What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
We're not going to have good days and bad days, right? So everybody says, find your motivation, find your motivation. I'm like, okay, that's cool.
Why do I care?
You could be the most motivated person to have no discipline, right? And it won't happen, right? It's the discipline that gets you to the gym, right? Even when you don't want to go, right? Then your motivation follows that, in my opinion, right? I think discipline is way more important than motivation.
So talk about being a male and using that energy and dominating.
How does Jonathan Wong define discipline over motivation?
Talk to folks that are about to have that awakening and educate them and go, look, it's real. Follow the surge, follow the intuition, follow the path.
Yeah.

Welcome back to the Living Your Legacy podcast, Red Life edition. For Inside Success, I'm Ray Gutierrez. Joining me today is yet another amazing, captivating legacy story. Jonathan Wong, how are you, my friend?
I'm well, thanks for asking.
Happy Friday, brother. You as well.
You as well.
So what brings you to the corner of Red Valley in South Beach, Miami?
I was actually introduced to Legacy Makers through a recent business partner of mine, Dr. Ravi Patel, who has also been here. So I'm actually piggybacking off of his journey. Not really piggybacking, but it became an opportunity for me and I took it. I love Dr. Ravi.
Have you seen his video guy? I mean, he's huge. Like this guy is carrying- Which one? There's a couple. I've met one of them. He's got like a huge shoulder. He's like grabbing his rodent S3 and he's like, he's killing it. He's crushing it. That is a doctor that understands how medicine truly works in 2025. I think so.
I think so.
If you catch my meaning.
Yeah, and I met him randomly through another business meeting trying to explore the possibility of opening up a gym, which was one of my goals to do as an entrepreneur. And I met him in one of those meetings, and then we hit it off from there.
So you mentioned the keyword gym. Mm-hmm. Bro, you're jacked up. I'm jealous. We can sit here and make it a different podcast, but Jim, self-healing, self-health, self-love. Talk about that journey.
I mean, you can't preach something and not live it, right? Yeah. Luckily for me, I've been a fitness person for life. It's a lifestyle for me. When my friends tell me, hey, I got to get ready for my vacation or big event in life, wedding. I'm like, okay, so what happens when you achieve your goal? What happens afterwards? Are you going to go back to where you were? Because this is a lifestyle. It's a marathon. This is not a sprint. you know what i mean so um that's how i you know i myself have gone through ups and downs i've been stayed like this forever it's kind of like bodybuilding right everybody wants that bodybuilding look right the reality is bodybuilders themselves only look like that for like a month out of the year yeah the emphasis on building there's the body and then there's the building of course of course i'm trying to live i'm trying to live and look like 80 85 percent of that for life i don't want to be there's no downtime i try to keep it that because i've
I'm hovering around 200 pounds right now at 5'7", which is... I'm technically obese, but I'm not, right? But I've also been 200 pounds and looked a lot different.
Oh, dude. You're speaking to my heart. When I was in my worst point in my life, I was 199. I'm 5'9". I was heavy. I was... And I was on camera interviewing folks and I go, that's what I fucking look like? Who the hell's gonna listen to that dude?
That's hilarious to see that. It's so funny you say that because I was like, you have a perception of yourself in life, right? And then it's not until you actually see yourself on camera. You're like, that's how I really look? This is what people think I look like. Yeah, exactly.
