Timestamped Show Notes:
28:55 – So I interviewed Michael Easter, author of The Comfort Crisis on my podcast, and great book for listeners, very good. And he had this concept of you’re familiar with called the misogi. And it’s this idea, it’s this Japanese term that relates, that references sort of cleansing, and it’s evolved to mean sort of doing something very hard, where you come out the other side cleansed as a new person. And so this Misogi, there’s two rules of the misogyny. The first rule is, there has to be a 50% chance of success, and the second rule is, don’t die.

My legacy is about people by people who I impact. It’s about my kids. It’s about my wife. It’s about my my siblings. It’s about my community. It’s about f3 nation. It’s about serving people. And you know, there, there are few, few roles in life better than a teacher or a coach in terms of leaving a legacy. That’s why I love what I get to do, I get to impact people.
