In this episode, we sit down with Mark Bell.. elite powerlifter, inventor of the Slingshot, and host of the Power Project Podcast. Known for his raw honesty and relentless discipline, Mark has spent decades exploring what it means to build true strength, not just in the gym, but in every corner of life. From setting world records on the platform to building one of the most influential fitness brands in America, Mark's story is one of constant evolution. We talk about: How to develop discipline when motivation dies Why simplicity beats complexity in both training and business The role of pain, suffering, and consistency in long-term growth What it takes to navigate the world of nutrition The nuance of sugar fasting This conversation cuts through the noise. No gimmicks, no fake gurus, just hard-earned wisdom from a man who's been in the trenches. Mark reminds us that strength is more than muscle. It's the courage to keep showing up, the humility to learn, and the discipline to stay grounded when everyone else is distracted.
