Happy New Year friends. This is Zach Evaness, your host of the Strong Life podcast. If you're new here,

welcome aboard where we talk about strength training and how to take lessons from the weight room,

from the gym, from strength training, wherever it is that you train and how to apply them to your life.

So you dominate not just in the gym or in your health and fitness, but also in life.

I'm a big believer, not just because it's, you know, something I want to believe,

but through experience that the mind drives the body.

And there's just certain factors, certain X factors that help somebody or kind of create somebody who is successful

in all fronts of life rather than just somebody who could lift a lot of weights, somebody who's

ripped, somebody who, you know, looks like a bodybuilder. And I picked up on these things, you know, many, many years ago, decades ago,

lessons learned from growing up in gyms.

And, of course, being a gym owner, started the underground strength gym business 2002.

And then 2007 opened up the first warehouse.

And so there were commonalities amongst those who were kicking ass and taking names

versus the commonalities on a negative side with those who were struggling in life.

So big thanks to everybody for listening.

Also hope everybody, of course, had a great new year.

And here we are. First week of the new year, you know, resolution time and people trying to make

change, but they don't really know how to achieve that change because they don't know how to

change their habits, creating a quit list versus, you know, I'm making a

to do list and they're just adding more things to their plate. So we're going to tackle those

things and more. And something I really want to focus on is a six-week transformation I'm doing.

It's not really a transformation. I really need to come up with a better word, but I'm not from the school of, you know, doing it. This has to be so perfect. Ready, aim, fire. Nope.
