Walking around at sub 12% body fat is a cheat code to life. Make no mistake about it.

0:06.1

When you're lean, healthy, and muscular, the amount of attention and respect you automatically receive

0:11.7

is like nothing else that I've ever experienced. In this podcast, I'm going to tell you exactly how I can guarantee success.

With 100% of the gentleman, I work with executives, athletes, and entrepreneurs over 40.

0:25.6

Stick around, I'm going to reveal my entire process.

0:29.6

I made a living on stage of my underwear.

0:31.6

Sub 4% body fat many, many times, and I didn't start there.

0:36.6

I started off as an obese kid with very,

1:46.7

Here's the biggest challenge, the biggest mindset flip that needs to happen. You're measuring inputs,
