Laurent Amzallag is living his dream—part fitness guru, part stand-up comic, and all heart. In this episode, the Montreal-born founder of FlexPods shares how a near-death childhood illness, including a collapsed lung and multiple infections, shaped his lifelong devotion to movement and health.
Laurent’s story moves from hospital beds to the Dr. Oz Show, from Oprah’s 𝐿𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑌𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝐵𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝐿𝑖𝑓𝑒 Tour to the comedy stage. He believes fitness should feel like a celebration, not a chore—and that laughter belongs in every workout and every life.
We talk about overcoming rejection, finding joy in service, and what it takes to stay energized while chasing multiple passions. Whether you’re into reps or punchlines, Laurent’s approach will leave you feeling inspired—and smiling.
