In this episode, I interview the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger… at his kitchen table.
In our conversation, we dig into lessons learned, routines, favorite books, and much more, including many stories I’ve never heard anywhere else. I’m also giving away amazing goodies for this episode, so be sure to read this entire post.
As a starting point, we cover:
- The Art of Psychological Warfare, and How Arnold Uses It to Win
- How Twins Became His Most Lucrative Movie (?!?)
- Mailing Cow Balls to Politicians
- How Arnold Made Millions — BEFORE His Acting Career Took Off
- How Arnold Used Meditation For One Year To Reset His Brain
- And Much More…
Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
You can find the transcript of this episode here. Transcripts of all episodes can be found here.
### NOTE: THE BELOW HAS SINCE ENDED. THANKS! ###
I WANT TO GIVE YOU GOODIES:
1) A signed copy of Arnold’s autobiography, Total Recall, personalized for you by Arnold himself.
2) A roundtrip ticket anywhere in the world Continental flies, $1,000 USD cold hard cash, or a long dinner with me in SF (and a flight from anywhere in the domestic US). Pick one of the three.
To get both 1 and 2, all you have to do is this:
