EFR 541: Trading Addiction for Fitness and Finding True Inner Strength with John Wolf

<p>In today’s conversation, John Wolf shares a journey that saw him emerge from the depths of grief and loss to undergo a holistic transformation that ultimately led him to be the Chief Fitness Officer at Onnit.</p> <p>Having lost many of the people closest to him early in his life, John quickly found himself descending down a path of drug addiction. He talks about the years of <em>inner work</em> that he did (and continues to do) to maintain his self-worth, as well as the <em>outer work</em> he underwent to rebuild his body and indirectly build stronger belief systems as a result.</p> <p>John rediscovered his passion for fitness and martial arts down the road. Trading one “addiction” for another, John saw exercise as a way to continually reforge and optimize not only his body, but his entire being.</p> <p>In training his clients at Onnit, John uses an approach he calls “conscious coaching” that leads them into a state of flow “where skill and effort intersect.”</p> <p>To John, “ever forward” is a matter of maintaining this <em>flow</em>, of staying laser-focused on your <em>purpose</em> while staying receptive to continuous learning and growth.</p> <p> </p> <p>Follow John <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/coachjohnwolf/">@coachjohnwolf</a></p> <p>Follow Chase <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/chase_chewning">@chase_chewning</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong><em>Episode resources:</em></strong></p> <ul> <li>Save 20% on your entire first purchase from Legion Athletics with code EVERFORWARD at <a href= "https://bit.ly/2LmdpUr">www.LegionAthletics.com</a> </li> <li>Save 20% on every purchase from Organifi with code EVERFORWARD at <a href= "http://organifi.com/everforward/">www.Organifi.com/everforward</a> </li> <li>Watch the video and learn more about John at <a href= "https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/541">https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/541</a> </li> </ul>
