211 - Discipline and Leveraging the 'Have To' State with Brett Piperni
From The Strenuous Life Podcast
TEDx speaker Brett Piperni joins us on The Strenuous Life Podcast to talk about discipline, decision making, and deliberately putting yourself into situations where you have no options other than going forward.
Brett was a nationally ranked Taekwondo competitor who was diagnosed with an illness that crippled him which specialists told him was incurable. He fought through it, returned to competition, and even managed to medal at a national championship again.
This is a great example of the power of the human mind and how martial arts training can literally save your life.
