Season 2 Trainer

I happen to come across your podcast from Dee Rowell’s IG story linking her episode. Since then I’ve listened to Marlon’s, Matt Thraxton’s and Mid Thomas’s episodes. Really great in depth interviews on their stories, how they started out in the fitness industry, and sharing advice and experience in the industry. I’ll now have to catch up with the rest of season 2!!
