  • Purposeful Podcast!

    Been listening to Cody for years. Had to write a review because he speaks to the self discipline that grows when we work at the edge of discomfort. Choose Hard helps the listener engage in those behaviors and habits that make an essential difference in training and mindset. Thank you, Cody!

    As a personal trainer, I find Cody’s podcast incredibly inspiring. His approach aligns with mine on every level—from mindset to training philosophy. I especially appreciate the research breakdowns, Cody—please keep those coming! I'm all about evidence-based programming, and your deep dives into the science help reinforce the knowledge I share with my clients.

  • Very Good

    My first listen was the dairy and beef farmer interviews. I don’t eat meat/am in the UK and was going to pass on by it but it was an excellent episode and will make me go into the other episodes. Very well done all involved.
