I'm trying to get harder and tougher mentally and physically every day in my life.

You're either the growth mindset or you're the fixed mindset.

If you're trying to be the best, you need to look at who the best is and see what they do.

Relentless pursuit of progress.

There is a difference between the best and the rest and the rest.

Welcome to the Michael Kaz's podcast.

Champions are built in the morning first.

Where we interview scientists, world champions, doctors and experts,

in just about every area of health and fitness.

What do you care enough about?

What are you fascinated enough about to go so deep and learn so much

that you'll know more about it than anyone else.

And now here's your host, Michael Cashew. Hey and welcome back. This is Michael Kaz, and today I'm interviewing Asia Bartow.

Asia is a former professional baseball player, a multiple-time CrossFit Games athlete, and an entrepreneur. He's a gym owner.

Today, we talk about his mentor and coaching relationship with CJ Martin, one of the all-time

best coaches in the sport of CrossFit. We talk about his life growing up in baseball,

some of the things that he learned there, how we transitioned

into CrossFit and then into entrepreneurship. We also talk about some things like taking

a responsibility. He's got a family. He's got a lot of commitments on his plate and how he thinks

about taking responsibility not only for himself, but for all of his commitments

and how he maintains high standards for all of those. This one was a fun one. Really great to get to

know Asia and just to talk to such an authentic human being. So I hope you enjoy this episode.
