50
I think that you can like you’ll be able to tell if you live a life like worth remembering by like how the like the people you touched when people come to your like, come to your house. You know, what, what are they? What are they saying about you like, oh man, like, he was, he was a nice guy, he did a good job at work, or they were like, hey, like this guy showed up for me when I was in a rough spot this guy like when like, she had a conversation with me, like, I’ve heard the story about Bill Clinton a few times, which is kind of interesting. But when, when people talk about meeting Bill Clinton, they say like, Hey, here’s this influential, really powerful man. And he’s talking to me, like we’re the only people in the room and I’m the most important person here. Yeah, so that’s like, that’s the legacy I wanna leave behind where people are like, like, I knew like yeah, you guys have an idea of who Nate was like I knew him in this capacity. And that one time when I really needed like, some help some eyes on some whatever else, he got me on that so it’ll be for me like
Unknown Speaker 20:44
you gotta be in our business and you kind of coaching business man that’s what I want every client to feel like I might be working with and what I want coaching clients a month, but I want that one client when I’m with them to feel that I’m they’re here because you know, so many people have a foot in the future foot in the past and piss on the president. Right? They don’t care about where they are right now. This is that’s cute. What you just said makes you successful. And what you are because you’re there with every person. That’s fantastic.

What I found from that it was not transformational at all. It gave some good tips. And people were like, Oh, this is great, nice, very nice book and put it away. This book is basically a like a step by step guide to a nutrition system that I find is as really powerful. I feel like a lot of coaches write books that are like, Hey, here’s a like a long letter about why you should buy my service. I don’t do that because I don’t know I’m going to be in 10 years, I want this to be something that people can pick up in a decade or two and still get incredible results. So it’s a little less Slyke story driven and a little bit more like, here’s what we know, here’s why it’s important. Here’s what to do next. And so by if you read that book, it’s it’ll give you a four week blueprint or game plan on how to to start eating in a way that fuels your energy teaches your body to burn fat for fuel, and just helps you release some pounds feel a lot better show up with show up with more energy enthusiasm everywhere in life.

Unknown Speaker 25:35
I think we’ve already I mean, we already established this but this is like I think this is the most important thing is that you beat it in man. What is it? You can’t lose if you don’t quit? Yes cannot lose if you don’t quit. I think that’s like the most important thing whether you’re a dad, parent, husband, spouse, business owner, or you’re working on your health and fitness like the only like the only time that you lose or you falters when you stop so whether you you have a like you eat off plan you gain a couple pounds back you will have a fight with your wife your kids doesn’t matter keep going
Unknown Speaker 26:04
and going reset that’s beautiful and squad we just had an awesome awesome masterclass basically free one my boy here Nate the great Palmer, you know, he built his like life kind of on a fear based response that got him into fitness because of his, you know, go back to minute two or three in this interview and it got pretty deep for him as a young kid. You know, he’ll tell you that fitness nutrition will elevate yourself no matter what you can always come back to that base. If you fall off, you can reset and keep moving forward, you know, face everything in rise, fear, his acronym, his face everything in rise. I love that love that. And he believes that a great coach like himself, will help you find your why he’ll dig with powerful questions to help you find your why and why he’ll always take you back to your why. Even though you’re getting off track, a great coach will do that, you know, ask a good coach, why should I hire you? And there’s that why word again, because he’s gonna take care of your wife, he’s gonna keep you on track your wife, you know, I’m gonna say this probably three times in this recap, but don’t quit. If you don’t quit, you won’t lose. So that’s bottom line. That’s where he comes from. You know, you believe in a ready fire aim mentality and a lot of different things. And you want you to get into your passion, get into what you want to do, you might go to business for poetry or business. But really, if you’re set, like my boy Nate to level up people in their health and fitness and mindset, then by all means frickin do it. You’ll go after your passion. If you don’t know about certain things like like good, friendly or Woodford says Get your asking gear, ask people and there are people there that will help you. He’s gonna be known as a cornerstone and a pillar, flowers family to grow and also the people around him that he comes in touch with, you know, he’s going to help 30,000 dads or maybe even more, which basically comes he wants to have 1% of the population of dads to level up their life and level up their tribes and trade it I mean, that’s that’s frickin huge. In other people that know you. He wants it, especially the people come across my boy Nate’s path. He wants to be in touch with them. You showed up and helped shape the lives with 1000s of people at this cat’s funeral.
