This covers why his new book gives exact training plans instead of theory, how his face ended up on an erotic novel cover, leading to book signings with middle-aged women in New York, and why training should be guided by goals, not gender. 00:00 Introduction02:13 Introductions and playful banter between hosts06:12 Children's ambitions and parenting philosophy12:04 Navigating injuries and rapid recovery genetics18:36 Balancing personal growth with busy schedules25:00 Evolving YouTube strategies and keeping content fresh30:00 Pros and cons of managing a clothing brand35:14 Writing a book vs creating other content40:28 Importance of authenticity in social media45:00 Misconceptions about fitness for women51:28 Insight into new book "Fitness Unlocked"1:02:10 Future podcast aspirations and challenges1:11:24 The art of making engaging YouTube content1:15:25 Planning adrenaline-filled future adventures1:30:00 Wrapping up with creative new ventures and Arsenal accolades » Escape the 9-5 & build your dream life - https://www.digitalplaybook.net/» Transform your physique - https://www.thrstapp.com/» My clothing brand, THRST - https://thrstofficial.com/» Discover Bioniq Lab peptide products- https://bioniqlab.com/mike1010% off with code MIKE10 » Join our newsletter for actionable insights from every episode: https://thrst-letter.beehiiv.com/ » Join Whoop and get your first month for free - join.whoop.com/FirstThingsThrst » Follow MattInstsagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattdoesfitness/?hl=enWebsite: www.morsialtd.com

    E140 - Billionaires Brutal Lessons On Wealth, Discipline & Building From Nothing

    » Produced by Hack You Media: pioneering a new category of content at the intersection of health performance, entrepreneurship & cognitive optimisation. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hackyoumedia/ Website: https://hackyou.media/ Gediminas Ziemelis is Lithuania's wealthiest entrepreneur, who started his first business at 19, and this conversation reveals what separates founders from managers, why treating business like a three-life computer game keeps him motivated, and how being born in a small country forced him to think globally from day one. Gediminas explains growing up in the Soviet Union where businessmen were criminals, how poverty and limitation shaped his drive to be rich, and why selling his first company at 27 pushed him toward building something unrepeatable in aviation. The key insight: work-life balance doesn't exist when building something big; your lifestyle becomes the business, and you risk everything while managers sell hours for the highest price with no social life at stake. This covers why he has four assistants but stays hands-on daily, how spending money on relationships beats marketing, and why the only thing he fears is losing motivation. 00:00 Gediminas Ziemelis Introduction 04:47 Early business endeavours in post-Soviet Lithuania 10:19 Importance of international business for Lithuanian entrepreneurs 15:28 First IPO and stepping into diverse business sectors 20:30 Entering aviation amidst challenges and opportunities 26:46 Overcoming financial crises in business 34:25 Global thinking and expanding aviation business 43:54 Dedication to Avia Solution Group and future plans 47:54 Passion and motivation in business pursuits 54:18 Importance of networking and relationships in business 59:53 Expanding interests beyond aviation, including AI and numbers 01:05:09 Space industry insights and potential future ventures 01:10:19 Reflections on health, AI, and personal discipline 01:14:36 Final advice for aspiring entrepreneurs on collaboration and planning » Escape the 9-5 & build your dream life - https://www.digitalplaybook.net/ » Transform your physique - https://www.thrstapp.com/ » My clothing brand, THRST - https://thrstofficial.com » Custom Bioniq supplements: https://www.bioniq.com/mikethurston • 40% off your first month of Bioniq GO • 20% off your first month of Bioniq PRO » Join our newsletter for actionable insights from every episode: https://thrst-letter.beehiiv.com/ » Join Whoop and get your first month for free - join.whoop.com/FirstThingsThrst » Follow Gediminas YouTube: youtube.com/gediminasziemelis-official LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/gediminasziemelis

    Rob Oliver is a content creator and DJ who went all-in on house music, and this conversation reveals why Miami is optimised for spending not building, how the music industry is surprisingly political, and why pursuing what you love gives energy instead of draining it.
