FITNESS IS THE KEY INGREDIENT TO FIGHT ADDICTION!   Struggling to be happy in recovery? Are you sick of trying everything to escape addiction only to realize it's not sustainable?    Then you will need to listen to this episode with Celebrity Chef and Fitness Personality, Michael Chernow!   “The business of business is relationships, and the foundation of relationships is trust, because I believe that. I say that in business, but it's also just in general. The business of happiness is relationships and the foundation of relationships is trust.”- Michael Chernow With that quote alone, you can already say that there are lots of things you can learn from my guest today. He is Michael Chernow --  a chef, entrepreneur. He is the founder of Seamore, co-founder of The Meatball Shop, and co-founder of WellWell. He's quite literally the modern-day renaissance man. But what I love most about him is he's really into fitness, and fitness helped to save his life from the depths of addiction, and which we will definitely get into.   How is Michael's life adjusted since this whole COVID thing hit?   Instead of upgrading their apartment when they had their second child, they bought a place out of the city which is their best decision because they are staying there for two and a half months now. Their boys are enjoying their life out of the city.   Unfortunately, his grandfather, 98, contracted the virus on Friday of last week in his nursing home. He has lived a very fruitful life. It's a shame that this is potentially what could be the end for him, and Michael's family sort of really bummed out about that.   However, Michael is a positive optimist, he always finds the silver lining in everything and he also tries to make lemonade whenever he sees lemons and at this time, he's actually out there just trying to make some lemonade.   Michael is greatly inspired by his grandfather because he absolutely lived a wonderful life -- born in 1919, survived the 20s Great Depression, fought World War 2, created businesses, and failed at some businesses. His grandfather is now 98 years old, and his number one priority was great relationships with people and he had an amazing network of friends.   For Michael, we all need to reset and pump the brakes. He has done a lot in the last 10 years and he admits that it hasn't been the healthiest.    He is just extreme in anything he does. He was an “addict.” When it comes to business and work, he's been into the grindstone non-stop for the last 11 years and this time has forced him to slow down, to not beat himself up, for not producing an enormous amount of shit every day, and to slow down to hold his son for more than two minutes.   For Michael, what is life all about? It's ultimately about love. That human beings were put on the planet to love and be loved at the end of the day.   In his own experience, he drank and did drugs because he wanted to be loved, and learn how to love himself and, and in his own perspective, everything that we do at the core of motivation or lack of motivation is the desire to love and be loved.   How did Michael get out of doing drugs and drinking?   He fell in love with escapism. At an early age, he fell in love with it. He started working in restaurants at 13. He worked in the night and he was perfect for it. There were a bunch of years where it was just super fun for him. But suddenly, all of the fun stopped and he started drinking and partying. His dad passed away when he was 20. Michael was not on good terms with his father, and he always used that as a grand excuse to just take it even further.   From 20 to 23, he was on a death march, but he still always had a job and always kept his job in a restaurant or nightclub.    The last few years were pretty dark for him. He stopped enjoying it, and it became just like part of his routine. There were moments like he just wanted to die. He couldn't believe that he found myself back there again, after promising not to do it again.   He clearly remembers catching a glimpse of himself in the mirror saying, “Man, I hate you more than anything on the planet.”   He wanted to die, and luckily, he didn't kill himself. He woke up 16 hours later and he had locked himself in his room and people thought he had actually died.   His boss, Frank, said, “I love you to death, man. I do. I love you to death but I can't watch you kill yourself. You're fired.”   Michael really loves his job so he begged for it and his boss said, “I can't give you your job [bar managing] anymore. I just can't put you behind the bar. But if you get sober, if you actually get sober, and you come to work at eight o'clock in the morning, and you clean the restaurant with the porters for 30 days, I'll consider giving you your job back.”   So Michael did all of it. He walked into a room of people that took him in like a brother, and they understood each other.   Then a couple of guys from that group knew that he had like a little bit of a aggressive sort of anger components, and they dragged him into a Muay Thai gym, and they said, “This is where you're going to wake up, where you're going to have breakfast, you're going to come meet with us and hang with us for about an hour. And then you're going to go over to the gym and train. And then you're going to go home and take a nap. And then you're going to go to work. And you're going to eat chicken and broccoli.”   He just can't live like that anymore.    And very quickly, he started to discover who he was. And it wasn't the guy that was abusing himself constantly.   What helped Michael to reestablish commitment to loving himself on a daily basis? It was absolutely Muay Thai and discipline of exercising. He owes his life to that.   Tune in to this episode to learn more about how he became who he is now. A lot of people can surely relate and will be inspired and motivated to keep on moving forward in life.   Some words of wisdom from Michael: Just do what you say you're going to do. And that's the way you get it. There's a big difference between listening and waiting to speak. You can't learn without listening. You might be able to learn a little bit by seeing something, but the actual long term growth and knowledge come through listening. The less you say, the better off you are when it comes to timing. You don't always have to be hurt. The more you listen, the stronger you'll be in life.   Connect with Michael Chernow:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelchernow/ Website: https://michaelchernow.com/ Podcast: Born or Made Podcast Connect with Doug Instagram: @dougbopst Facebook: Doug Bopst Website: www.dougbopst.com/gift   More on Earth Echo Foods/Cacao Bliss: www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst Use Promo code "Doug" at checkout to receive 15% off your order

"I choose to not be the smartest guy in the room because I enjoy being sourrunded by smart people" "This happened to me, I recognize it, it's given me fear in a lot if things, let´s address it and move on" "Human beings do not have the ability to control anything outside of their response to life" Michael Chernow is a restaurateur and chef, entrepreneur, TV host, fitness personality and family man dedicated to inspiring the world through positivity, hospitality and service.

Eric is the co-founder of Urban Life Athletics, a fitness facility in Syracuse, NY, as well as Original Grain, a healthy fast-casual restaurant chain.

In this episode we dive into: How Eric transitioned from working a job in the insurance industry to co-founding a software company and eventually only focusing on passion projects. The importance of being aware of our strengths, focusing on our zone of genius and not being the jack of all trades. How Triathlons helped Eric realize he could control his destiny based on time and practice and how he applied this mindset into businesses. Purposeful practice and why Eric uses this as a basis for all areas of his life including business, fitness, and personal growth. Why Eric decided to go from a competitive triathlon athlete to leading an everyday fitness and lifestyle entrepreneur. Why Eric seeks out discomfort every day, and why he believes seeking good stress is good for your health. How to balance our body between stress and recovery. The power of using structure and routines to create freedom. How Eric is intentional in meeting new people every single day and how he build this practice into his routine. Eric’s struggle in “going with the flow”, and his efforts to work on being more open with sharing his time when it is not something that interests him. How Eric uses the way he feels to evaluate things rather than science and why he believes this approach has led to his success in both health and business. www.brenttieri.com www.erichinman.com

When Michael Chernow got his first restaurant job at the ripe age of 13 he felt like he arrived. Now, with many successful restaurants under his belt plus two kids, the founder of the NYC sustainable seafood restaurant Seamore’s, co-owner of The Meatball Shop, and Executive Culture Officer of WellWell, a functional beverage brand offering sports and wellness drinks is taking his love of fitness and nutrition to every endeavor. It was that first gig that led to him becoming a dishwasher, then bartender, and eventually landed him a job as a bartender and server at Frank Prisinzano’s restaurant Frank. It was then that he got into alcohol and drugs, which wasn’t uncommon in the restaurant lifestyle. One day Frank took him aside and said “I love you, but I can’t watch you do this,” and said if he committed to getting sober, he could have his job back. This was a big enough incentive for Michael to get to the restaurant at eight in the morning sober and work. Since then fitness and wellness have become paramount in both his personal and professional life. When he opened his first restaurant at 28, he didn’t have much time to go to the gym so instead would run to work and do pushups in the bathroom. Now he’s waking up early in the morning, sometimes at 4:30 am to get to the gym so he can spend time with his family later on–whether it’s morning or night he doesn’t miss a day. Michael is also a big fan of functional nutrition and follows a mostly plant-based diet incorporating some protein and a little carbohydrates into his meals. Michael is so passionate about how fitness and wellness can impact our mental health that he’s extended his philosophy beyond his personal life. When he opened Seamore’s, he wanted to put an end to the idea that “the restaurant industry is all sex, drugs, rock, and roll, and smoking cigarettes.” For the employee orientation, Michael brought in yoga and mindfulness teachers and did a two-day self-development program. From that orientation, “fit squad” was created where once a quarter Seamore’s employees in all locations can come together to take a fitness class or bring a trainer into one of the restaurants. Michael credits the fact that 90 percent of the staff is original to this orientation where people got to know each other on a deeper level and participate in something that improved their health. This restauranteur is working to change the industry from the inside out through an emphasis on health and wellness. He’s seen how transformative it’s been in his own life and can’t wait to continue to share it in his restaurants and businesses. Michael’s inspiring story will encourage you to think about how wellness has already and could continue to propel your life forward in a positive direction. You’ll be left with tangible ways to incorporate more healthy eating and accessible movement into your life and will be excited to share with your community.

When the co-founder of NYC favorite eatery The Meatball Shop was 23 years old, he was swinging bottles as a bartender at Frank Restaurant and living a life of debauchery (his words, not mine). When he replaced alcohol with doing great things for his body, leaning into Muay Thai and running, his entire world changed. Fast-forward 13 years, the restaurateur now adds founder of sustainable seafood spot Seamore's and co-founder of WellWell, an all-natural sports beverage, to his lengthy list of accomplishments. In episode four, Chernow shares the #hurdlemoment that lead him to become one of the most respected men in New York City's restaurant scene. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hurdle/message

If you were a parent, chances are you’d want your kid to turn out like Sagan Schultz. Sagan is the CEO of the functional beverage and nutrition company, WellWell. He has a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience, a medical degree AND MBA from NYU and he’s a certified personal trainer. He’s also a certified sommelier and a self-proclaimed fitness junkie. WellWell is a watermelon-based, tart cherry juice that aids in muscle recovery. Sagan developed it in his kitchen because he wanted something to help his body bounce back faster after a workout — and here’s something I love: using his medical and science backgrounds, he created it by thinking of what he wanted it to accomplish for him, not by how it would taste or sell. (Though his somm background certainly came in handy when tinkering with flavor combos.) I asked Sagan how he does it all (despite my hunch that he’s freezing time, he promises he’s a mortal), and the advice he has for people who say they have no time to get things done. We also talk about medical school in the US and the shocking lack of proper nutrition education taught to soon-to-be doctors. I also snuck in some questions about wine — specifically the best bottle Sagan ever drank, and the tips he has for picking the best bottle of Riesling (spoiler alert: they’re not all sweet!)
