The Strong Dad Club

Everyone has excuses.  I can't do X becuase of Y.  But what if you realized that you made up your excuses 'why you can't' which means that you can also make up reasons 'why you can'?  You have the ability to listen to your excuses and do the thing anyways.  Do the thing and you will have the power.

The Strong Dad Club

Chasing perfection is a way to let yourself off the hook.  If you mess up you can give up because you fell short of perfection.  Instead accept that life is messy and you will inevitably mess up.  And when you do...get up.

Max Shank is the most interesting man in the world. 

Or perhaps he is the most 'interested' man in the world. 

As an author, coach and owner of Ambition athletics in Encinitas California, and a world class competitor Max has a deep understanding of the fitness industry and why people actually want to get stronger, fitter, slimmer, bigger, and grow bumpy abs. 

Max is always questioning why we do what we do. As a result he has come to some conclusions that are powerful and can have an impact in your life immediately and easily. 

In an industry that is focused on fast results and suffering to gain rewards Max has shifted his gaze in order to gain a new perspective on how to feel loved, content, and able to fully engage with this reality. 

Quote of the episode: ‘We don’t like it when people do heroin but if someone kills themselves with Cheeto’s we’re like yeah that’s alright I guess.’

I had a blast talking with Max and there are some takeaways that I implemented into my daily routine easily. 

We talked about:

- The Power of Cycles in Life

- Something is WAY Better than Nothing

- The Power of Moving for 5 Minutes Each Morning

- Why It’s Hard to Start BUT It’s Also Hard to Stop

- Why suffering is not necessary to make progress

- Working out your stomach muscles and restricting your food choices is a weird way to find love.
