Welcome to another powerful episode of Live Well and Thrive. I’m honored to welcome back my longtime friend, Sebastian Siegel, a remarkable talent and a true embodiment of commitment and discipline.
In this episode, Sebastian and I explore the deep connection between bodybuilding, work ethic, and success in life. From his early years in fitness to his evolution as a filmmaker and spiritual leader, Sebastian shares how the dedication he learned through training has influenced every aspect of his life. We talk about the importance of follow-through—whether in the gym or in real life—and how that level of commitment can shape who you become.
We also touch on the current state of bodybuilding and the alarming trend of excessive drug use, contrasting today’s scene with the classic physiques of legends like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Frank Zane. Sebastian brings his unique perspective on staying balanced and grounded in a sport that often pushes people to extremes.
On top of that, we dive into Sebastian's acclaimed film Grace and Grit, a project that reflects his passion for storytelling and perseverance. It’s inspiring to hear how he’s applied the same principles of focus and resilience from bodybuilding to filmmaking, creating a movie that touches audiences across the world.
Tune in as we discuss what it really means to live with purpose, stay disciplined, and inspire others to follow their path. It’s an episode full of insights for anyone striving to better themselves. Be sure to share it with someone who could use a bit of motivation today!
