Motivation, Discipline & Getting Through Hard Times - Jesse James West (4K)

Thanks for having me on! Really hope this podcast can motivate you all to live your best life!❤🙏

Jesse may be young and a lot of his YT content is on the more fun and silly side but for real, he got me (in my mid thirties) so fired up again for the gym and lifting, his attitude is so fun and infectious, and as someone who always felt way too self conscious he's helped a lot with that attitude of learning how to not give a fuck and just go for it. Thanks for having him on!

"If I can't handle this, I don't deserve what I want." What a quote 👏

I know Jesse from the lacrosse days. Great guy. Go getter. Has always created his own territory. So great to see him at this level

THE GUY WE NEVER KNEW WE NEEDED TO BE INTERVIEWED

It's interesting the people in the comments hating on Jesse. He is very upfront about the fact he had a priveleged upbringing. But that's not all there is. He is motivated, works hard, and despite taking anti depressants is obviously a happy go lucky guy. Chris himself has that mindset as well, you have to accept your path and move forward from there. I think Jesse is a great guy and such a positive person for his generation and for the fitness industry.

Only nearly 30 minutes in and you’ve done it again Chris. As I’m going through the ups and lots of downs in life, i get a little peep of hope as you always manage to address part of the issues i run into during my life over the last 3 years of listening religiously. Thank you Chris for everything you do

As a huge people pleaser myself, one thing I realized is even though it's brutally difficult to advocate for yourself and tell people what you really want, when you do the vast majority of the time you'd be surprised at how much less push back you get compared to what you were agonizing over in your head.

Listening to this... I honestly just wanna give jesse a hug
