SUMMARYSteve Hochman, a successful fitness and business coach, re-enters the world of social media after a decade hiatus. He discusses the reason why he left and why he came back. Steve recounts his childhood experience of feeling like an outsider. And after much reflection, he was determined to learn how to make and maintain relationships. The host, Jeff Sherman, found it hard to believe that Steve had once been a loner as he knew him as the person he is today, having walked onto the stage for Project Hex, with a mask and chains. The speaker talks about other life experiences regarding his father going to prison, how caffeine pills messed up his system and gave him extreme physical anxiety, and being a bouncer at a strip club. After a moment of clarity, he was able to get his life back on track. He started working out and eventually became a personal trainer. He made a good friend through the process and has remained friends with him for over 20 years. Despite the difficulties he faced, he was able to take control of his life and turn it around. Steve describes how he got his start in the fitness industry by giving his all to his clients. He recounts a story of an initial client of his who had shoulder surgery and needed to lose 50 pounds. Without even being hired yet, Steve went above and beyond by visiting the client's doctor to learn more about the shoulder injury so he could give the best service possible. This left the man in awe and inspired Steve to continue to give his all to his clients, amazed at the fact that successful people were paying him to do something he was so passionate about.
