Angelo Kelly returns to discuss the evolution of his mindset through the peaks and valleys of pursuing weightlifting goals and how his approach has changed over time. We explore the journey of finding your path, accepting failure, and focusing on progress over perfection.

• Being comfortable with not seeing success for long periods while trying different pursuits
• Finding flow states in different creative activities, with writing feeling more natural than speaking
• Leaving the familiar routine to explore new places and experiences
• The mental battle after bombing out at nationals and the valuable lessons that came from failure
• Opening with realistic weights in competition rather than ego-driven numbers
• The psychological aspects of competition preparation and managing energy throughout meets
• Building podcasts from genuine interest rather than chasing metrics
• Finding motivation in daily improvement rather than distant outcome goals
