Adam Schafer — The Chemistry of Mind Pump, Delaying Gratification, & Becoming A Father | MTFP Ep.124

This was one of my favorite podcasts I've done in a long time. It's probably not a surprise that it's with someone who hosts one of the biggest podcasts in the world, but that doesn't take away the richness of this convo. I look up to Adam in many ways, so it was fun to ask some selfish questions that actually turned into really valuable—and sometimes emotional—lessons for myself and the listeners. For the 3 people who don't know, Adam is one of the three hosts of Mind Pump, which is a raw, entertaining, and no BS podcast on reaching your health and fitness goals. It gets lots of downloads. It's hilarious. And you should definitely check it out (after you listen to this). In this episode, we cover: -How Adam introduces himself to strangers -If he's still having fun after doing 1,600+ podcast episodes -How they decide which topics to discuss on Mind Pump -Why they poured money back into the business instead of "buying lambos" -Why they discuss things outside of fitness -How Sal and Adam balance each other out -How they work as a cohesive team at Mind Pump -How he's been enjoying fatherhood (around the 30 min mark) -His planning that went into becoming a father -When he felt he was "ready" to be a dad -The hardest time in his relationship with his wife -The perks of being an older dad vs younger dad -I get emotional discussing kids -Future plans -And much more!
