It was like a slow motion sequence in a Guy Ritchie film when a bare knuckle boxer takes a knock-out punch, except the boxer is me and the knock-out punch is roughly 5000 pounds of metal. On this episode of the podcast, I talk about my personal fitness journey, starting with a pivotal moment in the summer of 2012 that changed my life!

As I reflect on my conversation with fascial stretch therapist Sarah Mariano, the power of personal experience and information sharing becomes more and more evident. Sarah went from sustaining injury, to searching for information, and then empowering others through treatment and information sharing. But one of the challenges for therapists like Sarah and individuals seeking treatment, is finding the right tool or information space to connect with one another. Enter today's guest: NCAA all-American athlete, member of the 2012 Canadian Olympic Team, Author of Endure: An Athletes Guide to Faith, Hope and Success, and most recently, co-founder and CEO of FIXT – a mobile app slated for release in 2017 that provides athletic injury solutions by connecting injured athletes with the best therapists in the community.
