The Adversity Advantage with Doug Bopst


Jul 7, 2022

Today’s guest is fitness icon, Mark Bell. You may recognize Mark from his popular podcast, which I was fortunate to be a guest on or from his innovative fitness products, or perhaps from his entertaining social media content. But Mark is so much more than that. He is one of the most respected people in the health and fitness space and has tons of life lessons and wisdom as well as an incredible story to share which we are going to unpack today.    

We talk about body transformation, how one can stay consistent to achieve a fit body, mastering patience and calmness daily, forming habits that promote self respect, the challenges of parenthood, and so much more!
