The Triumphs of Young Men Come from Challenges not Coddling

Hello my Get Uncomfortable compadre!

If you're new to the show, welcome! I hope you enjoy the show today surround cultivating more confidence in your day to day life.

If you do find value in the show, learn something, get inspired, or laugh I ask that you leave us a rating and review. 

When I was growing up I was bullied for many years, almost daily. It was a harrowing experience that helped shape me into the man I am today, and I wouldn't change a thing about it.

It drove me to find the thing I still use to this day as solace from the chaos of life, the weight room.

Once I found the weights I realized I could actually overcome the shit in my way. Lifting the weights, challenging myself to keep showing up, and fucking doing the work showed me what growth was.

 I gained confidence to stand up for myself, I understood discipline and commitment in a real way.

The simple act of taking my training seriously led me to develop new friendships, ask for what I want in life, and have the persistence to get it.

My hope is that all young men who are lost or confused or bullied, get the opportunity to be challenged physically to understand the mental benefits that come along with overcoming the challenge.

For me it was the weight room and getting stronger. Building muscle and physical capability will work wonders for a young man full of doubt and fear.

The skill of persistence is one that can be applied for the rest of their lives.
