In this episode of Unleash Your Ultimate You: Change Your Mindset, Change Your Body, Gordon sits down with Fred Posimo—entrepreneur, martial artist, massage therapist, and personal trainer. Fred breaks down why he's done "more in the last decade than most do in a lifetime," how ADHD can be a superpower for entrepreneurs, and why he's obsessed with "hacking the system" instead of following the traditional path. They dive into bucket lists, bodybuilding, learning to fly, and the real foundations of health: movement, mobility, flexibility, and strength. They also get practical—why most people don't need hours in the gym, how 30-minute sessions can transform your body, and why mastering basic movement patterns like the squat can change your entire life.
Entrepreneur and trainer Fred Pacimo joins Gordon to talk fitness, mobility, and "hacking the system"—why movement equals longevity, why 30 minutes in the gym is enough, and how to train for real life strength.
Fred Posimo is an entrepreneur, lifelong martial artist, massage therapist, assisted-stretch specialist, and personal trainer. He's spent nearly two decades training martial arts and now helps clients move better, reduce pain, rebuild mobility, and gain strength through smarter training—not longer training.
"Movement equals longevity—period. If you're not moving, you're aging faster. Today, Fred Posimo and I break down why 30 minutes beats 3 hours, how to fix your movement patterns, and why the squat might be the most underrated skill you can build."
