The Business Meets Fitness Podcast

In this podcast, I had the honour of interviewing Bret Contreras, The Glute Guy. Bret invented the well known movement: The Barbell Hip Thrusts. He is the 'go to' guy when it comes to glute training, so we speak about how he became the number one within this niche.   We speak about so much, and this is an episode you need to give a full listen to.   Free Online Fitness Business Email Training: https://laurentickner.com/pages/free-email-training Bret's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bretcontreras1/ Lauren's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurentickner
