Do You Want To Change Your Life? Watch This First. | Entrepreneur Michael Chernow

What do you do when life completely falls apart? Michael Chernow’s answer: you build it back, one healthy habit at a time. This episode will meet you where you are, then show you how to move forward with discipline and results.

Michael Chernow is a serial entrepreneur, founder of The Meatball Shop, Seamore’s, and Kreatures of Habit, host of the Kreatures of Habit Podcast, and a professional athlete and coach. But, his real story starts with addiction, trauma, and a decision to change his life, one small step at a time.

Mercedes and Anastasia sit down with Michael to unpack the powerful mindset shifts behind his transformation — from flatlining after a heroin overdose to building a life grounded in structure, family, and joy. This episode isn’t about recovery; it’s about how anyone can rewire their routines, build real resilience, and achieve anything through small and attainable changes.

Get ready to learn:

– The first step to making a change in your life.

– What to do when motivation disappears.

– Hacks to rewire your habits.

– Michael's cookie-cutter morning routine + non-negotiables.

– Tips for 'off-days'.

Whether you’re stuck, starting over, or simply ready to feel better in your body and mind, Michael’s story will challenge you, move you, and leave you with a clear path to a life that feels as good as it looks.
