Zack George, one of the world’s top CrossFit athletes, and UK’s Fittest Man 2020 joined in S4 with an incredible story of dramatic change, resilience and hard work. As a child and early teenager, Zack was severely overweight and deeply unhappy in his body. It was his father’s offer of a Playstation to lose some weight that became the catalyst for change in Zack’s life.
The biggest learning Zack wanted to pass on was the confidence he got from being healthy and happy, something that far outweighed any external award.

Zack emphasizes the significance of internal motivation and the confidence gained from being healthy and happy, which he believes outweighs any external awards or achievements. He highlights the importance of setting goals, working towards them, and striving to be the best version of oneself.
The discussion centers around the idea that happiness and fulfillment can be achieved through a combination of self-awareness, goal-setting, and consistent effort. Zack's story serves as an inspiration, demonstrating how a change in mindset and lifestyle can lead to remarkable personal growth and happiness.
The episode also explores the concept of "flow," a state of heightened focus and engagement where time seems to disappear. Zack explains that moments of flow often occur during physical activity or creative pursuits and are associated with increased happiness and well-being.
The hosts encourage listeners to reflect on their own experiences of flow and to seek out activities that bring them joy and a sense of purpose. They emphasize the importance of self-care and taking time to appreciate the positive aspects of life.
Overall, this episode provides valuable insights into the power of internal motivation, the pursuit of happiness, and the importance of finding activities that bring fulfillment and a sense of flow.
