Zach from Born to the Iron Returns — Getting Jacked Naturally, Moving States, and Finding Meaning in Rock Bottom

🎙 
On this episode of David’s Saturday Night Sit Back, Zach from Born to the Iron returns for a powerful follow-up conversation. Zach is a natural fitness coach who helps people build muscle without drugs, supplements, or shortcuts—and today, he’s opening up about way more than training.

We dive deep into how to get jacked naturally, what it means to truly self-actualize, and why Zach is making a big move from Austin, TX to New Jersey. If you're navigating a tough chapter of life or considering a bold move, this one’s for you.

Zach also shares how his German roots shaped his worldview, how books like The Mastery of Self are transforming his mindset, and how to find growth in your lowest moments.

🎧 Whether you're into natural fitness, mental clarity, or just need a reminder that you’re not alone—this episode will light your internal fire.
