His journey offers a unique perspective on maintaining a healthy lifestyle amidst the chaos of parenting. Tune in as coaches David Syvertsen @davesy85 and Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic discuss with Ashwin how parenting reshapes our lives and perceptions, and the unique challenges it presents when it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Our chat delves into Ashwin's incredible journey to physical and mental transformation. His story is a testament to the power of commitment, dedication, and how one can repurpose the gym as a coping mechanism during hard times. We also discuss how finding like-minded partners in fitness can help in the journey, the balance of making decisions for the business while being mindful of the people it affects, and how fitness is not an expense, but an investment.
