This interview with Luka Hocevar was absolutely epic.Luka owns Vigor Ground fitness, a 12,000 square foot facility just outside of Seattle in a town called Renton. It's the best gym I have ever walked into, so I invited Luka on to talk about his journey to opening that, from being a regular LA Fitness trainer.The interview ended up being SO much more than that.The start of this episode may sound like an advert for his gym, but the point of it is that I want you to hear the vision and the passion, and be inspired if you are looking to do something similar.Later in the interview, we start talking about building a fitness business yourself. How Luka has run charity boot camps for the last 10 years every Saturday, which is not only something he loves doing but has helped him seal a solid reputation in the community and earned him heaps of clients along the way.We dig into how you can leverage ideas such as this to build trust, empower people to make a change, and build a business out of something you love do
