In this episode I venture into the world of sports and personal training with Matt Mullan, the erstwhile professional rugby player turned personal trainer extraordinaire. Nestled in the heart of the scenic Cotswolds, Matt's gym, Front Row Fitness, is where dreams meet reality. From his early career on the field, tackling formidable opponents with Worcester, Wasps, and England, to his current avatar as a life-changer, Matt has always been an epitome of drive and determination. He has an innate ability to enable his clients to set, pursue, and achieve their personal goals, and it's no surprise he's become one of the most sought-after trainers in the country. As we sit down amidst the bustle of his gym, we attempt to understand the intricate tapestry of Matt's journey - the challenges of being a professional sportsman, the transition to fitness coaching, and the many ways he has seized control of his own destiny through self-investment. This conversation with Matt was truly invigorating - come join us on this exploration of ambition, resilience, and the indomitable human spirit. - Sponsors - @lasportivauk @petzl_official @Arcteryxuk @landrover @lyonequipment @crudecoffeeroasters @evileye.eyewear @reality.maps @incoolcompany @bremontwatches @scallop.offical ... - Supporters - @panorama_lodge_namche @mission.uk @thecoolconversations @vidrate @Everesttoday #kentoncool #coolconversations #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #getitdone #wereinittogether #adventure #adventures #mountain #mountains #mountaineer #mountaineers #nepal #visitbhutan
