The Meat Mafia Podcast
Transforming Challenges into Achievements: The Marathon Mindset
This chapter highlights an individual's remarkable journey in endurance running over the past year, including completing two marathons and an intense three marathons in three days challenge. It emphasizes the power of mindset in overcoming daunting goals and reframing challenges to make them feel more achievable.
Returning guest Zach Pogrob joins us on the pod today.
Zach Pogrob is a creator and influencer, known for his raw & authentic writing and now famous association with the word 'obsession'.
Zach has amassed a following of over 1.4 million on Instagram by embodying and promoting the idea of obsession as a transformative force in life, which he is currently embodying through running.
Zach's journey from a relatively unknown individual to a widely recognized figure has been quite extraordinary. As you'll hear in this episode, this was not an overnight success, and we're of the personal belief few people walk the walk better than this man.
Key topics discussed:
- The transformative power of obsession and its impact on personal growth.
- Running and endurance training as tools for self-discovery and pushing personal limits.
- The role of solitude in developing confidence and self-awareness.
- Overcoming imposter syndrome and the importance of authenticity.
- Building a movement by embodying and leading with one's ideas.

CarnivoreCrowd - CrowdHealth
The CarnivoreCrowd over at CrowdHealth is bringing together metabolically healthy people to share in medical expenses. It's incredible. They're providing an alternative to health care coverage in the form of a community-based approach. It's pretty simple - you pay a monthly fee and then when your medical expenses come up you simply cover them with cash (which is often times 50% less) and then the crowd bands together and splits those costs through a crowdfunding model. We've both used this service for the last two years and love it.
Check out their new CarnivoreCrowd and if you sign up be sure to use code MEATMAFIA for a discount on your first 3 months!
We Feed Raw
I've been a dog owner for the last two years and I can confidently say that nothing has made a bigger difference than feeding my dog, Sunny, raw food. I've been feeding her We Feed Raw for the last 18 months and Sunny has transformed into the healthiest dog I've possibly ever seen (I am biased though). If you're a dog owner who's tired of feeding their dog kibble, check out We Feed Raw and use code MEAT to get 30% off.
