A New Podcast


The Arnold is at it again. I've found his daily newsletter and podcast to be positive and inspiring as it relates to physical and mental well-being. The newsletter gained 600k followers in less than a year and it's not hard to see why. It may be a worthwhile 5 minute daily investment of your time.
