Strong- The Iron Will Way- The Official Podcast Of The Iron Legion Strength Co.

A lot of talk about worthiness in society today. “We are all worthy” is a common theme. Worthy of love, freedom and happiness? Yes. Worthy of success, financial freedom, strength and health? Not so much. That depends upon how much work you are willing to put in.

As adults, we are often accountable to ourselves, particularly when it comes to our personal goals and our personal health and fitness. There is a huge problem that comes with that. Today we’ll discuss that.

New Year. New goals. Awesome. Butt here is one very important thanks that you must do in order to achieve your New Year. New you goals.

Why a 30 day version of 75 HARD won’t work.

The challenge is completed. What now? It’s hard for many of us to keep focus and motivation when we’ve attained our goal, when we’ve reached the summit. Here’s what I’m planning to do and also my newfound approach to nutrition that I would recommend to anyone who wants to follow 75 HARD and the one that is going to take me to the next level of reduced bodyfat and increased muscle mass. Check it out-

Finished. Crushed it. Answering some of your questions about it. Diet. Workouts. Etc.

Day 73 comes with some surprising realizations. Give it a listen.

We wait for other people to believe in our ideas. We want them to be as enthusiastic as we are. We are deflated when they aren’t. Stop doing that. Here’s why we don’t need that approval. We don’t need that support and more importantly, here is why we shouldn’t expect it.

My thoughts and feedback after 59 days of the 75 HARD mental toughness challenge.

The man in the arena is my favorite quote of all time. I mentioned it today in the podcast as we discussed how we often want to wait until we are the best or until we feel like we are “qualified” to do the thing. To enter the contest, to write the book, to start the business. We can’t understand how someone could be possibly be inspired by us if we aren’t the best or a world record holder. In my experience, I have found quite the contrary. Sometimes the most people I find the most inspirational people to be the ones who aren’t necessarily the “best” but the ones who have overcome the most challenging circumstances.

75 Hard. It’s a thing. It’s awesome. Everyone is doing it. Most people don’t complete it. Here’s why and here’s how to avoid that.

What does it really take to truly master something and to really be considered an expert? Is it necessary?

I was going to title this “It’s never too late” because that was something I said in the podcast. But in reality, there will come a day when it is too late to do that thing that you’ve always wanted to do. So do it now, before it is too late. (Note: Sound quality isn’t great on this one but the content was worth publishing.) Enjoy!

We avoid so many things because they are potentially uncomfortable. I’ve done this often. But avoiding things that are uncomfortable can severely limit us. Reminding myself of the phrase “Discomfort can’t hurt me” has helped me to push through many uncomfortable situations.

In the fighting arts there is an expression. “Don’t accept the position.” Let’s discuss how that can relate to life.

I’ve always admired strength and toughness. As a kid I always looked up to men who I viewed as tough and strong and wished I could be like them. Deep inside though I knew I wasn’t that tough or that strong yet. Could I one day develop that? That was always a question for me.

If you listened to Part One you won’t want to miss Part Two. More about overcoming extreme adversity with Kaleigh Leighton.

The NOT Born This Way project is about overcoming. Kaleigh has a story of overcoming that is hard to hear and I can only imagine how hard it is to tell, but it is an important one. This is Part 1 of 2. This is real sh*t.
