What can you learn after 11 years and 500 episodes of listening to world-class strength trainers, exercise scientists, and HIT Business experts?
In this milestone episode, Discover Strength CEO Luke Carlson turns the tables on Lawrence Neal (me!) and we talk about the most high-impact things you can do as a fitness business owner, as a strength trainer, and as a family man trying to find a healthy work-life harmony (that word, specifically — you’ll find out why soon!), among many other things I’ve learned in over a decade of hosting a podcast like this one.
I’m grateful to Luke, to all of the guests who have graciously come on the podcast, and to all of you for listening — none of this would be possible without you deciding to make HIB a small part of your day every week, so thank you very much.
Please enjoy this episode, and don’t forget to check out some of the things we highlight in the Show Notes sections below.
