First A Gym, Then A Podcast, and Now A Book -- Jim Adams Expands His “Masters in Fitness Business” Brand
Jim Adams is the owner of Catalyst Strength and Functional Nutrition in St. Louis — and the author of a brand-new book, “Masters in Fitness Business.” It’s a companion piece to his podcast of the same name and, I’m glad to report, it’s really good. Jim’s a thoughtful interviewer and he presents his guests in a warm light that’s beneficial to the audience. Believe me, that’s not as easy as it might seem, in a podcast or in print.
Jim also fills us in about a new venture for online learning in the fitness business — and we even discuss books and authors a bit, something I love to do any time.
