We recently flew out to Miami for a business and growth conference and in this podcast we give you all a full re-cap of the exercise.

Here at Fit, Healthy, & Happy podcast we aren’t just a couple of meatheads that are all about lifting weights. We’re absolutely huge on personal growth and self-development. We make sure to dedicate a couple of hours every day to become more knowledgeable in fitness, business, and other areas of life that will help our business grow. 🙌
.
We began reading personal growth books when Colossus Fitness was just getting started and it was an absolute game changer. We definitely wouldn’t be where we are today if we hadn’t started investing time into reading books and investing into our personal growtg,
.
We’ve always aimed to set goals 10 times higher than what's probably possible. By doing this, it will force you to work harder to achieve it rather than simply settling for average results. 🙌

In this podcast episode we talk about how exercise is not enough to reach your goals. Oftentimes, we find majority of people looking to lose weight, gain muscle, just focusing on exercise and not nutrition. This is a very serious topic and a ton of people could learn from it and make better progress by implementing these simple principles.
