Key Takeaways
Build a superior aerobic base by performing 70-80% of cardiovascular work in 'Zone 2' (roughly 130-140 BPM for most adults), which improves oxygen utilization and recovery.
Cultivate a winning self-identity by consistently completing difficult physical tasks, such as 5:00 AM workouts, to create mental evidence of personal competence that transfers to business.
Protect the 'creative soul' of a brand by hiring a CEO to manage operational burdens like P&L, lawsuits, and logistics once the company reaches a size that distracts from the founder's core passion.
