Brenan Ghassemieh is a great friend and a damn good trainer. He played football at Idaho State University, has prepared countless athletes for the NFL Combine and is currently working at Equinox as a trainer and Tier X Manager. He has worked with kids, athletes and senior citizens, connecting with all on an extraordinary level, which is why I wanted to bring him on.

Brenan is a firm believer in living well, practicing mindfulness and the art of being present. There are few I see who walk the walk when it comes to these subjects so I wanted to hear about his daily habits and rituals that center him and this conversation didn't disappoint. We went deep down this rabbit hole of what makes people so afraid to face their inner monologue, how to memorialize our thoughts and the importance of acknowledging the realities of our lives.
