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 — Fresh Off The Boat — BEFORE His Acting Career Took Off

How Arnold Used Meditation For One Year To Reset His Brain

And Much More…
