S3 | E5 - Train in your 20s, Peak in your 50s - The Making of a Masters Athlete

What if the strength you build in your twenties shows up in your fifties? What if discipline in the gym quietly shapes success at work? In this episode of Intentionality, we sit down with Krishna Kumar Shetty, a former CEO of leading global automobile brands and a Masters powerlifter who began competing at 57. Krishna started training in his twenties and never stopped. Across decades of demanding leadership roles, global travel, and family responsibilities, he protected one non-negotiable habit: movement. That discipline didn’t just build a strong body, it built clarity, consistency, and excellence in his professional life. Today, he stands on powerlifting platforms, winning gold medals in the Masters category, proving that age is not a limitation when habits are built early and carried forward intentionally. This conversation explores: How to build discipline young and sustain it for life What a CEO’s day really looks like — and how fitness fits into it Why starting early allows you to peak later The role of family and environment in shaping lifelong fitness Why competing as a Masters athlete is about mastery, not medals Krishna Kumar Shetty’s story is a reminder that discipline doesn’t retire — and when you live with intent, every decade can be your prime.
