OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
Hurtling down a mountain on ice skates at 50 mph in 35 seconds! Pitching his sport for the next Winter Olympics! Starting his own all-natural CBD company. And Jack Schram, this week's #Make Your Mark guest, gives me advice on staying fit while sitting behind my computer screen, no easy task!
"After awhile working at what I thought was my dream job originally on Wall Street, I decided I really couldn't see myself doing this long term. I went back to what I would've liked to have done as a kid and I wanted to get back into the fitness industry. I just figured life is too short to not be pursuing your passions, and decided I wasn't going to let fear of what will or won't work out hold me back."
OK, so I'll be honest. I play ice hockey, and skating is hard enough, but can you imagine sharing the same few square feet with three other skaters, all trying to outskate and outmaneuver each other over a ½ mile sheet of ice straight down a mountain? It takes a certain mix of bravery, balls, and insanity to do this, and you'll hear all about that from Jack! We also discuss Rooted Athlete, his company that produces cold pressed CBD products meant to relieve pains associated with sports.
"I'm very strict with what I put into my body, so when I started this company, I told myself I wasn't going to deliver a product that I didn't think was the best in the world."
We cover a lot of ground in this episode, including the importance of Progress Over Perfection, and keeping in motion! Happy Listening!
"People have this view in their mind of where they want to go and it seems so unattainable, So I always tell people to focus on progress over perfection, and I really try to do this with everything I'm doing. When it comes to exercising, if your goal is to run a marathon, start by running one mile, or just walking around the block."
"It's important to stay focused on what you're going to do during the race, vs. looking at everyone else around you and their styles. That goes the same for life. You have to stay on your path, and not let other things dictate where you're going to go."
