Chasing Excellence
Ben Bergeron & Patrick CummingsMost 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.

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!

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
