I need to confess, I’m a big “thinker”. It’s been my biggest asset yet at the same time my heaviest anchor. Now, over a decade in this journey of weight loss, physique, health, fitness (I don’t even know what to call it anymore), because of my “big thinking” I tend to think outside the “now”, […]

I first heard the term “aggressive patience” while listening to the MFCEO podcast by Andy Frisella. When he mentioned it, it was about starting a company and making millions.
