Episode 104 - Lucy Hendricks

To put things into perspective, Lucy Hendricks isn't just on the podcast because she's a female fitness professional and I want to even out the playing field for International Women's Day. However I did make sure we mentioned IWD because if you give me a microphone I'll say what I think is important.

Lucy Hendricks is on the podcast because she has an influence on many prominent male fitness professionals in the greater industry. The ways in which she does what she does has the power to make a lasting, sustainable impact on others as well as the people they interact with. I greatly respect that. 

To be quite honest with you, I've been following her for a while, probably 2 years. My male fit pro friends that I've learned from told me that she was someone that I should be following. So I did. A few weeks ago, she shared something in her Instagram story that just hit me so I messaged her to see if she could come on the podcast to talk about it. It correlated so much with topics that come up in my life nearly every day.

I want to make an impact in more than just the generic run of the mill fitness career in the lives of not only my clients and people in the gym but also my close friends and family. This stuff is real.

If I'm lucky, it will have a trickle down effect and the people I positively impact will then be in a place where they can positively impact the people that surround them, or be better positioned to hold space in a very life changing way. 

I'm hyping this episode up more than what I typically do, not as a disservice to my wonderful past guests who I admire, but the topics discussed were really important to me. It took a lot of courage for Lucy to talk about it all and she put a lot of trust in me as her host to be the one to publish it on audio. Without hype, you may just think it's just another episode of the many that I put out.

Take that as a sign. It's not just another podcast episode.
