Author: Kulbors Productions January 25, 2024 Duration: 40:30

We are ⁠⁠Julius (37)⁠⁠ from Germany and ⁠⁠Mars (40) ⁠⁠from the Netherlands. We are married, have children, and are entrepreneurs with our partners.

In this episode we talk about the past week, unfortunately, Mars is a bit under the weather on his week off and has to rethink his workout plans accordingly, he is alone with his dog and child, so the challenge is even greater. We also talk about our books, what we regret most in our lives so far, emotional communication with our children, what's great about being a father, and what we weren't told before when it comes to fatherhood.

Julius' challenges include a 45-minute indoor workout, a 45-minute outdoor workout, reading ten pages of a non-fiction book, taking a daily photo, no junk food or alcohol, drinking 3.8l of water, and a vegan diet.

Mars is committed to completing a full workout daily, drinking three liters of water, reading ten pages of non-fiction, no junk food or alcohol, eating a healthy and wholesome diet, and completing a daily mindfulness exercise.

There’s a raw, unfiltered honesty to Fatherly Grit: Thriving Through 75 Hard that pulls you right into the daily grind. This isn’t just a chronicle of a fitness challenge; it’s a candid audio journal about what it really means to commit to something difficult while balancing everything else. In the first season, Julius navigated the 75 Hard Challenge with all its stumbles and hard-won victories, offering a genuine look at the process. Now, he’s joined by Marcel, and the dynamic shifts. Together, they’re tackling the program as a duo, using the structure of the challenge as a springboard for much broader conversations. Each episode becomes a space where they work through the demands of life, work, family, and relationships in real time, all while holding each other accountable to their physical and mental goals. Produced by Kulbors Productions, this podcast captures the messy, rewarding journey of self-improvement without polish or pretense. You’ll hear the fatigue, the frustration, and the small breakthroughs that happen when two people decide to push their limits. It’s about finding strength in partnership and exploring how discipline in one area can ripple out and transform all the others. Tune in for a dose of relatable grit and the conversations that happen when the workout is done but the real work continues.
