At every step of the way there were forces telling me to stop and take the safe route. My life was comfortable. I worked with amazing people and made enough money. At any point I can go back into my old life and get a job at a gym training my clients not worrying about the outside world. I’d be hitting singles. I’d be Roger Hornsby. Instead I keep going deeper down the rabbit hole because a life without dingers isn’t a life worth living. Everything I’ve done has been shrouded with doubt.

There is a lot of hype and trends in every market but I cannot believe the amount in the fitness industry. I then see that you're shutting this page down! I'm just glad I got to read the advice you've given to so many people before you closed it down.
