NOT born this way - The official podcast of the Iron Legion Strength Co. and NOT Born This Way brand apparel.

Episode 286- One day it will be too late.

I was going to title this “It’s never too late” because that was something I said in the podcast. But in reality, there will come a day when it is too late to do that thing that you’ve always wanted to do. So do it now, before it is too late. (Note: Sound quality isn’t great on this one but the content was worth publishing.) Enjoy!

Episode 285- Discomfort can’t hurt me.

We avoid so many things because they are potentially uncomfortable. I’ve done this often. But avoiding things that are uncomfortable can severely limit us. Reminding myself of the phrase “Discomfort can’t hurt me” has helped me to push through many uncomfortable situations.

Episode 284- Don’t accept the position.

In the fighting arts there is an expression. “Don’t accept the position.” Let’s discuss how that can relate to life.

Episode 283-Toughness. Can it be developed?

I’ve always admired strength and toughness. As a kid I always looked up to men who I viewed as tough and strong and wished I could be like them. Deep inside though I knew I wasn’t that tough or that strong yet. Could I one day develop that? That was always a question for me.
