Summary

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I take you behind the scenes of my annual return to the wrestling mat… A ritual that’s become one of the most important parts of my life! You’ll hear the entire journey leading up to this year’s tournament: the late-night practices, the 25-pound weight cut, the broken sauna, the two dislocated arms, and yes… the back-to-back bicep tears (both arms!). It’s crazy. It’s painful. And I’d do it all over again. Because this isn’t just about wrestling, it’s about doing the thing that makes you feel alive. Whether that’s building funnels, writing books, or chasing down a long-lost passion from your youth… This episode is a reminder to stop waiting, stop playing it safe, and start living. Key Highlights: Why I wrestle every year (and how it impacts every part of my life) The brutal (and hilarious) reality of cutting 25 pounds in 5 days What two torn biceps taught me about pain, purpose, and joy How I used mindset to show up in Hawaii as a better husband and dad — even while suffering in silence Why the risk of getting hurt shouldn’t stop you from doing the thing you love This one’s not about marketing. It’s about meaning! If you’ve ever felt stuck, bored, or burned out, this episode might just be the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed. https://sellingonline.com/podcast https://clickfunnels.com/podcast Special thanks to our sponsors: NordVPN: EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal https://nordvpn.com/secrets Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!
