Dec 26, 2017

The Crushing Iron Podcast puts you in prime position for a great start on January 1, 2018. Good decisions happen from the right state of mind but often we make big decisions from a bad place. We wake up after staying out late, over eating, drinking, etc... and instead of doing "something" we decide to plan our week. Today we explore the process of doing that planning AFTER you actually do something productive. 

Also:

  • Exploring the #1 Week of Limbo
  • Why You Should Re-define Monday
  • Binging On Netflix - Peaky Blinders
  • Your State of Mind and Good Decisions
  • Making today, today
  • How Can You Make it Fun?
  • Ordinary as a means of extraordinary
  • The fight or flight of triathlon
  • Preheating Your Training Oven

  • Does equipment make a difference?
