Hello ladies and gentlemen,
How is everyone doing?
I have had a great week so far.
1. I [re]launched my podcast on YouTube and we have over 300 views so far (👇🏿watch it all);
2. Reading Arnold Schwarzenegger's biography like a maniac, which came highly recommended;
3. I signed a new client to work with here in Spain;
4. I pitched my new business to a friend of mine and he nailed what we do - I'm still working on the right words but it sounds like: "What you're doing is fucking awesome, it's a venture builder for businesses and you're doing it with the best people for the job in the world". - I plan to release more details next Friday.
This week I spent a lot of time on my bike and Youtube was my medium of choice - I think I have some great content for you today!
Enjoy and share the love.

I lived in the USA when Lance was the most popular American athlete in the world. He was as big as MJ when he wore the yellow jersey all those years - that's the truth.
I think his ego got so big that he lost track of life and just kept going, but I'm not here to judge. I'm actually here to share one of his last interviews and the one I think he tells the most about his life and everything he's done. If you love cycling or just hate LA, this is a great one for you.
By the way, have you ever worn that yellow wristband? 😎
