The idea that there are so many experts out there is mind boggling. All you have to do is scroll through instagram and you will find hundreds if not thousands of “experts”.

You asked, we answered in our first round of questions and answer segments. Keep the questions coming.

Breathing is critical to your life. The athlete that controls their breathing in workouts is usually the athlete that performs the best. Joe Rogan once said that You can always tell who is losing a fight by who is breathing through their mouth.

In your workouts, take two deep breaths and make it a quality rep worth your efforts.

What if seeking out comfort is holding you back in life? What if seeking out these comforts is preventing you from growing as a person? Avoid this velvet rut mentality and seek out challenges to help you grow.

You could leave this earth right now. What are you doing in this moment to impact your world? What are you doing today that could impact your life for the better? Stop waiting for something to happen and go out there and get what you are after.

Today we talk about the word failure. Maybe you didn’t achieve a goal you set out for? Maybe you didn’t get that job you wanted? It’s only a failure if you didn’t learn from it.
