About this episode
An inspirational story that is sure to fire you up for the week! In this podcast Matt Paz outlines his journey from rock bottom to qualifying for the triathlon world championships in Kona Hawaii just a few years later. Some would say that he traded one addiction for another, but if you ask me, I'd call it destiny. Matt was born to suffer, inspire, and share his love for fitness with the world. He just had a different path than most. And at the end of the day, he will tell you that he wouldn't have it any other way. Matt currently owns and operates Garden Grove Fitness in Orange County, California. His gym, brand, and community continue to grow at rapid pace. Inspirational stories like this is exactly why I started this podcast! I hope you enjoy it, share it, and reach out to Matt on Instagram and let him know your thoughts.
