Robin, at age 36 was a self proclaimed "D List Rockstar" touring the world putting on shows, when his doctor told him that he needed a massive lifestyle shift following a seizure. So he chose the only natural thing to do, he became a professional fighter, and eventually, one of the fight commentators in the world. . Robin's instagram account @RobinBlackMartialArts is where you can find his epic "1 minute breakdown" videos of some of the most beautiful violence you will ever see.

Guests: Ryan Cage, Bobby Weiler, PR Star CrossFit   People want more from their gym membership. . Especially in the case of “micro gyms” like CrossFit, the public perception is that membership is too expensive when an alternative is going for a run in the street for free. . CrossFit PR Star is an exception to that rule. With a loyal membership, and a robust personal training culture, CrossFit PR Star is charging more than most gyms, and overdelivering for its members. . In this podcast you will learn how gym owner Ryan Cage has empowered his staff to allow his coaches, like Bobby Weiler who is also in this interview, to quit his full time job as a SWAT Team member in Virginia to coach full time. . This is an important podcast for anyone who works in the fitness business or in a leadership position at their career. . Find More from CrossFit PR Star at: @CrossFitPRStar .

There is a dirty little secret in the healthcare world that no one is talking about. Well, no one except Zak Gabor that it. . Most Physical Therapists and Chiropractors graduate school, and have no idea what to do next. They know that they are required to get continuing education, but in what? There is an ocean of approved coursework available to them. . The logical next step for a young professional is to hone in on their skills, to become a more knowledgeable doctor and to learn new physical techniques. . But what if that's wrong? What if there is something more valuable to learn? . Zak believes there is. On today's podcast we discuss why communication is the overlooked holy grail of patient care and what both doctors and patients need to do about it. .

If you work in the fitness world, you have heard someone say "you don't get into fitness for the money." . We hate that expression. We hate it because we disagree with it. If you are a fitness professional, you did get into fitness for the money. You DID NOT get into fitness because of the money. . Everyone needs to make a living. Fitness professionals choose to do that by helping other people. Those who are true, dedicated, professionals, take their responsibility so seriously that it is the ONLY thing they are willing to do for money. That is the major mindset shift that it takes to be successful in this business. . On today's show, Dr. Sean interviews five coaches who have gone through the Active Life Immersion Course with the explicit intent behind it being to achieve financial freedom as a fitness professional.  . Each of these coaches wanted to stop struggling with time and/or money, and become the trusted resource in their area at helping people workout without pain and frustration. . Today, we dive into the decision making process these professionals went through before deciding to spend their money in exchange for education, and we learn about how their lives and those around them are different for it. . Note, on today's show we intentionally selected five coaches with massively different local demographics. One is a gym owner, the other four work in gyms. All five are winning. .
