Summary
Which virtues does bodybuilding instill in those pursuing a better physique? Is it superficial, the exterior only? Or is there much more to the sport of bodybuilding, that transcends into all aspects of your life?
That's what I'd like to explore with you on today's episode- the virtues training hard for over 20 years has taught me and what it can teach you. Let's look under the surface, dig a little deeper and be grateful for the abundance of lessons in this sport.

| 0:46.7 | And, you know, this never-ending exploration of life is really what it looks like for me, right? |
| 0:54.5 | It's this childlike wonderment of what potentially exists in front of us. |

| 1:28.4 | After my last few weeks of introspection and exploration, both internally and externally, |
| 1:33.9 | I can give you more details on that as we go. |
| 1:36.7 | But I really want to bring to the attention of the world, of the fitness world in particular, or really anyone, the potential value that |
