Hey, what's going on, guys?

Welcome back to Jeremy Scott Fitness podcast and radio show coming to you on this Friday evening here,

and we have a special guest on the podcast, Candice Hutzbeth.

I said that right.

You good.

Thank you.

Awesome.

I fuck up names a lot, so I don't want to get that right off the bat.

But we're going to have Candace here, kind of share her story.

Again, for you guys listening, if you're unfamiliar with her, she's on Instagram, Facebook, her site, everything, will connect you guys at the very end of it here. She is the current, and this is going to sound very important. I'm going to make you sound very special here. She's currently the CMO of OPEX Fitness, which will dig into that.

She was the former VP of OPEX Fitness, which will dig into that. She was the

former VP of Innovation at bodybuilding.com, founder of Nourish and Bloom, Alulu, Lemon, Ambassador,

and the creator of conditioning with Candace. Just to share the numbers, she's competed in the fitness

world, kind of across the board, and for all my dudes out there listening who think they're strong, if you're talking Candace's PRs here, she can squat 300 pounds, bench 205, and a deadlift of 365. Those are impressive, dude. I respect those. Thank you. Thank you. Those are tough to do. So just these guys, I'm going to let you kind of, you know, share your story as we get into it. But for all the people, I guess listening right off the bat who, first of all, don't know, you are the CMO of OPEX. What is OPEX fitness for these guys listening? Oh, gosh. OPEX is a coaching education company. And the founder is James Fitzgergerald who's the original or inaugural we like

to say winner of the CrossFit games the first ever dude the first ever dude yeah the

OG most people know him as OPT but when he moved from Canada to the States rebranded

as OPEX but yes a coaching education. We work with coaches from all over the world

to deliver a system of coaching that James has developed over the last 25 years in his career.

And, yes, help them professionalize their passion and really dig deep into the why behind

fitness program design for their clients.

And then we have a gym's license model off the back of our education for coaches to be able to deliver fitness in more of a one-to-one model that creates profitable businesses for them.

So that's the bulk of OPEX, but there's also a long history on the competitive functional fitness side.
