The invisible system running your business
Friends, as many of you know if you listen to the show, I'm 55 years old.I've traveled the world, lived in a Zen monastery, trained military and law enforcement units in tactical applications and self-defense, I've built multiple businesses, survived a divorce, raised two sons, coached thousands of people and hundreds of appraisers to transform their businesses and lives.
And right now, my nervous system is sending me a bill I can no longer ignore. I suspect some of you listening may be experiencing some of the same without even knowing it.
Brain fog, fatigue, anxiety that shows up uninvited, and cortisol levels that just won't come down. The kind of stress that doesn't respond to a simple weekend off or even a longer vacation.
For years, I just muscled through because I told myself that I was tough, I was disciplined, and I was built different. From all my years of special training in Zen and the martial arts, stress inoculation training, breathwork, body work, and a plethora of study on all of these things, I mistakenly started to believe that just knowing that stuff was equal to doing it all and it's not.
I was lying to myself.What I was actually doing was running my most valuable business asset and resource, my nervous system, at redline for decades without sufficient maintenance. And now parts of it are breaking down.
Here's what nobody talks about when it comes to building a successful life and business: You can't build a $500,000 business, or a successful life, from a $5,000 nervous system. Your nervous system is the operating system and firmware that runs everything the world has come to know as you. It determines what you focus on and what gets your attention. It dictates what you see and what you don’t. It determines the quality of your decisions. Your decision quality determines your business and life outcomes. Your business and life outcomes determine your income, your freedom, your happiness, and your future.
And most of you, nay, most of us, are operating from doctors refer to as a 'chronically dysregulated nervous system' and wondering why you can't break through to the next level.
In this episode, we're talking about something the appraisal industry, every industry really, tends not to discuss: the nervous system tax you're paying every single day and how it's getting worse, what it's costing you, why ignoring it isn't strength, and what you can actually do about it starting today.
Here's the almost never discussed truth: your nervous system is running your business whether you know it or not and are willing to acknowledge it or not. We talk all the time about systems and processes to run your business more efficiently, but nobody ever talks about the real, and most important system running your business, which is likely an overactive and likely very dysregulated nervous system.
With everything going on in the world today, in our industry today, and maybe in your house today; with social media curating our news feeds, the constant doom and gloom dominating a 24-hour news cycle, and an unseen but ever looming threat of something just over the horizon, more and more people are in fight or flight mode and don’t realize it. It's not your fault. It's simply the combination of never being taught how to manage stress in an increasingly stressful world and an evolving sea of perceived threats all around us.
From a physiological standpoint, it's called 'chronic sympathetic activation' and, when you're in that state you make terrible decisions. You react instead of respond. You send emails you regret. You quote fees out of fear instead of strategy. You avoid difficult conversations with clients or AMCs. You avoid doing the things we talk about in coaching calls because you’re too stressed and too busy fighting to stay alive, and you see threats everywhere.
You think you're being strategic. Some of you think you're killing it because you're busy at the moment, but you're actually just dysregulated. You're in fight or flight mode and don’t even know it. The proverbial saber tooth tiger is looming on a cliff right behind you and your body and mind know it, you're consciously not aware of it.
Let me explain how this works.
Your autonomic nervous system has two operating modes: sympathetic mode, the one we often call fight-or-flight, and parasympathetic mode, sometimes referred to as rest-and-digest. In a healthy, regulated nervous system (the nervous system of the 1950's), you move fluidly between the two modes. A threat or stressor appears; sympathetic mode activates to deal with the threat. The threat passes, you recover and relax. That's the normal process that human nervous system appears to have evolved to handle.
But chronic stressors and threats, the kind most appraisers live in, breaks that mechanism and causes those systems to get gummed up with sticky constant 'threat residue'. Essentially, you get stuck in what's called 'sympathetic overdrive'. The system that manages your stress response, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis becomes hypersensitive. Your stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline stay elevated and your body starts interpreting very normal, every-day and non-threatening situations as threats.
An email from an AMC? Threat. A revision request? Threat. Your pipeline slowing down? Threat. A client asking questions? Threat. A reconsideration of value? Threat. Let's not even talk about the big stuff like a whole industry overhaul, the threat of AI, a massive form change, being bathed in constant blue light and radio signals all day, and the threat of world war III being blasted on the news 24-7.
Your nervous system and brain are trying to protect you, that's their job. Instead, they're robbing you quietly in the middle of the night. Because when you're operating from this constant fight or flight mode, the part of your brain responsible for strategic thinking, emotional regulation, and good judgment, the pre-frontal cortex, goes offline. Your body and brain are dealing with a constant flood of the fight or flight chemicals like adrenaline and cortisol.
You wake up in the morning still filled with those two chemicals and you start running your life and business from your lizard brain, which is the ancient part of your brain that only knows threat or safety, food or foe, fight or flight. And you wonder why you can't scale your business!
There's a concept in trauma therapy called the "Window of Tolerance."Think of it as your optimal operating range. Inside this window, you can handle challenges, think strategically, stay calm under pressure, make good decisions. Outside this window, you flip into one of two states:
Hyperarousal: Panic, rage, anxiety, physical tension, racing thoughts. You're in fight-or-flight mode and you can't turn it off, or Hypoarousal: which feels like emotional numbness, dissociation, freeze response, extreme fatigue, avoidance. Your system has given up and shut down.
Here's the problem: chronic stress shrinks your Window of Tolerance and, whether you know it or not, you’re experiencing chronic stress, we all are. The things we have to deal with on a day-to-day basis in 2026 are, in many ways, 100X more complicated and more stressful than what our parents and grandparents had to deal with at the same age.
It's not a competition, so please don't rub it in next time you chat with your mom or dad. That's not to say that having to go off to war or raise a family of 5 or more children in the 50's, 60's, and 70's wasn’t stressful, it was. What is different today though is the constant hum of electromagnetic energy from phones, wifi, cell phone hotspots, social media echo chambers, 24-hour news cycles, 18 month long presidential campaign cycles, the constant drum beat of war, constant news about interest rates and the economy, trillion-dollar national debts, and so on. We're all swimming in a sea of negative energy, real and imagined, that prior generations simply didn't have to.
Now, what used to be a minor irritation like a late AMC payment, a client pushback, an ala mode software glitch, or a change to the system sends you into full dysregulation of your nervous system. Your capacity to handle normal day to day business challenges has changed, and not for the better.
When your window of tolerance shrinks, your capacity shrinks. When your capacity shrinks, your life and your business shrinks. When the window shrinks, your ability to do almost everything shrinks. And here's what nobody wants to acknowledge or admit: most of you are operating with a window of tolerance the size of a credit card. One unexpected thing happens and we move to rage mode, attack mode, flee mode, or shutdown mode.
Friends, you simply can't build an exceptional life from that state. You can't lead a team, you can't have difficult conversations, you can't negotiate, and you can't think three moves ahead like you should be able to do as an entrepreneur. You're surviving…maybe, but you’re not building.
To give you an example from coaching; It's not uncommon for me to start working with someone and go through the normal process of getting to know who they are, what moves them, what stops them, and how they handle and view certain things, which can often take several months. After working with this particular individual for many months, I started to recognize a pattern emerging and I knew in that moment what had been holding him back from really taking off in business.
It wasn't his skills. It wasn't his marketing. It wasn't his systems. It was his nervous system.Every client interaction was a threat response. Every revision request triggered a fight-or-flight response. How dare they question his reports and abilities. Every glitch in his software that week was a direct attack on him personally and his nervous system was fried. His window of tolerance had grown so small that anything outside of the perfect day, the perfect order, or the perfect response from client would throw him into a tizzy.
His business and life decisions weren't being made by his strategic or rational brain. They were being made by a dysregulated nervous system trying to avoid perceived threats because everything was an anxiety inducing event that was outside of his control. Once I recognized it, I knew I wouldn't be able to fix his business by working on it. The only way anything could possibly help him would be to change the way his brain reacted and responded to the things going on around him. We ultimately patched the major issues by teaching him some techniques to regulate his nervous system over several months with a variety of exercises and changes to, not only his daily routine, but the way he perceives things going on around him. We literally had to rewrite and reboot his operating system, which doesn’t happen overnight.
It may sound odd to you but having done this kind of coaching and development work for the better part of my life now, I have seen way too many times to count how people say they want something, but have no idea just how much they're actually blocking themselves from ever getting it based on how their brain processes the world. It’s why most coaching doesn’t work for the majority of people.
You can't just tell somebody to write down their goals, follow a particular business formula that worked for John or Nancy, and expect that it will also work for them. It doesn’t, but not because the formula or framework is bad, but because most people have almost zero clue just how dysregulated their own brain and nervous system is and how it keeps them in fight, flight, or freeze mode. They have no understanding of their internal thermostat and regulation system that keeps them in one of those unhelpful states.
Now let's talk about the lies most people tell themselves. And I offer this, not as a criticism of you, but as a recognition of what I did to myself for many decades, and I suspect some of you do as well. There was a script playing in my head that said, "I just need to push harder. I just need more discipline. I'm tough enough to handle this. I'll sleep when I die. I'll be the last one standing. Nobody goes harder than me", and other stupid-isms that made up the firmware of my mental operating system.
It all worked great…until it didn't. What I didn’t initially realize when things stopped working was that it wasn’t an insult and it wasn’t a failure, it was simply biology.Our nervous systems aren’t designed for chronic, unrelenting stimulus and activation. They’re designed for acute stressors followed by recovery. Sprint, then rest. Threat, then safety. A short cycle or burst of activity and then a calming period to process the adrenaline and cortisol and then come back down to baseline.
I was essentially trying to sprint a marathon and labeling it discipline. Again, it worked for me for a long time, until it simply didn’t. I was ignoring the signals my own nervous system was giving me, which isn’t strength or discipline, it's strategic incompetence. Ignoring what your brain and body are telling you is not good self-defense.
The appraiser who white-knuckles through chronic anxiety and tells himself "I just need to toughen up" isn't strong. He's operating with critical system failure and calling it toughness. The proverbial warning lights are blinking and he's putting black electrical tape over them so as not to see them.
The warrior who ignores a broken weapon isn't heroic, he's foolish. Real strength is recognizing when a critical system is failing and taking proper care and immediate action to restore it.Real strength is saying, "My nervous system is dysregulated, and that's destroying my decision-making capacity, so I'm going to fix it."Real strength is treating your nervous system like the high-performance operating system it is and maintaining it accordingly.
The strongest appraisers I coach aren't the ones who work the hardest. They're the ones who operate from the most regulated nervous systems.They don't ignore their stress. They regulate it and, as a result, they make better decisions because of it.
Let's address one of the elephants in the room: hustle culture.For the last 20+ years, we've been sold a story that success means grinding harder, sleeping less, sacrificing everything, and pushing through pain and that story is killing us.Not metaphorically, by the way…literally.
Chronic stress and elevated cortisol are the biggest factors contributing to:
Cardiovascular disease
Diabetes
Autoimmune disorders
Cognitive decline
Depression and anxiety disorders
Early death
Friends, if you’re not addressing the signs and symptoms of an overactive nervous system, you're not building a business, you're building a future medical crisis. I've seen it way too many times not to talk about it. And here's the kicker: all the hustle isn't even working.The most successful business owners? They're typically not the ones working 80-hour weeks in a permanent state of stress and panic.
They're the ones who figured out how to operate from clarity. Who built businesses that don't require constant firefighting. Who protected their nervous systems as fiercely as they protect their bottom line and nobody talks about it because it doesn’t fit the hustle culture narrative or a neatly packaged social media message that guys like Gary Vee and Alex Hormozi sell. Just hustle harder, follow this formula, and you too can be fabulously wealthy while also destroying your body and nervous system.
Friends, we need to redefine what success means in 2026 because the world isn’t becoming a more relaxed and peaceful place. It's not becoming an easier business environment to build success in. Success isn't revenue at any cost. Success is a thriving life and business built by a healthy human being with a regulated nervous system and the capacity to enjoy what they've built.
If your business is profitable but you're anxious, exhausted, brain-fogged, and barely holding it together, I'm sorry, but you haven't succeeded, you've just built an expensive prison. You're going to just have to trust me on this one because I've done it to myself multiple times throughout my life and am speaking from painful experience. I'd be happy to share with you over a nice, healthy dinner sometime just how many times I've woken up and said, "what have I built and how can I get out of this?!"
Alright, enough theory. Let's talk about what you actually do.
First, understand this: you cannot think your way out of a nervous system problem.Your body doesn't care about your affirmations. When you're in fight-or-flight mode, your rational brain is offline. Trying to "just calm down" or "think positive" is like trying to reason with a fire alarm. You have to signal safety to your body first, then your brain can follow.This is called bottom-up regulation. You're working with your physiology, not against it.
What I'm going to share with you is nothing groundbreaking and nothing a quick Google search couldn’t also reveal to you. The important point is not the information itself, it's what you do with the information that determines where your nervous system ends up at the end of your day.
Having a background in eastern philosophies and practices, I can tell you that almost everything I'm going to share has been practiced in some form for eons in other cultures, it's just not widely accepted in American culture for some reason. Maybe it’s a sign of weakness to have to acknowledge that these exercises are needed, but I can assure you that they are needed even more so today.
1.Breathwork
The first tool in the nervous system regulation toolkit is simply your breath. Breathing is fascinating because it's one of the few things that humans can do consciously, yet, if we forget to consciously breathe, we don’t die because it also happens unconsciously. We don’t have to think about breathing when we're asleep.
This means that our breath is one of the most important bridges between our conscious mind and what is happening underneath all of that. The fact that we can consciously control our breathing is a feature, not a bug. When we breathe, we're dumping carbon dioxide from our body and subsequently activating your parasympathetic nervous system, which is the rest and digest side of your nervous system. Your heart rate drops and your body gets the signal that the threat is over, it's ok to relax.
Simply learning to take long inhalations and longer exhalations at different times throughout the day is an important step in developing a well-regulated nervous system. It's one of the reasons we might heavily sigh after a frustrating encounter or a long day. It's your brain's way of trying to tell your conscious mind that it's ok to relax, you've scared off the saber-toothed tiger for now.
Whenever you recognize an increased level of stress, simply begin to lengthen your breaths. Think about your navel and push more breath into your belly. Then control the exhalation for a count of at least 8. Do these eight or ten times and check in with how you feel.
2.Cold exposure
Yes, you've likely seen this trend grow over the last 5 years or so and it's grown for a good reason. The trend is cold exposure. Something interesting happens inside your body and brain when it's exposed to the cold. Just splashing cold on your face, putting a cold pack on the back of your neck, or finishing your shower with 30 seconds of cold water triggers something called the mammalian diving reflex, which is an evolutionary override that acts as an emergency brake on sympathetic nervous system activation. Your heart rate slows immediately.
I've doing cold plunges and cold exposure since 1991 when I started living in the Zen center in Chicago. That's when I was introduced to some of these practices and never once in all of that training did anyone ever mention the mammalian diving reflex or the cortisol lowering benefits. It was a simple practice of extreme cold exposure while practicing lower abdomen slow breathing. The whole point of slowly walking into Lake Michigan on January 1st was to continue the slow, controlled inhalations and exhalations we practiced during Zen meditation sessions and training.
Once I moved back home and started my own Aikido and Zen dojo, cold plunges became a fairly regular practice, especially when a group of us would travel to another state or another country for an Aikido conference. I have to admit that many of our late-night cold plunges into lakes, rivers, and even hotel retention ponds were bolstered by a fair amount of liquid courage, but they were cold plunges nonetheless.
Whatever your preferred method of cold exposure, It's all uncomfortable, but that's partially the point. You're teaching your nervous system that discomfort isn't danger. Jolene and I invested in a cold plunge pool and a steam sauna last year and it has been life changing. Uncomfortable and painful at times? Yes, but I couldn’t imagine living without them today. 2-5 minutes laying in 48-degree water and then immediately into the steam sauna for 20 minutes and all of the adrenaline and cortisol from the day are lying at the bottom of the cold plunge and sauna afterwards.
The next tool in this toolkit is:
3.Morning Sunlight Exposure
If you’ve never studied the science of your body's natural biorhythms and the effect of artificial blue light on the brain, I would recommend you get familiar because it's never been more important than the moment we currently live in. We are swimming in a sea of man-made blue light, microwaves, and electromagnetic machines with all of our cell phones, tablets, laptops, and TVs.
If you're anything like me, you look at your phone hundreds of times throughout the day. You stare at a computer screen for some portion of the day. You’re sitting idle in an office chair for some portion of the day. You wake up and start scrolling on that same phone first thing in the morning and the last thing at night. You go to sleep with the tv or a tablet running Netflix and then wonder why your attention span is so low, your body isn’t performing the way it used to, and your stress levels are off the charts.
To simplify this by a large factor, your brain is wired to recognize the blue light from the sun as the motivation to wake up in the morning. That's when our cortisol is supposed to spike to get us out of bed and then decrease throughout the day.
The obvious problem in the times we live in is that, for many, including me, the first blue light we often see is from our phones and right up close to our faces, which can trick the brain a bit and release more cortisol while we're still laying down instead of up and about like we used to do before cell phones. While some of the science is still a bit mixed on the negative effects of blue light from devices, mostly at night, there is a fair amount of science on the benefits of getting outside within the first hour of waking and getting some natural light on your face.
This synchronizes your circadian rhythm. It triggers a healthy morning cortisol spike that naturally declines by evening, which is supposed to set you up for deeper and better sleep.If you're waking up tired, struggling to fall asleep at night, or feeling wired-and-tired all day, this one practice can be a game changer.
One of the suggestions that I've been practicing on and off for the past six months or so is delaying any digital device use for the first 60-90 minutes after waking. I get up, so some stretching and movement exercises, head outside for a few deep breaths and some sun exposure, go back inside and meditate for 20 minutes or so, and then ease into my normal morning writing and research practice. I can report that there is a definite difference in my days when I don’t follow that routine.
Which leads to the next tool in the toolkit:
4.Gentle Movement
Walking. Stretching. Yoga. Tai chi.This isn't about fitness. It's not about burning calories while fasted. It's not about getting your heart rate up in the morning. This is simply about nervous system discharge. When you're in chronic stress, your body is flooded with adrenaline and cortisol. Movement helps metabolize and clear those stress hormones.You're also teaching your body that physical exertion doesn't equal panic. That you can move and still be safe.
Of course, exercise and physical fitness will be discussed here as well, but this particular tool is about getting your day started by getting rid of any excess cortisol and adrenaline that still lingers from the prior day. Try it for 20 minutes a day and see if you can go unbroken for a full 30 days, minimum.
I was going to add a section in this episode about strategic supplementation, but since everyone is different, I don’t want to be suggesting certain supplements that maybe you can't take. Most people who've studied supplements know the big ones like vitamin C, Magnesium, L-theanine, Ashwagandha, and several others that are highly recommended for nervous system regulation and regulation of the HPA axis that I talked about earlier. Be sure to do your own research and talk to your own doctor before taking anything.
The fifth tool in the toolkit is, of course:
5.Physical Fitness
I won't spend a bunch of time on this one because I've talked about it many times before, I talk about it in our Appraiser Increase Academy on almost every video I upload, and because there is already so much awesome data and science out there about it that, if you don’t know why it's important to be physically fit, do some daily exercise, and make yourself hard to kill, then nothing I say here will likely help.
Get in better shape!
The last one's that I'll mention are what I'll simply throw into a general tool I'll call:
6.Maintenance
Again, these are things that somebody like me shouldn’t have to be talking about or teaching on a podcast, but with every day that goes by and the more people I coach, the more I realize just how few people ever do any research on this stuff until they have some kind of physical, mental, or emotional breakdown, and even then most people will simply go on some kind of pharmaceutical prescribed from their doctor when that happens.
Everything we're talking about on this episode is as much about prevention as it is about recovery as well. I've been working on both, the prevention and the recovery parts, at different times throughout my life and, right now, I would say I'm working on the recovery part more because I didn’t work on the prevention side enough in the last 10 years.
Thankfully for me, not only have I been extremely lucky over the years, I believe I did enough of the fitness, research, and meditation stuff for so many years prior that the recovery path has been much easier for me than what I've seen some others deal with. There is something to building up the muscle and nervous system memory over the years.
So, for the maintenance stuff, an important one that I don’t see talked about much at all is diet. I'm not going to tell you how to eat beyond talking about one of the important factors of one's diet, which is:
Blood Sugar Stability.
Every time your blood sugar crashes, your body interprets that as a threat and releases cortisol. How do we avoid this? Start your day with protein, eat protein with every meal, and prioritize protein intake throughout the day. It doesn’t matter if you're a vegan, vegetarian, or carnivore, your body wants protein to maintain lean muscle tissue and to avoid the sugar crashes.
Remember, we said that cortisol typically spikes in the morning, so it's advised to eat within 1-2 hours of waking to help bring cortisol back down and get your nervous system back into a regulated state.
The bottom line is that you can't regulate your nervous system running on blood sugar chaos.
The next maintenance suggestion is what we'll call:
Non-Negotiable Recovery Windows
That means taking one full day per week with zero work. Not "light work"…zero work.Lunch away from your desk. Dinner outside without your phone and laptop. An end-of-workday ritual; something that signals to your nervous system: "the threat is over and you're safe now."This could be a 10-minute walk outside, changing clothes, or a specific breathing protocol. It doesn't really matter what it is. What matters most is consistency and the signal you're sending to your nervous system that the threats from the day are gone and you're safe.
This may sound very strange to you if you've never researched how your brain and body have evolved to deal with threats. I did too when it was first introduced to me. But it’s a very real thing and the stress and anxiety of daily existence in today's world is not something to scoff at. It should be taken very seriously if you consider yourself a serious person and entrepreneur.
Part of being an entrepreneur is having the right tools, the energy, and the sustained motivation to carry out the plan. If you burn out prior to reaching the goal, whatever that may be for you, its most likely due to improper management of your nervous system, not all the external factors we tend to blame for the burn out.
The last one I'll talk about in this episode is something the Japanese call, Shinren Yoku, or forest bathing. We can just call it:
Nature Exposure
20 minutes in some kind of green space like a park, your backyard, or a wooded trail. Forest bathing and exposure to nature measurably lowers cortisol, heart rate, and blood pressure. Your nervous system evolved in nature, not under fluorescent lights staring at a computer screen, so give it what it needs. Spend some time each week out in nature and see if you don’t notice the effects.
Let's bring this one home, friends.I'm 55. I've spent decades muscling through, ignoring the signals, and telling myself I was strong enough to handle it. That it was part of what it means to be a man, to be tough, to take all the stress and just deal with it. The problem is that stress is cumulative. That means that your body and mind get used to certain levels of stress and anxiety and all the chemical signals that come with them.
If somebody ask you how things are going, you're used to saying "good!", because you don’t see the levels of stress as anything but normal. But it's building up inside of you like a sponge holding onto water. It's unseen for a while, maybe even a long while, like decades. But, at some point, the sponge becomes saturated and can't hold one more drop of water. Your body is the sponge.
Don’t get me wrong, some types of stress are good for you. That's called eustress. Doing pushups is considered positive stress on your body. Working out each day is a form of eustress. What we're talking about in this episode is the kind of stress that is internalized and left unreleased. It's stored in the body's memory channels until those channels, like the sponge, can't hold any more stress. That's when the nervous system dysregulation rears its ugly head and in a variety of ways.
The ways it shows up for you might be completely different than the way it shows up for me. In fact, the ways a dysregulated nervous system signals to its host that its out of wack are as numerous as the number of humans on the planet, which is why it's so important to know what's going on inside of you.
Friends, You cannot outrun biology. Your nervous system will send you a bill. The only question is whether you pay it now in small installments through regulation practices or later in one catastrophic payment through burnout, health crisis, or business collapse.
Brain fog, fatigue, anxiety and elevated cortisol that won't come down without intervention.I'm not telling you this to get sympathy. I'm telling you this as a warning.I see it in my coaching students constantly.The appraiser who's been grinding for 20 years and suddenly can't get out of bed or doesn’t want to. The business owner who has a panic attack in the middle of an inspection and has to pull over.The high-performer who's making good money but can't remember the last time they felt calm.
These aren't weak people. These are people operating with a broken nervous system and calling it dedication.
We all have a choice: keep doing what you're doing. Keep muscling through. Keep telling yourself you're tough enough. Keep running your nervous system into the ground.And in 5 years, maybe 10 years, you'll either be broken or you'll be forced to stop because your body makes the decision for you.Or you can recognize that your nervous system is your most valuable business asset and start treating it accordingly.
Every one of you can implement one practice from this episode today. The breathwork, morning sunlight, cold exposure, walking barefoot in your yard. And I encourage you to reframe this work not as weakness, but as operational necessity since it's one of the most strategic things you can do for your life, your relationships, and your business.
You can expand your Window of Tolerance so you have the capacity to handle what building an exceptional life and business actually requires.
Friends, you can't build a $500,000 business from a $5,000 nervous system.But you can build a regulated nervous system. And from that foundation, you can build anything.
Strength isn't suffering. Strength is doing the boring things that need to be done and doing them consistently over a long period of time. The best time to start was yesterday. The next best time to start is today.
Do more. Be more. Live more. Give more. Until next time, I'm out…
