In this episode of Progress Always, I sit down with the remarkable Margaux Alvarez—seven-time CrossFit Games athlete, winemaker, NBC Titan Games competitor, and entrepreneur—to explore how hardship, discipline, and presence shaped her evolution as a leader. From honoring her sister’s memory to building a business that bridges fitness and wine, Margaux shares the mindset behind her resilience and the lessons she’s learned from doing the work—day in and day out.
We explore how pain becomes purpose, how to pivot when life demands it, and how staying in the moment is often the secret to progress.
Key Takeaways
- Resilience is built by doing hard things with purpose, not just performance.
- Presence is power—chunking down overwhelming goals makes them achievable.
- Entrepreneurship demands you become a student of your own limits.
- Fitness can be therapy—a means of healing and service to others.
- Work hard, then wine down—honor the grind and the recovery.
