Self-Doubt

We're all made of the same stuff. We can still get the job done.

Daily Routines

This is followed by four hours of physical training, which he believes hones both his body and soul 7. Wright's routine provides him with the clarity and energy needed to tackle the rest of his day effectively.

If I don't put that 4 hours into myself, the stuff that I put out on the back half of the day is not going to be as pure as it should be.
