How a Celebrity Trainer Rose to Success – Jason Walsh : 1138

Today I’m talking with one of the most sought-after celebrity trainers on the planet. Jason Walsh has trained stars like Matt Damon, Miles Teller, Brie Larson, and Bradley Cooper for some of the most physically demanding roles of their careers.

He’s also the founder of Rise Nation, a global fitness studio powered by the VersaClimber, where you train like an athlete.

On today’s episode, we talk about how Jason rose to success as a celebrity trainer. He shares the moments that defined his life and career, plus his advice for anyone who wants to get started in the fitness industry. We also go deep on the painful parts of entrepreneurship—unpacking the betrayals and heartbreaks we’ve both experienced as founders.

We explore ways to train your brain and your body for resiliency, and how to redefine forgiveness as an energetic shift. We also talk about Jason’s new protein company, Rise 311. Plus, his take on why you don’t need to train for an hour a day to get results.
