061: Harnessing Fitness and Fatherhood | Drew Rossell's Journey from Powerlifter to Marathon Dad

Embarking on a fitness journey amidst the delightful chaos of a bustling household with energetic kids might sound like an expedition destined for the realm of myths. Yet, my brother Drew Rossell stands as a towering testament to the reality that this journey is not only possible but filled with victories.

We have a little heart-to-heart as Drew's narrative unfolds his transformation from a formidable powerlifter to a marathon runner, all while juggling the intricacies of family life. Of course, there is a delicate balance of nurturing self-care alongside unwavering dedication to your kiddos.

There are many lessons to be learned from the mere act of lifting weights and logging miles; it's a profound teacher in embedding values and maintaining a pinnacle of excellence. Drew wants to be there for his kids, so what better what to do so than by taking care of himself?

Drew shares stories illustrating the profound impact of our endeavors, be it rising at the crack of dawn to carve out time for a workout or surmounting those instances when our resolve wanes. We unveil the magic ingredients for staying true to our path: the empowering 10-minute rule, the insights of Jocko's disciplined ethos, sprinkled with a hint of competition that fuels our drive to excel.

The takeaways resonate with clarity: discipline is the seed from which growth sprouts, whether it's making strides on the track or leaps in life's myriad avenues. Drew and I might have embarked on this journey as competitors, but we are brothers and brothers support each other in all goals.
