Ep. 35: Rob Arpa - Getting Out Of Your Comfort Zone

“Anyone that’s achieved anything of any value was not in a comfortable situation.”

Life is hard, and there are so many ways to dull the pain. Comfort is too easy to find. But then you’re just running from the front lines of your life.

That’s why we created the Battle Ready program. And that’s why Andy Frisella created 75 HARD. Because we can truly step up and serve our families and communities when we live life with discipline, tolerance, and endurance.

Learn more about 75 HARD at https://andyfrisella.com/pages/75hard-info.

And learn more about the Battle Ready program, the Sovereign Circle, and the Sovereign Man Movement at https://www.sovereignman.ca/. While you’re there, check out the store for Sovereign Man t-shirts, hats, and books.
