Episode Summary
In this episode, Jose Mendoza Figueroa and I talk about what it really takes to build strength—physically, mentally, and in life and business. We get into the mindset shifts that actually create change, why discipline beats motivation every time, and how consistency is the real secret to success.
Jose shares what he’s learned from training thousands of people, the biggest mistakes people make when trying to hit their goals, and how to push past the excuses that keep people stuck. We also connect the dots between building a strong body and building a business—because the same habits and mindset apply to both.
