Today we sit down with Kenny Santucci, a former actor now fitness professional and founder of Strong New York. We talk about how accountability can be delivered in different forms; why he made the decision in high school to start taking control of his health and wellness through fitness; and why he feels so strongly about building a fitness community in the city he loves, New York.

Today I sit down with Jess Glazer, former national level gymnast now business coach. Jess has successfully turned her cute little side hustle into a seven figure business and now teaches other coaches how to do the same. We discuss how her life as a gymnast set her up for all that she’s faced since that chapter ended for her. She shares strategies she learned from physical training that she takes with her in business and how you can do the same.
