4What's the most extreme thing you would do to reinvent yourself? This week, we share the wild, true story of a man who hit the reset button on his life—HARD.
Matthew Polly was a Princeton student with a clear path to success, but he felt like a 98-pound weakling with no direction. So he did the unthinkable: he dropped out, flew to China, and became one of the first Americans to study Kung Fu with the legendary monks of the Shaolin Temple. This is a raw, hilarious, and inspiring look at what it truly means to build discipline from scratch and find your strength when you feel you have none. If you've ever dreamed of taking a wild leap of faith, you can't miss this story.
