This is Part 1 of a fun conversation that I had with Matt Mercurio, an ex-client and best friend of mine from 25 years ago. Matt was one of the first clients that I had when I moved my training business into Boston gay gyms. Matt discusses how we met and what it was like having me as his Personal Trainer. We are completely honest in this episode, and maybe I revealed more than I should have. But, I try to be as honest as possible with you guys, and this is an example of that !

In this episode, I offer...
