Michael Carrett On Bodybuilding Beyond Ego, Gratitude, Purpose, Life - 140

Michael Carrett’s journey is one shaped by discipline, perspective, and moments that force you to reassess what truly matters. In this episode of the Muscle Talks Podcast, we sit down with Michael to unpack a story that goes far beyond the gym. While bodybuilding and training are part of his foundation, this conversation moves into deeper territory, touching on life experience, gratitude, and the realities that shape a man’s outlook when everything can change in an instant.

We talk about his relationship with training and fitness, the lessons learned through years of pushing his body, and how the gym became more than just a physical outlet. Michael opens up about moments that tested him mentally and emotionally, including confronting fear, loss, and the awareness of mortality. These experiences reshaped how he views success, ambition, and the role bodybuilding plays in his life. Training becomes less about ego and more about presence, connection, and appreciation for the simple ability to move, breathe, and show up.

The conversation also explores values, family, gratitude, and how close calls in life have a way of stripping things back to what is real. We discuss the balance between chasing goals and living in the moment, the importance of perspective, and why strength is not only measured by muscle, but by character and mindset. This is a grounded and honest discussion that reminds us bodybuilding can be a tool for growth, but life itself is the ultimate teacher.
