On Episode 4 of Welcome The Winners Circle with Thai Ha Sloan and Derek Pang, we interview Steve Maxwell (IG: @stevemaxwellsc). Wow, what an extraordinary experience it was interviewing this living legend! We touched on SO many important aspects of life and are so grateful we were able to connect with him.
Steve knew from the age of 12 he wanted to help people live healthier lives. He was a physical education teacher, became the first American born Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Relson Gracie, owned and taught at two gyms - Maxercise in Philadelphia PA and the first Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu School in the Eastern US, lost everything, traveled as a nomad for 15 years, and became a leading force in online personal training. At 67 years old, he is still absolutely thriving and leading by example in regards to his physical, mental, and spiritual health.
Here are some of the subjects we touched on: - Steve’s mission and his story - How our thoughts create our reality - Fear, our biggest enemy - Injuries - Relationships - The importance of presence - How to train smart (this was SO important to hear) - The most important lesson he’s learned on his life journey thus far
I really hope you guys enjoy this podcast as much as we did. We are all on the same path, the HERO’s journey, just at different points along the way. Steve is full of wisdom yet still has a beautiful child-like joy for life. We're so grateful for the golden wisdom he shared with us, and now you! Thank you so much for listening and we’ll see you guys again next week for another awesome podcast!

Cristian is an incredible human being. He was always passionate about sports and knew from a young age he wanted to help people feel better.

He is a durability & performance coach, certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS), Lululemon ambassador, Mirror coach, Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) therapist and the Co-Founder and CEO of The Durable Athlete (IG: the_durable_athlete_brand, www.thedurableathlete.com).
It was such a treat to chat with someone who has been continuously going for his WIN and is dedicated to living his truth. Some subjects we touched on:
- Cristian’s mission, his origin story, and what his win looks like today.
- The importance of a holistic approach to fitness (movement, mobility, breath, nutrition, etc).
- The challenges Cristian has faced on his journey
- His morning and evening routines

We really hope you guys enjoy this podcast as much as we did. We are all on the same path, the HERO’s journey, just at different points along the way.
