Do you want to do big things?! Do you want to create opportunities for yourself that get you closer to where you want to be? Even if you don't know where you want to be EXACTLY.

Anders Varner, Host of Barbell Shrugged, and myself, explain our story of preparation. What exactly were we doing before all these great things happened?! What were the steps we took to get here? Why did these things happen to us? Why don't they happen to other people? What should you be doing more of to create more opportunities for yourself?!

This episode is an "all the feels" kind of episode that will get you inspired to want to work hard today. Think of Anders and I like your morning cup of coffee, and come hang out with us on this week's episode on carrying opportunity through massive amounts of preparation, NOT luck. This episode was filmed in the Mecca of podcasting, my couch in Orange County ;)
