We’re here to create magic and inspire you to alight your desire.
Morning. Morning. Morning. How are we going? So welcome to the first podcast I'm seeing this then.
Mitch Coleman:Don't know already. I'm Mitch Coleman, but obviously, a lot of you already know that. I'll be honest. I didn't really know how to start a podcast, And I've been wanting to start a podcast for the past 6 months maybe. Thinking about it for maybe the past 9 months, and it's it's come to a point where I'm like, right.
Mitch Coleman:Okay. If you don't start, then when are you actually gonna do it? Because there's actually no reason why you're not doing it right now. Before I wasn't that confident speaking in front of people or stuff, a bit of resistance, but now it's like a lot more second nature to me. And then then it was like, yeah, I don't know.
Mitch Coleman:I don't know. And at the time, do I set up all the equipment and all of this stuff, all the things and all the fears, and now I'm thinking, you know, I don't wanna I wanna get it right. I don't wanna put it out there until it's right. And all these little things that really excuses of fears were coming up. Really, all I wanna do is just talk to you guys.
Mitch Coleman:I wanna talk to you guys on there, on a more connecting level, more relaxed where you guys can just listen along, whether you're in the car, whether you're at work, you just put your headphones in, whether you're at the gym, because I wanna just make sure that we're still in contact in different formats. Obviously, you'll have your one to ones with me. We'll be in the group, if we're in person or remote. Like, we've still got that concept, but I wanted to make sure there's something where there's some something consistent, like, on a weekly basis, something you can just plug and play, and just listen to rung and connect. And, as we go, it will grow, and it will it will evolve, and hopefully, I'll add a bit more value in for you.
Mitch Coleman:So, yeah, this is, today, I just wanted to share a little bit about things that you might not know about the MC conditioner and why it started. I mean, it started in in 2018. If you go right back, I feel like the the pivotal moment for me was I had a crash in 20 60. I was in Ibiza, partying, living my best life, doing things, taking things that I probably shouldn't have been taking, and just living that life. Not really a caring award.
Mitch Coleman:I was trying to think back to that when I was 21. I was actually thinking that what conversations were happening because I know there were good ones. I know there were bad intelligence. To the point of where I think now, 8 years on. But, yeah, I was I was delivering my best life and thought, yeah, this is me.
Mitch Coleman:This is me for life. And we went out on these dune boogies, off road boogies, and my mate was driving, and I was watching him go around these corners. I was like, oh, it's sick. He's he's like drifting around the corners. He'd obviously done it before, and, I remember in the back of my head, like remembering that, and we swapped over, and there was a split second.
Mitch Coleman:My mom's in the toilet. I didn't have my belt on when he was driving. I didn't have my belt on. And I didn't have my belt on. And there's a split second, like, when we swapped over there.
Mitch Coleman:But I just thought, let let me put my belt on. So I was in the driving seat and, literally we we were in the front and someone said, here, let's let's go, let's go race down to the bottom.' I mean, in a group of laps, all high testosterone, touchy masculinity, race down to the bottom is for Amos for Amos' last words. And, yeah. We were driving down and we was at the front and I remember it could hit coming towards a bend, and in the back of my mind, I think there was a little bit of, seeing my friend doing around that corner, drifting around the corner. So I went into the corner too fast, not really knowing even how to handle it, and went around the corner.
Mitch Coleman:As of coming around the corner, the car's locked out and it's skidding, and it's a good 1, 2, 3, 4, bang. And you could see it coming, and it was just like couldn't see anything. I went into we went into the back of a parked truck. My mate, Charlie, went flying out. He, he broke his leg, cracked his rib, but didn't Yeah.
Mitch Coleman:He did have his belt on. I fractured my knee. My knee went into the roll code. My knee was actually in my in my thigh. My knee was in my thigh when I looked down.
Mitch Coleman:I looked down I only looked at it once because I looked down and I was like, couldn't look at it again. I looked so I wrote it, Charlie. He had a hole in his leg and it's scarred him. And I remember just sitting there thinking, Is this, this has got to be a dream. This has got I remember saying out loud, like, oh, my mates come running over to helpless and that, but I was just saying this has gotta be this has gotta be a bad dream.
Mitch Coleman:Because all everything was just coming into reality then. And, yeah, it was a it was a tough tough recovery that was like. It was a weekend back in Spain. Doctor James Beebach about good English, but, yeah, he was a training boy because I was I was always the the fit one. I was always a sporty one.
Mitch Coleman:Grew up there swimming, football, kickboxing, tennis, played lots of sports, all good at sports, always quick. I played football and kickboxing up until 17, 18, and then all of a sudden no. I used to go to the gym a little bit as well. Probably started from like 16, but all of a sudden I was like, unable to any of these things, unable to care for myself, having to get friends to help me into the bathroom when I was still over there. My mom flew out to come and come and get me on the flight back, and then at my mom's house, and then yeah.
Mitch Coleman:She was there to help me in the bathroom. I was in a full leg full leg cash. Have anyone ever been in a in a full leg cash? It was a hapless group. But that was good.
Mitch Coleman:It's a final year of uni. It's a big pressure as well. I had a lot of pressure external pressure, always wanting to do well, in my grades, and always got labeled as like, yeah, you're smart, I'll do well. And you have to live up to these expectations that all I have and even set up myself, and it's almost like my mom, family, all my family did well in at yearly and, everyone else around me, and I'm thinking I can't be messing up here. First two years of you didn't go well, and then final year, Now I've got to get a good grade.
Mitch Coleman:I was up against it anyway because I wanted to make up for the 2nd year, and I've got to do it all whilst I'm sat here pretty much disabled, doing it temporarily. And, yeah, so I was down in Wales, being with my friends. That year was, that year was the toughest year that I've had, in my room, just come back from a life of party in a way to mentally I wasn't the the death in terms of health wise, physically and mentally, And then also we had a yeah. It was It is a funny one because now I was starting to really get stressed and experience what stress was. And I just thought, you know what?
Mitch Coleman:If I leave uni, I'm just gonna lock myself away. Lock myself away and just got stood there to get me sprayed. Now some may say, yeah. Well, doing good. Get your head down.
Mitch Coleman:Others, can better experience it themselves. Know how stressful that is and, like, I was locked away all day. Couldn't really walk, couldn't go out, couldn't exercise, and I started to get really bad anxiety. Remember we come back from a uni trip, and we we was drinking on a trip, and I come back on the couch and started to tell myself that I was getting these, like, symptoms, cramps in my back. So I told myself I'd keep these stones.
Mitch Coleman:Went to the doctors. They were saying there's nothing there. One doctor said there was, so he gave me some antibiotics, and then let's keep going back and forth to the doctors. My symptoms kept changing, but then the most frustrating part was the doctors kept coming back saying there's nothing wrong, testifying, nothing wrong. I was like, the gut, there's something wrong.
Mitch Coleman:There's gut, there's something wrong. And, until some time I had health anxiety because I was literally telling myself that I was gonna die every day. I was just, in my head, catastrophizing, thinking every little symptom was something real I've had in my head, I've had kidney stones, kidney failure, heart attacks, stomach cancer, testicular cancer, brain tumor. Like, I've I've had all of these things myself. I ignored myself.
Mitch Coleman:I even had a stroke one time. I was like, that was fun. Yeah. So these things that I was, like, telling myself in my head and living them because in my head, it is all symptoms are real. These are all all things that stem from the lifestyle that I had, and it wasn't until I found it.
Mitch Coleman:I was actually a conversation with my uncle. He works in the mental health department, and he said to me that he had a a long chat. And some of what he said to me were he's like, alright. Okay. Two options you got now, but I can't remember what the symptom was at the time.
Mitch Coleman:Let's just say it was stomach cancer because my dad my dad had stomach cancer, so they used to work in common when they get there. And he he used to say, okay. He used to walk into a a bookies, a betting shop. And there's a machine there and it was a £1,000,000 prize. And you've got a a one button on the left says you've got stomach cancer.
Mitch Coleman:One button on the right says you're gonna be all you're gonna be okay. It's all fine. Which one would you press to win £1,000,000 a few years of betting, man. And obviously, you broke it down to me, and I was, it's pretty clear. It's pretty clear what my what my bets would edge to it.
Mitch Coleman:So I slammed it down. I still got my cat now. Had it. Obviously, I said, yeah. How it's gonna it'll be okay, and when you when you just edge those bets on yourself, is is everything gonna be okay after all this?
Mitch Coleman:And it's so sick to just break it down a little bit, so was it right? From then on, I, I started to get myself out and training, and I started slow with yoga. The mindfulness really helped with the yoga. Obviously, helped with the mobility as well, because I wasn't really moving much. It started to help me connect with my body a lot more, but the breathing, and that was, like, my first real experience where the breath helped.
Mitch Coleman:I tried, like, headspace and stuff before, but it wasn't really powerful enough, especially when I was sitting still anyway. I was very much in my head. I didn't want to be in my head at the time. So moving as my body was it it really did help to relieve a lot of a lot of stress, and then I started to get to the gym and do just started off doing, like, a little bit of upper body, and then I'd go in the sauna and sweat sweat everything out, and that that, again, was something something life changing. These little things that started to add to my day, started to get a bit more headspace, ironically.
Mitch Coleman:And then so I'll watch this. I thought I thought this would be 7 minutes, but, I mean, I'm into the flow of it now. But, yeah, it was it was life changing, and those little small changes really started to help me out. Then I started to get stronger because I was moving, and I was starting to feel stronger, starting to feel like I could I was more capable of things, and I was working around my injury. I still had my injury at the time, and I was working around it.
Mitch Coleman:I was at a point where I was walking with a Zimmer frame. At one point, it was it was that bad, But, lots of crutches, and then I started to take my first steps. Yeah. That these things that you you just take for granted is, like, the little things like being able to get up, walk, shower yourself, dress yourself. Like, these are things I've ever had to get help with every day.
Mitch Coleman:I said, unjipped myself, so I didn't get a blood clot, injected myself in the stomach, and swerved fun things, and I can see now why I was so stressed and it it built up on me. Like, I'll be honest, I see I was in a dark place, but there were days where I was like, I'd rather not wake up today. But I never thought about taking home bites, but I was on the daily not looking forward to waking up, and, yeah, I would wake up, and it'd just be a world of pain and mentally, like, mental pain and these symptoms I was feeling all the time. So, yeah, that was that was a dark dark place, but it wasn't until I started to move, I started to connect with some of my health and mentally started to take notice of that. Things things that they do now, health, fitness, but also travel, like changing my environment.
Mitch Coleman:Changing my environment because I was, I was in my room, in the house, the uni house all the time, and yeah just, it was, an opportunity to go out to America and coach football or soccer as they say. I mean, so shit. I managed to do it before it really, really scared me going out on my own. The thought of that, that I always like to do things with someone, And, you know, my mate's not gonna go and do it again, but, of course, it's a good opportunity. I was just really didn't know what to do.
Mitch Coleman:I was just like, this is this is the only thing that that's that's that's appealing to me. I know it's scary, but probably didn't didn't wanna do it, but and then I was thinking, what happened if I start to get these symptoms out there when I'm on my own, I've got all the family out there, and, yeah, all these things. But these things are still going on, mister Hadma. Symptoms as well, like, I was getting these headaches, I started to think I had a brain tumor, like, these things are all going on, and I'm I'm still going for my final year exam. And, yeah, I've put myself onto that, onto the, the football opportunity in America, so that's in the back of my mind, 5th 5th for that.
Mitch Coleman:And then my results came. And it's I was like, look, I'll be happy with it. Middle grades. A 22 is like a middle grade. I'd I'd take that.
Mitch Coleman:No one's come through is I'd take that as a minimum, and the results come back. Well, like, 21 21 is like a it's like the the second best grade he can get. And to me, I thought that would lay out a reach, and I remember reading things that I said, winter months ago, I was happy. And, yeah, that was a that you'd be a surprise, actually, because kind of at the start, it's, both my eyes a little bit, like, damn, things aren't all doing. That'll be like can do with things, and I was like, right.
Mitch Coleman:Okay. Cool. So I actually had a bit of momentum as well. Is that right? I went to the doctor's about my headache.
Mitch Coleman:That's dirt. I looked right. We can book you in for a scan, but you gotta pay privately. At the time, I didn't have a job paying, like, £253, 100, like, that was, like, a fortune. To me, that was like everything, and even to my mom, that was like didn't have that much money, spare.
Mitch Coleman:So I was like, right. Okay. If I do this, this needs to be with this audio factor, but, obviously, I get this scan now, and it comes back clear. This is the final straw. This is where I just pull my socks off and really started to get a grip, and obviously, the result came back there.
Mitch Coleman:And from then on, I said the symptoms, I was like, right. It's just all in it's all in your head. So it's your head that you need to sort out. It's your head that you need to take control of, and from then I started to get these symptoms. I started to almost, like, Laugh at them.
Mitch Coleman:Started to laugh at them, and it started to to see them for just what they were. They were just Simpsons. They're just temporary things. I just like I used to get these muscle pains, muscle spasms all around my body. I just I used to just tap them tap them away, and, when I started to take a bit more control rather than being like a prisoner to him, and I was like, yeah, please.
Mitch Coleman:Alright. Either my symptoms are like just floating around my body and that's all they are, they're symptoms. Are starting to give me a bit more control. So, yeah, it's it's interesting point that the turning point. And from then I know I obviously went to my graduation, graduated.
Mitch Coleman:That was a great experience, doing it with all my uni friends, and then literally the day after, I was flying out to America, Landed in California. My mate from uni actually picked picked me up, from the airport because he was out there doing it as well. And then there's a poor man who was driving him, he was driving me to down the freeway. He pulled his foot in and out burger, and I'm like, yeah. Weather was good, and the fish thing starts to just melt away.
Mitch Coleman:It's so strange, Joel. How, how these things started to melt away as a picture. Of gut, actually, and I'm I'm on a, you know, a coach. I was on a coach or somewhere, a transfer, and I saw the sign saying Mitchell. It was like, obviously, a location or place.
Mitch Coleman:It said Mitchell, put it in the direction that I was going, And as a didn't really understand it now, but looking back at it, it was a sign of, like, synchronicity. These are the things that I'm meant to be doing, meant to be exploring, meant to be traveling. And, and, yeah, it's, well, from then on, I've got little symptoms, but there's something about being out exploring, doing something that I love, and enjoying my lifestyle, still looking after my health and fitness. I never let that go from that point on. I was always doing something, and then I started taking it to the next level with my personal development and all of that.
Mitch Coleman:I've never looked back. So these dark places, these dark moments and the the crash and my mental health going like these were on Instagram. You can tag me on these things now, and the one that said, best day of your life. Fact the best day of your life and put a photo of it, and I was like, well, I'll put up photos. Me and Zaskia are in Madeira, and that was one of the best days that we've ever had, but I was actually thinking, probably a little pain would want me to put it up, but that day when I crashed, I was going in the wrong direction.
Mitch Coleman:That sign that I saw, he said Mitchell in America pointing out everything's going well. I was going in the opposite direction. That direction would not have ended well. It would have ended up in me me being, like, yeah, not not very well in terms of health wise, maybe career wise, definitely not, and just hanging around with the wrong people, that that would have just led me to something to worry about, mate, to go to jail, get seriously hurt. It's not bad to come back for a certain situation.
Mitch Coleman:So I was heading in the wrong direction, and that crash swerved me, ironically, into a different direction of okay. Who are my people? I was up left with many people after that. What direction am I going in? Yeah.
Mitch Coleman:What am I doing to myself? And it it mainly take strong look at life and health and what it's worth and, yeah. Those that was the best day of my life as it it changed the the course of where I was heading. And since then, I've never really looked back. So, yeah, that was that was the start.
Mitch Coleman:And, obviously, when I come back from America, I was set on me traveling. I was like, I'm gonna travel the world. I'm not coming back. But I mean, you can see all of this stuff. I was like, no.
Mitch Coleman:And then back about 6 months, that was a plan and then go. Within that 6 months, I met my previous partner, and then I started, empty conditioning, and I was like, okay. I'll, I'll see where this goes. And I, in my mind, started up c conditioning because I wanted to be able to deliver the business anywhere old and and I might be anywhere. I could be anywhere because we'd be able to deliver this.
Mitch Coleman:It's, my mom actually came up with the the name, take your body into a new territory. And, yeah, the new territory kind of symbolizes all the different areas of the world that we wanna I wanna enter and explore. Also, you have to take your body to new places, and, yeah, we've shown over the years that's that's come to fruition. So, yeah, that's that's where it all started, and ironically, 1st Jan. It's starting to come to fruition, and I've put it up for since then, actually, since since the crash the crash with why?
Mitch Coleman:2016, 8 years ago, and I've put off the idea of traveling. I've come back from America. That was, where was that now? Yeah. 2018, maybe?
Mitch Coleman:No. Pow wafers are. Either way, I've put it up for a long time of going and traveling, and then last year of I was just set I was like, right. I'm gonna go traveling. We were gonna go traveling.
Mitch Coleman:Me and Seth Skate, We were like, right. Okay. Let's do it. And January 2024 so I'm meant to be traveling that right now. And because we just didn't didn't get things into place.
Mitch Coleman:Wasn't the right time, business wasn't even the right time. Financially, I just didn't get myself into the right position, didn't manage my money properly, and, yeah, it just wasn't possible. And that was really sad for me, because it's something that I've always wanted to do, but before I have kids and family settled down and have a proper proper adult life, it's something that I've always wanted to do, go and travel the world and see the world for for what it is, and we love going on holiday and traveling. We we find a new sense of flow when we do that. So what's that?
Mitch Coleman:No more like this is something for me that I need to do for myself because otherwise, I'm gonna live a life with regret, and that is the most fearful thing. And, yeah, 1st Jan in South Korea, but it's a one way flight to Tokyo, which will be going in September. And, yeah, that was that was an interesting powerful moment, and it's like, bro, whatever happens, we go in. We commit in. Because you had, like, 9 months is a long time, and, you know, what what could happen in in that time, but but whatever happens, we go in.
Mitch Coleman:So, yeah, this is, this is where MC conditioning is going. It's now going global, for those of you in person, and, obviously, the the plan is for, the value that you get now. My vision and my ultimate goal is for you to not receive less from me going traveling. If anything, I want you to be receiving more value. So we're putting here a lot of work to make sure that you're gonna be still getting the results that you want.
Mitch Coleman:Obviously, we're gonna work with you as well to make sure that the program is something that you see as still valuable, and it's a time where we're looking to evolve it, so I want this to be the best program in the world for health, fitness, wellness, travel, keep boxing, boxing, mindset, business, all the things that that I enjoy and I do, and I'd love it to be something for yourselves. And I always see the pathways where people come into the program, they get this amazing result. That's the first thing. You start to believe in yourself. That's stage 1.
Mitch Coleman:Stage 2 is when you start to master it, and you actually complete the results here. You start, you actually complete the the transformation, the, it's that identity change over there as first gear, And in stage 3 is that evolving you and connecting you to your purpose. I think the goal is for you to be able to coach yourself, because, yeah, it's never been about holding your hand here. I've never been a hold your hand kinda coach where, yeah, you come in, I do everything for you, I move the weights around for you, I push you through every set, I coach you for every flight. You have to do a lot of that yourself, because if I'm not there and there's times where I've been ill, away at a train event, and, yeah, everyone's in there, and they're self sufficient.
Mitch Coleman:Within the 1st 2 weeks, you come into the program and you're you're comfortable within the gym area. People go for years at the gym and and never actually step into the wider area because they're not comfortable, but everyone here now is on that pathway to becoming their own coach. Whether you want to do that literally and become a coach and create a career doing that, or whether that's just a figure of speech and you're you're your own coach and you can help other people, whether it's family members, partners, friends, someone else in the gym. Like, essentially, the goal is to become your own coach. Become your own coach and the inspiration, and you all will inspire me, and I wanna inspire you all to to really connect to your soul purpose, the purpose within your soul, and live a life that you love.
Mitch Coleman:So, yeah, there's a there's a lot that I wanna uncover. This podcast being one of them, and this is for you guys. And, yeah, me going away. Me going away isn't really me going away because there's a there's a massive benefit of being in this time that we live in. You can't really get away from anyone.
Mitch Coleman:You can't really get away from anyone. And my goal is to be almost your PT, which stands for personal therapist. Your PT in a pocket. PT in your pocket, where you just pull me out, and I'm there, and I'm gonna try. I'm going to be there a lot more in your face, where it's like, right?
Mitch Coleman:Okay. Cool. I need this. Cool. I can go to this section.
Mitch Coleman:Training wise, I need this. Cool. You can go to this section, need a bit of motivation today. Cool. Switch the podcast up.
Mitch Coleman:I need got a question around nutrition. Cool. We can even go to Mitchell. Candice will be involved. We can have our platform.
Mitch Coleman:I wanna do this within my career call. Let's let's jump on a call. Let's let's set up some accountability for you. The master class is gonna be firing. The, the one to ones will still have the programs evolving within itself, and I'm investing into putting together even better programs training wise, that look at fat loss quicker and muscle gain, or, building of the female the feminine body shape, or strength and conditioning.
Mitch Coleman:There's so much that we're looking to add, and essentially it's just around helping you become you and live a life that you love. So, yeah, I'm excited. It's time for you to get excited as well because we've been due a change, and change is here, and change is good. Change is good. Everything that's been good in your life would have involved a change.
Mitch Coleman:So, yeah, for this podcast, we are underway. And, I'll start to see where it goes. We're gonna get some guests on here. I'd love to get some of you on here as well, see if anyone would like to jump on and share your stories or have a conversation, then, yeah, just reach out. But, remember, any questions you have, don't suffer inside us because what you suppress, you will express in other ways.
Mitch Coleman:And if that's negativity, you will express it negatively in ways you don't need to do. So stay proud, people. Be you, and we'll catch you on the next one.
