200.5- Mike Boyle- The Podcast within the Podcast- Replay of Episode 11 of the Stop & Give Me 20 Podcast
Highlights of Special Episode 200.5 Replay of Episode 11 of the "Stop & Give Me 20" Podcast with Mike Boyle The Stop and Give Me 20 Podcast features 20 minute interviews with some of the World's Top Fitness Professionals. Each show will start with their story of what led them into a fitness lifestyle; the spark that fueled their passion to help change lives through their fitness. It moves into the "Superhero Section", where the conversation moves into: 1) Who their biggest influences were growing up and who their real life Superhero was 2) Who their Superhero is now- who in the world they look up to and who they are trying to emulate 3) Who they want to be Superheros to with their message We discuss their opinions on what is happening in the fitness industry, good and bad, and where they might think it’s going. We find out some of the books they are reading and seminars they are attending and what their takeaways are. At some point in the show we do the "Stop & Give Me 5" segment, and that’s basically 5 rapid fire questions (not always rapid fire answers). It’s a fun segment that we are really trying to make personal to them and so far we have had a good time with it. We finish each show with a "Letter to Your Younger Self", where guests are asked to give their younger self advice. I wanted to expose the Strength Coach podcast audience to the Stop & Give Me 20 Podcast Past Episodes include: Mark Fisher Don Saladino Tony Gentilcore Robert Dos Remedios Flor Beckmann Alwyn Cosgrove Patrick Frost Kirsty Godso Giovanni Roselli Geralyn Coopersmith Mike Boyle Frank Dolan Martin "Nedu" Egwuagu Jeff Higuera Nikki Metzger Nick Winkelman Jason C.
