    What does it take to build mental toughness, discipline, and lasting transformation? In this episode of The YLF Chats Podcast, I sit down with Jeremy (J) to break down his journey with 75 Hard and Live Hard—a journey that has completely reshaped his mindset, fitness, and approach to life.

    We discuss the biggest challenges of 75 Hard, how J adapted the program post-bariatric surgery, and the mental shifts that helped him stay committed through failures, setbacks, and extreme conditions (yes, even walking through snowstorms just to stay on schedule).

    J also opens up about his two transformations—his initial weight loss after surgery and his second transformation into a stronger, more disciplined version of himself. Whether you're thinking of taking on 75 Hard or just looking for ways to level up your mindset, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.

    Listen in to hear:
    ✔️ The biggest mistakes people make when starting 75 Hard
    ✔️ How to stay mentally committed even after setbacks
    ✔️ Why building a strong support system is key to success
    ✔️ How discipline extends beyond fitness into every area of life
    ✔️ The importance of leading by example, especially for family

    This conversation is all about consistency, resilience, and breaking through your limits—because the real transformation happens after you push through the hard days.
