163. Arnold Classic Recap, Weightlifting meet tips
This week, Dana and I broke down all things Arnold Classic. It was her first time competing at a national meet, so she was able to provide some insight on the differences between local meets and AO1. With over 1,900 lifters competing, there was every level of athlete. First timers to Olympians. On the episode, we dove into everything from the weigh in process, warm-ups, and of course the 6 lifts on the platform. Being on a national platform is a lot different than your local meet at a CrossFit gym. When you are in new environments that are stressful, one of the most important things you can do is to keep your routine as normal as possible. The meet isn’t the time to try new foods or a different warm-up you saw on Instagram. This was a big meet for me as well because I finally got the motivation back that I’ve been missing the last couple months. Even when you don’t hit the total you want, you can still learn a lot from each meet. Whether you’ve done a bunch of meets or your first one is coming up, I hope you’re able to take something away from this one and crush some weights out on the platform. Follow Me on Instagram

83. Self-Discipline and cold showers
Today, we're diving into our quote of the week. This one is by Abraham Lincoln. "Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most." Having discipline is about understanding this equation. You may not see benefits of what you're doing right now. But, that doesn't mean you shouldn't do the hard things. A cold shower is something I do each day to battle my own self-discipline deamons. Even though it usually only lasts a few minutes, my brain gives me every excuse why not to get in that water. Here's why I don't listen.

75. Stop counting and 10,000 kicks
This week, I'm diving into why you should stop checking the scoreboard. When you get started, it's easy to get lost in how many followers you have or how many downloads your podcast gets. But when that number is low, a lot of people give up. I give my take on how much you should be paying attention to the external factors. We also cover the quote of the week from the legend Bruce Lee.

72. Acting your way to success
What are the people in the top of your field doing that you aren't? When you set a goal, you need to look at what actions you need to take to get there first. I am always looking at what high level podcasters are doing, then implementing things that I like into my practice. I'm not saying to copy the most successful person at your job's exact routines, but take a look at what they do. Do they make 10 more sales call than you? Do they workout twice as much as you? The good part is that every day is an opportunity to be better than yesterday. If you didn't do it today, tomorrow is a new opportunity!

69. Running towards fear
What scares you? Seriously, answer that question. We all have that thing that we want to do, but we're afraid of something. When I started a YouTube channel, I was terrified that people were going to make fun of me, no one would watch, and seeing myself be awkward on camera. Only two of those things came true. But when you run towards fear, some magic starts happening in your life.

48. It's all in your head by Russ
For May's book of the month, we are covering "It's All in Your Head" by Russ. I highly recommend this one for anyone following a creative path. He teaches us three stages of the journey (Delusion, persistence, and gratitude). Anyone who has chosen to bet on themselves is someone who has my respect. The ability to ignore what other's think and go all in on yourself is something that takes guts. If you want to find yours, pick this one up on Amazon!

12. Progess in Never Linear
On this episode, I go into progress and how it's shown up in my life. Over the last year and a half, I've taken up weightlifting full time. It's a sport with so many ups and downs that a lot of people quit within a relatively short time. I dive into how to deal with the highs and lows in weightlifting and in life. As I try to make it as a creator, I understand these plateaus and have to push past them. I mentioned a few books and how reading hasn't taught me the true lessons until I've actually experienced things myself. Hope you guys enjoy.
