This week my actual dream came true. That's right. It's not perfect or as imagined. Realized dream's never are. But it is real, and it's mine, and in my hands now, it means far more than I ever dreamed it could. I hope my story gives you a few ideas for your own. Enjoy the show. Cheers, Chris

Barbell Buddha Podcast - with Chris Moore from Barbell Shrugged

About my dream come true

Julien doesn't need much of an introduction.  Just let him start talking and I guarantee, you'll be hooked. You'll quickly get why I like hanging out with this guy so much. And of course, why I've turned my training over to him.  It feels very good to be a student again. Thanks, Julien.  Chris

Chat with Top Strength Coach, Julien Pineau - Episode #100

Time for Saturday night Sangha. I’d like to teach and share a bit, if that’s alright with you.  This time around… 1.“What the hell is #BarbellShrugged up to?” I will tell you clearly, but you must listen! We’ve got cool shit cooking, but you’ve only seen a small bit.  2.I’ve lost something like 40 pounds since coming to Cali. I’ll share what I did, or do, every morning to trigger that.  3.“Chris, what would you tell your childhood self now?” Great question, I’ll answer it!  4.“What book should you read to transform your life?” …Well, let me teach again about looking too closely at pointing fingers.  I hope you enjoy the show. Cheers, :)Chris

Under Pressure

I wanted to take a moment and share my 2016 resolutions. I think you'll dig it.  Happy Holidays, friend.  Chris

Time for Resolution

Down the Rabbit Hole with Mike Bledsoe

What habits increase your chances of success the most? There's training, great conversation, and reading is great. But also, there's the power of writing.   This episode is all about the written word, and how you can harness it for greater effect.   Enjoy :) Chris

Gratuity included

I attended a Tony Robbins event two months or so ago. Yes, it's true. And tonight I finally have something to say about it.  Also, I've had two cups of coffee and one very strong margarita. So, I'm certain not to bore you. :)  Cheers, Chris

Tony Robbins Mind Bang/Picking up on pattern

This week let's talk about the frustrations of not getting the effect you want from your training - and from your life - and what to do about that.  I hope you enjoy the show, Cheers,  Chris

Undivided Intention

Morning ritual, the rememdy to self-doubt, and a quick football story to make you laugh. I hope you enjoy the show :) Chris

Back to the Garden

The key to reaching your full potential is great coaching. On this episode of Get Change, we'll chat about the real power of coaching, how you can find mentorship in absolutely everything you read and do, and why it's YOUR responsibility to maximize the number of intereactions you have with impactful minds. I hope you dig the show, Chris

Coming full circle

It's been a while since the last episode of Get Change. What can I say, it’s been a wild spring. I’ve only now felt the urge to ramble on a bit. In between episodes, my family and I have managed to complete a wild cross-country move from our hometown in Memphis, Tennessee to Encinitas, California, the brand new HQ of Barbell Shrugged. I think you’ll get a kick out of the story. After catching up, I thought we’d talk a bit about inspiration, creativity, and how to make shit that you’re proud of. That’s all anyone is after, right? My story is pretty cliche at this point. I’ve come out to California for the same reason any writer/loud-mouth would - To find a big spark, a new muse, and a shot at changing the world in some tiny Chris-shaped way. That wasn’t going to happen by swimming around in the same comfortable, small ponds, feeling the same feelings, thinking and expressing the same perspective. As Tolstoy wrote, “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing themselves.” If you want to say something new, start by finding brand new ways to think and feel. Go out and gather new experiences from within some new, more spacious lake. Build new routines and daily rhythms. And instead hurrying yourself, why not focus on doing just one small, cool, obviously good thing today instead? There's all that and more on this week's show. We'll chat again next week. Until then, if you have questions or comments, just leave them in the thread below. I'd love to hear what you have to say. Cheers, Chris

Off on the good foot

This is the story of how the greatest episode of Barbell Shrugged ever ALMOST happened.  No, seriously, we were 5-minutes and 10-feet from bringing you an exclusive interview with the Governator himself, Arnold Schwarzenneger...Like, for real. That almost happened, and as surreal as the event was, the lessons we took from the experience are priceless. That's what this story is about. I hope you dig the show.  Chris P.S. I have a brand new plan to get Arnold on Barbell Shrugged this year. This one's even better than before, because it might just buy us an extended interview on his home turf. Do you hear that, Governor, Sir? Make it easy on yourself and just come on the show already. We don't ever give up, so it's only a matter of time. Let's get this out of the way now. It will be fun, I promise you.  If it helps at all, I can bring plenty of beer and legit pretzels. I know how important it is to serve a proper pretzel.  Mach's gut, 

The Arnold Schwarzenegger Staredown

This week I thought I would do something different.  It's storytime again, but this week I'm reading an easter egg from my book, Get Change. It's actually the very first story I ever wrote for the blog...The Debauchery Diary. I hope you dig it. I recommed a few red grapefruit margaritas with this, it only makes the show that much better.  Cheers, Chris
