• Q&A: From Lost to Locked In (My Story, Fitness & Business) | RyanRQDX
    Apr 15 2026

    This week’s episode is a solo Q&A — no guest, just me. I wanted to take a step back, answer your questions, and share more about my journey, from feeling completely lost to finally getting locked in.

    We cover everything from fitness and fat loss to business, burnout, and what it actually took for me to get to where I am now.

    🔥 In this episode, I talk about:

    What I’d tell my 16-year-old self

    Why I left the commercial gym floor

    The real truth about fat loss (and why people overcomplicate it)

    The difference between a coach vs a PT

    Dealing with burnout, ADHD & staying productive]

    The biggest mistakes people make in the gym

    Building my own studio & what I’ve learned so far

    My goals moving forward (fitness, business & life)

    How I deal with low views & social media growth

    Why I started the Flex Appeal Podcast

    This one’s more raw and unfiltered — just me talking, reflecting, and hopefully giving you something you can take away and apply to your own journey.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck, unsure, or like you’re not where you should be yet… this one’s for you.

    Apr 8 2026

    In this episode of Flex Appeal, I sit down with Claire to talk about what fitness really looks like in the real world — not the version you see on social media.

    From going from “not sporty at all” to training for a triathlon, Claire shares her journey as a single mum balancing fitness, work, and life — and why the goal isn’t just weight loss, but being able to actually live your life.

    We dive into:

    Why most people train like bodybuilders (and why that might be holding you back)The pressure of social media and unrealistic fitness standardsFinding a style of training that actually fits your lifestyleThe importance of long-term health over short-term resultsBalancing fitness with real responsibilities like work, parenting, and recoveryWhy enjoyment is the key to staying consistent

    This is a real conversation about fitness without the filters — no extremes, no gimmicks, just honest insight into what it actually takes to build a sustainable, healthy lifestyle.

  • The Truth About Scaling a Business | AliceVioletCreative
    Apr 1 2026

    What does it really take to go from freelancer to business owner?

    In this episode of The FLEX APPEAL Podcast, I sit down with Alice — founder of a marketing agency working in tech and cybersecurity — to break down the realities of self-employment, scaling a business, and building something bigger than yourself.

    We dive into the truth behind “more freedom”, the hidden costs of running a business, and why scaling often means more work before it means more money.

    If you’re self-employed, thinking about starting a business, or trying to grow one — this is the conversation most people don’t have.
