// EPISODE SUMMARY

Don LaTorre left corporate HR — with a wife, three kids, and a mortgage — after stress, weight gain, and a panic attack forced a reset. He rebuilt his health with simple, sustainable kettlebell training and turned Layman's Fitness from $696/month into a full-time business. He covers how to budget calories like money, why simplicity beats intensity, and the business realities of building something real without sacrificing family to do it.
