Earn Your Good Day
by Zach Conati, Co-founder of Mutt Life , RD, LD, CPT, BCS, Ironman, IPE Pro
This podcast is about winning life one day at a time. We have a fundamental belief that people are stronger, more resilient, and far more capable of so much more than they believe or are told they are. If you're interested in creating a better life through your mind, body, and soul, this is the podcast for you. We give the honest hard truth about things we all know are true but find hard to admit. Then we walk through how to conquer those truths and become better versions of ourselves.
