For as long as I can remember I have been voraciously looking for self-improvement books, courses, videos, podcasts, articles, etc. It’s all on a quest to achieve fitness, but not the just the pump iron kind. Fitness can encompass many things … physical, emotional, spiritual, sexual, mental, etc. Some I have overly emphasized and some I have not emphasized enough. However, to truly bathe in the human experience, we must journey to improve all these areas. In the past, there were fewer sources (some trust worthy and some not) and ways to find it (think: paid informercial ads). Now, with the explosion of the Internet and forthcoming A.I. wave, we are inundated with knowledge and information. I mean the firehose is enough to extinguish a fire at the Empire State building! Now knowledge has become SO saturated that we’re left drenched in confusion. Imagine going to a restaurant and seeing a menu board with 25 different hamburger options, at what point do you throw your hands up and just pin the tail on the donkey? This is the beauty of the Chipotle model, few options simply and elegantly presented. I’ve created Fit IQ Academy to be a resource and community to curate the best information in all the areas of fitness (and anymore that I have missed) where we can discuss, pick at, probe and analyze its value. It would be fun to bring in the experts (or influencers) and ask them questions (some of which are crowdsourced from our community). Or maybe we’ll have experts in the community that can lead us in the right direction. Think of our community as a ship in the ocean of knowledge guided by the crew in search for lands where we want to establish our home. We could have multiple homes, but we want to pick the best spots available!
