About this episode

I was so glad to finally connect with Brad at the Evolve Conference where we both spoke. We had dinner and realized we were both hoop fanatics, loved the fitness industry and were obsessed with our craft. It was is important that we did this episode and it was an absolutely packed episode of value!

He completed his PhD and Fellowship in diabetes and metabolism where he examined how diet and exercise can affect the initiation and progression of disease. His entrepreneurial career has been focused on building businesses in the nutrition, fitness, and wellness industries from initiation to scale. He has also worked alongside NASM as a key contributor to their certifications, including the NASM-CNC, NASM-WLS, NASM-CSNC, NASM-VCS, NASM-PBC, and NASM-CWC and am presently serving on the NASM Scientific Advisory Board. 


Brad is the co-founder and COO of Macros Inc, a company on the Inc 5000 in 2022 that has coached over 25k clients and has built a community of over 400k people.
