You heard of just keep swimming? I got one even better…KEEP MOVING FORWARD! I had the great opportunity to sit down with one of my great friends, Ryan Li, as he takes us through the journey of how he became so passionate in the weight lifting space. After suffering injury after injury, he found his calling. Ryan continues to take on life’s challenges and works every day to become the Highest Version of himself by using the motto “Keep Moving Forward”. Dive into this conversation as we discuss both the importance of physical and mental wellness.
