#45: Jonathan Goodman on Bringing the Fitness Industry Together, A Healthy Lifestyle Being “Normal”, Parallels Between Business and Fitness Success, and More!

Jonathan Goodman is bringing the fitness industry together. Since 2011 he's published 11 books, welcomed over 20M visitors to his website, and sold over 250,000 educational items to health and fitness enthusiasts. Originally from Toronto, Coach Goodman has enjoyed over 1,300 days exploring the world with his young family. Please follow him on Instagram at @itscoachgoodman.

You already know that there is a lot of nonsense in fitness and health. Jonathon is on a mission to bring all the good people together to ultimately help as many people as possible. We all benefit in all aspects when we all work together. We spoke about how critical this is, as well as the importance of being ruthlessly authentic in all that we do.

We spoke about how abnormal it is to actual lead a healthy lifestyle. It shouldn’t be weird, or even “rewarded” to exercise and eat healthy – it should just be normal human behaviour. Yet here we are.

As usual, we made connections between things learned in the gym applied to life lessons outside of the gym. Jonathon also shared a couple fantastic stories about the early days of building his business.
