E.91 Discipline, Community and The Pressure To Look A Certain Way Online with Milo McCloud

This week in my kitchen, we're joined by Milo McCloud, a fitness content creator and the Founder of Revive, a community centred around Hyrox. In this episode, I aimed to delve into the fundamentals with Milo, discussing his journey from school to university, his venture into entrepreneurship, and his evolution into a full-time content creator. Milo recounts his diverse experiences, from harbouring dreams of becoming a professional skier to ultimately dropping out of Exeter University, where he was pursuing sports science, in favour of heading to London and starting his career. But it is the lessons that you learn throughout all these experiences that prepare you for where you are today.

Throughout this episode, Milo shares insights into his physical transformation, from the initial desire to change his appearance to accomplish the remarkable feat of participating in both a bodybuilding competition and a marathon on the same day...insane I know.

But, such achievements come with a price—the pressure individuals impose on themselves or that society, particularly through social media, exerts to conform to certain standards of appearance and performance, potentially causing harm.

This was an amazing episode where Milo reveals the truths behind working in the fitness industry. But also it underscores the power of cultivating small habits and maintaining discipline, illustrating that one can attain anything with a determined mindset.
