EP 249: Developing A Sharp Mind, Network and Will to Excel - Jay Ferruggia
Becoming the strongest version of yourself
Jay Ferruggia helps people become the strongest version of themselves and is often featured in the worlds best performance magazines. Jay is the guy elite athletes and coaches turn to get squared away, but it hasn't been an easy path for Jay. He has experienced physical and mental weakness, depression, insecurity, crippling anxiety, addiction and bankruptcy. Jay is a guy who has been through a lot and genuinely wants to share what he knows to help us get our mojo working.
Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements. They are not sponsored by, nor do we have any professional or affiliate relationship of any kind with any of the companies or products highlighted in the show.... sadly! It’s just stuff we like, think is cool and maybe of interest to you our listeners.
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
― Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967
