Summary
What type of father did you have growing up? How does it affect you as the man you are today? If you had a great dad, you'll want to follow in his footsteps. But what if your dad didn't give you what you needed? Will you fall into the same pattern or choose to change it?
Today's dynamic guest is podcaster and founder of Boom Boom Performance, Cody McBroom. His dad was a workaholic who rarely spent time with the family, and Cody thought this meant his father didn't care. Whenever anything went wrong in Cody's life he would blame his dad.
As Cody got older, he began to notice that this grudge held him back in life. This inspired him to embark on a journey of self-improvement to reframe his life and transform his mindset.
Cody McBroom is now a successful, thriving entrepreneur and demonstrates the power of letting go of resentment toward your father or anyone else in your life.
He also shares his no-nonsense fitness and nutrition tips so you can build a foundation of health that will empower you to become your best self.
