That Time I Chatted with Ben Pakulski

On this episode of Teeter Talks, I am beyond excited to sit down and chat with my dear friend Ben Pakulski. Ben is an impressive guy, and you may know him as a former IFBB professional bodybuilder, who reached the pinnacle of his sport as one of the top 10 in the world. After years of pushing the limits of physical potential, Ben has shifted his focus to helping others do the same in their own lives both physically and mentally.  As the CEO of Muscle Intelligence and a devoted father, he’s dedicated to guiding executives, entrepreneurs, and athletes toward better health, vitality, and performance. Ben is passionate about fostering leadership, helping people align their body, mind, and soul to not only achieve personal success, but also to inspire and lead others on their journey to a fulfilling and balanced life. He also hosts his own podcast, Muscle Intelligence, where he hosts experts and fosters highly informative conversation around all things longevity, leadership and legacy.  Join us today as we dive into these leadership topics:

• How Ben transformed from a lonely and overweight kid into a confident bodybuilder, finding balance between personal ambition, doing what it takes to succeed and the pursuit of deep, meaningful relationships.
• Comparing the worlds of bodybuilding and business, discussing the sacrifices each demands and how perspectives shift as we grow.
• The rarity and value of honesty, stressing the importance of holding ourselves and others to high standards and being willing to call out shortcomings.
• Seeing a leader as someone who connects with people in meaningful ways and adapts their approach to show up effectively for different individuals.
• Exploring success as living in alignment with your values and how we should have values in business and in life. 

It was so much fun catching up with my friend Ben! If you enjoyed and found this conversation insightful, be sure to show Ben and this podcast your love and support. Your feedback is so valuable, so please leave a rating or review wherever you’re tuning in from!
