Episode 130
In this episode of The Path, I sit down with Michael Chernow—entrepreneur, athlete, and founder of The Meatball Shop, Seymour’s, and Kreatures of Habit. Michael shares his raw and unfiltered journey of building businesses while staying deeply committed to fatherhood, self-mastery, and personal growth.
We dive into the power of structure, morning routines, and how he integrates discipline into every part of his life. Michael also opens up about his experience overcoming addiction, healing childhood wounds, and using breathwork as a tool for deep transformation.
Topics Covered:
- Balancing high-level entrepreneurship with being a present father
- The power of morning routines and non-negotiables
- The "Three C’s" Framework
- Overcoming self-doubt and the inner critic
- Breathwork as a tool for healing and transformation
