Episode Four: Jesse Baker
The Innovators Ep. 4 – Jesse Baker – Part 1: What is Fitness?
“I like the metrics of being able to lift a certain amount, you know, carry a certain amount, hold yourself for a certain amount of time, whether it be a plank or a wall sit, a squat, because if you can do those things, then the likelihood of you getting hurt and not being able to do the things you want to do lowers significantly.” – Jesse Baker, Grit24 Fitness
The Innovators Ep.4 – Jesse Baker – Part 2: Fitness & Leadership
“The part of being fit, whatever standard that is, is the idea that you’re going to feel better emotionally or feel better mentally. You’re going to be a better father, a better husband, a better you know boss, better employee. It all kind of is symbiotic.” – Jesse Baker, Grit24 Fitness
The Innovators Ep. 4 – Jesse Baker – Part 3: Fitness & Productivity
“Be consistent. 15 minutes late or be 15 minutes early. People don’t understand that fluctuation in performance has a lot to do with what you’re eating, how you’re exercising. It’s how you treat yourself when you’re not in that 9 to 5. And so it’s being consistent. And that starts with fitness.” – Jesse Baker, Grit24 Fitness
The Innovators Ep.4 – Jesse Baker – Part 4: Fitness & Innovation
“So if you want to get in line and do the same thing, everybody else says, that’s fine. I mean, some people just don’t have the capacity to do otherwise. But I think to be an innovator, you have to be the kind of person that says, I think it’s pushing yourself outside the boundaries of what’s comfortable.” – Jesse Baker, Grit24 Fitness
The Innovators Episode 4 – Jesse Baker – Part 5: The Fitness Foundation
“I think the biggest problem with most people nowadays is they have such a low stress response. So something negative happens in their life and they don’t know how to deal with it. Fitness is one of the most amazing opportunities you have, and it costs nothing to put something in front of you and actually build that emotional callus of being able to deal with something that is difficult.” – Jesse Baker, Grit24 Fitness
