Wake Up The Sun

I had heard of Guido in the world of Crossfit for years.  Founder and creator of PEAK360 a Crossfit Affiliate gym in South Miami, Guidos name is held in high regard amongst trainers, high level athletes and the community. His passion for helping others is rooted in his belief in God, a strong faith, hard work ethic and consistency. I had the opportunity of MC'ing his Rising Tides event held at his facility prior to his other creation, WODAPALOOZA kicking off down at Bayshore Miami. Admittedly I was quite nervous walking into PEAK but was greeted warmly and felt a part of from the minute of walking through the doors. 

After a successful evening I got to speaking with Guido and invited him on the show. One of my favorite things to do is travel podcast so on the eve on the Crossfit Open I drove down and spent some time learning more about Guidos story and how he grew a small gym into what it is today. He is NOT a morning person and never has been but once he gets going its doesn't stop. His morning routine is filled with God, family and focus. His week is already planned so after his morning routine he heads to the gym to surround himself with an amazing community. He spends his time coaching, training and improving other peoples lives and enrich his own in the process. 

If you haven't had the chance to stop by PEAK360 and meet Guido please do so. The team and culture that he and his wife have built are incredible. You can follow along on insta @peak360fitness or @guidotrinidad. We hope you enjoy the show!

I met Nick on the mean streets of Delray Beach in early 2011. We both were working in the fitness world, training clients, group training and enjoying South Florida. Our paths crossed pretty regularly but as time passes people move on or evolve into other areas of life. 

Now, right around the time of Covid, Nick was training clients and began starting to go online as the gyms were closing. He always had a passion for motorcycles and when not training clients he learned how to take apart, rebuild & customize bikes. 

Due to a nasty spill on his bike where fortunately he wasn’t hurt too seriously he began to look into the retail and clothing side of motorcycle wear. Nothing was chill enough to wear around where it didn’t look like you were a biker. 

He and his friend familiar with the space got to work and the result was @nickyboys_toyz at www.nbtclothing.com. They are more than just a one stop shop for bike gear and culture but an expanding brand into other areas that Nick is passionate about. 

We hope you enjoy the podcast and have a most triumphant day! You can reach them at www.nbtclothing.com 

I met Justin many years ago through my wife and brother in law.  A long time resident of South Florida and man of the people, Justin has transitioned from bartender to real estate professional and social media guru.  I had the pleasure of being on Justin's podcast where we spoke about business, life and effort and was so pumped to have him on the Wake up the sun show to speak about what changed the course of his life and how he went all in on real estate. 

As a seasoned veteran of customer service, human interaction and connection it made for a seamless transition. "Its all about showing up" listening to the client and delivering the best outcome based on the clients needs. Justin maximizes the experience of working with a client with personal touches of thank you notes, birthday greetings and personalized connection. Justin is big on gratitude and when thinking of someone or his accountability people sending out texts of gratitude for something that they helped him with in life and being grateful for their help, support or guidance. "You never know what impact you make on someones life or they can make on yours", getting a reminder of that is what its all about.

If you are a local resident of Palm Beach County and haven't met Justin out and about,  I suggest you do. He's an incredible conversationalist, humorous and very informative when it comes to many topics in life. You can reach him @himmelsellshomes or 561-302-9709. We hope you enjoy the show!

I was connected to Caleb through a mutual friend this year. I reached out to ask him to come on the show and took some time as he was and is in the midst of building his clothing brand, LIFTID. We finally got some time to sit down and get to know each other and what I heard was the confidence, compassion and overall desire to be the best he can be with the time he has on the planet. He dropped "at one point I realized, I was going to die" followed with if I don't start now then it will never happen.

With a background in fitness and personal training, Calebs earlier years were focused on working hard for his clients and the big box gym in Atlanta but the after hours were spent wasting time and making poor decisions. Upon moving down to Florida he always had a desire to be a creator and one day he made some comfortable tee shirts, got a foldable table and showed up to share his products with people in the community. From his genuine attitude and approachable demeanor people raved about his shirts and he found himself running through inventory quickly. He was onto something and kept going because he knows people buy on emotion. While his home doubles as his office he gave up his day job and dove headfirst into the business. 

Caleb shares that there is nothing really different about him or LIFTID. His goal is to make someones day better and add value to their lives. He keeps it super simple and is fulfilled by meeting new people and having others reach out for more gear. His goals include going The Olympia bodybuilding events and being able to share his product with everyone and anyone. If you are local please go check out what Caleb and LIFTID has to offer or check them out on instagram @liftid_apparel or @caleb.troutt. You can also visit their website at www.liftidapparel.com We hope you enjoy the show!

I met Derek years ago through mutual friends and he always was super kind and had great energy. What I didn't know is that he was building an amazing business and culture behind Razorback Electric. Over there years I would run into him randomly at a workout or community event and it seemed that every time there was a new family member. Derek is a father first, husband and local business owner with an absolutely amazing story of overcoming tragedy and turning it into triumph. 

What started out as a simple and humble service job for another business changed Dereks life for the better. He dug ditches and showed up no matter what. His boss at the time became an incredible mentor to him and encouraged Derek to learn more about the process and business. Derek remembers the old times fondly in that it was so simple, get up, get plugged into good living, go to work and do whatever was asked of him and then repeat the next day. The system is pretty simple once you get into that routine and habit. Along the way he went back to trade school to learn more about what he was doing all while focusing on showing up for the customer and providing the best service he could.

Fast forward to 2023 and he was transformed his life and the life of those around him by consistency building off the fact of effort, quality work and surrounding himself with the best people possible. He's admitted to having his struggles with observing how some people do business down here and realizes that he can only control how he operates and encourages his employees to do the same. His day to day consists of how he began his journey......Get up take care of his "roommates", get connected to God, have his day planned out to get the small tasks done one at a time and remember to stay present in the beautiful life that he enjoys each and every day. 

Razorback Electric has a staff of tradesmen, fully licensed and accredited and will complete your project as planned. They specialize in residential new home construction, current home upgrades, electrical panel repairs and/or replacement, and custom lighting of the interior and exterior of your home. In the commercial field, Razorback Electric, Inc., works with many contractors on ground-up business construction, commercial wiring, custom lighting, walk-in refrigeration and the many other custom wiring and lighting needs of the business industry. 

We hope you enjoy the show and if you are in need of his services please do not hesitate to reach out at www.razorbackelectric.com or on instagram @razorbackelectric

I met Caitlin back in 2016 when she would come train with her volleyball team at Impact Sports Performance. As the years progressed I watched her transition from playing sports at a collegiate level to training and then beginning her own coaching/training and brand. In a short amount of time she has come a long way. She sat down with me over lunch to tell me about the tremendous amount of charity and service she was involved with. As we sat, I knew more people needed to hear her story and journey from Miami to becoming an entrepreneur and giving back to young women that may miss out on a chance to excel in their sport. 

Growing her brand took 1-3 years of working with others and learning what to and NOT to do in business. She values each learning experience and proceeds coming from being her authentic self. She focused so much on programming and packing so much into a training session that she left out one of the most important part of truly connecting with each and every client on a more personal level. That is what drives her now and where she has found most of her success in truly getting to know each client, what drives them and how she can best serve in their journey. 

Her morning routine sets herself up for success each day and starts with readings, prayer and connection to God. Her faith is of utmost importance and prepares her to have a full and most productive day. Caitlin loves her life, job and the chance to serve so please reach out on instagram @chancetoserve or @coachcait__ or her website www.coachcait.com. Enjoy the show!

I was introduced to Josh by his lovely wife Jenna many years ago after a chance encounter at a local juice spot. My wife Chelsea and I were invited to their home and spent some time getting to know each other over delicious food and conversation. Josh by trade is a business man who has worn many hats from teacher, tech genius, salesperson and the list goes on ad infinitum. Josh and I randomly run into each other and caught up over the years regarding ironman training, random ideas for business and FROPRO related questions and recently, Chelsea showed me his TIK TOK account where he discusses business, tips, connecting and coaching on a regular basis. "Why don't you have him on the show?" and that's how it happened.

Josh is a great coach mentor and has had years of experience in sales. He has amazing examples, real life stories in which communicating with people and finding out what they want and where they are coming from is the most important. In a rare flip of the script he started asking me questions and we did a role-play in talking with someone struggling. It got me out of my comfort zone and we began discussing what's the most important for everyone to engage in and he believes mindfulness can solve anything and point people in the right direction if they feel off course. You can follow his journey on instagram @BRAUN or his most followed on TIK TOK - @JOSHUA_BRAUN or LINKEDIN - JOSH BRAUN

One of my favorite couples and stories straight out of Delray Beach. Fit Food Express is nestled in Delray Beach and run by a stellar couple Andrew Arnold and Syd Breiding. They are an incredible couple that met while both working as employees at Fit Foods and became even closer as they lasted through the challenges. The challenges of changing locations, the sale from original owner, multiple people working in and outside the business and the trials and tribulations of being in the highly scrutinized food and meal prep business.

Andrew moved down here to get his life in order and began working part time as a chef and operations employee for fit foods. He was dedicated to making delicious food, delivering quality customer service and maintaining his sobriety. Through the years employees came and went and Syd entered the picture. What started as a co working experience turned into a great friendship and closeness that eventually led to them going on a date and cementing their relationship. When the original owner decided to retire and move, Andrew and Syd saw the opportunity to take over and grow the business. Due to the challenges of commercial real estate in Delray Beach, there was an opening not to far away from the original location. They jumped on it and turned a dilapidated old building into a sleek, fast causal, relaxing space and reopened with a new and improved look. 

Everything worth doing takes time, patience, effort, communication and knowing what you excel at. Syd opens the store every morning and welcomes the community with her warm smile and quiet demeanor. They have build relationships with the people who have been frequenting Fit Foods for years and say its like having a great big family. They are the prime example of following your heart, dreams and putting in a massive ton of effort. I hope you enjoy the show and if you haven't been by to try their food then I suggest you do. You'll feel right at home. They have many more plans to host fun events, try new food items and really encourage healthy quality food for the Delray Beach community. You can visit them at 333 NE 3rd ave and also follow along on instagram at @fitfoodexpressdelray. Enjoy!
