If you enjoyed this episode, an iTunes review would be SO appreciated! https://tinyurl.com/y8jax3xb SHOW NOTES Scott was born and raised in Richmond Hill, just north of Toronto, Ontario. In the health and fitness world for over 10 years now. A challenging and adventurous cross-Canada drive with an old car in January 2018! Scott founded Optimiize in early 2018. It is a very unique concept: the integration of exercise with physical therapy. An affordable fitness option combined with physiotherapists on staff. Why it makes perfect sense to combine the two separate fields into one: physio + fitness The vital importance of coaching so that you avoid injury AND gain maximum benefit from your workouts. Scott got to work as a trainer for the Canadian National Cricket team, including their appearance at the World Cup in Bangladesh. Was able to obtain his Masters degree in Exercise Science at the same time. Scott is also a RMT (Registered Massage Therapist). For Scott, taking a concept from dream to reality is a lot of fun. We discuss how he came up with the concept for Optimiize and how he is executing that vision. The crucial importance of always acting with purpose and intent in life. Staying motivated and productive while waiting for the realization of his new business venture. The excitement and the challenges of coming to a brand new city with no contacts, no set employment, and unsure of what you will find. Great advice for brand new entrepreneurs. A big shoutout to Todd Embley! While we’re waiting for Scott’s new location to open up, you can find him at Gravity Float and Wellness on Richter Street.
