Ep 108 The OG's of the Internet ft. Lee Hayward & Mike Westerdal

Send us Fan MailPioneers, Adversaries and now Friends… Founder of CriticalBench, Mike Westerdal, and Founder of Total Fitness Bodybuilding, Lee Hayward, share their beginnings on the internet for over 2 decades! The internet age has seen a lot of changes since the late 90’s (and that’s an understatement!) Mike and Lee have been along for the ride ever since, navigating through challenges, the many failures and of course the triumphs. Early on they viewed themselves as direct competition and watched what the other was doing from a distance. But everything changed about 10 years ago when they had a major breakthrough and found out the REAL KEY to business growth and long term success!   "We did take that leap of faith, joining that group I think was the major turning point for me and this business." -Mike Westerdal "I've never seen anybody succeed in a poor environment, I don't think it's possible, regardless of how motivated you are." -Lee Hayward   Time Stamps 0:25 – Meet Total Fitness Bodybuilding’s Lee Hayward 3:59 – Lee Hayward recounts early days of ‘Total Fitness Bodybuilding’ 10:05 – The power of perseverance and grit 13:03 – Why having a coach/mentor is vital to your success 17:24 – Lee Hayward reveals how Arnold Schwarzenegger inspired him to get fit 21:46 – How to burn fat and build muscle at the same time 27:00 – Importance of healthy eating habits 31:16 – Why movement is essential for good health 38:26 – Lee Hayward on his YouTube’s ‘Next Trainer Program’ experience 41:47 – Understanding the business life cycle 48:10 – The value of learning from others 56:26 – The power of humility 59:45 – The importance of having a relationship with God 1:09:20 – What it means to surrender to God 1:14:53 – Why it’s healthy to cut people out of your life 1:24:45 – Get in touch with Lee Hayward   Connect w/ Mike: Facebook Instagram   Connect w/ Lee: Facebook Instagram YouTube   Connect w/ CriticalBench:  Youtube Facebook Instagram CriticalBench.com StrongByDesignPodcast.com Support the showConnect w/ Critical Bench: YoutubeFacebookInstagramCriticalBench.comCriticalNutritionLabs.comStrongByDesignPodcast.com
