Lean and Lethal Podcast

After running 377 miles across Arizona and raising over $15k to donate to families battling cancer I learned a lot about myself and what we are truly capable of. There was so much that came out of this project that it was hard to put it into words and fit it in one episode. In this episode I breakdown 5 tactical takeaways from the run that can be applied to any challenging situation or trial you are going through. This proved that when you have the right mental frameworks and control your focus you can accomplish more that most people ever even deem as possible and have an impact beyond what you could imagine. Grateful for the opportunity to do this and the support from all of those who showed up along the way to help and those who donated to the mission. All glory to God.

Justin Bindel has worn a lot of hats: pastor, church planter, CrossFit gym owner, real estate professional, rancher, dad of three and a husband. But underneath all of it is one framework he keeps coming back to: the 5 F's. Faith. Family. Fitness. Formation. Finance. Get the order wrong, and you end up rich in one area and bankrupt in the ones that actually matter.In this conversation, Justin breaks down what he learned watching his mom get diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's three months before COVID hit, why he walked away from leading a church in Salt Lake City to move his family back to Texas, and the question John Eldredge says every man is quietly asking himself: Do I have what it takes?We get into:The 5 F's framework and why finance is dead last on purposeWhy most men live with "under the sun" mentality and what changes when you don'tThe misogi: doing one thing a year with a 50% failure rate (without dying)Extended adolescence, and why Justin has his 12 and 14-year-old sons buying their own cattleThe "underwear water" passage from Jeremiah that reframes how we chase satisfactionWhy he hosts a goal summit with his wife every October and how to actually run oneThe difference between what your head knows and what your heart believesIf you're a guy who looks like he's got it together on the outside but feels like he's faking it underneath, this one's for you.
