Graphic Design and Creative Agency owner, Grant Curtis, stops by the studio to tell his story and teach us two major components for a successful life:
#1 – Taking a leap of faith and the risk of stepping out on your own, to build your personal dream business, can be the scariest, yet most rewarding thing, in life. His story shows this and we pick it apart so you can learn how to find your unique passion and expose it to the world, in order to make a living from what you love.
#2 – The transformative path of sobriety is a challenging road, but a powerful one that can literally change someone's life in so many ways. Grant had a hard road when it comes to getting sober, but thank God he did! Learn from his story why this can be so important and how, even if it’s not getting sober, creating positive change can be the most impactful thing you can do for your life.

#975: Q&A - Dealing With Weight Gain, Conquering Fear Of The Scale, Reverse Diet Lengths, and More...

This episode is an interview I did for my great friend Cody Smith’s Podcast, where he brought me on to go over “How To Prep For A Physique Competition” – but specifically to cover it for new competitors and individuals who have never prepped before! So it’s a great overall podcast that I know you’ll get a ton out of, even if your just interested in fat loss and muscle growth alone (rather than competition prep).


Can find Cody on IG @coachcodysmith and listen to his podcast, The Virtuous Coach on Apple or Spotify.
