This week marks our 50th podcast episode!

The number 50 is surrounded by colorful balloons and streamers

In honor of this week’s podcast episode #50 we are excited to once again be joined by our friend, and fellow evidence-based exercise specialist Patty Durell from Rock Solid Fitness. Patty was kind enough to take some time from her very busy schedule to visit with us, and chat about where we are, where we’ve been, and where we want to go.

Join Jesse, Liam, and Patty Durell as we discuss things we have learned during our first 50 episodes such as how we stay fresh and focused, things we have learned from some of our amazing guests, how we maintain our work/friendship relationship as we move our business forward, and what we are looking forward to as we expand our presence into the social media world and beyond.
