Entrepreneurship and Careers in the Fitness Industry with Kez Klein

On the 16th of December, 2020 I had the golden opportunity to interview John Joseph! He is the original singer of the Cro-Mags and Bloodclot, a plant based eater for the last 40 years, 12 x Ironman, 2 x Kona Championship finisher, a Bhakti Yoga practitioner, Author and a devout follower of the teachings of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. The link to free teachings of Swami Prabhupada is : https://bhaktivedantavediclibrary.org/ He is also probably the toughest vegan I've ever met; he never fails to motivate and spread the message of Positive Mental Attitude (P.M.A. Effect). John was born and brought up in a very tough and challenging environment but the Hare Krishna philosophy changed his life forever! He is changing other peoples' lives now and is passionate about it. His knowledge of the Bhagavad Gita, is outstanding and inspirational. He has a clear message for Indians: "Do not forget your culture and do not try to westernize yourself!"

Artie Gonz @artiegonz was our Speaker on the Fit Geek Show on the 15th of July. He's an Ex-Lifer; if you didn't know what that meant: he served a life-sentence in federal prison (in the USA) for 21 years. Out of those 21 years, he spent 8 years in solitary confinement. Not everyone who gets incarcerated has the capacity to move towards positivity and has the willingness to change for the better. But Artie did so, unlike most of the others. And fitness played an important role in this transformation. Enough said: listen to hear Artie's story of an incredible transformation and positivity in his own words!

The Fit Geek Show is blessed to have renowned guests who have achieved so much in their respective fields! Lyle McDonald @mcdonaldlyle is one such example. Lyle has dedicated over 2 decades of intensive research in the field of nutrition and fitness! If this wasn't enough, he has written more than 10 books on various topics in nutrition and body recomposition. He is the founder of bodyrecomposition.com and also someone I look up to for extremely credible, articulated and in-depth knowledge in this field. He is one of the very few individuals who has studied fat loss in females and acknowledged that it is very different than that in males. His expertise in fat loss for females is beyond imagination and I look forward to helping as many females as possible through this interview.
