In today’s world, and especially in the world of health and wellness, discipline is a virtue that is often revered higher than any other. Unlike so many other coaches, doctors, or fitness influencers though, today I’m going to share how discipline, when gone unchecked, can turn into a terrible thing for you, your lifestyle, and your health. On today’s episode, we look back on a conversation I got to have with Sam Wetherell, a very successful DC, good friend of mine, and the most disciplined man I know. Sam shares with us how his extreme discipline, while praised by others, actually led him to struggle in his fitness, his career, and his relationship, and what he did to help drastically change the way he looked at working hard and making sacrifices on a regular basis.
