During a New York blizzard with over a foot of snow, 12-degree temperatures, and relentless snowfall, my strength and conditioning coach John Moljo put out a challenge:
999 calories on the air bike. Outside. In a blizzard. One sitting.
John creates environments that demands more of you, not for ego, but for growth. I set a personal goal to finish in under 85 minutes, and that became my focus.
This wasn’t about fitness. It was about choosing discomfort on purpose.
I believe that every time we step outside our comfort zone and follow through, we gain something far more valuable than the result, we gain evidence. Evidence that we can do hard things which turns into confidence. That confidence isn’t imagined; it’s earned.
That’s how capacity grows.
That’s how momentum starts.
At Empowered Mastery, we don’t pursue comfort, we pursue growth through challenge. And experiences like this remind us that when you finish something difficult, the next challenge no longer feels impossible. That is why were are working on creating an event that will take professionals and entrepreneurs on an extreme adventure designed to take you way out of your comfort zone; to see and do things you never thought you would. That is building confidence!
