EP69: 75 HARD vs. Ricky and Matt
Episode description
75 HARD is a challenge started by Andy Frisella designed to change your physical and mental discipline. Completing this challenge will show you how to 100x your confidence, self-esteem, self-worth, self-belief, fortitude, and grittiness. The challenge consists of 75 days of 2 45-minute workouts (one being outdoors), 10 pages of non-fiction reading, drinking a gallon of water, following a diet, no cheat meals, no alcohol and take a progress picture. Every. Damn. Day. If you fail, you go back to Day 1.
On May 1st, my friend, Ricky Loudermilk, and I sought out to complete this challenge. I have tried it before in 2021 and failed miserably. Ricky was going in blind. Throughout the process we pushed each other and scratched and clawed until the 75th Day was over. This challenge took discipline, mental toughness, physical strength and confidence.
After successfully completing the challenge, Ricky and I sat down to discuss the outcome of the challenge. We discuss lessons learned, the hardest days and encouragement for anyone who wants to try! Ricky reflects on who he was on a person before Day 1 and how the challenge dramatically changed that. Matt shares how he learned a profound lesson about 75 HARD that completing it was not the end, it was the beginning of living a more successful life.
