LISTEN ON: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY
Todd McCullough shares his inspiring story of how he found freedom and purpose, combining faith and fitness in his home workout business TMAC Fitness.
After years playing professional football and a successful stint as a financial advisor, Todd McCullough found himself at a dead-end professionally after being laid off in 2008. He began working as a personal trainer, posting free online content on the side and building what would become TMAC Fitness: a subscription-based 20-minute workout program with a short meditation practice to close.
His formula is a fantastic way for everyone, from amateurs to athletes, to carve time for their bodies, minds, and overall well-being.
Today he shares his morning routine, life hacks, and spiritual principles that have shaped his body and mindset to be present and grateful for life's beautiful gifts.
