So this dude named Jaiya Figueras started working at my personal training studio about 5 years ago. He was struggling pretty bad financially and had some dark personal stuff going on (I let him tell you about it)

I had no where else to go but up and I sat down at a table with a pen and a paper with Steve Hochman. This was the Steve before the blog but with the same fire and drive.
He asked me 2 things:
