What does it actually take to build a great life, not just talk about one? In this episode, Jeff speaks with Gabby Reece: pro volleyball legend, fitness coach, and co-founder of Laird Superfood. Together, they explore the unglamorous work behind a life well-lived.

They get into:

  • Sustaining a long-term relationship and business partnership without losing yourself
  • Gabby's training philosophy and why hard physical work builds resilience far beyond the gym
  • The knowing-doing gap: why information alone doesn't change behavior, and what actually does
  • Midlife, imposter syndrome, and gratitude as a daily disposition, not just a feeling

Gabby is one of those rare people with almost no distance between what she believes and what she does. This one is for anyone trying to close the gap between the life they know they want and the one they're actually living.
