#135: "The Sh!t No One Wants To Hear" - Author, Steve Safranek

Positive Impact with Andrew Schultz

"How can you die well?" -Steve Safranek That was the question Steve posed to our audience in today's podcast episode. Most of us think of death as negative and too morbid. On the contrary! Steve and I discuss how this question is critical to living a deep, meaningful, and fulfilling life. Did we live? Did we love? Did we matter? From Frito-Lay, to full wheel pose, Steve takes us on a ride of how his book came to fruition - including the journey from football field, to the corporate world, to personal training and the yoga mat. Steve is embodying the mature masculinity and giving us other men permission to forego the 9-5, cush corporate job, salary, benefits, 401(k), bonus, ultra-competitive, zero-sum "I win-you lose", and keeping up with the Jones's mentality into something much greater.... In this episode, we also discuss the importance of therapy, mental wellness, and different ways to investing in our health - our greatest wealth. We chat about nutrition, movement, meditation, breath work, and other self care modalities to help level-up. We also cover the benefits of being well-read and how much we can learn simply by reading. Highly recommend you buying Steve's book, ""The Sh!t No One Wants To Hear", on amazon today. And if you want to connect directly with me, send me a DM, @Positive_Impact_Andrew on IG.
