NLP687 - Don’t Let Opinions Crush You + ...

Next Level Coaching
About this episode

In this episode, Brad and Craig dive into two essential topics for anyone looking to level up their health, mindset, and lifestyle:

Dealing with Opinions & Online Noise

Craig shares his recent experience of a TikTok video going viral and the flood of comments—both supportive and critical—that came with it. The guys break down how to stop letting the opinions of strangers get in your head, why it’s key to remember most people don’t know you or your journey, and how to keep your confidence intact in a world full of noise.

The Calorie Bomb of Dining Out

Brad pulls back the curtain on how deceptively high in calories restaurant meals can be, sharing a real-life example from an Italian restaurant menu where the average entrée clocked in at 1,500+ calories. They unpack why dining out so easily derails progress, and why we often underestimate what’s actually on our plate.

Key Takeaways & Actionable Tips:

  • Why most comments online have more to do with the commenter than with you
  • How to block out negative opinions so you stay focused on your goals
  • The truth about restaurant calorie counts (they’re almost always higher than you think)
  • Simple strategies to enjoy dining out without blowing your calorie budget, including:
  • Pre-checking menus online
  • Asking for dressings and sauces on the side
  • Prioritizing protein-forward options
  • Splitting entrées or taking half home
  • And more
