Impossible Podcast With Joel Runyon

Kyle Maynard, who I originally interviewed in episode 2 from this season, is back! As you know from that episode, Kyle is uniquely qualified to talk about building a resilient life, since he lives it every day. Born without arms and legs, Kyle has tackled both figurative and literal mountains, including Mount Kilimanjaro, which is Africa's highest peak. In this episode, Kyle breaks down some quick tips and areas of focus that can help you build a resilient mindset and life in a hurry.       

Building a strong mind can change every aspect of a person's life, and Rob MacDonald (aka Bobby Maximus) believes that the fastest way to build it is in the gym. The physical stuff you deal with is the easy part. Facing your own mind can be a bit more daunting. You can do everything in your power to be a good husband or wife, son or daughter, father or mother, but things may still not work out. However, when you face your demons in the gym, when you are in the middle of a workout and want to give up...but you don't...you are guaranteed to improve your life in a way that will eventually seep into every other aspect of your life. In this episode of Impossible Radio, Joel and Bobby talk about what it takes to build a strong mind, the incredible value of physical training, and what you can do to improve yourself in a hurry. (hint: you'll probably be "moving" a lot, while at the same time, not "moving" at all. Tune in to today's episode...it's bound to change your perspective. 

Anytime you start working towards a big, scary, impossible looking goal, you're inevitably going to face set backs. Times are going to get hard. You may even get to a point where you aren't sure if you can do it anymore and you're going to want to give up. Throw in the towel. Stop the frustration and the pain.  Sometimes, that's exactly what you need to do. It IS time to close up shop and move on with the lessons you've learned from the school of hard knocks.  Many times though, it's not that time. It IS time to push a little harder, give it a "real" go, and see what is really possible.  So how do you know what time is what? When do you muscle through and when you let things end? Joel breaks it all down in this episode of Impossible Radio: Resilience.

Grit and resilience aren't natural skills you're born with. They're something that you have to build. It's something you can learn. Over his incredibly successful career, Command Master Chief Paul Tharp has built such an incredibly resilient mind that he now teaches aspiring seals how to do it too.  Listen to this week's episode of Impossible Radio and become more resilient, today. 

Anticipating that things will get tough on the road to Impossible things helps to set you up to be prepared for the disappointments that are destined to be along your way. If you expect it, you can prepare for it, so it doesn't ruin your progress. Keep moving. Listen to today's episode of Impossible Radio and become more resilient, today.

If there was a list of people most qualified to talk about resilience, Kyle Maynard would be at the top. Born without arms and legs, Kyle has been tackling mountains, both figurative and literal, one step at a time. He's literally crawled to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak on the African Continent and competes at elite levels in jiu-jitsu, not to mention a host of other things that keep him on the go.

In this episode of Impossible Radio, Joel introduces this season's theme: resilience; what is resilience? How do you become more resilient? What does it take to "get into the arena" and start making the dreams you have ACTUALLY happen? Or the most important question...how do you make it through, especially when times start to get tough?
