Most people aren't stuck because they lack information. They're stuck because they know what to do and can't quite do it consistently. The slow drift keeps winning.
Chasing Excellence is for people who are already trying — working out, eating well, staying positive — but find themselves in the one-good-week, one-bad-week cycle.

Una fonte di ispirazione continua. Dopo aver letto i libri di Ben e scoperto il suo podcast la mia mentalità è cambiata. La mia vita è migliorata. Io sono migliorato. Per me loro sono un dono! Grazie!
Found this podcast when I was looking for a way out of a dark place.
Introduced me to stoic philosophy and showed me that my mindset (and where I was) wasn’t fixed.
This was back in 2017.
I survived a year I didn’t think I would and I’m still living by those values and principles I sat listening to 7 years ago.
Thanks lads!
Absolute lifesavers

I passionately share the values discussed on this podcast that extend far beyond fitness. The 5 factors have given me a tangible framework for which to intentionally live my life and add value in all of my... more
Ben and Patrick, I love starting my day with listening to Chasing Excellence. It helps me get in a good mindset, calm me, and helps me focus on my intention for the day. I did a member video for our CrossFit gym on morning routines and shared Chasing Excellence as a highlight. I've listened to every episode at least twice. Thank you for the impactful and valuable content and the connection you make available. Although you don’t know me, I feel like I start my day with two supportive friends. I ... more
