Episode 28 - Dean Somerset

It was not a coincidence that I scheduled Dean Somerset to be on my podcast on my birthday. I mean, that was the day this week that he was most available to guest on it, but that's beside the point. Regardless of what day it is today, it fills my cup to spend as much time with good human beings as possible. 

For anyone who doesn't know, Dean Somerset has his BSc. Kinesiology, he's a certified exercise physiologist, certified strength and conditioning specialist, and medical exercise specialist. If you casually ask him what he does in the gym though, he might just say he's a personal trainer. 

During certain times of the year, he travels around the world to share his wealth of knowledge that came from years of experience in the industry, a passion in the pursuit of learning, and just plain integrity in staying humble and being open to the lessons you can learn from everyone you meet in your life. In addition to presenting at conferences and summits, he creates a lot of material and releases a great deal of knowledge accessible to the masses. He's a goto for continuing education.

He still works with clients one on one, out of Evolve Downtown for the simple reason that we enter this industry to be with people, face to face, and as such,  this still holds importance in his career. 

We talk about family influence, sports, high school life, cookies or ice cream, lasagna, pizza, dogs, and high fives.

I don't really have to sell this episode to you, if you know Dean, you're already listening to it. He's a guy that many people are invested in and I am honoured that he shared his time with me today.

If you enjoy this one, send me a message, tag me in a post or give it a review and a rating. 

You'll be able to find this one on most podcast platforms such as Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Google Play. As always, thank you for listening!
