About the episode:

Rob and Garrett connect after Rob had shouted to the IG story universe that he wanted to go outside his comfort zone and be on a podcast. He provides insight into how his path changed dramatically when he decided to go into real estate and the ONE thing that initially stood in his way.

Garrett sits down with Evan Witt CEO of the TrainWithMe fitness app to talk all about Evan’s passion for computer science, how he plans to change the lives of Personal Trainers and Coaches with his app, and how he found his entrepreneurial spirit.

Speed to market is key. So is feedback. Being a tech athlete has advantages. Directly impacting people is a quality of entrepreneurs. Evan is open to collaborations with other fitness apps and companies!

-Ross Perot
