## Resource

Host Don Saladino is joined by the guys from the Mind Pump podcast (Sal DiStefano, Adam Schafer, and Justin Andrews). Moving beyond sets and reps, they explore the stuff behind the show: growth, identity, and the evolution of their professional and personal lives. They discuss why the "training to failure" mindset of their 20s was a mistake and how to leverage muscle memory to maintain a physique in your 40s with much less volume. The conversation gets personal as Sal, Adam, and Justin share their individual journeys with faith, and Justin reveals the one business skill (asking for help) that allowed them to scale from a solo operation to a massive media powerhouse. ----------------------------- Sponsored By: Cozy Earth: Luxury shouldn't be out of reach.
