We’re coming up on six months of My Fitness Ride - a podcast centered on learning and enhancing our mindset.

For me, these six months have definitely been a ride! The first few weeks were challenging on getting around the mindset of putting myself publicly in a podcast for people to consume and just listen to whatever I had to say, but as the episodes kept flowing, my fears kept shrinking and I overcame some of my greatest ones.

In today’s episode, I switched seats and put myself in the shoes of my guests. I asked Todd Gross Jr. - the CEO and founder of Breaking Glass Ceilings, and one of the first people I invited to this podcast - to come and interview me. It turned out to be great, and we touched on topics like setting boundaries, experiencing the fear of success, comparing ourselves to others, or having the illusion of control.

So, listen to Episode 22 of My Fitness Ride, and learn about ego, acceptance, isolation, pride, relationships, and success - because, in the end, we go through the same things, regardless of where we are in the world.

In this episode, you will learn:

• About comparison as one of the flavors of suffering. (02:55)
• About the fear of success and why most people have it. (04:32)
• Scarcity love versus abundant love – their meaning and their influence upon people. (07:55)
• The traps of social media. (15:55)
• About complacency – the good and the bad around it. (22:14)
• A simple thing you can do if you’re not satisfied with the position that you’re in right now. (25:12)
• About the boundaries that we create and the impact of not having them. (29:13)
• Why, in my opinion, isolation is one of the greater sufferings, and it’s often masked by the illusion of being in control. (37:01)
• About ego and pride. (38:56)
