If we're going to seek out the advice of another, we need to make sure they're a person who can be trusted. This is especially true when trusting them with something as valuable to us as our health and fitness.

Today's guest on the podcast is a man that fits this description. His name is Alexander Juan Antonio Cortes. Alexander is an experienced personal trainer and online fitness coach. He writes (and speaks) with honesty, conviction and authority. After interacting with him on Twitter for several months - and reading his email newsletters - I knew he was someone I wanted to bring on the podcast to provide today's men with the direction and motivation needed to align their health and fitness with their innate masculinity.

Today's podcast is full of actionable content that will be useful for men no matter where they're at along the spectrum of health and fitness.
