Our hosts David and Phil Ngo take Episode 15 to interview Jonathan Epstein, founder of the Let's Fucking Go mentality.
Jonny explains why destructive habits like creating excuses for yourself or taking shortcuts in life create a life of unhappiness (2:15).
Happiness really begins with taking care of yourself (4:13).
Jonny explains how he realized from a business conference that he was poisoning his body with alcohol and bad food. He required a detox and a change in his lifestyle habits to start caring for himself and his health. “I’m doing this for myself, I need to fix myself.” (5:00).
He started to realize the positive change his habits had on his health before it became a larger issue. Jonny explains how setting timelines and goals for yourself is how you achieve it (9:40).
"You have to be your own cheerleader." If you don’t appreciate yourself, you’re depending on other people giving you attention for what you’re doing and that will eventually fade (13:00).
Jonny then explains how the pandemic had originally concerned him and his ability to stay focused while maintain his achievements (13:42).
Despite the pandemic, he focused on how to keep this routine going (15:55).
Jonny explains what is missing as part of the process was consistently having goals. It is just as important to level up your life, not just staying complacent once you achieve previous milestones (17:55).
Jonny explains how to compete against yourself. His running journey began and helped develop this LFG Mentality we know today (19:20).
Jonny realizes evolution in how he views and deals with problems. He learned to incorporate tools to deal with emotions and pressures of his personal life (21:03).
Jonny learned what it’s like to learn how to be upset without having it affect other parts of his life. Keep moving forward. Progress over perfection (24:00).
Jonny shares the story of how David got involved with running and achieving the LFG mentality by understanding that glass ceilings he set for himself was the problem. Your mind is what’s stopping you (27:05).
Eventually, it got to a point where Jonny was excited to see other people achieving their goals (32:50).
Jonny explains how the extended lockdowns created an opportunity to help others get through their own pandemic ruts (33:21).
How did the running group got start? It lead to a group of people becoming inspired to achieve goals and competing against yourself (36:25).
The LFG mentality and how it came to be today (40:06).
David was originally hesitant about joining the group. All it took was understanding (40:46).
How the structure of LFG got to what it is today. Now we’re on to Challenge 5 which brings the community to the next level (42:22).
Jonny explains the community guidelines. Why it’s important to define your own goals and put yourself out of your comfort zone (43:02).
"It’s better to try and fail than to never try at all." The lack of accomplishment is what puts people in the rut. You need to get yourself out of it. It’s up to you to figure out how to get back up (44:42).
We are creating a community of like-minded people (47:09).
Jonny shares some success stories of the LFG challenge (49:59).
Inspire and motivate others. Ignore the haters (54:58).
