Ep 83: Lessons From A 20-Year Entrepreneurial Journey w/ Mike Westerdal

Mike Westerdal is the Founder and CEO of Critical Bench, the world's #1 leading strength & authority on the internet. After developing a passion for strength training while in college, he built a small website for a bench press program as a final class project. 

 

What started as a class project has developed into a movement that has reached and inspired millions of people over the last 2 decades. Over 3500 YouTube videos, 850,000+ YouTube subscribers, hundreds of programs created, and hundreds of thousands of customers. 

 

Mike is also a co-host on the Strong By Design podcast. 

 

In this episode Mike and I discuss the early years of Critical Bench, talk about when an entrepreneur should go "all-in" on their business, the importance of masterminds and networks, the idea of "Big Rocks" and planning your days, and how everything in life is influenced by both your internal and external influences.
