Be a Thermostat, Not a Thermometer (Or, How to Stop Being Pulled Down by Tough Relationships)
About this episode
The 4 Questions We're Answering:
1. How can you be a thermostat instead of a thermometer in challenging relationships, especially with family members who don't share your pursuit of excellence?
2. What's the optimal balance between strength and endurance training for CrossFit athletes, particularly those with smaller body types?
3. How can you balance gratitude for your current professional situation while still pursuing growth and positive change?
4. What are the most effective training protocols to prepare for the Murph workout, especially if push-ups are your limiting factor?
