THE FYX 090: Want to Be Happier & Healthier? Be Selfish—Especially in the Morning feat. Michael Chernow

Michael Chernow is a Serial Entrepreneur, Restauranteur, Podcast Host and expert in the world of wellness, fitness and nutrition. Most recently, Michael founded and launched Kreatures of Habit, an in-your-face lifestyle and wellness brand, reimagining how you establish healthy habits in your life. After years in the restaurant business in NYC, he realized that his calling was to be of service in a more personal way, with the ability to impact more lives. Honoring his 17 years of sobriety by launching his newest venture, Michael’s goal with KOH was to create easily-accessible nutritional products that are rooted in adopting the positive habits that transformed his life, and allowed him to replace alcohol with the nutrition and fitness he needed. Michael launched Kreatures of Habit because he wanted to share his belief in habits through his personal story of change, how our habits determine whether we are going to be successful in our personal and professional lives, just get by, or worse, be miserable. He’s a firm believer that every time we replace a bad habit with a good one, big or small, the greater a chance we have to live our best lives. In this episode, Michael and Coach Krysta discuss: - Fear: how powerful it is, how great of an equalizer it is, and how much it drives the decisions we make--or don't make--in life - Finding freedom on the other side of fear - Using selfishness as a super power - The power of developing a morning routine--and detail Michael's own morning routine - Why Michael created Kreatures of Habit and why oatmeal has been such an important pillar of his morning routine - Habits and controlling the controllables - Understanding that we all have the ability to make the "right" decision relative to what our goals and desired outcomes are Want to try Kreatures of Habit for yourself?
