Recreating Himself Created The Need To Serve Others Through Fitness...And Wendy Is Going To Give It A Try!

We try to fit in so much with everyone, just to look cool or to keep up with the trend. Sometimes fitting in means forgetting who you really are and what you really want, which ends up destroying yourself. So, instead of trying to fit in, we should try to improve ourselves, discover our own happiness, and push ourselves outside of our comfort zone. We’ll see lots of limitless opportunities knocking on our doors.

In today’s episode, we have invited Damion Bankhead, the owner of Be Your Own Boss Fitness. Damion will share how he went from being bullied in his high school years, to becoming an established fitness coach.
