Charlie Waters shares his One Big Thing: You're going to be okay. Sometimes, you have to learn to let your pain become your purpose! He discovered this after going through a difficult divorce and finding support from his family and therapy. He also found solace in fitness and using the Shred app, which helped him lose over 43 lbs, transforming his body from over 20% body fat down to under 8%. He is a beast!
Throughout our conversation, Charlie emphasizes the importance of seeking therapy and surrounding yourself with positive influences. He shares how he found the motivation needed to turn his life around by reading great books and listening to motivational speakers like David Goggins and Jocko Willink. He encourages listeners to start small and focus on getting 1% better daily. (Links to some of Charlie's favorite speakers are found below)

About Charlie
Through overcoming adversity and rebuilding from the deepest pit of rock bottom, I've was able to transform life’s challenges into fuel for growth, adaptations and success in all facets of life.
From infidelity, betrayal, heartbreak, and unemployment to achieving the major fitness goals I set for myself, obtaining brand partnerships in the fitness industry, and landing a dream role with an amazing company…The path of adversity I’ve traveled is a testament to the resilience we all have deep within us, and through discovering the untapped potential that lay dormant within, you too can overcome any obstacle life throws your way when you first get your mind right, but only through the practice of relentless dedication to yourself, consistency and developing the growth mindset. I’ve learned never to be a victim of circumstance, be the victor over adversity. Let your pain become your purpose…
