Summary
These days, Betina Gozo makes a living with a side of sweat as a Nike Master Trainer. But not all that long ago, the Philippines-born bombshell was playing bass in a rock band. In episode 72, we talk about the workout class that changed her life entirely (and ultimately, her career path), and how she went from hardly being able to do exercises with 5-pound dumbbells to crushing barbell-friendly workouts on the Nike Training Club app. We also talk about one of the hardest parts of adulting — balancing a career and your personal life, and the tough decisions she made after spending some time cell phone free on a work trip.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, hurdlers. Emily Abadi here. A little out of breath with episode 72 of hurdle, a podcast |
| 0:08.9 | that talks to everyone from entrepreneurs to top CEOs and athletes about how they've gotten through |
| 0:13.5 | tough times, hurdles of sorts, by leaning into wellness. This breathing thing. It's because I literally just walked in the door |
| 0:23.1 | from running the New York Roadrunners New Balance Fifth Avenue mile, a 609 feeling pretty good |
| 0:29.5 | about that, considering I logged a 15-mile or long run yesterday and, uh, just really |
| 0:36.0 | loving the diversity in all the running that I'm doing. |
| 0:39.6 | Enough about me for now. |
| 0:41.4 | Before I get in today's episode with Bettina Gozo, she's a Nike master trainer. |
| 0:47.6 | Quick shout out to my sponsor, Athletic Greens. |
| 0:50.6 | Before I sat down to record this intro, the first thing I did coming in the door from my run was shake up some AG. |
| 0:57.9 | And that's because Athletic Greens gives me the boost I need to start off my day right. |
| 1:03.2 | Right when I get in from my workout, I drink it every day on an empty stomach, and it just gives me the energy, makes me feel clear and ready to take on whatever |
| 1:12.6 | comes my way. They are offering hurdle listeners a special deal. It's 20 free travel packs, |
| 1:18.9 | a $79 value, absolutely free with your first purchase. Just head on over to athletic greens.com |
| 1:25.5 | slash hurdle. Again, that's athletic greens.com slash hurdle |
| 1:29.1 | to grab yours today. No code necessary. All right. Now, let's talk about Batina. Batina is a ray of |
| 1:38.9 | light. Like, that's the best way to describe her. We were introduced through some mutual friends in the |
| 1:43.8 | industry. Obviously, |
| 1:44.7 | you guys have heard from Christy Godso, Joe Holder, Alex Silver Fagan, all other Nike Master |
| 1:49.6 | trainers. And we immediately clicked. This episode is a direct result from you guys actually |
| 1:56.9 | writing in and asking me to hear a chat with her. So mental note that I'm listening |
| 2:02.4 | and I want to bring you guys stories from the people that you want to hear from. Anyway, Bettina |
