In today's episode of the podcast, we are talking about how to build muscle, lose fat, and maintain the results for long periods of time.

I love seeing you guys make progress in your fitness, nutrition, diet, health and performance

journey.

I love it.

But what I love even more is when I see people make changes that are realistic, sustainable, and flexible that lasts a lifetime as opposed to a 30-day challenge that is too aggressive, unsustainable, and

unrealistic.

And in this episode I want to share the few concepts that work but also invite you to experiment with the many

methods that can work for you.

So right now I am rereading for the third time, Tim Grover's book titled Winning.

A huge fan of this book, and I highly recommend it.

I'm listening to it on my morning runs,

and it's getting me jacked up as I'm moving into a new phase, a new position

with BPN, which I will share here in the next couple weeks with you guys that I'm extremely excited and proud of.

But one of the quotes that I pulled from Tim Grover's book that I think is applicable to the message today and I want you to think about in the

background as I discuss some of these topics and it's all about the grind and if you've been following me for any amount of time you know that I am

not a huge fan of the word or the term the grind or even the hustle because I believe that it puts hard work on this

pedestal and hard work is glorified where hard work is, it is the foundation, it is the thing that works, it is a non-negotiable,

it is the standard.

And Tim Grover explains it perfectly. He says, everyone talks about the grind.

Well, you can grind and grind and grind. And what's left at the end? Dust. Grinding deforms. It obliterates.

Excellence is about sculpting. When you sculpt, you strategically remove parts you don't need, the elements that get in the way, it's the

equivalent of not just working hard, but working smart.
