In this episode, Steve Baumgartner dives deep into the essential link between physical strength and effective leadership. Drawing from his own personal transformation, Steve unpacks why fitness isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about forging the discipline, accountability, and resilience every leader needs.

You’ll discover why a weak body leads to a weak life, how to reclaim your strength with practical, no-nonsense steps, and why building a community of like-minded men is critical for staying on mission. Whether you're leading a business, a family, or both, this conversation will challenge you to see your health and wellness as non-negotiable pillars of your success.

✅ The deep connection between fitness, leadership, and personal growth
✅ Simple (but not easy) tactics to transform your body and mind

“Your body is a temple. Strength is tied to obedience and stewardship.” – Steve Baumgartner
