Hey, what's going on guys? Welcome back to the Jeremy Scott Fitness podcast from a new show.

Coming to you with a rewind episode, kind of a spin off of our Life is Hard podcast, which you also have, obviously, the YouTube video.

It's a blog on our site and actually a full detailed chapter in the book, Make Success Mandatory.

And what I'm going to touch on here is you guys not taking the easy way out today and understanding

labor. You know, we reap what we sow, right? So it's like you guys planting the seeds today

wanting the tree to grow, you know, overnight. That's not how things work.

And to lay down specifics, not starting your side hustle, not, you know, really pursuing your

passion project, not, you know, trying to go for that job that you really want to do that's
