Coaching a Celebrity Trainer Who Bypassed Every Gatekeeper to Help Even More People | Vinnie Tortorich | Ep 1093
"If you want to be extraordinary, you have to do extraordinary things." - Vinnie Tortorich
Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Vinnie Tortorich for a live coaching conversation. Vinnie grew up on a bayou in southern Louisiana, became a celebrity trainer in Hollywood without knowing a soul, and created a book, a documentary seen by millions around the world, the Fitness Confidential podcast, now coming up on 3,000 shows, and his own vitamin and coffee companies. He started one thing to help people, now he's helping even more people, and when anyone asks when he'll retire, his answer is never.
You'll walk away with:
- Why choosing for the long game at 18 still pays off decades later
- How the safest advice around you can be built for someone else's game
- What your failure quotient says about the game you're ready to play
