Doug Bopst is an award-winning personal trainer, author, speaker and podcast host. But before all that...Doug was formerly a felon and drug addict, sentenced to months in jail due to being found guilty of “possession with intent to sell.”

Doug's time in prison inspired him to become a better version of himself, and in practice, turn his own adversity into his advantage. Now, he interviews people from all walks of life on how they have turned their trials into triumphs and the exact tips, methods and tactics they used.

In this episode, Doug shares his life story, how he learned to shift his mindset on life's challenges, the power of sitting with your emotions, and of course, what brings Doug endorphins every day.

Everyday Endorphins will be #intentionallyresting for a few months....surprise! But don't worry, I'm not going anywhere for too long. In this solo episode, I sit down to discuss:


Why I'm taking a brief break from releasing episodes on the podcast, and what might be next for Everyday Endorphins
My understanding of intentional rest, and how this allows us to take one step back (and not guilt yourself in doing so) so that you can move two steps forward
The difference between laziness, procrastination, and resting with intention
How we can reframe time off and taking a beat as a way to help energize us
What I plan to do during this period of intentional rest, and how I want to re-integrate certain passions in my life that bring me endorphins
