  • Nashville Personal Trainer Tycho Bergquist of Inner Core Gainz Explains How His Unique Mind-Body Approach to Physical Fitness Gives His Clients Permanent Results in Half the Time

    Tycho explains how he helps busy professionals plow through mental obstacles, guiding them to hit and maintain their physical fitness goals. He calls it driving people to reach their potential and most people give up or fail with their weight loss and fitness aspirations because they don't have the mental pieces in place.

    So he starts with a mind-body assessment and then each workout is preceded by 30 minutes of mind work and then one hour of exercise. Nutrition also plays a key part. He wraps up with success stories of past clients who have worked with him.

    You can reach Tycho through his website icgainz.com for a personal trainer in Nashville Tennessee.

  • Robert Horn of Legacy Exteriors in Central Tennessee Describes How Core Values Drive the Growth of His Roofing, Siding and Gutters Business

    Robert explains, as an established roofing contractor, Legacy Exterior's core values are honesty, integrity, and education. And those are their primary focus in every single dealing they have with every single customer.

    In Robert's words, "We carry that with us. It's a lifestyle for us. There's no need for us to go in and high bid jobs because we had a bad month last month, or anything like that. We just do our best. Try to do our best to use those core values to take care of our customers."

    "We actually have a rule at legacy exteriors for our sales guys that before they get off of a roof after an inspection, they have to stop themselves and ask themselves what's in this customer's best interest on this given day, because one size doesn't fit all necessarily when it comes to providing a solution."

    You can learn more about Legacy Exteriors on their website legacyexteriorstn.com
