5 Things Learned From Chris Jericho's Podcast With Nita Strauss

#5: Diamond Dallas Page may have changed more lives than you realize

Diamond Dallas Page is the founder of DDP YOGA

When people think of WCW legend (and WWE Hall Of Famer) Diamond Dallas Page, they probably think of DDP YOGA. With hundreds of thousands of followers, DDPY is an innovative exercise program. It aims to increase flexibility and provide a challenging, sweat-inducing workout, but going well beyond that, DDPY also incorporates nutrition, philosophy and other lifestyle-oriented aspects.

Famous followers of DDPY include Chris Jericho, A.J. Styles, singer Darius Rucker, and comedian Gabriel Iglesias. During her chat with Jericho, Strauss admitted to being a regular user of the DDPY app, doing the workouts in her hotel room.

Speaking of philosophies, Strauss shared a personal philosophy during her chat with Jericho, which the aforementioned Alice Cooper manager Shep Gordon often recites. That philosophy is: "If you're early, you're on time. If you're on-time, you're late. If you're late, you're fired."

Such is not far off from one of DDP's often-said quotes: "Work ethic equals dreams. That to me is that no one gets a free ride. You have to work for it and it doesn't get handed to you." In turn, beyond her skills as a guitarist, there is undeniable work ethic, motivation, emotional intelligence and positivity behind Nita Strauss' approach to earning a living as a touring musician.
