Nate Green — Calming The Mind, Balancing Ambition With Contentment, & Defining Success | MTFP Ep.100

To celebrate the 100th episode of the podcast, I wanted to make it special. And I couldn't think of anyone else besides Nate Green to fill that role. Nate and his work has, without a doubt, inspired me more than anyone else to create the content that I do, so it was a pleasure to have him on to catch up and preach some wisdom for you guys. For those that don't know, Nate is an author, contributor to Men’s Health magazine, and a “marketing and ideas guy” at Precision Nutrition. Interestingly enough, he reveals one more (amazing) title to this list during the middle of this episode. I'm stoked to share this conversation and I really think you guys are going to love it. Cheers to 100 episodes, my friends! In this chat, we cover (in order): -Why Nate is referred to as the "Banksy of Fitness" -He reveals that he's leaving Precision Nutrition and where he's working next (Sam Harris fans: get excited) -Nate's background and why he felt he had "no choice" but to get into fitness -Getting mentored by Lou Schuler, starting a blog, and opening a gym (with no idea how to do it) -How it felt to be published in magazines, work with Tim Ferriss, and get a book deal at such an early age -Why he felt obsessed with "making it" when he was younger and if he thought it was necessary -Why he decided to work internally, as opposed to searching for happiness through more power, fame, money, etc. -The moment in his life where he asked "what's the point?" and allowed himself to relax -His advice on how to balance ambition and contentment -Different definitions for "success" -How do you hold yourself to a high standard without being too hard on yourself -Dealing with negative emotions -His goals and intentions for 2021 -His action steps for a more peaceful experience -Working out without music or podcasts -And more!
