The chemistry of this episode with Sam was incredible and I'm so excited for you all to hear this one. I was recently on Sam's podcast, Transformation Talks, and we really hit it off. So, of course, I had to return the favor and he did not disappoint. Sam is an online nutrition coach, fat loss specialist, and a genuine dude with sick tattoos covering most of his body.
