This week we’re diving into the importance of language and the power of commitment. Tarik invited me to join him on his podcast to discuss my experience with the 75 Hard Challenge and how I committed to executing it without turning back. We talked about the initial doubts and difficult moments, and how the structured routine can actually improve your personal and professional life.

Tarik highlighted the idea that these challenging moments are actually opportunities for growth rather than dark places. I compared that to David Goggins' book, "Never Finished," where Goggins speaks about turning dark places into opportunities and discovering the light at the end of the tunnel. We both agreed that embracing this is the secret sauce for self-improvement and personal growth. But we also had to acknowledge that the journey wasn't always easy, thinking back to the late-night freezing outdoor workouts in pouring rain.

This was a great reminder that embracing life’s challenges and committing to consistent growth can lead to huge results in our lives. So remember, the journey to success begins with taking that first step, so stay inspired, stay determined, and as always…enjoy your first sip!

This week we sat down with someone that’s ready to hit the streets, and do the dirty work just like Bruce Wayne did in Gotham City. Our guest this week is Jeff Brown, who is running for Mayor of Philadelphia. We talked about his experience as a business owner, his work with the youth, and what he’s looking to accomplish if he gets the opportunity to be the next Mayor. This was a great conversation, so grab your cup, and as always…enjoy your first sip!

“Jeff Brown is the founder and previously served as Chairman, and CEO of Brown’s Super Stores, Inc., a twelve-store supermarket chain trading under the ShopRite and The Fresh Grocer supermarket brands.”

“Jeff is a fourth-generation grocer, and with the addition of his son Josh as the Chief Financial Officer for Brown’s Super Stores, the Brown family has begun its fifth generation as grocers in the Philadelphia region. Over its 35-year history, Brown’s Super Stores have employed more than 60,000 people, often providing individuals with their first work experience.” - via jeffbrownformayor.com
