Muscle Intelligence

The Muscle Intelligence Podcast empowers men with the skills, habits, beliefs and processes to lead from the front.

If you're an executive, entrepreneur or high-performer who wants to work smarter, not lose his edge as he ages, or just get the advice of someone who has been in the trenches for the last 25 years, this podcast is for you.
