Rewiring for Confidence: Emotional Fitness, Mental Toughness, and Doing Hard Things — with Corey Corpodian

What if confidence and mental toughness were skills you could train—just like your body?

 

In this conversation, Corey Corpodian shares how a life-altering melanoma diagnosis forced him to question the traditional blueprint for success—and led him to develop what he now calls emotional fitness.

 

Corey breaks down how entrepreneurs and high achievers can rewire their minds for confidence by changing their physical state, asking better questions, and consistently doing hard things. We explore why affirmations alone don’t work, how distraction keeps people stuck in “comfortable mediocrity,” and why long-term success is built through daily mental practice, not motivation.

 

This episode is a grounded look at confidence, discipline, and leadership—from someone who rebuilt his life by training his inner world as deliberately as his outer one.
