    Steve Maxwell - EP70

    One of the OG's of the fitness world, Steve Maxwell joins us on the podcast to share his story. A lot of people know him as fitness guru, BJJ blackbelt, coach and trainer since 1972, Steve Maxwell. He is nomadic, going city to city, doing what he loves everyday and we caught him for an hour in his busy diary, to talk about his story and hardest learnt lessons over the past few decades and beyond.  He told us all about his early days growing up, what got him into fitness, his wrestling career, how things shifted for him over the years and how it all came to be that he was named as one of the top 100 trainers in USA by Mens Journal with a wealth of knowledge, experience who is highly respected and has worked and trained with the likes of Gracie brothers, Pavel Tsatsouline and even Brad Pitt (yes, seriously). Steve talks fitness, longevity, mindset and business and if you love a good story with tactical advice weaved in that can help you build a business and live a full life, then this podcast episode is for you. It was dope to have him on and he is coming back again sometime in the future to talk about his transition online from PT'ing, navigating 2020 and much more that we didn't get to discuss on the show.

    Chris Mooney - EP69

    Back on episode 48 you may remember my good friend Chris Mooney shared his story - but what we didn't cover was the origin story behind his brand 51FIT. Today was that day. We spoke about the creation of 51FIT, the meaning behind the name and within that, the number one thing you must have to build a fitness business (and its not as complicated or as difficult as you might think to master this one because you're probably already doing it in another area of your life). Chris is so passionate about the industry and it always comes through in the way he communicates what he does and why he does what he does. We played good cop bad cop throughout the entire show, calling out the PT industry for some of the flaws we see (which you'll probably agree with) and we had a lot of fun with the discussion. Venturing into what it took him to go from managing a gym, to building his personal brand that is now helping certify QUALITY personal trainers so that he can sleep easy at night knowing the work he does is changing not only the life of the PT, but also the lives of the clients they serve. He is making impact in the industry, and we love him for it. You will too. Take a listen to the full episode now and let us know what you think by leaving a rating and a review. Share this with a friend at the very least as it will help us get ranked and help more people out there. P.S FitStory and 51FIT are working on a joint venture this month, delivering a new programme and the doors are now open to apply. There is certain criteria to meet for anyone coming into this programme (we talk about it more around 55:00 minutes onward).

    Josh Dickinson - EP68

    Owner and founder of Physique Essentials and Elite Physique Project, Josh Dickinson joins me on the podcast to talk about his story and detail parts of his journey to becoming and staying a leader in the fitness space. With a career spanning for over two decades, Josh had a lot to say about starting a fitness business and staying in the game. We actually discovered he built his platform during a time when forums were the way for people to get information on how to transform (not social media like today), Josh saw opportunity to lead the way. Not only did he train to become a natural bodybuilding champion, so he knows a thing or two about transformation, he also trained world champions, opened a gym and has spent time mastering his craft as an online coach and expert over the years. There were many bombs during this episode, it would be hard for me to pinpoint any specific take aways, but we spoke about topics that will 100% give you the knowledge you need to avoid stepping on mines as you grow your business, so you'll want to check this one out. Thanks to my guest Josh for his time, and patience in this launching because this episode was actually recorded over 1 year ago. We lost the recording and after much digging, finally found/recovered it. As always, if you love it, rate and review (or tell a friend about us by sharing the episode with them).

    #67 - Ed Flood

    Ed Flood is the founder of Trail Pursuit, which is known for its unique trail race festivals & adventure retreats for people who love the great outdoors. But who was he before that? We started off the episode by talking about his upbringing, being positively influenced and growing up where giving back was a standard and strong family value. He spent his formative years on a pursuit of his own, exploring things that kept him out of trouble, from Tennis to entering charity events to help those who may be less privileged, until eventually he took up running and found his stride. Setting up a successful crowd funder and beginning his entrepreneurial endeavours. But things quickly take a drastic turn when later, while in the first year of building the Trail Pursuit brand, he was hit with a marriage breakup that caused him to really have to dig deep and navigate the terrain he found himself on. Ed speaks about the tactics he used to help keep him focused on the bigger vision of giving back to those who are out there on a pursuit of their own, to better themselves and show up in their lives as the hero of their story, while dealing with his own struggles in his story. We've personally been connected for a while now and I have seen qualities in him that are rare to find in people these days - he also invited me to speak on stage at his upcoming event in the Lake District. Again, out of service and a genuine desire to give back to others. Ed's heart is big. He does things out of a love for doing them and always wants to do something for others, even when he himself is in times of hardship. He is loved and supported by his team and they continue to grow what is the fastest growing trail running community in the UK. Ed's shares with us vulnerably in this episode, and I am thankful for the space we got to share. Want to follow Ed's journey on IG?

    #66 - Rodney Stewart

    On the show we have Rodney Stewart - not the singer but the proud owner of Club Performax, Florida. A successful gym with a team of highly skilled personal trainers that know how to train a diverse population and deliver the ultimate in customer service - to get there, Rod has faced many seasons of hardship in building the brand, so you could say he knows a thing or two. On this episode he talks to us about his story of growth, adversity and development to become the best coach and leader he can be and shares valuable insights into the mindset and work ethic behind what it takes to stay in the game for 20+ years. His philosophy is something that I personally loved - that we get two 50's. The first 50 and the second 50, meaning we all should live to 100, and if that's the case, then the second 50 should feel just as good as the first. He is a true expert at what he does and yet doesn't sleep on continuing to educate and empower himself with knowledge and tools to better support not only his clients, but also his team, his family and anyone else who he comes into contact with. His experience shows in how he communicates his story. He practices the very things he preaches and Rod has been in the game of health and fitness for as long as I have been alive. He is the real deal. I have a feeling you are going to love this story. You'll learn a ton about business, mindset and how to stick to your knitting when things get tough. If you love this episode, don't forget to rate, review and share the episode with a friend or on your social media.

    #65 - Ricardo Fleuranvil

    Entrepreneur and agency owner, Ricardo Fleuranvil joins us in this episode to talk about his story - he spoke into the days before entrepreneurship, the businesses and making money. He opened up telling us what it was like to grow up as the oldest of 10 kids and what it was like growing up in a functioning-dysfunctional family. Needing to grow up fast and take on responsibility early. Ricardo today, is extroverted and confident, but once upon a time, he was a shy, soft spoken kid who struggled to communicate clearly, which led to being nick-named "retardo". This label, created an identity in which he lived with for years after. After meeting his now wife, things shifted. He was able to seek the mentorship he needed to develop his skills, his mindset and ultimately his life to where he is today. Nothing was linear, but his story, provides a path for others to follow that are looking to change their habits, their mindset and their world from the inside out.

    #64 - Mikey Mckinson

    People like us are cut from the same cloth and that's why I loved having him on the show. Mikey Mckinson is here... On this episode (which is late to launch fyi, as we had some production issues early on) I had the pleasure of sitting with professional boxer "The problem" - Mikey Mckinson, who shares insights of trial, tribulation and now the journey to triumph, weaved into a truly vulnerable and authentic story behind what it took to get where he is today - on the path to his life long dream of being world champion. Having been thrown in the deep end by his father for many years, climbing the ladder of success so to speak, Mikey now has the opportunity of a lifetime, to grace the ring with his presence, on a huge show streamed on DAZN boxing, as he looks to cause more boxers, more problems and fight his way to the top. A professional welterweight boxer from the UK, Portsmouth, with a record of 21-0, who is has spent his entire life, over 27 years with gloves on, being told he is the underdog. On March 19th, will he prove them otherwise? Tune in to DAZN and watch the stream. P.S this episode was recorded in February 2022, and Mikeys opponent has since been changed due to a health issue with Ortiz. We wish him a speedy recovery and maybe one day the fans will get to see "The Problem" face off with Ortiz in the future. For now, he has a problem to cause new opponent, Alex Martin. As always, if you loved this episode let us know by sharing on your IG stories, you can find us @fitstorytv and don't forget to rate and review this episode on Apple to help us get ranked.

    #63 - Rachel Pastor

    Damn, this episode was a hot one. I was joined by the founder of BreakFree Festival and online fitness mindset coach, Rachel Pastor, and boy oh boy will this story hit hard. Most of all because it was so real, raw and authentic. Rachel, who now helps people breakthrough limiting beliefs and completely transform their identities through fitness, nutrition and NLP, was once addicted to drugs and had nothing to live for.. It's amazing and exactly why I do this podcast. How does someone change their life once they hit the point of feeling like they don't have one? How does that happen? Well, Rachel didn't hold back on any of the details in this episode. Her story, owned and told. Not only that, Rachel has gone on to build the life of her dreams as she continues to carry out and fulfil her vision of helping more people get access to "THIS" as she so excitedly described on the podcast. We dove into not just her story, but also business, mindset and beyond. Rachel has the experience and shares it all. She's been featured in: business insider, NOCO, CBS and many more - it was a pleasure to add to that roster. Rachel is an authentic, powerful, driven and compassionate leader that the world desperately needs more of. I loved every minute of this episode and I hope you will too. Leave us your comments wherever your listening from, we love an proper' review too ;)  P.S considering working with?
