#183 - Leveraging Your Personal Story - Joel Staley

Today I sat down with Joel Staley, Owner of Total Reset Coaching. He helps business owners, executives, and leaders uncover hidden gaps in their energy, focus, and performance so they can lead their teams, families, and lives at the highest level. Over the years, he’s worked with over 2,000 high-performing men who are already successful on paper, but still feel drained, distracted, or stuck in routines that quietly limit their influence, stamina, and results. His clients don’t just improve their health and fitness, they unlock a new version of themselves: sharper, more disciplined, more commanding, and more capable of handling the pressures of high performance. 

Joel is a pro-physique competitor, author, podcaster, and business owner, and has personally faced challenges that would test anyone’s energy and focus, including surviving late-stage cancer, while still raising a family and running a successful business. Because of this, he coaches from experience, not theory, and knows what it takes to optimize every area of life under real-world pressure. His approach combines evidence-based routines, mental performance strategies, and subtle identity shifts that create lasting change without burnout, gimmicks, or extreme measures. He has seen firsthand how a small set of adjustments, guided by a fresh perspective, can create massive breakthroughs in energy, focus, and leadership.
