Entrepreneur and author Brian Andrews of EFX Sports joins CJ and Aaron for an “After Hours” chat on what it really takes to WIN - repeatedly. We unpack Brian’s champion mindset, the practical 4 D’s that drive progress (Deadlines, Discipline, Discomfort, Dedication), and why some people aren’t just afraid to fail… they’re afraid to succeed. We also hit simple health levers busy founders can pull (sleep, movement, hydration) and a plain-English take on fast vs. slow carbs for steadier energy during training.
In this episode:
Potential × Progress = Winning
Turning failure into fertilizer (and spotting fear of success)
The 4 D’s engine for momentum
Health basics for builders (that don’t require a 2-hour morning routine)
“Fuel without the crash” - understanding carb timing & glycogen
