Not many people are able to have a highly successful career in politics, higher education, and business in their lifetime, but our latest Walker Webcast guest did just that. Willy was joined by Mitch Daniels, Former Governor of the State of Indiana and President Emeritus of Purdue University.
He and Willy discussed the details of his notable career – including his time as an executive at Eli Lilly and Company, deciding to run for governor of Indiana, and leaving politics to enter the higher education sphere – how he managed to find success in three distinct sectors, leadership lessons he’s learned along the way, next steps for the future, and much more.

On this Walker Webcast, Willy was joined by Joey Gonzalez, CEO of Barry’s, one of the hottest studios in the fitness industry. It should be no surprise that Joey has facilitated the company’s exponential growth as CEO, considering he curated his own career from the ground up – starting as a client at the studio before becoming the company’s CEO years later.
He and Willy discussed his career trajectory beginning as a child actor and eventually climbing the ranks at Barry’s, the importance of community, the effect that the pandemic had on Barry’s as well as the group fitness industry, the company’s ambitious development strategy, how Barry’s has been able to thrive in a highly competitive landscape, what we can expect from the company in the next 5-10 years, and so much more.
