The Mack Talks

As a co-owner of G.O.A.T Mafya Fitness, Andy Bermans main mission is to make each individual client feel and strive to be their personal best. Seeing that most of his life revolves around fitness, it's only fitting that he blends together his love of being a personal trainer with his love of charity. He has started and assisted with numerous charities including the Push Against Cancer for the Hole in the Wall Gang (raising over half a million), Hang Like Coffman, and worked with Scott Johnson (host of The Mack Talks) with his foundation, Newtown Strong. In the words of Berman, "I was merely a stepping stone for so many people to do the right thing." Charity is a selfless act. In this episode, you'll be able to hear Berman's passion and support for his community.

From a U.S. paratrooper to a body guard to an expert in East Asian Medicine, Dr. Ken Hoffman has made many strides in his life. He currently sits as medical director and lead acupuncturist at his Natural Health Clinic, Sophia Natural Health. In the last two decades he has seen over 7,000 patients and provided more than 80,000 treatments with the help of his medicine system, Natural Integrative Medicine.
