Episode #12: Ed Buckley, Chairman and CEO of Peerfit

Today I'm joined by Ed Buckley.

Ed is the Chairman and CEO of Peerfit.

In today's episode, I talked with Ed about pioneering the concept of "fully-funded fitness", building the billion-dollar bridge between fitness and healthcare, and what the significance of the name, "Peerfit".

I had a great time chatting with Ed and I hope you enjoy listening.

Let's get into it.
