Thinking in Systems - with Evan Gertis

🎙️ This episode of The Dap and A Hug Podcast features Evan Gertis — someone whose résumé doesn’t fit into a single lane.

At the time of recording, Evan was an Assistant General Manager at LA Fitness 💪, but his background reaches far beyond the gym floor. He’s an author ✍️, a financial advisor 💼, and holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Georgia 🎓🐾, a Master’s degree from Georgia Southern University 📘, and a Bachelor’s in Physics from UNC Chapel Hill 💡🧪.  Currently, he is a Personal Trainer who recently began a new role with Northwestern Mutual.

We dive into what happens when high-level science meets real-world leadership — how analytical minds operate in everyday environments 🧠⚙️, why discipline outlasts motivation 🔥, and how understanding systems (whether computers, finances, or people) helps you move through life with more clarity and intention 🎯.

This conversation isn’t about titles — it’s about mindset, growth, and learning how to think differently in a noisy world 🌍✨.
