In today’s episode, I continue the story of how Bar Raising Fitness started and how a few unexpected opportunities helped me expand beyond my garage and begin building real momentum.

I talk about the early days, the small wins, the challenges, and the moments that pushed BRF forward when most people would have quit. These were the steps that helped me grow my reach, gain clients, and slowly turn a dream into something real.

In today’s episode, I go back to the early days of Bar Raising Fitness and share what it really looked like when I first got started — long before I had a plan, experience, or the “perfect conditions.”
This is the story of how BRF began inside a small one-car garage with used equipment, cheap flooring, and a whole lot of belief… and why getting started before I was ready changed everything.

Here is a link to view photos of what the garage gym looked like:

In this episode, I share the story of a mountain man whose words completely shifted my perspective on life. It forced me to ask why I was letting stress, past mistakes, and other people’s opinions control my happiness and mental state. Sometimes all it takes is one moment to wake up and realize what truly matters — and what doesn’t. This conversation changed the way I live.
