OM DENNE EPISODE
In this episode, Collin sits down with behavior change expert and host of the Change Made Easy podcast, Paul Levitin. Paul shares his journey from a frustrated personal trainer to a mindset coach, revealing why "perfect plans" often fail because they treat humans like robots rather than people.
They dive deep into the "E.A.S.I.E.R." framework, a system designed to help you stop fighting yourself and start achieving sustainable growth in fitness, business, and relationships. Paul argues that the secret to long-term change isn't more willpower—it's reducing friction and leaning into the "human" parts of our nature.
