Want to build a life and business around doing what you love? Me too. Let’s connect.
How many of us get overwhelmed with all the health advice we hear on a daily basis?
Yes, me too.
But that doesn’t mean we need to tune it out.
In fact, it means we have never had better information available to us about how to take care of our bodies and minds.
I recently got to meet the Editor in Chief of Mens Health Magazine, Bill Phillips (the largest mens magazine in the world).
I immediately connected with him and knew I had to get him on The School of Greatness.
In our conversation we do a deep dive into the issues surrounding men’s health in today’s world and how to simplify taking care of your body.
Bill has an amazing ability to comprehend all the complex ideas, issues, and messages coming at us and pull out the most important ones.
He gives solid advice any man should take (or woman for her man) and also discusses his career leap from editing in the tech side of magazines to the health industry.
One of the most powerful stories he tells is of his own father’s premature death due to stroke and how he has taken measures in his life to protect himself.
Listen up to this powerful conversation about the simple steps we all can take to care for our bodies in Episode 184 with Bill Phillips.
