About this episode
Welcome to the latest episode of Next Level! I'm your host, Brad Jensen, and today we dive deep into practical strategies for personal growth alongside our co-host, Craig Smith. We'll explore everything from incorporating stoic philosophy into daily life, the power of meditation, and the importance of small, consistent improvements in fitness and nutrition. Join us as we discuss my journey of reading one page a day, mastering time management, and the significance of honesty for stress relief. Craig and I also highlight reducing social media use, setting achievable goals, and stepping out of comfort zones at the gym. You'll hear motivational stories, like encouraging young gym-goers and overcoming the infamous "Quitters Day," while offering lifestyle advice on balancing actions to align with one's values. Get ready for a robust conversation designed to help you elevate your mind, body, and spirit.
