From the "Maintenance Mental Block" to the truth about functional training and the pitfalls of "soft" self-care, Cody delivers a masterclass in brutal honesty and logical decision-making. Whether you’re a parent trying to instill discipline in your children or a 35+ trainee looking to stay athletic into your 50s, this episode provides the "Choose Hard" blueprint for leveling up every area of your life.
