Welcome to MX Mastery!
Mastery is defined as the highest level of skill and knowledge in a particular field or activity. That’s exactly what we’re trying to help you achieve in this podcast. Mastery of anything is more of a journey than a destination, and we’d love to have you come along for the ride!
In this podcast, we talk about what we know best; motocross training, and what it takes to get to the top level in this sport. On MX Mastery, you can look forward to everything from conversations with top athletes to topics like fitness, supercross, racing, amateur, professional, etc. If it’s moto, we’re going to talk about it!
In today’s episode, we discuss the good and bad of social media. On the good side, you can leverage social media to build a personal brand and enhance your career with money and influence. On the bad side, we give you some insight on how to handle haters and share stories about our personal run-ins with negative comments on social media. Enjoy!
