Hey guys, this is Stu from 180 Nutrition, and I am delighted to welcome Martin Silva back to the podcast. Martin, mate, how are you?
Martin
(01:19)
I'm really good, thanks, my man. How are you?
Stu
(01:22)
Yeah, very good. Very good. It's been too long, so really, really keen to tap into some of your wisdom today. But first up, for any of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, haven't listened to any of... I think we've done two or three previous episodes, which have been packed full of the most amazing information on body transformation, health and wellness, all of that stuff. I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself please.
Martin
(01:48)
Sure, yeah. Thanks again for having me on, Stu. Really, really appreciate it. [inaudible 00:01:51] just set off here then. I'm sure I've been on this podcast more than Stu, this is like my fifth time or something. Awesome. Yeah, a little bit more about myself. As some of the audience might know, I'm huge... Health and fitness is my life essentially, so I live, breathe, and eat a healthy lifestyle, and I've built a career out of that as well. And I've been within the fitness industry for 15, 16 years now. It sounds crazy, but I still feel like I'm in my early twenties, but I'm actually coming up to 36 now. And I was a qualified personal trainer from the age of 20, and always played sports from a young age, and I've always been just so passionate about fitness.
(02:28)
And now it's got to the point where I always say to people, something might start off as your passion, but then it becomes your purpose. Now it's literally, it's my purpose, and what I'm doing now, obviously with the transformation program and everything else... Because I was a personal trainer face-to-face for about 13 years, and then I built an online transformation program, actually just before COVID happened, about three years ago, and I'm having a much bigger impact this way as well. Because as we talked about before, and we'll talk about today, really helping people change their mindset, really upgrade the way they think, and just basically think at a better level, and change their relationship with food and alcohol, which we all know, the stuff outside of the gym... A lot of my clients love the gym part. You know what I mean? That's the fun part. But the stuff outside of the gym, some of them have had more struggles than others in terms of behavior change and everything else.
(03:19)
But a bit more about myself. I moved over to Oz just like Stu did quite a few years ago. I haven't been here as long as Stu, but I've been here for six years now. So moved over to Oz, came over here for a year from Wales in the UK, and fast-forward six years, I'm still here, permanent resident now, and living in Sydney, living the dream. And Stu's living even more of the dream up there in Byron Bay, you know what I mean? So we can't complain, mate.
