AUSTRALIAN FITNESS PODCAST EPISODE #64 - Luka Hocevar, The Legit Entrepreneur

Many people, too many, describe themselves as entrepreneurs.  Unless you have started something....a business, a product, a service, literally from an idea formulated in your own brain and built it from the ground up to be a legitimate source of income and furthermore a saleable business, then to me, you're a pretender.

Luka is anything but a pretender - he's a legit entrepreneur who has created something very special, from the ground up.

Luka Hocevar’s story is captivating.  Having spent his childhood and teenage years in Eastern European countries at war, he immigrated to the USA as a teenager and took a much more stable path.  He has clearly been shaped by some wonderful athletes and coaches that mentored him, and along the way, he has always had a clear vision of something extraordinary that he wanted to create one day with his own facilities, and that Vigor Ground Performance, in Seattle Washington, and Vigor Ground Gym in Slovenia.

He’s one of those rare humans that has all the key attributes necessary to succeed in business as an entrepreneur....vision, passion, an insatiable appetite for work, self-belief, and relentless determination.

Luka and I spoke at length, there is so much wonderful content and life lessons in this Podcast.

 As a Coach myself, I can be critical of other coaches' content and instruction, (there’s a lot of questionable content out there) but I’m very impressed by the instruction, education, and consistency of what Luka provides to the world.

I really enjoyed this chat, and I'm sure Luka will become a regular of the Australian Fitness Podcast, he's gotta lot more to offer.

Enjoy.

Brett Turley has had one very productive and extreme life.  As a teenager, he entered the military and eventually wound up as a dog handler in Bomb Detection, with two tours of Afghanistan.  Following that life, he entered the Fitness Industry and worked for some time as a PT.

Now, he’s running his world online and working in the Corporate space after a stint in the IT world.  We discussed his career path, his brushes with death, his work now, his management of his own PTSD and left a few topics open for another Episode.  Given everything Brett has seen, experienced and done, he has a very calm and insightful outlook on life, career, self management and what his purpose is all about delivering these days.  He has a very wise head on some broad young shoulders.  This was a very thoughtful chat with a guy who is clearly going places.  I’m looking forward to Episode 2.  Enjoy.

I asked him 10 questions, and he was only allowed to speak for 3 minutes on each one.  He was under pressure, but as always produced concise, common sense and useable answers.  The questions were;

1. Why do (some) people still feel intimidated by regular gyms, and where are we getting it wrong?
2. Do Superfoods really exist?
3. The best 6 exercises for building muscle mass?
4. Supplements - Overrated or Underrated?
5. Is Cardio going to damage my gains?
6. How do I manage my nutrition?  Why can't I seem to get it right?
7. If I'm 50+ years of age, how many times a week should I train and what should I do?
8. Machines Vs Free Weights.  Which is best?
9. Should my teenager join a gym?
10. Does Intermittent Fasting work for all?

Enjoy the Episode.

I think I spoke about 50 words during the whole show, I was simply enthralled.  Enjoy this remarkable human talk about her remarkable life - thus far.

Lisa Tamati is one helluva lady.  I initially wanted to talk to her about her 25-year career in Ultramarathon running, but like many good Podcasts, it went in all sorts of directions, including how she came close to death making an illegal crossing of the Libyan desert, which ultimately was largely the reason she commenced Ultramarathon running.

But then things got really crazy when she recounts the story of how she single-handedly nursed her mother through an aneurysm that should have killed her and then rehabilitated her back to full health.

Lisa clearly has a spirit that cannot be beaten, an insurmountable level of self-belief and an inquiring mind that is proving to be correct in contrast to many currently accepted medical procedures.

If you want a living example of mental toughness, an uncompromising will to never accept defeat, her name is Lisa Tamati.

Podcast: Pushing The Limits

Tiffanee speaks openly of her own personal experiences (good and bad) and how those experiences have enabled her to develop self-awareness, resilience, courage, independence and the skill to be able to maximise passion, possibilities and potential. She talks about getting knocked down (literally and metaphorically) and what it is that makes some of us get back up and some, stay down.
