The Michael Chernow Podcast

What you do when nobody is watching may be the clearest reflection of who you’re becoming. In this Monday Moment, Michael Chernow breaks down why your morning routine, daily habits, discipline, and private decisions directly impact your confidence and success. He also gets vulnerable about the stress of running Kreatures of Habit and how the pressure of being a founder and CEO started to become debilitating. Michael explains why building strong routines and rituals gives him the confidence to keep fighting when life and business get hard. If your actions behind closed doors don’t align with the life you say you want, this episode is your reminder to change them.

Nick Walker joins Michael Chernow for a raw conversation about discipline, childhood trauma, ultra running, therapy, and the pursuit of hard things. Nick opens up about training for the Leadville 100, why he intentionally puts himself through suffering, and what running has taught him about who he really is. The conversation turns deeply personal as Nick discusses trauma therapy, EMDR, growing up around instability, and why he remembers so little of his childhood. He also shares his earliest memory of his parents screaming and how childhood experiences still influence his habits, environment, and need for control today. This is a conversation about healing, mental toughness, delayed gratification, authenticity, and discovering what has been underneath the surface all along.

Michael opens up about his own experiences with health, trauma, recovery, and a recent MDMA-assisted journey. This is a conversation about facing the parts of yourself you’d rather avoid and finding your way back to who you really are.
