In order to be successful in this world, you’ll need to trust in your abilities to handle every challenge head-on and hustle more than anyone thought was possible.
Recorded inside THE JR Group Studios in the City of Downey, CA, True Hustle Podcast is hosted by JR Jimenez where he discusses a wide range of topics with successful entrepreneurs, comedians, professional athletes, and social media influencers.
This week, JR is joined by comedian Julian Gonzalez shares the raw, unfiltered story behind his incredible transformation. From overcoming a serious Hot Cheetos addiction and surviving military life to completing a 26.2-mile marathon, Julian explains how discipline, consistency, and changing his mindset completely changed his life. He also opens up about the unexpected challenges of losing weight, the reactions from family and friends, how his stand-up comedy evolved after his transformation, and why he believes mental toughness is more important than motivation.
