In this episode I speak with Gary Vaynerchuk about my 3-year tenure as his personal trainer, coaching him 7-days/week for 3-years straight.
Some of the questions I asked him were:
- What was your very first impression of me? Both during the interview as well as once we began coaching.
- What’s the workout which you cussed me out the most?
- If you could only teach your children 3 things (fitness/health related), what would they be?
- If you lost everything and could no longer afford a full-time personal trainer/nutrition coach , would you still stick with your fitness?
- If there’s one thing you wish I learned from my time with you, what would you want it to be?
- What is your favorite and least favorite exercise?
- How do you think AI will impact the fitness industry?
- And much more...
