  • How Michael actually applies it with his own coaching clients (not just theory from a textbook).
  • The most common mistake that derails progress on this exact topic, and how to avoid it.
  • How it connects to the bigger Get Up Earlier system: strength, running, nutrition, and accountability coaching built specifically for adults 40+.
