We are still in the first month of the New Year, which I wanted to keep our focus on health and wellness, because I believe this should be one of the cornerstones we put our attention towards. Not just because it’s the beginning of a New Year, but because truly when you feel your best it reflects in ALL areas of your life. This episode though is especially for the ones that find it hard to keep a routine, that maybe fitness and nutrition is one area your struggle in maintaining, or simply for that person that is committed to making this year the year you take ownership of your health and wellbeing. 

My guest today is Carl Daikler, the co-founder and CEO of BODi, formerly Beachbody, a pioneer in at-home fitness and nutrition for over 25 years. A direct marketing expert turned wellness entrepreneur, Carl created the breakout hit :08 Minute Abs before building one of the industry’s most comprehensive libraries of fitness and nutrition content, including over 140 unique programs including P90X and Insanity from world-renowned “Super Trainer” experts.  

Under his leadership, BODi evolved from Beachbody, reflecting a shift from appearance-focused goals to holistic health. He spearheaded innovations like Shakeology®, one of the leading superfood supplements, and built one of the earliest social-influencer and affiliate networks to drive growth and community support.

Now let’s talk about this subject:
