Today on the podcast we welcome Ameena Benselloum. On 4/16 2019, she got the worst news of her life: her person was gone. Grief like that really changes you. For a while, she felt so lost, depressed and angry. Life seemed truly meaningless to Ameena. But with time, she's gained clarity and has been able to find meaning - though she would do anything to have him back. Fitness was a core element of her and Cary's relationship. Between her running expertise and his lifting expertise, they challenged each other and strived to be the most well-rounded athletes they could be. They constantly wanted to learn more, push ourselves and evolve. This is what I want she wants her brand to be all about. We unpack this and so much more. Let's get into it!

Today, James chatted with Don Scozzari, a long time friend and inspiration in the health and wellness space. 

Here is a little about Don, out of his own mouth: "The first time I ever lifted a weight was my freshman year of highschool. I thought I was so cool going to max out my bench press every day at lunch. I somehow didn’t injure myself and I started going to a local gym and picking up tips from the big guys there. This is where my interest in fitness began. I tried everything under the sun in terms of strength training and nutrition. I wanted to get bodybuilder big and put some muscle on my scrawny physique so I dove into all of my favorite instagram pages for the best programs and diets. Then I discovered that the majority of my jacked role-models only had a slight clue how to structure all the intricacies of a training and nutrition program. I took a step back and sought out much more highly qualified coaches and trainers in the industry. I got into the weeds with all of this new fitness information and really learned just how much there is to strength training and nutrition. So, with my new mindset as a fitness practitioner, I started training people and applying this growing knowledge. I have worked with many people in the past 8 years. I have also trained myself to have the strength to compete in the fighting scene at a professional level. Between training others and training myself, I have discovered how to effectively train people of many different starting points and backgrounds. It is a huge blessing to be able to provide a helping hand to people wanting to make a change in their lives and I find it extremely rewarding. I hope to be able to assist others in even the smallest capacity with my work. My goal is show people that you don’t have to make your life revolve around  fitness to be in the best shape of your life."

James talks to Dr. Nathan Teter, the practicing Physical Therapist and owner of Apex Physical Therapy. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of West Georgia where he spent four years playing college football for the Wolves. It was during this time that he found my passion for physical therapy after suffering a traumatic knee injury during his senior season. He was fortunate enough to work with skilled Manual Therapists over the course of his rehabilitation which further ignited his passion for PT. He went on to graduate from the University of St. Augustine with my Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree and returned to his home town of Cumming, GA to begin practicing. He specializes in Manual Therapy, Sports Medicine, Dry Needling, and Injury Prevention. He has worked in a number of different physical therapy settings and haas gained an array of knowledge and experience. His belief is that in order for individuals to return to their optimal level of performance, they require personalized, one-on-one care.
