You never know what you’re made of until you test yourself.

Earn Your Confidence

Many people dream of being a champion. Whether itโ€™s in a sport or business, it takes dedication and time.

My guest today, Jason Khalipa, is a man who has mastered both. Heโ€™s a CrossFit champion many times over and he opened his own successful gym with many locations around the country.

Heโ€™s taken the time to push his element in all areas of life and to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. This skill became so much more valuable when his daughter was diagnosed with one of the scariest diseases I can think of – Leukemia.
