In this episode, Optimal Self Coach, Jeremy Herider, talks about how he discovered, and strives toward, the Optimal Self. Today, Jeremy talks about “the Art of Becoming the Best Version of You”, why it’s important to you but more important to those who look up to you, and why we should prioritise #GenerationalHabits over #GenerationalWealth. Hear about the moment he started re-evaluating his identity, his three most important values, and his advice to his younger self, all on today’s episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast.   Key Takeaways “If I’m going to have success in any endeavour, it’s going to come from what happens when no one’s watching.” “Don’t get your identity caught up in things that are out of your control.” “Integrity is do what you say you’re going to do. Character is ‘be who say you are.’” “You can be what you want to be but, at the same time, not at the expense of someone else.” “If you’re lacking motivation today, normally it’s not lacking motivation, it’s lacking clarity. When you get clear on something, motivation jumps out of you.” “You either give that thing 100% of you, or dont, because 99% wont work.” “You’re leaving something behind whether you like it or not.” “Stay the course. It’s going to take work. Don’t be afraid of the work.”   More about Jeremy Herider Meet Jeremy Herider, life coach, business consultant, professional athlete, podcaster… the list goes on. How can one person even have so many titles? That’s just what you get when you’re living as your Optimal Self. As a pioneer in two professional sports, Jeremy has spent a lifetime building the elite habits necessary to thrive not only in pro sports, but in every other venture that he’s been a part of. Originally from Lancaster, California, Jeremy found his strength as an athlete from an early age. He was a three-sport letterman in high school and an MVP in baseball. He graduated from Gonzaga University where he was an All-Pac10 Infielder. His pro baseball career took off not long after. But his drive didn’t stop there and neither did his list of accomplishments. Jeremy was the first contracted player with the Diamondbacks to get a hit in the history of the organization. He was later drafted by the LA Reign, officially making him a two-sport professional athlete. More recently, Jeremy has been named a CrossFit Champion, taking home 1st Place for the Deadlift/Box Jump event. Of course, now Jeremy has shifted his focus once again as a productivity consultant for Fortune 500 companies, private business coach, and motivational speaker. Jeremy’s Optimal Self Coaching program and podcast boil down this lifetime of achievement into tangible, attainable habits that anyone can adopt for success. No success story, including Jeremy’s, happens by accident.
