Laura sits down with Michael Autore, a New York-based coach and entrepreneur transitioning from his full-time role at MOTIV to focus on his brand SlimThick. Michael shares his journey from small-town Connecticut to NYC's fitness scene. Navigating personal loss during the pandemic while building community through Instagram Live classes, he shares how that shaped his coaching philosophy—one that prioritizes clients leaving happier than they arrived. Michael also discusses his three pillars of confidence, the power of betting on yourself, and why he believes in meeting people where they are rather than forcing them into rigid fitness boxes.
