#006 - The Role Fitness Plays Into Building A Business
In this episode, we dive deep into how fitness and health have shaped our journeys as entrepreneurs. We break down our individual fitness backgrounds—where we started, how things have evolved, and the role discipline, training, and physical health play in showing up consistently for our business.
From early gym sessions to building structure through routine, we explore how taking control of your body often leads to taking control of your life—and your business.
Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or trying to balance it with business goals, this episode is for you.
