    So You Want Your Pro Card? | Jacob Herrmann Ep.13

    Solo episode today. Tackling a dense topic today, 'So you want to bodybuild' or 'you want to turn pro'. This topic requires honesty and self-awareness to determine how far along you are to being 'pro-worthy'. In my eyes, this should be the goal. Some people turn pro before they're pro-worthy, and others never turn pro but are pro-worthy athletes. The most important thing in my eyes is that you love the process/the game, and that is what drives you, rather than winning.
