Good morning. I'm very good, Stu. Thanks for having me on, man.

Stu

01:23

Oh, cannot wait to chat. But first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, haven't listened to the previous conversations that we've had, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself please.

Martin

01:35

Sure. Yeah. So obviously, name is Martin Silva. I'm from Wales in the UK and I live in Australia now and that's kind of how Stu and I crossed paths. So I moved to Sydney five years ago, but yeah, long story short, really I live, breathe, and eat health and fitness. I started off as a personal trainer at the age of 19. I'm almost 35 now and two, three years ago, I built an online transformation program, coaching transformation program.

Martin

I've competed as a bodybuilder at a high level. And yeah, basically, I just live, breathe, and eat this stuff. And nowadays, I'm in a place where I'm just very much like Stu, just dialed into just living my life and just really living my life to the maximum in terms of feeling good, optimizing my health, and just having good balance as well in my life.

Martin

02:24

But yeah, now I'm in a position where I'm helping. I'm changing lives with what I do and the reason I'm able to do that is because of my own experience. Obviously I mentioned before, with body building, I used to struggle with binge eating and stuff for a couple of years and all these struggles and kind of things that I experienced and not to mention all the hundreds of people I've coached has now enabled me to have a much bigger impact on people's lives. But yeah, that's just a little bit more about me anyway, mate. So yeah. By the way, I've been there for five years. Got my permanent residency for Aus last year, which I'm over the moon with.
