Building Resilience and Connecting with Others in Fitness and Life - Chris Liddle
In this episode I sit down with Chris Liddle, who opens up about his unexpected journey into the fitness industry, a path he humorously refers to as his 'quarter-life crisis.' Chris shares the pivotal moments in his life, including a personal tragedy and a significant breakup, which led him to realize the importance of embracing life fully and pursuing a career filled with purpose. This realization prompted him to make a daring move, leaving his warehouse job to pursue his passion as a personal trainer.
Chris delves into the themes of resilience and the power of learning from failures. He talks about how achieving peak performance is not just about physical training, but also involves mental strength, emotional health, and a supportive social network. He highlights how endurance training has shaped his work ethic and mindset, emphasizing the need for patience and trust in one's personal and professional journey.
Additionally, Chris discusses the role of social media in today's world. He believes in its potential as a valuable tool for building connections and helping others. However, he stresses the importance of using it positively and authentically, especially in how we engage with others online.
Chris wraps up the conversation by encouraging listeners to set ambitious goals with definite deadlines. He advocates for having a clear vision and purpose as key drivers of motivation and focus. He even suggests a unique approach to goal-setting: writing a letter to oneself detailing specific aspirations, to be read at a future date, as a method to track progress and boost self-confidence.
