I have noticed that stress, discomfort and pain have all led to the exact same thing. If used correctly they do something to us that I think nothing else can. In this episode I explain how I use these things to do something specific.

This past week we had Navid Moosa on the show. Navid is currently training for a bodybuilding contest and shared with us his thoughts about both the mental and physical side of training.

As we kickoff 2024 I reflect on all the people I have had the honor to work with. As I learned more about human behavior and the way we operate, I noticed something in the majority of the people I met and learned from. In this podcast I explain what that thing is and how we are all much similar than we may think.

As 2023 comes to an end we look forward to 2024. There are probably some things you want in 2024. Maybe a better body, more intimate relationship or more money.

They don't believe the same thing I believe... Who cares? They don't post the same things I post... Who cares? Their friend's aren't like my friends... Who cares? If it's not affecting us, why do we care? Why do we judge others and give them our energy and attention when it has nothing to do with us? Or...does it have everything to do with us? Hmmm

Our greatest enemy is not pain, discomfort and fear. Our greatest enemy is comfort, safety and complacency. We will only change when the pain becomes greater by remaining the same.
