Bo understands the weight-loss struggle because he has lived close to it for years. After working in the bariatric industry for 11 years and meeting, supporting, and coaching more than 10,000 gastric bypass patients, Bo has seen firsthand the emotional toll obesity can take on a person’s identity, confidence, dignity, and daily life. As a coach, Bo has developed a practical approach that combines daily reset work, cognitive behavioral modification, and small micro-actions that build into lasting wins. Through his flagship programs, Begin Purpose™ and Body Mass Identity™, he helps people move from feeling stuck to taking real daily action that is aligned with identity, purpose, and personal dignity. His message is simple: You are worth more than your weight in gold. No matter where you are in your journey, you can begin again, rebuild your body mass identity, and take the next step toward freedom, purpose, and a life that feels like your own. Two years ago, I started at 466 lbs. Today, I’m 366 lbs. That’s 100 pounds gone. I still have 67 lbs to go before I treat myself to a vacation, but today I’m celebrating the win. My plan has been simple: I don’t buy it, so I can’t eat it. The real victory is one small win at a time — one meal, one choice, one day. For me, this changed when I began to understand my Body Mass Identity — the story, habits, environment, and identity patterns connected to my weight. I’m not done, but I’ve learned how to keep going, and I finally feel free again. If you feel stuck in your own journey, message me RESET. I’m opening a few spots for a 30-day Identity Reset Coaching Sprint. http://beginpurpose.com http://http:bodymassidentity.com https://amzn.to/44fjjMh [My Book Store]

There's this thing that happens when you finally start talking about your purpose out loud — even just to one person. Suddenly it feels more real. More possible. Sometimes a little scary. But here's what I've noticed: the people who actually build something meaningful aren't the ones who had it all figured out from the start. They're the ones who were willing to say it out loud before they were ready. Who let someone ask them hard questions. Who got uncomfortable in community. If you've been sitting with a calling or an idea that won't leave you alone, but you've been waiting for the "right time" or the perfect clarity — I'm curious about something. What would it feel like to just name it? Not to your inner critic, but to someone who gets it. What's one small conversation you could have this week that might move you forward?

It's been sort of quiet here lately. I've been posting but I haven't heard from many of you? How are you guys doing? Does anyone need or have a GOOD win story? I always like those...

Today is a good day to be yourself and just be.

What if the thing you're "supposed" to be doing isn't actually calling to you anymore? A lot of us were told to pick a path early — a career, a skill, a way of life — and we've been white-knuckling it ever since. But sometimes purpose shifts. Sometimes what lit you up at 25 doesn't light you up at 35. And that's not failure. That's growth. The tricky part? Giving yourself permission to pivot without feeling like you're starting from zero. What's one area of your life where you've been doing something "right" but it doesn't feel true anymore? And what would it take for you to trust that change instead of resist it?
