He's realized that life isn't so much about adding on, but about letting go. In this discussion, Josh dives deep into his weight loss journey, getting sober, and what he's learned from living most of his life in the public eye.

EFR 591: The Third Door - How to Overcome Crippling Fear and Rejection So You Can Pursue a New Life With Enthusiasm with Alex Banayan
What am I doing with my life?! How do all these successful people do it? Those are two questions most of us have asked ourselves at some point in our life, right? Maybe you're even asking yourself that right now… So, how do we move forward from that stagnancy? What do you do when your current life is actually sucking the life out of you? Perhaps, today's guest can give you a new perspective. Alex Banayan is an international best-selling author and the youngest best-selling business author in America.

In this rich discussion, Alex and Chase talk about the two reasons why rejection is crippling you, the mindset shift needed to persevere through rejection and fear of failure, and what it truly means to be yourself. Alex shares his candid thoughts on why you need to follow your enthusiasm, his 3-step framework for overcoming rejection, and the biggest realization he's had after studying the mindset of success for 10 years.

EFR 589: Staying Motivated to Train and How Your Mental Health, Biology, and Environment May Be Working Against Your Fitness Goals
In this solo episode, Chase reflects on his seasons of training, unpacking the things that have kept him motivated—and continue to keep him motivated—in and out of the gym. After over 17 years of purposefully and intentionally leading an active lifestyle, one of the most fundamental lessons Chase has learned is the cumulative power of consistency. You could say that just stepping foot in the gym when it's the last thing you feel like doing, is already half the battle. Many times, it really comes down to doing whatever it takes to simply show up, even if that means relying on external motivation to push you forward. Going through your personal seasons of fitness means that there will be weeks, months, or even a few years when that internal motivation that first got you going to the gym is no longer enough. As you "mature" on your fitness journey, you will need to find ways to reinvigorate your passion for training. Chase finds more purpose and excitement in his training today in large part because he found an amazing community of like-minded athletes. He also recently began testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), an ongoing experience which he speaks about at length in this episode. All that said, Chase reminds us to not neglect our mental and emotional health for the sake of our fitness goals. In his words, sometimes "motivation deserves a sit-down" so that we have the opportunity to check in with ourselves in a holistic sense. Chase is also a staunch advocate for tracking your training, because if you can't visually see your progress down to all of those minute wins that add up, it becomes so easy to lose motivation. Finally, throughout your seasons of training, always remember to embrace radical honesty not just to ensure you're really on the right path to growth, but also to assess whether you still have the same passion and excitement for the training modalities you're currently engaged in.
