Welcome back to the Jordan Siat podcast. Before we dive into this very exciting episode, make sure you listen the whole way through. I have a quick announcement. If you're watching the video, you can see I'm sitting with my buddy, Mike Vacanti. Mike, you want to say hello? Hey, y'all. Mike and I are the host of the How to Become a Personal Trainer podcast, which is meant for personal trainers who want to become really good at what you do. So if you want to be a better coach,

learn how to help your clients get better results in a sustainable way and also learn how to

a Personal Trainer podcast. Mike and I upload every single Tuesday and it's 100% free.

We hope you like it. And now let's get into today's podcast episode.

Today, I'm honored to introduce you to my dear friend, Marshall Roy.

I first met Marshall in April of 2013, well over a decade ago, at a powerlifting competition

we were both competing in, and I immediately realized he is one of the most kind,

caring, thoughtful, and talented coaches I'd ever met.

Marshall is wildly strong, and in my opinion,

one of the best coaches in the world,

especially for people who want to get more done in less time.

Marshall Roy, welcome to the podcast, brother.

It's an honor to be here.

And it's hard to hear those things that you just said about me

because I feel that way about you.

And like, I remember, I think I said the other day

when we were catching up, like the bromance was instant. Like we laughed about the same things. We had a lot of ideas in common. And we just had a blast that day. Did we connect online before that? Did we know who each other were, but like before? I'm not sure. I know that I knew who you were. I followed you on like Twitter or something.

Got it. Got it. Got it. Okay. Followed your, followed your blog. Yeah. And then saw you at the meet and was like, oh, that's Jordan's side. I know like he's cool. I like his stuff. And like just went and said hello. And then we just broed out for the day. Yeah. It was great. That was amazing. Yeah, loved it. Um, before we dive in, and can you just give people who are listening insight into who you are, your story? Where are you from? What do you do? What was your childhood like? How did you get into fitness? Let's just talk about all. I'm a Midwest, East Coast hybrid, Wisconsin and Philadelphia and was not into, like, I was not a jock. I was not into fitness.

I was the kid who was like, we shouldn't have gym class because it's not, we should

be doing more reading.

Like, that was me.
