In the latest episode of Superhuman Entrepreneur, host Matt Accurso welcomes the legendary Greg Amundson, a figure synonymous with resilience and transformation. Known as CrossFit's original firebreather and a former DEA special agent, Greg shares profound insights on self-leadership, discipline, and the power of the mind.

From CrossFit to Inner Strength
Greg Amundson didn't just walk into the first CrossFit gym; he found a mentor in Coach Glassman, whose leadership filled the void left by his father's passing. "The greatest adaptation to CrossFit will take place between your ears," Glassman once told Greg. This revelation shifted Greg's focus from physical prowess to mental strength, highlighting the symbiotic relationship between the mind and body.

Commitment: The Warrior's Path
For Greg, commitment is a martial term, symbolizing the courage to close the distance between clashing swords. He emphasizes that true commitment invites the universe to conspire on our behalf. This philosophy extends to his daily life, where seeking God remains his unwavering priority. "Love God with all your heart... and everything else will be added to you," he quotes, echoing the teachings of Jesus and Stephen Covey alike.

Discipline and the Art of Being a Disciple
Greg's perspective on discipline is transformative. "We're all disciplined; it's about what we are disciplined to," he asserts. His approach is not just about routine but about aligning one's discipline with what truly matters. This alignment forms the backbone of his latest book, "The Warrior and the Monk," which invites readers to explore the ultimate treasure within.

The Creative Process: A Divine Zip File
Writing "The Warrior and the Monk" was a spiritual journey for Greg. He describes receiving a "zip file" from God, which he methodically unpacked through meditation and creativity. This process, devoid of rigid formulas, underscores the importance of tapping into our inner child and the boundless creativity it harbors. "To enter the kingdom of God, you have to become like a little child," Greg reminds us.

Morning Routines and Sacred Silence
Greg's morning routine begins with silence, a sacred practice that transitions from sleep's tranquility into a day of intentional living. He emphasizes the power of "first words," setting a trajectory aligned with divine will. His nutrient-rich smoothie, a staple since 2001, is a testament to his commitment to quality and gratitude, blessed through prayer.

Conclusion: The Path of Righteousness
Greg Amundson's journey is a testament to the transformative power of discipline, commitment, and faith. His story within "The Warrior and the Monk" encourages us to turn inward, discovering that the greatest treasures lie within. As he astutely puts it, "The presence of God is always there... you just have to become present to the presence of God."
