#68 Lifestyle Q&A, Use Anxiety to Fuel Your Path, Redefining Success

Overview:  Today, Smitty, OB, and Chris McGowan answer tons of unique listener questions in a rapid fire format.  They then move on to managing anxiety in your life, specifically when you feel that you don’t have any other options. Smitty discusses his struggles with anxiety and some of the eye opening moments in his life that forced a major change that directly led to his success. This leads into a discussion on when we finally felt like we were “successful” in the fitness industry. Lastly, we talk about the downside to calling things “bro science,” and how you can set yourself apart in life by finding the “good” in something rather than taking the easy way out by only seeing the things downsides. We cover this and much more in this episode, and we hope you enjoy!   Timestamps: [0:00] Jocko Fuel [1:20] Intro [4:57] Future of The Podcast [8:07] Listener Questions [8:21] Folder or a Scruncher @breakthroughsc [11:05] Best Artists to See Live @kirpallottey [15:04] Oatmeal vs. Chocolate Chip Cookies @mikenolike [16:28] 24 Hours to Live @jonahwilliams6610 [18:25] OB vs. Smitty in a Strongman Competition @lcscoach [22:59] What Would You Do Without Training  [26:52] Movie Friendships [28:34] Managing Anxiety @timreynolds10 [42:20] When Did We Feel We Were Finally Successful @davidskifitness [51:08] Top 3 Training Books [58:00] What Is Our Favorite Bro Science Fallacy @thecountofhoops     Get Ageless Athlete: https://agelessathletesc.com SPONSORS:   Jocko Fuel https://store.jockofuel.com/?ref=xgsWFwqMzvQtsD Code RONIN10   Get 15% off the NuRecover Portable Cold Plunge!: https://www.nurecover.com/discount/BRIAN23382   Get FREE LMNT with your first order!
