G'day, and Welcome to episode one of The protect the asset podcast. Today, I'm excited to be talking to Matt Connolly about his career journey.
Matt worked as a special forces police officer in central London when he decided to change careers and open a CrossFit gym. He left the police force and followed his passion for all things health and fitness.
After owning and managing the gym for a few years, Matt started training more and more clients online, to a point where he was making more money online than he was from the gym.
He moved his career online and started running athlete workshops around Europe. He was later hired by OPEX fitness as a head coach.
Matt loves a challenge, and he's definatly a passionate coach who will go the extra mile for his clients. However, his career caught up with him, and Matt went through a transformative experience that made him question what he wanted in his career.
Matt is currently training online clients and working with online personal trainers as a career coach. He is a big believer in practising what you preach.
I enjoyed this conversation with Matt as he has a wealth of career experience and knowledge to share when it comes to building a sustainable personal training career.
Let's get stuck in. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Matt Connolly.
