Train Your Brain, Move Your Body with guest David Forster: #95
What if the biggest bottleneck in your performance isn’t your business strategy, but your brain?
In this episode of Busy Pro Fast Wellness, Alan speaks with brain fitness coach and entrepreneur David Forster about the powerful connection between movement, mental clarity and sustainable performance.
David shares the bike ride that changed his perspective on work, stress and life priorities — and explains how cycling became far more than exercise. From using recovery rides to solve problems to high-intensity sessions for learning, his approach is refreshingly simple, structured and practical.
The conversation also explores the hidden cost of hustle culture, why small efforts compound, how habit stacking can help busy professionals reclaim time, and why simply showing up may matter more than obsessing over outcomes.
