Listen Later

AJ Mihrzad is the author of the best selling book, The Mind Body

Solution and interviews other online coaches for his podcast. As a
self-proclaimed former fat kid and incredibly shy introvert, AJ
talks on how he transformed his life and worked towards a life he
really wanted. There’s some great personal tidbits about
friendships, growing your business, and more in here that I really
resonated with. Hope you enjoy the interview with AJ!
