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

Episode 276- The Serenity Prayer

I’ve always loved this prayer and now more than ever it seems appropriate.

Episode 275- The dichotomy of the fat dog.

Have you ever seen someone with a dog that’s a little, let’s say, “overfed”? You know what I mean. The dog that spends too much time on the couch and has a few too many leftovers from the dinner table? What do you think when you think about that dog’s owner and how her or she is treating that dog? Are they showing it too much love or not enough love?

Episode 274. The incredible difficulty and power in asking for help.

We hate to do it, yet it is so incredibly powerful. The huge upside to putting our egos and fears aside and asking for help.

Episode 273: Life lessons from a 9 year old.

We can learn a lot from the little humans around us. In this episode we’ll discuss something that we have likely all been guilty of.

Episode 272- This one’s personal.

Why I didn’t touch a weight for 3 weeks, the “50 more” program and what habit I have had to eliminate.

Episode 271- "If it's meant to be it's meant to be." Hmnnn... really?

A well-meaning expression, but one that I think can have the wrong effect on many people.

Episode 270- Becoming bulletproof.

Fear is driving the majority of the decisions that people are making these days. In the face of uncertainty and fear, it’s important to make smart and strategic decisions, not just fear-based decisions. Now, more than ever, it’s about becoming bulletproof against all the things that threaten to destroy your health, your livelihood and even your way of life.

Episode 269- Stepping up to the plate.

When the opportunity presents itself will you step up? Will you be ready?

Episode 268- "Realistic" goals.

“Realistic” is a four letter word in the goal setting space. Shouldn’t goals be out of reach? Something to shoot for? Absolutely. But they also must be in the realm of possibility or you will completely lose your mojo once you realize you have set a goal that may be unattainable.

Episode 267- Special guest Coach Julian Despres. “What was once a hobby gave me a life.”

Today I took Coach Julian for a ride in the Jeep and we talked about his introduction to strength as a kid in a local barn (freaking awesome) and his thoughts on all things strength. This is a must listen!
