Any other teenager would have done a set of curls, but legend has it, Sal did squats. He was always different like that – and it wasn’t long before everyone would notice. At age 18, Sal started working as a personal trainer, becoming the youngest general manager at 24 Hour Fitness by 19 years old. Not long after, he opened his own studio. Its reputation and success proved he was more than a personal trainer, but also a gifted businessman. And it was this entrepreneurial spirit that guided Sal to where we see him today. He is the voice of Mind Pump, a published author, and one of the most trusted and respected faces in the fitness industry.  https://www.instagram.com/mindpumpdistefano/ https://www.instagram.com/mindpumpmedia/ https://www.youtube.com/@CalledToHisKingdom   www.youtube.com/@MindPumpShow ABOUT THE HOST: Nicole Spencer is the host and curator of Spirituality for Skeptics, a show that explores the shift from doubt to belief through raw, transformative conversations.
