This is part 2 of the two-part series on THE FEAR OF BECOMING DECREPIT. Do check out the first episode before this one for the whole context.
In this episode, Kevin and I continue on our discussion and discuss my recovery process from the ostomy surgery and the main takeaways from the whole event. What I learned and what this Old Guy would advise others about life.
We chat about purpose and what kept me going and made me jump right back at it even while I was recovering. And how this whole incident helped me highten my purpose.
We also briefly toched on the topic of testosterone treatment and how it helped me recover quicker than a normal patient and what we can learn from it.
Moreover, we also talked about fear and pain as motivators. How we use it in the Standard Academy course and how they can help you as well. All this and a lot more in this episode of "Old Guy Talks To Me"
We also discuss my love for Cigar and Scotch. How it helped me socialise, best time to visit a cigar bar, and even how to hold a cigar. All this and a lot more in this episode of "Old Guy Talks To Me"
