This One's Gonna Ruffle Some Feathers...

In this episode, we're gonna ruffle some features and piss a lot of people off. Mainly because we're talking about something completely unrelated to becoming a personal trainer. But, such is life. If you're easily offended, don't listen to this podcast. If you aren't easily offended, dive right in.
