Episode description

Mike talks about his experience with 75 Hard, a transformative program where you do various physical and mental development tasks for 75 days. One of the best things I did over the summer is something called 75 Hard. It is a transformative mental toughness program designed to help you take control of your life and just be a better version of yourself after completing it. Today, I'll be talking about how I discovered 75 Hard and why I got into it (Hint: friendly bet). Then I'll go over the various tasks that you'll be required to do throughout the program and share my own experiences with them overall. A lot of entrepreneurs often overlook their own physical and mental toughness, so I hope this solo episode will inspire you to take care of yourself as you grow your business.
