What happens when your life suddenly takes a detour, your career as a boutique fashion designer suddenly comes to a halt, and you wander into a fitness studio at the suggestion of the owner of the studio? Probably not what you thought, but then suddenly 30+ years later fitness is your life and we do mean your life. Jon Griswold, fitness consultant and international master instructor/trainer, talks about his life in the world of fitness where for many years he was a stand out, simply because he was a guy in a female dominated world. But the icing on the cake of this conversation is the nimbleness of his fingers that led him to his side gig, which we will knit all together as the story unfolds.
