In this episode we bring in a special guest, Joe Chizek Joe was my original business partner when i first opened the Forged Athlete Gym who now lives out in Wyoming where he runs his own business, Train Tuff. In this episode we pretty much just shoot the shit and talk training and living life to the fullest. In life you've got to take chances and be willing to take risks. You could have it all, but if you ain't happy, you truly have nothing. Progress will never be a straight line up, rather it'll have a lot of ups and down. Training and pushing your body hard will help you be TUFF for when life calls for it. At the end of the day, it's NOT just about being tough under a barbell, but being TOUGH in life.
