In this podcast, I interview Enrique, who read my book Bigger Leaner Stronger and joined my VIP one-on-one coaching program to take all the guesswork out of his training and nutrition and get leaner and stronger than ever before. And here’s the kicker: he also managed to quit smoking and excessive drinking. As a result, Enrique is now fitter and healthier at 40 years old than he was at 25. In fact, Enrique has enjoyed the coaching program so much and gotten so much out of it, he’s stayed on as a client since 2016 for the accountability.

Before finding my work, Enrique’s party lifestyle caught up with him in his 30s, and he was overweight and out of shape. But once he read my book, got over the simplicity, and began following the program, he made such fast progress that he was motivated to take it to the next level and hire one of my coaches. In the next 4 months, he went from squatting just the barbell to squatting his bodyweight, all while losing 45 pounds.

In this interview, Enrique and I chat about . . .

- What motivated him to finally get in shape

- How he got down to 8% body fat without going hungry

- How his meal plan took all the unnecessary thinking out of his daily life (while still allowing him to enjoy food)

- How being part of the coaching program motivated him to quit drinking and smoking

- How he navigated a shoulder injury to keep making progress

- And more . . .

So if you’re looking for a jolt of inspiration and like motivational stories, definitely listen to this episode.
