031: Mark Bell's Hybrid Athlete Journey - Conquering Powerlifting and Running

In this episode, I sit down with Mark Bell, a hybrid athlete who's shattered records in powerlifting and found new strength in running. Mark founded Super Training Products Inc., a multi-million dollar fitness business, and now hosts the MB Power Project, a leader in health & fitness podcasts.



We delve deep into how incorporating running into his training regimen has not only made him physically stronger but also a better father, husband, and leader. Mark's transformative journey showcases the incredible power of moving on from past identities by having the courage to attempt new things. Enjoy the episode!
