Today I am honored to introduce you to Alex Viata, an incredible father to a ridiculously

handsome young boy, a dog lover, a wolf lover, a horse lover, an all-round animal lover,

the owner of complete human performance, inventor of hybrid training, author of the

ultimate hybrid athlete.

Alex is one of the most intimidatingly strong, jacked, and intelligent humans I've ever met.

I followed Alex for nearly 15 years.

I hired him as my coach for nearly two years, and I learned from him every single time I have

the pleasure of speaking with him.

Alex is one of the greatest coaches in the world, and I'm beyond blessed to have him here with me today. Alex Viata, welcome to the podcast. Jordan, it is, we are so overdue, first of all. We are. I know, like, we've, you know, we've been talking on it. We used to chat all the time, obviously, when we were working together. A lot to happen since then. First off, I wanted to thank you

for making me sound so much cooler than I think I've ever seen myself. That was a very under the radar. You're much cooler than that. This has been great, though. I feel really good. This is a good positive start. Oh, but man, it's, it's been, it's been really, really cool.

And it's been, it's really cool to be able to talk to you over the year, stay in touch. I think we both changed. We both kind of matured in our thoughts, our thoughts on fitness, our thoughts on life, family, everything else.

So it's been really good to be a part of that. So I'm just, I'm so, so blessed and happy to be

able to sit down and talk with you today. Thank you, man. Likewise. And it's been cool to go from

like fitness colleagues to friends who can have really meaningful conversations outside

of fitness. Yeah. Which is part of what we're going to do today.

Yeah, I appreciate that too because, you know, it's, I think we both owe fitness a lot.

Yes.

But I think as things change, as the industry changes, like you don't have to be defined by your work.

You don't have to be defined by your background.

And it's been, it's been really valuable to sometimes even just see fitness and that industry is

kind of a microcosm of a lot of other things going on. Yeah. So, yeah, I'm looking forward

to those conversations too. So just to start off with a very easy question, who are you?
