Manage episode 441023518 series 2569773
In this latest episode of Chasing Common Ground, I sat down with Matteo Marra, a personal trainer who originally started his career in the kitchen! We talk about his switch from being a chef to running his own online fitness coaching business and all the twists and turns in between.
Here’s what you’ll hear about in the episode:
* Matteo’s Culinary Background: How working long hours in a restaurant led him to rethink his health and ultimately switch careers to fitness coaching.
* Transition to Online Coaching: Matteo shares how he went from training people in his garage to building a successful online coaching business with his girlfriend.
* Food & Fitness: We dive into the relationship between food, culture, and fitness, and why food is so much more than just fuel.
* Travel Adventures: Matteo’s stories of bike-packing through New Zealand, and how travel has impacted both of our lives in unexpected ways.
* Social Media Real Talk: How we both handle those weird (and sometimes harsh) comments from people online, and how to keep things fun and positive.
Some Fun Quotes:
* “Turns out, you can make a healthy turkey sandwich, even if you hate cooking!” – Matteo Marra
