If there was one man I wanted to have on the show in the first week of January, right when people are busy making New Year\\u2019s Resolutions and setting health and fitness goals, then it was the man who whips superheroes like Wolverine and Deadpool into shape. He\\u2019s built like a Greek god, runs an ever-expanding health and fitness empire, is a loving family man, and possesses a rolodex that\\u2019s the envy of most people in Hollywood. His list of clients past and present is frankly ludicrous: Hugh Jackman, Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Sebastian Stan, Jake Gyllenhall, Emily Blunt, Cindy Crawford, Anne Hathaway just to name a few.

More importantly, Don Saladino is a man who loves to help and finds joy in serving others. He\\u2019s a natural giver, not a taker, which is a large component of why he\\u2019s enjoyed the success he has. The celeb clients are a nice draw for the podcast, sure, but they\\u2019re really just an indicator from the marketplace that the man is good at what he does, that he adds value, that he really knows what he\\u2019s talking about when it comes to strength and conditioning. More importantly, I know firsthand that the guy has a big heart, he\\u2019s opened up his home to my family when he didn\\u2019t need to which speaks volumes to the kind of man he is, and anytime you come across someone with that blend of kindness, positivity, and discipline, there\\u2019s always lessons worth unpacking.

A well-known celebrity trainer, Don founded Drive 495, has graced the cover of the iconic Muscle & Fitness Magazine, is on the advisory board of Men\\u2019s Health Magazine, and has appeared in the media countless times on the likes of Cosmo, People, US Weekly and the Today Show. He and I talk about the fundamentals of patience, passion, consistency, and plenty of hard work. Lots of hard work.
