In Episode 20 of the Intrepid Golden Podcast, we break down two things that quietly dictate your results—mindset and intention.

It’s not about motivation.
It’s not about hype.
It’s about how you choose to show up.

We talk about:
•Why mindset is the lens you see the work through
•How intention gives direction to effort
•The difference between just “getting through it” and actually growing
•Why hard days, when approached correctly, are often the most productive

Whether you’re in the gym, at work, or navigating life outside of training, this episode is about showing up on purpose—with clarity, composure, and accountability.

You don’t need perfect conditions.
You need a clear intention.

Press play, set the tone, and do the work.
