Summary
What kind of person do you want to be?
Do you want to be the person who always seems to be in great shape no matter what?
Do you want to shred on guitar and unleash a face-melting solo?
Do you want to be creative and just sketch or doodle, even if it's just for a few minutes a day?
Or do you want to be the person who wakes up and immediately jumps on their phone for a quick hit of drama-induced dopamine?
By asking ourselves a few key questions in getting to what actually fuels our passion, we can set up systems in our lives to become the people we aspire to be.
It takes discipline and a bit of time, but when you take the reins of your own life, magical things can happen.
So today, I'm thrilled to say that we're here with our friend, Brock Armstrong, a Cognitive Behavior Therapy Practitioner, writer, podcaster, Marathon and Triathlon Coach, and founder of Brock Armstrong Coaching, where he's used a functional approach to fitness and movement to personally coach hundreds of people across the finish line.
Brock has worked with many familiar faces in the health and fitness world, including Mark Sisson, Dave Asprey and Ben Greenfield, to name a few.
And fun little fact: Years ago, back around 2015, Brock was actually the audio and video editor for the Fat-Burning Man show (and he even introduced us to our current audio and video engineer, Ian).
Brock is very talented and a super nice dude, I think you're going to dig this show. We're chatting about:
• How to replace habits that aren't serving us anymore • Key insights from helping hundreds of people train for races • A simple method for finding what makes you tick • How to harness the power of your own curiosity and excitement • Why a song Brock wrote in 1994 as a goof still plays in hockey stadiums around Canada • And tons more…
