  • S2 E12 ft. Joey Salgado: Business and Personal Ethos + Progressive Motion's Origin Story

    Joey Salgado, co-founder of Progressive Motion, returns to the podcast

    Joey has been instrumental in empowering me with the tools and skills to navigate various physical demands that my life requires, such as hitting a golf ball 300+ yards, constructing two gyms from scratch, deadlifting 500 pounds, and parenting two energetic toddler boys. As I've taken on these new roles, my priorities have shifted, and time constraints have become... more constrained. Through it all, Joey has equipped me with the knowledge to do everything I want to do at a high level, 


    On this episode, Joey shares the Origin story of PM, and we discuss how our personal growth journeys and dedication to self-improvement have shaped our business ethos and approach to life.


    Stay tuned for part two, where we will cover the ABCs of recovering from an injury by sharing a framework for both the mental and physical aspects of recovery.
