In this episode of the Tom the Trainer Fitness Podcast, I sit down with fellow coach and father Michael LaViolette for a raw and insightful conversation on balancing fitness, family, and business.

With a toddler, a newborn, and a growing coaching practice, Michael shares how he’s continuously adapted his routines, from late-night workouts to shifting training volume, while still staying on top of his goals.

This episode dives into the real-world application of behavior change, why overhauling everything at once leads to burnout, and how sustainable transformation requires flexibility, structure, and letting go of ego.

Michael and I also explore hustle culture, the sleep myth among high achievers, and why seeking help (especially for men) is a game-changer in both fitness and life

.

Whether you’re a career-driven dad, an ambitious professional, or just someone trying to juggle it all without losing your health, this episode is packed with practical wisdom, powerful mindset shifts, and a reminder that the key to long-term success is learning to evolve.
