Show Notes
Matt Vincent is a two time Highland Games World Champion and the founder of the successful brand HVIII Brand Goods that helps people eliminate the bullsh*t in their lives through movement, mindset, and motivation.
After going through various adversities (he had nine knee surgeries as well as a total knee replacement) and enduring excruciating pain, he found beauty in the simplicities that his new life offered.
After his father died, Matt realized that the time we have left on Earth is finite, and precious. He now lives every day as if it was his last. He's no longer identifying as just an athlete. Competing with others is now in the rearview mirror, he's in competition only with himself. To be better, bolder, and wiser.
In this episode, we're discussing how stress can benefit us, the importance of being honest with ourselves and other people, and how taking ownership of our lives is a pathway to boundless personal growth.
