The greatest things in life all start with a challenge.

You must accept that everything is hard before it gets easy.

Everything you want in life begins with a hard path.

Welcome to the Choose Hard Podcast.

I'm your host, Cody McBroom, the founder of tailored coaching method.

And I'm excited to have you here today because you are about to get better. This is the first podcast I've recorded in
