A few month's back, I took a seat across from Sam Leicht, founder of PrideFit, a fitness app for queer people (and allies!) At the time I had no idea who I was breaking bread with, but the conversation flowed so naturally and once I learned more I knew we'd have to have him here. It's my pleasure to introduce, Sam Leicht founder of PrideFit, former actor and absolutely bright light. In this episode, we discuss the impact of community in fitness, the challenges of running a business and the importance of creating safe spaces.

He encourages listeners to choose their own risks and make decisions that align with the life they want to live.
