Description
What if your job was spending every day in an adult playground — aka, the gym? Dr. Curtis Weldon, founder of Pride Rehab Performance, made that dream a reality.
In this episode, we dive deep into fitness, discipline, and the mental strength it takes to pursue a path most wouldn’t dare. Curtis shares how he went from powerlifting to bodybuilding after an injury, the mindset shift that came with it, and the journey leading up to his second-ever bodybuilding show — happening August 2025.
We talk about:
- The difference between micro and macro goals
- Body dysmorphia in men and the truth behind bodybuilding
- Social media’s impact on how we see ourselves
- Why Curtis loves doing the hard things most people avoid
- The difference between physical therapy and chiropractic care
- The value of solo travel and making space for yourself
- Entrepreneurship, content creation, and showing your work
Whether you’re in the gym, on a journey, or still trying to find your fire — this one’s for you.
