"EASY DECISION - HARD LIFE, HARD LIFE  - EASY DECISION"  

A mantra to live by.  Kim Jaeger (@jaegerkim), CEO of @Virusintl Europe is very unassuming.  He's quiet, reserved and never the loudest guy in the room.  

From selling Ski packages in late 2018, to leading one of the worlds premier performance apparel brands in Europe just two years later. 

He talks about the hard work in breaking into Europe, the resourcefulness required to start afresh and the humility needed when setting a project up from its infant stage.  

Kim has a great story too, and we know his wisdom will spark some thinking in the listeners.

"ACCOUNTABILITY IN GETTING STARTED" 

 When the podcaster becomes the podcastee. 

Have you ever went to start a project and it lost momentum?  One simple trick is telling someone you respect. 

It mean you're accountable to them and no one likes to let someone they respect down.  

Peter (@coffeepodsnwods) does a great job explaining how he got started, what barriers to entry where for him and how he overcame them.  

We also talk on recent turbulent events in the world, why he loves what he does and how he can talk to world class athletes and not feel the pressure.

ITS SAD THAT GIRLS FEEL PRESSURE TO LOOK A CERTAIN WAY, OR HAVE A CERTAIN BODY TYPE"  

Big topics and big conversations with our very own OLY Athlete @zoekerr13  In the space of 2 years Zoe has already made her mark on the sport of CrossFit, having competed at Wodapoloza amongst other prestigious competitions.  

However, this conversation is about so much more than Zoe and her journey to date.  

We talk social media and the impact it has had on Zoe's generation.  We talk about training and how it changing your stature, is a creating a barrier to entry in exercise, especially in young girls.  

We talk about how young individuals are feeling more pressure than to look a certain way, or have a certain body type.
