What's going on, everyone. Welcome to another episode of the fit, healthy, and most of all,

happy podcast. As always, I'm our coach and host Josh here with. His co-host and co-coach,

KG, and I'm in the house. And we just want to start off by saying Merry Christmas to you.

If you're listening to this on Christmas Day, you're a beast. We love the commitment. And I'm sure a lot of you are listening to this just after. But nonetheless, I love that you're still making time to learn about how you can improve, optimize, maximize, and be inspired by your fitness, health, and happiness this season. So thank you so much for tuning in with us today. really does mean a lot and i think even before we

get into our quotes me and kyle always go through a huge like conundrum at this time of year and we're

like should we upload it less people will be listening is it worth it and then we're like you know what

we're going to upload for those people that do listen those people that are separating themselves

this season that are still finding ways to just work on

their self-development. So shout out to you for listening to this episode. You are a real one. And we're going to make sure this episode is a banger. And we have so much to look forward to in the new year. But for now, let's just take it away with a killer episode. And as always, we like to start it off with a quote i'm going to start with mine because i think

it's very short but very powerful and this is from a book i read called as a man thinketh and this

thursday actually i'm going to be releasing an episode about 10 of the biggest lessons i've learned

from reading 52 books in one year and there's a lot of knowledge to be had in that episode so make sure

you set a reminder for Thursday to tune into that episode because it is going to be a killer.

But my quote from this book is man is made or unmade by himself. And I love this quote because

we're as you know really big into personal responsibility and ownership.

And a concept usually it's so easy to look at why things slipped and just blame everyone else,

blame traffic, blame bad genetics, whatever it may be.

But the truth is we can either make ourselves or we can break ourselves by our decisions,

our habits, our goals, our aspirations.

And this quote was just so simple but so punchy to me.

And I just love that idea of saying, how can I make myself better?

How can I improve?
