Can You Still Crush It at 40? Mindset Over Muscle!

Are you wondering if you’ve still got what it takes to dominate at 40? Dive into this powerful episode of The Jason Khalipa Podcast, where hosts Jason Khalipa and Gabe Yanez unpack raw truths about aging, fitness, and mental strength in Episode 182.

In this episode, we explore pushing physical limits with a Half Iron Man, the power of reconnecting with buddies for a boost, and how wisdom can outshine raw energy as you grow older. We tackle fatherhood challenges, the drive to build a strong family, and why mental grit matters more than muscle when life throws punches. From battling business setbacks to supporting each other as men, this episode is packed with real talk for dads ready to rise.
