About this episode
How would you find the motivation and strength to transform your life after experiencing adversity?
Join me as I talk with Doug Bopst, an award-winning personal trainer, author of three books, and host of the Adversity Advantage Podcast, who is on a crusade to inspire others to overcome adversity and become the best version of themselves. He’s a former convicted felon and drug addict who spent time in jail for “possession with intent to sell.” While locked in a cell, he slayed his personal demons, kicked addiction, and completely reinvented himself.
Doug shares his journey of redemption through fitness, shedding light on his emotional and mental challenges and sharing his unique insights on battling body fat and belly fat with resilience, nutrition, and mindset principles.
