While intense physical exertion can build character, the transcendent joy of movement matters too. So how do you unlock the happiness, freedom and childlike wonder that exercise offers?

On this episode of The Blueprint, pro cyclist turned podcaster Anthony Walsh joins me to discuss leveraging fitness for fulfillment beyond sculpted physiques. We also discuss aligning your life and schedule with your values and what matters most.
