This is the 4 Pillar Podcast! Matt & Ian talk about the 4 Pillars of life. The 4 Pillars are Faith, Family, Fitness, & Finance. We believe these are the essential 4 aspects of life that need to be balanced to have a moral, ethical, powerful, & fulfilling life. If you keep all 4 Pillars strong or repair them when they start to crumble it will leave you with a long & happy life. 

This is how we govern our lives & I believe I try to embrace these principles in operating Lashley Training Center. 

Every week in the podcast we will cover one of these 4 pillars or a combination of all of them. We have some awesome guests planned to come in to share their life experiences & help us grow as individuals.
