EP69: 75 HARD vs. Ricky and Matt Jul 20, 2022

Show notes

75 HARD is a challenge started by Andy Frisella designed to change your physical and mental discipline. Completing this challenge will show you how to 100x your confidence, self-esteem, self-worth, self-belief, fortitude, and grittiness. The challenge consists of 75 days of 2 45-minute workouts (one being outdoors), 10 pages of non-fiction reading, drinking a gallon of water, following a diet, no cheat meals, no alcohol and take a progress picture. Every. Damn. Day. If you fail, you go back to Day 1. On May 1st, my friend, Ricky Loudermilk, and I sought out to complete this challenge. I have tried it before in 2021 and failed miserably. Ricky was going in blind. Throughout the process we pushed each other and scratched and clawed until the 75th Day was over. This challenge took discipline, mental toughness, physical strength and confidence. After successfully completing the challenge, Ricky and I sat down to discuss the outcome of the challenge. We discuss lessons learned, the hardest days and encouragement for anyone who wants to try! Ricky reflects on who he was on a person before Day 1 and how the challenge dramatically changed that. Matt shares how he learned a profound lesson about 75 HARD that completing it was not the end, it was the beginning of living a more successful life. In this episode of the Define Success Podcast, Ricky and Matt discuss:

Biggest takeaways from 75 HARD
Our cheat meal cravings throughout the challenge
Who we were on Day 1 compared to Day 75
The moments where we almost failed
What inspired us to start 75 HARD
How this challenge relates to defining and achieving success
Big achievements

Fighting self-doubt
Making incredible physical and mental gains

EP68: Do THIS For a More Productive Morning Jul 18, 2022

Show notes

Each morning you wake up with new opportunities. The outlook of your day is determinant on how you spend your first moments. Do you wake in the morning and instantly check your phone, emails or the news? Or do you stay away from technology, move your body and put yourself in a position to grow? Too many people fall in the former group. The latter group is filled with individuals who already have an advantage of you that day and are in a better position to complete tasks, live a healthy lifestyle and reach their goals. Although these people may hold the same goals, the same job, etc, the difference maker is their morning routine. Many people may tell you to wake up at 4am, 5am, or 6am. Hours that people would never set their alarm for unless an absolute necessity. Although waking up when the rest of the world is sleeping has a lot of merit, it is not necessary. What is more important is completing a morning routine, regardless of the time you wake up. This routine is unique to you. It can be 20 minutes or 2 hours. It can include a heavy lifting session or 20 minutes of meditation. It can include yoga or time blocking. The contents and length of your morning routing are up to YOU. However, there is a method that you should follow as the mare minimum. Introducing the PEAK method. This 4-prong method will ensure that your day starts on the path of success. P - Plan/Prepare

The P in the PEAK Method stands for Plan or Prepare. This means that you should create structure for your day in the form of time blocking, a to-do list or building a calendar.

E - Educate

The E in the PEAK Method stands for Educate. Start your morning by strengthening your brain with a informational podcast, book or YouTube video.

A - Activity

The A in the PEAK Method stands for Activity. Moving your body in the morning in the form of any exercise will boost your energy, productivity and overall health.

K - KILL

The K in the Peak Method stands for Kill. You have big goals and a busy day ahead of you. Attack your day with urgency and kill any task in front of you!

EP66: Your Lack of Discipline is Holding You Back! Jul 11, 2022

Show notes

Everyone gets motivated. Everyone wants to put in the work when it is convenient for them. Everyone loves the "idea" of success. However, many people fold when the motivation runs out, when it is not convenient for them, when they do not want to put in the work to achieve success. This is discipline. Discipline is putting in the work that you need to put in, even when you do not want to. And your lack of discipline is holding you back. Discipline is an art. It is the Swiss army knife that is versatile and necessary to complete many jobs. Most of us don't have that tool in the shed. Or it is not sharpened. If this is you, you are in the right place. Discipline is the best way to achieve success, build confidence and get sh*t done! In this episode of the Define Success Podcast, we discuss:

What discipline is and why it is important
Wake up call for the lazy
Lessons learned from Tartar tribes
How discipline can change every aspect of your life
Daily Non-Negotiable List
Power List to create every night

EP64: Today Matters Jun 27, 2022

Show notes

"You can pay now and play later, or you can play now and pay later. But either way, you are going to have to pay". This excellent quote was provided by John C. Maxwell in his book, Today Matters: 12 Daily Practices to Guarantee Tomorrow's Success". This quote expands on the principle that today is important for your future. Your actions today will determine if your future is filled with success, or failure. Which path are you headed on based on your daily actions? In this episode, host Matt Lupi provides you with a call to action to make today count. On the journey to success, a fee must be paid. Dues are collected. You can either choose to pay these dues now while you are still young, hungry and full of energy OR you can defer these dues until later in life, filling your days with stress, unfulfillment and worry. Either way, you have to pay. Would you rather pay now and play later, or play now and pay later? Many people desire success but lack the work ethic that success requires. Each day, we can pay dues toward our finances, mindset, education, relationships, emotions, spirituality and more. Investing in these critical areas of life now will blossom into future success, where you can then play freely. Rather than taking vacations while work still clouds your mind and brings you stress, you can instead live freely and do what you want, when you want, with who you want, if you just make the decision to pay your dues NOW. In this episode, Matt discusses:

The importance of paying now, instead of playing
Ways to pay your dues NOW and every day
How to become proactive, rather than reactive
The benefit of playing later, without stress and obligation
A visualization exercise
The expense of success increases with your age
4-step plan of action to make today matter

EP63: Attack Your Life with Urgency w/ Rich Cardona Jun 22, 2022

Show notes

For the last quarter century, Rich Cardona has either been working, advancing his education, or serving our country. Throughout that time, Rich has always had a voice in his head saying, "You aren't even reaching your full potential." Rich found my that after successfully retiring from the Marine Corps in 2015 the reality is that often times he was disinterested, distracted, and ambivalent. He was meandering through life. Upon retirement, Rich had the thought that "nobody would give a sh*t that I flew a $24m aircraft", which led him to a short career with Amazon. In June 2018, he uprooted his life (and family) and ventured out into an unfamiliar landscape; entrepreneurship. And now, he shares how he has absolute and total responsibility for everything wonderful, terrible, and unexpected that results of this life altering decision. Throughout the next steps in his life, Rich has had a lot of experience in leadership. Despite this, he felt as if he was "just a number" working at Amazon and reflects how this "was a very unsettling feeling". Rich got tired of this after he saw his life moving in a negative direction. He then created a sense of urgency in his life and left. He now specializes in creating personal branding content for personnel and leaders. He strives to engage in authentic and candid chats that can allow audiences to see the makeup of companies' most influential personnel. In this new space, Rich feels fulfilled, satisfied and successful. And he is here to show us how to accomplish the same. Together, Rich and Matt discuss: - Lessons learned from the Marine Corps - Taking the next step in your career - Bringing leadership to any role, boosting your teams productivity - "Run the race that you're in" - How and why to create more urgency your life - How to identify "fakers" and why hard work outlasts all - Looking at what lies ahead in your life - Develop the belief that you can create something - Rich's definition of success - MUCH More! ------- Save on groceries with INSTACART: Instacart - Home Save 15% on all STRONG COFFEE products using code 'SUCCESS' Strong Coffee Company - The World's Premier On-the-Go Coffee Save on all CURED Products using code 'MATT' or: CURED Nutrition: Cannabinoid, Mushroom and Adaptogen Supplements Get a free trial with Audible: https://www.audible.com/ep/creator?source_code=PDTGBPD060314004R&irclickid=Qprz83RHKxyLR2JwUx0Mo389UkGRPA2VRzLo0A0&irgwc=1 SUBSCRIBE to the Define Success Podcast on any podcast platform: The Define Success Podcast with Matt Lupi on Apple Podcasts FOLLOW us on Instagram: The Define Success Podcast (@definesuccess_pod) • Instagram photos and videos Follow Matt on Instagram: Matt Lupi (@matt__lupi) • Instagram photos and videos Leave a 5-star RATING on Spotify: The Define Success Podcast with Matt Lupi | Podcast on Spotify
