MMB Performance Podcast

We met back in 2016 and I found out very quickly Jesse had a passion for biomechanics, anatomy, physiology and it shows in the way he has trained over the past 10 years. Jesse has a Degree in Exercise Physiology and is also Certified Strength Conditioning Coach. He currently works at an incredible training facility called Train Boston. In his off time he competes in powerlifting and is on his way of competing nationally. You can’t help but be inspired by his Instagram. His work ethic is slim to none.   Please give this a watch. You won’t regret it.

Here was a great interview I did with my good friend Matt Bernier. He has an Applied Exercise Science from Springfield College and now is pursuing his Doctorate Degree in Chiropractic Medicine. Matt also is a CrossFit and Weightlifting Coach and a competitive Olympic Weightlifter. When he is home Matt works at a Chiropractic Rehab/Active Care Provider.  Simply said Matt is someone I highly respect and go to for advice because of his passion for what he does and his goal to help people. This is a great podcast if you have any interest in any related field I talked about above.

Phil is a Physical Therapist, Owner of Element 26, a Strength & Conditioning Coach and someone who has a passion to help better people inside and out.  If your someone who is looking to start your own business or make some positive changes in your life, I highly recommend checking him and his company out!

I want to thank Matt Moulton for coming on the show today! I think he is someone that a lot of you will relate with on many levels. Matt was organically born in Romainia and was adopted at a young age. Knowing him like I do, he I can say is one of the most loving human beings I have ever got to know. He has passion for music and at a young age got into running. He ran on and off but never put all the pieces together when it came to improving his overall fitness level. Over the past year he has dropped over 50lbs by improving his nutrition, increasing his activity and is now planning to do his first marathon this year. I think he is a great example that if you are willing to put in the work that you can do whatever you put your mind to.

I loved talking with my boy Nick Hadge! Nick was the former Junior World Strongest Man and has been competing in Strongman all around the world. He co-started a company called The Performance Vibe that educates and trains a wide range of people and athletes. He is one of the most positive and genuine people I have ever met. I’ll never forget back in 2016 when we worked together at Equinox. I was competing for my Bodybuilding Pro Card while Nick was training for Junior World Strongest Man which we both ended up winning. The point is that he was a huge support system and pushed me to be the best I could be while he had already so much on his shoulders. He’s just someone you will want to get to know. I hope you enjoy Nicks story.

Grateful to have Andy Triana take the time to do a interview with me. Andy is the owner of The Performance Vibe, Allostatic Labs, a competitive strongman, contributor to Muscle & Fitness, and considers him self a Human Performance Theorist. This just touches the surface of the things he’s doing.  I met Andy back in at Springfield College where it didn’t take long to realize his passion for exercise and exercise physiology. For the past 7-8 years he’s found a passion for strongman and has competed in 40 different competitions. The crazy part is he is only 25 years old. He also coaches some of the best strongman and strength athletes around the world. Simply said, if you are passionate about strength training in any form, Andy is a person you have to get to know. Highly recommend listening to this interview.

It was really nice having Morgan on yesterday. She is someone I originally met 3 or 4 years ago in fitness. She at that time was in prep for her first bikini competition But as I got to know her a bit more I learned that she struggled with a eating disorder in her past. Through a lot of work, she took the steps to improve her health and get to where she has today. Morgan also wrote a book at 16 telling her story called Somber Suffocation. She speaks at schools telling her story and now officially just took a job as a eating disorder counselor in Philadelphia. She is someone I would highly recommend on reaching out to if you are struggling or even just have a question.

I interviewed my good friend Nunshel Thys. He is a very positive guy who has over come a lot to get to where he has today. He lived in Haiti at the time of the earthquake and moved from Haiti to the US is 2010. He then overcame the language barrier, went to school for business, started his own brand and has the goal to impact every person he comes in touch with. He loves running, fitness and has a goal to run his first marathon soon. He is still young but way ahead of the mental game and I look forward to seeing him grow.

Our first guest on is my good friend Chad Abatiell. We met at Springfield College and we’re both Exercise Science students but what brought us closer was our passion for Bodybuilding. Chad went on to compete in the NPC in Bodybuilding and placed 4th in his division. He worked at LA Fitness as there PT Manager in Springfield Ma. Chad then got the opportunity to move out to Boston where he know works as a Personal Trainer at Equinox in Chestnut Hill Ma. He is someone that believes that to get better you have to constantly challenge yourself which you find out in the story’s we talk about in this interview! We hope you enjoy the first interview on “What’s Your Story?.
