In this powerful episode of the LFG Energy Podcast, I sit down with the legendary Flex Lewis, a seven-time Mr. Olympia champion. Flex shares his journey from humble beginnings in Wales to achieving global bodybuilding fame, driven by what he calls a "poor man's mentality." We dive into how he found purpose through resilience and his unique ability to adapt in the face of adversity. Flex opens up about profound moments of grief, learning from childhood struggles, and the unwavering pursuit of excellence. This conversation is loaded with lessons on embracing hard work, staying humble, and building a legacy that goes beyond titles.
