Clark “The Man The Myth The Legend” Bartam 

Changing the world 1 Man at a time.  Clark is a fitness legend, with over 130 fitness or bodybuilding magazine covers.  He coaches CEO’s and men over 40y to live their best life through a fitness lifestyle program he has created over 30 yrs in the business of maximizing lean muscle and low body fat without trendy gimmicks.  

I was a fan of Clark since the 90’s, envious of the body he created and all the magazine covers he was on.  Luckily, I met him here in Las Vegas and got him to be on my podcast only to find out we are the same age and have a lot of the same philosophies around fitness coaching and mindset. Recently Clark has ran into his biggest challenge at 60 yrs. old when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.  We talk about this and the new frontier he’s embarking to encourage men to get checked with his CBX Neb’s Health Test Kits and his “Check It Like A Man” organization.   Check It Like A Man, Inc. is a non-profit organization whose mission is to create awareness for prostate cancer, and the need for men to check their PSA levels regularly.

Men over 35 need to watch this entire show and women with significant others over 35 need to watch as well.  At the very least you will be inspired to do something.
