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 am your host, Cody McBroom, and I'm a father, husband, and the founder and

CEO of tailored coaching method, the online fitness and nutrition coaching company, helping

average individuals all around the world achieve above average physiques and live above average

lives. Today, I am going to recap my half marathon. So if you're a regular listener, you may know a little

bit more about my goals and the different random challenges and fitness endeavors that I pursue.

If you're a new listener, you're going to hear a recap about the recent challenges I took on.

And for everybody, just know that this is going to be a

regular thing for me. I have, excuse me, another competition, a high rocks competition in February

of 2025, because ultimately I like to choose hard, right? Like I really, I really do believe in

living up to the brands that I create choose hard is one of them

it's a slogan that we have trademarked for a reason we believe in choosing volunteering like acting

by choice with hard decisions hard actions hard challenges and just hard things in general i think

you know the the the whole phrase do hard things. There's a really

good book called Do Hard Things, too. I actually have the author of that book on my podcast.

It's great. And I think doing hard things is wonderful. But I think there's a big difference between

choosing hard and doing hard. Choosing hard is by choice. It's volunteering to do hard things that are

going to cause growth. So you are intentionally

participating in things that are difficult because you value the growth. You value hardship.
