In this inspiring episode, join Dr. Corbin as we dive into the incredible story of Mical and Chris Baez, a couple who found strength, resilience, and purpose through their community and faith. Mical, a former medical school graduate, shares her courageous decision to pivot from a medical career to protect her health and the well-being of her unborn child during the COVID-19 pandemic. Chris, with a passion for fitness and coaching, reveals his path from the military to becoming an entrepreneur.

Learn about their business model, which encompasses online fitness, online nutrition coaching, their innovative mobile gym trailer and how they leveraged community support, prayer, and encouragement to build a thriving fitness ministry centered around the belief that the divine power within them is greater.

Join us as we explore the importance of community colleges in providing opportunities for veterans, career-changers, and aspiring entrepreneurs. Discover how the Strive program, in collaboration with Syracuse University's Institute for Veteran and Military Affairs, has played a vital role in their journey.
