Welcome to another powerful episode of Live Well and Thrive. I’m honored to
welcome back my longtime friend, Sebastian Siegel, a remarkable talent and
a true embodiment of commitment and discipline.
In this episode, Sebastian and I explore the deep connection between
bodybuilding, work ethic, and success in life. From his early years in
fitness to his evolution as a filmmaker and spiritual leader, Sebastian
shares how the dedication he learned through training has influenced every
aspect of his life. We talk about the importance of follow-through—whether
in the gym or in real life—and how that level of commitment can shape who
you become.
We also touch on the current state of bodybuilding and the alarming trend
of excessive drug use, contrasting today’s scene with the classic physiques
of legends like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Frank Zane. Sebastian brings his
unique perspective on staying balanced and grounded in a sport that often
pushes people to extremes.
On top of that, we dive into Sebastian’s acclaimed film Grace and Grit, a
project that reflects his passion for storytelling and perseverance. It’s
inspiring to hear how he’s applied the same principles of focus and
resilience from bodybuilding to filmmaking, creating a movie that touches
audiences across the world.
Tune in as we discuss what it really means to live with purpose, stay
disciplined, and inspire others to follow their path. It’s an episode full
of insights for anyone striving to better themselves. Be sure to share it
with someone who could use a bit of motivation today!
