Listen "225. Same Question, Different Answers: Opinion vs. Advice vs. Counsel"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Help Me Understand podcast, Coach JK McLeod shares his perspective on a distinction that can shape the way people approach their fitness, nutrition, and personal development journeys: the difference between opinion, advice, and counsel. With so much conflicting information floating around (especially on social media), it’s easy to mistake noise for guidance...but knowing what kind of answer you're actually seeking can change everything.Coach JK shares his personal framework for understanding each type of input, why most people unknowingly seek one when they actually need another, and how this disconnect can keep them spinning their wheels. He also walks through how he would respond to a common fitness question: “How can I lose body fat?” from three different angles: once as opinion, once as advice, and once as true counsel. The differences are clear, and the message is simple: real results require clarity, context, and conversation.This episode is for anyone tired of quick takes, one-size-fits-all answers, and plans that don’t stick. It’s a reminder that lasting change starts with asking better questions, and knowing the difference between someone speaking from personal preference and someone offering thoughtful, responsible guidanceWant free weekly workouts and behind-the-scenes programming notes from Coach JK?
