Summary
Ryan Niddel is a motivator and host of 15 Minutes to Freedom podcast, an unfiltered daily dive into the life lessons and mistakes he made. Using his life experiences as an unfiltered guide, Ryan puts his experiences in perspective to help you expand your own life.
Topics on his podcast range from the importance of owning your truth, tapping into your own spirituality, and much more. The sole purpose of his show is to offer relatable guidance, provide information, and inspire you to re-align and take action!
In this episode, we talk about Niddel's experience with steroids and how he hid it when shooting so people wouldn't know, infections from steroids and the downside of getting off them, commitment issues and not being able to be alone, why judging things as negative experience is creating new trauma, how to set goals efficiently, the difference between a dream and a goal, and more.
Enjoy!
-Mike
