In this episode, I dive into the heart of my college essay—a personal reflection on how weight training and running became more than just physical outlets. They became lifelines.

Whether you're an athlete, student, or just searching for direction, this story is about discovering strength in the struggle—and how the most captivating energy often comes from within.

In this episode of the Strong Student Show, we dive into the difference between motivation and discipline—and why relying on fleeting motivation will never lead to long-term success.

This isn’t just about willpower—it’s about creating systems and habits that align with your goals.
