About this episode
Eric Hinman is a renowned athlete (CrossFit/5x Ironman), serial entrepreneur, brand builder, and wellness content creator at the top of his game. He wasn't always this way; Eric made a dramatic transformation in his late twenties from a life of partying and "chasing the public perception of success" to ruthlessly pursuing wellness, deep friendships, and "living life on his own terms." In this conversation, host Jesse Carrajat and Eric discuss the importance of replacing bad habits with good ones, the consequences of "cheap" dopamine hits from drugs & alcohol, how surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals is critical for wellness, how to minimize distractions to achieve flow-state, the importance of consistency vs. specificity in fitness training, and his personal recipe to create, and live, the "Perfect Day" EVERY day.

The community and environment we surround ourselves with play a significant role in our well-being and motivation. Earning dopamine through hard work and natural activities leads to sustainable fulfillment. Pushing through discomfort and embracing challenging experiences can expand our limits and improve our mindset. Setting specific training goals and dedicating time each day to exercise can lead to personal growth and achievement. Exercise, including strength training and conditioning, is the foundation of a good fitness program. CrossFit and mountain biking provide a mix of strength, aerobic capacity, anaerobic capacity, skill, and risk. Being fully present and focused is important in today's technology-driven world. Taking calculated risks can lead to personal growth and opportunities. Engaging in activities that bring joy and fulfillment is key to a perfect day. Prioritizing sleep, diet, and recovery is essential for overall well-being. Building meaningful relationships and contributing to the community are important aspects of a fulfilling life.
