One of the biggest lies ever sold to men: getting married means the fun is over, life is over… Men who believe that lie never grow up... They're consumers. They're easily manipulated and they don't care. They don't care about a lot of stuff… When you become a dad, and you have a family, and you're devoted to your family, everything changes including your consuming habits. - Sal Di Stefano Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Why Sal sees his journey as a blessing, even though it was difficult and painful. What it was like being raised in a traditional Italian family that immigrated to the USA and didn't have much money. The sense of responsibility: Being the oldest son and feeling like a father to his 3 siblings. Following the family tradition and getting married at the age of 22 to a girl with a similar background.   [10:30] Marriage And Growing Apart How divorce can break you and why Sal didn't want to be a weekend dad. Ending a 15-year marriage and asking himself: What did I do wrong? Why did it not work out? Getting into a marriage because of his family values, and putting all his time into making money and working hard. What he believed a dad's job was and how different values led to a lot of fights. Avoidance in Sal's marriage: Burying conflicts and not understanding the importance of growing together. Our modern culture: Glorifying being a single man who's having fun VS your life being over when you get married and have children. What made Sal feel like he was missing out and feel resentful.   [14:20] How Resentful Thoughts + Feelings Are Created One of the biggest lies that is sold to us according to Sal. Peter Pan Syndrome in men, how it's related to consumerism, and how men change as consumers when they become fathers. Objective VS subjective morality. Why men with children and are devoted to their spouses are happy, and why middle-aged female executives without children are the least happy. Facing mortality: What do people wish they had done more of in their lives? How Sal's challenges in life made him who he is now.   [19:35] Searching For Novelty VS Becoming A Man Why novelty makes us feel alive and the connection with the limbic brain. Getting pleasure without the work and having access to what you want all the time: Why is it a problem? The current problems are not new problems, it's a new environment. Envy: One of the 7 deadly sins has been around for thousands of years but the circumstances are different now. Why Sal thinks a good woman turns you from a boy into a man. Differences between men and women: The biological clock, emotional attachment. Chris Rock: “A man would live in a cardboard box if that's all he needed to do.” Jordan Peterson The spiral of evolution: The right woman will make a man grow. Why older adults in long-term relationships have better sex.   [23:30] Do We Really Know Our Children? Sal shares why not exercising actually hurts more than doing an exercise, and why eating whatever you want is not enjoyable. His life after divorce: Trying to be present for his children and have a good relationship with his ex-wife. How divorce finally brought Sal closer to his children, and how his view on day-to-day tasks completely changed. What makes him feel guilty about raising kids with his second wife. Josh shares his experience with taking care of his son and getting to know him.   [27:12] Providing For The Family How to provide for your family: Creating a balance between what you produce with your wants. The ways Sal would provide for his family if his life was more unfavorable, and why the values he has matter. Why he tries to not be on his phone even when his son plays by himself. Child development: Why the first 7 years are pivotal for our children.   [29:00] What It Means to Be Present How to drive more value from our behavior and the importance of presence. The difference between modern hunter-gatherers and us: Why are we always distracted? Why we need to practice presence and how to get better at it. Josh explains why the monkey brain is a construct of the default mode network and how our brain is impacted by trauma. Sal tells how he tried meditation for the first time and thought it wasn't for him. You have to practice to become better. Why he places himself in situations where it's hard to get distracted.   [35:08] The Mind And Body Connection How Sal healed from Asthma in his adulthood. Breathwork.io The connection between muscles and our breath. Sal explains the types of asthma treatments and how they work. How our triggers and fear can trigger asthma attacks and contract the muscles. Why he only uses an inhaler once a year now, and why he believes our mind and body play an important role in healing. Joe Dispenza Bruce Lipton What it means, “the body is the subconscious mind.” Arnold Schwarzenegger   [38:45] Growing Through Discomfort How Sal's insecurity motivated him to change, and why he liked the empowering aspect of fitness. Learning acceptance and the value of struggle through long-term fitness training, and why he started liking the journey more than the goal. Why he believes you can get better at anything if you practice enough and why you shouldn't be afraid to suck. What is the flinch response that's stopping us from doing things?   [41:25] Sal's Life-Changing Health Pivot Why Sal likes growth more than he hates discomfort. He talks about the radical fitness approach that he had to change his body and how it led him to Crohn's disease. Why he hired wellness experts for his clients but never actually used them for himself until he got sick. The reason he avoided looking at himself in the mirror for a year and what happened when he finally did. Why it's important to not dwell on the parts that we don't have control over but acknowledge them. What it means that we are meaning making machines according to Josh.   [45:32] Religion, Faith, And God Why is there a clash of faith VS our earthly senses and logic? What it's like being raised Catholic without spiritual practice. How our spirituality connects us to our mortality. Why Sal thought the religious idea of God only serves to control people. The good and the bad in people: How does it compare to religion? The Bible - Isaiah 45:7 What it means “I am everything and I am nothing at the same time.” Sal reveals why having a potential for good also indicates that you have a potential for bad. Why superheroes are not brave but regular mortal humans are. 405 Tim Corcoran | Vision Quest: How To Find Your Place In The Ecology of Life, Purpose Mountain & Spiritual Courage 457 Josh Trent: Solocast | Healing The Father Wound, 100+ Hours Fasting, Vision Questing + Being Alone With Mother Nature's Wisdom Josh's experience at Vision Quest: Stripping away distractions to awaken the subconscious.   [53:28] Growth + How Vulnerability Helps Us Grow MPM: 1480 How To Find Peace & Meaning Amid Chaos With Bishop Robert Barron What Sal means when he says "without Hitler, there would be no Schindler."

Resistance Training Revolution by Sal Di Stefano Why it's important to find a community to learn what you're interested in as well as against.   Power Quotes From The Show The Vulnerability Of Fatherhood "Being a dad, you definitely realize how invincible you were before in the sense that you've never been vulnerable like you are the second you care about something more than yourself." - Sal Di Stefano   Facing Mortality: What Is It That Truly Matters? "If you look at studies on people who are faced with their mortality, people with chronic disease who have a year to live, people on the death bed… Nobody says I wish I worked more or I made more money. Everybody says I wish I spent more time with my kids, I wish I had kids, or I wish stayed with that partner, I wish I was more with my family and friends." - Sal Di Stefano   Same Problems, New Environment "These problems that we have today are actually not new problems. It's a new environment… The reason why people are unhappy now is although we have more, they can see the next guy that has more than they do, as they compare themselves. That's not a new problem… This is human behavior. I don't think they're new problems, I think we have different circumstances. Human behavior doesn't change, I think we still have to learn the same lessons." - Sal Di Stefano   Links From Today's Show  Dr. John Gottman 451 Laura Coe | Understanding Akashic Records: How To Live Your Dharma, Spiritual Bypassing, Twin Flames & Soul Mates MPM: 1480 How To Find Peace & Meaning Amid Chaos With Bishop Robert Barron 484 Stefan Chmelik | Vagus Nerve Toning: The Science + Spirit of Healing From Stress With Sensate The Bible - Isaiah 45:7 405 Tim Corcoran | Vision Quest: How To Find Your Place In The Ecology of Life, Purpose Mountain & Spiritual Courage 457 Josh Trent: Solocast | Healing The Father Wound, 100+ Hours Fasting, Vision Questing + Being Alone With Mother Nature's Wisdom Mind Pump Media Mind Pump Podcast: Josh Trent Of Wellness Force On The Future Of Tech In Fitness & Beyond 437 Josh Trent | Death & Rebirth: Why I'm Saying Goodbye to Wellness Force… Jordan Peterson Joe Dispenza Bruce Lipton Arnold Schwarzenegger MPM Co-host: Adam Schafer MPM Co-host: Justin Andrews MPM Producer: Doug Egge Paleo Conference - Austin, Texas Shawn Stevenson: The Model Health Show 384 Shawn Stevenson | Eat Smarter: Use the Power of Food to Reboot Your Metabolism, Upgrade Your Brain, and Transform Your Life 333 Dr. Kelly Brogan | The Spiral Path: How To Own & Love Your Self Jessica Di Stefano Arthur Brooks Chris Kresser MPM: 620 Chris Kresser On The Chronic Disease Equation, The Potato Hack For Fat Loss, The Disease Worse Than Being Eaten By A Shark & MORE 140 Unconventional Medicine – Chris Kresser MPM: 1480 How To Find Peace & Meaning Amid Chaos With Bishop Robert Barron MPM: 910 Paul Chek Paul Chek MPM: 1792 The Secrets Of Happy People With Arthur C.

A painfully skinny teenager, he felt insecure about his physique and his lack of muscle and strength. Fitness was a way for him to apply hard work and effort towards changing and re-inventing himself. A natural intellect, Sal devoured every fitness, physiology and nutrition publication he could get his hands on. His appetite for knowledge is voracious and he used his passion for learning to maximize his own body's potential. 4 years later Sal walked into his local 24 Hour Fitness gym and applied to be a personal trainer. He quickly became a top performer and, at the age of 19 was promoted to the position of general manager with as many as 40 employees working under him. During this period of time, Sal learned to master skills of sales, marketing, and communication and his gyms broke records in sales and production. At the age of 22, Sal became an entrepreneur. He opened a wellness and personal trainer facility that offered one on one training, massage therapy, nutritional counseling, hormone testing, and acupuncture. At the age of 28 Sals health took a bad turn.   Sal's Wellness Journey The years of training his own personal body with excessive amounts of intensity in the pursuit of more muscle combined with the abuse of supplements caused his body to rebel. He lost 15 lbs of muscle and at one point believed he may have an autoimmune disorder. This forced Sal to change his personal approach to fitness. He made health a priority and he visited his insecurities that caused him to abuse his body. It took him a full year of study and learning to transform yet again. Sal learned about gut health, hormone health and how to prioritize health over appearance. He healed his body and changed how he communicates fitness and health and was re-invigorated with a new sense of purpose. Although this was a challenging time for him, it is literally what formed his view on health and how he communicates it to this day.   MAPS Programming At 33 years old Sal met Doug Egge who became his client. They formed a close friendship and together they created the first Maps program. Sal was the designer of the workout plan and Doug created the marketing material behind it. Their goal was to shatter the failed muscle-building workout ideas that Sal had personally witnessed as entirely ineffective. They knew that MAPS programming would be vastly superior. Their challenge was how to bring this to the masses. 2 years later Sal met Adam and Justin and together with Doug they started Mind Pump. The goal with Mind Pump was simple... Bring quality fitness and health information to the masses with integrity and honesty. Sal wanted to shift the direction of the fitness industry from an aesthetic insecurity-based industry to a self-love and self-care health industry. He knew this could be accomplished with education through entertainment.

This was one of my favorite podcasts I've done in a long time. It's probably not a surprise that it's with someone who hosts one of the biggest podcasts in the world, but that doesn't take away the richness of this convo.

For the 3 people who don't know, Adam is one of the three hosts of Mind Pump, which is a raw, entertaining, and no BS podcast on reaching your health and fitness goals. It gets lots of downloads.

Episode 32 brings a special appearance as one of my longtime supporters in the industry, Sal Stefanile, joins the show. Sal is legitimately one of the nicest people in the industry and makes a point to support new and unknown writers. He tells his own story on breaking in and also the season where he had to step away to regain control of his personal life. If you're an upstart writer tuning in, you'll find an ally with motivating words in Sal. Highlights from this episode include: - How Sal took his first steps into football and one of the more unique stories on falling in love with the game. - What made Sal gravitate to the 2QB niche and how it got him noticed quickly. - What's the reasoning behind his giving nature when it comes to giving other people exposure? - Sal took a year off from the industry to focus on his personal life and tells us why he did so and what brought him back. - A key final word on how to get noticed in a welcoming but crowded space.
