Malique sits down with , Founder of Hardin Athletix, to talk about what it really takes to build something that lasts.
Montel walked away from a corporate gym structure in 2018 with a handful of clients and a vision. Today he runs a thriving fitness coaching business with his wife, serves high-performing executives and entrepreneurs, and is building something his kids can one day carry forward.
In this episode, they go deep on the real parallels between building your health and building your wealth. Discipline. Delayed gratification. Long-term thinking. And why your why matters more than any program or portfolio.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
- Why Montel left the security of a corporate gym and never looked back.
- How he found his niche serving busy executives and entrepreneurs.
- The connection between physical discipline and financial discipline.
- What faith has to do with building a business and a family.
- The one thing he’d tell his 20-year-old self that would have put him five years ahead.
If you’re building something and you’re in it for the long game, this one is for you.
