The Jenn Kennedy Show

Happy Friday Feels, Tribe! I hope that your week has been AMAZING, and if it’s been hard, this episode is going to make it better. Today, we’re talking all about adversity and how difficult times can shape us for the better. My guest today is probably one of the most inspiring people that I know: Doug Bopst. He’s an award-winning personal trainer, author, speaker, business owner, and an incredible podcast host. He’s also someone who has overcome so much adversity in his life and even found himself in a jail cell for a time. His story of transformation has impacted so many lives, and he’s the epitome of someone who has built a business from impact and created income as a result. I can’t wait for you to learn from him and be inspired by his abundant life! Let’s get into it!

He is a former felon and drug addict, sentenced to months

in jail due to being found guilty of “possession with intent to sell.” He chose to use his time locked in that small cell to beat his demons and reinvent himself, thanks to a combination of faith, family, and fitness.

He has helped hundreds of people improve their health and wellness. He is the author of three books: "From Felony to Fitness to Free," about how people can turn a negative into a positive and make the most of their second chance. His second book, "Faith Family Fitness," encourages readers to cultivate their spirituality, believe in themselves and stay mentally, physically, and spiritually fit. In his third and latest book, "The Heart of Recovery," he interviews many of the most inspiring individuals in recovery from of all walks of life to learn what they are doing to thrive in recovery from addiction.

He has been featured on national media outlets such as the Today Show, Men's Health, Goalcast, Cheddar, Greatist, Thrive Global and others. Doug has also been featured as a guest on various podcasts including Impact Theory, Rise Together Podcast, Rich Roll Podcast, This Life with Dr. Drew and One37pm. He has also been featured on local media outlets in his hometown such as WBAL 11, WJZ 13, and WMAR 2 and in the Baltimore Sun as one of Baltimore’s “12 Fitness Heroes” in 2015.

"From Felony to Fitness to Free," a short documentary about his story, premiered at The Reel Recovery Film Festival in Los Angeles and New York City in 2018. He has spoken to and worked with many companies, organizations, and schools including McCormick and the Clemson football team.

Happy Wednesday, Tribe! That’s right — I’m talking through your headphones on a Wednesday because last weekend Pat and I were at my brother’s place because our house was up for sale and I wasn’t able to record as usual. But never fear, I’ve still got a message I want to share with you all this week!

Here’s the thing: You can create the life and business of your dreams. Yes, you can! And it’s easier than you might think. In fact, I can break it down into a two-step process: Believe in yourself, and start living as if the success you want is already here. I know it sounds crazy, but if you start thinking and acting like everything you desire is already in your life, you will raise your vibration and send a strong signal to the universe that you are ready to receive abundance. Let’s dive in a little deeper a talk about how you truly can receive everything you desire!

What You Will Learn…

- The importance of believing in yourself and your vision for the future

- How to start living as if your dream life is happening

- How to raise your vibration to a frequency of success and abundance
