Today I spoke with Dr. Matthew Hill, who faced the impossible before he understood what the word fully meant. Diagnosed with cancer as a child, he lost his leg and endured nine months of chemotherapy that nearly took his Life. What came after was its own battle — depression and alcoholism pulled him into a darkness he couldn't find the edges of. He was lost. Without purpose. Without direction. The return began on the road and the platform. Through endurance racing and powerlifting, Matt found what it means to build an Individual who can build the outcomes of which you dream. He has completed multiple Half Marathons, raised over $40,000 for children battling cancer, and squatted and deadlifted over 500 pounds on a prosthetic leg in powerlifting competition. Every rep, every mile, every dollar raised is a living proof of the message he now carries into the world. In 2023, Matthew founded Impossible Performance — not originally as a business, but as a direct transmission of everything his journey taught him. Because if he could build his body, his mind, his spirit, and his emotional foundation from the ruins of what cancer left behind, he knows with absolute certainty it can be done for anyone willing to do the work. "When Faced with The Impossible, Be Impossible, and you will Do The Impossible." We discussed03:07 The long form honesty test06:48 The diagnosis at eighteen11:52 Control versus suppression19:15 The father piece22:27 Empathy without the trump card29:34 Past inputs and outputs37:31 Optimizing for the wrong individual55:23 Two connections a day01:10:21 Inside the 500 pound squat01:21:09 Cancer is not an excuseFind MatthewWebsite - impossibleperformance.comInstagram - @impossible.performance YouTube - @ImpossiblePerformance__________Paul's singular goal is to raise the bar for coaching.

Today I sat down with Dr. Chad Burnham, founder and owner of ProForm Physical Therapy in Salisbury, Massachusetts, where he has spent the past decade helping active adults, athletes, and fitness enthusiasts recover from injuries, improve performance, and continue doing what they love. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and competitive Classic Physique bodybuilder, Chad has built his career on bridging rehabilitation, strength training, and long-term health. After becoming frustrated with the limitations of the traditional insurance-based healthcare model, Chad founded ProForm Physical Therapy with a mission to provide one-on-one, individualized care that puts patients first. Today, ProForm has become known for helping people not only recover from injury but also build resilience, improve performance, and reduce their risk of future setbacks.

His firsthand experience balancing high-level training, nutrition, injury management, and business ownership gives him a unique perspective on performance, recovery, and sustainable success. Whether he’s working with patients, mentoring clinicians, or speaking behind a microphone, Chad’s mission remains the same: to empower people with the knowledge and tools to move better, perform better, and live healthier, stronger lives. We discussed00:40 Performance PT Hybrid Model05:59 Leaving The Insurance Model08:46 COVID Forced The Decision15:56 Culture That Retains Staff19:05 Mentors Outside Your Industry25:59 Time Blocking Non-Negotiables34:16 The Spouse Conversation41:44 Personal Brand Feeds Business50:48 Fear As Fuel58:39 Focus On Your JourneyFind ChadWebsite - www.proformptma.com Personal IG - https://www.instagram.com/chad_burnham Business IG - https://www.instagram.com/proformptma __________Paul's singular goal is to raise the bar for coaching.
