Hard work, resilience, and a relentless drive—Greg Whitmire is the definition of what it means to level up in life and business. In this episode, we dive deep into his entrepreneurial journey, his hardcore morning routine (including a 3 AM wake-up and freezing cold plunge), and the grind mentality that keeps him winning.But it's not just about business—Greg gets real and raw about overcoming addiction, shifting his identity, and finding true purpose after years of self-destruction. We talk about what it takes to change your life for good, why most people are “consistent” in all the wrong ways, and the non-negotiable mindset shifts that separate the successful from the stuck.If you've ever felt like you were meant for more but just couldn't break old habits, this episode will hit hard. Tune in, take notes, and get ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about success.

About Tim Whitmire:Tim Whitmire is the co-founder of F3 Nation, a global network of free, peer-led workout groups for men that has expanded to tens of thousands of participants worldwide. In 2018, he founded CXN Advisory, a consultancy focused on helping CEOs and leaders align on strategic objectives, drawing from his experience as a college rower and his role as an organizational “coxswain.” After suffering a serious stroke during heart surgery in 2022, Whitmire's recovery deepened his commitment to prioritizing relational over transactional approaches in life and leadership. A Harvard graduate and California native, he is the co-author of Freed to Lead: F3 and the Unshackling of the Modern-day Warrior and is working on a new book, The 91 Percent Solution. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Tim Whitmire discuss:Growth through transformative life eventsCommunity as a remedy for isolationThe power of relational leadership practicesSustainable effort as a path to successTransforming workplace culture to foster connection Key Takeaways:Physical fitness and strong, authentic relationships provide vital support during recovery from life-changing challenges, fostering resilience and growth.Structured communities address loneliness by creating opportunities for meaningful relationships, shared purpose, and mutual support.Leadership that focuses on relational connections rather than transactional interactions builds trust, engagement, and stronger teams.Prioritizing sustainable effort through approaches like the “91% Solution” promotes balanced achievement, long-term productivity, and personal well-being. "I feel like that 91 percent expectation is a reasonable standard. If you're hitting things with 91 percent consistency and expect that of other people, I think that's acceptable.” — Tim Whitmire Connect with Tim Whitmire:  Website: https://www.cxnadvisory.com/Email: tim@cxnadvisory.comX (Twitter): https://x.com/trwhitmire_obt & https://x.com/advisorycxnInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cxn_advisory   See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint podcast. And my guest today is Tim Whitmire, the Co-Founder of F3, the largest network of workout groups in America, and CXN Advisory, creating strength and internal alignment for company leadership teams. Welcome to the show, Tim. Thank you, Steve. Glad to be on and appreciate you taking the time. So Tim, before we get into F3 and your work with CXN, I'd like you to share with us what is your personal “Why” and how did that play into the co-founding of your companies? Yeah, absolutely. Because both F3 and the founding of my company are really kind of all about my personal “Why.” I've always my whole life been kind of a group builder and somebody who's trying to get people together to achieve things that they can't achieve on their own. No man is an island, and nobody completely builds something by themselves. And as far back as sixth grade when I was trying to get a drama club going at my elementary school and put on plays and learning some lessons from that, and from then on, I've been always trying to kind of get people together and harness kind of the synergy of people working together to achieve things greater than what they can achieve on their own. So you're a group builder. So why is this important for you? I don't know. I mean, you could put me on the couch and we could spend some time with a psychologist. I don't know, a child of divorce and a little bit of a loner as a child, didn't always necessarily fit in. So maybe a way of gaining social acceptance as well and finding a way to build friendships and connect with people. But just for whatever reason, and it's just been this recurring theme of like, I'm trying to start things, I'm trying to, and that's of course an entrepreneurial mindset as well. Let's get a bunch of people together and put on a show or create a product or build something better than what we can build if we're individually on our own. So I don't know. It's just the itch that I need to scratch. I've needed to scratch my whole life. We talk about in F3, talk about a man's dolphin and his daffodil. And I won't explain the whole metaphor there. You can read the book, free to read if you want to. But the daffodil is, or the dolphin is the thing that you're born to do. So like a dolphin is born to swim. And your daffodil is the group of people that you feel most strongly about doing that thing on behalf of. And for me, F3 ended up being kind of a perfect matchup because my dolphin was that sort of group building and getting people together and my daffodil happened to be grown men who have the ability to be more than what they currently are. Yeah, well, that's fantastic. So tell me a little bit about F3 and how did it come about, what it does and how does it help people? Yeah, so, look, surely by accident is the answer. And it's a series of happy coincidences. But a friend brought me out to a group workout in a park here in downtown Charlotte where I live back in 2008. And it was just a group of guys who got together every Saturday morning at the railroad...
