In this episode, I was honored to welcome Flex Wheeler as my guest. Flex is a former IFBB professional bodybuilder. Among his many professional accolades are 4 Arnold Classic 1st place victories, and 8 Mr. Olympia appearances, 3 of which he was awarded 2nd place. He was described by Arnold Schwarzenegger as one of the greatest bodybuilders he had ever seen. He also had a short career as a law enforcement officer, and is a dedicated Kemp-Kwon-Do enthusiast and former fighter.
We spoke about his difficult upbringing, growing up in Fresno, CA, and how he used martial arts and bodybuilding to improve his situation and settle into a wildly successful, yet turbulent athletic career. He was later diagnosed with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a rare kidney disease that he continues to battle with today. Despite his condition, he continues to travel the world as a motivation speaker while operating his coaching and supplement business. This was an informative and inspirational conversation, and I am excited to share it with you. Enjoy!
