Welcome back to another episode of Arnold's Pump Club.

Today, we're going to talk about grit and resilience

until my documentary came out. Many people didn't know how long I had to wait

to get my break in Hollywood. I wasn't willing to take any role.

It was a big struggle. But I put my energy into becoming a better actor

and making money through real estate. And when the right opportunity came,

that's when I took advantage. Many people wonder if there's a formula

for becoming more resilient. And today, you'll learn more about

what it takes to overcome bumps in the road. I'll also share new research

about a behavior that could be disrupting your metabolism.

So let's get to today's episode. When tough times hit,

you might wonder if it's better to fight through the storm

Rugged flexibility is a concept explored in great detail

by author Brad Stulberg in the book, Master of Change.

The combination results in anti-fragility that will help you

thrive in the most challenging situations.
