When we think about the athletic kids growing up, one would probably not expect that they would deal with insecurity about their weight or physique, but for Zach Hose, that simply wasn't the case. After injuries took him out of sports in his teenage years, Zach found himself overweight and with a desire to improve himself, and for the past decade, has learned a lot when it comes to taking care of his physical & mental health. That's the story he shares with us today, and his thoughts on finding the balance between appreciating where you are (self-love) and a desire to improve (ambition), learning to be attached to nothing, and knowing when to tell yourself to shut the f*ck up. Zach is also a personal friend and fellow podcaster, hosting The ZAP! Podcast focused on passion which I was fortunate enough to be on several months ago.
