I have listened to Cody for years. After listening to this episode I had to update my review. It has been obvious through the years how self motivated and hard working Cody is! It is so motivating to others. I highly recommend this podcast to everyone whether you are trying to get in shape or just appreciate listening to a passionate business owner. Also, he has a great Youtube channel as well!
Been listening to Cody for years. Had to write a review because he speaks to the self discipline that grows when we work at the edge of discomfort. Choose Hard helps the listener engage in those behaviors and habits that make an essential difference in training and mindset. Thank you, Cody!
As a personal trainer, I find Cody’s podcast incredibly inspiring. His approach aligns with mine on every level—from mindset to training philosophy. I especially appreciate the research breakdowns, Cody—please keep those coming! I'm all about evidence-based programming, and your deep dives into the science help reinforce the knowledge I share with my clients.
Refreshing podcast, has definitely helped me to strengthen my mindset and drive.
Real content to thrive in real everyday life.
