| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the tailored life podcast, the one and only fitness and nutrition |
| 0:10.4 | podcast that goes way beyond just training and nutrition. |
| 0:13.5 | It helps you create a life by design. |
| 0:16.1 | I'm your host Cody McBroom, and today we are definitely going beyond just training and nutrition. I'm very |
| 0:22.2 | excited about this episode. Today I have the author Steve Magnus, who just recently came out with a book |
| 0:26.9 | called Do Hard Things, Why We Get Resiliency Wrong in the Surprising Science of Real Toughness. |
| 0:34.0 | I'm very excited about this podcast because, one, it's a phenomenal book, but two, I think it's |
| 0:38.7 | a topic that needs to be discussed more in today's world. And as a fitness entrepreneur, |
| 0:44.6 | a father, a leader, I truly value hard work and the reward that comes with it. And the sensation |
| 0:51.8 | you get physically and psychologically from doing hard things. |
| 0:56.2 | And I think it's a very difficult thing to do, no pun intended, because when you step into doing |
| 1:03.4 | hard things, it is a big step to take. It's very difficult to take that first step. It's very |
| 1:09.0 | difficult to step into discomfort and out of your comfort zone. But when you do, you are so much more likely to be fulfilled and successful in life. And that's really what we dive into today. That's what this book is about. But it's also about discussing what doing hard things is really about. Like he said, developing real toughness and resiliency based on science. |
| 1:30.0 | And it's not this like macho rah-rah bravado that a lot of people get mistaken by. |
| 1:35.6 | There is a lot of science behind it. And I think it's actually more appealing than some people |
| 1:39.5 | will seem to believe in today's world. So the goal of this podcast is obviously to highlight his book, Do Hard Things, |
| 1:46.9 | and I think everybody should go grab a copy. |
| 1:48.7 | So there will be links to that in the description of this podcast. |
| 1:51.6 | But ultimately, my goal for this episode as well is for you to leave being more excited |
| 1:56.5 | about doing hard stuff in pushing yourself out of your comfort zone so that you can grow as an |
| 2:02.0 | individual and you can be more successful, more happy, and more fulfilled in your life. |
| 2:07.4 | So very, very excited. You are going to really enjoy this podcast. And I know if you enjoy this |
