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

Episode 289- The man in the arena.

The man in the arena is my favorite quote of all time. I mentioned it today in the podcast as we discussed how we often want to wait until we are the best or until we feel like we are “qualified” to do the thing. To enter the contest, to write the book, to start the business. We can’t understand how someone could be possibly be inspired by us if we aren’t the best or a world record holder. In my experience, I have found quite the contrary. Sometimes the most people I find the most inspirational people to be the ones who aren’t necessarily the “best” but the ones who have overcome the most challenging circumstances.

Episode 288- 75 Hard. Why most people don‘t finish it.

75 Hard. It’s a thing. It’s awesome. Everyone is doing it. Most people don’t complete it. Here’s why and here’s how to avoid that.

Episode 287- Expertise and mastery- What it really takes.

What does it really take to truly master something and to really be considered an expert? Is it necessary?

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.

Episode 282- Forged in fucking fire. Part 2 with Kaleigh.

If you listened to Part One you won’t want to miss Part Two. More about overcoming extreme adversity with Kaleigh Leighton.

Episode 281- Overcoming unspeakable adversity- with Kaleigh

The NOT Born This Way project is about overcoming. Kaleigh has a story of overcoming that is hard to hear and I can only imagine how hard it is to tell, but it is an important one. This is Part 1 of 2. This is real sh*t.
