The digital age
On being a life coach, social influencer and model in the digital age, he said, “I love it. I love helping people get healthier. A lot of people lose their way during the times, especially when COVID happened. I want to promote healthy solutions for people, to motivate them, and to bring positivity.”

“Right now, I am actually trying to create my own workouts so people can use them,” he said.
“I never thought I would ever be a social influencer,” he admitted. “I made one video on TikTok and it didn’t get any views. Then, I made one transitional video, and that’s when my account started going off. I just took it as a joke but then it just skyrocketed, so I starting using my platform to help motivate people,” he elaborated.
Best advice that he was ever given
On the best advice that he was ever given, he responded, “Never take anything for granted. Always stay grateful for whatever you get in life. I never take life for granted.”

Advice for people that wish to get into shape and fitness
For young people that want to get into shape and fitness, Whaley encouraged them to “not get too focused on young influencers.” “A lot of them don’t speak the truth and they don’t want to tell people,” he said.
“My advice is trust the process, stay calm and patient, and progress will come. It might take time but it will happen. Stay consistent; the progress is going to come.”
Favorite mottos to live by
His favorite mottos to live by include “the early bird gets the worm,” respect others, and treat others how you wish to be treated.
Reflecting over the last five years

Superpower of choice
If he were to have any superpower, it would be “to fly” since that would allow him to get anywhere he wants without having to worry about the traffic.
Success
Regarding his definition of the word success, Whaley said, “Success to me means just getting up every day, that is being successful. Striving to be better than you were the day before because each day you are growing as a person. Success is contentment and having peace of mind.”
