Physical Preparation with Bill Hartman

I’m almost ashamed of the fact that Bill Hartman and I have been good friends for 10 years, we run a business together, AND I’ve recorded almost 60 podcasts over the years yet never had him on as a guest. But quite simply, Bill is not only one of the smartest guys I’ve ever met, […]
