  6. Mindset, Solitude and The Cost of Winning - Live Podcast with Jurins Kengamu 63

    09/01/2025

    Mindset, Solitude and The Cost of Winning - Live Podcast with Jurins Kengamu 63

    This episode’s format, as you’ll notice, is a bit different to the usual podcast episodes and that’s because this was my first live podcast with an audience. It was at Rob Palmer’s powerlifting seminar and the theme of the seminar was mindset and adversity. So in this episode I asked Jurins specific questions in relation to those topics, and on top of that Jurins talks about solitude, the cost of winning and setting boundaries in his life. I hope you enjoy the episode, and remember, you make you. https://www.instagram.com/jkeng88?igsh=eWl3NW43ejZtcGNl https://www.instagram.com/949strength?igsh=MTg4bWptejY3ZzdqNg==
