In this episode, Dr. B sits down with Dave Hurley joining us from Ireland—a successful entrepreneur turned fitness leader who proves one powerful truth: It’s never too late to reinvent your life. Dave’s story starts at age 12: shy, low confidence, and struggling with bronchitis. His mom introduced him to karate, and it didn’t just change his health—it sparked a lifelong relationship with fitness, discipline, and belief. Fast forward: Dave built a thriving printing and design business in 1994 and went on to work with some of the biggest brands in the world—including Apple, and major automotive names like BMW, Lexus, Toyota, Renault, Hyundai, and more. But success came with a cost. In his 30s, Dave became consumed with deadlines, meetings, and the nonstop grind… and slowly let fitness disappear. He gained weight, lost energy, stopped sleeping well, and realized something many entrepreneurs experience: You can win in business and still lose your health. That’s when Dave discovered resistance band training—a game-changer that allowed him to train anywhere, anytime, with low impact and high results. What began as a personal solution turned into a mission. Dave eventually qualified in personal training, gym instruction, and nutrition, and within two years, he made a massive leap: ✅ He walked away from his printing business after 24 years ✅ He stepped fully into fitness as his new purpose Then COVID hit… and instead of shrinking, Dave’s resistance band model exploded online—because it was perfect for home workouts, travel, and busy schedules. Today, Dave trains clients across Ireland, the U.S., Canada, and beyond, and he’s building a global movement through his Resistance Band Academy—focused especially on helping people 40+ build strength, mobility, balance, and long-term independence. 💥 If you’re 40+, 50+, 60+, or beyond—and you want to feel strong again, move better, and live longer with energy—this one will hit home. 🌍 Connect with Dave Hurley 🔗 Website: www.davehurleyfitness.com 🏋️ Resistance Band Academy: www.resistancebandacademy.com 📘 Patreon Academy Access: patreon.com/davehurleyfitness 💼 LinkedIn: Dave Hurley Fitness 📘 Facebook: Dave Hurley Fitness ✅ Clean Footer (Your Standard “Follow + Offers + Events”) 🎙 Follow me for more podcasting tips and exclusive offers: 📸 Instagram: @drbrianearnold 📘 Facebook: @brianearnold 🎥 YouTube: @brianearnold1 💼 LinkedIn: Brian Earnold 🐦 X (Twitter): @DrBearnold 🎵 TikTok: @brianearnold1 📚 Read my books: brianearnold.com/books ✨ Want to be the next story featured on our podcast?
